Soon after the great flood in the Con.
emaugh Valley, Pa, last summer, the
press dispatches hera!ded the news Of
an epidemic OF diarrhma ut Youngstown
Tho following letter from Rev. II. L
Chapman, pastor OF the Methodist Epis.
copal Church, Johnstown, gives the par
ticulars and most successful remedy
used:
The box OF six dozen Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and DiarrLpa Remedy
which you sent 4: the suggestion Of
Hon. Wesley Redhead. reached us soon
after the great flood and at q time when
diarrhua was quite prevalent. As soon
as it became known tha. | had the medi.
cine for distribution, there began q great
run on it, which continued until it was
about all gone. Every one, go far as l
heard from them, testified to its virtues,
declaring it the best medicine for the
purpose they had ever used. Those who
got it shared it around with their neigh
bors, 80 that | am confident your gener-
esity in aending it was productive OF
great good. We used some OF i. our.
uelves and found it not only an excel.
lent medicine for diarrhpa, but for all
kinds OF pain and uneasiness in the
stomach and bowels. 1t has been re-
carded as the best medicine known here
for the diseases it is recommended for,
In view OF your scnding such a large
quantity for free distribution among
poor people, l think you sre entitled to
this testimonial in it's fayor.-H. L,

The Island Real Estate Movement,

A good deal has been said about the
activity in Island real estate and its
probable significance. 1t is now stated
that the gentlemen interested have
boughta portion Of Z,ne's orchard addi-
ton located between Wabash street and
the Back river. They are also negotiat.
ing for the land between this and Ohio
street. owned by \. G. Robinson, where
they propose to erect IN Electric power
house. They are also trying to purchase
the strip Of land owned by John Smith,
the gardener, and extending along the
Back river from Zane's Orchard addi-
ton to the State Fair Grounds. 1t is
said to be part Of the scheme to run the
Electric Street car line along the Back
river from the proposed ny" bridge to
to the State Fair Grounds, which will be
q great convenience to attendants at the
Fair.
A low bridge will DO thrown across
the river and the street car line contin-
ued to Bellaire. The land contiguous 10
the street car line, between West Wheel
ing and Bel!aire. will be purchased and
laid of in lots for building purposes, as
will also DO the John Smith property on
the Island. 1t is stated also that the
syndicate has purchased Mr.. Jamea
Neills property On South Penn street.
All this may or may not be true.

Saturday while tho work OF e<cayatine
for the eastern pier OF the new bridge tc
the Island was progressing, a hard oh.
ject, ut first supposed to be a rock, was
struck. It was dug out, and one OF the
workmen lifted It with the remark:
"Ssy, here's abone Of Az OF q big
cow!"
1t was in the blue cement clay, fifteen
feet below tho surface, and probably
eight feet below the river bed. 1t was a
bone, but petrifed; about twenty-five
inchts IN diameter at the greatest bulk,
a loot through at tue naTrowest point,
tainly not half, probably not a third, Of
the bone is in it. Everything of the
kind is supposed to be part Of n masto-
don, and so this wac called. It is more
likely to be part Of d mastodon then 9
bone ot-ot a biz COW.

evening from IN extended visit to the
Blue Grass Fishing Club, which is
camped near Franklin, ont in Harrison

man named J. A. Perry, who lived near
the camp, was standing in his house
holding a tin cup to keep u little stream
OF water from trickling on the floor,
when u bolt OF lightning struck him,
knocking tho tin out OF bis hand and
splitting its sides open, running along
his arm to his breast, where it burned
a terrible hole, and then down into his
shoes, which it burst open. His wife
and children were sitting near, but
were not shocked. Perry never
breathed.
Near by another man was struck by
lightning and his arm painfully burned.
Every moment, Conrad says, the light.
