Among the nameless heroes, none arc
more worthy of martyrdom than he who
rode down the valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johns
town flood. Mounted on powerful
horse, faster and faster went the rider,
but the flood was swiftly gaining, until
IL caught the unlucky horseman and
swept on, grinding, crushing, annihila-
ting both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damocles,
ready to fall, without warning, on its
victim, who allows his system to be-
come clogged up, and his blood pol
soned, and thereby his health endan-
gered. To eradicate these poisons from
the system, no matter what their name
or nature, and save yourself spell Of
malarial, typhoid or bilious fever, or
eruptions, swellings, tumors and kim
bred disiigurements, keep the liver and
kidneys healthy and vigorous, by the
use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

A Reliable CoInnany.

No person is better known among the
business men of Chicago than is ALoNzo
WYGANT, who for several years past has
occupied the position of agent of the
UniAed Statos Express Company in that
city. He has the esteem of every one
who has ever met him, socially or in
business. On the lst of July Mr.. Wygant
severed his connection with the express
company, and embarked in new line of
trade. Joining with others, he formed the
Ayres Il Wyeant Company and purchased
the old and well-known Chicago institu-
ton, Reeds Temple of Music, located
at lS2 and ls4 Wabash avenue, where he
will be pleased TO meet his friends, and
show them the finest line of pianos, or
gans. ald other musical instruments to
lie found in the West. Reeds Temple OF
Music will, lose none of its old-time popu-
larity und ,r the management of the Ayres
and Wygant Company. All who are in
terested il. good music should cab upon
this new company when visiting Chicago.
1t will be pleasure to make their ac-
quaintance.

A Safeguard for Workers an Compressed
Air.


It has been found by sad experience
that work in compressed air, such as has
TO be done sometimes in sinking founda-
tions or in driving subaqueous tunnels,
often results in serious injuries to health
and sometimes even causes death. The
danger does not appear TO lie 80 much In
the application of the pressure as in its
too rapid removal, especially after being
exposed to il for too long time; md 1t
has been observed that If workman who
has collapsed on coming out OF the air
lock is promptly put back in the chain
Der, and then the pressure reduced very
gradually, he will suffer little, IL any, Ill
effect from what might otherwise prove a
serious matter.
Noticing this circumstance, and finding
frequent occasion to employ such treat
iaent for the men engaged under his
charge on tho Hudson River Tunnel, the
resident engineer in charge of the work,
T.. w. Moir. determined to make n special
arrangement for such cases, as the grad
ual reduction of the pressure in the air.
locks often consumed so much time as tc
interfere with the progress OF the work.
He has, therefore, designed separate
pressure chamber, in which any man who
shows symptoms of suffering from too
rapid release of pressure on coming out
of the r-locks can be at once placed,
and the pressure relieved as slowly as
need be, while at the same time opportu-
nifty is given for the entrance of physi-
clan, and no interference with the work.
ing air. locks is necessary.
The apparatus consists of cylinder OF
e-inch boiler plate some feet in diane
ter and 10 feet long, lying on its side.
The air-tight door opens inward at one
end, and in the middle is partition,
with similar door. Light is given by
some bulPs-eyes in the sides, and the
structure is designed and braced for
pressure of 40 pounds per square inch.
The patient is carried in on a stretcher
and placed In the inner chamber, the
middle door is then closed and the air
pressure turned on, which is afterward
allowed to slowly escape. Should 1t lie
necessary for a physician to enter, the
outer chamber will answer for an air
lock for that purpose; or, in case of emer-
gency, it can accommodate another patient
on a stretcher.
The chamber is being built by the
Cockburn Barrow Company, of Jersey
City, and il seems asonable 10 expect
that it will materially increase the safety
and comfort Of work in the tunnel.

Reopeninp "A

In order TO guard against results utterly sub
versive OF health it is absolutely essential that
the grand thoroughfare avenue of the sys-
TEN, the bowels, should be reopened as speed
lily as possible when they become INSTRUCTED.

A singular character, by name Martha
Ann Tillson and who was known as the
SNAKE woman" died near Salem, Va, re-
esrtly. She lived in little cabin at the
foot of Twelve O'Clock Knob, and led
hermit's life. having no one TO share her
abode except snakes. by the few who
were ever allowed TO see the interior OF
her cabin il is said to have literally
swermed with her strange companions,
wdh which she ate and slept, and which
were TO be seen lying in her bosom and
coiled about her neck, body and limbs
whenever she was caught sight of.
Her extraordinary prediction for
these unpleasant creatures is supposed
10 have arisen from a morbid feeliD z that
she was, like them, hated by men, for,
naturally deformed. she received in adj
dition an injury 10 the spine while an
infant. and, though perfectly sound in
mind, was of so sensitive nature as to
render her miserable and uneasy in the
presence of any but her parents. She
was observed to steal away every day with
a pan of milk. and, on being followed,
was found to be caressing dozen or so
hideous rattlesnakes, while they drank
from the vessel which she held in her
lap. Horrifed, her parents tried to rea-
son with her, then TO punish, and finally
her of her fondness for the reptiles, but
she pinned so for her pets that they feared
she would die if kept from them.
She was a little, fair woman of about
As. with sandy hair, very abundant and
long, which she wore In number OF
tight plaits, which, combined with her
deformiiy aud the odd, miscellaneous
style of dressing the result of her re-
fusual to hold any communication with
a fellow being, served to make her a
most remarkable looking object. She
was looked upon as a witch by the negroes
about. who declared her to be possessed
of the evil eye. and hated and feared her
accordingly, though her life was a most
harmless, quiet one. She had been dead
some days when discovered, and her dead
body was literally covered by writhing
mass of snakes. which had to be killed
before it could be removed, FOR the rep
tiles turned viciously on all approaching
the remains. On her heart WIS found
coiled huge rattlesnake dead.

Another Slight Accident fin Which
 This Famous Train is n Participant
 Engineer Benjamfn.s Pluck and
 Cool Nervc-He is Rewarded.
 Another accident occurred on the Shore Line division last evening, and though it proved to be slight in the amount of dam age done yet it was a mighty narrow escape from a serious good-old-fime smashup and gives the public another example of the imperative need of double-tracking this much-traveled road. This accident hap pened at East Haven and was between the famous ''gilt edge" expressswhich leaves this city at 6:55 pm. and an accommoda- tion coming west due here at 7:20. It is customary for these trains to meet at Branford, where the accommodation runs off on to side track and allows theexpress to rush by at full speed. Last night this train receivedits orders from the dispatcher to go on as far as East Haven and meet the express there, and these orders were car ried out. The sign was up here notifying the express but not noticed in time. The accommodation came down and so did the express both rushing toward one another at frightful speed. Engineer Frank Ben jamin of the west bound train here did plucky thing and was literally rewarded for it later by grateful set of passengers, many of whom undoubtedly owe him their lives. He saw that he could not make the side track in time, lacking but just ever so little, so he promptly reversed his en- zine and began to back his train, so at least to break the force of the collision if it were impossible to get entirely out of the way. Both fremen jumped, but Engineer Tracy of the express remained at his post, doing his best to stop his train The two engines struck, but only to infiict injuries to the. cowcatchers, which were badly bent out of all shape. This caused a delay to travel of over an hour and a half. The accommodation arrived at this city at 9:45 and was helped in by the ex- press from Boston. The passengers on both trains that collided were more or less startled for few minutes, but soon were treasured and congratulated themselves on their narrow escape

 cey Depew Interviewed.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-All of the switch men employed by the Wabash railroad in Chicago struck this afternoon and not a wheel is turning. About 200 men left their posts, completely stopping all traffic. The trouble is over the non-payment of wages. It has been customary to pay the employees of the road on the 18th of each month, but this month the paymaster left St. Louis two days later so that without rushing matters he could not reach Chica- go until Monday. This was communicated to the yardmaster, who in turn notified the men this afternoon. As soon as they heard the news the switchmen left their posts, completely tieing up the road.
 ALBANY, Aug. 15.-A schocking fatality occurred at the West Albany freight yard early this morning, resulting in the death of two Pinkerton detectives on duty there, named George D. Rossiter and Alfred Lud- ington. They were from Philadelphia. They-were working at the time of the acci- dent among thefreight cars, when a car was backed down suddenly upon them. Both were caught between the bumpers and horribly crushed. The news Spreau qulckIy tnrouSn tne clty, ana a rumor gained currency that fatal encounter had occurred between the strikers and the detectives. The result was that an excited crowd gathered about the yards all through the early hours of the morning.
 HAMBURG, Aug 15.-Mr. Chauncey M Depew, president of the New York and Hudson river railroad in an interview here to-day was asked his opinion of the situa- ton of affairs in regard to the strike on the road. MT. Depew in reply said that he did not think it was necessary to ex- press an opinion in view of the fact that the strike was ended.
 ALBANY, Aug. 25.-One hundred more Pinkerton men arrived to-day. During the evening a number of the Pinkerton men stationed on the track in the northern section were stoned by persons hidden in or about houses in that neighborhood Five received injuries, and their wounds were dressed by physicians. It is not known whether the persons who threw the missiles were strikers.
