believe that this union of the telegraph and

VIII not appeal to the ingenuity, the enterprise
and the good sense of the American people the
moment they understand it. 1 am sure that it
is easily susceptible of proof that this con-
Venient, safe and quick service would be very
generally used
USUAL SERVICE STILL AVAILABLE.
The question arises, would the public be sat
istied with telegraphic service which would
not provide immediate delivery. 1t may be re-
marked that the character of the contemplated
service is such that half hour or so at each
end of the line for the postoffice service would
not be objectionable, while. for instance, "A
hours OF more. if the mail were used, would
be SO. The fact would remain, however, that
the usual telegraph service would still be avail
able for business demanding more rapid col
lection and delivery. The plan is intended to
take care of that class of communications
which will stand a delay of an hour or two but
not Of whole day or more.
In conclusion, Mr.. Wanamaker thinks
that the plan would be profitable to the tel
egraph companies, the service would be
more efficient and lower-priced, and the
whole craft OF telegraph operators would be
benefited for the reason that being required
to do work of large variety and more of it
they would command higher prices and
would be better men. LIGHTNER.

Poisoned
by SCrOfula

Is the sad story of many lives made miserable
through no fault of their ow. Scrofula is more
especially than any other ahereditary disease,
and for this simple reason: Arising from i'm.
pure and insufficient blood, the disease locates
itself in the lymphatics, which are composed of
white tissues; there is a period of fetal life
when the whole body consists of white tissues.
and therefore the unborn child is especially
susceptible to this dreadful disease. But
there is
Remedy for Scrofula,
whether hereditary acquired. 1t is Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful effect upon
the blood, expels every trace of the disease
ana gives to the vital fluid the quality and
color of health.
AbSceSS on the Neck.
MY daughter had an abscess on her neck
for fve or six years, being all the time under

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
WASHINGTON, Pa, October 5.-Word
has just reached here of a strange and prob
ably fatal accident which occurred on farm
near Candor. Mrs. Ladshaw found a small
bottle which contained a quantity OF nitro
glyeerine, and, thinking it was carbon oil,
she took it home. Thursday evening, the
fire refusing to burn, she emptied the bottle
in the kitchen stove, when tremendous ex-
plOsion followed.
The house was completely torn away and
Mr.. Ladshaw's body was torn and mangled.
The little 3-year-old boy is also burned
about the face and hands. Mrs. Ladshaw
was struck by flying timbers and consider
ably bruised, though it is wonder she
was not instantly killed. A 6-weeks'- '-old
babe escaped without injury.

JoHNsTowN, October 5.--The man Rulof.
who committed suicide here yesterday by
hanging. has contemplated killing himself
for some time. Two or three months ago he
purchased a revolver with the intention Of
shooting himself Not long ago he called
at the Office of the Freie PresSe and offered
Editor Nickel 500 to shoot him. Mr..
Nickel did not think him of sound mind,
and humored him to the extent of telling
him that as soon as arrangements were made
for the funeral he would comply with the
request.
Ruloff went at once to an undertaken to
order his coffin, but was not successful in
finding one to suit, hence the shooting was
postponed. He was insanely jealous. and
charged his wife with unfaithfulness with
boarder in the house. He claimed to
have caught the man kissing his wife. The
neighbors do not believe he had any occa-
sion for jealousy. They credit Mrs. Rulof
with being good woman and an excellent
manager

the gray sand district, and when the wells now
drilling are finished it will about wind up drilling
for the fall In nearly every section of the county
operators are getting ready for winter. The
production is also falling off and the pro-
ducers are still murmuring against the
Standard for cutting the premium and depress-
Ing the market. Especially is this the case in
the gray sand, where they say the monopolv
had no good reason for taking off The premium.
as 1t is almost identical with the situation in
the Tlona field, where no reduction has Deen
made. While there has been no public demon
stration toward building pipe line and re.
nnery, there is strong undereurrent feeling
developing toward this end. The average pro-
ducer is of the opinion that it too late in the
season TO build refinery of any magnitude
but assert that organization of a pipe line and
storage company is among the possibilities.
