Captured an Amazon

After many unsuccessful attempts the au
thorities of AccoDack have finally succeed
ed 10 capturing Margaret Thorne, who for
many years has eveded arrest though coz
victed by the court. She is about 60 years
of years, of immense size, weighing nearly
800 pounds, and as strong as any man. Her
inhuence is great, especially with the
"Charlestowc Tigers," an organization of
young fellows who have no respect for the
law. EIrs. Thorne has been again and
again convicted of selling liquor without q
license, but has always kept out Jail. On
one occasion when they came Unexpectedly
into her house she stripped eff all but one
garment aud then deGaltly dared the
officers to take her to Jail. Not caring
to take her through the country in that
condition, the officers withdrew, nor Was
she again molested until Judge Gillett, re-
Gently, elected, took his seat on the bench.
he determined 10 enforce the law, and is.
sued bench warrant for Margaret's arrest,
and ordered that she be placed in Jail to
serve aix months sentence imposed by
the last court. Knowing the women's des-
psre,e character, Constable Guenther as.
sembled posse end proceeded after mid
night to arrest her. On reaching her house
they broke down the door. Margaret was
in bed and refused TO get up or put on any
clothing Some Of the meu attempted to
null her out, but the woman fought like O
iger, and for time kept the officers at bay.
Her daughters, who, like their mother, are
of hercUlean build, came to Margaret's as.
satauce and pitched battle ensued. After
e fight, during which some pretty bard
knocks we're received on both sides, the old
amazon was bundled in blankets, hustled
into carrisgs and driven of. Her captors
had only time to Withdraw when detsch-
ment of Charlestown Tigers reached the
cottage 10 help the old woman. Margaret
ia now in jal cursng tho Judge and swear

A New Method Of Treating Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is new de-
parture in the treatment OF disease. It
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and
America, and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
indigestion, stomach and liver troubles
only, was obtained and prepared. The
treatment ofother physicians, celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and so
on till these incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs, kidneys female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous Gebil-
ity.
This new method of zone remedy for
one disease" must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the i'll effects, and thorough
ly realize the absurnity of the claims of
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed
to cure every i'll out of a single bottle,
and the use of which, as staff tics prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.
A circular describing these new remedies
is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company

liable agents wanted.

He Chased an Engine.

An iron manufacturer of this city had a
thrilling experience on the Pennsylvania rail-
road few days ago that so far has not found
its way iuto print, says the Fittsburg Dispatch
He had engaged ten sections in a sleeper at
Philadelphia for himself and family, but by
some mistake the first section OF the train, to
which the party belonged pulled out of the
Pennsylvania depot before the family arrived
There was hustling for few minutes and
another sleeper was found and put into the
second section and as there was no time for
proper makeup, the sleeper was placed next to
the tender OF the locomotive
All went we'll enough until the train had come
some dista..ce down the western slope of the
mountain, when the manufacturer noticed that
the car was running at a terrific rate of speed
Turning to look for the locomotive he was
horror-stricken TO see it scudding away like the
wind, trying to keep out of the way of the train,
and the engineer making frantic motions for
som thing to be DONE
The passenger seized the brake wheel and was
further Mortified to find the chain broken. By
this time the engineer. seeing that the passen ger
until the flying train came within ear shot, and
called to the ironmaker to run into the lavatory
and turn the valve on the air brake.
He obeyed, but found the door locked and
some one on the inside who refused to open the
door. There was no tins for explanation 50
he kick d the door in and caught the valve lust
as the irate occupant was getting in good fl yht-
ing trim.
The latter then comprehended the situation
and ceased his belligerent demonstrations
The speed of the train wss slackened sufficiently
TO allow 1t to connect with the locomotive and
repairs were made. The trouble was that the
coupling had pulled out of the sleeper
