pronounced his case to be Consumption
and iucurable. He was persuaded to try

tion, Coughs and Colds and at tho time
was not able to walk across the street

was much better; he continued to use il

Got Diamonds From a Grave.
A cALIFoRNIAr's SECOND WIFE DEsPOns
THE BODY OF HER PREDECESSOR.
From the PHILADELPHIA Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A unique story comes from MADEIRA
CAL, Cameron Dyce is well-to-do fru
raiser of that nelghbOrhoOd, and within
the past year has taken to himself SECOND
wife. His first betterhalf was lady very
wealthy in her own right, and the posses
sor of a number of valuable diamond or
naments, among which was q par o.
rings. Dying, she requested that she bt
buried In these, which was done. Tn,
second wife, it appears, on hearing Of thes,
valuables, thought Leress,f much de-
frauded, and insisted upon her husband
opening the grave of the deceased Mrs
Dyce and getting them for her.
This he declined to do in spite of tears
and sulks, and the lady finally ceased tC
importune hin, but it began to be whls
pered a week or two ago that she was
wearing pair of earrings so singularly
| like those of her predecessor that the
latter's friends were convinced they were
the same. This coming to Mr.. Dyce';
ears, he charged his wife with having en-
plOyed some one 10 open the grave and
steal the jewels. She admitted that they
were the earrings in question, but de-
clared that, tiuding no one willing to dc
the thing for her, she had herself gone at
night and disinterred the coffin aud, tax
Ing the Jewels, replaced the lid, reflled
the grave, and then walked back home
| five mills.
Mr.. Dyce deuounces the woman as a
ghOul and refuses to live with her any
longer. The affair has created consider
able stir in the neighborhoOd, while the
authorities are rather at loss as to what
measures to take in tue matter, involving
as it does several delicate points in law
Mrs. Dyce brazens the thing out aud says
she has 4 light to the Jewels.

Death Roll of a Trestle.

CHARLEsTowN, w. Va, July Sat
least thirteen persons were killed and a
large number seriously wounded, several
of them mortally, in a railroad wreck,
the worst the State of West Virginia eve,
saw, at o'clock Saturday morning, on
the Kanawha and Michigan Railroad,
eight miles from Charleston. the capital
of the State. 1t was tlaIn No. |, which
consisted of an engine, combined baggage,
mail and express car and two coaches.
The coaches we're filed with passengers,
most of whom were laboring people out
for o holiday in the country. The Order
of United Mechanics was en- route to Poca
to spend the day, many of them accom-
panied by their wives. Many of the pas
sengers were employees of the railway
company going to their homes along tue
line to spend the holiday. There is a
trestle at Farm, village eight miles
tn of this city, So feet high, which
caught FIRE OF some time during the light
from an uuaccountable cause, probably
from a cinder from an engine passing
abont midnight. While the bridge was
not consumed, its foundations were so
badly damaged as to render it unsafe to
cross. No notification of the fact was
received here, however. and the train, the
first of the day, was passing over the tres
tie when there came crash. The coaches
rocked and shook. women screamed and
stout men turned pale with fear. A mo-
ment more and a fearful plunge was
made. The forward passenger car rolled
down the approach to the trestle, turned
completely and rested right side MP ten

ed over the edge, turned bottom up and
fell twenty feet below the track. IL the
terrible fall many persons were crushed
and bruised, but, to add to the horror, the
rear truck, which remained on the track,
fell over on top of the car, crushing every
thing under 1t and killing nearly every
person who was in that portion of the
car. One dead body after another was
pulled out through the window, most of
them horribly mangled,

Shocked to Death.
-FOUR MURDERERs EXECUTED BY ELEc-
TRICITY At SING SING.

TRIClIl AT SING SING.
SING SING, N. Y, July James j.
Slocum, Harris a. Smiler, Joseph Wood
and Shibnya Jugiro were executed by
electricity IN the order named, for the
crime of murder, in the prison at this
place this moruIug. The approximate
| time of the turning on of the cnrrent in
each was: Socum, 4I0 O'Clock Smiler,
$40 ; Wood, $50; Jugiro, Cos.
The prisoners had received some init
nation beforehand that the executions
were TO take place this morning and they
were prepared for them. They went to
the execution chair bravely. and met their
fate withsut a struggle. They offered no
resistance, bat rather assisted the keepers
when they were bound down in the chair.
The electrodes were not applied as in the
case of William Kemmler, executed bv
electricity at Auburn prison August 8,
1890, to the top of the skull and the base
of the spine, but were bound to the fore
heads of the condemned men and the
CALVES OF their legs. The current was
turned on in each case for twenty seconds.
The voltage was between 800 and | 600.
In each case there were apparent eyiden-
ces of revival, as in the Kemmler case,
and in each of these four cases the cnr-
rent was turned OH a second time. In
spite of the fact that the sponges we've
kept constantly wet all of the executed
men were burned by tie current, and
especially about the calves of the legs.
The medical men present agree that
death came on first contact, and that the
seeming revival was merely a reflex mus
cular action. Some OF the witnesses
were overcome by fright, and all of them
who have spoken have made the state
ment that the electrodes were successful
and that death in all cases was instan-
taneous and painless.

Hunger is the Best Sauce.

As rule, person who has good ap-
petite has good health. Bat how many
there are who enjoy nothing they eat, and
sit down to meals only as an unpleasant
duty. Natures antIdotes for this con-
ditlon are so happily combined in Hoods
Sarsaparilla that it soon restores good
digestion, creates an appetite, and reno
Yates and vitalizes the blood so that the
beneficial OBJECT OF good food is impaired
to the whole body. Truly hun3er IL the

ed by a condition, not theory, although
there are numbers of people ready and
anxious to theorize about 1t. In ninety
nine cases out of hundred s. s. s. will

debility, this wonderful medicine acts
with almost miraculous certainty. IL re-

tonic for young and old it is witout a

the Youngest or the oldest can take 1t

The tin-plate liar is now confronted by
argument which will be very diflicuIt to
eyade or Tefute. The n. Il G. Taylor
Company, of Philadelphia, highly re-
spectacle and prosperous concern now IN
its 82nd scar, is sending out samples of
the tin it is manufacturing. A sample Of
this tin was received by the Iader appeal
few days ago, aud one of the best timers
in this city was requested TO give his
opinion concerning il. After examining
it carefully he declared that the sample
was of the very best quality OF Unequal
TO the best cameret and worth at pre-
vailing prices SIS per box.
This settles cOnelusively the claim first
that quality tin can be made in this cOun-
try, and what the n. & G. Taylor
Company has done eau be done by
Others. Thirty millions OF dollars
that now 90 to pay foreign labor,
and to enrich foreign tin-m manufacturers
will be kept in this country to hnd EN-
ployment for our own laborers, to enrich
our own manufacturers, and to build up the
commercial independence, prosperity aud
greatness of our own country. We do
not pretend to say that in the infancy of
this industry the prices of tin will not be
a little higher than they have been,
though, on the other hand, we do not say
that they will be higher. Unless oul
Welsh friends have been extortlng on us
most outrageously, the probability is
that TIE prices will temporarily rise, but
the protection against foreign competition
which becomes operative today will stun
uIate a vigorous and wholesome cOmpeti-
ton at home, and the result will be, as il
has always been under the operation of
protection, that prices will be lower than
under absolute free trade with foreign
manufactures without home competition
Tho manufacture If tin will not prove an
exception to the rule.-Petrsbarg Indtr-
appeal, Dem, July 1.
