For the cure Of headache, Ayers Cathartic

"During several months past have suffered
from headache without being able to find relief

ed me that consider 1t my duty to publicly state
the fact."-Mrs. NJ. GuymOnd FAN River, Mass
Il have now used Ayers Pills in my family
for seven or eight years. Whenever I have an
attack of headache, to which am very subject,
take dose of Ayers Pills and am always
promptly relieved I find them equally benefi-
ciaI in colds and, i'm my family, they are used
for bilious complaints and other disturbances
with such good effect that we rarely, it ever
have to call in a physician."-H. VOullieme,,

In 1853, by the advice of friend, began the
use of Ayers Pills as a remedy for biliOusness,

served me better than anything had previously
tried."-H. w. Hersh, JudSOnia, Arkansas.

Many of the inventors and vendors
of the various nOstrums that are offered
to the public to-day, only to disappear
and be succeeded by something else
tomorrow, make the most sweeping

two 10-inch, 25-ton Armstrong breech-load-
ing rifles and six 6-inch rifles. The former
are mounted 60 feet from the bow and
stern respectively. on central-pivot car
riages, with hydraulic mechanism for
handling them. The secondary battery in
cludes two six-pounder Elswick quick-tire
guns and several Hotchkiss and Gatling
guns. Under forced draught, at her trial.
the Esmeralda reached the speed OF Is 2S
knots, which was then Justly considered
extraordinary, although'it has since been
surpassed by many cruisers, including sew
eral of our own She can carry 600 tons OF
coal, which would last for 2,2O0 miles at
the reduced speed of ten knots, but for only
800 miles at her maximum. On the voyage
out to the Pacific sne showed herself TO be
a good sea boat.
The Charleston. built by the Union Iron
Works. of San Francisco is an improved
Esmeralda. The Charleston is 300 feet
long by 45 beam, and l5]l mean draught,
and has a displacement OF $3.50 tons, so
that she is considerably larger than the
Esmeralda. Her contract called for 1000
horse power from her compound engines
driving twin screws; but the average
reached, in four hours on her trial, was
only 6.666 However, her speed was con-
siderablv greater than had been expected,
being an average of 1875 knots for four
hours. During portions of this trial her
speed ran above l9 knots, and she is proba-
bly, to-day a faster vessel than the Esme-
ralda.
The battery of the Charleston consists of
two S-inch and six 6-inch breech-loading
rifles, with a secondary battery of rapid
fire guns. beside two revolving cannon on
each mast, short Gatlings. Her S-inch
guns are mounted like the Esmeralda's, at
distance of sixty feet from bow and stern
respectively. and are somewhat protected
against machine-gun fire by segmental
shields Amidships the six 6-inch rifles
are mounted ON the broadside in projecting
sponsors. Like the Esmeralda she has
two military masts, with an armed top.
She carries about 300 men, and has an en-
durance of about $500 miles at ten knots.
Summing up the main features OF the
two cruisers, it may be said that they are
constructed on the same general plan of
high speed and powerful battery, with
nearly all-around fire for the two heaviest

CITY OF MEXICo, May l6.-The Govern
ment denies the truth of the published
rumors that the Chilian steamer Esmeral-
da succeeded in buying even a little amount
of coal at Acapulco, but says, that, on the
contrary, she was ordered out of the port and
is now lying off the coast in neutral waters
waiting, it is thought, for the steamer
Itata. The Esmeralda's steam launch was
patrolling all last night. The general
opinion at Acapulco is that the Esmeralda
is waiting for the United States steamer
Charleston. The officers of the Esmeralda
have been using the telegraph wires at
Acapulco freely.
At ) o'clock this afternoon an unusual
commotion was observed on the Esmeralda
by persons who were watching the insur-
gent vessel through glasses at Acapulco, but
a thorough search of the water failed To
show any sign of an approaching vessel.

NEW OCEAN GREYHOUND.
The Arrival of the Furst Bismarck-A
MagnificentIy Appointed Steamer.

New YORK, May 16-The Furst Bis.
marck, of the Hamburg American line ar
rived to-day. this being her first trip. The
First Bismarck is German built boat and
a sister ship TO the Normannia. She has a
straight stem and a well-rOunded stern
She has length of 800 feet, a width of
| 5115 feet and a depth from the upper deck
to the keel plate of - feet. The deck
houses are . feet high, the promenade deck
rooms 5 feet, and II feet HE her lies the
bridge. The top Of the masts is 1873 feet
above the promenade deck. The three fun
nels have width of II feet and stand 80
feet above the promenade deck. The Off
cial register of the Furst Bismarck is :. 800
TONS but all closed rooms of the ship have
a capacity OF u ,93S tons. a solid longitu-
dinal bulkhead, running through the vessel
from upper deck TO keel, divides the ship
into two non communicating halves, each
of which is supplied with a complete set of
machinery capable of propelling the big
ship. Each half is sub-divided into nu-
merous water-tight compartments, which
cOntne TO one compartment alone any accl-
dent that may happen 10 the ship.
There is an enormous rudder, which Will
turn the ship almost within its own length.
The screws are Of manganese bronze.
They have three blades of Is feet diameter
and 81 feet pitch. The total blade area is
50 square feet and the total disc area is 500
square feet.
The comfort and elegance displayed on
the Furst Bismarck surpass anything yet
offered on any Atlantic greyhound. The
large and luxurious saloons, the ladies'
boudoirs, MUSHROOMS and staterooms are
fitted up in grand style. All staterooms are
supplied with electric bells, wardrobe and
toilet conveRienceS berths and sofas, and
are so arranged and equipped that whole
family can find accommodations in one
room.
One special feature of this ship is the
high and well-lighted steerage. II is pro
vided with perfect system Of ventilation
The steerage is divided off into staterooms
which secure not only comfort, but de-
gree of privacy. There are also convenient
rooms with tables ane benches where
meals can be served. The steerage can
accommodate 1900 persons. With her
crew Furt Bismarck can accommodate
nearly 1000 persons.
The Furst Bismarck reached here at ;
o'clock and has beaten the maiden record
The vessel was obliged to remain outside
the bar last night, which point was reached
at II rs last night. The time of the trip,
as given at the company's Office, was 6days,
ID hours and Is minutes from Southamp-
ton. The difference in the run from
Queenstown 10 New York and that of
Southampton is six hours, so that by this
calculation the Bismarck beats the best
maiden record. The Bismarck carried l30
cabin passengers, among whom was Mr..
Richard Croker, of Tammany Hall, and
996 steerage passengers.

Specsdl Telegram 10 the Sunday Register.
HUNTINGTON, w. VA, May l6.-The
mystery surrounding the death of S. r.
Watts, reported in the REGISTER of yes
terday, is gradually clearing away, and
evidence points with almost unerring GER
tainty to Morris Davis as the guilty man.
Monroe Tinselley, the suspect who mad left
the city, returned last night and gave him
self up He explained his whereabouts on
the night of the disappearance OF Watts,
the Sth, and has witnesses TO help him out.
Nettie Brumfeld, one of the occupants Of
the shanty boat, where it is alleged the
murder took place, has stated that Watts
was killed on the boat and his body dropped.
The officers have been unable to obtain
any other statement from her, but enough
circumstantial evidence has been obtained
to sustain the following details: Watts
Willis and Tillinghast were out on the
night of the Sth on a drunk. About mid
night they went TO the river and entered
the shanty boat occupied by Davis and the
women. There a racket occurred over
one of the women. and 1t is alleged that
Davis knocked Watts down with club,
choked him into insensibility, and then
dropped the body into the river. The pre-
liminary examination of the parties was
postponed from to- day until Monday morn
ing, when it is believed the matter will be
pretty thoroughly sifted The town has
been all torn up over the affair, and in the
vicinity of the county Jail there have been
great crowds of excited people constantly
gathered. Davis is a powerfully 0ullt
fellow, and was formerly resident Of
Ohio.
