Lively suRar-Making

The Chino Champion, OF Los An
geles county, says: Five hundred
sacks, or $4,000 pounds Of sugar,
were run through the granulator and
sacked at the factory in twelve hours;
80, 900 pounds of this was direct pro-
duct. On Wednesday 300 tons OF
beets were delivered at the factory,
and yesterday all previous records
were broken by bringing in Ais tons
in about nine hours. Pretty lively
work.

South Aurora.

At shareholders meeting of the
New Consolidated Mining Company,
recently held in London, England, the
Chairman said: snow with reference
to the South Aurora. The share
holders knew thai at one time the
shares of this company were worth
from 212 TO 920. The property was
still there. All the silver properties
in that district were what is called
"pockety" that is, there we're no
veins, but silver was found IN large
deposits. 1t was ten years ago that
the companies gave up working these
properties. And they were right, be-
cause the price of silver was so low
and the cost of working SO heavy,
that the property would not have
paid for working. He was confident,
however, that the price of silver
would increase. etc. He did not say
the South Aurora should be worked
at present, but he would tell the
shareholders that they had there q
very fine property, etc"
The mines alluded to are situated
on Treasure Hill, near Hami lton, and
side by side with the New Eberbardt
Company's property. They have al
ways been thought to be valuable,
and, with the reduced price of labor
now might be profitable to work.

That the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution is respected in Bodie,
says the Miner, is evidenced by the
fact that white man, a ChiDamaD
and an Indian were playing cards to-
gether the other day.

From Bad to Worse.

The ordinary tire eatment of contagious
blood poisoning is to drive one poison
from the system by introducing anoth-
er. The result, in most cases. has
been that which usually follows a leap
from the frying pan into the fire. To
put it mildly, mercurial and other min
eral poisonings have disadvantages
which are hardly less serious than con-
tageous blood poison. In either case
the system is wrecked and yet there
is no reason why humanity should con-
tinue to suffer. 1t is the office of S.
S. S. to cure contagious blood posion'
ing. For that disease the medicine is
surely specific. And it is also its
Office to cure mercurial and other min
eral poisoning. In short, S. s. S. is
the great blood purifier. 1t destroys
the germs of the contagious disease,
and expels from the system all forms
of mineral poisoning. 1t restores
health and strength to the suffer.

TWO RAILROAD WRECKS.
Fifty-three Were Killed and
Many Injured.
BOTH WERE EXCURSION TRAINS

One Accident Occurred in Ohio, the
other In France-Oficial List OF Killed
and Injured Near Dayton-The French
Wore Horribly NIangied.
DAYTON, o., July 27-All night the
Union depot was thronged with crowds OF
people impatiently waiting for tidings OF
relatives or friends on the National Cash
Register picnic excursion train, which had
been wrecked by collision near Middle
town. The Cincinnati Hamilton and Day
ton Railroad company, on whose road the
accident occurred, controlled the only tele-
graph line to the scene of the wreck and
1t was impossible to get anything like
accurate Information. The first train 10
arrive bearing a portion Of the excursion,
lists came In about a. M, and two hours
later another bearing the dead and wound
ed. Then It was learned that three people
had been killed outright and seventeen
others injured, some Of them seriously.
Eight Hundred Were on the Train.
The wrecked train consisted Of fourteen
coaches and one baggage car, and was
bearing about 800 employees Of Cash Regis
ter works and their friends to this city
from woodsdals Island park, ncar Hamil-
ton, where they had spent the day in en-
joyment.
A broken drawbar necesstated a stop
on siding near Middletown. This trivial
accident had been repaired and the train
was just getting under way again when
the engine Of q fast freight crashed into
the rear coach. Then ensued frightful
scene. Three coaches were comp pletely de-
molished and three others badly jammed.
Engineer Sohwind, Of the freight train,
saw the passenger train in front Of him
He reversed his engine, whistled for brakes
and applied sand, but it was to no pur.
pose. The momentum Of the freight train
was too great to prevent collision. The
engineer and fireman jumped in time to
save themselves The excursion train was
just pulling Off the side track when the
collision occurred, and the engine struck
the hind coach. knocking it off the track.
1t ripped the side out Of the next one, and
lifted the third one up on top of the steam
dome. Ii was In this car that three per.
sons lost their lives and most of the in
Jured were seated. There have been wild
reports all day Of the loss of life, some per-
sons declaring that they had seen half
dozen dead bodies taken from the wreck
and others placing the number as high as
eleven, but the company's surgeon here
declares the three whose names are given,
were the only ones killed.
The following is an official list Of the
killed:
Frank L. Smontou. aged seventeen years.
William N. Matthews, aged fourteen.
Minnie FREEZER. aged twenty-six.

Pa, That Did Deadly Work.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, July 2S-An excur-
sion train from Johnstown, Pa, brought
about 200 people to this city on pleasure
trip. They left at $3.50 p. IN. on the return
trip. When near lockwood, Pa, fight
took place between some drunken men on
the platform of one of the cars, to qiell
which James Kelly, policeman from
Johnstown, drew n revolver.
This action angered the crowd, and they
made rush for him and forced him be-
tween the cars while the train WAS run
ming at rate of forty miles an hour. The
conductor signaled the train to stop, the
coupling broke and Kelly dropped under
the wheels and was crushed to death.
Lucius Meyers, Of Latrobe, was thrown
from the platform under the wheels and
killed. Milton Pyle, of Somerset, was
thrown against some rocks in the ditch
and had his skull fractured and leg
broken from the effects Of which he died
soon after at Somerset

Two Centuries Linked.
By THE SUPERB LAST DAYS OF
PoMPEu'

Scranton and Pompeii will be
brought together at an early date, thus
linking the first and the nineteenth
centuries. In other words, Scranton
has secured Paine's "Last Days of
Pompeii' for the season, beginning on
Tuesday, July aS. Then, on each Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday thereafter
for four weeks. the unrivalled spectacle
of the destruction OF the doomed city
by an eruption of Vesuvius will be
presented. Half rates have been gran
ted by all the railroads leading to
Scranton, the admission will be at the
popular price of so cents, and every
arrangement will be thoroughly com
plete. Some idea of this wonderful
attraction can be had from the follow
ing paragraph in representative west
ern paper, the st. Louis Chronicle:
"The Last Days OF Pompeii" pre-
sents a series Of wonderful pictures,
reproducing faithfully the life, manners,
costumes, sports, etc, of classic times.
The athletic games and contests. in
which a number of celebrated wrest-
lers and pugilists display their manly
forms, and contend for the favors Of
the audience, are particularly exciting,
while the final thrilling scene, in which
the eruption OF Mount Vesuvius is so
magnihcently pictured, and the total
destruction Of their fair city takes
place, arouses the large audience night
after night to the greatest enthusiasm.
Several hundred persons take part
in the performance, which is given in
the large space below the vast tiers of
seats, from every one Of which good
view can be had. The weather thus
far has been very propitious, and the
performances have gone off splendidly,
the starlit sky serving to brighten the
realism and beauty of the sceue.g The
final display of fireworks is the grand
est sight ever seen here, and is alone
worth long journey to see. a The
spectacle will be repeated every Tues
day, Thursday, and Saturday evenings"
Tickets, 50 cents. Reserved seats,
IS cents. Seats in private, boxes, ST..
Can be secured ten days in advance
of each exhibition. Single fare for
