All Testimony Can Be Easily

CITY AND SUBURBAN ECHOES.

We have been presenting to our readers
from time to time records of cases that have
been cured and the statement made by the
patient so relieved These cases were all
presented to the reader accompanied by the
address and cut of the patient making the
statement, so that their truth could be easi-
ly verified. Nearly every case so presented
were considered by the patient and their
friends remarkable cures, as they had all
been long sufferers from the disease and
taken every known method to effect cure,
all failing until they tried Drs. Copeland
and Blair's treatment These statements
only go to prove our claim: that our treat
ment is the one most successful and sure in
its results.

stTaUion will be the largest ever witnessed in
Western Pennsylvania. -.-

THE FEATURES OF LOCAL SPECULATION

The Mrs. Toner property, on Center ave.

lot, two dwellings and store, changed
ownership yesterday at a price closely ap-
proximating $4,000. 1t was purchased by
Mr.. E. M. Chessman as an investment.
Sheriff McCleary has bought, or will buy
in the next few days, 5Ox2OO feet running
from Oakland avenue to Atwood street,
from James Mcknight, for $1,000. He intends
to build home for himself on this property.
The price is considered very reasonable for
that locality.
Electric Lighting in Pittsburg.
1t has been stated in this column, on good
authority, that there are more incandescent
electric lights in Pittsburg than in any other
city in the United States. There are three
local companies-Allegheny County. East
End and Westinghouse, and business is
pretty evenly divided between them. The
following table shows the exact number of
incandescent lights connected in circuit
each month by the East End company
since its organization, January 20, 1886, up
to the end of the year 1890. The business of
this company is largely that of residence
