HEAVY THUNDER STORM.
Much Damage Done at Pittsburg by the
Wind and Water.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept. 26.-One of the
heaviest thunder-storms of the season
passed over this section about O clock
last night, doing great damage. A
high wind prevailed at the time and the
rain fell in torrents. Trees and fences
were blown down, telegraph, telephone
and electric light wires Frustrated and
several houses were struck by light
ming. AS far as known, however, no
one was seriously injured. In the
Butchers Run district and in tho
higher parts of the city cellars were
flooded and small out-houses washed
from t cir foundations. The storm
left the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies badly crippled,
while hundreds of telephones were
rendered useless. AS result of the
prostration of the electric light wires
whole districts were left in total dark
ness. The loss by the storm cannot
now be estimated.

THE DETROIT soUABBLE.
Federal and State Officers in Collision
About Quarantine.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The conflict
of authority at Detroit between the
State board on one side and the city
health officer and United States in
spectors on the other in regard
to the quarantine of suspected
immigrants from Canada has been
brought to the attention of
the treasury department by the col
lector of customs at Detroit. He sent
a telegram to Assistant Secretary
Spaulding saying that the State board
enjoined twenty-five days quaran-
tine in cases of immigrants from in
fected ports entering by way of Can
ada, and that the city health
authorities were passing all immi-
grants holding a Canadian health
certificate. The collector asked which
he should recognize. Assistant Secre-
tary Spaulding said the department
would not interfere at this time, but
expressed the hope that the authori-
ties would reconcile their differences
and work in harmony. Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman of the Marine hospital
service is in correspondence with the
health officers at Detroit with view
to securing unity of action.

New YORK, Dec. LIN the Briggs
case today, after long argument, the
question OF voting on items separately
wss put and carried. Moderator Bliss
called upon the defendant to plead
guilty or not guilty. Briggs insisted be-
fore answering that all evidence against
him be read. The moderator ruled,
however, that he must plead at once.
II am not guilty." answered DR..
Briggs.
Colonel McCook then formally opened
the case against Briggs. He offered in
evidence the holy scripture, the stand
ards of the Presbyterian church, Briggs
books, etc. Then the defendant set a
trap for McCook, into which the latter
stepped with haste.
"You offer the holy scriptures" said
Briggs, "but to which version do you
refer"
"King James version" innoceDtly
replied the colonel.
''Then your evidence is unlawful, for
the Presbyterian standard of authority
is not the translation OF King James,
but the original version" retorted the
doctor.
A litter followed this sally, which DR..
Robinson augmented by exclaiming
"We are making ourselves the laughing
stocks of the galleries"
Colonel McCook yielded to DR.. Briggs
any advantage which might accrue to
him in consequence OF discrepancies be-
tween the two versions.

Everything Indicates It's Speedy Ap-
proach-What the Indications Are
Concerning 1t Abroad.
Reports from Europe which are appearing in
the papers shsw that the grip has broken out in
a most violent form in England, and the indi-
cations are that it is commencing its fourth
annual tour of the world. The physicians here
in America report many people suffering from
symptoms which indica,e the coming on of
this terrible scourge. While there may not as
yet be an epidemic, there are enough cases and
enough serious cases to demand the greatest
care and caution. The proverb, "ln time of
peace prepare for war;" is one of the most
valuable sayings ever uttered. The grip, with
all its unpleasantness, with all its seriousness,
with all its danger. can be prevented, II taken
in time, and if people properly prepare for 1t.
There is but one way to prepare for the COM
ing on of the grip, and that is to tone up the
system, build up the energies, strengthen the
oughly prepared for them This cannot, how
ever, be done, except in one way: That way is
the use of some pure stimulant, which Will
help the vital torces. increase the circulation,
and strengthen the life generally. There is,
however. but one pure medicinal stimulant
known to the medical world or the American
people. That stimulant has been before the
public for years, and is exceedingly popular
with both men and women. 1t is Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. 1t is not an ordinary whiskey,
but pure medicinal one. Its popularity is
wonderful, and it is due entirely to the fact
that it Is so superior in every way. For pre-
venting the coming of the grip it is unequaled,
for it fortifes the system to withstand its at
tacks. Care shoulG be taken that no druggist
or grocer sells YOU some other whiskey which
he may claim to be just as good. There is
nothing which can take its place.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The annual re-
port of Second Assistant Postmaster
General Bell, for the year ending June
3Oth, shows the total cost of the inland
mail service to be SAL 1886, 1872; foreign
mail service, $So6, las. Compared with
last year there was an increase in the
star route service of 1915 routes, 5S77
miles in length of route, and $196,06l in
annual expenditure.
The mail messenger service showed
an increase of 204 routes and $6S, AT in
expenditure. The railroad service was
increased by 154 routes, 505S miles in
length and $l,797 ,461 in cost. The rail-
way postof1ice clerks were increased 3S5
in number, and SAIL ,610 in expendi-
lures. special facilities on the trunk
lines showed decrease in cost Of
$9S,S07.
The annual report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-General Rathbone shows
4105 new postoffices established during
the year, greater number than for any
previous year except 1890. when it was
4427. The year closed with 81, III post
offices in the United States. The largest
increase in number of new postofices
was in the southern states.
Rathbone suggests an amendment to
the law making the mailing OF green
goods circulars continuing otfense
from the time of mailing to the place Of
destination, so that prosecution can take
place at either point. A similar enact
ment in regard to lotteries has about
swept them out of existence in two
years and. he believes, the same effect
would follow in the case of green goods
