OiI Oity in Mourning.

OIL CITY, Pa, June 6.-The loss Of
life Is terrible by the flood and fire.
Sixty bodies have so far been recov-
cred. Many bodies were seen floating
ing in the river and many more will
be found when the flood subsidies.
Over 100 families are homeless. Loss
by the disaster is 81, 200, 200.
Eighteen miles of desolation is the
result of the disaster, from 1itusville
to this place. The fire burned out
this morning at 6 O'Clock. The creek
is still rising The desolation has no
rival except Johnstown. The
oil tanks were undermined and
fell in the water. The oil
spread over the water and
sOon all was ablaze. A locomotive
and train passing over an under
mined bridge fell in the flames.
Houses and people were swept away
and the town was burning, One of
two deaths had to be chosen, either
he burned alive or drowned.
Many chose the latter. and
the oil burning on the
water made their death more horrible.
1t is estimated the deaths will amount
to 800. One mile of property in Oil
City proper was destroyed. On the
west bank of the creek not a house is
standing. On the east side for
three-fourths of q mile every build.
ing save one frame house is
destroyed. This remains intact, the
curtains being on the windows and
the MONDAY meal upeaten, is stand
Ing IN the table. The inmates ran
out and were caught in the flood and
fire. All the Eodies have been taken
to the morgue. The Oil City Der
rick's Office was abandoned but the
paper came out again this morning:
Many of the houses were valued at
from $1,000 to $1,000. There were $50
houses. besides hotels, refineries aud
other works destroyed.
TITUsvILLE, Pa, June Geo.
Stephens, q prominent merchant
here, says the fire was caused by a
spark from q passing train of
the Western, New York & Penn
sylvania road which ignited an oil
tank along the line and the oil set fire
to every building with which it came
in contact.

MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, June 6 The

resolute and confident. The ar
rival of another score OF prominent
republican leaders this morning show
ed the division of sentiment as
to the preference for Harrison and
Blaine that has prevailed the past As
hours, SO neither party can be said to
to have proited by the more re-
cent arrivals. The administration
forces are evidently fearing an
other outburst of Blaine enthusiasm
just prior to the opening of the con
vention. 1t is noticeable nearly all
the prominent Blaine clubs from IT,

General Alger denies that he has

day endorsed Blaine and instructed
delegates for him.
More color ed delegates are in the
convention than for many years.
A Mckinley boom struck up this
morning but was frowned down by
the leaders.
Fassett, of New York, is the Blaine
candidate for temporary chairman.
Organization will not likely be effected
for three days, as the credentials COM
mittee has q great deal of work before

Rusk and Warner, Alger
and Washpuru are discussed for vice
president. Warner Miller and Thos.

The Roads to be Allowed to Pay Di-
rect to the State.
CHARLESTON, s. c., March 24.-Argu-
ment commenced in tho United States court
to-day on a motion made by the state to
compel the railroads to make a retender OF
taxes admittedly due the state. Attorney
General McLaurin and Samuel Lord repre-
sented the state and a host of counsel the
railroads. There was much argument and
differences of views, during which Mr.. Lord
Of the counsel for the state charged that
there was conspiracy on the part of the
learned counsel against the ignorant farmers
and countrymen who were county treasur-
ers and who did not understand legal tech
n1calities when the original tenders were
made. Finally the argument was brought
to an abrupt close by an entire change
OF tactics. The states counsel admit the
jurisdiction of the court TO order the taxes
paid into court, aud also to order the same
paid over to the state. They ask the court :,
therefore, to direct the railroads to pay the
money direct to the state. thus saving the
marshaPs costs. Judge Simonton said he
would hear argument on this point to-mor-
row at 10 O'Clock, to which hour the court
adjourned

URIC ACID.
WHAT 1T IS AND now 1T FORMS.

A Clear Description OF This Most
Subtle Ens ny of Modern Am srican
Lifs-What Prominent Professor
Says.
A wel-known professor connected with
leading medical college. in conversation,
recently made the following wonderful as
sertions:
There is probably nothing which has
ever been known in the history of the world
that has caused more real misery to men
and women than that simple and yet dan
gerous element called uric acid. This dan
gerous substance gets into the blood OF men
and women, and even children, even before
they suspect it, and the havoc that it works
is simply appalling. 1t causes rheumatism.
neuralgia, govt and pneumonia 1t is the
cause OF most colds and the actual source of
nearly every case OF grip.
You ask how this dangerous acid gets
into the blOods Very easily. The principal
duty OF the kidneys and bladder are to ex-
pei uric acid from the system. They fail to
work very frequently, and, instead Of
being driven from the system, this poison
GUS uric acid goss into the blood. When
once in the blood it ferments, it poisons, il
causes unnumbered diseases and too often
occasions death.
1t must be plain, even to a novice, that
the only way in which to keep this acid out
OF the blood is to keep the kidneys and
bladder In strong. a healthy and a vigorous
| condition. This is the whole problem in a
nutshell, and the man or woman who does
| this is invariably fires from uric acid and
the Infinite troubles which it causes. have
never known Of but one thing that will in
| every case drive uric acid from the
system, and that is Warmers Safe
| Cure. 1t has been found by the medical
profession to be possessed Of propertieslun-
known to any discovery of ancient or
modern times. 1 have known of women
who have been weak, sallow, run down, Of
| men who have been debilitated and wholly
unnerved, who are to-day pictures OF health
and strength, and they know as well as do
that the result is due to but one thing-the
great cure of which have spoken"
The great truths above stated are as
| certain as existence, and they reveal the
real cause of most physical misery of the
present day, and they clearly reveal the way
OF escaping from such misery. No man or
woman at the present day should be the
victim of uric acid poison. That 1t is very
prevalent is most true, but 10 permit it to
get into the system, or having gotten there
to remain, Is simply folly.

One Set of Stockholders Trying to

MOBILE, ALA, March 24-The case of
Nichols against the Mobile and Ohio rail-
road, which is suit to GUST the present
directory Of the road, came up for hearing
yesterday before Chancellor W. H. Taylor
of this chancery division at Marion, Perry
county. When the case came on the di-
rectors counsel moved TO postpone the
hearing of all motions filed by the stock
holders on the ground that the latter were
in contempt of the injunction issued by the
circuit judge at Montgomery, Ala. in hold
ing the election for directors. The chancellor
decided that the stockholders and directors
elected by them were not in contempt, and
that he would hear their motion to dissolve
the injunction. The motion to dissolve the
injunction filed by the company against the
so-called Mackey stockholders will begin
to-day. These proceedings are regarded as
a victory for the MackeY stockholders in the
