Things worth Rememberine.

When you feel kind of goneness about
the stomach it is sign that your food does
not sit we'll and that you are about to have
fit of Indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and are
unable to sit still comfortablyi when your
clothes suddenly seem to lose their fit and
become too tight in places, the fit of indiges-
ton is surely upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is repeated
from day to day it finally resolves itself
into dyspepsia.
Remember that three to ten of Brand
reth's Fills will cure the worst case of in-
digestion or dyspepsia, or both, and that a
regular course of them, say two every
night for week or ten days, will act as a
preventive of either complaint.

The food was terrible reminder of the
Johnstown food, but fortunately is moi
marked by loss of life.
No, 2 dam is located directly north oi
Robinsone patch and covers about SOC
acres 1t is located about two miles north
east from Mahanoy City.
The breach in the breastwork of the dam
is about 70 feet wide at the top and about
thirty feet at the base.
The town is indignant over the affair and
charges that the breastwork has shown
signs of weakness for two weeks. The
people allege that the attention of the COM
pany was called to the weakness as late as
yesterday afternoon, but the officials
ridiculed all apprehensions.
The dam burst through at about ten
o'clock last night. The embankment of
the Lehigh Valley railroad caught the rush
and subdued the terrible flow of water for
about twenty minutes.
To this halt the people residing in
Robinson's patch below owe their lives.
They heard the first roar of the water
and, on account of the previous apprehen-
sions, they knew at once what had hap
pened. They fed up the mountains with
all possible haste, leaving everything they
had in the houses behind. Their flight was
none too soon. They barely reached the
summit of the mountain when the railroad
embankment gave way and the water
rushed through the patch below with dis
sstrous effect.
Twenty houses in the patch were swept
from their foundations and completely
wrecked. All the furniture, wearing
apparel and other contents were lost. The
first house to go was that of james Wright.
1t was carried 65 yards from its foundation |
and then swept in pieces down the valley. !
On the way to Bowmsn's patch three
turnpike bridges were swept away.
AT Bowmans patch the houses occupied
by Patrick Mooney, John Elliott Patrick
Ryan, Michael Mccullough and James
Mulvey were totally wrecked and the
debris were swept along with immense
trees and stumps

debris carried along by the food wrecked
Lrestles and blocked up the drift. At the
stable of this colliery was left stock of
freight car wheels twenty feet high, but
here was no trace of the cars.

damaged they may be idle for two weeks.

Testimony in the Big Damage
Suit All In.
Engineer Doremus Does Not Believe Alfred
is Entitled to Recover One
Cent.

The last Of the evidence in the great dam
age suit brought by p. H. Alfred and his
two sons against Salt Lake city, which has
| been on trial In the Fourth district court
at Ogden since Tuesday afternoon, was
introduced last evening, and the court ad-
journed until Tuesday, when the argu-
ments will be made and the case given to
the jury.
By request of the interested parties,
Judge Miner made an order allowing the
jury to yisit the city wells and the Alfred
farm, and tomorrow morning at o'clock,
accompanied by two officers and experts,
the twelve men in whose hands the case
will soon rest. will leave for Lehi over the
Rio Grande Western. Arriving at that
city, conveyances will DO taken and the en-
tire ground in contest completely gone
over.
City Engineer Doremus was the princi-
pal witness yesterday. His evidence was
very competent and will undoubtedly have
great weight with the jury. BY means of
several maps and drawings the engineer
gave a vast amount of expert testimony,
showing conclusiyely, according to his de-
ductions, how, while the city wells and the
Alfred spring and wells might have their
source in the same water zone or basin,
there could possibly be no underground
current or stream as claimed by the plain
tiffs, for the reason that the country in the
vicinity In question is sedementary
and running water could not find q
confined. definite or permanent channel.
He admitted, as before stated, that the
same body or underground reservoir of
water might furnish the head for both the
city wells and the Alfred springs, but the
drying up of the latter was not due direct
ly to the opening of the defendants wells !
but to the dry season and the great number
of wells which had been put down by other
parties throughout the Utah valley
Ex-Watermaster WilcKins gave brief
account of the causes which had led up to
the sinking of the city wells, and stated
that just as soon as any complaints reached
him from parties who claimed that the
great volume of water flowing from the
wells as decreasing the flow of their
spring and well, the former were all capped
and no more were put down.
