Have Your Deeds Recorded.

There has always been ignorant
carelessness in having deeds recorded as
evidence that property has changed
hands, by which negligence much i'm
position has been practiced by former
owners, who secured credit on the
faith that they still had an interest in
such real estate. This practice was
often as much the result of mean par.
simony, on the part of purchasers Of
property. who sought thereby to evade
the immediate payment of the fees for
recording these deeds, hoping in the
meantime to sell the property and
thus escape that expense altogether.
Under an act of the legislature Of
1893, deeds after being signed and
witnessed not recorded in ninety days
thereafter are considered fraudulent
and void against any subsequent pur-
chaser or mortgages. The terms of
this law not being generally under
stood are, as is usually the case with
acts of the legislature of this class, tine
cause of much trouble. The chances
are that much harassing litigation may
grow out of it until the people are cor
rectly informed OF its requirements.
The true course now should be to
have deed recorded as soon as it is
signed and witnessed.

A New Small Pox Remedy.

A very high authority speaking of
small pox cases says: 81 am willing
to stake my reputation as a public
man if the worst cases of small pox
cannot be cured in three days simply
by cream of tartar. This is the sure
cure and never failing remedy: One
ounce of cream of tartar dissolved in
a pint of boiling water, to be drank
when cold, at intervals. 1t can be
taken at any time and is a preventa-
tive as well as curative. 1t is known
to have cured 100, 900 cases without a
failure. l have myself restored hun
dreds by this means. 1t never leaves
a mark, never causes blindness and
prevents tedious lingering"

s. p. SMITH, of Towanda, Pa,
whose constitution was completely
broken down, is cured by Ayers
Sarsaparilla. He writes:
"For eight years, 1 was, most of the
time, a great sufferer from constipa-
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges-
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. was
induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con-
dition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as clock-work. At the time
began taking Ayers Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 100 pounds; now can
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
good health. If You could see me be-
fore and after using, You would want
me for a travelling advertisement.

CARRYING LOADED PISTOLS.

Judge Sadler Of Cumberland county
thus addressed the constables in ref.
crence to carrying concealed weapons;
"You constables can do nothing
better than arresting men and young
men who carry loaded pistols in their
pockets ready to whip out on the
slightest provocation and perhaps
shoot perfectly innocent people. A
man has no constitutional or moral
right to carry concealed deadly weap-
ons on all occasions; and / say to you,
or not l be criticised, that if
you do your duty in arresting boys and
men carrying revolvers we will see
that no costs are imposed upon YOU"

SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT.-There
was meeting in Washington on We'd
nesday of the officers Of the Richmond
and Danvillc Railroad Company, at
which Mr.. Arthur, chief of the brother
hood of locomotive engineers, and Mr..
Wilkins, chief of the conductors asso-
citation, were present by invitation. 1t
was shown that owing to the falling off
of the business of the road it would be
necessary that reduction of 5 per
cent. per month on all salaries from
fifty to sixty-fve dollars, and on sala
ries over sixty-fve dollars per month Il
reduction of 10 per cent. be made-said
reductions to date from October LIST,
1898. 1t was also shown that this was
absolutely necessary and the employees
were assured that similar reduction
was made in the salaries of every Off
Ger of the road on the 1st of September
last. The new arrangement was per-
fectly agreeable to both Messrs. Arthur
and Wilkins, who expressed themselves
as being entirely satisfied that the road
was doing the best it could under the
circumstance. The officers of the road,
as well as the men, regret this action,
but it was forced by the dull times, and
the necessity for action of this kind
was realized as clearly by the EN-
ployes as by the officials.

THE DAMAGE TO THE RAILROADS.
Notwithstanding the severity of the
storm in this vicinity last night, the
railroads sustained but little damage.
The Midland, the Manassas and the w.
& o. branches of the r. & d. railroad
really sustained no material damage at
all, and the trains on those lines have
been running all day but little behind
time. The telegraph wires are down
between Manassas and Strasburg, but
it is not believed that the railroad be-
tween those points has been dam
aged. On the w. s., near Freestone,
about one mile of track was washed
away, but no bridges on that road were
much damaged. To-day the through
trains to and from the South on that
road were run via the c. & 0. and the
Midland roads, and the accommodation
trains were run only to Woodbridge.
The freight trains on the road were an-
nulled for to-day. A large force ofmen
is at work and the track will be re-
paired as soon as possible. The 11;39
train from Washington last night did
not reach this city till 2 o'clock this
morning, as the water between Fort
Runyon and the Long bridge was con,
siderably over the track.
