A SMALL EARTHQUAKE.
Fortunately as Far as Known No Serious
Injury Resulted.

Yesterday morning about eight o'clock
terrific explosion frightened the resi-
dents of State ST. near Shermon st. For
some days past there has been a strong
odor of escaping gas in that vicinity. and
the residents have tried to find out
whether the gas was in their cellars or
their neighbor's. Saturday morning one
gentleman lighted match lin his cellar
and as he approached the street wall a
slight explosion occurred just outside
the building but no damage was done.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Austin D..
Sullivan who lives at the corner of State
and Sherman streets went into his cellar
and lighted match. AS he passed the
match along the wall sudden explosion,
evidently in the street ontside, occurred,
shaking the ground so that it trembled
like leaf; houses rocked and crockery
was broken and a mass of ice and snow
on the roof of a house, situated at least
two hundred feet away, was dislodged
and fell into the street with tremendous
crash. Mr.. Sullivan was not hurt, nor
any ono else as far as we know.

but the latter appeared in court with

fence. Perron claimed to have the HON

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIN.
Something Peculiar to Say
the Least.
An Event Which Has Puzzled the
Doctors Not a Little.
The Occurrence Has Created Great
Deal of Comment.

The following remarkable account we
have from the mans own lips.
Mr.. Amos R.Darter is we'll known in
indianapolis, Ind, living at 225 West
Chesapeake st. He says: !.
'sTen years ago pain came in my Left
foot and went all over me. I had such
severe pain in my head that could get
no rest, day or night, 1 called doctor;
he said had rheumatism. but he could
not relieve me.
s'Then went to taking patent medi-
cines and bought everything would see
advertised for rheumatism, but all failed
to give me any relief, Then I called in
the doctors; had five good ones treat me,
but all failed to relieve me. was taken
down and suffered intense pain. My
flesh got so sore that could not bear my
clothes to touch me. My left side got
numb from my foot to my head. I
would feel d lingering in my side; in la
second would fall prostrated.
II could not sleep night or day only
when Under the influence Of morphine.
could not walk one square without
resting. | would have to set my cane
out first and step with my right foot and
then drag the left foot up.
gave up all hopes of getting well
and quit taking any medicine except
morphine. ] would roll all night in bed
and get up as tired in the morning as if l
had worked all night.
Eat last [ found cure in Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. The
first two bottles drove all the pain out Of
my head. I took six bottles more.
Now can walk and | am free from
pain. / thank God that / found this
wonderful remedy. Ii anyone will call
at my home will tell all about my cure.'
We venture the prediction that no suf-
ferer from pain, whether of the head or
elsewhere in the system, who reads
about this remarkable cure, will delay
getting this wonderful medicine from
the drug store. 1t certainly cures
rheumatism, headache, backache, in fact
all kinds of pains. Mr.. Darter's marvel
Gus cure by it after many doctors failed
even to afford relief, is proof Of this, and
he may be seen or written to about his
cure.
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is purely vegetable and perfectly
harmless, and is recommended by the
doctors as the best remedy to take. 1t
is, in fact, the prescription and discovery
of physician, DIR. Greene, "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, the noted special
ist in curing all forms of nervous and
chronic diseases. He can be consulted
free, personally or by letter.
If you are suffering pain or ache .ot
feel badly use tn s remedy at once. 1t
will cure you.

with the Aid of Its Grandmother lit I'm
dertakes to Save the House of the Bro
gan Family by Conducting Case in
Court.
The proceedings in Judge Gould's
Court were enlivened yesterday morning
by the playful gatherings of an infant
that showed thorough contempt for
the august court. This infant was the
young scion of the house of Brogan,-
John J. Brogan's house. The Brogan
family were in great tribulation. Last
week the liquor deputies entered MI.
Brogan's house at No. 120 Monument
street, and there found a jug of whiskey
in the coal bin under an empty lard
barrel3 Mrs. Brogan, the deputies say,
admitted that they had been selling
liquor at her house, but declared that
they had stopped some time before.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Brogan, who is
a good-looking woman, and Mr.. Brogan.
who is a young man, were brought into
court charged with being sellers of
liquor. The baby and the baby's grand
mother came along to do their. best to
save the family from the impending
trouble. The baby's part consisted in
kicking its heels together and shouting
':goo,"' "goos to the court. The grand
mother adopted different method.
She went on to the stand and testified
that she was a hard working woman who
had never been in court before and was
shure ''she never wanted to be in one
again." who went to her work at six
o'clock every morning and did not get
home until or p. M, and who found
the need occasionally of a "drap" OF
something warming, especially this cold
weather. So she sent to Boston for the
liquor herself and kept in her part of the
house, because her daughter, Mrs. Bro
gan, was ''death on liquor
John j. Brogan, who had spurned the
the suggestion that he needed any lawyer
to extricate him from completely in his
mother-in-law' liquor, testified that he
knew nothing about the jug, that he
worked as 'longshoreman, and that he
never sold rum.
''Any other witnesses on your side?''
said the judge, after Brogan had told his
story. l
Eyes, your honor, the ladies of the
house hold, replied Brogan.
Then it was that the grandmother
was summoned to the stand to tell her
story.
Unfortunately the Judge shut his
heart against the Establishments of the
baby and the story of the grandmother
He fined Mr.. Brogan 500 and costs, in
default of which he would have to go to
jail. Mrs. Brogan, however, was let off,
perhaps on account of the baby and the
grandmother after all.
