fore, cross the railroad. In doing 90 the
horse SHE'D, and Mr.. Wilson wns thrown
across tho track 30 violently that he was
stunned.
Old Rover, owned by Mr. John VII
son, bailiff, was making one of his moo
turnal perambulations through tho town
about o'clock-no doubt doing duty as
night watchman. Crossing the track, he
noticed the unfortunate individual and
Immediately set out to alarm Mr.. G. A.
Nolan, who resides in the nearest house
to the track. Here he bnrkcd and wf1ined
until Mrs. Nolan arose TO chase him
away, hut he only returned to continue
his howlngs. Mr.. Nolan then conceived
the idea that something might probably
be wrong about tho mill, rs Rover ofton

was we'll acquainted with the premises
He Immediately dressed, went outside
and found the dog ready 10 lead toward
the mill. Their why led ACROSS tho track,
but when they got that far Rovcr's
course was directed up the track to
where the unconscious man lay. When
Mr.. Nelan arrived on the scene, he raw
the cause Of the dogs trouble and took
the unfortunate man to his house, where
with good care and proper attention, he
revived. In half an hour freight train

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder Has All the HonorS
In Strength aud Value 30 Per Cent
Above the Nearest Competitor.

In Strength aud Value go Per Cent
Above the Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly ombined-whereve ex-
hibited in competition with others.
The result at the Chicago Worlds Fair
is no exception. In the exhibitions of
former years, at the Centennial, at
Paris, Vienna and at the various State
and Industrial fairs, where il has been
exhibited, judges have invariably
awarded the Royal Baking Powder the
highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist of the Agricultural Depart
menI at Washington. The chief chem
lists official report of the tests of the
baking powders, which was made for
the specific purpose Of ascertaining
which was the best, shows the hhven-
ing strength of the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
highest in strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average of
Ill. The Royal, therefore, was found
of 20 per cent greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and Al per cent above the average of
all the other tests. It's superiority in
other respects, however, in the quality
of the food it makes as TO fineness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the
country FOR so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex-
coed the sale of all other baking pow
ders combined.

Bad Wreck on the Lehigh.

A freight train on the Lehigh valley
railroad became separated on a down
grade entering White Haven, Pa. The
engineer did not notice the break and
the work of stopping the rear half fell
to flagman and a brakeman. The
former had TO leave his post and was
hard at work when an engine dashed
into the rear at the rate of 35 miles an
hour. The engine ploughed its way
through the caboose and four of the
cars ahead, landing in the principal
street of the town, which runs parallel
with the railroad. The stove in the
caboose set fire TO the wreck, and the
flames communicated TO the dwelling
houses along the street. A livery
stable, grocery and a hotel We're
destroyed with a loss of 500, 600. Tie
Lchigh's loss is $4,000.
The flagman aud brakeman disap-
peared and it was feared that they
were buried in the wreck and burned
to death, but their bodies were not
found.
