RUPTURE

Cannot always be cured. but a
properly fitting Truss will do
more toward curing you than any
thing else. A small rupture is
more dangerous than a large one
but is more readily held in place.
Quite number Of persons who
have been fitted by US have been
entirely cured, but this is not al
ways the case. The sooner we
have them visit us after finding
they are ruptured the more hope
of a complete cure. We make a
specially of Trusses for both
ladies and gentlemen, and give di-
rections for private meas urement
for the former. Al, cases consid-
cred strictly pyfVafe. Buying
Trusses by mail from some person
who says he can cure you is on a
parallel with the number Of cures
there are for consumption. If you
have had trouble in being fitted
elsewhere let us try what we can
do TOR Won

Oil Notes.


Petroleum has been discovered in Brook
lyn Susquehanna county. The Standard
Oil Company is leasing all the land possible
and will proceed to put down wells at
olce.
1t is claimed that French experts have
discovered how to solidify petroleum. The
substance after undergoing tie process,
is in general appearance between beeswax
and tallow. It is yellowish white; oderless
and tasteless and burns like candle The
expense of converting oil into a solid state
is said to be very small. The discovery
was made less than a month ago. and the
secret of the process is said to be on its
way to this country and will be submitted
to New York Oil company.
Grandin d Kelly are engaged upon an
interesting experiment in Forest county.
The are drilling one of their old wells, on
the Cook lands, along the Tionesta, in the
Baltimore field, to depths unknown to the
average oil operator. The we'll is now
down 1000 feet. No sand Of any kind has
been encountered since depth of $500
feet was reached when they went through
the Genessee shale. They are now drilling
in the Maccellus shale and expect to find
the corniferous limestone at 4, 200 feet If
nothing is developed the well will be drill
ed to depth of 5000 feet, before they
stop. At 300 feet down, the temperature
of the bottom of the hole was 100 degrees

handed down the opinions in three Butler
/ county cases as follows:
Roth vs. Marshall ct al, affirmed.
WahI VS. p. d W. r. R. Co.. reversed.
Linden Steel Co. VS. Rough Run Mfg. Co.,
affirmed.

/ only reversal handed down. The decision
/ of the Court below was in favor of Wahl,

property in Evaus City. The Supreme
| Court reverses this decision and orders a
new trial with instructions as to the ruling
of the Court.
In the case of Or. r. 5. Sutton against
B. W. Morgan, an action growing out of
the purchase by DR. Sutton of the Morgan
farm in Beaver county, the supreme court
sets the sale aside and directs that Capt
Morgan refunds the $500 paid on the
property. Dr. Sutton paid $4,000 for the
land on the representation that railroad
shops were to be removed to the vicinity
and that there was an active demand for
lots The supreme court says Morgan
knew these rumors to be false. He made
them to secure a purchaser and accom-
plished his purpose, but it is against equi-

FRIGHTFUL TUNNEL CRASH.
TWO PASSENGER TRAINS CRASH
TOGETHER HEAD TO.

Nothing Could Be Learned of the
Actual Loss OF Life at 2 O'Clock
This Atternoon-Bodies of Passengers
Crushed Beyond Recognition.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-A frightful acci
dent occurred to day on the Great
Western Railway, in tunnel near
Bath.
An express train from Bristol to Lon
don was derailed while going at terrific
speed. The carsbumped along the ties but
as the doors .of English railway coaches
are always locked it was impossible for
the passengers to jump.
Suddenly the sound Of an approaching
train was heard. 1t was a passenger
train bound for Bristol and running at
terrific speed. It's driver saw the OBJ
struction on the tracks, but before he
could even slacken up it dashed into the
derailed coaches.
The hiss and roar Of escaping steam
mingled with the shrieks Of the injured
and the groans Of the dying.
1t was impossible to see any distance
and this made more hideous the awful
calamity. AS soon as possible informa-
tion Of the disaster was sent to Bath
and wrecking train with number Of
physicians on board was hurried to the
scene
Upon its arrival at the tunnel the
work Of removing the dead and caring
for the injured was begun.
The number Of killed is unknown, but
is large. Some of the bodies were
crushed and mangled beyond recogni-
tion.
Many Of the passengers were thrown
against the side Of the tunnel where
their bodies were crushed into jelly by
the tremendous weight of the engine and
coaches
Many of those rescued alive are fatally
injured. The physicians administered
opiates TO some of the injured to..reliev'
them Of their agony.
Two or three men with limbs crushed
and frightfully scalded begged th'
doctors piteously to kill them.
Among the dead are several twomeI
and children. The accident is one O
the worst that has happened in England
in many years.
