TWENTT-FIVE KILLED
In "A Frightful Railroad Collision in south
Carolina.


THE express train from New York to
Florida on the Richmond & Danville rail
road was in collision with another passen-
ger train last week Wednesday. One of
the sleepers of the first train, which was
filled with people, was struck in the center
and crushed like an egg-shel. The day
coaches were overturned and nearly every
person in them was more or less injured
But II was in the sleeper that the slaughter
occurred This car bore the brunt of disas-
ter and presented CHASTITY spectacle.
Pressed against the broken fragments of the
car were almost shapeless masses with life
and identity crushed out. Scattered about
were others in whom the life still remained
and whose piteous cries were heartrending.
The work of aiding the wounded was
quickly begun. Many OF the victims were
SO hemmed in the debris that it required
much time to free them from their impris-
onment. The killed number twenty-five.
The scene Of the accident was forty-fve
miles from Columbia.

The PUZZLE SoLvED.-Perhaps no local
disease has puzzled and baffled the medical
profession more than nasal catarrh. While
not Immediately fatal it is among the most
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh is heir
to, and the records show very few or no
cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh by
any of the many modes of treatment until
the introduction of Ely's Cream Balm few
years ago. The success of this preparation
has been most gratifying and surprising.
