TORTURED THIRTY YEARS.
His Sufferings Ended After Using
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure.

Mr.. George Smith, of Tacony, Pa,
says: II suffered from rheumatim for
thirty years, and had so many severe at
tacks that some of my joints were
twisted out Of shape. At times / suf-
fered terrible pain, and, although
tried many remedies, never obtained
any permanent relief until 1 procured
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure. The ac-
ton of this remedy was wonderfully
quick, and, although have only taken
small quantity, consider myself per-
manently cured"
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is guar
anteed to cure rheumatism in any part
of the body. Acute or muscular rheu-
matism cured in from one to five days
1t never fails to cure sharp, shooting
pains in the arms, legs, sides, back or
breast, or soreness in any part of the
body in from one to three hours. It is
guaranteed to promptly cure lameness,
stiff and swollen points, stiff back, and all
pains in the hips and loins. Chronic
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago, or pain
in the back are speedily cured.
Munyon's Homeopathic Home Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 2E

Robert Wright, of Allentown, who
was the next speaker, said that by the

lows Recently Hastings and his
spell-binders addressed a meeting in
this city do not propose to follow the
Republicans in their folly, but when
they charge the present administration
under Grover Cleveland with the re-
sponsibility for the present condition
of commercial affairs they were utter
ing falsehood. The Republican party
and their unwise legislation were re-
sponsible, so far as such things could
bring about the depression in trade,
Whenever the Republicans had the
power in the lower branch of congress,
the public money went to the winds,
and brought the government to the
verge of bankruptcy, their huge sur
plus was menace to commerce and the
government was too rich. The people
cried to Grover Cleveland, For Gods
sake call together the Democratic con-
gress to correct the damning results
from Republican government Could
any man deny that since the passing of
the Wilson bill there was n ray of hope?
Would any man be so blind but that he
could see that hewas better off since the
bill was passed? And it is all owing to
the application of sound business prin-
ciples in the administration of the
country, What do the people of Penn
sylvania want?. Hastings had been
travelling with a long face and doleful
voice preaching that people were starv-
ing, but the people could see that they
are much better off now than they were
year ago, under the Mckinley bill"

County Commissioners Have Been SO In.
formed by Detective Barring, Who Has
Investigated the Natter
Information was received yesterday
by the county commissioners that Gre
scenza Merola, the murderer of Eman-
uel Loro, Of Old Forge, had been located
at his old home in Southern Italy. The
news arrived from the United States
consul at Italy through Detectives Bar
rings agency, but no detailed accounts
have been disclosed as to the locality
In southern Italy in which Merola is
now held.
The murder was one of the most
brutal on record. On Sunday, June II,
the deceased, Emanuel Loro, an italian
barber, requested payment of Is cents
from Merola, in discharge of a debt
when the murderer without any pro.
vocation or cause, fired a revolver al
Loro, who begged that his life should
be spared, when four more shots were
firedinto his head and the villain walked
unconcernedly away. Although o
large crowd of their countrymen were
assembled, no effort was made by then
to hinder him in his escape.
Sheriff Fahey and Detective Shea
made every effort to track the mur
derer, and later the county commission
ers offered reward of $500 for his ar
rest
The international treaty between thu
United States and Italy does not pro
vide for extradition in cases similar t
the present, so that 1t will be necessary
to forward certified copies Of the evi
dence to Italy, where Merola will b'

BIG HOLE In LEE COURT.
Affected the Surface-But Little Done
TO BuiIdlnps

Affected the Surface-But Little Done
to Buildings.
A cave which may assume serious
proportions in one of the most densely
populated sections of the city has oc-
CURED on Lee court, between Adams
and Washington avenues and Vine and
Olive streets.
The earth has already fallen to a
depth Of sixteen feet in the passage
way between the two frame dwellings,
514 and SIG Lee court. The surface area
of the hole is about six feet spare and
the fall carried away portion Of the
foundation wall of No. SIG, and shows
Il yawning hole in the cellar. In the
cellar of No. 51S, the adjoining north
ernly house, fissure of several inches
In width has appeared.
The cave-in happened at Il o'clock
Wednesday morning and the 16-foot
hole between Nos. 5l4 and SIG has gradu-
ALLY grown larger since that hour.
The houses have not been tipped from
an upright position, but this may hap
pen If the hole continues to grow
larger.
All of yesterday numerous sightseers
thronged about the vicinity The occu-
pants of the house are somewhat
alarmed, but have not moved out. Pre-
parations were being made yesterday
by the property owners to flush the
hole with culm and dirt. The houses
affected overlook the new high school
lot, at the corner of Vine street and
Washington avenue. In fact, the dis
turbed area boarders the high school
lot on the east.
Less than two months ago was COM
pleted the work of flushing the work
ings of the Pine Brook shaft, which eX-
tended beneath the high school lot.
Previously and during the flushing OPP
erations, that particular section con-
tanned several cracks and assures, but
it was hoped that the engineering oper-
ations would make the surface secure
The cracks at that time so disturbed
the houses In the vicinity that it was
necessary to repaper the walls and
to adjust doors and windows so they
could be opened and closed.
