(From the Binghamton IN. " Republican,

NHfOHe VIC 1'tfytIHttOH Wv. htpuOttCuH.J
We have heard so much talk throughout the
county of late concerning Mrs. Martha Gates
OF Maine, Broome County. n. Y, that yester-
day reporter of the BiRghdmton Republican
interviewed her for publication, and her story,
which will interest all women, is as follows:
81 was born in Hartford Cortland County,
New York, AZ years ago. / have been married
81 years and am the mother of eight children.
About two years ago l was afflicted with
troubles incidental to my sex and suffered ago
nizing pain. The trouble continued to grow
worst, until last winter was compelled to take
to my bed. called in regular physician, but
his treatment did not seem to do me much
good, and only relieved ME for a little time,
after which my condition became worse than
before. l was confined to my bed for three
months and was absolutely unable to attend
TO my household duties. l could hardly feed
myself so weak had l become. l had to be
waited upon day and night, ana was physi-
cal wreck. There were very grave doubts about
my ulti mate recovery. The best hope the doc
tor could hold out to me was that | might be
able to get around again and attend TO my
household duties after remaining in bed q few
months longer. But instead OF getting better
read in the paper about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and decided to give them
trial. Immediately after taking them, and
before had used half a box, saw marked
change for the better in my condition All
this time, however, l was confined to my bed
continued taking the medicine until 1 had
taken four boxes and by that time was able
to be about and around again. The improve
ment has been steady ever since. am still a
little weak. but am growing stronger as fast as
nature, aided by DR.. Williams Pink Pills, will
let me. 1 have great faith in these pills. and
shall use them hereafter My husband, who
felt real miserable all the spring, took them
and they made new man of him. l have also
used them for my daughter, aged 10 years,
who has found them very beneficial for trou-
bles incidental to her sex. So far as 1 am my
sell concerned, consider 1T wonderful cure"
Mrs. Gates has lived in North Maine for many
years. and is highly respected. Any state
Inent she makes is cheerfully aequiesced in by
her friends and acquaintance.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the ele-
ments necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be

laced down. The falls were unlocked and
all the parts stopped into the davit. A
very poor condition to have boats in going

were in a proper condition for lowering,

died. No effort was made to save the ship. If
there had been canvas it could have been set.
There are ways and means OF setting sail in
any weather. l think the captain and his Off
GERS were incompetent. AS an old sailor say
positively that sail could have been set on that
ship.
Was not the jfb set. and did it not blow out
of the bolt ropes?
No. sir.
Robert Forsythe, chief engineer of the
Union Iron Works, was the next witness.
He testified as follows:
I superintend the repairing OF ships at the
Union Iron Works. About 1887 the Colima
had new boilers put in, and other repairs were
made. While the boilers were out the frame
work under them was almost entirely repaired.
Was the cement cleared out?
Yes, sir, and replaced, and the steaming ma
chinery got general oyerhauling and a great
deal of the piping was renewed. The decks
were repaired and some alterations on the
pleted she was equal to a new vessel. A vessel
needs continual repairs, however, but the Co.
lima was good for fourteen or fifteen years.
How thick was the cement in the bottom of
the ship?

Boiler Inspector Phillips Smarts
Under a Criticism and Calls
for Proof.

There was quite a little scene in the
rooms of the Inspectors of Hulls and
Boilers yesterday before the Colima in
curry was taken up. Inspector of Boilers
Phillips was angry and he showed it.
After the first witness had been sworn he
arose and said:
Before this inquiry begins would like
to say few words in relation to some of
these gentlemen here who report for the
public press.
81 see by the Chronicle that that paper
assails me and insinuates that l am not
disposed to get at the bottom facts of this
case, or rather that am disposed to work
in the interests of the Pacific Mail.
whoever wrote this article, or whoever
instigated the writing of it, has done an in
jury to me that he cannot repair. These
insinuations or innuendoes that he has
thrown out will not be passed by slightly.
My character is worth more to me than
life. 1t is the only thing that 1 have to
. depend upon, and do not propose to have
it assailed in this manner. The article
refer to is this:
Ward McAllister is attending 10 the inquiry
attorney for the Pacific Mail STEAMSHIP Com
pany. He refrains from asking questions, how
ever, as Inspector Phillips displays noticeable
anxiety to get on record all the facts possible.

reads that | try to get all the facts possible
on record, but the balance OF this sentence,
Which can put the company in better light,

We kept picking men up until we had seven or

others on some Wreekage and started to drift
down to them. When we got within twenty
yards of them heavy struck US and we

O. BR|EN WAS WARL|KE,
Judge Campbell'S Clerk Causes
a Sensation in His
Court.
He Makes an Assault on a Reporter
and Stops Several Hard
Punches.

Thomas e. O'Brien, clerk OF Police
Court /. narrowly escaped fine for con-
tempt of court at the hands of Judge Camp
bell yesterday. As it was he got decidedly
the worst of it in an assault upon L. L.
Levings, reporter for a morning paper,
and will, in all probability, be called upon
to explain his actions to the court this
morning.
1t all happened during the height of a
trial, about 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
O'Brien was at his desk and the court
room was crowded, when Levings walked
in and took up position near the railing
around the clerks desk. He had been
there but a few moments when OBrien
caught sight of him and Immediately gave
vent to his surcharged feelings.
Court, counsel, stenographer and wit
nesses all dropped the case in hand to
listen to the uncomplimentary remarks
O'Brien insisted on pouring out on the
head of Levings. The court was sim ply
paralyzed at the outburst, and only recov-
cred from his surprise when the object OF
O'Brien's wrath asked permission to ex-
press himself
"Let up, Tom" expostulated his Honor
don't you see you're making fool of the
COURT
And O'Brien turned to his desk mum
bling, only to break out in a few moments
with a loudly voiced desire to punch
Levings' head.
'If you fellows have anything to settle
go outside and do it," exclaimed his
Honor. "This is no place for it."
OBrien bottled his wrath at this and
matters cooled down enough to allow the
court to give some attention to the case in
hand. 1t became perfectly calm, but ii
proved only to be that calm which pre-
cedes storm. Ten minutes later O'Brien
grabbed his hat and left the room. A few
minutes afterward Levings dropped into
the warrant clerks office, which opens
from the courtroom, and met O'Brien face
to face.
With an oath the latter rushed at him
to be met with highlander on the nose
from Levings, who planted two more blows
on the clerks face before bystanders
rushed in.
There was rush to close the door be-
tween the warrant clerks office and the
courtroom, but too late to keep from his
Honor the fact that a row was in progress
He was too busy on the bench, however, to
interfere, but his bailiff rushed to the scene
of the encounter at once and separated the
combatants.
O'Brien had blood on his face and a
rising lump under his left eye as he left the
City Hall. His antagonist got off un.
Scathed.
