A SEVERE WINTER.
The Cause of Suffering and An In
crease of Diseases.

This winter has been the most Sc
we're for many years. North, South,
East and West intense cold and biz
CARDS have prevailed. This will sure
ly III a great deal of sickness and
death. Chronic catarrh and consump-
ton always begins by catching cold.
Thousands , have started on the road
toward a lifetime of misery from
chronic catarrh or a sure death from
consumption. II is not too late yet to
be saved and restored to a life of
health and activity. Pe-ru-na will do
it. 1t never fails to quickly cure
chronic catarrh less than two years
old. Of course Pe-ru-na cures thous-
ands and thousands of cases of chronic
catarrh that have run for many years,
but in cases that are of more recent
origin it cures, quickly, certainly and
permanently. Every cas of cold or
cough that has resulted from the eff
fects of our severe winter could now
be cured in a short time by Pe-ru-na.
Not a single one need fail.
All those taking Pe-ru-na who de-
sire the advice of DIR. Hartman about
their cases should write, giving age,
sex, disease and time of sickness, and
he will answer free. A few weeks
treatment now will prevent years of
suffering, and in many cases death.
Address the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufac-
turing Company, Columbus, Ohio, for
a free book on catarrh, colds, cough,
la grippe and consumption.
For free book ON lancer address DIR.

At Stony Creek.

Stony Creek, Dec. 19.-It is probable that the difficulty which has arisen be- tween the Red Hill Granite company and the summer residents who occupy the various islands in the group off this place called the Thimbles will be settled shortly in a manner agreeable to all concerned. The difficulty grew out of the purchase of the Island View property by the Red Hill company, The summer hotel known as the Island View house was converted into quarry buildings and for the last four years several hundred Italian and other la Iborers have worked and lived there. This caused a depreciation in the val ue of the adjoining property and some of the summer residents closed up their places and went elsewhere to spend their summers. Last summer the own CTS of Waylands Cut-in-TWO, Govern or's and other islands determined to buy out the Red Hill Granite company and erect cottages or reconstruct the old hotel and have it opened next season again for the accommodation of guests. The Red Hill company was not adverse to selling for a fair price, but would not part with their plant until assured that they could obtain another equally as good. Now it is understood they have concluded to sell out and buy 8 tract of land near the Shore Line tracks.

Heavy Liquidations for Foreign Account

Heavy LiQuidations for Foreign Account
 Was the Feature.
 New York, Dec. 19.-The feature of the trading of the stock exchange to- day was the heavy liquidatlons for for eign account. London cables received here before the opening showed ma terlal declines in our stock and this was followed by selling orders of large proportions in Louisville and Nashville St. Paul and other American share lister abroad. This foreign selling led to sales by local operators and the re- suG was a drop from F to 5% per cent. in prices. Rumors of heavy gold ex- ports by Saturdays European steamers were put afioat and this added to the depression. It was said al one time that the exports on the day named would reach $10,O00,0 900, but this is an exagger- alton and good authorities do not look for shipments of anything like the amount named
 Up to the close of business only $500,- O0O had been engaged. It is known however, that arrangements are being made for the export of about $4,000,000 of the metal and that this will be an- ncunced tomorrow. I'm the break in prices which followed the early London selling Consolidated Gas, Cleveland, To- rain and Wheeling preferred, Pullman Palace, Jersey Central, Baltimore and Ohio, and the southwesterns were most conspicuous. The Vanderbilts were also lower, notwithstanding the declaration of the usual dividends on New York Central Laske Shore, Michigan Central and Canada Southern
 Tn the afternoon steadier tone characterized the market. the delay in the senate on the matter of the Vene- 2uelan commission having been favor ably interpreted. London houses chang ed front and bought a little stock, and this had a stimulating effect on prices which recovered 1 0315 per cent. Mon ey was a little more active, and late in the day rose to 5 per cent. The ad- vance, however, had no influence on stocks which left off steady to firm in tone. Net changes show losses of 1B to 28s per cent in the active railways and 1G5 per cent. in the specialties.
 The bond market was active and heavy in sympathy with the weakness of stocks, The sales were $2, 141,OOO.

HE SroDD4RD LECTURES.

Nr stoddnrd Gives the Third in His Course
 In rhi- city This scuson-SubIsot 'Na-
 pulcon."
 Another large and cultivated audience at the Hyperion last evening listened with delight and deep interest to the third Of the Sloddard lectures Last nights lecture was upon Napoleon and the audience accompanied NIr. stoddard in his vivid word portrayal of the ladtng features of the life of the great NapoIeou of his career as war rIoE iinancisr and statesman, MT. Stod- dard making use of the most recent side lights thrown upon Napoleou's life and character, his domestic life, his generous traJmeut of relatives and friends, in fact his uubounded generosi- ty even to enemies. The lecture, while historical, was ever most interesting and enjoyable, made 50 by the speakers rare gifts for entertaining his au- diences, All the great events of Naroleon's wonderful career were sketched in epitome, from childhood in Corsica to the young lieutenant who suppressed the revolution that drained to the drsgs the blood royal of France. to the general in Italy and in Egypt, ln' plrinE meath the shadows of the py- ramfds, audacious mid the dreary snow fields of Russia, An insight was furn- lshed of the practical economy observed in the restoration of order, the singu- lar capacity for work in all the depart ments of the government; and the mes- merle effect of the one mind over all the allied powers of Europe, trained to rule by heritage, Napoleon was the domi- hating feature of the great tragedy whose stage was Europe, and most gracefully and graphically he was DOT trayed in all the phases from the time riot ruled Paris to the last sad scene in lone St. Helena. The lecture was in teresting in detaille particullere and thrilling as romance. The views add ed interest, accuracy and picturesque power to the recital, Portraits of the great figures of the troubled times peer ed out from the canvas and then van ished in the growing light; the rush of battle came in lurid colors, then the majestic calm of the chiseled marble grew on the scene, while the glories of the palaces and the severity of Elbe and St, Helena passed in turn upon the vision. The pictorial object lesson was in all points impressive and satisfy ing.

Robbed.

Middletown, Dec. 19.-George A. Coles, president of the Middletown Savings bank and a prominent merchant of this city, was robbed of his grip in the Grand Central depot in New York this afternoon. He went down stairs to the lunch room in the station to get a lunch while waiting for his train, and laid his grip down on bench in the waiting room. When he went to look for it the grip was gone. It contained some valuable papers among other things. MT Coles notified the police.
