coming back for the rear half
The track was finally cleared and
the engineer had just started the
passenger train when, he saw the
station agent, frantically waving
his arms and pointing in the di-
rection Of the bridge. The engin-
eer leaned out of the cab window
and looked back. His consterna-
tion can better be imagined than
described, for on the bridge was a
runaway coal train, coming at a
high rate of speed. He instantly
turned and pulled the throttle wide
open and.turned on full head of
steam. The engine fairly trembl-
ed and plunged forward with rush
that lifted the passengers out of
their seats. Then the race for life
commenced. Around the bend and
past the depot the train shot, the
coal train fora time slightly gain
ed. The intervening space was
less than 100 feet NJ one time.
From the depot east is up grade,
and the engineer, with the assist
ance of the breakman finally sue
ceeded in getting control of the
train.
You need blood purifier. We
make this assertion with conf
dence, because it is a fact that there
is scarcely one person in ten thous-
and whose blood is free from hum.
ors, scrofula, acids, or some taint,
either hereditary or acquired.
Pimples, boils, blotches, eruptions,
are not the only indications, De-
bility, lack Of energy, depression of
spirits, loss of appetite, rheumatic
pains, poor sleep, headache, diz-
illness, specks floating before the
eyes, and many other symptoms
| plainly indicate the need of a
thorough cleansing Of the blood.
The longer you delay, the more diff
ficult will be to cure. The medi-
cine to take is Ayers Sarsaparilla,
and the time to begin is now. Con-
tinue to take it through March,
April and May, or until you feel
that health and strength are fully
restored, which will be when all
these painful and troublesome
symptoms are entirely removed.
The young, the old, the middle
aged alike need the potent but be-
nign influence Of Ayers Sarsapar-
lila, the best of blood medicine.

Seeking Good Investments

LONDON, July 27.-The Times this
morning has leader commenting on the
enormous increase Of private deposits in
the Bank OF England, and says: The SYM
dicates that formerly put money into for
eigD investment has kept It in hand.
Good authorities estimate that up to 1892
English capitalists were accustomed to
invest ESQ. 900, 900 yearly in America,
chiefly in railroad stocks. But for the un-
easiness induced by the Am erican none
tary system, undoubtedly it would be re-
invested in America, now that business
is perceptibly improving there. but the
defects of the system still remain and
these cautious persons will refrain until
they are remedied. The positive rush
both in England and Europe to lend mon
ey in China proves the desire for good in
Yestments.

NALLER'S COURT MARTIAL

Press Special Wire,

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The off cials
Of the state department are at present
Anxiously awaiting information from
Ambassador Eustis as to the manner in
which the second demand for the record
Of the Waller court martial which was
held in Tamatave has. been received in
France.
1t Is now learned definitely that the
French government refused to furnish tho
record on the first presentation OF the re-
quest and that this refusal was met on the
part Of the state department by more
positive and pressing demand for all the
papers. The department is informed by
Mr.. Eustis that this demand has been
presented. There has been quite suffi-
cient time for an answer, but none has
been received. The course OF the French
in their refusal to supply the record is
most unusual and as no explanation was
vouchsafed the department is at a loss to
know on what ground 1T Is based.
The supposition is gaining ground that
Frances s. refusal to furnish the record is
due to desire not to give publicity to
revelations made in the letters by Waller
which were intercepted by the French au-
thorities concerning the misconduct of
some OF the French soldiers. In letters
which have been received here from Wal
Ter within the last few days he reveals the
fBct that in his letters to his wife he in
formed her of various outrages committed
on the native women of Tamatave, and
gives such circumstantial account of these
proceedings as to reflect on the French
soldiery in Madagascar in a way which the
French authorities might not desire to see
published. There is good reason for be-
leivng that in ease of q second refusal by
France to supply the record third de-
mand will be made and more peremptory.
The state department authorities con-
slider the case as one of importance, be-
cause it is liable to develop some very
delicate and intricate questions before il
shall be finally disposed OF. 1t is known
that Secretary Gresham took this view of
it. and it is believed while he has not had
occasion to go into details to the extent
his predecessor did, Mr.. Olney feels that
it is q matter of gravity.

IRRIGATION DISTRICT BONDS
Their Validity to Be Determined by
q Suit
The Ownership Of $4,000 Acres Of Land In
Fresno and Kings Counties Is
Involved

SAN FRANCISCO. July 26.--A suit
which has for its object the abolshmeni
of the Sunset irrigation district will be
filed in the name Of Attorney General
Fitzgerald in the superior court Of Fresno
county within the next two or three days.
The Sunset irrigation district, compos-
ed OF Fresno and Kings counties, IS the
largest in the state. according to acreage
and one OF the most important from fin
ancial point of view.
The litigation will decide the validity of
bonds issued to pay for certain improve
ments which. it is alleged, have been con i.
tracted for but have not been made ac-
cording to plans and specifications. It is
also asserted in the complaint that the
original articles of incorporation are
fraudulent. that representations OF resi-
dence and citizen ship were made without
authority in law and that the very basis
OF organization was conceived and exc
cuted in fraud.
In support OF the petition the plaintiffs
cite the granting of an injunction against
the tax collector of Fresno county to
prevent the collection by law of assess
ments against land to pay interest on
certain bonds issued by order of the board
of trustees, a body which the COMPLAINT

out authority. at the last meeting of the
board OF trustees of the district all con-
tracts which had not been ratified were
rescinded and all obligations entered in
to were declared void for the Same reasons
that are set forth in the petition.
The matter of this suit is one that in
wolves the ownership of more land than
any other irrigation district organized
under the Wright law. The territory of
the district embraces 318. 900 acres and
covers a large portion of the counties of
Fresno and Kings. The complaint. as
signed tby the attorney-gsneral, goes on
to say: A0 1e th-8 81 - "'
1t is further shown by profile map OF
the district that a large portion OF the
land lane is impossible OF irrigation by any
cations. because it lies higher than any
point from which water is to be drawn.
The attorneys in the case are John w.

started to berate him. He told her to
stop. whercupon she began calling him
vile names and ended by drawing the
revolver and putting it up close against
