 Two bills before the railroad commit tee were explained by Hon. Lynde Harri son. No. 485 allows railroad companies to take land for approaches at over head or underneath crossings the same way they can for building the road also, the overhead bridges, where cross ing has been made after the railroad was built, shall be maintained by the towns-which was the law till two years ago, when all the expense was put on the railroads.
 ANOs AoO lllellNCo SlAefpbCA S1t OL LliS GO1l- eral statutes a portion of the charters of railway companies. It was supposed that the provisions in that chapter were as amendments to the charters; but recently three judges of the su- preme court Gin the case of the Bridge port grade crossing) held that when they did not agree the original charter rather than the general law should be held as binding. That there might be no misunderstanding this legislation was proposed.
 Another bill before the committee provides that when the tracks of one road cross those of another, trains shall be stopped within from 200 to 800 feet of the crossing unless otherwise ordered by the railroad commission CTS.

OFFICER AND SIXTY sIKHs At
Tackled ny CHITRALIs.
Former and Ferty-six of His Men,
with Eight Camp Followers,
MerciIcssIy Slaughtered.

CALCUTTA, March e2.-The situation of
affairs in Chitral has grown more serious.
Lieutenant Ross. of the Fourteenth Sikh
Regiment, has been attacked by the enemy
and Killed, with some of his men. Chitral
has been in a disturbed state ever since
early In January last, when Nizan u Mulk,
Mehtar of Chitral. was murdered by his
younger brother, Amir I'll Mulk, who estab-
lished himself as Mehtar. Fighting between
Umra, the Khan of Jandol. and the Chit
rails followed, and the latter were said to
have been defeated. A later dispatch, how
ever, declared that Umra was defeated.
On Feb. % 1t was announced that Umra
Khan was sending reinforcements to Drosh
Fort to meet al expected attack by the
Chitralis. and it was announced that Sher-
Afzul, uncle of the late Mehtar, escaped
from Cabul and Joined Umra Kahn at the
Drosh Fort. His attitude was said to be
uncertain, but Umra Kahn assured the
British political officer at Chitral, MIR. I'd
ney. that he had no intention of acting in
a manner hostile to the British. Amir IL
Mulk, the Mehtar of Chitral, is described
as a young man of weak character, with
little intelligence or experience.
To-day further details were received of
the lighting between the British force and
the Chitralis. Lieutenant Ross, with sixty
Sikhs. was on the way to reinforce the
British post at Reshun, near Karagh, when
he was unexpectedly attacked by a force
Of Chitra,is, who were protected by a
Dreastwork. The fire from the attackers
was SO hot that the British force was
compelled to retire. KS the soldiers with

who poured a murderous fire from all sides
into them: The British fought desperately
until most of them were killed, only four
teen of the skis succeeding in cutting
their way through. They left behind them
dead Lieutenant Ross, forty-six Sikhs and
eight follower of the column. A relief
column is being pushed forward to Reshun
as quickly as possible.

THREE MEN ASPHYXIATED.
Found Dead in a Freight Car on the
Sante Fee Road.

TRINIDAD, Col, March 22.-This morn
ing. section foreman Norman, on the Santa
Fe railroad, at Springer, ~. NJ, while in
specting cars, made the horrible discovery
of three dead men in a box car, standing on
the side track at that station. The men were
seen last night about the depot and carried
with them a common timers stove. 1t is
supposed that they took up quarters in the
car for the night and started a fire with
charcoal. The doors were closed and prob
ably the gas Suffocated them. When found,
the bodies were just becoming cold and had
been dead but a short time. On one was
found a letter. showing that the man had
relatives living at Maricopa. He had 81 in
money. On another body was found papers
which showed that the deceased's name
was James Murphy, but nothing more that
might establish Identification. The other
body had nothing whatever that would lead
to its identity. They were all fairly we'll

At this season, more emphatically than at any other,
we should build for the future.
When Nature gives vitality to field and wood, there
should be the harmony of renewed life and energy in our
physical systems.
But, ON the contrary, we find ourselves weak, dull,
tired. This is because in the winter we have been
housed-up in poorly ventilated offices, homes and shops,
our blood has become thin and impure, and is unequal to
the demand of the body for more life, more vigor, more
energy, more strength.
Nature imperatively cries for help!
Where is it to be found?
. Logically enough, in a good Spring Medicine, like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier.
This preparation has proven in many years of test
that it supplies the demand as nothing else can.

Spring Medicine

So easy to take and so readily assimilated, the purt
flying, vitalizing and enriching elements of Hoods Sar-
saparila-combined from natures own storehouse of
vegetable remedies for human ills, pass into the stomach
and are then silently but certainly taken up by the blood
and sent to every organ aud tissue of the body.
The effect is often magical.
The weakness is soon driven of, that tired feeling
disappears, the nerves are built up, the stomach resumes
its tasks even greedily, the appetite becomes as 8" sharp
as a milestone, y and the whole man feel Z" as made anew"
The wonderful cures of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, and
other dreadful diseases prove the great curative, blood
purifying powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
You undoubtedly need a good Spring Medicine.
Take Hoods Sarsaparila, the great blood purifier.

and Manuel Do~raminer-left their homes
in the Bad river reservation, two weeks
ago, they were given plenty of money to
take them to Carlisle, Pa. and provide for
their comfort and convenience on the way.
They arrived at Chicago about ten days
for them. They forgot while buying new
clothes and kid gloves that they had their
fares to pay. They wrote home for money:
it came, but was insufficient. They told
their story to President Healy, of the
County Board, who knew how to help them.
The young Indians were profuse in their
thanks, and expressed their intention to
leave the city at once to escape further
temptation.
