GALWAY

A disastrous fire occurred on Tuesday,
April 2, at Tuam. The fire started about
8 o'clock in the morning, in the premises
of Mr.. Michael P. Hasty, in the square,
and in the course of a couple of hours the
whole block of buildings, the property
in fee simple of Mr. Hasty, consisting of
three shops, grocery, spirit, hardware,
flour, and bread and confectionery,
was entirely consumed, notwithstanding
the efforts Of the police and the people
to arrest the conflagration. The fire orig
mated in the grocery and confectionery
shop while one of the shop assistants was
filling lamps, with parafin oil for even
ing USE Some Of the oil was accident
ally split, and was set ablaze by the I'M
accountable ignition of match. A
barrel Of paraffin convenient took fire
and then number Of barrels of whisky
chink of the entire premises. There was
which, with a terrific burst, sent the
flames through every window, door and
no fire hose in the town to use in con-
nection with the water works, and water
was scarce. Guys Hotel, adjoining the
burnt buildings, narrowly escaped demol-
ition, but not without loss to the proprie-
tor, and for some time all Tuam was in
imminent peril of destruction. It was,
however, saved by the timely arrival
of engines from Galway. The Hasty
family, who were at breakfast at the
time of the outbreak Of the fire, had a
very narrow escape, one lady having
been rescued by Mr.. Hasty, Jr., at con-
siderable risk. Mr.. Hasty's loss is set
down at $4,000.
At the first meeting of the Tuam new
Board of Guardians, on April 8, Messrs.
John Nolan, Farrell Mcdonnell and Bar
tholomew Canavan were unanimously
reelected chairman, vice-chairman and
DEPUTY vice-chairman respectively.
Messrs. Nolan and Caravan are Nation
alists. Two of the outgoing Guardians
Messrs David Flannery and Patrick
Whelan, (Redmondites), are succeeded
by Nationalist, Messrs. John Connolly,
merchant, Tuam, and Timothy Daily,
Monivea. Six Redmonites have been
nominated for as many divisions, and
were defeated by Nationalist.
Within the past few weeks three of the
evicted Clanricarde tenants have been
restored to their holdings on satisfactory
terms.

ANEW GSCOVERYby the SHAKERS

Fore more than a hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied the
cultivation of medicinal plants and sought
to extract from them their healing es-
sences. Their labor has not been spent in
vain. They have made discovery that
viii prove a blessing TO mankind. 1t con-
sists of a cordial that causes immediate re-
lief in cases of indigestion. The impor-
lance Of this discovery will be apparent
when we realize that nearly nine-tenths
of all our sufferings are caused by dyspep-
STA or Indigestion. Nearly every person
you meet has this digestive trouble in
some of its varied forms-sick headache,
distress after eating, pain and fullness IN
the chest after eating, palpitation OF the
heart, etc, are but symptoms OF lndlges-
ton. To relieve these sufferings has
been the study of the Shakers, and they
have succeeded. The reason the Shaker
Digestive Cordial has such an immediate
and salutary effect Is that II causes food
eaten TO be digested, for IL Is undigested
food that causes the distress. The cor
dial causes the food to be digested before
there is time for II to ferment and sour on
the stomach. When the food Is so digested
II gives strength and Vigor to the feeble
body, makes one feel bright and cheerful,
and makes one gain IN flesh.
The Digestive Cordial Is so prompt IN
its action that the very FIRST dose will have
q perceptibly favorable result. II gives
immediate relief
In order to prove this statement. small
trial bottles placed IN the druggists
hands can be- obtained for ten cents each.
This trial bottle VIII have a decided bene-
fetal effect and VIII satisfy any one that
the cordial is adapted 10 his case. After
trial give praise 10 the Shakers Of
Mount Lebanon. y. y.

Wherein q Common Cold is Worse
Than the Contagious We Dread.
A man once over typhoid or scarlet fever
has the consolation OF knowing that the
chances are against recurrence OF the
attack It's different with the common
nuisance we call catching cold; one hit OF
coughing, smiling and sneezing is no guar
antee against another. one may have in
definite colds unless he takes proper pre-
cautions. and each attack leaves him a
little weaker than he was before.
What then. Is the safeguard against
cold at this fickle and treacherous time

ply: Dufy's Pure Malt whiskey Why?
Because II warns and strengthens. 1t re-

get hold, than horse with dull shoes

FIREMAN APPLEBAUM HURT.
Thrown From the Assistant Chiefs
Gig.

Thrown From the Assistant Chiefs
Gig.
Fireman Sam Applebaum was badly hurt
yesterday morning at o'clock by being
thrown out of the assistant chiefs gig at
the corner of Broughton and Drayton
streets. As soon as the alarm from the
Lower rice mill came in Fireman Apple
baum started with the gig for the home
of Assistant Chief Mcguire. AS he turned
into Broughton street one wheel of the gig
caught in the street car track, causing
the vehicle to careen suddenly He was
thrown out, caught under the gig and
dragged some distance.
The horse ran away and was after
wards captured on the Thunderbolt road
Applebaum was taken to the Office Of
DR. Dunn, who dressed his wounds. One
shoulder was dislocated and he was badly
bruised about the chest and shoulders.
1t is believed that one of his ribs is frac-
tured. He was taken to the St Joseph's
Infirmary. He is suffering considerable
pain, but his injuries are not considered
dangerous.
The street car tracks are a constant
source of danger TO the fremen The
wheels of the vehicles, even the engines.
are liable to be caught against the rail-
road tracks in such a manner as to bring
the vehicle to a sudden stop and when
the vehicles are going at full speed the
effect is to hurl the men from their places.
The experienced drivers always fight shW

spnrrows Trained to Fight.
From the Washington Posi-.

From the Washington Post.
That John Chinaman somewhere from
some source inherited considerable sport
ing blood, though he may not cut much
of a shine himself in a street brawl with
urchins and sandlotters, is pretty gener-
ally known. That he has a wholesome re-
spect for American justice is also famil-
lar fact. Cock fighting is prohibited, dog
fighting likewise. So, in order to have
just as much fun as he would at a cock
or a dog fight, John has made experiments
with cock sparrows, and the results is
said completely to fill the measure of his
happiness. The fighting sparrows are
trained on the same principles as game
cocks; their wings are clipped and their
spurs fitted to gaffs as keen as the point
Of a needle. They can soon be trained to
make as good fighters as two Spanish
rooster and those who have witnessed
an exhibition of this sort declare that next
to a rat-killing no Chinaman will admit
that anything can surpass in interest a
cooking main between two educated spar
rows

ANOTHER ABE SMALL CAUGHT.
A Savannah SpOtter Sent TO See II
He Is the Right One.

He Is the Right One.
Chief Of Police McDermott dispatched
man to Weldon, n. c., yesterday for the
purpose of finding out If the man arrested
there a day or two ago as Abe Small is
really the Abe Small wanted in Savannah
The man sent is a negro spotter, who IS
well acquainted with Small
Chief McDermOtt received a telegram
from Weldon yesterday morning giving
a full description of the man under ar
rest. The description telegraphed is a
very good one of Abe Small, the only point
on which the description fails to tally with
that held by the police here being the
teeth.
Chief McDermott decided that the only
satisfactory way to settle the point was
70 send a man there who knows Small.
He is not very sanguine that the man
under arrest is Small, but he feels that
II would never do to let him escape II
the right man has been arrested He
has discovered, however, that Small is
well acquainted in North Carolina having
spent some time IN that state before
coming to Savannah, and having return
ed there since the murder Of Policeman
Neve. This makes it appear more prob
able that the man under arrest at Weldon
may be Small. If he is not, Search for
Small will be prosecuted in North Caro-

An elephant pushing a long line of

messed by a party of visitors to the win

Fisher, trainer of Rajah, the big elephant
which the circus carries as the feature of

moving heavy wagons, and while so en-
gagged a workman from the elevator, near
the winter quarters, complained that he
could not get q switch engine to move
empty boy cars to the elevator.
I'll move them for you with Rajah,"
said Fisher.
He was not quite sure that the big ele-
plant could move the long line of thir-
ty-two box cars on the Santa F'e railway
resolved to have try. The brakes We're
released, this elephant put hia head
against the end car. and after a few mo-
ments, the line began to move slowly. The
track was perfectly level. and soon the
cars had rolled down to the elevator.
