TESTS of the audible block signal.
were made recently which proved the
apparatus to be superior to anything
yet invented for preventing collisions,
derailments by open switches or from
broken rails. 1T was shown that the
system will ring bell and give timely
alarm to the engineer of a moving
train when approaching a standing or
moving ear or locomotive on the same
track, and of an occupied grade cross
ing, an open switehor draw bridge or a
ear projecting from a. side track over

A RECENT ca blegram to the Boston
Herald said that Queen Victoria was
passing again through one of those
phases of semi-inSanity which recalls
that she is George Ills granddaugh-
ter. The attack seems to have had its
origin in the death of young nephew
of John Brown. who had some obscure
post about Balmoral, but for whom the
queen burst forth Ia. vehement
mourning which took all by surprise.
Since then she has been going TO his
grave and to Browns in all weAtherS,
and doing other extraordinary thugs.

DR., LINDE, the inventor of the re-
frigerating system bearing his name,
has devised an apparatus hardly more
complicated than refrigerating ma
chine, whereby liquid air can be pro-
duced on a commercial scale. The
process is still in its infancy, and it's
commercial value has still to be de-
termined, but it is worth nothing as a
brilliant discovery.

THE Paris Figaro in an article on the
dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela says: THE Venezuela dis
pute is worth watching owing to the
close proximity of the British and

hatred of the Americans toward the
old country is appalling

THE STORY CONTINUED.
Democrats Garry Virginia and Mississippi.
Returns from Other States.
nrMOrp rrC AVAILABILITY


A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.
JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 6-From re-
ports received it is estimated that the
democratic majority will be from 49,
600 to $4,000. The populists did not re-
ceive more than Is per cent. of the to-
tai vote cast. The campaign just
closed was on free silver as against the
gold standard, and the result is COM
plete victory for the free silverites.
IN NEBRASKA.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 6.-Returns from
various portions of Nebraska show
that Norval. republican, for supreme
court, is elected by large majority,
and republican gains on all sides. One
of the surprises developed by late re-
turns is the great strength of Maxwell,
populist candidate for supreme judge.
His vote is next to Norvars and is al
most double that of both the demo-
cratic candidates for the same position.
The vote for the two democratic candi-
dates is very small. Broatch, A. p A.. ,
is elected by 800 over Brown, citizens,
for mayor.
REPUBLICANS AHEAD.
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The republicans
carried the election by pluralities of
about 30, coo on the entire ticket. Ball
(rep.), for judge of the superior court,
has defeated Morrison, his democratic
competitor, by 80, 500. The republicans
elected five of the trustees for the $780,
600, 900 drainage canal. All the repub-
lican candidates were about 10000
ahead of the democrats.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM A CONGRESSMAN.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 6.-The scat
tering returns received up to midnight
do not differ materially from those re-
ceived last year when the repu blicans
carried the state by 1000. The dem
ocrats claim the election of Roberts to
congress, with even chances on gov
ernor, but give no figures to support
the claim.
RESULT IN VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 6.-The detailed
returns. so far as received, show that
the new senate will contain "a demo-
Gratis and 6 anti-democrats, and the
house about so democrats and 20 anti
democrats. Reports from Woodstock
indicate the defeat of Walton dem
for the state senate.
PINGREE ELECTED.
DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 6.-Detroit has
elected the entire republican ticket
and added two aldermen to the repub-
lican majority in the common council.

ance of the city ticket by ], 800 and up

It is no doubt interesting to express
the force of a stroke of lightning IN
horse power. During a recent storm
which passed over Klausthal, Ger
many, bolt struck a wooden column
in dwelling and in the top of this
column were two wire nails five-thirty-
seconds of an inch in diameter. The
electric fluid melted the two nails in
stantly. To melt iron in this short
time would be impossible in the largest
furnace now in existence and it could
only be accomplished with the aid of
electricity, but a current of 200 am
peres and potential of 10000 volts
would be necessary. This electric
force for one second represents 5000
horse power, but as the lightning az
complished the melting in consider.
ably less time, say one-tenth of a Sec
ond, it follows that the bolt was of
SO, 900 horse power.-Barmer Zeitung.
PersIa's Small Navy.
Persia does not occupy a very promi-
nent position among the naval powers
of the world. In fact, it will be news
to most people that she possesses a.
navy at all. She has, however, a feet,
which consists of one solitary ship,
called the Persepolis, and is now lying
at anchor in the port of Bombay,
proudly flying the flag of the shah.
For many years the Persepolis was a.
tramp steamer famed for the extraordi-
nary number of mishaps which it had
encountered. But since the Persian
government has acquired it and fitted
it with guns and with a ram, which
being only insecurity fixed to its bow,
has knack of slipping it's mornings
and diving downward, it has become a
very powerful and magnificent man
of-war-that is to say, in the eyes Of
patriotic Persians. -N Y Tribune.

There are seven million pores in the ordinary sized man, which act as sewers in cleansing the system of impurities. When they become clogged, pcrspira- ton ceases or is less than nor maj in quantity. Cold weather restricts the amount of perspira- tion, and in natures struggle to free the system of waste matter the Kidneys become ovcrworked. Buker's Kidney Pills counteract the effects of overwork, prevent disease, and cure the Backacf1e incidental to Kidney troubles. When the back aches, try the pills. Druggists sell them for SO cents.
