Deafness Cannot BE Cured.

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
one way to cure DEAFNESS, and that is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this TUBE Is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound OF I'M
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely
closed deafness IS the result. and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition hearing will
be destroyed forever: nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but
an infamed condition OF the mucous sur.
faces.
We Will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh ICure.

putting on his overcost upset large oil
lamp and in less time than 1T takes to tell
1t the entire interior was In flames. Mr..
Pray ran to the door and called to bis as
sistant, Chauncey j. Preston, who lives
with his wife and two children at 145
West sven ne, to come out.
Preston refused to do so and started
putting the stock In the safe. He man
aged to get some in and close the safe
door before he was overcome by the
smoke and flames.
BY that time the shop was raging fur
mace and Mr.. Pray, at the risk of his own
life, smashed the side window and, rush.

out.

the face, neck and hands, The skin peeling

Washington. oct. 2S-Some of the mem
hers of the Georgia colony here are pre-
dieting that Gov. Atkinson may carry off
the senatorial prize.
t. B. Lane of Georgia, who has just ar
rived here from the exposition, after COM
mending the wonderful enterprise dis
nlaved by his people, proceeded to dis
cuss the political situation at home.
Keep your eye on Gov Atkinson,
men of the south. He has fully recovered
from his recent illness and is now
coming to the front in the SEN
atorial race. He is one OF the hnest
est players IN the oi game has
produced since the war. There is going

a senator to succeed Gen. Gordon ana II 5
going TO be a contest that Will shake up
the state from the mountains to,the, sea.
Hoke Smith will be in ii, so Will ex-
Speaker Crisp and so will Gov. Atkinson.

chance forever when he declined the APP

without his followers in the legl sIds
There are other aspirants, too, put at
the last l surmise that the race VIII mar

Atkinson. When the latter hrst conceiV-
ed the idea of running for governor, the
whole state seemed committed to the
candidacy of Gen. Evans, one OF the
b~aSrest and best men that ever
fought for the confederacy. Everybody
marveled at Mr.. Atkinson's nerve IN a. a.

With sucb a desperate illness that the
doctors despaired of his life and the press

AN A.P.A. DEAL IN POLITICS.
TiIIman and Evans Parties 10 the
Scheme

Charleston. S. c., Oct. 23-As the time
for the municipal election approaches 1t
begins to look more ana more as if the A.
F. A. is going to get its wedge in and split
the Democratic party into pieces. A con-
siderable number of democrats have al
ready announced that they will take no
part in the coming democratic primary,
and several Of the candidates for the may
orally have announced their unwillingness
to go into the primary.
1t now seems that Gov. Evans and Sen
ator Tillman are to take a hand in the
fight and to come to the rescue of the A.
+. A. The Evening Post of this city this
afternoon is authority for the statement
that very prominent citizen of Charles
ton, who is in close touch with the state
government, and in fact is looked upon
almost as their representative here, has
been to Columbia in the last few days in
close conference with Gov. Evans on this
subject That the result has been a thor
Ough understanding that all the influence
Evans shall be used for the
purpose of preventing the democrats of
this city from going into a primary, so
as 10 make IL as small as possible and 70
encourage the independent faction as
much as possible. Then when the pri-
mary is over a ticket is TO be nominated
against the primary nominees with as
strong an element favorable to the pres
ent state government as it is thought can
be successfully carried. All the influence
which Senator Tillman and Gov Evans
possess is to be used in favor of such a
ticket In consideration of this. it is
added, the parties here, benefited by such
aid, are 10 use their utmost influence &c
secure the votes Of the Charleston delega-
ton in the next legislature in favor OF
Gov. Evans for United States senator as
opposed to Senator Irby. 1t is assumed
that no conservative can be elected anC
that the race will be between Senator
Irby and Gov. Evans, In which case it is
supposed that the conservatives will have
to chose between the two. The deal Il
therefore made in order to influence the
! Charleston votes in the legislature fol

From the Philadelphia, Record.
Medford. Mass, Oct 2o.-By the side
of her second husbands grave in Oak
Grove cemetery. last night, the former
wife of Lawyer John H. jackson, whom
she long believed to be dead, was re-
married to Mr.. Jackson. carriage
containing FIVE persons drove into the
cemetery, and all the occupants got out
Two were women, three men. Two of
the men wore high hats and were fash
ionably dressed. The other was clergy
man. 49, ~
The women wore heavy, long cloaks,
concealing their dresses. The party ap-
preached a grave, and one of the womn,
who wore a GainsbOrough hat and one
of the men clasped hands over a small
mound. The minister then approached
and, uncovering his head, took out a
small volume and read the marriage GER
emony.
When the bride lifted her hand she dis
closed the fact that she wore white
wedding garments under her heavy black
cloak a ring was passed across the
grave. A smile on the face of the bride
betoken how happy she was at the re-
union.
Twenty-six years ago, Lawyer Jack
son mysteriously disappeared, and the
people of Medford didn't know what had
become of him. When he had been gone
seven years and was legally dead his wife
married again, but has since become a
widow. Recently he came back from the
west and met his wife, who he thought
was dead. The old love revived, and the
result was the sombre ceremony of last
evening.
