Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is cansed by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachiau Tube. When this
tube gets inilamcd you have n rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
IL is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out AMI this tube restored 70
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh: which is nothing
but an infiamcd condition of the mu.
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (clused by cat
arrh) that cannot he cured by Hall S
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Republican members of the House

Sheet bars, which some time since COM

In wire rods, which are quoted at S2l in
Plttsburg, the most interesting event is
the closing of conversion contracts cover
ing 5000 to 100 tons between Chicago

Heavy sales OF skelp, aggreganng $500

ment in plates and in structural material.
In finished iron and steel generally, the
situation IS somewhat different on the
Atlantic senboard. A little more money
is obtained for small lots for prompt de-
avery, but Tor round lots there has really
been no advance as yet. Local foundry
irons in Chicago and in the East are selling
quite well, and on the seaboard slight
advance is being obtained, in some in
stances with more hesitation to contract
for the future.
In cast iron pipe the only transaction of
consequence has been the purchase of
2, 200 tons by Syracuse. There Is quite a
lively demand for old iron rails, both for
home consumption and for export. The
metal markets have been quite excited.
Copper has been stimulated by sudden

He HUGGEO TWO WOMEN.
And Jacob SelgIer Had to Pay
Dearly for the "Fun."


A Lancaster Man Roams About the City
Embracing Strange Women, but is
Tripped up by an officer aud Promptly
Arrested Fined $50 by Judge Bah.
Jacob SeigIcr. travelling man, came to
Wilmington Wednesday from Lancaster,
Pa, and registered at the Delaware House.
About o'clock Wednesday night he was
seen by Officer Aiken huggng woman
at Sixth and Walnut streets. The woman
was seen to resist the man and break
away and run. The officer was some dis
lance away, but hasteued to the woman's
rescue. In q hurried inquiry the officer
learned that the man was a perfect
stranger to the woman, and she was terri
bly, frightened at the assault. The police.
man, as soon as he become satisfied that
his suspicious were correct, started after
the man, who had evidently beat hasty
retreat.
The offender was not to be seen any
where about, but short time atterward,
while Officer Aiken was still on the hunt
for Seigler, he saw him approach another
woman. on Market street IN front of the
Hotel Jennings. The officer saw the man
before he made this second attempt but
was not sure he was the right party but
lust as soon as be approached the lady the
officer, who was at his heels, arrested him
and calling the young lady, who had
started away, asked her to look ut the man
and see If she recognized him. She said
she did not, and, like the other woman,
hurried away thoroughly frightened.
The officer failed to get the names of
either of the ladies who were assaulted,
but his own evidence, which was given in
municipal court on Thursday, was con-
elusive, and Judge Ball promptly fined
Seigler $40 and costs, after severely scoring
the prisoner.
Seigler's only defence was that he was
underline influence of liquor. but he could
not have been very drunk, Judging from
his agility in eluding the officer after the
first assault.
Seigler is stranger in Wilmington, and
as he is not very well known here, no ex-
cuse can be offered for his ungentlemanly
conduct
