A SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
A Scene OF Wild Confusion and Excitement
A Narrow Escape.


BROOKLYN, Jan. 2e.-There was q
singular accident and a scene of great
excitement at East New York at $3.50
o'clock last night. Trolley car No. lat
of the FultOn-street line was the prime
cause of the trouble. The trolley pole
became entangled with the overhead
wire in ne manner, and "a shower of
sparks rained down on the roof of the
car, setting it afire. This was along
side the Alabama-avenue car house,
and within the car house was stationed
battery. A portion of the sixty
ninth is also stationed there as q guard
to the battery. Some of the militia
men attempted to pull the trolley pole
down and got shocked. Others who
jumped on the platform of the car
jumped off again and declared the car
was alive with electricity.
While this was going on some one
rang FIRE alarm and a couple of fire
engines dashed up. Just as the mem
bers of the battery ran out of the car
house, the engines, emitting showers
of sparks from their tunnels and drop
ping glowing embers on the street,
were driven straight at the four Gals.
sons belonging to the battery. IL
these were stored 1000 pounds of pow.
der, besides fuses, caps and shell.
The men of Wendell's battery ran,
yelling like Indians at the firemen and
ordering them 10 stop. One of the
engines was stopped less than six feet
from caisson. Showers of sparks
fell all around. The horses were
seized by the militiamen, and engine,
horses aud all were dragged away in q
hurry.
The excitement was over in five min
utes, but it was intense while it lasted.
The caissons were similar to the one
which blew up in Chicago during the
great railroad strike. The fire on the
trolley car was extinguished before
much damage was done. 1t is rumored
that the seventh regiment and the six
ty-ninth battalion and possibly the
seventh-first regiment are to be or
dered home to-day.

ACUTE DYSPEPSIA.
Sympathetic Heart Disease Often
Attends It.
The Modern Treatment Consists In Re-
moving the Cause.

(FroEI the Republican, Cedar Rapids. Lolra.)
Mrs. v. Curley, who has resided In Clar-
ence, Iowa, for the past twenty-five years,
tells an interesting story of what she con-
siders rescue from premature death. Her
narrative is as follows
"For ten years prior to 1891 was con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble.
had all the manifold symptoms of acute
dyspepsia, and at times other troubles were
present in complication-I did not know
what it was TO enjoy meal. No matter
how careful l might be as to the quality,
quantity and preparation of my food, dis
tress always followed eating. 1 was de-
spondeut and blue. Almost to the point Of
insanity at times, and would have been glad
70 die. Often and often I could not sleep.
Sympathetic heart trouble set in, and time
and again was obliged TO call doctor in
the night to relieve sudden attacks of suffo-
cation which would come on without
moments warning.
My troubles increased as time wore on,
and l spent large sums in doctor bills,
being compelled to have medical attendants
almost constantly. During 1892 and 1923 it
was impossible for me to retain food, and
water brashes plagued me. Twas reduced
to a skeleton. A consultation of physicians
was unable to determine just what did all
me. The doctors gave us as their opinion
that the probable trouble was liberation of
the coats of the stomach, and held out no
hope of recovery. One doctor said: 'tAll I
can do TO relieve your suffering is by the use
of opium.
About this time a friend of mine, Mrs.
Samantha Smith, of Giidden, Iowa, told
me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of Ok
ford Junction, Iowa. This lady said she
had been afflicted much the same as 1 had.
She had consulted local physicians without
relief, and had gone TO Davenport for treat
ment. Giving up all hope Of recovery, she
was persuaded by a friend to take DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. The result was al
most magical.

THERE is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For O great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing TO cure with local treatment,
pronounced itincurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by T. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to n tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood az.

one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

HOW MADE $1,000

By not sowing Salzer's seeds! That is
what jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum. How is that? Why,
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had l
planted few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me 81, 200. It is fact that if you
want big, rousing farm, grass and vege-
table crops, you must SOW Salzer's seeds.
