pANIo AT CIRCUS PARADE.

Ono Person Fatally Injured and Over
 Twenty Badly Hurt in Paterson--A Pair
 of Horses Became Frightened at the
 Elephants and Dashed Madly Through
 the Crowd
 Paterson May 5,--One person was fa- tally injured and score or more bad ly hurt in q panic caused by a runa- way team on Main street shortly after Il o'clock this morning, Barnum Bailey's circus is showing here to-day, and Main street for its entire length was thronged with spectators to see the street parade. The crowd between Market and Smith streets was partic- ularly dense.
 When the parade had almost passed that point a team attached to a wagon loaded with two tons of coal became frightened at the elephants and dash ed madly up the curb.
 Before the driver could get control of his horses the horses were upon the sidewalk and running wildly through the crowd.
 Men, women and children ran in all directions and in the panic many were crushed to the ground.
 The driver of the team was tossed headlong from his seat and fell between the horses. Cool-headed citizens grab bed his arms and dragged him to place of safety before the wheels of the wagon passed over him.
 One of the first to be struck by the team was Edward Schultz, aged eleV- en years, who lives at No. 26 Cross street
 The horses trampled on him and the | wheels of the heavily laden truck pass ed over his breast HeFwas taken to St. Josephs hospital, where the physicians say that he will die.
 Olga Olsen, girl aged sixteen years, was knocked over by the horses and the wagon passed over her right arm and leg, badly crushing them. Her Ia ther, in endeavoring to save her. was struck and badly bruised by the wag- on They were removed to the office of Dr. Park, in front of which the ac- cident occurred, and which for an hour was turned into temporary hospital Later they were taken to their home at No. " Clinton street.
 The horses ran for fifty feet along the sidewalk, when they were stopped by the wagon striking q fire hydrant In the short but wild dash at least | twenty-five persons were injured, some seriously. Most of those hurt hurried away from the scene of the accident with their friends and no complete rec- ord of the injured could be gathered by the police.
 The driver of the wagon was arrest ed He gave his name and address as William H. Schafaner of No. 20 Close street. The team is owned by White & Hopper, coal dealers. Eye witnesses to | the accident said that Schafaner was l blameless and he was released.

 We know the misery that is caused by stomach troubles, for both my wife and I have been so afflicted with suffering of the worst sort that there seemed no longer any hope of health or comfort. In fact, my wife's life was despaired of, and I was about to give up active employment.
 Mrs. Gale for number of years a victim of dyspepsia, which grew more and more severe until she was completely pros trated. She was sent into the country by N her doctor, but when she returned she could not stand up without support. For long time she unable to eat solid food, and even on diet of prepared mi lk she was un- able to gain strength or escape. suff fering. We sought the best advice could obtain, but the result was failure in every case. "
 When we first tried Puritana were without other hope and as far as my wife KY was concerned, I did not believe that she would ever recover. After few weeks there was a marked change and from that time her improvement grew more rapid from day to day. The stomach trouble dis appeared and her whole system was brought into a healthy condi tion.
 Mrs. Gale belongs to the Daughters of Rebekah and other Charlestown societies, and when she could attend the meetings, and also eat her share of the daintieS, it was a great surprise to the ladies who had known of her inf firmity. For the first time in years she found that she could eat piece of New England pie, and now her stomach digests any food.

The effect of Pufitana in my case has been only less wonderful than in the case of my wife. have received greater benefits from it than from all other medi- cines and the doctors put together, and recommend it in the highest terms to my friends.

paper about carly post Offices, post
routes, stages and early means of COM
munication in this part of New England
Up to 1850 there were no settlements
on the Connecticut rivernorth ofCharles
town, or on the Merrimac above Sails
bury, but all the country was wilder
ness, neutral ground between the English
settlements and the French in Canada.
But it was generally understood that far
up the great river were extensive mead
ows ready for the plow, and fertile up
lands waiting to be cleared and settled
In 1861 actual possession of HaverhilI
and Newbury was taken, and in the next
year settlements began in earnest on
both sides of the river. The locality was
called Coos" or "The Lower Coos"
and was called so by the older people

In a very few years the new colony
had attained large degree prosperity
and before the Revolutionary war began
had good society, a church, schools,
courts, lawyers, physicians, and plenty
of stirring, ambitious men. 1t had the
beginning of an academy, and few are

Gold and Silver.

Nearly everyone by this time has
been told or has read of some special
reasons why silver in the battle Of
the standards permanently reach
no better place, as compared to gold,
than secondary or subsidiary rela-
ton. Everyone can understand why
a lighter thing OF any kind, if 1t
proves as efficient and seaviceable as
a heavier article Of the same Orol a
different material, will ultimately
win most favor. The principle holds
true in the rating that gold and sill
yer get in the esteem of the world
1t is question OF ease and conve-
nience, OF favor and dislayor, of like
and dislike, that underlies the sepa-
ration of the value of silver from
gold; and economical methods in
silver production, enforced purchases
by government beyond a reasonable
or normal demand, have widened
the breach.
The stamp OF the government i'm
parts no value to gold. 1t is a sim
pie guarantee OF its weight and fine
ness. A metal, then, which the
world inStinctively feels has value in
itself, for better or for worse, most
nearly approaches stability, must,
in the nature of things, in the eternal
fitness of things, be the material
OF which the world can best make a
a measure of value. Having once es-
tablished a unit of value in a metal
which the world, from centuries of
experience, deems a survival of the
fittest," how idle all this talk about
a double standard really seems. As
II we could have a fourtcen-ounce
pound side by side with a sixteen.
ounce pound as a measure Of weight,
or ten-inch foot keeping time to a
twelve-inch foot as a measure of
length, or three pecks to a bushel,
when four pecks are demanded by an
unchallenged law and custom. The
thing is absurd, as all will say, on
the face of it.
