Grandmother and Grandchildren Plunge

WILKEsEARRE, Pa, Nov. IA frightful
drowning accident, resulting in the loss
of three lives, occurred yesterday after
noon at Old Forge, Il small village near

next instant the train hands saw her dis
appear over the edge Of the bridge into the
river twenty five feet below. Tho two
children clung to her dress and went over
with her. The recent heavy rains had
caused the river to rise, and there were
about six feet of water where they fell,
and q heavy current was on. When the
train hands reached the spot all three of
the bodies had been swept out Of sight, The
bodies were recovered.

Tie Method OF a Great Treatment for Vea' .

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when man is slowly wasting away With
nervous weakness, the mental forebodings
are ten times worse than the most severe
pain. There is no let up to the mental
suffering day or night. Sleep is almost
impossible and under such strain men
are scarcely responsible for what they do.
For years the writer rolled and tossed on
the troubled sea Of sexual weakness until
1t was question whether he had not bet
ter take u dose of poison and thus end all
his troubles. But prOvidcntial inspiration
came to his aid in the shape OF com.
binatiou of medicines that not only com.
pletely restored the general health, but
enlarged his weak, emaclated parts to
natural size and vigor and he now declares
thatany man who will take the trouble 10

l'NE SENATE ON MONEY.
Difficult to Estimate It's Standing
on the Question.
MAJOR M'KINLEY's GREAT VOTE.

His Plurality VIII Reach Over a Million.
The PIuraIities In the Different States as
Shown by Latest Reports-The Contest
in Kentucky.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-The noxt senate,
u is believed, will stand: Republicans. A;
Democrats 80; Populists and independ-
snts, l8 This tablo takes all states out OF
The doubtful column, placing Kentucky
and North Carolina In the Republican col
nmn, as Senator Butler said today that
free silver Republican probably would be
returned by the fuslonists; Delaware in
bhe Democratic column and Kansas and
Bouth Dakota in the independent and
Populist column. This will prevent tho
Republicans from taking control of the
senate unless some Of those who bolted
the Republican platform at St. Louis
should return.
1t is difficult to estimate the exact stand
Ing of the next senate on the money ques-
bion, owing to the new alignment of par
lies In the recent campaign. Men who have
been pronounced silver men havo been
supporting the Republican platform and
candidates, and pronounced gold men have
supported tbe Democratic platform and
candidates. Perkins of California, VOL
Dott of Colorado, Shoup of Idaho, Carter
Of Montana, Mitchell Of Oregon, Wilson
of Washington and Clark and Warren Of
Wyoming have all voted for and sup
ported silver legislation, and the course
they will take in the senate is altogether
problenatic
Among the Democrats, German Of
Maryland, Smith of New Jersey, Murphy
of New York, Faulkner of West Virginia
and Mitchell of Wisconsin, all have voted
for silver. and yet supported the Demo-
cratic party in this campaign. As no free
coinage bill possibly could pass the house
this fact would influence voting In the
senate on the silver question, especially In
the shape of rider to the tariff bill. Tho
probability is that on free coinage
amendment to tariff bill all of the forty
four Republicans would vote against 1t
and possibly some Democrats, such AS
Caffery of Louisiana, Gray of Delaware
and Lindsay Of Kentucky, who bolted tho
Chicago platform, and perhaps even some
Of those who supported Bryan during tho
campaign. 1t also Is not unlikely that
some Of tho Republican senators who
bolted The Republican platform might
take II position which would permit
tariff bill In which their constituents are
largely interested because of wool, lum-
ber and lead ores to become a law.
Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia,
said today that the silver men. by stand
ing solidly with the Democrats, could
prevent tariff legislation. Senator But
Ter, on the other hand, said that he and
other Populists would support the right
kind OF tariff bill, but not u measure
like the Mckinley bill. MIR. Butler wants
adequate protection ON raw material
