Broad street Mr.. William Noonan, the
father of the boys, was first seen. He was
asked If the young man who had died was
the one that Abbo had claimed to have
cured. Without making a reply he enter
ed another room and returning in COM
pany with a young man, asked, Does this
boy look as if he were dead?' The news
gatherer was compelled TO admit that he
did not.
wei. continued Mr. Noonan this is the
boy that Abbo cured and 1 ONLY RE-
GRET THAT HE DID NOT HAVE THE
TREATMENT IN TINE OF MY BOY
WHO NOW LIES DEAD"
Mr.. Noonan, who is a well-knOwn and
respected citizen of Savannah. having re-
sided here since 1860. then went into a de-
tailed account of the wonderful success
of Abbo in the treatment of his son Henry,
which he considered one Of the greatest
examples of medical skill that had ever
come under his notice. " We called Abbo
to our other son." said Mr. Noonan, but
unfortunately. NOT UNTIL AFTER THE
FEVER HAD BEEN ON HIM FOR So
DAYS AND WHEN HE WAS UNCON-
SCIOUS.
DR.. Abbo did not want to take the case
and only did so in answer to my pleadings.
He very frankly told us not to expect a
recovery as my son was too far gone. DR..
Abbo is a skilled physician and a perfect
gentleman. and If my wife or any of my
family were stricken down by disease
again / would send for him at once"

WORKED LIKE MAGIC.

Abbo took the case and in a short time
his wonderful medicines cured the disease
and made Miss Bostwick's speech perfect
ly free and distinct. Miss Bostw.ck was
also successfully treated for a disease of
the eye. which had resulted in semi-blind-
ness. Here again Abbo's medicine was put
to use and her eyesight was wonderfully
improved.
Thousands OF people are suffering with
bronchitis and other diseases and spend
ing large amounts of money every year
with but little or no return. Abbo makes
no charge for consultation. If your disease
can be cured his charge is very reasonable.
1t is within the reach of the poor and
therefore there is no reason why they
should suffer

big Sheets of Expanded Steel In
serted in the Concrete Base.
From the Chicago Tribune.


A novel experiment in street paving is
about to be made in South Park avenue.
between Sixty-third and Sixty-sixth
streets.
Some time ago an inventive genius pro-
duced what is called expanded steel"
This is simply a thin sheet of metal with
Sits cut in it and expanded lengthwise by
forcing these Sits into diamond-shaped
apertures. 1t was at first used only as a
substitute for lathing in the construction
of buildings, but now il is to become part
of new method of laying asphalt pave
ments. and will be given its first trial on
South Park avenue. 1t is proposed to have
steel sheets of one-half inch in thickness
cut into large-sized strips and then eX-
panded under powerful pressure. These
sheets will be inserted fiatWays in the
concrete base by first laying tour or five
inches of the stone and cement mixture
and then covering the entire surface with
steel and over this steel in turn will be
put the rest of the concrete. When part
ly dry the base will be compressed by ten
ton rollers and the concrete mixture fore
ed into the interStices in the steel sheets,
the whole. when solidly set, forming a
foundation which will not only afford a
much greater fredericksburg surface
than the old system of asphalt paving, but
furnish well an effectual barrier to the
picks and axes OF the NandalS.
Damage TO the top coating of an asphalt
pavement causes but small expense or an
noyance nowadays. Time was when re-
pairs to the top could only be made by
tearing up a good-sized section of the
pavement and relaying it entirely, and even
then the job was seldom satisfactorily
done. as 1t was almost impossible to get
an even surface on the patch.
Now, when the top coat needs fixing a
man comes along with an ingenious gaso-
line contrivance. something on the princi-
pie of a plumbers blow furnace except
that is is mounted on wheels. He shoves
IL along over the spot to be repaired and
the fierce heat. directed downward. quick
ly scftens the asphalt so it can be readily
smoothed over by the rolling machines or
hand weights, and an even surface Sc
cured.
1t is only when the base of founda ton
of the pavement is cut through or dis
turbed that trouble is now found in re-
placing an even surface, and this il is
expected, will be obviated by the use of
the combined steel and concrete base The
difficulty of cutting through the mass will
force the making of water. sewer and gas
connections before the pavement is laid
and where this is not done il will be
cheaper and easier TO tunnel under the
street from the sidwalk than to tear up
the pavement.

He had been stricken with typhoid-ma-
laria fever and after about thirty days
treatment by three Of SAVANNAH s
PROMINENT PHYSICIANS, ne lay al
most at deaths door. Finally Abbo was
called in and after a desperate struggle
with the grim disease that had been per
mitted to fasten its clutches tight about
the young mans life. succeeded in Danish
ing the disease and restoring Mr. NoOI
nan TO his former health
Like all men who are successful in life
and achieve praise by accomplishing
what others have failed in, AbbO has his
enemies. On last Sunday Mr.. Noonan had
the misfortune to lose a brother. The en-
emies of Abbo quickly spread the false re-
port that Mr.. Henry Noonan had died.
For the purpose of ascertaining the truth
a reporter called on Abbo, by whom he
was informed that ne best way to get at
the facts was to visit Mr.. NoOnan at his
home.

NOT SENSATIONAL STORIES.

The reported cures by Abbo are not SEN
sational stories. Many of them seem to be
of a miraculous nature and almost sur
pass belief, but no claims are made that
are not based on facts. No cures are re-
ported. but what are true. Names and ad-
dresses are given and responsible and res
pectable people viii be found there who
will cheerfuny attest and add to the claims
made by Abbo, the medical and surgical
specialist, whose cures are the subject of
so much talk.
The cases that are published are only
occasional ones out of the thousands that
have occurred. Owing to the delicacy of
afflicted persons to having their names
used. the most startling cures made by
Abbo with the aid of his powerful rene
dies are never made public. but enough
have been published to prove that Abbo's
methods Of curing disease are far ahead

MUNITIONS OF WAR
Are Said to Be Stored South of Jacksonville
Awaiting the Arrival of the
Steamer Laurada.

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 10.-Horatio
Rubens, attorney of the Cuban junta, is
still in the city, and there Is no doubt that
his presence and the rumors of Cuban
expedition soon to leave Florida waters
caused the Spanish officials stationed In
Florida much uneasiness, for already two
Spanish spies, or detectives, are here
keeping watch on the movements Of
prominent Cubans.
From good authority 1t Is learned that
arms and munitions of war have been
coming into the state for some time. and
are being stored at point south of jack
sonville. The general opinion Is that these
supplies are to be carried to sea on tug
boat and put on board the steamer Lau-
rada, which is now on her way south with
a Cuban expedition.
The presence of the revenue cutter
Boutwell, would seem to indicate that the
officials believe the expedition VIII leave
from this point,
The United States court officials and
the customs officials say that they know
nothing of any expedition to leave Flor
ida waters, but they are all on the alert.

DASHED TO DEATH.
Six Persons Killed and Sxty-Two Injured in
an Electric Car at lancas-
ter, Pa.

Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 10.-The disaster
on the Columbia and Donegal electric
railway, north of Columbia, at 1920 last
night is the worst that has occurred in
this county in many years. Up to the
present time Six persons are dead and
sixty-two injured, some very seriously,
and several are expected to die. The ac-
cident occurred on q heavy curve just
north OF the borough limits of Columbia.
The exact cause will probably never be
known, the motorman being dead and
the statement of the passengers differing
widely.
A large crowd gathered at Chichies'
park last evening to enjoy sacred con-
cert and escape the great heat. The ILL
fated car, a closed one, was the first to
leave the park after the concert, and was
packed In every part, both platforms
and aisles being crowded. The trip was
without incident until heavy grade just
north of Columbia was reached. The car
here attained great velocity, which the
motorman was unable to check. The
brakes refused to work, and the supposi-
ton Is that the brake rigging broke.
The passengers were thrown into
panic Several jumped from the flying
car, and others tried to do so as the last
curve was reached. Here the car left the
track, shot across the turnpike dis
tance of 100 yards, crashed into train,
and then tumbled into ditch 20 feet
deep.

HOT SHOT
Fired Into the City of Key West Causes Con-
siderable Excitement Shooting at Boats
for Not Passing Quarantine

Key West, Fla, Aug. 10.-A solid snot
from the United States steamer Mont
gomery caused considerable excitement
on North Beach, in this city, TO-DAY.
About Ii o'clock the people living in that
vicinity were startled by the report OF
a cannon, and on looking about discov-
cred that the shot had struck the fence
of Mr. Samuel Gates, directly opposite to
the front door of his residence. There
were several persons in the hallway at
the time, but luckily the direction OF the
shot was changed by striking the outer
edge of one of the fence pickets about 20
feet distant from the house. thus avoid
ing what might hav6 been serious conse-
quences. Mr.. Gates was considerably
wrought up over ths affai, and reported
1t to the commander of the naval station.
II is rumored that the shot was fired at
one of the sponging fleet about to leave
the harbor without having been passed
by quarantine officers. Trying to evade
the quarantine does not Justify an Amer
ican war vessel in firing solid shot into
a densely populated city and jeopardizing
the lives of its citizens.

gave a welcome to Mr.. Bryan that any
man might be proud Of. The crowd did
not number more than 500, but had plen-
ty of enthusiasm and gave 1t to him
without stint. Republicans with vigor-
our lungs attempted to get counter
demonstration in favor of Major McKin-
ley, and the Ohio candidates name punc-
tuated every cheer for Bryan. Mr.. Bry-
an made little speech, and it was well
received. 1 s. at-s=s 5.sa
The Inconvenience caused by the posi-
ton of his car became more marked at
each stopping place, SO at 'Bueyrus Mr..
Bryan went to the rear car, day coach,
and spoke from the rear platform. At
Crestline, the next stop, the Bryan car
was switched to the rear end of the train,
and the crowd was able to see and hear
him without danger of being pressed un-
der the wheels. Cresthne's welcome to
Mr. Bryan was noisy as the train came in
at 1890 a. m. A salute was fired from a
cannon, and a band was there to play.
Under the escort of Mr.. p. w. Poole, Mr..
Bryan was conveyed to a temporary
platform near the station. Mr.. Poole

Hopes to Distribute Postoffioes.

Upper SanCU5ky, o., Aug. lO-A1ler
passing Lafayette, where Mr.. Bryan was
roundly cheered by small crowd, the
train came to Ada. Here he made his
first speech of the day in response to the
cordiality with which he was greeted by
the large gathering there, nearly 1000 in
all. 1t was evident from the appe arance
of the vehicles about the station that
many of those in the audience had come
from some distance. The cheering for
Bryan was very hearty, and he and Mrs.
Bryan were subjected to a severe hand
shaking ordeal for several minutes. Peo-
pie pressed eagerly forward without re-
gard to the consequences. The car In
which Mr.. Bryan had his section was in
the middle of the train and as a result
the people were crowding closely against
the sides in a manner that might have
caused injury to the crowd If the train
had made quick start There were re-
newed cries of Speech from the audi
ence, and Mr.. Bryan, after shaking his
head several times, finally broke his reso-
luton in these words after an introduce
tion by Professor Lehr of the Ada Nor
NAL school:
Ladies and Gentlemen: While I have
not been speaking much on this trip, 1
cannot Withstand the tempta ton to say
a word, and the words so kindly spoken
by Professor Lehr. you will remember,

"He is one of the original Bryan men.
When was here year ago he was

wanted postoffices you would know where
to come to get them. am not distribut-
ing postoffices yet, but hope to be before
very long. (Cheers)

versity and 1 hope they will become stu
dents of the money question and be pre-
pared to take their part in this fight.

pie. A cry of horror went up from the
spectators, and the shrieks of those who
had been tumbled into the cellar beneath
the porch made things seem worse than
they were. Some of the women in the
crowd started to push their way out, and
their frantic eagerness to get away, add
"a - s.her causes of excitement, started
a mad, panicky rush. stand still; don't
mover cried Bryan and others on the
train, and their words brought the fright
ened people to themselves. 1t was found
that nobody had been hurt in the caVe-ln.
When this was told Bryan he remark
ed to the crowd, IF you would get on
our platform it would not fall down..
Laughter followed, of course, and the peo-
pie recovered enough from their fright
to cheer the nominee as the train moved
off.
In addition to the score of newspaper
correspondents who are on the Bryan
train Bryan is being accompanied to
New York by Thomas Gahan, national
C mitteeman from Illinois, Judge Will
liam Prentiss of Chicago and j. G. john
son, national committeeman from Ne
braska.
When Lima was reached at 7:45 Bryan
found big crowd waiting for him. The
people were packed in between the train
and station building in very narrow
space, and there was much pushing and
crowding in the endeavor of the majori-
ty of them to get near the nominee. The
demonstration was enthusiastic in the
extreme, there being 1900 people In the
assemblage and they spent the first few
minutes after Bryan came to the plat
form In cheering him. and then shook his
hand vigorously.
Mrs. Bryan made her first appearance
of the day, and stood by her husband's S
side. The people were SO busy shaking
hands that they forgot to ask for the
usual speech until. just as the train was
moving off, when in response to loud de-
mands to say something, Bryan said: L
am obliged to you for coming, and am
glad things are so different to what they
were a year ago." The usual stop at
Lima is five minutes, but the time the
train was held was seventeen minutes
to enable the crowd to pay their respects
to Mr. BRYAN.
