Is largely interested in timber lands in
Greenblier county, w. Va. Mr.. Mil
ler's attention was first called to the
subject of pure drinking water by the
frightful ravages Of typhoid fever both
in the country and city. AS all the
leading medical authorities agreed that
impure water was the cause of the
spread of this disease he set about
remedying the difficulty. His still con-
denses water from the surplus heat of
the kitchen range, and will furnish an
amply supply. He believes that the
adoption of his device will drive such
scourges as typhoid fever from the

mending Chamberlain's Pain Balm for
rheumatism, as know from personal
experience that it will do all that is
claimed for it. A year ago this spring
my brother was laid up in bed with in
flammatory rheumatism and suffered
intensely. The first application of
Chamberlain Pain Balm eased the
pain and the use of one bottle COM

A horse, hitched to buggy, became
frightened at two dogs fighting on Main

knocking it down. Mr.. Walter Flesh
man, of Frankfort, who was in the
buggy, was thrown out and slightly hurt
on the head. The horse was blind, and
our " devil" says, that when the dogs
commenced fighting the horse thought
1t was free silver argument and lit

good indeed, many of them handsome
and very appropriate and becoming
The Hall was crowded, everything
passed off pleasantly and all were
pleased. The proceeds, which will go
into the treasury of the Society, were
$500. We heartily congratulate the

FOR FAST RUNNING.
Traction Company Defendant In a
$4,000 Damage Suit Resulting from
the Death of a 4.Year.Old Child.

Yesterday afternoon. in civil court.
was begun the damage suit of Allan
Lawrence. leader of I.awrences band,
against the Scranton Traction COM
pany. Mr.. Lawrence is asking $4,000
for the death of his four year-old son
who was killed by u Suburban car,
April 4. 1885
The boy, MERIT Lawrence. on the
afternoon of the day in question, start
ed from his home on Adams avenue
near Olive street, to so to EVerettS $
store to buy II penny's worth of candy.
He rode on the rear of market wag
on as far as the store and then jumped
off and ran directly i'm front of Il Subur
ban car, which was going in the same
direction as the wagon. and which was
only about rod behind 1t. The mo-
torman saw the boy run from behind
the wagon and dash across the tracks
but could not stop the car in time to
prevent him from being struck.
The little fellow was instantly killed
and his body badly lacerated. The
motorman and conductor were arrest
ed at the time but We're discharged
upon the order of the coroner's jury
which ruled that "the motorman of
the car did all in his power to pre-
vent the accident
The contention of the plaintiff Is
that the company was negligent by rea-
son of running it's cars too fast.
Before the case went to trial At
tOrneys Horace Il. Hand and Major
Everett Warren argued for contin-
uance on the grounds that one of their
principal witnesses, George Thomp-
son, jr., was at West Point, and could
not be reached by a subpoena. They
also stated that they did not learn of
