DR.. Cyrus Edson Makes Known to the
World His Consumption Cure-But Two
Cases in Over Two Hundred Died.
| New YORK, Feb 7-Dr. Cyrus Ed
son, of West Forty-ninth street, has
discovered what he and eminent ply
sicians claim to have proved to be a
cure for consumption. The Medical
Record, the most important and con-
United States, edited by DR.. George f.
Shrady, announces Friday the COM
plete and marvellous success of rem
edy for tuberculosis, discovered by DR..
Edison and tested and experimental
with by score of the best known ply
sicians in and about New York.
The Medical Record publishes Fri
day the statements of Henry A. Mott,
Ph. D., LII. D.: DR.. John Ii. Ripley, DR..
r. P. Lincoln and DIR. f. n. Brandt. all
of New York city. and DIR. Lewis
Balch, of Albany, N. Y. All of these
physicians are of the very highest
standing and all of them have most
carefully investigated the merit of DR..
Edson's remedy. Two hundred and
eighteen cases have been formally re-
ported upon by physicians, besides
those treated by DR.. Edison himself.
Twenty-three of these patients have
been discharged cured. Sixty-eight
are so far along toward complete re-
covery that the attending physicians
announce a belief in the certainty of
cure. Ninety-one show marked i'm
provement, but'have not yet been un-
der treatment long enough for the
doctors to feel positive of coming re-
covery. Three have resisted the reme-
dy entirely. One died under the treat
ment The new remedy is called asep-
tolin. 1t was discovered by DR.. Edison
while he was studying phenol. The
fluid is injected into the body of the
patient hypodermicallY.

MONROE COUNTY.

MINNIE NOON IL
The only arrival of Importance in
our local fields was Amos No. 2, which
started off at go barrel gait and
seems to be slayer. The well on the
Booth farm is down some 500 feet and
going ahead a "siftin." The Bazel
Dye we'll is also pretty deep and will
be drilled in in a few days.
The latest news from Columbus is,
that in the case of Auditor VS.. Jones;
in regard to taxing oil and gas leases,
the supreme court has affirmed the
opinion of the circuit court: in declar-
ing that no taxable interest was pas
sed in the oil leases This defeats the
auditor and removes the hope of reve-
nue. from that source.-Sprit.
SIsTERsvILLE, Feb. 7.-Judging from
the line of big gassers that have been
drilled in in this county we have fine
gas belt about IS miles long and sever
al miles wide. We hope to see this
gas utilized by manufacturing estab-
lishment soon.
1t was reported in town that the
well on the Forney farm had been
drilled deeper into the sand and was
making some oil, but we could not get
any one who had been near the well to
confirm the report and it is not general
ly believed to be true. This well is To-
Gated a short distance soute of Pursley
post office.
AS soon as the weather settles and
roads dry up a company from Wheeling
will drill a test we'll on the Doctor
Clark farm, short distance west of
the Reuben Martin well about five
miles east of town.
The hill across the river back of the
Phile farm so long considered dry ter
ritory is now being plugged full of
holes and about half dozen wells are
being drilled there now.
Next Monday is the usual monthly
pay day in the oil fields here. Several
hundred thousand dollars will be paid
out here on that day.

whose name never fails to stir the heart.
OF the old Marylander with lively emo
tions of admiration and affection-Gov.
Tom johnson, that audacious and stub
born patriot, of whom John Adams
said that he was one of four citizens
OF Maryland and Virginia without
whom there would have been no revo-
lution;" although, in affected scorn of
him, British officer, writing to his
people at home, had assured them
there is no need to be alarmed by all
this noise in the colonies. which is main-
~ made by a boy named Tom Johnson"
THAT pestilent rebel of the British
war Office, writes John Williamson
Palmer in Century, was the trusty,
loving friend of Washington, whom he
nominated to be commander-in-chief
OF all the armies of the united colonies;
member of the first congress, and of
the. convention which adopted the con-
stitution of the United States; first
governor Of Maryland, and an associate
justice of the supreme court; and he
was twice urged to accept the portfolio
of secretary of state. He was in his
day the first citizen of Maryland, and
in all the colonies the revolution dis
closed no wiser, stronger, sweeter char.

A DISASTER.
An Old Bridge at Bristol, Ct.,
Gives Way.
A Number of Workman Thrown Into
the Pequabuek River.
From Ten to Twelve of Them Are Probably
Drowned--The Bridge Had Been Found
to BE Shaky-One side OF the Struc-
ture Gave Way to the Current.

BaIsToI, Ct, Feb. "A most appall-
ing disaster occurred here shortly
after 0 o'clock Thursday night, in
which 20 workmen were precipitated
into Pequabuck river from the East
Bristol bridge, and from ten to twelve
of them are probab bly, lost.
The structure was found to be shaSy
and the 4:4o train on the New England
road had narrow escape from wreck
as it crossed on the way to Hartford.
For some time the bridge had been
looked upon with suspicion and at the
present time new bridge was in pro.
cess of erection and was almost COM
pleted. 1t was close alongside the
bridge which was then carried away.
After the eastbound passenger train
had passed Thursday night one side of
the old bridge gave way to the current
and with a crash went boiling down
stream. The managers of the road
Immediately dispatched a wrecking
train from Hartford which arrived on
the Forestville side of the Pequa-
buck river. There were forty men
on the train all of whom had
come from Hartford. They were i'm
mediately set to work to make the
bridge passable and work was progress
sing satisfactorily by the aid of Ian
terms up to nine o'clock. To facili-
tate the work half of the men were To-
Gated on the remaining portion of the
old structure. At nine o'clock they
were passing iron girders to another
gang of men on the new bridge.
The waters of the Pequa buck had
been continually rising since morning
and at nine o'clock were higher than
ever known. The water had risen
two or three feet since the first
crash Mt five o'clock, and the re-
mainder of the bridge was really
tottering while the men were courage
ously standing upon it. The outer end
suddenly sank with crash, with it's
human freight, and was carried off in
the boiling current. The cries of the
men, the creaking Of timber and the
falling of iron work made combined
noise which was heard half mile

A Dog That Kept Flock Together for
Two Years.

A Dog That Kept a Flock Together for
Two Years.
A dog in New Mexico, returning one
evening with his sheep to the fold,
discovered that his master was still
in his shanty and kept very quiet, says
the Christian at Work. The next even
ing it was the same. But after pen
ming up the sheep the dog smelled about
the door. scratched, barked, and even
howled, as he was getting very hungry.
Rut his master did not move. The dog,
true to his appointed duty, went out
with the sheep on the third day, but
that night when he drove the flock into
their pen, the last one to attempt. to
get IN became the victim of the dogs
appetite. This method Of providing for
his own wants became part of the
faithful dogs daily duty. Every even
ing the last sheep to try to enter the
fold was seized by him and served for
supper, and breakfast, and dinner the
following day. The ranch to which the
dog belonged was in solitary part
OF the territory, and out of the track
of travel or visitation.
For two years from the time of
the masters death, as ascertained by
data left by the latter, the faithful
dog attended the flock committed to
his charge, and had fresh mutton Tor
his supper every night The flock was
not decimated by this steady drain
upon its resources. On the contrary, it
increased in numbers, and when, at
the end of two years from the time
Of the death of the proprietor, the ranch
was visited and the remains of the own
er were found, the dog was still at his
post of duty, jealousy guarding his
flock and driving them to the best pas
lures every day aud to the fold at
night, before which he SLEPT to keep
the wild sheep-eaters of ihe plains
at safe distance.

Tneir Impudence.

Certain young Indian gentlemen
who are pursuing the study of the law
in London were invited by the master
of the Temple to pass an evening at
his house. The time fixed for the as
sembling of the interesting party ar
rived, but nobody came. When near
ly an hour had passed in fruitless wait
ing the masters lady rang for the maid
"a new one, as it happened, not yet
quite accustomed to the ways of the
house. She entered in state of consid-
cradle excitement. "Have none OF the
gentlemen arrived?" asked her mis-
tress. NO." answered the domestic,
but lot of impudent niger minstrels
has been a-ringin' at the bell, and l
have been a-drivin' 'em away, mum!"

MunicipaI Affairs.

Mayor Pingree, of Detroit, has
achieved national reputation,
through his battle for the peoples
rights as against private corporations
which had street franchises in that
city. His name has been prominently
mentioned for Senator from Michigan,
but he prefers to remain in his present
position of Mayor until the reforms he
has started are fully carried out. After
that the people of Michigan may need
him to give his talents to the larger
field of State and National reforms.
Would that many other cities had Pin
grees for Mayors.
MAYOR PINGREE's MESSAGE.
His Seventh Annual Communication
to the City Council is before us:
His first efforts in the line of cheap
ening charges the people have to pay
were directed against an Electric Light
octopus, private company which held
the city in its grasp, and were getting
s175 per light. The City now owns her
own street lights and although at
quite distance from the coal beds the
price per lamp will not be over one
third what it was when the Brush
Company held the franchise.
ELECTRIC STREET RAILWAYS.
Mayor Pingree next directed his at
tention to the street railways of De-
troit which were reaping vast fortunes
out of the franchises, virtually given
away by the City. The people by this
time had become so well satisfied with
their Mayor that when called upon to
vote they voted four to one in favor of
City ownership of the street railways.
That battle is still on.
FREE WATER.
He next proposes to wipe out the
Water Works Trustees. Support water
works by taxation and furnish water
free to every inhabitant of the city.
We are waiting with much interest to
see what the outcome will be.
TELEPHONES.
He also proposes to compel the tele-
phone Companies to reduce their charg-
es. which are now simply extortionate.
He can do this by getting legislation
which will enable the City Council to
regulate the charges. This will trans
fer the contest to the polls and the
people can then elect good and true
men who will fix rates which will be
just to the Companies and at the same
time protect the people.
COLUMBUS.
Our State Capital has been lighted
by private company, and as the fran
chise of the Company is about expiring,
the City proposes hereafter to do her
own lighting and have a bill pending
in the legislature to give them the au
thority to issue 100000 of bonds to
put up power house and modern cleo
trio light plant.
There are how over 200 cities in the
Country which own their own electric
lighting plants and the number is rap
idly increasing. The verdict on all
sides being that the city can do its own
lighting cheaper and at the same time
more satisfactorily to the citizens than
private Company. Ii.

THE STROUD Run WELL.

A large number of interested oil
seen an oil we'll shot, went over to the
well on Stroud's Run Saturday. as the
operators anticipated shooting it at
that time. The glycerine did not ar
rive and the crowd came back much
disgusted as if cluster" had been
found
Everything was in readiness Monday
morning and the well was shot in the
presence of large number of specta-
tors. A few seconds after the eXplo-
sion occurred, a stream of solid oil shot
forth, rising several feet above the der
rick, grand sight to the uninterested
and a magnificent spectacle to the
stockholders There being no gas, the
volume of OIL soon died down and the
well will have to be pumped. The oil
is pronounced as being of the best
quality, in fact a much better oil than
that found in the Corning field. The
well will produce from Is to 90 barrels
Il day.. The arrangements are fast be-
ing completed to pump and tank the
oil
The most gratifying part of this ex-
pertinent test well is that it has proven
beyond a reasonable doubt, that there
is an oil field around about Athens,
and while it may cost great deal Of
money to fully develop the field, capi-
talist are now fully assured that it will
not be idle speculation to put money
into the business. Messenger.
