Portland wholesale Market.

PORTLAND. Jan 20, 1896
Rather light business was reported to-day
In general merchandise but there appears to
be no weakening in values, on he contrary
most everything is fllmer, and in a few instan-
ces are higher. Grain of all kinds in the West
is higher, with Flour very stiff, aud con-
cessions will not be considered for moment.
Pork and Lard are as firm, if not firmer than they
were last week., in fact some jobbers asking
more. Eggs are fairly steady at the decline.
Potatoes continue easy. Cabbages are held
higher by the farmers, asking SIS a ton. bnt
dealers here refuse at prespent to pay more
than $12. The Refund Sugar market is decided
ly strong, and prices will positively rule higher,
Cables on beets and foreign graduated are bull
ish and all European markets advancing.
A dispatch just received Quotes pork 90 cents
higher and lard 1sc better.
The following ara to-day's wholesale prices of

Electric Hitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed in the Spring, when the Ian
guld exhausted feeling prevails. when
need of tonic and Alternative is felt A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more surely
in counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache, In
digestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield
to Electric Bitters. Only fifty cents per

ASLEEP AT THE THROTTLE Result, Two Dead Men and a
 Bad Wreck. A COLLISION ON THE |, & N. CoIored Brakeman and White Tramp Killed. The Latter's Companion Severely h.
 iured-Thrteen Cars Smashed.

Two dead, one badly injured and oth- CTS shaken up was the result of col lision between two freight trains on the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Mountain creek, sixty eight miles south of this city, at 3:56 o'clock yesterday morning. The dead are:
 Frank ArnsWorth, white, Fort Worth Tex.
 Frank Hamilton, colored, this city.
 The white man was a tramp and was stealing a ride in company with com panion named Claude Black. The latter was severely injured and members of the two train crews were badly shaken up by the shock of the collision.
 The two trains which came together were freights Nos. 25 and 2S, pulled by engines Nos. PTS and 233 respectively. Engineer F. Woods was at the throttle of the former and Engineer Feagin the latter.
 From reports at the superintendent's office the collision was due to Engineer Feagin's going to sleep in the cab and neglecting an order wherein he was in structed to meet No. 25 at Mountain Creek No. 25 was southbound and had the right of way and was on the main line at the tank taking water. Soon No; 2S was seen coming and at the lower end of the switch it was noticed by the enI gineer, fireman and train crew or NO. 70 that the speed of the oncoming train was not slackened, and seeing a collision was inevitable, jumped aside and escaped in- jury.
 As the two engines came together the engineer and fireman of No. 2S jumped and escaped injury. Not so, however, with Frank Hamilton, the front brake man, and the white tramps. The brake man and Arnsworth were caught under the wreckage, and their bodies horribly crushed and mangled. Black, the other tramp, was severely bruised.
 Both engines were badly broken up, and two oil tank cars and eleven others, loaded with coal lumber and other freight, were wrecked, their contents being piled here and there along the track on both sides.
 Engineer Feagin wired the superln- tendent that he had gone to sleep" ana neglected the order instructing him to meet Mo- 25 at Mountain creek.
 The wrecking crews from this city ana Montgomery were sent to the wreck as soon as possible, and by o'clock had the track cleared.
 Fast Mail No. 1, southbound, and Ac' commodation No. g were delayed some time at the wreck.
 The bodies of the two dead men wer' brought to this city and taken in charge by the Warner-Smiley company and pre- pared for burial The injured tramp, his own request, was sent to Montgom cry after having his wounds dressea.
 Hamilton, the dead brakeman, nVe' at No. 15O4 Fifth avenue, this city, ant has a family.
 ArnsWorth, the dead tramp, so his com panion stated was from Fort Worth Tex

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in1amed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condi- tlon hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

At Mobile.

Mobile, Aug. 1.-The game this after noon between Mobile and Montgomery was slow and uninteresting. The locals made two runs in the third inning and the visitors tied the score in the fourth and after that the Mobilians were never in it. There was some pretty work done by Dobbs at short and also by Wiseman in left field, but this availed nothing in the face of a punching of hits by the vis- itors in three innings, eleven of their dozen hits being made in three innings. Score;. s,--.,,
