reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the
eustachinn tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases ont of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

A Mothers Terrible Discovery.

While Mrs August Chavyak, of Oily
phant, was going to Nantcoke In an
electric car, with her year-od son in her
arms, she noticed peculiar limpness in
the babe, and on uncovering it was hor-
rified to find that the child was dead.
The poor woman was nearly distracted
and at once went into Mysteries, and it
was all the other women could do to
quiet hor. A sad feature of the case
was that she was going to see lawyer
IN order to get divorce from her hus-
band, who has treated her cruelty.
When asked if the baby had been sick,
she replied that it had been slightly i'll
the day previous.

Removal of Machinery Prevent ed.

A preliminary injunction has been
granted by the court of this county to
restrain the firm of Linderman e. Skeer
from removing their personal property,
consisting of pumps, engines, boilers,
breaker machinery, etc, at Stockton
After having operated there several
years, the firm early last year notified
the land owners, who are Incorporated
under the name of the Sugarloaf Coal
Company, that the lease would not be
renewed on the same terms on January
1, when it expired by limitation.
A temporary arrangement was entered
into by the lessees and the land owners
by which Linderman e Skeer consented
to continue to work the mines until a
new lease was made, or new lessees Sc
cured.
No arrangements having been made
up to January Is, Linderman & Skeer
notified the lessons that they would be-
gin to remove from the promises their
property and that the first step would
be to take out the pumps in the lower
levels. In order to prevent the opera
tors from doing this bill in equity was
filed and the court granted an injunc-
tion.
The consequence of the removal of
the pumps would have been the flooding
of the mines and damage to the land
owners that would in all likelihood
prove beyond repair. 1t is claimed by
those who are familiar with the Stock
ton workings that the amount of coal
still remaining in the lands would not
warrant the expense of draining should
the mine be flooded.

take charge of the Coke companies

would not listen to it, and the headquar-

ton near the mines, it being the only

heads outside of the large cities. Mr..

RAILROAD TRACK SANK.
Passenger Train Wrecked Near Stockton
on Monday Evening.

| One of the most serious railroad
wrecks that have occurred on the Le-
high Valley Railroad in years took place
| Hazleton and Stockton, when the pas
senger train which passed here at 6.5s
o'clock went into cave hole. Just
before the train reached the point re-
ferred to there was cave in the mine
under the track and the railroad sank
about six feet. As 1T was dark at the
time, the engineer could not see far
ahead. AS soon as the heavy engine
came upon the rails from which the
ground support had been taken they
| sank to the level of the ground and
formed a sort of basin. The engine roll
ed over on its side and the huge driving
| wheels spun around in the air at a
furious rate. Tho. mail car also went
over on its side, but the passenger
| coaches were not overturned.
The greatest excitement Immediately
prevailed and the passengers, who were
badly shaken up, although not injured,
scrambled out of the cars and looked
around to see the extent of the damage.
The steam escaping from the overturned
engine made horrible noise and as
nothing could be seen of the engineer or
fireman, a search was made.
Engineer Michael Lonzer, of Halle
ton, was found pinioned under the en-
gine and was instantly killed. His body

five years and fireman for eleven years.
and before that was brakeman. He
was twenty-three years in the employ of
the company.
Fireman Fred Myers, Hazleton, was
found in a ditch close by, where he was
thrown when the engine went over. He
was badly cut on the head and bruised and
was sent to Hazleton hospital. He also
sustained internal injuries, which may
prove serious. He is 40 years old, lives
in Hazleton and has wife and two
children.
Baggagemaster Ham Balleutine, of
Hazleton was thrown through the bag
gage car window, but escaped serious
injury. The conductor of the train was
George Reese, also of Hazeton.
All the passengers were severely
shaken up, but none were injured.
The company has been having serious
trouble with that stretch of track, as
cave-ins are of frequent occurrence and
several trains have had narrow escapes.
On several occasions the track has gone
down several feet but each time has
been discovered before train dashed
into it. The company was just making
preparations to move the track about
mile away from the present location, so
that they would not be over the mine.
The engine was completely wrecked
The following jury has been empan-
eled by Deputy Coroner McCombs: E.
Woolsey, Reuben Beise1, W.HH. laval,
George Lubrecht, ii. w. Mcclure and |
William Lauderbach. They viewed the
body of the victim, after which they
went to the scene of the wreck.

Fate of an Unsuccessful Politician.

George Blodgett, aged 62 years, of
ButtOnwood, Hanover township, hanged
himself to beam in the ice house ad-
joining his house early Sunday morning.
He used strap to attach to the beam
and to tie about his neck. The strap was
too long for the body to swing clear of
the floor and the man simply kept lifting
his feet off the floor until asphyxation
set in. He must have struggled wildly,
for his hands were bruised and bleeding
and his face was scratched up--all the
result of contact with the rough boards
and beams. Mr.. Blodgett is said to have
taken to heart his defeat for supervisor
in the township caucus of Saturday
night, for on Saturday afternoon some
friends of the rival candidate are said
to have taken Mr.. Blodgett away and
filled him to utter helplessness with in
toxicants so that he could not fight his
own cause. The fact is also given out
that the man had brooded for some time
and is said to have stated quite frequently
that he didn't see that he was any use
in the world.
