Two Men and Two Girls Killed by tho
Explosion Near shannopin, Pa.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 13.-Four people
were killed by the explosion near Shan
nopin, l8 miles from this city, on the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad. The
explosion shook the earth for miles
around.
The Columbian Dynamite company,
branch Of the Pennsylvania Torpedo
company, Limited, has mill for the
manufacture Of nitroglycerin about
one mile back of Shannopin. The ex.
plosion occurred in the factory.
The mill was totally demolished and
two men and two girls, who were work
ing in the building at the time. were
instantly killed and one man injured.
The bodies of three of the victims were
blown into fragments and scattered in
all directions. Among the latter was
j.. ID, Stickney, superintendent of the
works
1t is not known how the explosion oc-
Cured, but it is thought that some of
the employees must have carelessly
Jared one of the vessels in which the
deadly fluid was kept.
The dead are as follows;
l.. ID. Stickney, superintendent of the
works.
Peter McClosky, an employe, died
shortly after the explosion from injuries

LOOK OUT FOR GOMEZ.
Expected Soon to Strike a De-
cisive Blow For Cuba.
THE REBELS ARE VERY CONFIDENT.
fhey Say General weyler win BE Made
Repent His Statement That Pinar Del
Rio Is Almost PaciGed-sickness Among
the Insurgents.

KEW WEST, Jan. 13.-Advices re-
ceived here from Havana say that Gen.
eral Weyler asserts that there are only
500 insurgents in the province Of Pinar
del Rio but the Cubans say that he
will shortly repent having made such q
statement. There is no doubt that the
insurgents have suffered from sickness
and other causes, but it is claimed that
should the Spanish commander only
partly withdraw his troops from the
western part of Pinar del Rio the in.
surgents will again concentrate in large
bodies, having only scattered into small
groups for the present in order to check
the Overwhelmingly large force sent
against them.
The Cubans claim that all such state.
ments are directed from Madrid for the
purpose of influencing congressional
action at Washington,
A great deal depends upon Maximo
Gomez and the progress his army will
make during the next few weeks or So
But, it is not thought likely that Gomez
will risk a pitched battle with the
Spaniards when he can probably accom-.
plish the end in view without taking
any such chances. However, the Gu.
bans expect military news of import.
ance shortly, as it is understood that
they have been advised by the New
York junta that the moment Is oppor'
tune for coup of some description,
which will be of Importance enough to
demonstrate that General Weyler is not
stating the exact facts when he says
that the province of Pinar del Rio is
pacified and that he is now proceeding
to accomplish the pacification of the re.
mainder of the island Of Cuba.
Reports from Havana are that the in
surgents Saturday sacked Calvarious,
less than ten miles from the city, drove
out the Spanish garrison of 700, burned
nearly half the place, seized a large
amount of supplies, destroyed all they
could not carry off and spiked two fine
large pield pieces that they could not
take away.

Reading Women Organize.

The women voters of Reading, Pa,
met recently at the home of Mrs. Will
liam Garter, Woburn street, and formed
an organization. Mrs. s. G. B. Pearson
was chosen temporary chairman. OFF,
GERS for the ensuing year were balloted
for, and the following were elected Mrs.
George Bosson, permanent chairman /;
Mrs. Warren E. Eaton, clerk; Mrs. s.
G. b. Pearson, treasurer. The society
then nominated Mrs. Ellen M. Bancroft
for member of the school committee
and recommended that Mrs. Gertrude
Hussey be nominated as trustee of the
public library. Mrs. Warren Eaton was
choren committee of one to confer
with the proper authorities in regard to
having a woman on the board Of over
seers of the poor. In conclusion, the So
ciety earnestly recommend that every
woman in town qualified to vote should
register and cast her vote at the coming
town election.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 13.-General Chas.

practically told me that himself the
other day. l want to say also that
Senator Sherman's appointment to the
state department is not contingent upon
the appointment of Mr.. Sherman's sue
cessor in the senate. That does not
enter into it,"
Speaking further, General Grosvenor
said that Senator Allison was not asked
to take the state portfolio that he was
offered the treasury portfolio and de-
clined it. Mr.. Grosvenor said that Con-
gresham Dingley was out of the ques-

partment because of his health.

THE NATURAL WAY
To Cnre Inflammation.

Inflammation is the sustaining ele-
ment of the great majority of our ply
sical ills; allay this Inflammation, and
the pain ceases, the flesh, muscles and
tendons resume their normal condi-
tion and the violence of the attack is
at an end.
1t follows, then, that the first step in
successful assault upon disease Is to
destroy any existing inflammation,
and with 1t the pain. This accomplish
ed, the patient Is at ease.
This is the natural mode of proceed
ure, and kind y Nature has furnished
the means to that end in certain roots,
barks and herbs, which, in their due
proportion, are constituent parts OF
Lightning Hot Drops, the greatest
pain panacea ever known to medical
science.
Freely applied to cut, bruise, burn,
scald. or flash-wound of any nature,
Lightning Hot Drops will absolutely
kill the pain, prevent all Inflammation
and quickly heal the lacerated flesh.
AS an instance, what is more painful
or distressing than mashed finger,
with the nail torn loose? In such a
case, Lightning Hot Drops gives COM
plrte and immediate ease from pain.
1t will smart and burn for few min
utes when first applied to fresh cuts,
sores, etc but few applications will
take all the soreness out and heal the
cut or sore The SOC size contains %
times as much as the 25c size. Light
ming Hot Drops is prepared by Herb
Medicine Co., Springfield, o., and no
honest druggist will offer you any
thing else. (2)

Her Afidavit of Recent Movements Filed,
but Considered Too Defective.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 18.-The secretary
of the interior has received from Collec.
tor Bisbee, at Jacksonville, a report on
the recent movements of the suspected
filibuster Dauntless, in which he incor.
porates an affidavit made by Captain
Meyers, the master. The affidavit states
in effect that on Dec % he, the master,
subscribed to an oath that the Daunt.
less was about starting on wrecking
tour, but was delayed by bad weather.
On the Goth he started through Hawks
channel He discovered signals OF dis.
tress flying from point on No Name
key. He put into the island and found
about 30 men in great distress, suffering
from exposure to the weather and want
of food. There was also a quantity Of
freightage in unbroken boxes and pack.
ages What they contained he did not
know. He took the men and freight on
board on New Years day, and, as near.
ly as he could recollect, on the Sd day
OF January he delivered them at sea
To whom they were delivered he does
not say, and the collector, in comment.
ing on the affidavit, says that to his
mind it is very defective, in that 1t does
not state to whom the men and goods
were delivered, and also in several
other important facts.
Newspaper correspondents assert that
those rescued were filibusters from the
Three Friends.
The vessel will not be allowed clear,

clearance she will probably be seized by

Mr.. Grossman, in his affidavit before

damage, the board was not called. Now,

this immediate attention. 30, Consist
ency, thou art jewel"
Our constitution requires notice to
the secretary within thirty days, after
loss. The secretary lives not more
than two miles from Mr.. GrUssman and
passes by his residence quite frequently.
Why did he not notify himP Was it
because he didn't want any one to see the
roof We will let the reader judge.
And now, in regard to the closing state
ment in the article referred 60, that " the
company decided that the board com
mitted wrong and declared Mr.. Gross
man a member in good and regular
standing" say most emphatically that
the company did nothing Of the kind.
A motion to sustain the action of the
board was lost by the following vote: In
favor Of sustaining its action, ,94; against,
95; with several individuals voting In the
negative whose right to vote was very
questionable. This Is all that was done
by the company in the matter. 1t neither
said that Grossman was a member In
good standing in the company nor in
structed the board to reinstate him.
But it did show It's appreciation of the
integiit ity of the board by electing every
member for the ensuing year except one,
who positively refused TO allow his name
to be used-A. j. Shaffer.
In conclusion, we will say that we
have presented the matttl in It's true
light, and any member of the company
can have access to the secretary's books,
where all re resolutions and the business of
the company is now recorded. The
company, feeling that justice is due,
deems reply necessary to the article
previously refererd 60, and will now let
the reader draw his own conclusions, and
dismiss the subject from any further
debate. Another Member.

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT,
Itching Piles and Other Rectal TrOub'
les Easily Cured by New and
Safe Method.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles indicated by warmth, slight moi ture
and intense, uncomfortable itching in the
parts affected.
The usuel treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but nothing
like permanent cure can be expected
from such su uperhcial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleeninR
or protrudinR. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued use
for short time causes permanent
removal of the tumors or the small
parasite which cause the intense itching
and discomfort Of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because
it was supposed to contain cocaine, opium
or similar drugs, but such Is not the case
A recent careful ANALYSIS OF tine remedy
showed it to be absolutely free from any
cocaine, opium, or 10 fact any poisonous,
injurious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians, because it
is so safe, so prompt in the relief afforded
and so far as known the Only positive
cure for piles except surgical operation.
In one year the Pyran i'd Pile Cure has
become the hest known, the safest snc the
most extensively sold Of any pile cure
before tina public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at 30
cts. and 81 per package
Address the Pyramid Co., Albion,
Mich, for book on cause and cure Of piles
and also hundreds of testimonials from
all parts Of the United States.
II suffering from any form OF piles
ask your druggist for a pscka Of
Pyramid Pile Cure and try it tonight.

So weyler Tells the Spanish Legation,
No Terms with United States.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Senor Dupuy
de Lome's attention has been directed to
the published statements purporting to
come from Madrid to the effect that the
Spanish government had instructed him
to notify the American secretary OF
state that Spain would accept the terms
of peace settlement with Cuba, sub.
mitted by the American government,
and that he had cabled the authorities
at Madrid of his communicating the &C.
ceptance to Mr.. Olney. The Spanish
minister made denial.
From other sources it is learned that
the situation has undergone no recent
change and that the status today is
exactly what it has been for some time,
namely purpose on the part of Spain
to apply extended reforms of autonomy
to Cuba as soon as the paciication of
the island is assured.
A cable dispatch just received from
General Weyler says the province of
Pinar del Rio, which has been the storm
center of recent conflict, is pacifled.
This is regarded as not only important
in itself, but as completely contradict.
ing published statement made by Sen.
ator. elect Money that Pinar del Rio was
not and could not be pacifed. General
Weyler in his dispatch explicitly refers
to and contradicts this published state.
ment,
With reports that the provinces Of
Matanzas and Havana are pacified,
which are confidently expected by the
legation in view of the report from
Pinar del Rio, the reports will cover
practically the entire island, as Santa
Clara province has not been a seat Of
recent insurgent activity and Santiago
de Cuba is far to the eastward and out
of the range of recent military opera.
