Frightrul Accident on the New York Cen

New YORK, Oetober,24. The most
awful accident that has happened in
the history Of the New York Central
Railroad took place this morning
just before daylight between the two
stations called Garrisons and High
lands, on the Harlem River, near
West Point.
The official statement of the rail-
road shows that at least nineteen
persons were killed and probably as
many more injured
The wrecked train, the Buffalo and
New York special, was running
along level and straight stretch of
track, when, without a moments
warning, and for some reason so ut
terly ineXplainable as to almost
warrant a suspicion that the en-
bankment was blown up, the solid
bank gave way, carrying with it
wall of stone more than yard thick,
and the engine and seven cars of the

less time than it takes to tell it. The
water was rushing into the smashed
cars, and the people, most of them
awakened from sleep in their befths,
panic stricken and shrieking for
help, were rushing hither and thither
trying to escape from what seemed
certain death. There were some
among the panic-strickeH ones who
quickly recovered their presence of
mind and it is due to them that the
loss Of life was not tripled.

who were members of the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen in 1894, in re-

schools. He said that at the hands
of that Board, the public school sys-

its most vital spot. He had the
minutes before him, and, TO sub
stantiate his remarks, read the pro-

Board on Thursday evening, June

AT this meeting an ordinance was

Dig down TO the cause of your sick

we'll, Most likely it's Indigestion. The
irritating poisons Of fermenting, putrid
food, left in the stomach by indigestion,
cause headache, neuralgia, nerv Ousness,
dizziness, stomachache, nausea, irrata-
bility and all the other well-known
symptoms of Indigestion. They also
cause many pains and disorders which
are often laid to other causes and hence
are not easily cured. But as soon as
the poisons are removed, all these symp-
toms and disorders disappear, because
there is nothing left to cause them
