college here and the doctors said my
case was a new one to them the great
pain having brought on a large run
ture, which they wanted seven humid
red dollars to cut out. 1 was very much
afraid that death would result from
the blood-pOisoning which they said
would result from the operation. I
feel as though l can't praise the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and the Pyramid Pills
too highly, as [ am convinced that they
saved my life. Before using your cure
l weighed only ninety pounds and now
L weigh one hundred and fifty and feel

BOOK OF JOB QUOTED IN COURT.
biblical Remark and O. Clever An
SWer

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-The scriptures
were appealed to yesterday as a source
OF authority in the United States cir
cult court of appeals. The court was
nearing an appeal from the federal
court OF Western Wisconsin, where a
jury gave verdict of $1,000 against
the Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault
Ste. Marie railroad for the burning of
property in. Lincoln county, the fire
having been caused by sparks from a
locomotive
Alfred II. Bright, in arguing for the
railroad company to have the verdict
set aside, asserted that sparks from a
locomotive fly upward and the proba-
pity OF the fire having been caused
by sparks was remote
ar The universal effect of air currents
on sparks of fire was discerned by the
author of Job,' he said, long prior to
the birth of our Jurisprudence, when he
said Man is born unto trouble. as the
sparks fly upward "
William H. Flett, attorney for En-
erson Brothers-the firm securing the
Verdict-rejoined: Counsel has seen fit
to cite the book of Job in support Of
his theory as to sparks. 1t is also re-
corded in Holy Writ: Behold, how
great a matter a little fire kindleth."
The court took the issue under adj
Visement.

TWO REPORTERS DROWNED
By 81 Collision Near the New Orleans
Quarantine Station.

Quarantine Station.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 2S-At
l2:35 this morning collision occurred
in the river about twelve miles above
the quarantine station, between the
steam yacht Argo and the fruit steam
ship Albert Dumois, in which the yacht
had her bow stove in and sank within
a very few minutes after the accident.
How the accident occurred and who
was to blame for it the courts will
most probable be called upon to decide
The DumOis was inward bound from
Port Limon, and the ArgO was bound
down the river on her way to Quaran-
tine station to meet the steamship
Whitney, with the congressional COM
mittee on board. The Argo had three
reporters of the Picayune H. H. Hes
ter, and F. Blasine of the staff, and
an extra man; H. L. Frentz, of New
Orleans was a guest. The crew Of four
men, commanded by James Brown,
was in charge of the craft and the
vessel made excellent time down the
river All in the cabin had retired
when the collision occurred. The Argo
in a very few moments sank The cap
tain and crew of the Argc lowered a
small dingy into which they sprang,
while the passengers, only two, Mr..
FrantZ and Lindauor, the extra re-
porter, succeeded in reaching the boat
The boat had barely left the side Of the
vessel before the Argo plunged head
foremost into the river The Dumois
did not lower a boat. After reaching
the deck of the DumoiS it was learned
that Messrs. HestOr and Blessine were
missing, and although the Dumois lay
to fully an hour, they finally abandon
ed the search and headed up the river.
The young men were we'll known and
popular reporters.
