tions ofthis city are flooded to a depth
of two feet Five vessels tied up at win
ter moorings have broken loose. The
schooner Moore crashed into the Eighth

the Eighth street bridge, and in all prob
ability will flood the town along the river

On the opposite side of the river the
towns are i'm equally as bad condition, ex-

Fatal Boxing Bout In Philadelphia
-Defzrfunn After a Eight

PHILADELPHIA, March 20 1S97.-A
blow near the heart, similar to the one
with which Fdtzsimnons defeated Cor
bett, caused the death at 1890 O'Clock this
morning of Edward Gibbons. who late
last might met Samuel S. Perry in a box
ing bout at the Tenth Ward Democratic
Club.
The contest was one of a number ON the
programme of an entertainment of the
club and the men were good friends.
For two rounds the contest continued
without much damage being done, al
though 1T was clear to the spectators that
Gibbons was no match for Perry. In the
third round the men spared for q minute
and Perry, who had decidedly the better
of the argument, suddenly stepped Tn close
and shot a hard Jab into Gibbons body.
His glove handed just under the heart, and
the recipient staggered back, butt did not
fail.
At this point Referee Lasl1ey ordered the
bout stopped, declaring, that Gibbons was
clearly lunanatclaed and the men took off
their gloves. Perry went home, while Glib
house some time.
Suddenly he complained of feeling sick
and began vomiting blood. This alarmed
the crowd, and DR.. Curry was called In
to see after him. The. physician found
the man badly injured from internal
hurts due to the shock, and as he con-
tinued to sink. ordered his removal 10
a hospital. Gibbons was taken to the
Hahnemann Hospital in a comatose con-
dition and with blood coming from his
mouth. No marks were visible to show
where the blow landed. but the patient
died.

New York. Dee. 22.-The patent Of
flee has granted three important pa
tents to Rudolph NJ. Hunter of Phia-
trio company of New York, on the
ering "A period of seventeen years, says
a Washington special to the Herald.
Should the Supreme court Of the United
States uphold these patents, millions of
dollars In royalties must be paid by the
Westinghouse and other electrical COM
panies. The patents are of greater inn
portance to the electrical world than
any granted in many years, as the APP
planes are being used by the large
electric-lighting concerns in all the
large cities.
Mr. Greeley, assistant commissioner
of patents, said: "The patents cover
broadly the idea of generating high
tension currents and transmitting
them through u wire or by means of an
induction coil or transmltters into low
tension currents or high-tenslon cur
rents, as the case may be, for distribu-
ton.
They will probably more largely af-
feet the Westinghouse company than
any other electrical concern in this
country and in all probability Will re-
suit IN ong-drawn-c t lawsuits.
"rhey win not affect the electrical
roads, because they use what is known
as the direct current. These patents
have reference to what is known as the
alternating current, 1t is largely used
for lighting purposes, but not, | think,
for power purposes"

Firm belief and confidence in fami-

faith in q patent medicine. have pro-
duced remarkable cures In all ages.
This is especially true in nervous

run down nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common OF
all diseases, Indigestion and stomach
troubles, which in turn cause nervous
diseases, heart troubles. consumption
and loss of flesh, requires something
besides faith cure.
Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give you an appetite,
will not increase your flesh and
strengthen your nerves and heart but
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
these things, because they are COM
posed of the elements of digestion.

They invigorate the stomach, make

only way that nature can do It, and
that is, from plenty of wholesome food
