Writes EntertainingIy on Slack Wa
ter Improvement--Wh Has Been
Done--Why it Has Been Done--And
What Will be Done.
The following letter has been sent
out by Hon. A. G. Dayton regarding
the slack water extension.
"Will you kindly say to your read
ers who are interested in the Monon-
gahela River improvement that / am
advised that Secretary Alger has set
tied the controversy that has been
going on over the warding of the
contract for the construction of the
six locks and dams by rejecting all
the bids received under the original
letting and directing that new propos-
ais and bids be received for the work
1t will be remembered that James
McCarron, of Philadelphia, became
the lowest bidder for the work at
1922, 1880 and the contract was
awarded to him, but he failed to
furnish bonds that were satisfactory
to the department, and hence the de-
lay in the improvement. The ques-
tion that the department has had un-
der adyisement for some time was
whether to award the work to the
next lowest bidder, or to reject all
bids and have new letting. There
being some questions and conditions
attached to the bids OF one or two
next lowest to McCarron, the Secre-
tary has determined to reject all and
advertise for new bids as above stated.
The complication growing out Of
McCarron's failure to give bond has
been the sole cause of the delay in
the work and one good summers
work has been lost by it, but am
assured that no delay will be made
in advertising and letting the con-
tract at che earliest possible day and
feel sure from my repeated inter-
views and communications with the
department on this subject that the
officials having this matter in charge
are very anxious to help us in having
this work promptly done and the i'm
provement made an accomplished
fact. desire your people to have this
Information in order that they may
feel that everything is being done as
rapidly as can be under existing cir
cumstances.

THE BLACKsyILLE ELECTION
Passes on Quiet, Unanimous For In
corporation = second Attempt
history OF the Movement.


For the second time Blacksmith has
held an election to pass upon the
question Of Incorporation. Both times
the verdict was aye. This time il
was unanimous. Twenty-six votes
were in favor OF it and not one went
into the ballot box against the move
ment.
The election was a quiet one, nc
disorder of any kind occurred. Those
opposing the movement remained
away from the polls and did not vote.
They did not even try to influence the
result Ia any way. The victory has
made the supporters of the matter
feel very jubilant and deservedly so.
They have been at work on the
thing for nearly a year. In last May
an election was held and heavy ma
jority cast for incorporation. Or
June 10th the papers were laid before
the court. A strong fight was made
against incorporation and the counsel
for those opposing 1t raised technical
point concerning the election notices
which resulted in the court ruling out
the application. The district In
which the town was situated was moi
specified as required by law. So the
first election went for nothing,
Undeterred by this failure the
friends of incorporation went to work
again and held another election. The
papers were all drawn up by Hon.
George G. Sturgiss this time and it is
belived that nothing essential to the
case on that score has been omitted.
Tomorrow the papers relating to the
case will be brought to town by J. w.
Garrett of Blacksville and on October
! 9th the court will consider them.
The same boundaries as before were
designated. The population of the
new town is about one hundred. Tho

SUIT AGAINST TIE B. { 0.
Application for a Separate Receiver feu
Piftsburg & COnneilsyiIIe Road.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. IA suit
was begun in the United States
Court here to-day, which has for its
object the appointment of separate
receiver for the Pittsburg d Councils
vile railway, one Of the tributaries
OF the Baltimore d Ohio Railway
system, pending the foreclosure Of
the second consolidated mortgage
for Sl0,000.000, held by the Union
Trust Company of New York, the
plaintiff in the action, the trustee
for the owners Of the bonds secured
by TIE mortgage in question.
The filing of this suit and the APP
plieation for separate reeeiyership,
when taken in connection with a
similar action recently filed by the
bondholders of the Baltimore Il Ohio
and Chicago branch of the system,
is looked upon as foreshadowing q
pan to disintegrate the system ma
tured by those who are opposed to
the present receivership.

Mr.. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;
writes:
about three years ago my grand
daughter Bertha Wildwood, was
thrown from a horse, receiving a
wound of the scalp. Under the treat
men' Of physicians the wound seemed
obstinate, and for several months re-
manned about the same, until it finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into running sore. This soon
spread to other parts of The scalp. and
ran down the side of the neck, in
creasing in severity, aud fcarful1y
disfiguring her.
after being constantly under a
physician for a year, and her condi-
ton a great deal worse than at first,
we placed her under the care of the
faculty of well-known hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed to arrest the terrible sore.
"Reading of the many cures of
blood troubles effected by S. S. s., we
decided to try it, and it relieved her
promptly. AT first this remedy seemed
to increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
and the place began to heal. In a
few months she was entirely cured,
and scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease held full sway"
S. s. S. is the right remedy for all
blood diseases, and is the only cure
for Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofu1a,
Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, etc., no matter how deep-seated
the case s. 6 s. is Guaranteed

1t matters not from what cause the
blood becomes poisoned, it is i,npossi-
bic for the doctors to effect cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and the
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot
ash and mercury are the component
parts of every doctors prescription
for diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-calied blood puri-
fers are based on potash and mercury
In fact, S. s. S. (Swift's Specific) is
the only blood remedy that is guar

only one that contains no harmful
