Richard +. Pairo.

Richard +. Pairo.
Catherine Shannon and Others yesterday Y
applied for an injunction to prevent Rich
ard E. Pairo from selling certain prop
erty OF the late Felix Shannon, situated
in Mount Pleasant. The plaintiffs alIege
that Felix Shannon executed two deeds
of trust prior to September IT. S95, eggre-
eating $4,000, On this property. On that
date he executed a third deed conveying
the property to P. a Darneilie and c. t.
Pairo as truste es to secure Campbell G..
Bergman in the sum of $4,000. Mrs.
Shannon alleges that the note secured by
this deed of trust was entirely without
consideration and was given to secure a
loan from Pairo OF $500.
She further claims that her husband
would have redeemed the property for the
amount IL he had not died. After the
death of her husband, January ~, 1897,
Pairo agreed to give up the note for ST.
600, and when she refused to pay this
amount he had the trustee offer the prop
erty for sale.
The sale was to have taken place yes

TICKET And MONEY GONE
Veteran Charles Gettinger Robbed
ON Railroad Train.
Fell Asleep After Leaving Baltimore
and Reached Washington
PeDniIess.

Charles w. Gettinger, a gray-h aired
veteran of the Confederacy, came into No.
1 station last night and humbly asked to
be given ID nights lodging.
The Old rnan,s appearance was respecta-
ble, and the story OF his nisfortunes was
told in straightforward manner. he
was on his way alone back to his old
home in Frederick, where he was horn
and spent the better part of his days.
He purchased a through ticket from Phila-
delphia, and placed it together with the
balance OF his money in his pocketbook.
After leaving Baltimore he fell asleep and
w Rcn aroused Just before reaching Wash
ington found that while he slept he had
been robbed of both his money and ticket.
The thief had even taken Mr.. Gettinger's
hat, but was kind enough TO leave an old
and battered one in its place.
The Old gentleman was bewildered when
he alighUed from the train in Washington
and as his ticket was gone he could pro-
ceed no farther on his journey A lone
5-cent piece In his vest pocket the thief
had overlooked, and with this Mr. Get
finger purchased stationery and stamp
and wrote his brother of his misfortune
and asked for assistance. In the meantime
ne started out to find the only two per.
sons he knew in all Washington.
They had been his friends long ago.
One, he learned, had joined the great
ma jority, while the other had moved away.
Tired and hungry, he found his way into
No. ] station, and asked for Il lodging.
The officers kindly donated small sum
and bought the old man supper, and
enough remained to guarantee his break
fast this morning, when he expects 70
hear from his brother.
There is no clew to the thief, and is
is not known where he left the train

COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ Is a long
Tibbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, il is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal rnicrobe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsils havs
become q corrupt mass of ulcers. Itnot
infrequently involves thewhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. It viii be seen that
nothing can radical, v cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
