MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 49, 1897

this motion will be entertained under the
special order urNer which the House is
operating.
The fact that the reading of the bill may
not be completed under the hve-minute rule
Will in nowise interfere with the power OF
the ways and means committee 10 perfect.
Their amendments are in order TO any part
of the bill at any time, and when il be-
comes apparent that the bill cannot be
completed Mr.. Dingley assume charge
and clear up all the amendments he de-
Slres 10 offer. After the tariff bill is passed
on Wednesday the House probably Will ad-
Journ three days at time until the APP
preparation bills are returned TO il. If they
are amended by the Senate the House prob
ably VIII accept the opportunity offered Tor
talking. and injury be done il is
likely that the leaders Will indulge the
members TO some extent in this regard.
The Republican members of the ways and
means committee were in session several
hours to-day and again tonight. consider
some OF which have been urged by those
whose interests are affected by the
schedules as originally agreed on and
debate the bill. A number of amend
ments were agreed on unanimously by the
majority and will be presented in the House
by Mr.. Dingley before the vote is taken on
Wednesday. There was nothing new added
10 the bill, said member tonight, but the
changes made We're simply in the schedules
already reported, ana none or these are OF
great Importance. These amendments were
mainly In the way Of changes in punctua-
ton, classification and phraseology. Prob
ably the most important amendment agreed
on was To make the rates on nursery STOCK
specific by the thousand cuttings instead
of uniform ad valorem they now are in
the bill. The present rate in the bill is
30 per cent. ad valorera. and the changes
made fix a specific rate that Will equal the
ad vaIorem duty. This change made
on the representation of the nursery in
terests of the country which contended
that the pending rates were inimical TO
their welfare. Several other amendments
agreed on were to reduce the rate on inn
ports the like of which not produced
here and where no great interests Will
suffer from sucn reduction. The duty on
dates was reduced from 1l2 cents per pound
to u cent.
There was no discussion looking to a
possible postponement of the final vote on
the bill to a later day than that now fixed,
because of the slow progress which has
been made in the House. and members of
the majority say the vote surely will be
taken on that day.

IT IS EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen
his tools. People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If you are
'not quite well' or "half siclz' have you
ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause Of your sickness
It is easy to tell by setting aside your urine
for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence Of kidney trouble Too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, full
fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give
new life and activity to the lddneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts
as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you
need a medicine take Swamp p-Root-it cures.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar, or by sending your address and the
name of this paper to DIR. Kilmer & Co.,

Altoona, Pa, Dec, 21.--A freight train
consisting of 81 loaded cars, hauled by
engine 604 Engineer Fred Burket, Fire
man Michael Cauley, and in charge Of
Conductor Port Orner, passed Gallitzin
last evening on the way down the
mountain to this city. A slight rain
which was freezing on the rails as it
fell. made the track very slippery, and
before the engineer or train crew had
time TO apprehend the danger the
heavy train had attained a momentum
which could not be checked by the
brakes. In u minutes the y miles be-
tween Gallitzin and Altoona were COW
ered and at the frightful speed of a
mile a minute the runaway train
crashed into freight train standing
I'm the Altoona yard, directly in front
of the passenger station.
The wreckage piled up higher than
the top of the passenger station, and
covered all the tracks. About 90 cars
We're completely broken up, and the
Hol1daysburg passenger train, which
was standing on the tracks outside the
passenger shed, was thrown over on its
side. The engineer and fireman of the
runaway train were helped from the
cab Of the wrecked locomotive, and
both were able to walk away. Their
escape was almost miraculous. Three
other trainmen were taken to the hos

Heferman Was 'sNot In It.'

Buffalo, Dec. 21.-"Bin" Hefferman,
of Johannesburg, South Africa, who
has been touted as a second Fitzsim-
mons, made his initial appearance in
an American ring last night in what
was to have been a 20 round bout with
Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse. Hefferman
was the easiest victim that Ryan has
ever met. The men met before the
Olympic Athletic club, and weighed in
at $50 pounds Hefferman was tall and
lanlSy, with a long reach, which, how
ever, was no obstacle to the Syracuse
man, who landed when and where he
pleased. Ryan played with him for
three rounds while the crowd laughed
derisiyely. In the third round the
South African was sent to the floor by
a left on the chin, and took the limit
in getting up. He went down again
a moment later from a right handler
