THIRTEEN WERE suFFocATEp.
by Fire on Board the Mallory Line
Steamer Ieo.a

Steamer Leona.
New York. May 10.-The Mallory line
steamer Leona, which left her pier on
Saturday, bound for Galveston, took
fire at sea, put back, and arrived in
port last night with IL corpses on
board. The dead were 10 steerage pas
sengers and three members of the
crew, who succumbed to terrible fire
which occurred off the Delaware capes
at an early hour yesterday morning.
Those who are dead were penned up
below decks, and although frantic ef-
forts were made by the officers of the
vessel to save them the fire had gained
such terrific Roadway before the dam
ger was discovered that all escape was
cut off
Captain Wilder was in command,
with First Mate Wallace and Second
Mate Sweeney assisting. The chief en-
gineer was Taylor, with three assist
ants, and crew of rs men, including
firemen and deckhands.
The steamer carried in her cargo
many bales of cotton. 1t is not certain
how the fire originated, but when it
was discovered it burst forth with
such fury that it was impossible to
reach the steerage until too late to save
life
There was no excitement among the
saloon passengers. Most of them pack
ed their luggage and carried it from
their staterooms into the main saloon.
They gathered in the saloon and re-
manned there, and after the officers had
assured them that there was no i'm
mediate danger they took matters
quietly.
The flames gained steadily. They
began to work aft through the cargo
on the main deck. Then there was a
fresh burst of flames, and the sailors
were driven back from where they
were holding lines of hose The fire
crept up through cracks about the
pilothouse and then into the house it.
self. The quartermaster stuck to the
wheel until the flames almost envelop-
ed him.
The dead are: Passengers: Bridget
Sullivan, B. Cotrane, Maria Hardo and
her two children, Mrs. C. Guzza and
daughter, Joseph Solomonson's sister,
one daughter of ]. Vlacikek and
Sophie Schmalz. Crew: Alfred Lang,
waiter; C. Hartman, butcher; H. Har-
vey, waiter.

The French say sit is the impos.
sible that happens" This has prov
ed to be the case with the Mount
Lebanon Shakers. The whole scien
tific world has been laboring to
cure dyspepsia, but every effort
seemed to meet with defeat. The
suffering from stomach troubles has
become almost universal. Multi
tudes have no desire for food and
that which they do eat causes them
pain and distress. Sleepless nights
are the rule and not the exception,
and thousands OF sufferers have be-
come discouraged.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon
recently came to the front with
their new Digestive Cordial, which
contains not only food already di-
gested, but is digester of food.
1t promptly relieves nearly all
forns of indigestion. Ask your
druggist for one Of their books.

SOME LAWS OF THE ROAD.
Facts That Are Not Known by All who
Go Upon the Highways.

Go Upon the Highways.
The talk of the many thousands is often
turned toward the faw of the road, for
there is no one who does not make use of
roads, either to ride, drive or walk upon.
For the protection of the travelling public
1T is necessary that certain rules regulat-
ing travel upon the public highways be
generally observed
Our statutes do not require a traveller to
keep upon any particular part of the road,
nor TO turn out in any certain direction.
But it is universal custom in this country
for vehicles and animals under the charge
of man to take the right side of the road
when meeting others, If it is reasonably
practical to do so. A team should in gen
eral keep the right side, whether meeting
another or not Yet, when two are going
IN the same direction, and one wishes to
pass the other, he should pass on the left
side, as the first team has the right of way
and cannot be expected to deYiate from his
course upon the right side. One passing
another must use great care to avoid a col
lision, as nothing but necessity will war
rant him in doing this, for both, going in
the same direction, belong upon the right
side, and by any deviation from his proper
side one assumes all risk of the expert
ment. The rule must be very strictly OBJ
served at night, or when, by reason of
storm or fog, it might be difficult to dis
tinguish others approaching.
A traveller on foot or ON horseback must
give way to a vehicle, and a lightly loaded
team must give way to heavily loaded
one, but a team with a heavy load ought
in certain cases to stand still so as to al
low lighter vehicle to pass. The driver
of horse must use ordinary care in its
management, and is liable for all damage
caused by careless driving, and if he leaves
his team he must use ordinary care in
hitching it, for if horse left unhitched
starts and occasions damage the response
bility rests upon him who neglected to
hitch it. But if a team is hitched with
ordinary care and is frightened by some
unusual disturbance, as by runaway
team running against it, and the team so
hitched breaks away and in turn runs and
causes damage, no liability rests upon him
who carefully hitched his horse.
The movement of sleighs and sleds upcu
the snow being comparatively noiseless, it
Is customary to attach bells to them or to
the horses, and the want Of bells would
render person liable for damages Bicy-
Giles are regarded as vehicles and are sub
ject to the same rules-they must give way
to heavier vehicles, and foot passengers
must in turn give way to them. Massa-
chusetts laws require bells to be attached
to all bicycles. AS no one is obliged to
build fences next the highway, the use OF
which is common to all people who choose
TO travel upon it, SO drovers of cattle and
other animals are not responsible for dam
age by their travelling herds if reasonable
care be exercised in their management

Two Killed by Mine Gns.

Oxford, N. J., May 13.-The lifeless
bodies of Adam Snyder and Barney
Rider were found at the bottom of the
zinc ore mine on the Raub farm, about
one and a half miles from this place,
yesterday. The men had been en-
ployed by prospectors, and went to
work Tuesday evening. At 10 o'clock
they were hoisted from the mine, and
after taking their lunch returned to
their work. That was the last seen of
them alive. Philip Rapp, who had
charge of the hosting engine, says
the men gave him no signal from the
time they went down into the mine
after supper When the day shift was
lowered yesterday they found the dead
bodies of their companions. They had
been overcome by gas. Both leave fam

Col. Hans G.. Hegg.

The Bank of Nillmar is adorned
with a large and handsome picture of
Col. Hans c. Hegg. Col. Hegg was
colonel of the Fifteenth Wisconsin
Infantry. The regiment was made up

Hegg was Scandinaviau-aud
was one of the three hundred fighting
regiments of the war of the rebellion.
Gov. A. E. Rice served in it, and the
G. A. r. Post here is named in honor
of Col. Hegg.
Col. Hegg fell while leading his bri-
gade on the battlefield of Chicamauga,
September 4, 1868. The battlefield has
since been turned into a national p ark,
and a monument made out of cannon
balls has been erected by the govern

very spot where he fell. We will get
a drawing of the monument later on
