Him Helpless.
Fror, ot.soo Rsp,.oliea,.. osope,s.o,s., u z.

Mr.. Edwin R Trip, the postmaster at
Middleheii Center, n. l.. recently had q
dangerous experience which Ieft him in a
helpless state His system was 50 much
shattered that it WAS feared he might never
recover
In an interview with a reporter of the
Republican,, regarding this experience which
had attracted considerable attention, Mr..
Trip stated.
'.In March, 1892, was taken with wha.
afferward learned was locomotor ataxia, and
was unable to walk, and / kept getting
worse until l lost the use of my arms
doctored with two skillful doctors but re-
ceived no benefit, and also used a galyanic
battery but kept getting worse and the doc
tors told me they could do no more. This
was in May and June, 1872. l gave up all
hope Of ever having the use of my limbs
again, and did not expect to live very long.
/ was unable to dress or undress myself and
could not get around the house unless | was
moved in a chair.
'.I think il was in June that read of the
case of man in Saratoga Co, N ". who
was taken very much as myself. He had
taken DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People which contained, in a condensed form.
all the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves, and had been cured by their
use

I'm Electrical Goods.
The fact that American supply COM
panies have received the contracts for
the English underground electric rail-
ways has been sariously commented
upon by the American technical and
daily press. but when the comparative
statistics of European roads and Ameri-
can lines are read the reason for the
preference shown for American cleo
irieai apparatus is apparent. In Ger
many, which leads Europe in This re-.
spect, there are only 400 miles of eiec-
iric railways; France has IFS: England

miles, on which 800 cars are used. The

United States, according 10 the latest
figures, j. i3.T6s. operated by oS5 COM
panies. BY these statistics il is appar-
ent tina; America possesses nearly Is
times as many miles of electric lines
n all Europe combined. and hence Il
is TO be supposed that companies " hich
have had the experience gained In the
equipment of these lines should be able

ENGINEERS AND ACCIDENTS.

A Superstition About Three Tfnes

4 man employed in one of the rail-
way offices in Washington has for years
been collecting newspaper accounts Of
railway accidents of all kinds, says Lo-
connective Engineering. He now has
thousands of these narratives, and from

to the conclusion that no locomotive
engineer ever came alive out of his third
disaster. This is all nonsense, OF course,
but there may be basis to truth in the
calculations.
