the De Armit mines pending the de-

five men arrested on Saturday.
WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 24.-The
strikers suffered further losses in the
Kanawna Valley in the upper Laup
creek region and along the New river
to-day. In Kanawha 200 men went
to work to-day, which leaves very few
men out. Fairmont increased it's out

A Remarkable Cure Of Chronic
DiarrhOea.

In 1862, when I served my country
asa private in Company A, 18th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. 1t has given me q
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief, Not long ago a
friend sent me q sample bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and after that 1 bought and
took so cent bottle; and now l can
say that am entirely cured. cannot
be thankful enough to you for this great
Remedy, and recommend it to all suf-
fering veterans. If in doubt write me.
Yours gratefully, Henry Steinberger,

The Futurity Stakes.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-The great
$780, 900 Futurity, the biggest Of all two
year.old prizes, will be decided at
Sheepshead Bay about 4 o'clock this
afternoon at the opening of the Coney
Island Jockey Clubs autumn meeting.
Rain poured down in torrents at Sleeps
head Bay last night and early this
morning, and turned fast track into
deep mud. 1t cleared nicely overhead,
however, and the prospects this morn
ing were excellent for a fair day.
Gibraltar ia the chief dependence of the
Thompson string, and Scherrer will
have the mount The Huguenot will
have Martin in the saddle and will get
a lot of urging. L'Alouette will be we'll
ridden, for Clawson is about the best
at q finish. Many good judges incline
to the belief that the winner will be
found in this stable. Marcus DAILY, too,
has announced three starters. Taral
will have the mount on Grand Sachem
and he will not lack for hackers. Grand
Sachem's record is not encouraging, but
he may do we'll to-day. 1t is said that
Hennessy will ride Amazonian. James
R. Keene's Uriel has been more
or less disappointment this year. On
the other hand Cock Robin has done
some good work, and it would not be
surprising to find him in the front rank
at the end. Frohman and Arquebus are
doubtful starters which will release
Doggett to ride Demagogue, who has
many admirers. Rowland, according
to al accounts, is very fast colt, al
though not quite in the shape desired
for so big contest. He will be ridden
by Perkins. One of the most dangerous
horses in the race is Previous, who will
be we'll ridden by Simms. Brisr
Sweet has been scratched.

THE negroes of Staunton have de-
clared against the recent action of the
republican State committee and also
against the treatment their race has
received at the hands OF the white
managers of their party, and say they
will have State convention, without
any fusion with gold bugs or populists.
But the managers to whom they refer
laugh at them, we'll knowing that at
the next election, all Of them will do
as they always have done, vote the
straight republican ticket and forget
all about the treatment of which they
now complain.

THE G. A r.

A dispatch from Buffalo says: 1.-THE
delegation from Richmond, which
comes to invite the Grand Army OF the
Republic to meet in Richmond in 1899,
arrived yesterday in this city, where
the encampment of '97 is beginning.
There are eighteen Richmond men in
the party. A prominent member Of
the delegation is Walter II. Savary,
editor and owner of the Richmond
State, who said his committee was al
ready doing hustling missionary work,
and had every reason to believe it
would get the encampment in '99.
Not delegation approached so far but
was in favor of Richmond, Mr.. Sayary
added, and several members of the
committee which will have the selec-
ton of the place are pledged to Rich
mond."

IT Is very hard that friends and rela.
tives, and those upon whom others are
dependent, should be manned or killed
by railroads; but, for all that, in such
cases justice and equity should be OBJ
served just as we'll as in any other.
Every body knows that railroad trains
move at rapid speed, and all intelligent
people when approaching a railroad
crossing always "looks out for the loco
motive" It is the duty of the engine
driver to go ahead when the track is
clear in front Of him, and if unobserv-
ant, distracted or reckless people drive
on the track, when the engine is speed
ing on its way, and before he has time
to stop it, fair minded men will not
