terrors Of sickness from its mldest form up
to It's most excruciating horrors.

old and If the old body of corruption and poi
Son is not removed immediat. ly, one cannot
have pure blood and a healthy existence--no
vigorous constitution can continue without a
sound body. and no sound body can remain so
without sound, healthy kidneys.
When the system is run down. a tonic must
be taken, il one would get we'll. There is no
better or surer point to begin at than the kid
neys, and there Is no sure health for the kid
neys except through that well-te healing
tonic, Morrow's KidDeoids.
Morrow's kidneoids are prepared scientif-
eally from remedial agents, tested for their
especial curative and tonic action upon the

venlent size. They are made in tablet form
yellow IN color, and are agreeable even 10 the
most delicate stomach.

all sickness will be avoided. Don't let sick
ness creep in. There is no knowing what Sc

human body cannot stand everything-it's a
delicate affair and must have needful attention
and considerable action.
Among pure effective RENE dies none hold so
prominent a place as M0rrow'g Kidneoids

RUM THE CAUSE
OF Serious Runaway and Smashup on Winthrop
Hill. Sunday Evening.

Two well-dressed respectable APP
pearins young men came up from Car
diner, yesterday afternoon, in team
hired from NJ. Burns & SON the Gardi-
ner livery stablemen. and attempted to
paint the town a high vermillion color
during the afternoon and early even
ing
They imbibed sundry liquid sub
stances. which began to turn their
wheels Just before O'Clock, they
made for the team which had been
left hitched 10 the rail side of the court
house. They got into the sleigh all
right and in turning round tbs. horse
started for the sidewalk by Randalls
paint shop. Il struck a drift and up
set the men and then started on the
dead run down the hill. Just at the
letter-boX it attempted to turn into
the street but fell down. One of the
men ran and caught it just as the horse
gained his feet.
The harness was somewhat broken
but the sleigh was uninjured The
horse didn't fare as well, however. for
in the struggle To get up it severed an
artery just above the ankle on the left
hind foot They took it to Cummings
K Prescott's stable and summoned DR..
Fairbanks, who picked the artery up
ana stopped the horse from bleeding
to death.
1t will be a good lesson to the young
fellows. for the animal will have to re-
main here several days before being
taken home. during which time they
will have to pay its board as we'll as
the hire.

and to decline to stand as a candidate.

MIR. Williams and the reporter started
from the cpmpany's commodious Office
on Water street, Saturday morning, for
the manufactory on Bond street,

initiated INTO the mysteries of the
complicated machinery used in the
making Of the lluminant.
1t is but five minutes walk to the
factory, and even before the place is
reached there is no doubt on the minds;
of even the unnitiated, that the plac"
is being approached. 1t is commonly
known that the vicinity of q gas house
is not the most desirable place TO live,
not so much on account of the dangers,
as from the odors which to many are
very dsa2reeable. yet after a short
time they are not noticed-there's moth
ing like getting used to a thing. 1t is
probably inferred thai real estate in
the immediate vicinity is not valued
so highly as a corner lot in the heart
of the city, and palatial residences are
not often erected near the places.
The gas house itself is brick struc-
ture. one story high in one part ana
two the remaining way. At the end is
a wooden shed used as a coal reposi-
tory. only one door and one window

Movements of the Warships as Pub
1ished by the Madrid Press.
New York, March PA dispatch
to the World from Madrid says: The
Madrid papers, including the minis
terial organs, the Correro, Correspond
encia, Liberal and the Globe, print by
permission these items of news regard
ing naval preparations:
The flying squadron is detained at
the Canary islands for two reasons; one
is the necessity for repairing the tor
pedo vessel Arcte, and the other is to
give time to the battle-ship Cristobal
Colon to coal and complete her outfit
before joining the squadron at Las
Palmas to escort it to Porto Rico.
Orders have been given to hurry the
preparations of the battle-ships Pelayo
at Marseilles; Emperor Carlos V, at
Havre, and Newmanca and Victoria at
Cartagena, to enable them to join Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron Of evolution
at Cartagena.
The squadron also includes the first
class cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa, the
second-class cruiser Alfonso XII, the
fourth-class cruisers and the new first
class cruiser Varez, of 1000 tons,
bought from Italy.
Another squadron is to be formed at
Cadiz, with three torpedo vessels, built
in Spain; two destroyers, recently
handed over by English firms, and the
torpedo gunboat Dena Maria Melina,
whose trial trips at Ferrol this week
showed 10 knots. For the present the
second flying squadron and the fleet Of
Admiral Cervera will remain on the
coast of Spain.
Other ports in the peninsula have
called the governments attention to
providing land and submarine defenses,
offering to contribute part of the ex-
pense.
No marine reserves have been called
out yet, as two battalions of marines
are returning from Manila. The
crews of the coast guard vessels at the
depots and arsenals of Ferrol, Cadiz
and Cartagena have enough men avail
able to man the new war vessels.
The minister of marine, Admiral
Bermejo, has said frequently of late
that he declines to make known his
preparations. He wants the country to
understand that they are intended only
to meet any emergency on the purely
defensive and pacific line of conduct,
all along proclaimed by the present gov
ernment. The papers say nothing of
the army DreDaratiOnS
