Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Oct. 6.-The Philadelphia, Reading and New Eng land railroad, running between Camp bell Hall, N Y., and Hartford, Conn.,, and including the Poughkeepsie bridge over the Hudson, was sold at auction here to-day, under the foreclosure of a mortgage held by a Philadelphia trust company in the interest of the bond holders or the company. The order un- der which the property was sold by Pierre Brown of New York as referee prohibited him from entertaining a bid of less than $2,14o,o00, and this was the amount of the first bid offered by Thomas A. Thatcher of Philadelphia, representing the reorganization com- mittee of the bondholders.
 Robert A. Weir, who said he repre- sented syndicate of Philadelphia cap- italists, and c. P. Kurtz who repre- sented a minority of the bondholders who did not go into the reorganization, were bidders, The property was finally knocked down to MT. Thatcher for the reorganization committee for $3,S07 ,000.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean. Make a
 Test of Stuart's Dys-
 pepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
 apOlis Gentleman.

No trouble Is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspep- sia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame. are sur- prised that they are not cured by nerve medicines and spring remedies, The real seat of mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is the origin to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stom- ach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nerv- ous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others, the kidneys are affected; in others, the bowels are constipated, with head aches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with the ac- emulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 MT A. w. Sharper of No. 61 Pros pect street, Indianapolis. Ind, writes
 as follows: "A motive of pure grati- tude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a sufferer from nervous
 dyspepsia for the last four years; have
 used various patent medicines and
 other remedies without any favorable result They sometimes gave tempo rary relief until the effects of the med icine wore off I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being a book keeper with little physical exercise, but am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for I have gained in flesh, sleep better, and am better in every way The above is written not for notoriety, but is based on actual facts"
 Respectfully yours, A. w. Sharper, 61 Prospect street, Indianapolis, Ind. It is safe to say that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of the stomach. They cure sour stom- ach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn, constipation and headaches. Send for valuable little book on sto- mach diseases by addressing Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich.
 All druggists sell full sized pack ages at 50 cents.

ANOTHER INDICTMENT FOL

The Pennsylvania Railroads Magnifi-
 cent Service Between New York and
 Washington.
 Nowhere in America can be found a superior train service to that on the Pennsylvania railroad between New York and Washington. The most mag nificent equipment which American genius has produced is in constant use on this line, and all that the Pennsyl- vania railroad stands for in safety, in comfort, in speed, and In general su- periority is exhibited here. The Con gressienal Limited,' which is acknowl- edged to be the finest Pullman parlor train in the world, leaves West Twenty third street station daily at 3:20 p. m. The New York and Washington limit ed, another example of Pennsylvania railroad excellence, leaves weekdays at $50 a. m. Additional fast express trains leave West Twenty third street station at S:20, 9:20, 1050 a. m., APO 4:50, $50 p. m., and 12:05 night, daily, and 7:50 a. m., 12:50 and 1:50 Q. m. weekdays, affording a service as con- yenient as it is superior. Trains leaves Cortlandt and Desbrosses streets ten minutes later than Twenty-third street Pullman parlor or sleeping cars are at tached to all the above trains, and Pennsylvania railroad dining cars are attached to the Congressional Limit ed,'' the New York and Washington limited, and to trains leaving at 10: 50 a. 1n.. APO and 4:50 D. m. daily.
 The return service is equally com plete and convenient. In fact. the matchless train service between New York and Washington presents the standard Railroad of America" in it's best light, and shows on what a solid foundation the fame of the Pennsylva- nia railroad rests.

SHE IS NANCY.

So London Police and Members of the
 United States Embassy Believe
 What Has Been Found.
 London, Oct. 6.-Dr. Nancy Giulford, the midwife of Bridgeport, Conn.,, who is in custody here pending her extradi- tion on the charge of manslaughter in connection with the Yellow Mill pond tragedy, gave her age as forty-five and looks to be ten years older. Her hair is iron gray in color and therefore she cannot be the young woman known to a New York destist as Mrs. Catherine Wilbur, who went to Los Angeles, Cal, last spring, and who said she was go- ing abroad this fall. The police are satisfied as to the identity of the pris- oner with Mrs. Guilford, formerly of Bridgeport. They say her trunk con- tained a quantity of bottles, medicines, powders, pills and poisons, such as only doctor would have.
 The most significant find was an ob- stetrical instrument.
 The police also claim they recognize Mrs. Guilford by pictures which were published in the New York newspapers, It is noted, however, that the pictures represented a stouter and in every way coarser looking woman.
 The officials of the United States embassy are also satisfied with the identity of the prisoner.
 ANOTHER INDICTMENT FOUND.
 Bridgeport, Oct. 6.-At the special session of the criminal superior court to-day the grand jury came in again and found a true bill against Mrs. Ra- cana Drayton, the colored servant who is believed to have been concerned with pr. Nancy Guilford in causing the death of Emma Gill This afternoon the jury will consider the case of Hary- " Guilford. It is understood that no effort will be made to indict the young CT colored woman, Cora B. Drayton.
 State Attorney Samuel Fessenden said this afternoon that he did not think she was concerned in the case, although she might afterwards have been aware of what was going on.

Qualities That Spell Defeat.

We learn from DR.. Swallows Har-
risburg organ that The Tribune is a
"brazen hypocrite" and "HUMBUG,"-
the last named in capital letters. Our
contemporary has reached this conclu-
sion because We do not concur in it's
endorsement of private scandal as
weapon in politics. One of the pecu-
liarities of reformers of the DIR. Swal-
low type is that, while very ready with
criticism of others they grow imme-
diately vindictive and ,splenetic when
treated to a dose OF their own medi-
cine. Because we have ventured to
object TO the spectacle of a clergyman
and doctor of divinity using the liv-
cry of political reform as an excuse
for getting down into the depths of
scandal-mongering, we are rewarded
with Volley of that same vitupera-
tion which is so large a part Of the
Swallow movements equipment.

ent damage and we are consequently
perfectly willing to stand target until
there is something better in view. But

The Volunteers.

The proposition Of Governor Hast
ings to recruit up the regular army to
the legal limit and furlough the vol
unteers for three months pending the
conclusion of a treaty Of peace is one
that will commend itself to the good
judgment of the country. There are
reasons in abundance why the volun-
teers should be released either by fur
Tough or discharge Just as soon as the
government may safely spare their
services.
Foremost among these, of course, is
the anxiety of parents and relatives for
the soldiers return. This just now is
intensified by exaggerated fears Of
camp sickness and mortality until it's
existence in every community is a fac
tor to be rcckoned with. Yet if the
government feels that it would be un-
military to disperse its assembled vol
Unteer forces in response to civilian
pressure there is the additional rea-
son that it should not ask for unwill-
ing or dissatisfied service when there
are plenty of men without home bur-
dens or ties who would be glad to take
the places OF those volunteers whose
home necessities urge their honorable
dismissal. The governors suggestion
that the regular army be recruited TO
the maximum limit doubtless had in
view the fact that within week after
the furlOughng of the volunteers there
would be a movement among the
younger and more adventurous ele-
ment in the volunteers to get back into
active service. Under such conditions
the recruiting of the regular army ia
the present maximum of siXty-odd
thousand, or even to 100000 should
congress in the meantime so authorize
would present few difficulties.
We do not believe that the patriotism
of the American people has suddenly
evaporatCd or that the clamor for the
volunteers return would continue if
the public believed there was further
need of the volunteer army to effect
the purposes of the government. we
are confident that the whole movement
for the release of these troops rests
upon the belief that a way can bt
found to place upon the regulars from
this time forward the burdens of the
war and of the reconstruction period tC
