The past few days have furnished an
experience with mosquitoes in this sec
tion seldom equalled and never sur
passed. The vicious insects have come
in a cloud, infesting every nook and
corner and attacking every living
thing from which a drop of blood could
be drawn. Men have been forced to
Quit work, horses and mules have had
to be protected, dogs had to be taken
into dwelling houses, and poultry
squawked during the night hours like
prowling beasts had seized them, All
outdoor work is largely suspended and
indoor the fumes of burning insect
powder indicates the persistent defense
agains the invading poets. The long
months of immunity are being made
up to us now, but il is hoped that
this crop will be short lived.-Cocoa,

PECULIAR P0IS0NS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.


of Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs OF cer-
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death tcalled by scientists
Ptomaines) are usually the result of
imperfect digestion OF food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is heavy,
sodden mass which ferments Uhe first
process of decay, poisoning the blood.
making 1t thin. weak and lacking i'm red
corpuscles; poisoning the brain, caus-
ing headaches and pain in the eyes
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ.
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids Qac-
tic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic
products; the most sensible remedy in
all cases of indigestion, is to take after
each meal one or two Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, because they supply in
a pleasant, harmless form all the ele-
ments that weak stomachs lack
The regular use of Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well di-
gested
Nearly all druggists sell Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets at 30 cents for full
sized packages or by mail by enclosing
price to stuart Co., Marshall Mich.

DIRECTORS HOME.
Emergency Hospital Needs Were Ar
gued for in Philadelphia.

S. S. Jones and William Walker, of
the Emergency hospital board of di-
rectors. returned home yesterday from
Philadelphia where they argued the
necessity of an appropriation for that
institution. They requested a main
tenance fund of twelve hundred dollars
and a sum of three thousand for ac-
cessories.
There is muCh talk about the wor-
thy institution ana Il is to be sincere
ly hoped that i'm the near future the
residents will tax" more interest and
show at least a little sympathy with
the directors work. These gentlemen
have worked untirinely and have not
even the thanks of the people to show
for their labors. Should the appropIi-
alton fail Emergency hospital will live
in memory only.

INQUEST OVER ANDERsON's BODY
Jury Said the Killing Was Accident
aI-The Other Killing.

Coroner Taylor held an inquest yester-
day morning TO inquire into the killing
Of Greanor Anderson by Willie Moore
His Jury consisted Of w. Fl. Joynes, C. p
Clarke. NJ. e. Candry. NJ Z. Caudry, Nj
w. Garrison. r. A. Woodward, and w. l.
Bradley. and the killing was carefully
inquired into.
The witnesses examined were three
young negroes-John Robinson, Joe
Evans. and Efey Shelton. These three
testified that they were in a buggy and
when they passed the crowd in which
were Moore and Anderson, the former
numbed out something, which neither OF
the boys could understand. and soon after
ward began to fire in the direction
Of the buggy. They stated that they had
said nothing to Moore. and had given him
no reason for shooting at them.
Robinson stated that earlier in the day
he had thrown firecrackers in a bonfire
over which Moore presided, and thought
that perhaps he shot at him because OF
that.
There were five shots fired by Moore
and one of them took effect in Anderson,
who was standing on the sidewalk. After
considering the case. the jury returned
a verdict that the deceased came to his
death from the effects of a pistolshot
wound in the brain, accidentally inflicted
by William Moore, who was at the time
firing a pistol in the street. loaded with
balls"
Moore's case was continued in the Police
Court yesterday, as was also that OF Gin
ton Brown. charged with killing Watson
Jones. This latter fatality was purely
an accident, and the Coroner took no ac-
ton concerning it.

MIR. HOPKINS LEAVES THE C. & O.
BECOMES General Inland Agent OF
New River Consolidated Coal Co.


Mr.. ]. w. Hopkins. coal and fuel agent
of the Chesapeake and Ohio, has tender
ed his resignation to President ingalls,,
who has accepted II, and he will leave the
service Of the Chesapeake and Ohio on
January 1st to accept the position of gen.
eral inland agent OF the NewRiver Con-
solidated Coal Company. He will be sue
ceeded by Mr.. c. w. Benjamin, who has
hitherto bsen the general western coal
freight agent OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
at Cincinnati.
Mr. Hopkins will not remove from Rich
mond. but will continue to make his head
quarters here, and has taken Offices IN
the Ebcl building, at the corner OF Ninth
and Main streets. AS general inland agent
of the New-River Consolidated Coal Com
pany, Ia will continue to sell the trade In
this and other sections.
Mr.. Hopkins is probably the best-post-
ed man on the coal business in this Sec
ton He not only knows the business
thoroughly. but Is an expert on Goals as
we'll He has been with the Chesapeake
and Ohio since 1873, when he accepted the
position of general agent at stanton. He
was subsequently transferred to Connel-
ton. and there learned the coal business
so thoroughly that in 1884 he was removed
to this city and made coal and fuel agent.
This responsible position he has filed
ever since, and in addition thereto, during
the years 1886 and 1887, he fulfilled the du-
ties Of superintendent Of the road from
Newport News to Clifton Forge.
Mr. Hopkins's appointment is one that
has given his friends much pleasure, be-
cause it greatly enlarges the field of his
usefulness but the officials of the road
deeply regret his retirement from its SER

TEST THE NEW SWEEPER.
II is Fitted Against the Old One on
Main street.

The respective merits of the new and
the old street sweepers were tested on
Main street yesterday afternoon. in the
presence of Messrs. Hobson, Camp, and
Gibson, of the Health Committee.
There was some difference Of opinion
as to the result, though, as labor-saving
device, 1.-The Charlton Improved" was
easily first. The new sweeper was set
to work on the block between Tenth and
Eleventh streets, and the old between
Eleventh and Twelfth. The new machine
travelled slower than the old, but 1t
gathered the dirt up as it went, and by
means of a huge wheel on the left side.
deposited 1t in tank which is attached
to the carriage. 1t requires only one
man to manipulate 1T, while the old
sweeper was followed up by i've men and
two carts.
The new machine scarcely swept as
clean as the old. but 1t had many other
advantages, for II did not throw dirt on
the sidewalk. and picked up bricks and
loose stones.
The men in the Street Cleaning Depart
ment do not like the new machine, and il
is more than probable that a strong fight
will be made in the Council against the
Introduction Of any more of them. II is
a heavy looking affair. and evidently re-
quires a driver who has become used to il.
The Committee on Streets will meet at
5 o'clock this afternoon, and the Commit
tee on Claims and Salaries at o'clock.
