Troops to March One Hundred and
Forty Miles

Washington, August 1.-THE Second
division of the Second army corps, I'M
der command of General Davis, now
at Th~OrOughfare Gap, Va, is to con-
tinue it's march and eventually locate
at MiddletoWn, Pa. The plan .contem-
plated by Genera Davis is to march
his troops in a northeastern direction
to L~eesburg, Va, from there to the PO-
tomac and across the river at Point
of Rocks and on to Frederick. The
next prominent point on the route is
Emmitsburg, Md, and from there the
division will pass through Hanover,
York and Harrisburg, on the Middle
town. The distance by this route is
about 40 miles, and Genera Davis ex-
poets to average fourteen miles each
day.
The army wagons that started on
the way to Camp Alger yesterday to
transport the First division to Thor
oughfare Gap were hastily ordered to
return today. At Camp AIger it is
said that the orders directing the
movements of the troops may be
changed, so hat the Second division
will remain at T~horoughfare Gap and
the First division go to Middletown,
Pa, or hat the Second division will
proceed as ordered and the First go
to Sea Girt, N. J..
The typhoid epidemic is now believed
to be at an end, only five cases being
reported at Camp Alger today.

Norfolk, August 13.-The contract for
the erection of the gibbet on which
John Anderson will expiate the murder
of h mate of the schooner Olive
Pecker on the 26th instant was award
ed here today, a few minutes after tel
egraphic intelligence vas received
from Washington that President Nc
kinley had decided not to interfere
with the verdict of the courts.
The news was broken to Anderson in
his cell in the presence of the death
watch by one of his spiritual advisors,
Rev. J.. B. Merritt, chaplain of the
Seaman's Bethel. Anderson received
the announcement with great compO-
sure, and said with assurance that his
trust was in God and he was prepared
to die. He showed no sign of break
ing down.
Anderson's counsel, Mr.. Joe McIn-
tonsh and Colonel William Lamb, will
go to Washington again Monday to
make one final effort to have his sem
tence commuted to life Imprisonment,
but they have very little hope of sue
cess.

New York, August 13.-There has
been much of quiet improvement in
the dry goods market during the week.
The aggregate results of the week are
such as to encourage sellers and there
is a likelihood of added effort at the
opening next week. The week has been
a fairly good one for print cloths.
Extra 64-squares are still quoted at
&c. Etaple cottons are generally good
shape. Coarse colored cottons are
quiet at firm prices in all grades.
Blankets and fannels show a good
normal demand at satisfactory prices.
White goods are fairly active in many
quarters; printed fabrics have shown
little progress during the week and
ginghams are active.

D BY r PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-1t is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down' pain which
gradually grew worse, until I could do
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when 1 read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once foc a bottle Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt S o much better that 1
send for two more. After using three
bottles 1 felt as strong and well as any
one.
Il think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all e~xpectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkhau's
address is Lynn, Mass.
