spain's sunIsen ships FIoated.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat of the
century has been the raising of some of the
Spanish warships which were apparently shot to
pieces at Santiago. 1t seemed as though it was
utterly impossible to float them because of the
terrible damage inflicted by our guns, but the
task has been accomplished nevertheless. Dis
eases of the blood, stomach, liver and kidneys
frequently wreck the health in a similar manner,
so that there appears to be no chance OF recovery
But when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are taken
the disordered system is speedily restored to its
old time vigor and tone. This has been the re-
suit times without number. The Bitters will
regulate the liver, bowels and digestive functions,
purify the blood, and will fill the veins with the
rich red life fluid. You can buy this remedy in
any drug store, and under no circumstances
should you accept anything said TO be "just as
good

What the Pullman Company VIII DO
Under the Recent Decision of the ILL.,
nois Supreme Court.
The Chicago Chronicle says that the
fenced-in, model town of Pullman is to be-
come free community. The Pullman
Palace Car company has accepted the deci-
sion of the supreme court of Illinois sus-
tanning the contention of Attorney-General
Maloney The Pullman company has in
structed its attorneys to close the suit. The
courts decree will divorce the great corpo-
ration from everything save the manufact-
uring business for which it was incorpo-
rated. This will end as a feudal institu
ton the town of Pullman.
The towns churches and schools, its ho-
tel, its magnificent arcade hall, the market
house, the public library and 1000 brick
residences will be sold to the highest bidder
The Pullman Iron and Steel company will
be rsorganized. The brick works will pass
from the control of the company The
streets Of Pullman will be given over to the
authorities of the city of Chicago, and the
water works will also pass into the control
of the city. Pullman will cease to be a
hedged-in municipality. Its property will
no longer figure on the assessors books as
1850 acres with the improvements thereto. s"
In the scheme of disposing of the vast and
multiplied interests of the company that
the supreme court has declared must be
abandoned, preference will be given to the
employees to buy the homes which they now
occuDV.

HIS HEAD CRUSHED,
Night Operator Murdered with
a Coupling Pin

In His Office Near Bethlehem, PH"---
the Murderer Arrested, Discharged
then Re-nrrested---He Confessed the
Crime and Told the Horrible DetaIls---
said lie Had Been Drinking
II. Wurster, the night telegraph opera
tor for the Philadelphia and Reading rail
road company at Bngen, near Bethlehem,
Pa. was murdered at an early hour Satur-
day morning. The division despatcher's
office at Bethlehem being unable to raise
the Bingen office after 12:45, instructed
the conductor of local freight train to
stop at that place and arouse the operator.
The conductor went into the office aud
was in the act of grabbing the operator by
the arm to wake him up, when the dim hight
in the little office revealed the tact that the
man was dead He was leaning gainst the
wall, sitting upright in his accustomed
place, with his feet on the desk. His head
had been crushed.
The office presented horrible spectacle.
The floor was covered with blood, indicat-
ing that there had been struggle before
the unfortunate man had been killed. All
the drawers: had been r,ied, but carefully
returned to the desk after the robbery, and
the lifeless form had been placed in the
chair after the murder. Wurster was
about % years old and married.
Footprints in the snow led from Blngen
direct to Llewellyn Stout's home Stout
was arrested and was taken back over the
route leading from his home to the scene of
the murder, and his footprints correspond
ed exactly with those in the snow.
Stout was taken to!the Jail at Easton.
For time he maintained his innocence,
and so impressed the police authorities that
they released him. Detective johnson was
not satisfied, however, and arrested him
again Stout then broke down and made
complete confession. He said that when
he went into the office he had been drink
ing. He said that Wurster was angry be-
cause he had not brought him any whiskey.
A quarrel ensued, and Wurster struck him
on the shoulder. Stout went outside of the
Office and procured a coupling pin. He re-
entered the office, and when, as he says,
Wurster was about to strike MIN,
Stout hit the operator a terrific blow on
the forehead, knocking him back into the
chair. Wurster attempted to rise and was
hit a second time, after which he became
unconscious Stout dealt him another
blow, and then walked out of the station
and threw the bloody coupling pin under
the platform.
Stout returned to the Office a few min
utes later, and while Wurster was breath
ing he placed latter's feet upon the table.
He then rifed the money drawer and went
to his home. He tied the money in hand
kerchief which was saturated with Wurs-
ter's blood, and secreted it in an clubhouse.
Stout declared that he had no intention of
numbering Wurster when he left his home
Friday night, but he admitted that he need
ed the money.

Letter. Combination
Has Bought the Rhode Island LOcomo-
tive Works and VIII Fight the Loco
motive Power Trust,

A deal was completed Friday by which
the Rhode Island Locomotive works of
Providence, r. l., passed into the hands of
the international Air Power company, a
syndicate controlled by Joseph Letter the
Chicago financier, and the Rothschids of
Europe. The Cramps of Philadelphia are
stockholders in the company.
The newly-acquired plant will be used in
the manufacture of appliances for the New
York Auto-truck company, now installing
trucks for operation in New York, and
horseless trucks to be operated by com
pressed air. The company will also con-
tinue the manufacture of steam locomotives
at the new works and add an extensive
equipment to the present plant for building
steam locomotives. Compressed air loco
motives for use on suburban railways at
present operated by steam, will also be
manufactured at Providence, as will com
pressed air locomotives for coal mine haul
age.
The works will be opened as soon as pos
sible, and it is anticipated that 1900 hands
will be kept busy day and night after the
works are in running order. The company
will not join the locomotive power trust,
but will fight it, making its plant at Provi-
dence large enough to defy opposition.

was at my post as chief engineer on one of
their big passenger steamers. My first boat
was the K. N. Rice, which was burned at

run between Detroit and Cleveland.

chief engineer. 1t is great responsibility,
the position of chief engineer. on those bigI
passenger palaces. Thousands of lives are
held in the keeping Of the engineer. Few
realize the dangers that might befall them,
and on the engineer depends the safety of the
passengers. The anxiety causes a great
nervous strain, and the strictest attention isl
necessary during the trip. Not for a me.
ment must he lose his watchfulness, as thel
human freight above him is absolutely inl
his care.

out by the long nervous strain caused by
watching and worrying about the machinery.
No man could stand such nervous strains
over seven or eight years, while had been
fifteen years in destroying my nerve centres.
For three long years l was unable to move
