A portion of the surveying corps of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey
came to town on Tuesday and made a
survey from point on the company's
track below No. Upper Lehigh to Il
site on Mr. Schwabs's land in the Third
ward. 1t is stated that the right of way
from the Upper Lehigh coal and land
companies will be granted when asked,
and as this was always the obstacle
heretofore when the Central wished to
reach town the prospects of the ex-

"preme in Webster.
ONE WOMAN HURT,
Miss Kate Shea Pinned to
the Ground BY a Limb.

Webster, March 19.-This town, in
common with others in Worcester coun-
ty, was ice-bound this morning. Ey-
erything in sight was covered by a
coating of ice and sleet, and as the day
grew, the conditions became even worse.
A large amount of damage was done in
the town proper, and the suburban dis
trict must have suffered badly.
Trees were bowed down and broken
on the PerryvilIe route of the Webster
and Dudley Street Railway. The first
car out on this route had an extremely
hard time. Broken trees covered the
rails TO such an extent in many places
that Conductor John f. Claren was
Obliged TO literally cut his way through.
Failing limbs lodge on telegraph, tele-
phone and fire alarm wires, breaking
them in many places. The fire alarm
service was badly crippled, and the fire
engineers adopted precautionary meas
ures in case OF Ere breaking out in any
part of the town.
Electrician Z. w Tourtelotte and a
gang OF men worked all day, but they
were seriously handicapped, as the
rain fell almost continuously and froze
as fast as it struck the wires. BY night
fall. the wires had been repaired to such
an extent that there seemed to be no
particular danger from fire.

"DEATH IN
THE POT"

Death in the pot. " That sentence
condenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked in the large copper kettle long
disused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land TO the other. But il was
soon forgotten. The moral of il is that
the purest Of food, put into foul vessel
instead of ninistering TO life NAV be-
come minister Of death.
II the stomach is diseased il is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullness after
eating distressed feeling in the stomach,
of futtering and sinking sensations, pal
pitation, dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation Not all
these symptoms NAV be present at the
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or aliuentarv tract.
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes it a medical maxim in exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to start
with the stomach. - Ii is upon this
principle that DR.. Pierce Golden Medi-
