Consnmntion Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, Of 325 W. Pearl St., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at death door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised les
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

Norfolk, Oct. 1S.-The oyster shuck-
ers of this port are rapidly going out
on strike, some 500 now being idle,
in consequence of the decision of the
packers not to employ any union men
after next Monday. The packers de-
clare that the shuckers cause contin-
uous trouble by meddling and walking
out every time an Objectionable en-
ploye is discharged BY Monday there
will be 1900 shuckers out. The strik-
ers are all colored. The strike has
partially paralyzed the oyster trade
here. About $4,000 weekly is paid
out now, and the lockout will effect
5000 people directly. Norfolk's oyster
trade is worth $2,000,000 annually.

According to Scranton papers serious
charges are being made against certain mem
bers of the Scranton committee that had in
charge the recent freman's state convention.
A huge profit, it is said, was made in con-
nection with the souvenirs. At the meeting
on Friday the committee in charge reported
that the proceeds amounted to ~, 700, while
it was charged at the same time that the
profits ranged from 81, 500 to $4,000. As a
matter of fact the sum of So 900 has already
been turned in, thus leaving, it is claimed,
the sum Of 81, 500 due to the committee. In
addition it is charged that advertisements
which were paid for did not appear in the
souvenir. There are many other charges of
a minor nature and some time will elapse
before satisfactory report will be prepared.
Prosecutions are threatened.
