AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
The Cunard Liner Etruria Narrowly
Escapes Collision with IA Cruiser.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The Tribune says:
"The passengers of the Cunard liner
Etruria, which arrived yesterday, had the
exciting experience on Monday morning Of
narrowly avoiding a collision with the
United States cruiser Marblehead. At 10
o'clock on the morning named, when about
seventy miles from Sandy Hook, the Off
GERS on the bridge of the Cunarder were
startled by the apparition, as Captain Fer
guson described it, of q large vessel loom
ing out Of che thick clouds Of driving sleet
and snow on the port bow, only few
lengths ahead of the Etruria, and making
directly across the bows of the latter vessel.
Chief officer Barr was the officer on watch
and was on the bridge with Captain Furgu-
son. Instantly Mr.. Barr, divining the dam
ger that threatened, signaled TO reverse the
engines Then, when the Etruria had slowed
down a little the order was given to go full
speed ahead and, with the helm hard star
board, the Cunarder passed closely unoer
the stern of the Marblehead So close, IN
fact were the two vessels that, despite the
mist the officers on the bridges waved their
hands TO one another, in thankfulness, no
doubt of the escape from the collision which
for a few minutes seemed so imminent. AT
the time the cruiser was headed to the east
ward. She left Boston for Havana ABOUT
the middle of last week. On Friday, now
ever, the Marblehead, covered with ice, was
reported to have sought shelter AT PROVINCE
the incoming liner would seem to Indicate
that she had resumed her long journey
southwark, but had been caught by the biz
zard and was riding it out on the Long
Island coast Captain Ferguson, of tho
Etruria was averse to saying much about
the escape, but he remarked that if his ves-
sci had struck the Marblehead abeam, as
would have happened undoubtedly If the en-
gines had not been reversed, the cruiser
must assuredly have gone to the bottom.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The United States

knocked about by the gale. One boat was
carried away and another was smashed,
daVits were wrenChed from the places and
one big wave broke through the engine
room grating, pouring below and driving the
fremen and oilers up on deck. John Con-
nors. a seaman. had his leg fractured by be-
ing tossed across the deck. The Marblehead
will proceed to the navy yard for repairs.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15-The snow
blockade on all the railroads entering this
city is tonight practically a thing of the
past All divisions on the Pennsylvania and
the Reading roads are making effort to
run on schedule time with the exception of
the Stony Creek, Frankford and Newtown
branches of the Reading, which still
experiencing difficulty, but trains are sent
out at irregular intervals. Trolley lines in
the city are generally open tonight, but
suburban roads are still snow bound.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 15.-The railroad
blockade between Pittsburg and seaboard
cities is gradually being raised. The first
train to reach the East from this city since
Sunday was train No 10, on the Baltimore
& Ohio, which crossed the mountains last
night, arriving at Baltimore at 10 o'clock
to-day. Traffic was resumed on the Penn
sylvania road to-day, and all the regular
trains departed on time. The first train
from the East over the Pennsylvania ar
rived at $40 o'clock to-day. 1t was made up
at Harrisburg yesterday afternoon and was
scantily filled with passengers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The obstacles
to railroad traffic resulting from the recent
blizzard have been overcome to such an ex-
tent as to warrant the companies operating
trains to the North and West in announcing
that traffic will now be resumed practically
on schedule time. 1t has been an almost
herculean task for the railroad companies
to remove the great drifts of snow and clear
the tracks, but this has been accomplished
and passengers again will be enabled TO
travel without discomfort or danger. All
trains on the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Pennsylvania that were detained by the ele-
ments have arrived, and those which
started from New York and intermediate
places to-day have also arrived, though
more or less belated.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.-The railroads
reaching Baltimore are rapidly assuming
morrow 1t is expected that both the Balti-
more 6, Ohio and the Pennsylvania will run
at least their passenger trains on schedule
time. one track of either line is open be-
tween Washington and Philadelphia, and
several New York trains arrived to-day with
long overdue passengers and mail aboard.
Several Western trains also pulled in over
the Baltimore & Ohio. and reports from
along the line indicate that a number of
them are pushing their way eastward. Their
progress is necessarily Slow, however, as
there is but one track nearly the entire dis
tance between Baltimore and Cumberland.
Several trains started for the West tonight
with good prospects of making fair time.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Trafic was re-
sumed on all the railroads this evening and
all through trains are running close to
schedule time. Nearly all the surface roads
are in operation to-day.
BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 15.-The railroads
have succeeded we'll in opening up their
blockaded lines, and trains are now moving
with some approach to regularity.

BUILDINGS TOO HIGH.
New York Inquiry Committee Favors
Their Limitation to 200 Feet.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-After three years
of inquiry, study and consideration the spe,
cial committee of the New York Board of
Trade and Transportation has submitted a
report in which it recommends that the
height of buildings in this city should be re-
stricted to two hundred feet. This report
has been presented to President Coogan, of
the borough of Manhattan, with a proposed
ordinance. The committee had conferences
with the chiefs of the fire. health and
building departments as well as with archi-
lecture and business men. The report
recommends that on the widest streets no
building should be higher than two hundred
fcer and proportionately lower on narrower
thoroughfares and that dwellings be not

A PLAGUE OF The NIGHT.
Itching Piles and Other Rectal
Troubles Easily Cured by
New and Safe Method.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The most
common and annoying is itching piles, indi-
Gated by warmth, slight moisture and in
tense. uncomfortable itching in the parts
affected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give
temporary relief, but nothing like a perma-
nent cure can be expected from such Super
fetal treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not
only for itching piles, but for every other
form of piles. blind, bleeding or protruding.
The first application gives instant relief and
the continued use for a short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumors or the
small parasites which cause the intense
itching and discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because 1t was sup-
posed to contain cocaine opium or similar
drugs, but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free from any cocaine opium,
or, IN fact, any poisonous, injurious drugs
whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians because IL is SO
safe so prompt In the relief afforded and so
far as known the only positive cure for
piles except surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, the safest and the
most extensively sold of any pile cure before
the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell il at 50 cents
and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich,
for book on cause and cure of piles and also
hundreds Of testimonials from all parts OF
the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles ask
your druggist for a package Of Pyramid Pile
Cure ana try IL tonight.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 15.-The Associated

received the following from Jacksonville:
1.-The snow covered all of Florida as far
south as Tampa on the west coast and St
Augustine on the east. Vegetables We're
generally killed. 1t is difficult at this time
to estimate the damage done to orange
groves, but where protective measures were
not taken it is considerable. The trees were
in bloom and the blossoms were killed, and
the prospects for a crop next fall are de-
stroyed in a large portion of the orange
