Their Lives iM the Wreck.
 Reading, Pa, May 24.-This was the last day of the coroners investigation
 into the railroad wreck at Exeter Sta- tion. The testimony of Train Despatch CT James Rourke, yesterday as to the leaving time of the regular and the special from the outer station and that the special ran to Exeter in nine min utes and had gained four minutes on the regular in a run of six miles and his statement, 'I attribute the cause of the wreck to reckless running on the part of the second train No. 12,' mean ing the special in charge of Engineer Orrell had made deep impression. To- days testimony showed Despatcler Rourke's connection with the accident.
 J. T. Bingaman, assistant trainmas- ter, said that Engineer Orrell was ac~ companied by a pilot between Reading and Harrisburg because he was rot So well acquainted with the Lebanon Val ley branch, but that 1t was thought he was perfectly familiar with the main line. Trainmaster M. E. Blaine, said that he had charge of the traffic of the division. He had given no special or ders for the movement of .he second section. The two trains were to keep apart at least five minutes on the night of the accident. He said that the sac- ond section should have bean told that the first was late because of delay at Birdsboro This had not been done. This, he said, was the duty of the train despatcher. Several other witnesses were examined, when the taking of tes- timony closed. The jury then visited the scene of the wreck and measured the distance from that point to the curve around which the second section came.

Col. Sutherland Sued.

a. Fl. ricketts,, San Francisco
lawyer, has brought suit against the
Directors of the Holmes Mining Co.
RicSets slieges that there is a scheme
to defrauG .Ae mnagi>y stockholders
OF the Holmes cempanH, and he asks
the court 10 restrain the directors
from swiadling the other stoc!shold-
ers. Judge Bahrs issued restrain
ing order and on November 10th in
junction proceedings will be heard.
The complaint recites that the de-
PENDANTS are also directors of the
Water and Milling Co., the Georgene
and Princess mines; and says these
properties, except the Holmes, are
bonded for their full value. The COM
plant goes on to say that Col. Suth
erland has formed conspiracy with
the defendant companies which will
defraud the minority stockholders of
the Holmes. Ricketts, alleges that it
is Sutherland's purpose to consoli-
date all the corporations and convey
to a certain corporation, organized
by Sutherland, all their property and
assets, including the Holmes mine
This new corporation has no assets
of any kind, but is to issue stock,
which is to be exchanged for the
property of the mining companies.
The complaint alleges that the, plain
tiffs stock will become absolutely
valueess through the manipulation
of defendants, since the assets and
property of the Holmes are valued
at 1913, 900, while the combined
values of the other defendant corpo-
ratious are but $3.50, 900, and the
proposition OF the new corporation
is such that there will be loss of
sevcn-eighths of the value of Holmes
stock.

There is considerable danger, accord
ing to u German medical newspaper.
which recently discussed the effect of
drinking chemically pure water-that
as, water containing no dissolved salts
or gases. The action of pure distilled
Xater withdraws salts from the tissues,
which swell up by inhibition, and is
dangerous protoplasmic poison.
When swallowed it causes swelling
up of the superficial layers of the gas
trio epithelium, which die and are en-
foliated. That washing out of the stom-

be worse still. Waters occur in nature
purer than ordinary distilled water,
and hence the practical Importance
OF the subject to medicine. Water OBJ
tanned from clear, natural ice may
cause gastric catarrh and vomiting
when given to patients to suck. Ar
uhcially made ice never produces such
pure water on melting, and is therefore
SAFER. Guide books usually warn tray-
elers not to drink water from snow,
glaciers or clear mountain torrents.

poison has ever been found in it. The
simple fact is that the Gastein water
Is purer than distilled water, and has
in consequence the same injurious eff
