Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by
chains of disease is the worst form of
slavery. George D. Williams, of Man
chester, Mich. tells how such slave was
made free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she could
not turn over in bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do her
own work." This supreme remedy for
famale diseases quickly cures nervous

backache, fainting and dizzy spells.

LOST AT SEA.

Schooner and is Lost Beaeath
the Waves.
Capt. w. r. Clark, of the schooner
"Pioneer," hailing from Chester, Pa re-
ported at the United States Custom office,
Monday. the loss of one of his crew.
A colored man, Eugene Robertson, of
Middletown, Del, was the victim. His
drowning occurred Saturday.
Captain Clark said that Robertson, who
is twenty six years of age. shipped with
him from Wilmington, Del, on the 5th of
July. The schooner left Finns' Point
Saturday with cargo of lumber and
stone. and shortly after the boat got
under way, Robertson lay down on the
deck. All the crew and the captain were
on the deck, and the latter was for awhile
engaged in conversation with the colored
man. He was not asleep. Shortly after
four O'Clock the fore-boom swung about,
and its coming over must have startled
Robertson, and caused the young fellow
to roll over, and losing his balance, fell
into the sea.
The crew witnessed the accident, and
the Captain ordered the boat hove to, and
lines were thrown out, while the yawl
boat was hastily lowered.
After sinking beneath the waves, Rob-
ertson did not come to the surface again,
and while the search for him was con.
tinued for more than an hour, nothing
was seen or heard of him. Robertson
was dressed in blue overalls and wore q
close fitting undershirt. He was smooth
faced, weighed about 195 pounds, and
was five feet. nine inches high. The
young man has father and mother in
Middletown, De-, who have been notified
of the accident.
