Confers With Street and Sewer Directors.

the Philadelphia division Of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, representing
j. X. Cowen of Baltimore, president
of the company, appeared before the
Street and Sewer Directors, at their
meeting Monday morning and inquired
why the city had not filled in the ap
proaches to the Fourth street bridge
over the railroad, which was completed
some time ago. Referring to the rropu-
sition to build a bridge over the road
at Sixth street, he thought the ap-
proaches to the Fourth street bridge
should be completed first.
President Simmons pointed out where
the city had made concessions for the
benefit of the company. After the
matter had been discussed at length
Mr., Simmons said the board would
make an effort TO fill in the approaches
at Fourth street within six months.
Mr.. Cassell thanked the board for its
courteous treatment. The work of
building the Sixth street bridge will
probably BIZ begun in a short time.

DRUGGtD AND ROBBED.

Harry Davis Found in an Apparently
Dying Condition ut seventh and King
Streets.
Harry Davis, aged % years, of Sixth and
Poplar streets was found in an apparently
dying condition at 8 o'clock Sunday even
ing at Seventh and King streets. His
gold watch. chain, ring and money were
missing and it is supposed that lie wus
robbed. The Phoenix ambulance was sum-
moned and he was taken to his residence,
where DIR. Theodore Becker of Fifth aud
Poplar streets, made an examination, after
which he announced that the young man
had been drugged, chloral having been used.
Restoratives were applied, and although the
patient was in n serious condition during
the night he was better this morning. He
did not have distinct recollection, how
ever, of what occurred and could not tell
how or by whom he was drugged.
He left home about tho middle of the
afternoon, saying he was going TO see some
friends, and his family knew nothing oil
his whereabouts until he was taken home.
When he regained consciousness he saiu he
had been assaulted on Fourth street neal
Shipey and heard man, whose name he
gave, say he had it in for him. He started
for home and when he reached Market
street saw man following him and he
knew nothing after that. An Investigation
has developed nothing. DIR. Becker is o.
the opinion that the young man will re-
cover. although he would probably have
died il he had not received attention When
he did, as his flesh was blue and cold wher
| he was taken home.

Old Age.

Old age as it comes in The orderly
process of Nature ia a beautiful and
majestic thing. The very shadow of
eclipse which threatens it, makes it
the more priced. 1t stands for eX.
perience, knowledge, wisdom and
counsel. That is old age, az it should
be. But old age as it SO often is means
nothing but a second childhood of
mind and body What makes the
difference? Very largely the care of
the stomach. In youth and the full
strength of manhood it doesn't seem to
matter how we treat the stomach. We
abuse 1t, overwork it, injure it. We
don't suffer from it much. But when
age comes the stomach is worn out II
can't prepare and distribute the
needed nourisnment to the body, and
the body, unnourished falls into aenl!e
decay. Dir. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is wonderful medicine fol
the old people whose stom achs are
"weak'' and whose digestions are
"poor." Its invisorating effects are
felt by mind as well as body. 1t takes
the sting from old age, and makes ole
people strong.
