OF BANKING, KILLED.
Was n Prominent Pe~nnsylvania Re-
publican and N of Grants o
Third-Term supporters.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 30.-Thomas

a train at the outskirts of this city last
night. His badly mangled body was found
under the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge
spanning the Delaware river at the north
ern end Of this city this morning by three
men cunning in the marshes. Mr.. Powers
had been spending the summer at Atlantic

reaches this city via the bridge route at

roic build, measuring considerably over
six feet in height, and weighing about 2IJ
pounds. His friends express the theory
that he had gone to the platform to escape
the heat in the car and was jolted of while
the train was on a curve. Mr.. Powers
was sixty-five years old. He was a con-
spicuous figure at Republican national
conventions. and was one of the 306 dele

MR.. BOUTELLE'S AILMENT.
Blood Has Crystallized i'm the Veins of
the Head.

BANGOR, Me-, Aug. 30.-The condition Of
Charles A. Boutelle, member of Congress
for the Fourth Maine district and candi-
date for reelection, is a matter of great
interest in political circles generally. as
well as to the people of his district and
of all Maine. When Mr.. Boutelle was
stricken at Young's Hotel last winter his
trouble was gastric vertigo: he was never
afflicted with Bright's disease. When he
left his room at the hotel and made his
way to the parlor. where an attempt
was made by an attendant to restrain
him, there ensued a struggle which
caused a h~emorrhage. flooding the
brain with blood. This blood has long
since been absorbed, and the trouble since
has not teen as reported so frequently,
a blood clot on the brain, but a crystalliza-
ton of blood in the veins of the head,
distended at times so as to press upon the
mental tissues. resulting in a blurring of
the facilities, and occasionally suspension,
to some extent, of intellectual activity.
This specialization of blood in the veins of
the head, il is claimed, is being gradually
overcome, the natural tendency of the blood
to throw off impurities assisting materially
in the process, so that, although Mr.: Bou-
telle's case has been and is still serious.
there is ground and hope and good reason TO
expect that in course of time he will re-
he could safely resume active work for some
time after his discharge from the SAM
tarium. BY the advice of his physicians
he will take a long rest.
