QUESTION ANSWERED..

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civiliz-
ed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Biliousness,
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Pros
tration or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation ofundigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
ether aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form,
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can

DIsPATHEs from Shenandoah, Pa,
this morning represent sad condition
of affairs in that place, the result of the
prevailing troubles with the miners.
Rioting and blOodshed were conspicuous
parts of yesterdays procedures, and the
sheriff and president of the City Council
have petitioRed Governor Stone to send
troops to Shenandoah to protect life and
property. A strange feature is pre-
scented by the fact that the members of
the council refused to respond to the
summons of the president of the board
when he called the body together, al
leging that should they meet they would
be boyeotted by the miners and their
friends. But the strangest part of all
that the Governor would not send troops
until the sheriff and president of the
council secured the signatures of a
majority of the responsible people of
Shenandoah to a petition for troops.
Hence the sheriff, the law officer of the
place, and the president of council, re-
presenting the legislative body, were en-
tirely at the mercy of the strikers for the
time being at least. This is remafAa-
bic condition of affairs, and the outcome
is watched with interest by sll law-abid-
ing people. In the conflicts yesterday
the police were worsted and some who
were endeavoring TO restore order re-
ceiyed mortal wounds.

JUMPED THE TRACK.

As was stated in the Gazette, Pennsyl-
vlnia train No. II, the st. Louis mail
flyer, while speeding around reverse
curve at Pack Saddle, west Of Altoona,
Pa, yesterday, at a rate of eighty miles
an hour, jumped the track and was
wrecked, the cars piling up on one side
of the tracks and the locomotive flying
over a 1j0-Goot precipice on the other.
The big engine plunged into the Cone
maugh river and was reduced to mass OF
scrap iron. All three Of the mail cars
were broken and reduced to kindling wood.
Engineer John Kemmerling, of AltOona,
was instantly killed and carried into the
river with the wrecked engine. His fire
man, II. NJ. Nicely, also of Altoona, was
fatally crushed. Those badly hurt were
Conductor c. A. Howard, Brakeman j.
p. McGinnis. and three clerks whose
names are unknown. Mciinnis had an
arm broken and may be internally injured.
Kemmerling was pinned beneath his
engine crushed to a pulp. Nicely had
both legs broken. Kemmerling was
making a recordbreaking run at the time
of the accident. His train left Altoona
more than an hour late, and it is thought
he intended to make up a great part OF
this lost time between Altoona and Pitts
burg. He had already cut off fifteen
minutes from his fast schedule ut the
time the fatally occurred. The tremen-
dous speed Of the train was responsible
for the terrible result following the de-
railment. Eyewitness say that the
train collapsed when il left the tracks.
The fearful speed of the class 2 racea,
which hauled the flyer, made 1T literally
leap into the air when the drivers lost
heir grip on the rails. The engine flew
fifty feet before it touched the side of the
steep cliff over which it toppled.
Fireman Nicely owes his chance of life
to the fact that he fell from the locomo-
tive before it rolled to the river below.
The rolling engine tore down the wires of
the Pennsylvania and Western Union
Telegraph companies leaving both lines
without news OF the accident.

THE STRIKING of the band wagon OF
a baseball club by an Erie Railroad
train at Lesterville, n. Y, yesterday
and the killing and injuring of several
persons is described elsewhere in the
Gazette. A curve and passenger sta
ton obstructed the view and the band
wagon with its occupants rode upon the
track simultaneously with the arrival at
the spot of train This sad accident
will cause additional apprehension to
those whose avocations or pleasure cause
them to drive teams over the road lead
ing from this city to Washington or to
points in Fairfax and Alexandria coun-
ties. as they are forced to cross tracks
over which probably two hundred trains
pass daily. In the city's precincts gate.
and the slow running trains preclude ac-
cidents In measure, but at st. Asaph
Junction. the PoOr's House lane, Rob
erts's crossing and that of the Telegraph
road leading to Cameron run bridge, all
much-used highways, no safeguards are
placed. There have at times been Sc
rious accidents at all these points, and
complaints are loud against the author
tiles for not compelling the railroad
companies TO place ffagmen at these dan
gerous spots. At St. Asaph junction,
where one hundred and ten trains pass
at a high rate of speed every twenty-iour
hours, the approach Of south bound
trains cannot be seen by teamsters pro-
ceeding from this city by reason of the
switch house and signal tower. Several
teams have been struck at that place in
recent years, and n nagman would be a
great safeguard. People living in lower
Fairfax are compelled to cross the tracks
near the Mahoneyyille distillery where
trains of several railroads are passing to
and fro day and night, and, considering
the risk run, it is remarkable that so
few accidents occur.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 81. 1902

DIsGRACEFUL SCENES attended the
funeral of Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph in
New York yesterday, as was stated IN
the Gazette, which shows that the antlph-
athy to the Jewish race is as pronount-
ed in some parts ofthe new world as III
the old Such procedures afford sad
commentary on the boasts of great
republic of the twentieth century, and
are deplored by all right-thinking people.
AS the funeral procession was marching
by printing press factory several en-
ployes of the factory emptied pals oil
water from the windows of an upper
floor onto the spectators massed upon
the sidewalk. Pail after pail was
emptied on the throng, which shouted
and struggled and stampeded in a vain
attempt to escape Then overalls and
clothing soaked in water came down
from above, and even tools, scraps OF
steel bolts and dead cat were thrown
on the mourners. This enraged those
in the procession and stones and sticks
were thrown through the window pane
of the factory. Then some one in the
factory turned on hose and played 1t
Unfortunately all over the funeral
procession. At one time as many as
five streams were playing on the crowd.
Drivers of mourning carriages whipped
up their horses, trampling over pedes-
trains. Men trampled women and
children underfoot in their efforts to
escape. and the utmost confusion en-
sued. Scores of persons were found
about the streets bleeding from wounds
ON their heads or bruises on other parts
of their bodies. As the procession pas
sed through Brooklyn street someone
threw heavy block of wood from the
roof of a building into the line OF
mourners. Some of those who made
the attack on the Hebrews and precip
itated the riOting were arrested and re-
leased by the payment Of 50 and
$40 fines. when they should have been
sent on to the grand jury.
