He reported that some one afterward
said the town would be blown up.
Monday evening a terrific explosion
occurred across the river from Pres
tonsburg. Several large boulders were
blown three or four hundred feet inc
the air. most of which fell into The
town OF Prestonsburg. One rock crush
ed into the house of Mrs. Ghearhardt,
who was severely injured by shattered
glass. Another entered the roof of Sam
Steele's house, tore its way through to
the kitchen table, smashed all the dish

servant girl was injured, and narrowly
escaped death.
The officers of the town and county
crossed the river and arrested three OF
The construction Grey. The widest ex-
element prevailed when it was learned
that Mrs. Ghearhardt was probably Ia

SURPRISED HIM.
Doctors Test of Food.

doctor in Kansas experimental with
his boy in a test of food and gives the
particulars He says: Il naturally
watch the effect OF different foods on
patients
My own little son, lad of four had
been i'll with lung fever and during his
convalescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape Nuts and
its rather fascinating flavor and particu-
larly of its nou-ishing and nerve building
powers, so l started the boy on Grape
Nuts and found from the first dish that
he liked It.
His mother gave it 10 him steadily
and he began 10 improve at once. In
less than month he had gained about
eight pounds and soon became so well
and strong we had no further anxiety
about him.
AN old patient of mine, seventy three
years old. came down with serious stom-
ach trouble and before I was called he
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in a serious condition. He
had, himself tried almost every kind
OF food for the sick without avail
-. Il Immediately put him on Grape Nuts
with good. rich milk and just q little
pinch of sugar. He exclaimed when !
came next day. Why, doctor, never ate
anything so good or that made me feel
so much stronger I am pleased 10 say
that Grape-Nuts cured him. but he mad
TO stick 10 IT for two or three weeks
then he began TO branch out d little with
rice or an egg or two. He got entirely
well in sptte OF his almost hopeless con
dition. He gained twenty-five pounds in
two months, which al his age is remark
able.
Il could quote a list of cases where
Grape Nuts has worked wonders" This
doctors name Will be given by the Pos
tun Co., Battle Creek. Mich, on ap-
2Hcation.

BRIDGEPORT CARS RUN
WITHOUT PASSENGERS
Sheriffs Protect Crews From
the Strikers.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN MEETS
Passes Resolutions Favoring Arbitra-
tion, But Both Sides Remain Firm.
DeSerters Return.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, May 19.-Last
night passed without any. act of violence
worth mentioning in the trolley strike.
No ears wore run.
The first car started from the barns
on Barnum Avenue this morning at $50.
1t was protected by the usual array of
sheriffs, but no passengers We're taken.
No one is riding on the cars, and the
present probabilities are that there will
be little traffic on the road for some
time. AS a result of yesterdays ar
rests, fifteen men were arraigned in the
police court today on charges of intimi-
dation, stone throwing. or breach of the
peace.
Both Sides Firm.
The action of the board of aldermen
last night in passing resolutions favor
ing arbitration was looked on with in
terest this morning. It was thought,
however. that this would have little
effect inasmuch as the company and
the men. have apparently each taken a
firm stand from which they will not, in
ell likelihood. recede.
OF the fourteen strikers who went to
work for the company since the open
ing of TIE strike. nine are said to have
returned to the strikers organization,
leaving five old men at work on the road
Strike Breaker Arrested
One incident that has attracted at
tention was the arrest OF George Bard
we'll, one of1the strikers who took out
a car last saturday, on a body writ
charging him with fraud, obtained by
local grocer. who declared that the
man had obtained credit on the claim
that money was due him from the troll
ley company.
Bardwell was hooted and jeered as he
was led through the streets yesterday
by the sheriff. General Manager Sewell
settled the debt for him and he was re-
leased.

Ordered for Special Duty With
General Board.

Capt Henry n. Manney. L. S. N, who
has been ordered here for special duty
with the general board, is in Washing
ton for the third time during his FORTY
two years of service in the navy. 1t is
probable that this fact may be said of
no other officer of his rank.
Captain Manney's first visit to Wash
ington was at the time he received his
commission as an officer OF the navy;
the second time he came here was in
1894, when called to Washington on a
special mission. and he is now here
awaiting orders.
Long in the Navy.
Captain Manney's career is one OF
much interest. He is one of the few re-
naming "Cayuses' of the navy-those
who entered and remained In the regular
service without having graduated from
the Naval Academy. At the time of the
outbreak of the civil war Captain Man
ney was an officer in the merchant mar
inc and received a commission in the
United States navy He is considered
one OF the best navigators in the service.
About two years ago, while in COM
mand CT the Massachusetts at New York,
he received orders to>put out 20 sea, and
believing that the demand was impera-
tive and that he should take the shortest
possible route he took the big battlesnip
through He'll Gate in New York harbor.
It was the first time that naval ves-
sci of that size had ever ventured
through that dangerous passage. but
Captain Manney was convinced that II
could be done with safety. and the at
tempt proved that he was right.
He'll Gate Barred
The feat. however, greatly alarmed
naval officers, and led Secretary Long
to issue orders that no battleship should
again be taken through He'll Gate I'M
less under explicit instructions to do SD,
as 1t was feared that a less careful and
experienced navigator might run his
| ship aground and cause her great dam
| age.
