SALT IS A HOUSEHOLD REMEDY.

Common salt is useful as tonic,
an internal antiseptic, an external
stimulant, etc., besides possessing
other medicinal virtues too little
known and appreciated. A bag of hot
salt is very soothing in neuralgia,
toothache, earache, and similar affec
tions. Incroup, says the New York
Post, it is readable and harmless
remedy, the dose being teaspoonful
mixed with a tablespoonful of honey,
frequently and freely. For sprain
nothing will give relief more quickly
than cold salt water. Swellings may
often be reduced very quickly by fire.
quent bathing of the part affected in
strong brine; and taken moderately it
is an antidote for alcohol poison. 1t
is an excellent hair tonic. Salt and
water will remove tartar from the
teeth, and mixed in equal proportions
with soda, salt makes an excellent
dentrifice. In cases of dysentery, salt,
taken in vinegar and hot water, usual
ly gives great relief; and for cholera
morbus a teaspoonful of the strongest
pepper to the Dose For dyspepsia and
many other disorders of the stomach
salt and water will prove an effective
remedy; and for collie, teaspoonful
in half cup of cold water, taken as
soon as possible, is speedy cure
The same quantity taken before break
fast is very good. The West India
negroes declare that plenty of salt, adj
ministered at once will stop com

Daniel j. Sully, the great bull
leader, says to American spinne1s,
''buy cotton now before it is too
late.' He asserts that the govern
ment estimate is too large; that so
per cent of this years crop has been
engaged for export by foreign spin
ners, while our home spinners have
been paying far lower prices, and
have put off providing the necessary
cotton to keep their spindles moving
until now, they have to face higher
price or let their mills be idle. He
says as thigh as cotton is, cotton is
still low The demand will greatly
exceed the supply, not only this year
but next year, for there can be
none carried over. Sully as a ''Bull'
is a success; time will show him to be
wise in judgment, as he has proven
himself to be in action. Will the
spinners heed his advice, or curtail
their output?

follies of men that puzzled and anus

and shake midtown, when if they
would wait long enough the fruit

This is the last session of the old
board of supervisors. We part with
them with regret. While errors 1--WE
charge none) may have crept into
some of their official acts, for this is
but human, we dare say there have
been SO few as any board that has
proceeded them. This board has been
broad guaged, faithful and conscien-

duty. They leave the county affairs
in good shape, and will carry with
them in their retiring the confidence,

there was danger from powder stored in
the warehouse, and none knew what mo.

was no explosion of powder. The dyna,

ACCIDENT
HAPPENS TO
WHITEHAIR
EITHER FELL FROM RAILROAD
TRESTLE OR WAS KNOCKED OFF
BY A TRAIN.
Found in an Unconscious Condition and
Has Not Yet Regained Consciousness.
May Be Fatally Hurt, the Fall
Probably Causing Internal
Injuries.

David Whitehair, residing at The
Hutchinson mine, near Mt. Glare, was
found about o'clock Sunday morning
lying under the trestle at Sand Gut on
the West Virginia \ Pittsburg division
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad be-
tween this city and Mt. Clare, in an
unconscious condition. lie had either
fallen from the trestle or been struck by
a train and knocked off. The eircum-
stances indicate that he fell off, as
his lantern was found on the end OF
one of the ties. He was picked up and
taken to a house in the neighborhood
and in the evening was taken in wagon
to his home. His condition is quite Sc.
rious, and his recovery is a matter of
grave doubt, as he had not rcgaincd con
sciousness Monday.
There are bad bruises on his head and
body, and he is believed to be internally
injured The distance he fell was such
that the injuries received may prove ia.
tai.
Whitehair was evidently drinking, as a
bottle of wbiskey was found a short dis
tanee from where he was lying.
The unfortunate man has a wife and
three children and is a coal miner.

Traffic was suspended on the Parkers-
burg branch of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad between this city and Parkers-
burg, as the result of two accidents Sun
day, and all trains that got through went
by way of Wheeling and over the West
Virginia Short Line.
The first wreck occurred about Il
o'clock Sunday morning at CORVALLIS
and was in the nature of a rear.cnd
collision of>two fcright trains. A num-

up.
Later in the day the rclT train com

the wreck was wrecked at Crawford tun-
mel No. 20 a half mile east of Petroleum

trestle but it broke down under the cans
and they were precipitatcd in heap

scene of the collision 10 help clear i
away. The train was going at q hight
rate Of speed when the bridge collapsed
There were fifteen men on The precpi
tated cars, but thy all miraculously Is,
capped death or serious injury. They camc
out of the wreck with only scratches and
bruises, which amount to but little. Thi,
accident happened about 2:3O O'Clock in
the afternoon.
1t appears that the engine LETT the
track as the trcstle was reached and
pushed The trcstlc down with the cars
that followed, and the cars and appara.
tus were landed in the bottom OF the gul,
ley, while the engine jumped the space
ami landed on the other side all right.
The men were thrown with great vio,
lcncc, some OF them far away from the
train, but their injuries were not such
as to prevent them from assisting in rr
building The trcstlc.
The Sunday afternoon accommodation
west ran as far rs CORVALLIS, where
transfer was made and upon its return il
arrived here at II o'clock ut night. All
trains east after that on TINT day Were
abandoned, as we're they also Monday

causing much Inconvenience in travel.
