cbamberIaine's Cough Remedy.

No Que who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip effectually and permanently, but
prevents these diseases from resulting
in pneumonia. 1t is also certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not dan
gerous when this remedy is given. 1t
contains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confidently
to a baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign
lands as well as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by Gibson x

FriphtfuI Accident.

A frightful accident, in which one
person lost his life and four Others were
slightluIy injured, occurred on the fair
grounds at Hagerstown, Md, yesterday
afternoon by failure of brake on the
"loop-the-loop' to work. Thomas
Goode, aged forty, of Paterson, n. j.,
who had been with A. t. Prescott,
owner of the '1oop-the-loop," for three
years, was almost instantly killed. The
injured were Roy Banf, Goodman
Walsh, of Hagers.own; Herman Mitsal,
and Charles Yessler, Of York, Pa. The
'Ioop-the-loop" had just been erected
and tested. Two cars, each containing
passenger, we're sent around and the
mechanism was found to be in good
working order. A number of tickets
were sold and the four victims of the ac-
cident got into the car and successfully
circled the loop, which is twenty-five
feet in diameter, requiring six seconds
to complete the trip from the top to the
foot of the incline. When the car
reached the foot of the incline, Gocde,
who held the brake lever, tried to work
it. but it failed to move. The car went
laundering by at a speed of thirty miles
per hour, crashed into the bumper,
| Jumped into the air, and then fell to the
ground, twelve feet below. carrying ter
feet of the platform with it. Two OF tn
passengers we're hurled out, but the
other two were penned beneath the car
The two who were knocked out raised
the car and liberated the other two men
Their injuries consisted of cuts, bruises
and nervous shocks. Goodies head wa
caught under the car wheel. His skull
was crushed, both jaws fractured, anC
the iugular vein severed. de died tel

indictment of Philip Wiuseimer, the
labor leader in New York, gave damag-
ing testimony against the latter at his
trial Yesterday before Judge Newburger.
Essie made an excellent witness and had
good memory for dates and figures
After telling the jury, at Prosecutor
Rands request, of being awarded the

for the plumbing work on the Chats
worth apartment house, he said the day
following the beginning OF actual work

out on strike in consequence OF which
the owner had awarded the contract

him | was willing to pay the waiting
time and made arrangements to meet
him the following day at No. II

Weinseimer my contract, aud he SAID,
that. as far as he could figure out, | was
going to make about $4,000 profit on
the lob, and unless he got SO, 600 no one
could start the job. He said he wanted
81 900 cash down, and added "No Sam
Parks business with me. l don't intend
to be caught with any checks on me, as
he did. The following day | told him
| would not pay 81, $50 in cash. FL
nally he agreed to my plan. On the
morning of December Slst | paid him
81 900 in cash, and my men went back
to work. also gave him seven notes
