and the King Iron Bridge company for
the erection of wagon bridge to span

Quite number of people have left
Clifton during the past few weeks and
IN their haste to get away they forgot
to say goodby to old time friends. One
of them was stopped at Duncan by
deputy sheriff and coughed up $l25 be
fore he was allowed to proceed.
Another one was brought back and
liquidated in the sum of $50. Some
others got away, but left friends who
will remember them for some time.
Most of these people left good positions
and had plenty of money. Such con
duet makes it hard for deserving people
who need accommodations occasionally.

We're washed away by the floods of
January last and the river remained so
high for months that the new pipe
could not be taken up the river until
the last few weeks. The new pipe line
has been laid along the mountain above
the river bed and is safe from high

been supplied with water pumped direct
from the river, which is now replaced
by water from the company's deep
wells which is much purer and better
than that heretofore in use.

FIGHTER WAS CURED.

Trenton, \. J., Jan 4.-Jack Wal dron of this city, who. for several years was known all over the country as clever lightweight pugilist. and who received injuries in fight in 1898 which famous doctors were un- able to cure, announced yesterday that he was entirely restored through the miraculous powers of a relic of St Anne in the Church of St Jean Bap- tiste. New York.
 His injuries caused hIs body to droop to one side. and this produced curvature of the spine. He was ta- ken before the county board of medi- cal examiners in New York. and the members of the board could give no definite diagnosis of his case. Wal drOn was in constant pain from his afiiiction. and he went to the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, where Dr Az new and two other specialists. the foremost men of the university, exam ined him. They pronounced his trouble lilac disease. and upon their advice Waldron went 10 bed to remain for one month without moving.
 At the end of five weeks he expert enced no relief from this. and his sui ferins continued. He then went to thc New York church. Waldron says his pain left him the moment the relic was applied.
 Waldron is stone mason by trade. but he was unable to do any kind of work in his crippled condition. Since his visit to the church he has been employed by Simms X Co On the most laborious kind of mason work.

He said that he was inclined to be- lieyc that .Danaher was not true sport or he would have quietly settled everything with the ease months ago He- said that personally he did no, care about the winning of the Den nant. but wished to uphold the corsti- tutiop of She league. In fact. he said. he did not intend to fly the pcnnant during the season of 1905. or to con sider his team champions in any way. He said that he would not do so for an the money in the state of Connecticut
 "I think. said Secretary ORourkc that if the minutes of the last meet ing were not accepted. Mr Danahel would still be with Us.
