Confirmed Proof
Residents of Connecticut Cannot Doubt What Has Been
 Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from achesIand pains of bad backs-from dis. dressing kidney ills-thousands have pub- licly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. People who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This tcsti- mony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. winifred Jenkins of 4e Fifth St. Ansonia, Conn, says:
 "I am willing to substantiate the former statement I made recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. Their use curpd me of shair cutting pains in the back and lamcness of the limbs, dizzy spells which made everything black and dark about me, and a general weakness due, I think, to a debiliated and weakened condition of the kidneys l have been asked by many people about Doan's Kidney Pills and have always assured them that for kidney trouble they cannot be equaled."

Disappontments For Yankees.
 The Americans suffered two disap- pointments in the heats of the POO me ter flat race, Lawson and Robertson of the Irish-American Athletic club being defeated by Roche, the Irish champion, and W. W. May of the Uni versity of Illinois being compelled to take the dust of the fleet Canadian Kerr. Considering, however, that the teen heats and took five of them, there is not much cause for complaint.
 In the heats of the 400 meter flat they took seven out of nine in which they started The two heats in which they lost in this event were won by Halswelle, who is considered the best man in England at the distance and who did the heat in 49 2-5 seconds, and Montague, the eX-champion of England, who beat Paul H. Pilgrim of the New York Athletic club in 50 1-5 seconds.
 J. R. Taylor of the Irish-American Athletic club. the colored champion of the University of Pennsylvania, made his first appearance in this event, and the remarkable ease with which he runs was an eye opener to the Eng fish critics. Taylor got warm re- ception and won his heat easily. over in his heat, has a somewhat sim liar stride as Taylor. but without the strength.
 Another gold medal went to Amer lea when Harry F. Porter of the Irish American Athletic club captured the high jump by clearing the bar at 6 feet 3 inches and beating the Olympic record made by J. K. Baxter in Paris in 1900, 6 feet ? 4-5 inches. After as- surfing himself that he was the win ner Porter went after the worlds rec ord. The bar was placed at feet 5A inches, just One-eighth of an inch 1 higher than the record which was made by NJ. F. Sweeney in New York in 1895. but it was just shade too much for him.
 The feature of one of the contests was the throwing of the discus, "as at Athens" or what Is known as the Greek style. This event. which was first added to the Olympic games pro gramme at Athens in 1906, resulted in the establishing of a new Olympic record, in which four contestants took part. The distance established by Jaervenen at Athens two years ago was 115 feet inches. This time one of the first of the American competiJ tors to swing out the platter. A. K. Dearborn of the New York Athletic club, sailed the missile 117 feet. These figures did not last long, however, for when the other competitors got going the record moved up rapidly, until in the final Martin Sheridan won with a

Murder Victim Cut Up by
 Train Wheels.
RICH WOMAN IS KILLED.

Only Few Days In Country, Wealthy Viennese and Her Daughter Are Taken to New Jersey Town and There Shot and Robbed-Daushter,
 Who Is Wounded, Tells of Meeting
 Relative Whom She Was to Wed
 and Going With Him to Place Where
 Tragedy Occurred.
 New York, July 22.-In a dark. lone ly spot close to the little station of Coalburg, sixteen miles northwest of Jersey City, on the New York, Sus- quehanna and Western railroad. train crew found the mangled body of a richly dressed, middle aged wo- man.
 Apparently she had been killed by an earlier train. The only strange feature of the incident appearing then was that fin the woman's clenched hand was $200 in German bank notes.
 Seven hours later, when the body had been t9ken to the morgue at Ridgewood, a good looking young girl of twenty, led by a resident of the countryside, staggered into the place, bleeding from four bullet wounds.
 She identified the woman as her mother, told the authorities of des- perate attack, in which the elder wo- man had been murdered and she her self wounded, and started them to work on one of the strangest mys- teries of recent years.
 A closer examination of the body showed q bullet wound through the mothers heart, which hitherto had been concealed by the mangling of the train. The daughter added the in formation that the $200 in German money was only the remainder of $2,- T00-the rest in American notes which the mother had been carrying. Victim a Newcomer to America.
 The victim, it was learned then, was Mrs. Ottilie Eberhard, a wealthy res ident of Vienna, who had been in this country only since last Thursday. The girl was Miss Ottilie Eberhard, who l had accompanied her mother from Austria.
 
 spot where the mothers body was found by August Eberhard, the girls twenty-five-year-old cousin, whom she had crossed the seas to wed.
 Just what happened there the girl did not know. At the height of a thunder and lightning storm, while they were walking along the tracks, the mother sank, crying, "Pve been struck by lightning"
 Then there was firing-yaguely the girl pictured three men as the assail- ants-and she felt the hot sting of four grazing bullets.
 Police Looking For Nephew.
 She fled at the command of her cousin, August. She did not see him fire any of the shots, though she knew he had loaded revolver in his pocS- ct. He ran away from her toward the place whence the spurts of flame had appeared. That was the last seen of August. The police are seeking him.
 The police do not think that the murderer will be captured near the scene of the crime: They say that any one who could display such cold blooded cunning as was shown in the murder plot, placing the woman's body after she was shot on the rail- road track to be cut in two, would plan to get safely away before the crime was discovered. It would have been easy for the murderer to get to Paterson or Newark by trolley car, and from either of these places he could get train for the west or south.

A Veteran Surgeon.

DR.. Charles w. Houghton called at
The National Tribune Office on his way
home from Fredericksburg. Few men
now living had the extensive experience
in caring for the wounded and sick
that came to Comrade Houghton. He
went out first as Surgeon of the 91st
Pa. and was with 1t in the charge upon
Marye's flights, where it suffered SO
cruelty. He took possession of one of
the houses at Fredericksburg on the
evening of that dreadful day, and
worked all night in his labor of mercy.
He was Chief Surgeon on the staffs of
Gems. Kane, Warren and William d.
Whipple and Surgeon-in-Chief of his
division at Gettysburg. He was subse-
quently Surgeon-in-Chief of division
in Washington in 1865, and then as
Surgeon OF the 214th Fa. was in charge
OF the Sherbourne Barracks in Wash
ington. He is now retired from prac-
tice. except among those of his old pa
tients who will not let him go. He is
as bright and alert as ever, but feels
indisposed to accept any new cases and
carry on general practice.
