BARGE BLOWS
UP; 5 KILLED
Great Quantity Of Gasoline
and Naphtha Explodes.

Cleveland, O., May 2.-standard On
company barge No. SO. lying in a slip
south Of Jenerson street bridge, con-
tanning 100000 gallons OF gasoline and
nsphtha, exploded. burning Ave men
to death and hurting the blazing oil
over everything In the vicinity.
Five men were slightly burned. Fully
a hundred were working in the yard Of
the Great Lakes Towing company's re-
pair plant, where the FIVE men who
were killed were employed. How these,
together with others working for the
company across the slip, escaped from
fiery death approaches the miraculous.
The total property damage, 1t is esti-
mated, will amount to between $780,
600 and 100000. There was no insur-
ance on the new barge nor on the tugs,
dry docks, wharfs and sheds Of the
towing company which were damaged.
The latter concern Is insured against
accident.
The explosion transformed the slips,
docks, yards, boats and the river itself
into a veritable roaring furnace. The
fire tugs, aided by three engines, put
out the blaze after a three hours fight.

REMEDY
DARKENS THE HAIR
Gives Color, Lustre to Faded and
Gray Hair-Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
troubles. Almost everyone knows
the value Of such a combina-
ton for keeping the hair a good even
color, for curing dandrufT, itching
scalp and falling hair, and for pro-
noting the growth of the hair.
Years ago the only way to get q
Hair Tonic of this kind was to make
it in the home, which was trouble
some and not always satisfactory.
Nowadays, almost any up-to-date
druggist can supply his patrons with
a rea~dy-to-use product, skilfully
prepared in perfectly equipped lab
oratories.
An ideal preparation Of this sort
is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur
are combined with other valuable
remedies for scalp troubles and thin,
weak hair that is losing It's color or
coming out. After using this rem
edy for a few days, you will notice
the color gradually coming back,
your scalp will feel better, the
dandruf will soon be gone, and in
less than a months time there will
be a wonderful difference In your
hair.
Don't neglect your hair II it Is full
OF dandruff, losing its color or COM
ing out. Get a fifty cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from
your druggist, and see what a few
days treatment will do for you. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee
that the money will be refunded II
the remedy is not exactly as repre-
sented.

SOULS FATE
IS WITH JURY
Atlantic County Man on Trial
for Bribery.

Mays Landing, N. J., May flames
ID. Scull, city clerk of Somerspoint,
tried with Charles Steelman for alleg-
ed bribery and acquitted, was again
placed on trial before Justice Samuel
Kallsch on the charge Of bribing Carl
Garrison, a bay man, at the election.
The case was moved by Attorney
General Edmund Wilson. Garrison's
allegation was to the effect that Scull
gave him q ticket on election day, and
a week later handed him So. Garrison
said on cross examination that he ask
ed Soul for a ticket; that he voted it
without any thought Of pay; that there
was no opposition at the election, and
about a week later Soul saw him pass
ing, called him to stop and handed
him money. The defense c~ontended
that the tale of Garrison, the states
own witness, was not sufficient to hold
Soul on any charge Of bribery, but the
court allowed the case to 60 to the
Jury at the insistence Of the attorney
general.
Scull fatty denied the charge Of
bribtng Garrison and said he didn't
ever hand him a ticket. Il positively
didn't see the man." said Soul, "and
never paid him money for any pur-
pose"
The case was given to the jury and
no verdict has yet been reached. 1t is
said the jury stands 8 to 4 for acquit-
tai, with no likelihood Of reaching an
agreement. Justice Kalisch struck off
a special panel Of Jurors to try two
cases Of conspiracy against Scull and
Steslman, which will be moved next
Tuesday.
