A new mam
can be made, out of one that’s
“used-up,” bilious and dyspeptic.
It’s done by Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It starts the
torpid liver into healthful action,
purifies and enriches the blood,
cleanses, repairs, and strengthens
the system, and restores health and
vigor. As an appetizing, restora-
tive tonic, it sets at work all the
processes of digestion and nutri-
tion, and builds up flesh and
strength. It’s the only Blood and
Liver Remedy that’s guaranteed, in
every case, to benefit or cure. If it
doesn’t do all that’s claimed for it,
the money is promptly refunded.
But it keeps its promises—that’s
the reason it can be sold in this
way.
“Discovery” strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Spitting of Blood,
Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred affec-
tions. Don’t be fooled into taking
something else, said to be “just as
good,” that the dealer may make a
larger profit. There’s nothing at
all like the “Discovery.”

Major Tlrrockmorion, Commandant
at Fort Schuyler, Under Arrest.
It Is Assorted That He Has Been Guilty
of Financial Crookedness, Although
He Says That He “'ill Be Able
to Prove His Innocence.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15,—Army circles wor:
ieeply stirred over the announcement thr';
' very grave charges of issuing worn-.13.
:hecks and duplications of pay voucher
had been brought against Major Char-Ir-
B. Throckmorton, commandant at For
Schuyler, and that he had been placed u‘
:lcr arrest and relieved of his commai;
pending an investigation.
The order of arrest was issued by Mair.
General Howard, acting under instru'
tions from lVashington. The char-gr.-
have been preferred by Inspector Genera
Hughes and Payniaster in Chief Smith, (
the department of the east. Major Cale
assumed command of the post. Majr
I‘hrockmorton will remain under arre:
until General Schofield has made an it
quiry and decided whether there will be
court martial.
What the Complaint Charges.
The complaint alleges that Majo
Throckmorton made two duplicates oi
his vouchers for his August pay of thi-
ycar. In other words, be borrowed money
from three persons, giving as security a
voucher for his one month’s pay. One given
to a private citizen, as is alleged, we
made payable on Aug. 14, although Majo
'l‘hrockmortou’s pay was not due until tla.
last day of the month. This is contrary.
to an army regulation, which says that a1
officer shall not liypothecate his account
until actually due.
The holder of the voucher payable on
Aug. 14 complained to the paymastcr’s de-
partment that his account had not been
paid. The matter was investigated, and
it resulted in Major Throckmorton’s ar-
rest and suspension from his command.
’ilro I‘rotested Checks.
Major Throckmorton is also charged
with having drawn checks on the Lincoln
National bank, of this city, although he
had no account there at the time. This
he explained by saying that a friend who
owed him money had promised to make a
deposit there in his (Major Throckmor-
ton’s) name. He also expected a deposit
to be made there to his credit from funds
realized from his wife’s estate. Neither
of those expected deposits was made, and
Major ’l‘hrcckmorton had his cheeks pro-
tested wlicu he drew on the bank.
These he immediately took up on their
return from \Visconsiu, where they had
been sent for deposit in Lieutenant
Schumm’s bank in Sauk City, Lieutenant
Schumm is in the commissary department
at Fort Schuyler, and the checks, three in
number, amounting to $60, had been paid
him for Major Throckmorton’s mess ex-
penses. Lieutenant Schumm gave Major
’l‘hrockmorton a receipt for the money
and notary fees, but kept the protested
checks as eivdence. Last summer several
checks signed by Major Throckmortou
came to the Lincoln bank for collection,
although he had no account there.
Major General Howard’s Statement.
Major General Howard was found at his
office on Governor’s island. He was asked
l'cr the official facts in the case against
.‘xlajor Throckmortou. He said:
“It is a very sad case, and Major Throck-
eiorton has my warmest sympathy. Per-
haps the suspicious circumstances can be
A explained away. It all remains with Gen--
31:31 Schdfieldfi If Major'Thro'ckmorton can
give his superior officer any satisfactory
explanation, in all likelihood the Case will
be dropped. If not, then it is General Scho-
field’s duty to request the president to
order a court martial, in which the case
will be thoroughly sifted. Even then
Major Throckmorton may be let off with
a reprimand, or even be honorably acquit-
ted.”
“How long have the changes been pend-
in g?”
“About two weeks. I held the papers a
week before forwarding them to VVashing-
ton, in the hopes of receiving a. written ex-
planation from Major Throckmorton. The
whole truth of the matter,” said General
Howard, “is that Major Throckmorton
overdrcw his pay and gave vouchers for
the same, hoping that certain remittances
would fix everything. The remittances
did not come, and Major Throckmorton
finds himself under arrest.”
“That the Bank Oflicial Says.
President James, of the Lincoln Na-
tional bank, was at his office, but could
give no information in regard to the
Throckmortou case. Bookkeeper Warren,
however, has not only known the major
for a long time, but has also been in a po-
sition to follow the case in all its details.
As regards the checks received at the bank
Indorsed by the major, Mr. Warren said
that there had been eight or ten of them,
which had come in during July and
August. As Major Throckmorton had no
account they had been returned.
He had, however, shown them to Mr. P.
J. O’Kelly, who knew the major’s signa-
ture, and he pronounced the checks for-
geries. O’Kelly had spoken to Throck~
morton about these checks and the latter
told him they had been forged by one of
the members of his battalion.
The most damaging testimony against
Major Throckmorton is concerning the
mysterious member of the army who owed
the major money and who was to deposit
it in the Lincoln bank as a nucleus to a
regular account. Mr. Warren and his as-
sistant both say that no one ever tried to
open an account for the major before or
alter the checks were presented and re-
fused.
The Major Says He Is Innocent.
Major Throckmerton claims the charges
are due entirely to personal animosity, and
are the outcome of an unfriendliuess of
long standing with a brother ofiicer. He
says he is anxious for the fullest investi-
gation of his whole conduct, and is confi-
dent that he will be proved innocent. He
asserts that be has done nothing of which
he has any cause to be ashamed.
Hoey’s Successor in Charge.
NEW YORK. Oct. 15,—Mr. Henry San-
ford, the new president of the Adams Ex-
press compauy, who was elected to sue-
ceed Mr. Hocy, has taken formal posses-
sion of the affairs of the company. He is'
investigating the status of the business,
assisted by the new vice president, Mr.
Lovcjoy, and will announce the result as
soon as he coziiplctes his task. No changes
of officers and agents are contemplated as
yet. -

A Big Cut in Wages.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 15. —-It is said that the
Edgar Thomson (Carnegie & Co.) steel
works have issued a new wage scale which
cuts down the tonnage men in the con-
verting mill to a great extent, the reduc-.
tion in many instances being $2.20 to $2.50.~
.a dayrf The men who have been making
$150 perrmonthwill hereafter make $90 per
month under the new scale. On the whole,
however, for the 3,000 men employed at
the plant the reduction will be an average
of only about 10 per cent. It is claimed
for the firm that the cut is counteracted
by increased capacity.
The Polk Will Contest.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 15.—Attorneys for the
relatives of President Polk filed a. bill in

TIM’S DEMANDS MODIFIED.
He Wanted Twelve Millions. but It Is Said
That Hc‘Has Consented to Accept Be-

and Drop the Contest.
BOSTON, Oct. 15.——It is learned on what
is considered to be unimpeachable author-
ity that the great will contest over the
forty millions or more of dollars left by
Mrs. Scarles-Hopkins to her husband has
been amicably settled, and that the case
will not again come into court. It is un-
derstood that Tim Hopkins has modified
hisdemands and that they have been ac-
sceded to.

TIMOTHY HOPKINS.
In corroboration of this The Record
printed the following: The Searies will
contest has undoubtedly been com-
promised. Perhaps not just all the legal
steps have been taken, but the work is
practically done. This was the story
which was whispered by leading lawyers
this morning.
“’11:“; Tim Gets.
Timothy Hopkins wanted $12,000,000, but
the figure with which he has been obliged
to put up is understood to be somewhere
between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000.
The meeting at which the will contest
was talked over was held last night in
this city, at the ofiice of the leading
Massachusetts counsel in the fight. The
lawyers, including Burley, Endicott, Bo-
alt, \Vilson, Lincoln and Allen, of New
York, came together early and did not
disband until early in the morning.
A stenographer took notes of every
proposition and the action upon it. The
principals were near by, but did not take
part in the proceedings. It was thought
best that they should not be in the room.
b The case will not come to trial in Octo-
er.

Wheat Seriously Damaged.
FARGO, N. D., Oct. 15.—The recent rains
have seriously injured the wheat crop. It
is estimated that in Richland, Cass and
Dickens counties at least one-half of the
grain has been thrashed and one-half of
the remainder is in stack. In other coun-
ties, however, not over 15 per cent. had
been thrashed and a. very small portion is
even stacked. In some counties the grain
is thoroughly soaked, water in many
fields being several inches deep. Wheat
left in shock has been badly injured all
over the state. Owing to the carelessness
in stacking, considerable grain is now wet
through and is heating. Farmers say the
loss will be heavy.
