' ' NEW YOBK'S ELECTION CONTESTS. the Court of Appeals Will Make Its De- cisions Dec. 29. ALBAnY, Dec. 24,—There were no deci- alone in the election cases handed down by the court of appeals Wednesday. All specu~ lation, however, as to the time when the decisions would come down was set at rest at 1 o’clock, when Chief Judge Roger hand- sd down the following announcement: “The court of appeals having disposed of Ill the cases on the calendar before it, has Laken a recess until Tuesday, Dec. 20, at 12 )’clock, when it will meet only for the pur- pose of’ announcing its decisions on the con- lested election cases. The next term will begin Monday, Jan. 18, 1893, and a new onl- rndar has been ordered for that date.” Lawyer Cossum and another lawyer who refused to give his name, both hailing from Poughkcepsie, arrived at the secretary of :‘tate’s office and asked to see Judge Rice. He was not in, but they waited until he fame, and then Mr. Cossum presented him with what purported to be the legitimate returns from Dutchess county. Secretary of state asked if it was the original copy, and being told by Cossuin that it was not, and that it we“ simply a certified copy, re» fused on behalf of the board of canvassers to receive it for filing. Mr. Cossum refused to talk about the matter to newspaper reporters, and the sec- rotary of state would only say that he would receive nothing for filing except the original returns. A Pair of Tough DIiners. VINCENNES, Ind, Doc. 24.—-A terrific pow- der explosion occurred in the Freeman coal mines in this city. William Higgins and Charles Sellers, Jr, miners, were blown fifty-five and sixty-five feet respectively by the explosion, but neither of them, although badly bruised and burned, is considered fatally injured. How it was possible for them to escape instant death is a mystery. Higgins’ shirt was torn completely from his body by the jagged rocks in the roof as he was sent flying through the darkened cav- ern. For two hours after the explosion the men groped their way in the darkness, both reaching the shaft about the same time and each being greatly surprised to find the other alive. A Victim of llIm-pliine. CHICAGO, Dec. LEA—Sidney J. \Vilkinson. a Baltimore traveling salesman and the son of a wealthy contractO' became viriently insane in the office of the" Auditorium hotel last night. He is a victim of morphine and his body was literally covered in places with pinlike sores, where he had injected mor— phine and cocaine, and he seemed to be suf— fering untold agonies. Nothing could be done for him and he was sent to the county hospital. His father was notified. The young man graduated from the Keeley-ii:— stitute at Dwight a short time ago, but soon returned to his old habits. A'ow Try This.

The unani- mously pronounced it czema. mtn heuma- tism lurking in the blood. some predicted that any treatment strong enough to cure the Eczema would surely increase the Rheuma- tism. She used two sets of the Curicuna Bannmns. The effect was marve‘lous. Her case of Eczema wasnot only completely cured. but her Rheumatism was greatly relieved during the treatment. 81:: years have elapsed since the cure was performed. her Rheuma- tism has since never increased by the treat- ment. but rather diminished, and she sees no symptoms of the return of the Eczema. which once so completely took possession of her_face and body. Miss Atwood delights in telling of the good effects that the Curicuna treatment had upon her. and recommends un- solicited the CuricunA Bnnnnins for Eczema and all kindred ailments.
