[Entered in the Post-Office as a Néwspaperd
i Later Returns From Alabama.
We are beginning to get the home
comments on the World’s recent,“poll"
of Alabama, and not surprised to find
that they fall very short of confirming
the World’s estimate of its own per-
formance. The following from the
Montgomery Journal is to, the point :
‘ ‘The Huntsville Mercury is right. Few
persons believe that the New York
World received sixty reports from Ala;
bama on the silver question. The whole
thing is a fake. It may have and doubt. "
css did receive a few, perhaps a dozen
replies; but the efforts to make‘ it ap-
pear that the people of. Alabama "are in
favor'of the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law is farcical. The New York
World is given to faking. 'Every read-
er remembers how. the New York Sun
some time ago showed that it was writ-
ing its own foreign letters in its own of-
fice. The expose of the Sun was com-
plete, leaving no room 'to doubt the
Sun’s charges. The telegrams,purport
ing to come from Alabama,in the World,
read like they were written in the World
office also. In fact. the descriptions of
the towns from which the alleged re-
ports are said to have come were taken
bodily from Ayer & Son’s or Bowell’s
newpaper annual for 1892.”
We feel pretty sure, and took occa-
sion to say so at the time,says the Wash-
ington Post, that Senators Morgan and
Pugh, to say nothing ‘of the entire dele-
gation in the House, excepting only
one, might be trusted to know more
about the sentiment of the state of Ala-_
bama than the young men in the World
office who, with the aid of the paste-pot
and the shears, concocted that prepos-
terous and impudent census. The
World’s figures on Alabama were of a
kind with its figures on Virginia. That
paper neither new nor cared anything
about the facts. It sought, simply, to
present a showing favorable to its
cause, and, by drawing on some news-
paper‘annual and its own never failing
nerve, it proceeded to do so.
That is the way the World usually
prepares its special information for
great occasions, and that is why it rev-
els in the respect and confidence of in-
telligent people. '

—.O
Danger in a Remedy. ‘
It is-frequently the cause that physi-
cians prescribe remedies that are more
severe than the disease, and there is
some danger that the doctors who are
assaying the treatmentnof the train-
robbing epidemic may make” this mis-
take. Undoubtedly it is desirable to
put a stop to. this indiscriminate 'hold-
ing up of trains. but if it is to be done
by exposing the lives of all patrons of
the roads the traveling public will not
take kindly to the proposition.
Several of the large railway corpora-
tions have caused it to, be announced
that all of their trainmen and station
agents are to be provided with revol-
vers and Winchesters. The express
companies will fellow suit and all of
their messengers will be heavily armed,
and they will also be expected to shoot
every time an effort is made to hold up
their trains. Ngt only will these men
he pressal into service, but the Pull-
man conductors and porters are to be
transformed into walking arsenals and
are to be added to the force that is ex-
pected to convince some of our grasp-
ing and reckless Western friends that
train-robbing is a drooping industry.
The great danger attending this pro-
_ posed reform lies in the fact that there
" is no telling just where an amateur
r
marksman is going to land. As a rule,
the gentlemen who make a profession
of financiering on a smooth-bore basis
are very- good shots and don’t waste
much powder‘ and lead? during . their
business hours. There is no assurance
that a certain crew that is suddenly at-
tacked will be able to maintain dis-
cipline, and in an indiscriminate shoot-
ing match the probabilities are that the
innocent passenger would get much
thgworst of it.bb .
. 'ut train ro eries are not the onl
incidents that would precipitate troublbe
should this general armament of rail-
way employees go into effect. There
would be a constant gauntlet for the
traveler to run. There would be the
didn’tfknow-lt-was-loadedstationagent,
the blow-down-the-muzzle-just-for.- fun
conductor, the point-it-at-your-head
Joke on the part of the brakeman, and
other_11ke pleasantries too numerous to
mention. In the early hours of the
morning, after the Pullman car porter
had cleaned the shoes and had engaged
1mseif in cleaning the Colts, Win-
chesters, and other paraphernalia of
the car, there is no telling just when
the passengers would receive an early
call and a dose of lead all around, as a
over-work the hands of a sleepy and
very uncertain piece of mechanism.
For our part, says the Washington
Post, we prefer to bear the train-rob-
.bing ills we have rather than fly to'
others that are more or less problem-
atical. It might-do to equip the en-
gineers. and express messengers with
guns, but give us the old-fashioned stai
tron agent who doesn’t know how to
shoot, who doesn’t know the time the
trains arrive and depart, or anything
else he is expected to know. Givens

'The following communication from
Mrs. Minnie Miller. who resides at 5

“For many years I was troubled With
indigestion and constipation. Three
years ago -I became so weak and ner-
i'vous that i was ”a complete physical
:.W_reck.., .I .had dizzy spells, palpitation
lot the heart and numbness of my hands

“These attacks 'cameaoften and each
Etime worse. My life was a burden to
me and a trouble and worry to all my
friends. I expected to die. At times I
thought I should lose my mind.‘ My
stomach was in such a condition thatI
could eat nothing but a very little of
the lightest kind of food. Sleep was-
impossible. Every little noise would
startle me and I would feel faint.
“N 0 one can imagine the agony I suf-
fered but those who areafilicted With
nervousness. I cannot describe the
feelings in half its horrors.
“At last I saw Dr. Greene’s Nervura
blood and nerve remedy advertised and
read the testimonials of cure of some
of those who had been afflicted as I was,
so I thought I would try it. Wonder-

ful to relate the first bottle helped me
so much that I bad faith in it. I took
two more bottles and oh! I feel so
much better. I can sleep soundly and
the nervous feeling has almost left me.
I can eat with a good appetite and have
gained seven pounds. ,
“My friends say that ’I am looking
so much better and I know that I am
feeling as they say I look. 1 tell every-
body that the Nervura has done it. I
cannot say enough for it and I praise
the Lord and thank this wonderful
medicine for giving me relief.
“I am only too glad to recommend
Dr. Greene’s N e'rvura' blood and nerve
remedy to any one afflicted as I was
and I hope this testimonial will be the
means _of inducing many to use this
marvellous remedy.” .
If you are a sufferer do not fail to
get this medicine ,_immediately from
your druggist. It costs but 81, and it
is purely vegetable and harmless. Ow-
ing to its great strengthening and in-

Deafness Cnnwl B4 Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of'the' mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in-
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
'ever ; nine cases but of ten . are caused
bycatarrh, which is nothing butan iii-~
flamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces. ,
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Semi for circulars, free. ,

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sep. 22.—By an ex-.
plosion of gas in the Lance colliery, No 11,
of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre coal com-
pany at Plymouth yesterday afternoon five
men were instantly killed and five others .
seriously injured, _
The names of the dead are: '
David M. Jones, aged 52,
Wilkesbarre. Leaves wife and two. ,chil-
dren. . I
Wm. Jones, rock miner, aged 45, :Wiglkes- '
barre}. ’3Leaves wife and two children.

4 Joshua Golightly, aged 55, assistant
mine foreman, Plymouth. ' -
The injured are: . . _
Owen L. Evans, aged 40, rock miner,
arm dislocated. , '
Thorns Williams, aged 40, rock miner,
ribs broken. . '
D. B. Davis, aged 40, rock miner, shoul--_
der dislocated. ' . ' I,
John Cummings, aged 45, mason, log»
brokenby flying debris. - ‘.
James Morgan, aged 40, miner, face cut
and scalp wound.
T he accident was caused by Joshua Go~
lightly, who entered a body of gas with
his naked lamp. A terrific explosion fol-
lowed. The deadly' flames swung from
one end of the gangway to the other, car-
rying death or injury to every living being
in its path. The concussion was awful,
props came tumbling down, cars were
lifted OE the’road and dashed with‘ fearful
force against the pillars. Loose coal was
caught up and sent whirling through the
chambers, only to be ground into powder
by its contact with the rocky walls.
The men Were working fully 1,000. feet
from where Golightly’s lamp set off the
gas, but owing to the unusually gaseous
condition of the mine the scorching flame
spread so rapidly that there was no es-
cape.
Goiightly was fearfully burned, the flesh
on his body being literally cooked. The
other victims were not burned, but were
killed by the flying debris, carried on. the
wings of the ex osion.
The masons were building walls and the
laborers cleaning up rubbish in the rock
tunnel when death overtook them. It
came with such fearful force that only a
few of them had a chance to escape.~ Go-
lightly has been an assistant mine foreman
for 15 years and‘was considered one 'of the
safest and most reliable men in the employ
of. the company. '
familiar with the mine and why'he entered
the gang—way with a naked lamp is a.
mystery which none of his friends can
solve. , ' I'
As soon as the explosion occurred word
was sent to the surface and in a few mine
utes a thousand people had gathered at the
mouth. of the theft. The greatest'ex'cite-
ment prevailed among the friends of the
doomed men. . ‘ - ‘
A rescuing party was at once organized
led by Superintendent Morgan. As is al-
ways the case in anthracite mine accidents,
volunteers were ready atn moment’s notice
and a large party dropped down into the
shaft to bring up the victims.
After a short absence they reappeared.
bearing the blackened bodies, and. there
was enacted one of those scenes calculated
to bring— tears to the eyes of those accus-
tomed to the saddest of sights. Women
and children shrieked in an agony of grief
and threw themselves upon the bodies of
their dead as they were carried by, while
strong men brushed their hardened hands
across their eyes and turned away to hide
the weakness. '
The dead and injured were taken to their
homes, where the company provided every
means for the comfort of the latter, who
are expected to recover. '
The damage to the mine is not extensive
and it will resume work today.
Forest Fires Quenched.
MILWAUKEE, Sep.22.—-A good soaking
rain has fallen in every nook and corner of
Wisconsin. The rain was heavy enough
to completely quench the forest fires.'
.Agent; Pierce. of‘the Ashland division of
“the“Ohi‘cagodt Northwestern railroad, who
returned from Ashlaud, says that the for-
est fires have entirely spent their force,
and that no further damage is appre-
hended. '
Lombard Company Will )Vind Up.
'KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sep. 22.—The re-
ceivers for the Lombard Investment com—
pany and the corporations forming the
general company say that the business of
the firm willbe closed as speedily as pos-
sible, and it will then go out of business.

complish this. The company has nearly
30 million dollars invested in farm lands.
