FT / relPlik ' offered by the manufactur
trf - ers of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
17 v $ Remedy, for a case of
Pms# Chronic Nasal Catarrh which
'•:< they cannot cure.
SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.-Dull,
heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal
passages, discharges falling from the head
into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery,
and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody and putrid; the eyes are
weak, watery, and inflamed; there is ringing
in the ears, deafness, backing or coughing to
clear the throat, expectoration of offensive
matter, together with scabs from ulcers; the
voice is changed and has a nasal twang; the
breath is offensive; smell and taste are im
paired ; there is a sensation of dizziness, with
mental depression, a hacking cough and gen
eral debility. Only a few of the above-named
symptoms are likely to be present in any one
case. Thousands of cases annually, without
manifesting half of the above symptoms, re
sult in consumption, and end in the grave.
No disease is so common, more deceptive and
dangerous, or less understood by physicians.
By its mild, soothing, and healing properties.
Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy cures the worst
cases of Catarrli, “cold in the head,”
Coryza, and Catarrhal Headache.
Sold by druggists everywhere; 50 cents.
“Untold Agony from Catarrh.”
Prof. W. Hausner, the famous mesmerist,
of Ithaca, N. Y., writes: “Some ten years ago
I suffered untold agony from chronic nasal
catarrh. My family physician gave me up as
incurable, and said I must die. My case was
such a bad one, that every day, towards sun
set, my voice would become so hoarse I could
barely speak above a whisper. In the morning
my coughing and clearing of my throat would
almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, in three months, I was a well
man, and the cure has been permanent.”
“Constantly Hawking and Spitting.”
Thomas J. Rushing, Esq., 2902 Pine Street,
St. Louis, Mo., writes: “I was a great sufferer
from catarrh for Riree years. At times I could
hardly breathe, and was constantly hawking
and spitting, and for the last eight months
could not breathe through the nostrils. I
thought nothing could be done for me. Luck
ily, I was advised to try Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy, and I am now a well man. I believe
it to be the only sure remedy for catarrh now
manufactured, and one has only to give it a
fair trial to experience astounding results and
a permanent cure.”
Three Bottles Cure Catarrh.
Eli Robbins, Runyan P. 0., Columbia Cos.,
Pa., says: “My daughter had catarrh when
she was five years old, very badly. I saw Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy advertised, and pro
cured a bottle for her, and soon saw that it
helped her; a third bottle effected a perma
nent cure. She is now eighteen years old and
sound and hearty.”

THE HATFIELD GANG.
Several of Tlu-ii In the Louisville Jail.
All Protest Their Innocence.
Louisville; Ky., Feb. 22.— Tb? West Vir
ginia) *. known as the Hatfield gang, at
tracted much attention in the county jail
throughout the day. They were placed in
the cell" •v.th other prisoners, and were up
bright aid early, Tuese men have the repu
tation if being desperadoes, but their ap
pearance would hardly indicate that any of
them were cut throats, ambush assassins and
murdererers. Valentine Hatfield appears to
be the leader of the gang, and while having
i tsfS.-fc" /
p- \ l
MRS. VANCE. CAPT. VANCE.
FRANK PHILLIPS. CAPT. AXS. HATFIELD.
an inoffensive and quiet old justice of the
peace. He claims to know nothing ot the
many heinous crimes with which he is
charged, and professes to be a much injured
individual. He dresses fairly well for a
mountaineer, speaks slowly and uses good
language. It is claimed Hatfield has five
living wives, and thirty odd living children,
but of this he will not speak, but slyly winks
when asked concerning his fascinating ways,
and seems proud of his conquests.
The next most noticeable of the prisoners
is old man Randolph McCoy. He is about
sixty-five years old, bent with cares and sor
rows, and withal a most miserable looking
creature. His face is one mass of heavy
wrinkles, and his eyes are dull and dim. In
an interview' he asserts that Valentine Hat
field was the leader and in higator of all the
trouble between the Hatfield-McCoy factions.
As he related how his four sens and one
daughter had been mercilessly butchered,
his wife hit in the head with a huge bludg
eon, and his homestead burned to the
ground, the old man shed tears and cried as
if his heart was cracking. He says that he
could have murdered Hatfield when he had
him and his fellow r prisoners, but that even
with his family butchered like hogs in a
slaughter house, he could not crimson his
hands and soul with human blood. He seems
entirely broken down, and claims to be inno
cent of all the crimes charged to his account.
The men spend their time in walking
through the halls of the jail. About the
only lively one among the lot is Moses Chris
tian. He is an expert fiddler and saws awaj
at his instrument all the time, while some
others of the common prisoners dance jigs
and breakdowns much to the amusement of
the many visitors, who through curiosity,
have visited the jail throughout the entire
day.
The case will come up in the United States
court soon, when Judge Barr will decide the
question of jurisdiction. A. J. Anxier,
formerly United States marshal of Kentucky
during Arthur’s administration, will act as
counsel for the prisoners, while ex-Congress
man Eustis Gibson will represent the state of
West Virginia and argue the constitutional
questions involved. Ex-Governor Knott and
Hardin will represent Ken
tucky.
Hold Hank Robbery.
Cisco, Tex., Feb. 17.—A bold bank rob
bery was attempted here yesterday. About
3 o’clock four men entered the Cisco Na
tional bank, and one of them going up to the
cashier, C. C. Leveaux, demanded all the
bank’s cash. There were two other officials
in the bank at the time, but the other three
robbers took charge of them. Mr. Leveaux’s
movements were too slow to suit the rob
bei's, so one of them beat him on the head
and helped himself to £O,OOO cash. The rob
bers then locked the bank officials in the
yard in the rear of the bank and jumping
into a wagon, that was in waiting, escaped.
The men were unmasked and it is believed
they will be apprehended.
Judge Lynch Gets in His Work.
St. Louis, Feb. 17. —The Chronicle’s Du
quoin, 111., special says: Alonzo Holly, the
negro, who assaulted a coal miner’s wife in
this city, five weeks ago, was this morning
taken from the jail at Pinckneyville and
hanged by a mob of twenty masked men.
He was strung up to a tree standing in the
street within the resident portion of the
town at about 3:30 thjs morning.
A previous attempt to lynch Holly was
failed by the sheriff taking him to Belleville,
from which place he was lately returned to
Pinchneyville, on acconnt of his obstreper
ous conduct while a prisoner there. Holly
protested his innocence to the last.
A Fatal Mistake.
New Orleans, Feb. 17.— 1n Grant parish

Driver, poured a quantity of rat poison,
which she mistook for cooking soda, into a
kettle of boiling cabbage, which was after
wards eaten by her family, consisting of
herself, her daughter Grace, two' grand
children and a child named Nelson. In a
few hours they were all taken sick. The
grandmother, mother and one child soon
died. The other children suffered terribly
until the following day, when they also died.

MINERS’ STRIKE ENDED.
MASTER WORKMAN LEWIS ORDERS
• the Miners back to work.
*
Philadelphia Knights Amazed— Everyone
Satisfied but the Railroaders, M ho A\ >ll
Continue Their Strikt —The Cincinnati
Shoemakers* Trouble**
Pottsvili.e. Pa., Feb. 20.—The Reading
coal miners have been ordered back to work
next Monday by Master Workman Lewis.,
after which diff ranees with the Reading
Coal and Iron company are to be arbi
trated.
Consternation Among the Knights.
Philadf.!*phia, Feb. 20.—The move made
by Master Workman Lewis in ordering the
miners' strike off. caused great consternation
among the prominent knights of this city
leaders of the railroaders' strike ami their
follower*: Mr. Lewis kept his promises to
himself and did not let even John L. Lee
know that he intended order the miners to
return to work.
Lewis decided on Thursday afternoon that
the best tiling he could do for the miners wa>
to order i hem back to work. He knew the
terms the company would settle upon. Late
in the afternoon he found that he could set
tle the s' rike by ordering the miners back,
with the understanding that there would be
no cli-cri mi nation, and that the wage ques
tion would be discussed afterwards. He
went to Scranton on Thursday evening, and
there met John W. Haves and several
prominent local knights, but. not Mr. Pow
derly.
Mr. Lewis stated that he could have settled
the stroke that afternoon, if the general
boar*.) would order the railroaders strike off.
He was informed, much to his surprise, that
tlie general board up to the time of their ad
journment on Wednesday, ha 1 not taken ab
solute charge of the strike, as certain condi
tions had not been fulfilled by the strikers.
The conditions \ve.\s that each district con
cerned in cat strike should appeal to the
hoard for aid. When Mr. Lewis was in
formed that the general board could not order
off the railroaders’ strike he decided to carry
out his original plan and order off the
miners’ strike in virtue of his power as Na
tional master workman.
The Railroaders Dissatisfied.
Pottsville, Pa., -Feb. 20. The joint
miners committee and Palo Alto Assembly
7089, labor bodies tha-t met this morning to
act on the official order declaring the miners
strike off. Four other labor gatherings bad
been announced but the members saw no oc
casion for further deliberation at present and
scattered to their homes to talk over the sit
uation.
Every one is satisfied but the railroaders.
The leaders talk wildly and foolishly, threat
ening to bring about a strike on all railroad
lines in this and adjoining states; also, that
the bituminous and other supplies are to be
cut off from the Reading’s traffic. The raqk
and file will in many instances report for
duty, and local officials intimate that the
less radical of railroaders will be given jobs
as fast as needed.
“We have decided to fight it out to the bit
ter end until the Sweigard agreement is
lived up to,” said Chairman Lee this niorL
ing.
Palto Alto railroad assembly meeting was
largely attended, and by unanimous vote de
cided to continue the lockout. The action of
Davis and Master Workman Lewis was de
nounced in vigorous terms. Miner leaders
Thompson and Duffy left this morning for
Philadelphia to confer with Reading officials.
Railroad Chairman Lee, in company with
Cahill and others, left at noon to attend the
railroad executive board meeting in Phila
delphia, this evening. A meeting of the
Reading railroad convention is called for
Sunday, to take full action.
Cincinnati Shoemakers.
Cincinnati, Feb. 20.—Hannah Powderly
assembly held an enthusiastic monster mass
meeting at Druid’s hall at 3p. m. Friday
Fully five hundred girls and three hundred
men were present and many were turned
away. Mollie Weitler presided and red hot
speeches were made by Goodenough and But
terworth. The former denounced Cavanaugh
for expelling M. W. Cunningham, of Custer
assembly of shoecutters, without holding a
court, as required by Knights of Labor law’s,
and further said that before Cavanaugh was
through he would find that he neither runs
the court nor District Assembly No. 48.
Speeches were also made by Frank Moore,
William Thorne, Frank Silverman, Thomas
Morrisey, S. F. Carey, Jr., of the Enquirer.
Jackson assembly of shoecutters held a
meeting last night, passed resolutions de
nouncing District No. 48, and refusing to
6ign the new rules, as they considered them
selves members of National Trade District
No. 216.
The combined executive board of shoe as
semblies also held a meeting last night.
At several factories preparations were
made to resume work, but no employes
showed up. The manufacturers say thew
will start up, however.
Trouble is anticipated at Blacker <fc Gers
ble's factory, but *the members of Hannah
Powder) - .- ssetnbly will not take a part in it.
Mr. P • >. chairman of the combined
execui ’. presented the communica
tion !'• • nllined, executive board of
sh'oe 1 the executive board of the
maim a. this morning, and received
the following reply:
“The manufacturers will recognize no
other authority than of District Assembly
No. 48.”
Mr. Goodenough said to a reporter imme
diately after:
“District Assembly No. 48 will never settle
our troubles.”
The above in a nutshell is where the fight
Stands at the present time.
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen.
Chicago, Feb. 2d.—Eighty per cent, of
the locomotive engineers and firemen on the
Chicago & Alton railroad will have their
pay increased next month, according to an
agreement between the management and
Arthur, the grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive engineers, and J. Sargeant,
grand master of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive firemen. These men have been in the
city tl ice days acting with the grievance
committee of the men and conferring with
the railroad officials.
The agreement is that the passenger en
gineers are to be paid §3.50 per hundred
miles, the freight engineers §4 per hundred,
with the addition of fifty cents on way
freights and coe.l branches. The firemen are
to receive 58 per cent, of the engineers’ pay
on passenger trains and 55 per cent on freight
trains.
A committee of engineers and firemen of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has been
working for three days with the manage
ment of the railroad with the same purpose
—to equalize the pay, and it is believed an
arrangement to that effect will be made.
The Gould and Sage Case.
New York, Feb. 17. —The general sessions

and then adjourned until Monday.
TERRIBLE, BUT THRILLING.
Runaway Train Dashes Like Lighting To*
ward the Lake’s Edge.
Marquette, Miqb , Feb. 22. Last even
ing a copper train of thirty cars on the Du
luth & South Shore road got out of control
of the men at the Prince Mine, five mile-;
above this city, and rame thundering down
the heavy grade at the rate of over a mile a
minute. The shrieks of ti.e locomotive
whittle caused thousand* to rush out of
doors, all knowing well what was the
trouble.
In four minutes after the engineer blew
the first danger whistle that his train was
running away five miles alwve, and that
the main track must be left clear for him
to make tm* run through the city or go into
Lake Superior, the train came thundering
down through the yards. The big mogul * > *
gir.e kept up its shrieks and the rush >'f the
ears shook the earth, while the srain seemed
a sheet of flame from the fire caused by the
friction of the smoking brakes. Nine cars
of heavy timber wera in the tram, an lat
the third crossing the timbers began t > fly.
They shot through the air like lightning m
all directions. Buildings were dem wished
and cars throUvn from the tiack in every di
rection. Three car- held to the engine and
dragged a fourth with timbers caught under
the wheels.
The engine stopped within two hundred
feet of the sharp curve, which would surely
have thrown it into the' lake. For three
blocks timbers and car trucks and cars are
scattered. Two stress are blockaded. The
engineer and fireman stuck to tlieir posts.
One brake nan jump''l in the dark, not
knowing he was in the city, so swift was the
rush of the train. He was saved by being
thrown into an immense snowdrift. The
conductor and other brakemen cut loose
the caboose and escaped. It is marvelous
that the only loss of life was Governor
Swine ford's great Newfoundland dog. which
w as kille i by one of the flying timbers.
ENGLAND’S GALL.
An Armed Force of Cavalry Takes Poses
sion of Yurnari, Venezuela.
New York, Feb. 20. —An armed force of
English cavalry has entered the territory of
Venezuela and taken possession, in the name
of the cue, “ii, of the Yurnari t rritory, on the
ground that the Venezuelan republic con
templated building a railroad to the Yur
nari section, which road would infringe
upon admitted territorial rights of the En
glish government. This action has not been
wholly unexpected by the Venezuelans, but
they hoped that the large American interests
which center in Venezuela, would deter En
land from exercising any such high-handed
policy as they have adopted.
Sflch was not the case, however, and it is
the intention of Gen. Silva, the United State's
consul to call the attention of the entire
United States to the matter and obtain for
the Venezuelans all the assistance moral and
governmental that can be utilized. “It is
England’s desire,” Gen. Silva said, “to make
a second India out of South America, and
unless her lawless incursions are nipped in
the bud, she will so do.” It is expected that
efforts will be made to have Secretary Bay
are investigate the matter with a view to
protection of American interests, if such
protection is necessary.
A Dealer in “tlie Queer.”
Wabash, Ind., Feb. 18. —On Wednesday
Constable Lives arrested Edward Higgins, a
well knowm young man, on a charge of pass
ing counterfeit money. A considerable
quantity' of imitation dollars and half dol
lars were found on his ])erson, but the coun
terfeit was of the crudest nature. Last week
Higgins pawned his wife’s gold breastpin for
$1 to a railroad man. Yester
day he attempted to redeem the ar
ticle with a “queer” dollar, when the
fraud was detected and Higgins pulled.. He
confesses to having gotten away with a large
amount of the stuff. It is believed that he
is the stool-pigeon of an organized band of
counterfeiters in the vicinity of Mrs. Hig
gins' premises, to make some sensational dis
closures. The prisoner was taken to In
dianapolis to-day by a deputy United States
marshal.

bers of the National committee, and we only
need twenty-four votes to get the conven
tion.”
