Wreck master Nelson was badly scalded
and cut in the arm and head. Section
foreman. J. Me El yea, had his left arm
broken in two places and arm and hand
terribly scalded. Young McGowan was
badly scalded on the legs, and a machin¬
ist was scalded on the head and face.
From the nature of the catastrophe it is
miraculous that no more than one life
was lost. The cause of the accident is
believed to have been a broken shoe drop¬
ping on the track. Tlie badly injured
were brought in and placed in tho com¬

A DEAD OFFICIALS BOOKS.
A Bend Philadelphia Official Proven lo be
a Defaulter.
A considerable sensation was caused by
the rumor that Newman Neither, who has
been registrar of the water department and of
Philadelphia, died the Pa., for several years, had been
who on Jd instant,
found to be a defaulter. Keither had
been in the public service about nine
years, the major portion of this time in
the water department as registrar, where
he handled upward of ,|i,000,000 per
year. When an examination of his books
was had, after liis death, it was found
that five large firms, whose water rent
amount to something like $8,000 each, j
had not been credited with payments as
they should have been made. Investi
gation revealed the fact that one of these
firms had paid Keither $4,300 in two
checks, one of which, for $751, he had
placed in the money drawer and taken
that sum in cash therefrom, while the
other, fur $4,449 he had deposited to the
credit of his individual account at his
banking house. Those in charge of the
investigation decline to say anything in
regard to the other four firms whose tax
appears on the. hooks as unpaid.

>| Tried in the Crucible.
About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro¬
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma¬
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. liad done for others similarly afflicted. 1 procured some at once. Before 1 had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been had for two or three years—1 haa a hacking cougn and spit blood contin¬
ually. I hca a severe pain m my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over ail but
a Mttle spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
