RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Th« State Has Hern Conceded to the
Republicans.
Dispatches of Wednesday from Provi
dence, R. 1., sav: Election returns at
hand are sufficient to indicate that there
is no eleetiou f->r state officers, with the
probability of a republican plurality. The
state law requires : pttjority vote to elect
aid there were a sufficient numb t of re
publican votos returned np to 12:40
o’clock a. in., to insure the election of
Senator Aldrich to the Uuited States
senate, and the choice of the repub
lican candidates for state officers. New
port probably elects but oue representa
tive, and it will require another election
to determine the choice for the other
four. It requir, s fifty-four members of
the legislature to elect on joint ballot,
and the republicans have, at present,
fifty-one, with every probability of hav
ing elected others.
THR TOTAL VOTE.
A later dispatch says: The total vote
stands: Brown, 28,187; Burton, 176; Gil
bert, 1,411; Ward well, 33,073. Total
vote 46 846, the largest vote ever cast in
Rhode Island. The town of Lincoln
elected a republican asscmblance, thus
insuring the republicans at least fifty
seven v tes on joint ballot, aud giv
ing them control. The republican
state ticket will be chosen by the
legislature, and Nelson W. Aldrich will
be returned to the Uui'ed States scuate.
The democrats made legi-lative gains in
several towns, but the result is a surprise
to the dem >crats. The ordinary stay-at
home vo'era c ime out, and overcame the
heavy democratic registration.
The city of Providence went democratic
by about 400 majority, but the city assent
bly ticket is in doubt. Pawtucket was
carried by the democrats by about 100,
and Woonsocket by a little less. The dem
i cri.tic assembly ticket in Woonsocket is
elected by 80, but the Pawtucket assem
bly is in doubt. The vote polled was the
largest in the history of tho state. The
result is a surprise to everybody, aud
shows that there arc several thousand
people in the stato whom party managers
cannot locate.
A later and corrected report gives the
official vote for governor, as follows:

Quant as Investigated bt an Al
bany (N. Y.) Journal Report
er—A Story of Sur
passing Interest.
Albany, N. Y. Journal, March 18th.
Saratoga, March lltb.—For soms tlma
past there have been reports here and else
where in Saratoga County of a most remark
able—indeed, so remarka le as to be miracu
lous—cure of a most severe case of locomotor
ataxia, or creeping paralysis, simply by the
use of a popular remedy known as ‘ Pink
Pills for Pale People,'’ prepared and put up
by the I>r. Williams Medicine Company
Morristown, N. Y., end Brockville, Out
The story was to the effect that Mr. Chas.
A. Quant, of Galway, who for the last six
or eight years baa t>een a great sufferer from
creeping paralysis and its attendant ilia and
who had become utterly powerless of all
self-help, had, by the use ot a few boxes of
the Pink Pills for Pale People, been so fully
restored to health as to las able to walk
•bout the street without the aid of crutches.
The fame of this wonderful, miraculous euro
was so great that the Evening Journal re
porter thought It worth his while to go to
Galway to coll on Mr. Quant, to learn from
his lips, and from the observation and testi
mony of hi* neighbors, if his alloged cure
was a fact or only an unfounded rumor.
An ! so he drove to Galway and scent a day
and a night there in visiting Mr. Quant,
getting his story and interviewing his
neighbors and lellow-townsraon. It may lie
proper to say that Galway is a pretty little
village of about 400 people, delightfully
located near the centre of the town
of Galway, in Saratoga County, and
about 17 miles from Saratoga ttonnga
Upon Inquiry the residence of Mr.
Charles A. Quant was easily found, for
everybody seemed to know him, speak well of
him, and to be overflowing with surprise and
satisfaction at his wonderful cure and restor
ation to the activities of enterprising citi
leusbip, for Mr. Quant was burn in Galway
and had spttit most of bis life there. Mr.
Quant was founu at his pretty home, on a
flee aunt street nearly opposite the academy.
n response to a knock at the door it was
o, ened by a man who, in reply to an Inquiry
if Mr. Quant lived there on 1 was at home,
said: "I am Mr. Quant, Will you come inf”
A fter a little general and preliminary conver
sation, and alter he had been apprised of the
object for which the Journal reporter had
called upon him, he, at request, told the
story of binu—lf soil of his sickness and
terrible sufferings, and of the ineffectual
treatment he hud ha i, and of his final cui j
by the use of Ur. Williams’s Pmk Pills for
Pale People, and chterlully gave assent to
its use for publication. He said: “My name
is Charles A . Quant. lam 37 years old. I
was born in the village of Galway, and, ex
cepting while traveling on business and a
little while iu Amsterdam, have spent my
whole life here. My wile is a native of
Ontario, Up to about eight years ago 1 had
never been sick and was then in perfect
health. 1 was fully six feet tall, weighed
180 pounds and was very strong. For twelve
years I was a traveling salesman fora piano
and organ company and had to do,or at least
did do, a great deal of heavy lifting, got my
meals very irregularly ami alept in enough
“spare beds’ It country houses to freete any
ordinary man to death,or at least give him the
rheumatism. About eight years ago I began
to feel distressed in my stomach and con
sulted several doctors about it. They all
said it was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I
was treated by various doctors in different
places, and took all the patent medicines I
could near of that claimed to be a cure for
dyspopsia. But 1 continued to grow grad
ually worse for four years. Then 1 began
to hare pain in iny back and legs and became
conscious that my legs were getting weak
and my step unsteady, and then 1 staggerel
when i walked. Having received no benefit
from the useot patent medicines, and feeling
that 1 was constantly growing worse, I then,
upon ad vioe, began tho use oi electric belts,
pads and all the many different kinds of
electric appliances I could hear of, an i speut
hundreds of dollars tor them, but they did
me no good. (Here Mr. Quant showed the
Journal reporter an electric suit of uuder
weai for which ho paid 4114.) In the fall of
1888 the doctors advtseda change of climate,
to 1 went to Atlanta, Ga., and acted as agent
for the Estey Organ Company. While there
1 took u thorough electric treatment, but it
only aromed to aggravate my disease, and
the only Teller 1 could get from the sharp
and distressing pains was to take mor
phine. Ibe [iain was so intense at times
that it seemed us though I could not stand
It, and 1 almost longed tor doath as the only
certain relief. In September of 1888 my
legs gave out entirely and aiy left eye was
drawn to one side, so that I had
double sight and was dizay. My
trouble so affected my whole nervous system
that 1 had to give up business. Then I re
turned to New York and went to the Roose
velt hospital, where for four months I was
“reeled by specialists and they pronounced
my case locomotor ataxia and incurable.
Alter I had been under treatment by Prof.
Starr and Dr. Ware for four mouths, they
told me they ha 1 done all they could for me.
Then l went to the New York hospital on
Fifteenth street, where, upon examination,
they said 1 was incurable and would not take
me iu. At the Presbyterian hospital they
examined me and told me the same thing.
In March, 18W >, I was taken to ML Peters
hospital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless;
that he could do nothing for me and that
the had better take me baok home and save
my money. But 1 wanted to make a trial
of Frof. Hun’s famous skill and I remained
under his treatment for nine weeks, but se
cured no benefit. All this time I had been
growing worse. I had become entirely
[taralvseil from my waist down and had
partly loat control of ray hands. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were freezing and my stomach would not re
tain food, and 1 fell away to 13J pounds.
In the Albany hospital they put 17 big
burns on my Iwck one day with red hot
Irons, and after a few days they put 14
more burns ou an 1 treated me with eleo
tricity, but I got worse rather than better:
iost control oi my bowels and water, and
upon advice of the doctor, who said there
wns no ho|>e for me, I was brought home,
where it was thought that death would soon
come to relieve me of my sufferings, last
September, while ill this helpless and suffer
ing condition, a friend of mine In Hamilton,
Ont., railed mv attrition to the statement
of one John Marshall, whoso case had been
similar to aty own, and who had Ixv n curel
by the use of Dr. Williams’s Pink Puls for
Pale People.
“In this case Mr. Marshall, who is a promi
nent member of the Royal Templars of
Temperance, had after four years of con
stant treatment by the most eminent Dana
dian nhysn-ians been pronounced incurable,
and was [laid the 41000 total disability claim
allowed by the order in such cases. Soms
monthsafter Mr. Marshall began a course of
treatment with Dr. Williams’s Pink Pills,
and after taking some 15 boxes was fully re
stored to health.
"1 thought i would trv them, and my wifs
sent for two boxes of the pills and 1 took
them according to the directions given on
the wrapper on each box. For the first few
days the cold baths were pretty severe, as 1
was so very weak, hut I continued to follow
instructions as to taking the pills and treat
ment, and even before I bad used up the
two boxes of pitls I began to feel beneficial
effect* from them. My pains were not so
bad; I felt war mer; ray head felt better;
my food tegau to relish and agree with me;
1 could straighten up; the leeling began to
oome back into iny limbs; I began to
be able to get about on crutches; my eye
came back again as good a- ever, and now,
after the use of eight boxes of the pills—at a
cost of only 14.00—see!— I can, with the help
of a cane only, walk all about the house and
yard, can saw wood, and on pleasant days I
walk down town. Mv stomach trouble is
gone; I hi ve gained 1(5 pounds; I feel lixe a
new man, and when the spring opens 1 ex
pect to be aide to renew my organ and piano
itgeucy. 1 cannot speak in too high terms of
I)r. IV illiamVs I'm- Tills for Pale People,
as I know they saved my life after all the
doctors had given me up as incurable.”
Other citix-us of Galway, seeing the won
ertu! cute ot Mr. Quant by the Pink Pills
for Pale People, are using them. Frederick
tsextou, a sufferer from rheumatism, said he
was finding great benefit from their use. and
Mr. Schultz, who hud suffered from chronio
dysentery lor years, said ha hail taken two
boxes of the pills an i mas already cured.
Mr. Quant had also tried Faith cure, with
experta of that treatment in Albany and
Greenville, 8. C., but with no beneficial re
sults.
A number of the more prominent citizens
of Galway, as Hev. . E. Herbert, of the
Presbyterian church; Prof. James E. Kelly,
principal of the aoademy; Jehn P. and Har
vey Grouch, and Frank and Edward Willard,
merchants, and many others to whim Mr.
Quant and his so miraculous curs hy the use
of Dr. Williams’s Pink Pills for Pal# People
are well known, were pleaaed to liars the
opjiortunity of bearing testimony to the high
character of Mr. Quant, and of verifying
the story of his recovery from the terrible
affliction from which he had for so long a
time been a sufferer.
Truly, the duty of the physician is not
to save life, but to heal disease.
The remarkable result from the use of Dr.
Williams’s P.nk Pills in the case of Mr.
Quant, induced the reporter to make farther
inquiries concerning them, and be ascer
tained that they are nit a patent medicine
in the eenae in which that term is generally
used, but a highly scientific preparation,the
result of years of study anrl careful experi
ment. They have no rival as a blood
builder and nerve restorer and have met
with uuparalleled success In the treatment
of such diseases as paralysis, rheumatism,
sciatica, Bt. Vitus’s dance, palpitation of the
heart, that tired feeling which affects so
many, and all diseases depending upon a
watery condition of the blood or shattered
nerves.
Dr. Williams’* Pink I’Uls are also a specific
for trouble peculiar to females, such as sup
pressions, irregularities, and all forois of
weaknees. They build up the blood and re
store the glow of health to pale or -allow
cheek*. In the case of men they affect a
radical cure iu all coses arl«ing from mental
worry, overwork, or excess, of whatever
nature.
On further inquiry the writxr found that
these pills are manufacture! by The Dr.
Wiiiiains Medicine Go., Brookviiie, Out.,
ami Morristown, N. Y., and are aold in
boxes (never In bulk by the hundred), at 50
cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may
be had of all druggists or direot by mall
from Dr. Williams Medicine Co., from
either address. The prioe at which these
pills are sold makes a course of treatment
comparatively inexpensive aa compared with
other remedies, or medical treatment.
Pile Driving in New Guinea.
In “Two Years Among the Savages of
New Guinea," W. 11. Pitcairn describes
how tbo natives of that country drive
piles:
The people have a curious way of
driving piles. We gave them a rope,
which they fixed round the head of the
pile, leaving the two ends dangling.
Several natives got hold of each end and
pulled alternately, until the pile was
worked down to the required depth.
The piles are made of white mangrove,
and in order to prevent the ravages of
the cobra insect, it is best *o tar the piles
well, or better still—though very expen
sive—to copper them all over.
The flooring of a house is of cane, the

pa m, and the roof of the leaves of the
sago palm, which have to bi put on sep
sr tely, the loaves overlapping a little,
nnd on fhe outside arc placed aome
branches of the cocoanut palm.
The Law’s Delay.
Lawyer—Hurrah, let me congratulate
yon. You are the luckiest of mortals
I hanks to my skill, I have obtained a
judgment in your favor in the supreme
court.
Client—After nine long years.
“But, my dear fellow, better late than
never.”
“How much do I get?" asked the client
anxiously.
“The court decrees that you shall re
eeive $2,000. The costs and my fee will
only ain unt to $3,000, so all you will
have to pay me is $1,000.”
‘‘Merciful h<avcnsl aud I must lose
my money bi side*?”
“Of course you lose your money, but
console \ourself. You have gained your
case. You can’t expect to gain every
thing. —'Texas Siftings.

How Often the Watch Ticks.
Many watches make five beats per sec
ond. 300 each minute, 18,000 every hour,
or 432,000 per day. Thus it will be seen
that u half dozen turns of Ibe key ouce a
day, taking up but a Tew seconds of time,
stores up a modicum of power in ttie
spring which is cut up into nearly a
million of beats. If we multiply the
daily beats by 3655, the number of days
in li year, we find that the watch ticks
157,788,000 times while the earth is mak
ing one annual trip around the sun.—St.

An Unfortunate Accident.
A loaded gun was lying in a waeon
which jolted along over n road in New

through Mr. Young’s shoulder, then
through bis son’s hip, then a baby’s body
and then lodged in Mrs. Roberts. The
baby is de, d and the rest severely hurt,
und nobody to blame for a pure accident.
Woman’s Mistake.
It may be that the tale of Darby and
Joan was a mistake, for the Columbian
Ass ciation of Housekeepers, of New
York, a society composed of women, has
decided that men are better house keep
ers, better cooks and better dnssmxkers
than the members of the opposite sex
are. As this is the verdict of the women
themselves, it should settle the matter,
though tlr re is no doubt that msuy an
appeal will be taken from the decision.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Dunn & Co.’* Trade Review for tho
Past Week.
I!. G. Dun & Uo.’s review of trade for
the week ended April 8 h says: Business
failures occurring throughout the coun
try during ihe last week number for the
L’ni el Slates 177; Canada,3l; total,2oß,
against 318 week before. Another week
brings additional proof of actual im
provement in business at many points,
while slackness at a few is explained by
causes obviously local and temporary.
Thus at some points bad weather and
impassable roads still retard, while at
others where that condition has passed
a vigorous revival is seen. The entreats
low prices for cotton still depress at the
south and the production of iron in ex
cess of demand has caused the failure of
once rnpiny and the closing of several
furnaces. Spring brings the usual revival
for building, and demand for material
at some points is larger titan usual and at
only one as yet is it reported as checked
by an expected strike. Money markets
continue abundantly supplied and easy,
wiih no trace of the pressure often seen
about April Ist and while at most points
the demand is only moderate, at some
importance of an increased demand is
reported.
TWO THEORIES ADVANCKI).
Two theories exist regarding the state
of business which find frqueot express
ions. That trade has disappointed ex
pectations to some extent is obvious, and
there are some who claim that a reaction
has begun of unknown duration, which
appear, d in Europe last year, and was
only in part deferred here because of ex
traordinary crops. These have to support
them unusually low prices, and in some
departments shrinkage in sales. But
other, argue that the disappointment is
du* to excessive expectations, and espe
cially to a fa lure to take into account
the great volume of indebtedness left
fr >m real estate speculation at the west
and south and influence hereof bad crops
and financial depression abroad. These
have to support them much evidence that
the actual business transacted,all branches
considered, is greater than ever before at
bis season in spite of all obstacles and
complaints.
Sales of wool at all the principle mar
kets for the year thus far exceed last
year’s, indicating larger manufacture.
Shipments of boots and shoes now exceed
last year’s Co il is dull but firm. A
better tone with larger sales is seen in
iron, for the output has been reduced
7,501) tons weekly, nnd an improved de
mand is seen for plate, structural and
sheet iron. Speculation has been
stronger, whe it advancing cents, corn
3 c nts and cotton 110 with smaller re
ceipts, Olis 1 cent higher, but coffee
$ lower. Money has been very easy and
loreign exchange a fraction lower, though
exports fall a little behind last year’s for
the week. Treasury shipments exceed
receipts for the mouth thus far over a
million dollars.
MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS
Elect Unlnstrneted Delegates to the
Chicago Convention.
The Massachusetts democratic state
convention, for the choice of four dele
gates to the national convention at
Chicago, met in Tremont t mple in Bos
ton, Friday afternoon. After temporary
organization the committee on credentials
reported that 323 towns and twenty
eight cities were represented by 1,031
delegates. lion. Edward Avery, of
Bramtree, was unanimously chosen as
permanent chairman. On taking the
chair Mr. Avery addressed the conven
tion at considerable length. He began
by expressing the conviction that the
coming elec: ion would take Massachu
setts outol the column of doubtful states,
and make it certainly democratic. Tak
ing up the silver question, the speaker
said.
No Massachusetts democrat, in Boston
or in Washing on, in convention or in
congress, hesitated to express himself on
the silver question. We are thankful
that the danger of the passage of a free
silver coinage "Ct seems for the present to
be averted. Some of the votes which
contributed to the result may have been
given from pure patriotism, some from
pure polities and some from pure satis
faction with the existing law.
Discussing the effect of the McKinley
tariff on New England industries Mr.
Avery said:
"Success is a duty; how to secure it
will be one of the problems submitted to
the convention to which you to-day elect
representatives of your state. The first
great step is the adoption of sound prin
ciples and a declaration of policy toguido
legislators and the executive. The next
duty will be the selection of a candidate.
I bel eve the candidate should bo as
strong as the platform, and not merely
that, but one who is so welded to his
principles that he would encounter do
f at in their open support rather than
insure success discreet silence. I
doubt not the delegates from Massachu
setts will give their unalloyed votes, and
such n man I believe the unite l democ
racy will elect as the president of the
United States.”
The following were elected delegates:
John W. Corcoran, Patrick A. Collins,
John E. Russell and Albert Houghton.
DROWNED BY FLOODS.
Fearful Catastrophes Along the Banks
of Tombigbee Hirer.
A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch of Sun
day says: I‘nsaeugers from Columbus,
Miss., bring horrifying descriptions of
the suffering from the flood in that city.
Up to Saturday afternoon the Tombigsee
river was higher than ever known by two
feet and a half, and hundreds of people
had been driven into the town for food
and shelter. One report says the number
dead up to that time whs fourteen.
A tingle wire is up and reports are
coming in constantly from the wide ter
ritory of more I'eaths. Twenty have
been heard from already and no commu
nication has yet been had with a very
wide stretch of country. The refugees
are a charge upon the town and county,
and already it has been decided to
appeal to the general government for
help. Tho number of these tefugtes
now in town is put at COO an 1 the in
habitants up and down the river will be
destitute. Wild rumors are heard that
the lots of life would reach 200, but
those evidently came from local and ex -
cited estimates. Many re-cuing parties
have been at work and several of those
in turn have been rescued by other relief
parti- s after suffering wreck.
In one ca-e a lawyer, whose name is
not knowu, with a negro man, rescued a
colored family of Dine persons. They
had a pig and the old woman insisted on
taking it into the boat. While on the
waters the pig fell out aud the woman
made a grad for it, upsetting the boat.
The entire family were drowned and the
two rescuers narrowly escaped with their
lives. __

I must say a word as to the ef

used it iu my family for Bronchitis,

derived good results therefrom. I
therefore recommend it to my neigh
bors as an excellent remedy in such
cases. James T. Durette, Earlys
