The alleged purchasers were Messrs. Speyer & Co., the bankers who financed the five-million do Ur floating debt of the Georgia C- ntral last summer. According to the rumor, tho purchase was to lie effected by the exchange of $7,500,000 of the Terminal 5 per cent bonds for the 40,000 shares of stock. Whether anything comes of the rumor remains to be seen. 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.

MIRACLE. tIEI.PI.ESS FOR YEARS AND EX CLUDED FROM HOSPITALS AS INCURABLE. The Rbmarkabls Experience op Chaa. 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 w lls arc made of the bark or skin of 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.

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.

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. Louis Republic.

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. The Mother's Fault. Small Boy (c mplainingly) "Why i n’t thur any griddle cakes this morn ing?” Mother (reprovingly) —“Because you neglected to go to the store yesterday ami get me some eggs, as I told you.” Small Boy (w ith an injured air) —“You didn't tell me they was for griddle cakes.”—Street A Smith's Good News.

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. __ TSS IHMBUtn Legation and Consu'att to wJmion, EftgUnfl. are overran witn in pecunious American cattlemen and tramps.
