earlier. The trouble was constitutional,
not local; and, until Ayer’s Sarsapa.
Cilla did its effective work as an
Alterative and Blood-purifier, they were
compelled to suffer.
The wife of Samuel Page, 21 Austin

subject to severe headaches, the result
of stomach and liver disorders. A per
fect cure has been effected by Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla.
Frank Roberts, 727 Washington st.,

“Every spring, for years,” wrftet
Lizzie W. DeVeau, 262 Fifteenth st.,
Brooklyn, N. ¥., “I have had intoler
able headaches. I commenced the use
of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla last March, and
have not had a headache since that
time.”
“I suffered from headache, Indlges
Cion and debility, and was hardly able
to crag myself about the house,” writes
Mrs. M, M. Lewis, of A st., Lowell,
Mass. “Ayer's Sarsaparilla has worked
a marvelous change in my case. I now
feel strong and well as ever.’*
Jonas Garman, Esq., of Lykins, Pa.
writes: “Every Spring, for years, I

caused by impurity of the blood and

Nothing relieved me till I took Ayer’s

When Mrs. Genevra Belanger, of 24

use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, she had suffered
for some years from a serious affection

The Prince of Wales Unveils a
Statue.
DIED IN THE ATTEMPT TO SAVE LIFE.
London, October 4.—Speaking to adeputa
i turn at Hawarden today, Mr. Gladstone said:
-Although the l.berals sustained a smashing
demit at the last election, tho present year
was lull of signs that the judgment of the na
tion, when again pronounced, would be far dif
ferent. The Irish question continued to cast
into a deep shade every other question. It
was to the interest of the old parties to have
the question settled. It would be an unfeigned
joy to him if the torics relieved the liberals of
the task of solving the problem by presenting
to Ireland the measure of justice which site is
entitled to receive. Such an ovent would cast
upon liim the deliglitlul duty of assisting the
tories to attain the righteous and necessary
end. [Cheers.]
Referring to the liberal-unionists he said lie
wouldn't find fault with their conscientious
opposition. At tho same time their whole
conduct was animated by animosity and hos
tility to Ireland, and they did everything in
their power to deprive the liberal party of all
influence for gentlemen professing liberalism.
[Cheers.] Sympathy with them was the
dominant sentiment in his mind. There had
always been weak-kneed liberals. The present
cabal was not. the first one the liberals had
formed. The freedom of judgment which pre
vailed in tho liberal party,made it liable to that
calamity. If reports were true that
police had called at. midnight at tiie houses of
persons who intended to speak at the London
meeting, demanding to know tho objects and
programme of that meeting, it was a gross out
rage. Buell action was contrary to the wiiolo
spirit of liberty, and violently at variance
with the traditions of England. From a
mere party point of view, he might, say let the
government, go on. The more offensive these
proceedings the sooner would they bring about
the great object, of his life. His constant prayer
was for a speedy and satisfactory settlement of
the Irish question. [Cheers.]
The Prince of Wales Unveils the Boelune
Statue at Balmoral.
London, October G.—At Balmoral today the
prince of Wales unveiled Boehme’s statue of
the queen, presented by the district tenantry.
The queen expressed her 1 hanks for the loyal
and kind address presented toiler. She said:
This statue will be a lasting memorial of the affec
tion I always bear lor my highland home. lam
deeply touched by the grateful terms in which you
have allui'e I to my residence amongst y at.
The great devotion you have shown mo
and mine while- here has ever added
to tho joys, and lightened the sorrows
of my life. 1 miss many kind faces of old friends no
longer with us, who would have rejoiced equally
with me. I heartily reciprocate vour good wishes,
and I trust that we may still lot k forward to the
spending of many happy day-tog ther.”
Her majesty was heartily cheered. The
Sciforth Highlanders played a feu do joie.
A Secret Conference.
Berlin, October 4.—A secret conference of
Gorman socialists, lasting three days, has been
held at St. Gall, Switzerland. Eighty dele
gates were present. Tho police were com
pletely hoodwinked, and had no knowledge of
the meeting until after its adjournment. Tho
socialist leaders Singer and Hasenclevor, acted
as president at the different sessions. Tho
speakers bitterly denounced the course
pursued by the socialist deputies in
tho reichstag, and a resolution was
adopted condemning the opportunist policy
of the deputies, under the lead of Botscl and
Liebernicht, who were charged with coquet
ting with other parties and with compromis
ing the independence and revolutionary char
acter of the socialistic movement.
Turns Queen's Evidence.
Dublin, October s.—Callihan, tho moon
lighter, who was one of the party that killed
Constable Whelehan, at Lisdoonvarne, and
who turned queen’s evidence, was taken to
Ennis today, and testified against his accom
plices. He swore as to the plot against
Sexton, and identified seven of the prisoners
as having participated in the killing
of Whelehan. Callihan admitted that he
had planned a number of moonlight raids in
Kerry and Clare, lie said he had been in the
pay of the police for the last five years and
that ho had received from Constable Whele
han, just before the raiding of Sexton, a small
sum of money in payment of his share for ar
ranging tho raid. This statement caused a
great sensation in court. While returning to
jail, the prisoners were cheered by crowds in
tho streets. The police charged tho people
and used their batons freely.
A gang of moonlighters last night attacked
the house of a farmer named Kibon.at Cranny
bridge, Kilowsh, and drove the inmates out
and leveled tho building with crowbars. They
continued their work of destruction for several
hours. Eight arrests have been made.
The farmers of Tipperary received notices
through the post threatening them with death if
they attend the proposed auction sale of cattle
of a farmer. The notice describes the auction
eer as “The Accursed and Eternally Damned
Judge Keogh.”
O’Brien Released.
Duben, October (5. —The trial of Lord
Mayor Sullivan and Mr. O’Brien, for publish
ing in papers respectively controlled by them,
reports of meetings of suppressed branches of
the national league, will open al tho Mansion
house this afternoon.
2:30 p. m.—Tho lord mayor was driven to
the court in a carriage which was followed by
Mr. John Dillon, Ex-Lord Mayors, E. Dewyer
Grey and Charles Dawson, Ex-Sheriff Peter
McDonald, and others. The city marshal
wearing a cocked hat and sword led the civic
dignitaries, who were all arrayed in tho full
robes of their offices. Air.
O'Brien joined the procession soon
after it started and proceededjto tho court.
Tho streets through which the procession
passed to the court were thronged, and the
lord mayor and Mr. O’Brien were tho recip
ients of a great ovation along the line. Police
men wandered singly through tho crowd. A
cordon of police surrounded the Mansion House
and prevented the crowd from approaching the
court. There wore fifty municipal officers pres
ent in court. Alter the case had been called
by the magistrate, a warm dispute occurred be
tween the police attendants in court and Mr.
Sexton, member of parliament, and the high
sheriff oi Dublin, arising from a desire of the
latter to place tiie city sword and inace before
the magistrate. The police attempted to pre
vent the placing of the city emblems on the
table, whereupon Mr. Sexton and other muni
cipal officers seized the sword and attempted
to place it there by force. The police and mu
nicipal officers struggled for the possession of
the sword, while the spectators in the gallery
cheered Mr. Sexton and exhorted him to
| “hold on.”
After a few minutes both sides desisted, and
1 alter a parley a compromise was effected ami
the sword was placed on tho magistrate's
bench. Mr. Carson aepeared say
I counsel for the crown ami Mr. Timothy Heals
| appeared as counsel for the defense. After
hearing tho evidence, the court dismissed tho
case on tho ground that tho crown had not
proved that the meeting reported in tho “Na
tion” was a meeting of a suppressed branch of
tho national league. The spectators and crowd
outside tho courtroom were wildly enthusiast ic
over the decision. Tho case of Mr. O’Brien
will be called tomorrow.
The lord mayor; on arriving at tho Mansion
house, made a speech. Referring to the result
of his trial,he said that the national press had
been victorious in its first tu.-.ric with the co
ercive government, and the news would glad
den the hearts of Messrs. Pain'll and Glad
stone. The only way to defeat the infamous
coercion Jaw, was to.dcfy it. As for himself,
the plank upon which he was to sleep in jail,
had not yet been sawn.

was continued at Gwecdore today. Inmates
of M idow Bowie's house stoutly resisted the
ovietors by throwing boiling water upon them.
The bailiffs demolished tho house and the
chimney’ having tumbled, the debris took fire.
Seven persons were arrested. Owing to the
hostile demeanor of spectators, the police were
ordered to prepare to tire, whereupon Constable

A Meeting of Anarchists.
London, October 7.—A mooting ot anarch
ists and socialists was held here tonight, to
protest against tho execution of the death sen
tence in the case of the Cliieago anarchists.
William Morris, the poet, presided. In his
speech he said that the Chicago eases showed
him how soon the thin veneer of civilization
over mere brutality was removed, and tho hu
man beast exposed. A man named Bartlett,
of the socialist league, moved a resolution pro
testing against the sentence passed upon the
Chicago anarchists. He was supported by
several speakers. One, named Seymour, said
that every anarchist at tiie Chicago meeting
ought to have thrown a bomb at the police,
and ho hoped all would do so if the sentences
were carried out. If he were brought before
Judge Gary, lie would consider it his proudest
duty to rid the world of such a “villain.” The
resolution was carried.

The Poor of X.ondon.
London, October 8. —Two hundred of poor,
homeless, unemployed persons, who sleep at
night in Trafalgar square, today paraded in a
body through the principal streets in West
End. They carried a black banner bearing in
white letters the inscription, “Wo will have
work or bread.” A large force of police,
mounted and on foot, accompanied tho proces
sion, which eventually returned to Trafalgar
square and, with the followers attracted, held
a meeting. The orators who addressed this as
semblage deplored the hardship of the lot of
those whoso only resting place in Loudon at
night was in a public square, and declared
that the only means they had of drawing the
attention of the public to their condition was
by such demonstrations as they had just made.
The meeting adopted a resolution to reas
semble next Monday, and to continue to pa
rade daily until relief was afforded.
Firmness is Wanted,
Dublin, October 8 —Tho Express, tory
organ, complains that the government is irreso
lute in its enforcement of tho crimes act, and
says that it either shirks from action or tho
courts defeat it. Doos tho government, tho
Express asks, really mean to enforce the act?

carry out the law, and Mr. Balfour must come
to Dublin.”

eral officersswere murdered. A quantity of
ammunition and a sum of money belonging to
the government were seized by tho mutineers.
The commander-in-chief of the troops was
panic-stricken and lied.
A HORRIBLE TBAGEDY.
Talladega, Ala., October 6.—[Special.]—A
horrible tragedy occurred near Talladega yes
terday morning before breakfast. David Ogle
tree and his wife arose early, and being in bad
health, took a toddy of whisky from a Husk,
which had been sitting on the mantel. In a
a short while they were both dead. The tlask
was found to be strongly impregnated with
strychnine. Suspicion rests upon a son, Henry
Ogletree, who purchased a vial of strychnine
on Saturday last from one of the drugstores in
Talladega. Ho is now lodged in jail. It is
supposed that property had something to do
witli tho motive. There are other opinions,
however, and nothing definite can be de
termined until an investigation.
Another story is, that Mr. Ogretree camo to
the city, and on returning home quite late,car
ried a large flask of whisky with him. On ar
riving at home himself, wife and son, partook
of a portion of tho liquor. Early yesterday
morning Mr. Ogletree and wife again drank
some of tho whisky, and in a few moments
were writhing in agony from convulsions, hoth
expiring ih about ten minutes. It was first
rumored that Mrs. Ogletree had put, poison in
the whisky during tho night, intending to
murder herself and husband, owing to the fact
of her having been insane for many years, and
having often made threats to kill the entire
household. A coroner’s jury was empaneled,
consisting of P. S. Williams, J. T. Adams,
Joshua Gore, .1. B. Nix, D. 11. Thweat
and R. L. Reagan, who, after inquir
ing diligently into tho matter ordered tho
arrest of Henry D. Ogletree, a son of tho dead
couple. The prisoner says lie is innocent of
the crime, and that he had rather be dead than
to be charged with the crime or bo placed in
jail. He would say nothing regarding the
crime until he consulted an attorney. The
only evidence pointing to the son's guilt is that
he has told different stories concerning the
effects of what whisky ho drank, and that 1.0
purchased the poison from the drug store of
J. H. Spegner a short time ago. While these
facts arc generally known, yet some refuse to
believe him guilty of such a crime. Two
packages of strychnine have been found in the
bureau drawer. It is thought to have been
purchased some time ago for tho purpose of
killing crows. It is thought other parties will
be arrested in connection with tho crime.
George W. Parsons has been employed to rep
resent the prisoner. Drs. Toole and Gist will
make a post mortem examination on both
bodies.

A NEGRO SUICIDES IN A COURT ROOM
z.
Lincoln, Neb., October I.—[Special.]—Tho
sheriff of Shelby county, Tennessee, arrived
hero yesterday with Allicrt McMahon, whom
he arrested at Ord. Today he applied to Gov
ernor Thayer for extradition papers for McMa
hon, who is wanted in Memphis on the charge
of being concerned in the murder of a negro
near there last spring.
Both McMahon and tho murdered men were
employed in a saw mill. One day the negro got
into a quarrel with the proprietor, and struck
him. That night the proprietor,together with
several of his employes, of whom McMahon is
said to bo one, went to tho negro’s cabin. Tiie
mill owner shot him dead, and McMahon and
the rest threw his body into a creek.
A short time ago, while McMahon was at
Ord, a letter intended for him got into tho
hands of tho station agent. It road: “The
body of tho nigger has been discovered. Smith
and Brown in jail. Merrick turned state’s ev
idence. Skip to Canada.” The letter was
postmarked “Memphis, Tenn.,” and ad
dressed “Box 217, Ord, Neb.”
It was turned over to the sheriff and the
postmaster warned. In a day or two McMa
hon inquired for the mail in box 217. Ho was
arrested, and communication with the. Mem
phis authorities revealed the fact that ho was
one of the men wanted for the murder of tho
negro that night.
Henry Johnson Arrested While in the Act
of Prayer.
Rome, Ga., October 3.—[Special.]—Henry
Johnson, 21 years old, was found guilty this
afternoon, in the superior court, of assault with
intent to rape a little white girl seven years
old. Ho was recommended to the mercy of
tho court. Johnson lias been a prominent
member of the Salvation Army here, and took
an active part in tho campaign against the
devil.
Tho crime took place in Forrestville, upon
little Nora McGinnis, tho daughter of Mr. A.
P. McGinnis, He had enticed her away from
the house about 150 yards. He was frustrated
from his nurposo and left and went to his
home. Tho little child ran to the house, tell
ing her mother. Mrs. McGinnis went to his
house aud asked for him. Ho would not come
out. Ho changed his clothes and went out the
back way, and left for tho city. When Mr.
McGinnis returned front work at 7 o'clock, he
got some friends and began a search for him,
not knowing but that he was about in Forrost
ville. They could not find him. Mr. McGin
nis came to town and went to tho Salvation
Army hall, and behold, there he was on the
stand, in the act of prayer. Ho was doing his
best and swinging to ami fro in his supplica
tions, but as soon as ho saw Mr. McGinnis and
the officer he lost all faith and began to fail.
As soon as prayer was over, the officers pulled
him off the stand and carried him to tho lock
up. There was talk of lynching him.
A Negro Man Kills Three Members of His
Family.
M/ oisotr, Ga., October 3.—[Special.]—Tho
people of Morgan county are aroused by the
news of a terrible family tragedy which took
place sometime between Saturday night and
Sunday morning. About two o’clock on Sun
day morning the clatter of horse’s feet were
heard by Marshal Beardon, the rider, exclaim
ing in great excitement as he rode in: “1 want
a doctor! I want tho sheriff I Oldman Dow
Locket is dead 1 Aunt Lucy and Mollie have
their throats cut, and aro dying!”
Tho rider was a negro, named Bill, who
worked on tho plantation of Sir. Ajithony
Fannin, three miles from town. Upon tho
same plantation lived Dow Lockett, a venera
ble old negro, and his wife, Lucy. They had
but ono child with them, their daughter Mol
lie. Several years ago she accepted tho love
of Alexander Morris, a hand working upon an
adjoining plantation. For awhile all went
well, until jealousy entered tho heart of Mor
ris, and after that there was but little peace.
He whipped his wife frequently, and abused
her so tlint she was afraid of her life. Early
last week lie went home one night andronowed
his cruel treatment. Ho beat her until she
fell exhausted in a faint. Sometime during
the night her consciousness returned, when she
found her husband sleeping soundly beside her.
Stealthily sho arose, aud, slipping out of the
house, ran in desperation to the home of her
parents, wlioro she obtained refuge.
“About an hour ago,” said tho rider, “I
heard terrible screams, which were preceded
by a gunshot. Running out I saw a man at
Lockett's front door, pulling a woman out,
kicking her, and cutting wildly at her witli a
knife. Tho neighbors began to gather when
tho man ran off, and by the time the nature ot
his work was known, he had disappeared en
tirely. Tho woman in tho yard was Mollie,
the wife of Aleck Morris. Her throat was cut
clean across. The people went in and found
that Lockett was dead, while his wife was
almost dead, with her throat cut eleali across,
just like her daughter’s, outside. Thon I
jumped on my horse and rode into town after
a doctor. ”
A party was at once organized, consisting of
the coroner, sheriff, and several others, who
reached the scene of the tragedy at daylight.
Hundreds of excited negroes had gathered
at tho place, among whom tiie excite
ment was intense. All agreed that they
would lynch the murderer if they
could get him. Tho most fiendish forms of
torture were proposed for Morris. The wound
ed wife said that her husband camo to tho
house, as he claimed, to effect a reconciliation,
and wanted his wife to go back with him.
This she refused to do. Ho then said ho
would stay all night. When bedtime camo,
Lockett went to bed, sleeping on a pallet on
the floor, while his wife, Lucy, got into tho
bed, in the corner of the room, and Mollie got
on a bed in tho opposite side. What followed
can best be t<Jd in her own words, as told your
correspondent:
“Dad went to sleep about. 10 o’clock, and
was soon snoozing. Mam talked awhile, and
she, too, fell asleep, and left Aleck sitting in
tho door. Ho wanted mo to go back with him,
an’ sorter promised to go. 1 was ’fluid of liini.an’
then I wanted to get some money of mine ho
had, and I just talked kinder good to him.
By and by I fell asleep. When 1 waked up I
looked over to see mam stooping over dad’s
pallet trying to put out tho fire. Discover
was ablaze, and the room was full ot smoko.
Just then I saw a man spring on mam and
tiirow her to the floor. She sorter choked, and
I jumped out of bed. It was Aleck. He left
mam and sprang upon me, dragging mo out
tiie door io tiie ground. I saw a knife in his
hand. He struck at my throat, but I warded
it off; tho next lick and he cut me again and
again. I frit tho keen edge ot his knife.
Then lie jumped aud run. Aleck was not
drunk, and I don’t know why ho wanted to
kill us. Did not know dad was killed until
just before you camo. Tho shot must have
waked me.”
In the room Dow Lockett laid on his side
with his eyes closed in sleep. Ho evidently
died without a struggle, and never knew what
killed him. A double-barrel gun lay on tho
floor, with its muzzle not six inches from ids
head. It was his own gun, and the assassin had
to step over his sleeping form to get it from
the rack.
Sheriff Hillsman at once sent for Twin Pow
ell’s dogs. The animals took up tlio scent with
out trouble, running in the direction of New*
tomgounty. AVhcn last heard from they were
lialf way between Madison and Atlanta, while
tho pursuing party of whites and blacks was
being increas'd asit wentalong by people anx
ious to join in tho lynching of tlio triple mur
derer.
A Little Sensation In San Francisco How
Verdicts Are Obtained.
San FitANCisco, OctoW G.—Ex-State Sena
tor Creighton was convicted in tlio superior
court lu re, a few days ago, on tlio charge of
jury bribing in connection witli a suit for dam
ages commenced against the Ulster Street
r dread company a few years ago, by a widow,
whose husband had been mu over and killed
by one oi tho company's cars. Indictments
tor trying to bribe the Jury in this case were
found recently against Robert A. Morrow, a
millionaire, and principal stockliolder ot tho
Ulster street railroad, J. It. McCord, a prom
inent politician and cx-wirs lintcndent of tho
road; Mr. Creighton and F. N. Northoy, two
lo'-al politicians who, it is claimed, were em
ployed by Morrow and MeCord to bribe the
jury to render a verdict favorable to the cor
poration. Creighton is tho only one who has
been tried, and wiien lie was eonvicted the
court ordered him to appear today for sentence.
In tlio meantime, rumors circulated that
Creighton had left the city.
I lie court immediately issued a bench war
rant for his arrest, and the police authorities
have been searching for him, but without suc
cess. Tho penalty for Creighton’s offense is
from ono to ten years' imprisonment, and
there seems to be no doubt that lie lias left tlio
state.
Advices from Tucson, Arizona, last night,
state that ho had passed through that place,
and it is suppose here that ho was on his way
to Mexico. Tho chief of police has telegraph
ed a description of Creighton to various points,
vvith orders for his arrest if found. These cases
of jury bribing, together with similar charges
recently made against Christopher Buckley, a
politician, aud several other parties of more or
less prominence, luivo created a groat sensa
tion in this city. Tho latter charges are now
being investigated by the grand jury, and
among the evidence in their possession are cer
tain documents which indicate that an associa
tion of Chinamen raised a fund of §IO,OOO for
the protection and defense of its members, and
bribes were paid out by tho association through
these political leaders to a superior judge,
jurors mid various court officers.
AV ho Twice Brings the Lessees Into the
Supreme Court.
Chattanooga, Tonn., October 6.—[Special.!
E. 11. Johnson, of Chicago, better known a s
tlio express robber of Memphis, was set at lib
erty today. In 1875, lie was arrested at Mem
phis for iui express robbery, and sentenced to
21 years in tho penitentiary. He is a very in
telligent man, and during 1884, is said to have
framed a bill while serving his term, that has
resulted in his liberty. Tlio bill, which be
came a law, shortened tho good time allowed
prisoners. His sentence had already been
commuted to 16 years, for services during a
tiro in the penitentiary. When tho good
time law went into effect, he petitioned for a
writ of habeas corpus, on tho ground that his
term had expired, and Judge Frank Reid, of
Nashville, released him.
lie was at liberty 18 months, during which
the supremo court reversed tiie decision ot
Judge Roid, and Johnson was sent back to the
mines at Inman. A month ago ho petitioned
for a writ of. habeas corpus on tho ground
that the penitentiary lessees gave him his
freedom for 18 monihs, and that, time should
count as a part of his term which, if included,
would finish his teitn under the old good time
law. Today Judge Trewhitt, of tho circuit,
court, rendered a decision to that effect .set
ting Johnson free. The penitentiary lessees
immediately appealed tho case to tho'supremo
court, and Johnson was released on §2,000
bond. Although a convict for thirteen years
ho lias twice brought tho penitentiary lessees
as represent utives of tlio state into tho
supremo court as defendants.
Morehead, Ky., Surrounded by Armed
Logan Men.
Lexington, Ky., October s.—News was re
ceived here last night that more trouble was
brewing In Morehead, the scene of the recent
Tolliver outrage. The report says this morn
ing eighteen men, armed witli Wincheßtars
came from Soljors station on the Columbus

long to the Logan faction aud aro gathering
because nows has been brought, that a
party of Tolliver’s friends intend to come
from Elliott County, and burn the town.
Boone Logan is in Morehead, and it was lie
who ordered tiie assembling of tlio mon. 11 is
certain that messengers sent to bring in more
mon got on the train at Morehead today, and
that A. W. Young boarded the train at Mount
Sterling and went to Morehead, Everybody
feels that there is trouble of the very'worst
sort ahead. Judge Dohason will hold a special
term of the court at, Morehead some time this
month for tho trial of Harris, alias Pendulum,
for conspiracy to murder Judge Colo and Tay

Tragedy in the Courtroom in Chattanooga,
Which Resulted in Death.
Chattanooga, Tenn., October 5.—A thrill
ing tragedy was enacted in tho circuit court
room this morning. Sam Branch, a colored
man, was on trial for larceny. As the jury
filed into the courtroom ho was noticed to
tremble and turn deathly pale.
“What is your verdict?” asked flic judge.
“Guilty of grand larceny,” replied tlio fore
man.
“ What is your sentence?”
“Five years in tho penitentiary.”
As the words were uttered by the foreman,
Branch exclaimed, “God Knows I’m inno
cent,” aud pulling a largo knife from his
pocket tlirust it into his throat. Tho blood
spurted over the jury box and judge’s desk,
and the negro was dead in thirty minutes.
A Second Flight.
Bkkwton, Ala., October?. —[Special.]—The
flight of Dr. J. T. B. Foard for tlio second
time, when ire had faithfully promised his
friends to answer tho charges against him in
court, renews tho sensation, which accom
panied the first announcement of his defalca
tion. For many years the doctor had been a
prominent figure in the politics of south Ala
bama. Ho was courtly in address, had about
him tho manner of a confidence man, and in
gratiated himself into tho best circles both of
society and of polities. Where ho came from
was not known, and ho made himself so
thoroughly at home that no ono thoughit of
him other than as one of tho pillars who had
grown up witli the place. Ju IX7B he was
elected superintendent of education lor Es
cambio county, which ho held, witli
tho confidence of tho people, until tho fall of
1884. About that time ho was offered a prom
inent consulship by President Arthur, but ho
declined to accept the same. Shortly after
ward he made a trip to Mobile, aud there dis
appeared from sight. It was known that, he
had with him over five thousand dollars of tho
school fund, and from this it was argued that
ho must, have been tolled off by some wickoil
men and murdered. A further investigation
of his books showed that he had been system
atically swindling tho county from tliii first
day that he went into oflice, some of tho (uses
so far back that act ion on them was barred by
the statute of limitations. Besides these cases
were brought to light in which lieliadlloeccd nu
merous citizens. lie sold the various lixteintli
sections in tho county b< longing Hi tho school
fund lor large amounts during his administra
tion. It was ascertained at Montgomery that
these sales had never been reported to the su
perintendent of education, and that, conse
quently, tho refugee must have pocketed that
money also.
Not withstanding these damaging disclosures
ho bad a strong array of friends who stuck
closely by him, and declared that if given a
chance to do so, ho would clear it all up. It
was with jubilation, therefore, that they
hailed tho return of Foard about six months
ago. He camo back breathing vengeance aud
libel suits against his detractors and slander
ers, and easily gave bond for his appearance at
the forthcoming term of Escambia court. Yes
terday was set for trial, and the bondsmen be
came a little uneasy when their principal did
not put in his threatened appearance. Tho
case was held over a day, when Dr. Foard’s
second flight became au assured fact, and tho
court ordered a forfeiture of tho bonds. This
has created a howl among the bondsmen, and
if they could lay hands on the wily doctor to
night, they would give him a lively shaken
up.

h DRUGGIST'S MISTAKE.
A Sick Min’s Wife Disregards tho Druggist's Ad
vice and so Saves the Life of Iler Husband.
I am a wood carver by trade and it is ont
of my line to write letters, but my wife
thought it was no more than right that I
should let you know what your remedy has
done for me, and I think so too.
I live in East 157th street, west of Third
avenue, and have lived there for about
twenty-three years, where I own real estate.
Up to the time I am about to mention I had
been a strong, well man. There was always
more or less malaria in the neighborhood,
but I had not. personally suffered from it. It
was in 1880 I had my first attack. It came
on as such attaclcs commonly do, with head
aches, loss of appetite and ambition, chilly
sensations with slight fever afterwards, a
disposition to yawn and stretch, and so
forth. I was employe.! at, that time at Kil
lians <fc Brothers, fnrnitare manufacturers,
en West 32d street. I hoped the attack
would wear off, but as it didn’t I consulted
wail-known and able physician in Morris
ania, who gave me quinine and told me wha
to do. I can sum up the first four and a half
or five years of my experience in few words.
Occasionally I was laid up for a day or two,
but on the whole I stuck to my work. I kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from year to
year, and kept on getting weaker and worse,
slowly but surely, all the time. My trouble
was now well defined and its symptoms were
steady and regular. I had dumb ague in its
worst form, and it was grinding me doxyn iu
spite of all that I could do or the doctors
could do. It. held me in a grip like fire in d
burning coal mine. The poison had gone all
through aud over me and nothing was able
to touch it. I was fast losing flesh and
strength, and about. March, 1884,1 knocked
off work entirely and went home to be down
sick, and to die for all I could tell. I ran
down so rapidly that I soon became unable
to walk any distance. Later I went from
room to room in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. Tha
doses of quinine were increased until Icfitcn
took thirti/ grains at a dose. The effects
of this tremendous stimulation was to make
me nearly wild. It, broke my sleep all up,
and I often walked the floor, or staggered
about it, all night long, scarcely able to bear
any noises or even human speech. My tern,
per was ext remely irritable. As to food, one
of my little children would eat mom in a
meal than I could in a day. I would order
food and then turn from it in disgust. I
lived on quinine and other stimulants and
on myself, like a bear in winter. The quin
ine set my head in a whirl, and the liquor—-
given as a medicine— made my stoiflach so
sick I could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper weight) I
ran down to 1)7 pounds—the weight of a
light girl—and was scarcely better than a
skeleton.
If anybody had taken a Ratchet and
knocked me down and killed me I should
hare, been better ofi.
During the latter part of this period, early
in 1886, my physician said: “Miller, there's
no use in iny taking any more money of you,
I can’t do you any good. I might pour
pounds of quinine down your throat and it
wouldn’t help you.”
On the strength of this I gave up the usa
of quinine altogether, and made up my mind
to do nothing more and take my chances.
Three weeks afterwards—about thelastof
May—my wife saw an advertisementof Kas
kine in a New York paper. She told me <if
it. I said: “Stuff and nonsense! it can’t
do me any good.” But sho went to a drug
gist's, nevertheless, to get it. The druggist
advised her against, Kaskine; he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not to
throw away her money on It,, &c. lie said
lie didn’t keep it, but could get it if she in
sisted on having it. Turning away in din*
gust my wife spoke to our neighbor, Mr. A.
G. Hegewajd, who got her a bottle at a drug
store in Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without the
least faith, 1 began taking It. In one week
I was bettor. 1 begun to sleep. I stopped
“seeing ghosts.” I began to have an appe
tite and to gain strength. This was now the
first of June, 1886, and by the end of that
month I was back at my bench at C. P.
Smith’s scroll sawing factory ini Iflth street,
where I work now.
Since then I have never lost a day from
sickness. Taking Kaskine only, about forty
pellets in four equal doses a day, I continu
ed to gain. The malaria appeared to be
killed in my system, and now I’ve got back
my old weight—l7s pounds—and my old
strength to labor. lam an astonishment to
myself and to my friends, and if Kaskine
did not do this I don’t know what did. The
only greater thing it could do would b e
bring a dead inan to life.

r. S.—For the absolute truth of the above
statement I refer to the following gentle
men, who are personally acquainted with
the facts: Mr. Alexander Weir, 626 156th
street; Mr. George Seaman, lofithstreet and
Courtlandt avenue; Mr. A. Moebus, 154th

Vaupel, 154th street and Courtlandt avenue;
Mr. John Lunny, 630 East 1 JBth street; Mr.
John Renshaw, 124 125th street, and many
others. I w ill also reply to letters ofeinqnlry.
Wo submit that tho above astonishing
cure, vouched for as it Is by reputable men,
is deserving of a thorough and candid inves
tigation by thinking people. And we fur
ther submit that when druggists turn away
customers by falsifying the character of a
remedy because they do not happen to havo
it on hand, they do a great wrong. If this
afflicted man had not disregarded the drug
gist’s advice and sent elsewhere for the
remedy he would without doubt have been
in his grave.
Ollier letters of a similar character front
prominent Individuals, which stamp Kaskine
as a remedy of undoubted merit, will bo sent
on application. Price SI.OO, or six bottles
