W
Ftftt Express Almost Demolished
at Jersey City.
Dprnilpd Coache* Dash Into a Side-Tracked
Coal Train—Twenty-one IVrsons
Injured.
New York, January HO.--The fast ex
press on the Bouud Brook Railroad was
running sixty miles ail hour on the out
skirts of Jersey City, when a wheel of one
of the forward coaches broke, causing those
which followed to leave the track. The de
railed cars crashed into a coal train stand
ing on a siding, upsetting the coal cars,and
completely wrecking the coaches. Only a
miracle saved the lives of the eighty-two
passengers on the train. The whole train,
which consisted of four cars,was completely
wrecked and the coaches almost torn to
pieces. Twenty-one persons were injured,
many of them seriously, and some, it is
thought, fatally. Most of the injured are
from Philadelphia. This was the regular
fast express, which makes the run between
Philadelphia and New York in two hours.
The train consisted of a combination smok
ing and baggage car, parlor car and two
coaches, which were demolished beyond
repair. It is estimated that the wreck will
cost the company SIOO,OOO.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Mrs. Pollard Saved from Suffocation by the
Intelligence of Her Dog.
Nfw York, January SO.—Mrs. Marie An
toinette Pollard, elocutionist and lecturer,
and widow of the Southern historian, E.
A. Pollard, sat waiting until after midnight
on Thursday night in the front hall-room
on the second floor of No. 45 West Four
teen street. She had locked the door of her
office and the key was in her pocket.
Her coach dog Julia, lay on the
floor beside her chair. Prof. B. P. Wor
cester was asleep in the front office. C.
Y. Turner, proprietor of the
artist’s studio on the top floor of the three
story building, was asleep with his brother
Thomas. Mrs. Pollard was at work on her
new lecture, “The Glorious South of W 5,”
and was so much absorbed in the task that
she did not notice how late it M as. Her dog
had been restless and had acted in a pe
culiar, nervous manner for some time.
Finally the animal howled (piteously and
Mrs. Pollard, started from her M-ork, noticed
that it was 1:30 a. M. Her room was half
full of smoke at the time, but she had not
noted the fact. She tried to open the hall
door to ascertain M-here the smoke oume
from, but forgot that the key was in
her pocket. Becoming alarmed, she
pounded on the floor leading to the choir
school until she awoke Prof. Worcester.
He opened the door and they M-ent into the
hall together. Smoke mbs rising from the
first floor in dense clouds. The Professor
ran down to the street and sent out an alarm
of fire. Then they opened a front M-indoM
and M ere helped down the ladder by the
fireman. The flames had started in Bass
ford’s store, from an overheated stove, and
had extended to the roof along the stair
ways in the hall. Rooms on the upper
floors had not been invaded M’hen the fire
Mas put under control. The losses aggre
gate about $16,000.

Resulted In I.oss of Life.
Buffalo, N. Y., January 30.--The toM-n

by fire last night. But for the effective
M-ork done by a portion of the Buf
falo Fire Department, the townJNvould
have been consumed, and as it M-as, to o
lives M-ere lost as a result of the fire.
It originated in the three-story building,
corner of Main and Lake streets, owned
by the Martin estate and occupied by M.
H. Kynock, in the lodge room of the Ju

All escaped, so far as known noM-,
except a little ten-year-obi son of Thomas
Pair. Many jumped from the
third-story windows, and a number Mere
injured. A daughter of Fred. Baugerts
broke a leg and m as otherwise injured, but
probably not fatally. William Tnonipson,
an old resident sixtv-five years of age, be
came so excited that his death M - as caused.
He M-alked two blocks to the fire, remained
a few minutes and then went home,and im
mediately fell in a fit of apoplexy and died.
Several buildings adjoining were con

A Remarkable Story In Telegraphy, t>>
Which a Gang of Burglar* Wero
Completely Foiled by Two
Young Girl*.
WesIeWILLIE, Pa., January 28.—Mr.
and Mrs. Guthrie, M-ith their daughters,
Idalie and Jeanuie, and son Harry, live in
a-lonely suburb, three miles from town.
Ov ing to its isolation the house Mas
firmly secured against thieves. Mr,
Guthrie is a traveling salesman, and the
small farm is worked by a nephew named
Edward Camper. Mr. Guthrie returned
home Saturday evening, with considerable
money. Soon after his arrival he M-as
handed a letter imploring him to repair
to the bedside of his dying mother M-ho lives
near here. Upon receipt of this distressing
news Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie and the nephew
left, leaving the two daughters in the house
alone, the lad being in this village practic
ing telegraphy. Six months ago the boy
obtained permission to sit and watch the
operators in the Lake Shore depot. It be
onnie a passion with him. At meals he
M-ould spell out messages M-ith his spoon on
the cups. To facilitate his studies he had a
M-ire across the fields to a house in M-hich
lived a companion named Higgins. M-ho M as
as much infatuated as himself, and the tM-o
lads have been knoM-n to sit for a whole
day telegraphing to each other. For pas
time Miss Jeanuie took the instrument and
soon became proficient in telegraphy.
About three hours alter the parents left
Saturday night, Miss Idalie thought she
heard' a noise outside the house, and,
upon looking from an open M-iu
dow, discovered four masked men
standingnear theporch in consultation. The
brave girls demanded of the men M-ho and
M-hat they were. They were told to unbar
the door on the fpain of death. This the
young girls determined not to do. having
confidence in the bolts and bars. Then the
burglars set to work filing the iron bars of
the first floor M-indoM-s. The young ladies
knew that M-ith the bars removed access
would be easy. Suddenly Miss Jeannie
Mas inspired M-ith an idea.“ The teleg? - aph !”
and darting to her brother’s room her fin
gers closed over the key, which she M-orked
hoping that her brother Mas still at the
Higgins homestead, in M-hich case she could
tell him of their danger, and bring rescuers.
The instrument gave back no sound. “Har
ry, for God’s sake, ansM-er,” ticked the
instrument, but Harry had left
the house some minutes before,
his chum walking part of the M-ay home
M-ith him. The alarm of the girls was in
creased by the fear that their brother
would be set upon by the burglars Mhen
he reached the house. The files of the vil
lains had by this time cut through one of
the bars, and the removal of two more
would admit them. In their despair Miss
Idalie hit upon another expedient. In
their practicing M-ith Henry they had tel
egraphed M-ith flags and lights. Getting
out a small family magic lantern, they
darkened the room and lit the lantern,
placing it in a M-indoM- looking doM-n the
road M-hich Henry M-ould come. Then with
a book in front of the lens, the young lady
commenced to signal M ith long * flashes for
dashes and short ones for dots. When a few
minutes later they discerned the glimmer
of his hand-lantern in the distance, the
young girls became almost frenzied
with excitement. Henry Guthrie had
parted from his and was near
ing his father’s house, when his attention
M-as attracted by a poM-erful light and its
peculiar flashes from an upper
M-indow. He M-atched the lights
with great curiosity as he ad
vanced when suddenly itdnM-ned upon him
that the signals M ere telegraphic. Halting
he put doM n his lantern and spelled out the
signals: “Harry, stop!” “Harry, stop!”
He stopped, and M-aved his lantern up and
doM-n to let his signalers know lie. had ob
served them. His sisters almost fainted
from joy M-hen they saw they M-ere success
ful. In a few moments they told the dis
tant boy of their danger, and had the joy
of seeing his light recede. He had gone to
arouse the Higginses. Twenty minutes
later Dan Higgins, Grandpa Higgins
three farm hands nnd Henry sur
prised the robbers, Mho by this time had
effected an entrance in the lower part of
the house, and Mere robbing the drawers.
Two succeeded in escaping, but the others
M-ere captured. When the masks M-ere re
moved one of the villains M-as recognized as
Dan SchaM-, a boon companion of the
nephew, Camper. This fellow made the
startling revelation that the Mhole affair
had been planned by Camper, M-ho had
forged the letter calling Mr. and Mrs.
Guthrie and himself away.

DESPERATE DYNAMITERS.
Fiendish Attempt to Blow Up a
New York Dry Goods House.
Evidently the Work of Strikers— Two Build
ing* Damaged, But no one Hurt.
New Yore, February ). —At a late
hour last night an explosion took place
underneath the show window of Garry
Brothers’ dry goods store, Grand and Al
len streets. The window casing and sash
were entirely demolished. At the time of
the explosion r. number of persons were
passing the spot, but none of them M ere
injured. The M-indows of Ridley Bros.’
were also shattered. The shock Mas felt
several hundred feet. A lamp on a shelf
in the Eldridge Street House, three hundred
feet away,was thrown to the floor. Dishes
in tenement houses in the neighborhood rat
tled, and the iron Stanchions of the Ele
vated Railroad, near the store, look as
though they had received violent blows.
There is no evidence that tbo cartridge was
applied to Ridley’s store. Had- it not been
for the heavy elevated railroad structure
M-hich runs up Allen street betM-een the two
stores, hoM-ever, the probability is a good
part of the west side of Ridley’s building
M-ould have suffered. Many of Ridley’s em
ployes came to the spot to guard the prem
ises. The damage to both buildings is $2,-
600. The police nre satisfied that the ex
plosion M-as the outcome of the strike of
Garry Brothers’ employes. Burke, a former
clerk,of the firm, and who caused the strike,
M-as dismissed for failingone night to prop
erly secure the doors of the establishment.
The Dry Goods Clerks’ Union, of M-hich he
is a member, tried many methods to secure
his reinstatement. Thev went so far as to
station men in the vicinity of the store and
ask intending purchasers to boycott the
firm. When the strike was ordered by the
Union,the firm Mas left M-ithout a clerk.
Shortly after the explosion four men M ere
found in the shadow of the Rivingston
street Station of the elevated road, one of
them, Charles Henry, a laborer, M-ho said
he lived at Williamsburg, M ith severely cut
head and face. The others, Win. Britton,
a waiter; Jas. Daly, a clerk, and Jos.
Lamb, a painter, were binding Henry’s
M ounds. All were arrested and remanded.
To-day a lad Mas arrested, charged Mith
experimenting in dynamite, at the corner
of Grand and Essex streets, M-here he suc
ceeded in dislodging a portion of the horse
car track. It could not be connected with
the other explosion.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Remarkable Statement of Personal Dan*
get* and Providential Escape.
The following story—which is attracting
wide attention from the press—is so ro
markable that wo can not excuso ourselves
if we do not lay it before our renders, even
though its length would ordinarily pre
clude its admission to our limited space.
To the Editor Rochester (X. Y.) Democrat:
Sip. —On the first day of June, 1881, I lay
at my residence in this city surrounded by
my friends aud waiting for death. Heaven
only knows the agony I then endured, for
words can never describe it. And yet, if
a few years previous auy one had told me
that 1 was to be brought so low, aud by so
terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at
the idea. I bad always been uncommonly
strong and healthy, aud weighed over 200
pounds and hardly kuew, in my own ex
perience what pain or slckhess were.
Very m.my people who will read this
statement realize at times that they aro
Unusually tired and can not account for it.
They feel dull pains in various parts of the
body and do not understand it. Or they
are exceedingly hungry one day and en
tirely without appetite the next. This was
just the way 1 felt when the relentless
malady which had fastened itself upon me
first began. Still I thought nothing of it;
that probably 1 had taken a cold which
would soon pass away. Shortly alter this
I noticed a heavy, and at times neuralgic,
pain in one side of my head, but as it
would come one day and be gono the next,
I paid little attention to it. Then my
stomach would get out of order and my
food often failed to digest, causing at
times great inconvenience. Yet, even as a
physician, i did not think that these
things meant anything serious. I fancied
1 was suffering from malaria and doctored
myself accordingly. Hut 1 got no better.
I next noticed a peculiar color and odor
about the fluids 1 wag passing—also that
there were large quantities one day and
very little the next, and that A persistent"
froth and scum appeared upon the surface,
and a sediment settled. And vet I did not
realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing
these symptoms continually, J finally be
came accustomed to them, and mv sus
picion was wholly disarmed by the fact
that I hod no pain in the affected organs
Or iu their vicinity. Why I should have
been .so blind I ennuot understand.
I consulted the best medical skill in the
land. T visited all the famed mineral
springs in America and traveled from
Maine to California. Still 1 grew worse.
No two physicians agreed as to my mala
dy. One said 1 was troubled with spinal
irritation: another, dyspepsia; another,
heart-disease; another, general debility;
another, congestion of the base of the
brain; am) so on through a long list of
common diseases, the symptoms of many
of which I really had. In this »vay sever
al years passed, during \ hich time I was
Steadily growing worse. My condition
bad really become pitiable/ "The slight
symptoms I at first experienced were de
veloped into terrible aud constant disor
ders. My weight had been reduced from
207 to It! 1 . 1 pounds. My life was a burden
to myself and friends. I could retain no
food on my "stomach, and lived wholly by
injections. I was a living mass of pain.
My pulse was uncontrollable. Inmyagonv
1 frequently fell to the floor and clutched
the carpet, and prayed for death. Mor
phine had little or no effect in deadening
the pain. For six days aud nights I had
the ciegth-premonitory hiccoughs constant
ly. My water was filled with tube-casts
and albumen. I was struggling with
Bright’s Disease of the kidneys in its last
stages 1
While •suffering thus I received a call
from my pastor, Rev. Dr. Foote, at that
time rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church,
of this city. I felt that it was our last in
terview, but in the course of conversation
Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remark
able cures of cases like my own which had
come, under his observation, by means of a
remedy which he urged me to try. As a
practicing phvsbirin and a graduate of tho
schools, I derided the idea of auy medicine
outside the regular channels being in tho
least beneficial. Bo solicitous, however,
was,Dr. Foote, that .1 finally promised 1
ivouid waive my prejudice; I began its
use the first day of June, 1881, and todk it
according to directions. At first it sickened
me; but this I thought was a good sign for
one in my debilitated condition. I contin
ued to take it; the sickening sensation de-
F'Orted aud I was finally nble to retain
odd upon iiiy SldmSCh. Iu a few days I
noticed a decided chauge for the better, AS
also did my wife aud friends. My hic
coughs ceased and I experienced less pain
than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this
improved condition that, upon what I be
lieved but afewdp . s before was my dying
bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family
and friends, should I recover I would both
publicly and privately make known this
remedy for the good of humanity,
wherever and whenever I had an oppor
tunity, aud this letter is in fulfillment of
that vow. My improvement was constant
from that time, and in less than three
months I had gained tweuty-six pounds ill
flesh, became entirely free from pain, and
I believe I owe my life and present condi
tion wholly to Warner’s Safe Cure, which
remedy 1. used.
Since my recovery I have thoroughly re
investigated the subject of kidney difficul
ties and Brignt’s disease, aud the truths
developed aro astounding. I therefore
state, deliberately, and ns a physician,
that 1 believe more than one-halt the deaths
which occur in America arc " caused bij
Bright's disease of the- kidneys. This may
sound like a rash statement, but I am pre
pared to fully verify it. Bright’s disease
has no distinctive symptoms of its own (in
deed, it often develops without any pain
whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity),
but has the symptoms of nearly every
other common complaint. Hundreds of
people die daily, whose burials are author
ized by a physician’s certificate as occur
ring from “ Heart Disease,” “Apoplexy,”
“Paralysis,” “Spinal Complaint,” “Rheu
matism,” “ Pneumonia.” and other com
mon complaints, when in reality it is from
Bright’s disease of the kidneys. Few phy
sicians, and fewer people, realize the ex
tent of this disease or its dangerous and in
sidious nature. It steals into the system
like a thief, manifests its presence if at all
by tho commonest symptoms and fastens
itself upon the constitution before the vic
tim is aware of it. It is nearly as heredi
tary ns consumption, quite as common and
fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting
it from their ancestors, have died, and yet
noucofthe number knew or realized the
mysterious power which was removing
them. Instead of common symptoms it
often shows none whatever, but brings
death suddenly, from convulsions, apo
plexy or heart disease. As one who has
suffered, and knows by bitter experience
tvbatho says, I implore everyone who
reads these words not to neglect, the slight
est symptoms of kidney difficulty. Certain
agony and probable death will be the sure
result of such neglect, and no one can af
ford to hazard such chances.
J am aware that such an unqualified
statement ns this, coming from me, known
as I nm thrcnghout the entire land as a
practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the
surprise and possible animosity of the
medical profession and astonish all with
whom I am acquainted, hut [ make the
foregoing statements based upon facts
which I am prepared to produce and truths
which I can substantiate to the letter. The

Domestic Intelligence,
A Dallas servant girl walked into her
mistresses’ parlor and said to the latter:
“I wish you would.give me a certifi
cate, I wish to leave.’”
“Give you a certificate! Why, you
lazy worthless creature, what sort of a
certificate do you expect from me?
You don’t expect me to say that I am
satisfied with you, do you?”
‘•Oh, no. I would not have you to
say that for the world. That might, get
me into trouble. All I want, you to cer
tify is that I held out in your house for
three whole weeks. Everybody in town
knows what sort of a woman you are,
and that will be the best certificate 1
could possibly have.”— Texas Siftings.
