Dear Sir:—There have been
560 yards chert used on Second
avenue. The average width of
same is about 40 feet—which is
i
fourteen yards for every foot of
width of the street. This chert
cost 874 cents per cubic yard,

rolled. The street car track is
' covered somewhat more thinly
than balance of street. I should
say 10 yards per foot of track
will cover it. Respectfully,

|by authority of the Bam* that
section 246 of the code of the

adding thereto the following

Fs a deep-seated blood disease which
all the mineral mixtures in the world
cannot cure. S.S.S. {guaranteedpurely

blood diseases and has no equal.
Mrs. Y.T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had
Scrofula for twenty-five years and most
of the time was under the care of the
doctors who could not relieve her. A
specialist said he
/ could cure her, but

soon found that she had a real blood
remedy at last. She says: ‘‘After tak
ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am
perfectly well, my skin is clear
and healthy and I would not be in
my former condition for two thousand
dollars. Instead of drying upthe pots' n
in my system, like the potash and

through the skin, and I was perma

SCROFULA
It is Foul Blood’s Advertise
ment
■ut It is Soon Cured by Hood’s
Sarsaparilla.
Yee, Scrofula, if anything, niny be called
the advertisement of foul blood. It- la the
■courge of the world —offensive, pailful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they eaunot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almoet invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Read this:
“My daughter was afflicted with Im
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told mo about Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla and I began giving the girlthismed
icino. The result was that she was ptr
sctly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
tores since that time.” Marietita M.
Smith, Sout h Middleboro, Mass.

Perry, Ok., Sept. 28. —Late last

A .C. Hinde, a well known hard
ware merchant, was standing in

the negro passed him he struck
Hinde a heavy blow with the piece
of board. Hinde was knocked
senseless and it was thought for
some time that he would not live.
A hundred men pursued the negro,

Two Girls Hamed Era Gill.
Which Murdered?
DR. GILFORD IS GOG.
Police Put Plumbers T n Work
In Dr. Nancy’s Home.
Bridgep r , Conn., Sept. 28.
The police learned today that
there have been two Emma Gills
in Startford. They think it possi
ble that the Emma Gill who was
murdered may have been cut up
there and not in Brdgeport.
Bridgeport, Conn., Sept. 28
Detectives in Liverpool have been
cabled to arrest. Dr. Nancy Guil
ford, in the dismembered-body
case, wliea shi shall arrive. She is
supposed to be on the Vancouver,
which is about due .
Manslaughter is row the charge
against Ox’ey Guernsey.
It was learned that the brother
of Harry Oxley, who visited him
■it the jail, took into his confidence
a friend in this city, told him the
substance wf a confession alleged
to have been made to-tbe police
by the airested man.
The brother gaid that when Har
ry was arrested his motner toid
hun to tell the whole truth in the
case, and this is his story:
“Emma Gill told me of har con
dition and I told Guernsey, ami
the latter told me to ’marry the
girl if I felt sure the responsibility
was mine. Iwint to Emma Gill
and express dmy willingness to
marry her, but she said this was
unnecessary; that she kn-w Dr.
Guilford, and tl at she could cure
her of her trouble by an operation
and she would get out of her
trouble that way. She did not
wish to marry me because therewas
another fellow( Koster) who want
’d lo marry her and did not know
her tru i character. He would make
her a better home, she thought
than I could and considered him a
better catch. ”
Albeit H. Oxley, the Southing
ton young man, whoii the police
here say paid Dr. Nancy Guilford
for performing a criminal op
eration upon Emma Gill, was this
morning arraigned before Magis
trate Carroll in the local
Police Ceurt on tin charge of
mans'aughter. Without being pot
to plea his case wasj continued
until Saturday next, bond being
fixed at S3OOO.
Detective Captain George Arnold
was asked today if hu believed that
the handsaw found in the Drayton
home yesterday had been used i.i
the dismemberment of Emma
Gill’s body. He said:
“That question I can not answer
but, I will say there is no doubt
in my mind that Rosa Drayton
assisted in the cutting.”
The two Drayton women, col
ored servants in the employ of
Dr. Nanc/ Guilford, were brought
to Chief of Police Birmingham’s
office today, and shown the blood
stained saw foundjat their home.
One of them fainted away. They
were then sent back to jaii.
The police put plumbers so
work in Nancy Guilford's house
today, and hops thereby to get
impoitant evidence in Ihe case.
Another handsaw was found in
the house, concealed under a re
frigerator. The police will not
speak of or show the find.
Nancey Guilford's lawyer,Jacob
Klein, says the police will admit
within three days that his client
was not connected with the Gill
case.
It is reported that « local doctor
is under suspicion.
