I would lie awake all night long, and it took but little I| J \ y kv JP to shake me up So that J could not possibly attend to my business as I should. In connection with this I had liver trouble, heaviness about the stomach, and pains in different parts of my body. I was also much .. reduced in flesh. I was persuaded to try Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. 1 first procured a trial bottle from a local druggist and good results quickly followed. I then procured a dollar bottle, and by the time I haa used this up I was a different man. I am now on my third bottle and am able to sleep soundly and eat regularly, something I could not possibly do before taking your Nervine. I am now pally recovered, and do not hesitate to pronounce Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine the greatest nervine on earth.” Fulton, Ky. R. T. CALDWELL.

John Steele, 22tf Trustee of Washington Tp. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, ofiDfainondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this abstract: “I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rivers J unction she was brought with pneumonia succeeding lagrippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery”, it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory results.” Trial bottles free at Blackburn & Miller’s drug store. Regular size 50c and SI.OO. Samuel G. Parent, ex-mayor or Union City,(fell down a flight of stairs at his home yesterday and sustained fatal iniuiies. ” Harry Gee and a friend of Richmond attempted to board a moving train on their way to Dayton to enlist in the regular army. Gee missed his hold and fell under the wheels, losing a leg. He will not be a soldier. Electric Bitters. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any st qson, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid, exhausted feelprevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, indigestion constipation, dizziness yield taiElectric Bitters. 50 c. and SI.OO per bottle at Blackburn & Miller's drug Store. Dr. Dougan Clark of Richmond, who recently went to the Johns Hopkins sanitarium, Baltimore, for treatment, is said to be suffering from cancer of the stomach and recovery is improbable.

NO SETTLEMENT YET. T> Both Sides Remain Firm In the Philadelphia Streetcar Strike. MEN WANT TO ARBITRATE. Traction Company Will Have Nothing to Do With Anyone Connected With the Amalgamated Association — City Well Guarded by Police—Strikers Instructed to Hold Themselves In Readiness. Philadelphia, Deo. 20.—The traction strike situation last night was practically unchanged. Cars were run on some lines durin# the day under heavy police guard, but at dusk they were all withdrawn. There were fewer outbreaks during the day, and none of consequence. This was the result of the rigid police regulations and the fact that the streets where the greater crowds congregated were picketed with mounted squadrons of armed officers. Up to a late hour last night the electrical workers of the company were in session. They passed a resolution of sympathy for the strikers, appropriated |22 for their aid, and said they were willing to go oh strike whenever the request was made by President Mahon of the amalgamated association. All day and night rumors of arbitration were plentiful. The strikers are willing to submit their grievance to an arbitration committee, but the company refuses to have anything to do with anybody associated with the amalgamated association. At a largely attended massmeeting last night Leader Mahon instructed the men to be ready to return to work at a moment’s notice. A committee of two strikers, who don’t belong to the Amalgamated association and who have been employes of the company for many years, will resume work today and will later ask President Welsh for arbitration. They will present a letter written by prominent citizens urging him to consent to the proposition. Assistant Postmaster General Neilson arrived here yesterday and consulted the authorities regarding the trolley mail service. Reports were so unsatisfactory that a letter was sent to President Welsh requesting whether or not trips will be made mi schedule time. Extra deputy marshals will be sworn in and prompt measures taken to see that, this service is not interfered with. WORK OF CANNIBALS. Carter Harrison’s Son Tails His Experience In the Solomon Islands. Sax Francisco, Dec. 20.—William P. Harrison, son of Carter H. Harrison, the late mayor of Chicago, arrived in this city yesterday from an extended trip to the antipodes. During his stay on the Solomon.islands he states that over 25 individuals were devoured by the cannibals, six whites and 19 natives. By accident he escaped the same fate. The Samoan natives, he says, are planning another uprising. -CHICAGO SLURBS FLOODED. Much Inconvenience to Citizens. Chicago, Dec. 20. —Owing to the continued downpour of rain the situation in some portions of the city is becoming serious. In the suburb of Moreland mauy hundreds of people are prisoners in their own houses. The water has filled the streets and in many instances the people have been compelled to move to the second stories of their houses. In the downtown districts many cellars are being filled by backwater from the streets. The suburb of Berwyn-last night was without light aidd without its regular water supply. The place is lighted by an electric plant and the water from the streets has drowned it out. The power plant of the Calumet and Blue Island electric road is shut down, and even if it were able to run, the water is over the tracks in so many places that it would be dangerous to run the cars. Flood at St. Louis. St. Lotus, Dec. 20.—The weather service last night reported the heaviest rainfall recorded since the establishment of the bureau. The total rainfall in the previous 48 hours having been 6.29 inches. All over central Missouri the streams are out of their banks. NOT A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. § Jury Brings In a Verdict Against the Owner of a Bagpipe. Milwaukee, Dec. 20. —lt has remained for a Milwaukee jury to verify the suspicions of many people and to place upon a court record the verdict chat the bagpipe is not a musical jdstrqment. In July last a procession got up by the., manager of a dime museum in this city was headed by a man in kilt and tartan, who carried a bagpipe upon which he discoursed strains calculated to fire the hearts of descendants of the Soots. A horse belonging to a man named William Matthaus took fright and ten away, and he brought suit in Justice Clark’s court for The jury returned a verdict Os $125 for the -plaintiff, and also decided that a “doodle-sack,” which is German for bagpipe, <vas not a musical instrument.

iriuffivnui Venezuelan Boundary Commission Bill Considered by the Senate, THE PRESIDENT INDORSED. ' , ; Matter Will" Probably Go to the Committee ou Foreign Relations—Senators Participate In the Debate—Mr. Voorhees* Resolution Providing For Relief For Mrs. Waller. Washington, Deo. 20.—The spirit of Americanism still brooded over the senate yesterday, but although every senator who spoke on the subject indorsed the position of the president, all expressed the opinion that war would not result. Still the gravity of the situation was not underestimated. The “war talk” of the last few days attracted to the galleries large crowds, who followed the debate with intense interest. The immediate question before the senate was the house bill appropriating SIOO,OOO to defray the expenses of the commission recommended by the president. There was some difference of opinion as to what disposition should be Aade of it, the general opinion being that it should go to the committee on foreign relations. Senator Morgan, chairman of that committee, moved that the bill be referred, as he did not think the senate should show overhaste in the matter. But he said he would oppose its reference unless it was made with the understanding that congress should not take the holiday recess until it was reported back. Senator Sherman followed in support of Mr. Morgan, and in couclnsion he said, “Let us show no haste and no anxiety, but let us pursue the path of duty as laid out before us.” Senator Lodge (Mass.) was also in favor of referring, but wanted the bill amended so as to provide for a report from the commission not later than April 1 next. Senator Voorhees was in favor of immediate action. “Great Britain has taken six months to reject our proposal to arbitrate,” said he, “now let us go forward as a justification of our position and examine the controversy. Det Great Britain have what belongs to her and not an inch more.” The debate, however, had no practical result, as Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) objected to the second reading of the bilJsP Before the Venezuelan discussion occurred, Mr. Cockrell presented with a favorable report the house resolution for a holiday recess beginning today, but Mr. Chandler (Rep., N. H.) asked that it lie on the table. Mr. Allen caused a broad smile to go around the chamber when he asked for the immediate consideration of a lengthy resolution reciting that in view of the possible contingency of war with Great Britain as a result of the conflict over the Venezuelan boundary dispute and that the first essential in time of war was money, that the committee on finance be instructed to inquire into the advisability of opening the mints to the free coinage of silver. After some good natured sparring, Mr. Gorman (Dem., Md.) objected to its consideration. Mr. Voorhees offered a resolntionion, and asked that it be referred to the committee on foreign relations, authorizing the secretary of state to pay to Susan Waller, the wife of the exconsul at Tamatave, Madagascar, sl,500 for the support of herself and hei children pending an investigation of Mr. Waller’s imprisonment by the Franch under sentence of a court martial. It was referred, OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS. f ■ South American Diplomat* Call Upon Secretary of State Olney. Washington, Dec. 20.—Among Secretary Olney’s callers yesterday were Ministers Andrade of Venezuela, Mendonca of Brazil and Romero of Mexico, representing three of the first republics of South and Central America. Though this was diplomatic reception day at the state department, their call at this particular time occasioned much comment. Yi ‘ Although none of the Central and South American diplomats will consent to be quoted regarding their call, it is known that they, as a rule, have cabled their governments that? the present seems an opportune time for invoking the Monroe doctrine as a means of support against European pressure, several of them being involved in disputes with European nations at this time. The suggestion is made with much directness in diplomatic circles that the course of the United States assures to it the moral and physical support of all the Southern and Central American republics. In the aggregate this allied strength of the .western republics, with the United States as its hfiad, would constitute a new and formidable factor in international affairs. _ Evolutions May Be Abandoned. Washington, Dec. 20. — Admiral Bunce, commanding the North Atlantic squadron, had a consultation with Acting Secretary McAdoo yesterday respecting the movements of his squadron. It is now regarded as highly imprudent to send away from the country the only substantial defense of the Atlantic seaboard. And the proposed cruse will probably be abandoned. There is also a suggestion that it would be prudent to recall the Mediterranean squadron, comprising three of qur finest cruisers, which would be left hopelessly "bottled up” in the event that matters took a bad turn. _ Bayard’s Latest Speech. London, Dec. 20.—A dispatch to the Standard from Washington asserts that Ambassador Bayard’s speech at the dinner of the actons benevolent fund on Wednesday evening has offended both President Cleveland and Secretary Olney, and is likely to be, the ostensible cause of his recall.
