Horrible Bnilroad W reck in Pennsylvania. Three freight trams were wrecked on the Pennsylvania railroad the other day, about a mile east of Latrobe, Pa. Two freight trains were telescoped, and caught the east-bound train just as the latter was ' passing. Lhirty-six cars and two en- | gmes were wrecked. One of the engines I with several cars rolled over the embank- I ment and fell into the river. To add to , the horror of the wreck the cars caught 1 tire. At least twenty-five persons lost their lives and probably more. Twenty I others were more or less seriously in- I jured and some of them, it is believed, ' can not recover. THE FLATHEADS ARE HOSTILE. 1 They Have Sent Their Squaws to the Hills - Fears of Bloodshed. The latest advises regarding the trouble with the Flathead Indians in Montana say that the Indians l ave threatened to wreck the trains and destroy the track of the Northern Pacific railroad, which they regard as their toe because the train se- | cured the escape of the sherifi’s party. (Superintendent Dick nson has telegraphed the governor and war department for troops, to assist in protecting the property of the railroad company. The Indians are reported to have sent their women and children to the hills, which means that the trouble is not ended yet. The refusal of the chiefs to deliver up the Indian murderers is looked upon as a declaration of hostility. FORAKER RENOMINATED. — Ohio’s Governor Again Chosen as the Republican Leader.

He w.is sent to State’s Prison for five years and seven months. Foil several days past there have been evidences of some ocean disaster in the washing ashore of wreckage along the shores at Vineyard Haven, Mass. A bundle of woman's clothing, evidently done up in great haste, his been picksd up on the lea i at Edgaitown. Considerable wreckage, painted green ami slate color, is coming ashore on the island. Among that found at Smith’s Point were gilt moldings in considerable quantities, one largo glass door with three giouud-gbiss circular top lights, one window-sash, evidently belonging to some Hioumer, and also steamer \ ictorin bills of lading. Wino-cards of the steamship Ilnytian Republic were washed ashore at Nantucket. A mast al out two feet in diameter, square-rigged, with wire ringing, was also found with the wreckage at that point. Everything points to a collision between tho Victoria and the Haytian Republic. Fire in the First Ward of Johnstown,

Pa., consumed all but three of the buildings in the district bounded by Market and Walnut streets and by Main street and tho river. Twenty-five houses were totally destroyed, including the large brick school-house. Many of the buildings destroyed had been washed from their foundations, though many of them contained household goods which had been saved from the flood. But a small amount of these goods were saved. The fire is supposed to have originated from । sparks flying from the burning debris in । the neighborhood. I In a riot between colored men and Hungarians at Haverstraw, N. Y., four of tho latter were shot, one being killed instantly, and another mortally wounded. John McDonald, of Waterbury, Conn., has just recovered his eyesight of which he has been deprived more than thirty years. At a meeting of the Association of Editors of American Medical Journals, held at Newport, R. 1., J. M. Love, of St. Louis, was elected president; G.

The New York Supreme Court has decided in the case of murderer Kemmler, sentenced to die by electricity, that evidence shall be taken as to the effect of the electric cut rent on the human body. , Counsel for the condemned man set up the plea that death by electricity was 1 cruel. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Conrad Bauman of C rbon, Ind., killed his wife and then shot himself dead. Tho cause was jealousy. While C. F. Painter, cashier of tho San Miguel Yallby Bank, at Telluride, I Col., was out, three men entered the bank ' and demanded tho funds of tho 1 ookt keeper at the point of a re.volver. -After I securing the bank funds they joined a fourth robber, who was holding their horses just outside the bank. They loft town on the run, firing shots in the air to frighten citizens. It is not known what amount they secured.

The carelessness of a servant in 1 ghting a kerosene stove caused the death, at i Kansas City, Mo., of a 5-year-ohl boy j and the fatal burn’ng of his mother. ! The victims are a Mrs. Martin and little - Lester Martin. Tho servant escaped with slight injuries. Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael, at Chicago, has been disbanded. This camp is the one to which Dr. Cronin beloaged, and which, it is thought, contained many J - if not all —of his brutal niur leiers. The story is that it was Edward Spellman, acting in his capacity of District Officer of Illinois and Mich'gm, who disbanded it. When this information came upon the State’s Attorney and the investigating committee it was a complete surprise. They were interested in preserving the camp intact for the present, their purpose being to obtain possession of all its records. The disbanding of tho camp means the destruction of the records and the further thu lifting of the authorities in their endeavor to investigate the secret doings of tho notorious club. The State’s Attorney has now a strong suspicion that Spellman disbanded the camp for the solo purpose of having its records dostioyed. Captain Murrell, of tho steamship Missouri, has had conferred on him, by order of the King of Denmark, the knight- j hood of the Order of Dannebrog. The Executive Committee of the Clan- j na-Gael have issued a manifesto to the 1 public in which they say that the organ- ' ization should not be held responsible for Dr. Cronin's death. In th j course of the manifesto they say: While we hold that a certain a nount of privacy is justifiable and even necessary in conducting the proceedings of mi organizat ion like the Clan-na-Ga 4 we distinctly andemphaticiiLy disclaim any right or intention to pledge, bind, order, or authorize any one t> eonnnit any act forbidden by tho liws of the United States or to conceal knowledge which ho may possess of any i crime when summoned to testify b uor i court or jury, or questioned in the conies sional. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. Tom Mitchell and Harry Ardell have been arrested near Shejardsville, Ky., j for shooting and attempting to rob I Joseph Lavine, a Louisville peddler. A pouch containing all the mail from Nashville to points south as far as New - Orleans disappeared on May 7. It is not known how much money was in tho pouch.

general foreign policy were unchanged, and that sho was in full agreement with her allies. The Government, he said, was doing its utmost to insure the peaceful development of tho European situation, which was still unsafe. He hoped the blessings of peace would be maintained, notwithstanding the fact that armaments wore everywhere being increased. It was tho increase of armament that compelled Austria to not halt in the work of completing her means of defense. Capt. Shaw, of the steamer Delta, which has arrive I at Now York from Port de Paix, states that Gen. Hippolyte had arrived at Cape Hayti with his staff and was about to return to rejoin his army just before Tort au Prince. Private letters received at Hayti from Pori au Prince stated that the city was in a very excited condition. I egitime refused to leave the city or capitulate and great fears arc apprehended of an insurrection in the city. The preliminary surveys of a railroad to run from Jaffa, on tho sea-coast in Palestine, to Jerusalem, and thence to Bethlehem, have just been completed, and a party of engineers starts from London at once for the holy 1 mil to lay out the route. A company has already been so: med to build the road, in which a number of English and French bankers are interested. From all accounts it is a purely business enterprise without a trace of sentiment or religious fervor. The travel in the holy land of late years has been increasing steadily, and it is believed that if first-class railway accommodations were furnished tho number of tourists who annually visit Jerusalem from alj parts of the earth would soon be trebled FRESH AND NEWSY. A Boston syndicate is about to purchase the Magdalene Islands in tho Gulf of St. 'Lawi once for $500,009. It proposes to start largo fishing works there, and make it a second Gloucester. The weather crop bulletin, issued by the Signal Corps of the Government Agricultural Department, says: The weather is generally favorable for growing crops in the South, except in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Texas, where excessive rains have caused some damage to wheat and cotton. In the spring-wheat region of Minnesota and Dakota all crops have been improved by recent rains. In the principal corn States, inclining Illinois, Indiana, lowa Kansas and Nebraska, tho weather has been favorable and corn has made rapid growth. In Michigan and Ohio the growth of corn has been retarded, owing to continued wet weather. The harvesting of wheat, barley and clover is in progress as far north as the central por- j tion of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, but the work has been retarded by frequent rains. R. G. Dun A Co.'s weekly review of trade says: “Th ye is n boil er feeing, with larger 11 a i suctions in iron and wool, and crop prospeeti uro more fa .’oruble.

MRS.R.B. HAYES IS DEAD A STROKE OF PARALYSIS THE CAUSE OF DE ITH. The Lust Hours of the Wife of the exPreddeut A Nobe Woman’s Work Ciaues to a Sudden Emi Mrs. Hayes’ Life ReviewoiL A Fremont (Ohio) dispatch of the 25th says: Mrs. Hayes died at 6:30 o'clock this morning of paralysis, with which sho was stricken down .ue previous Friday. Mrs. Hayes maiden name was Lucy Wine Webb. Sho was born Aug. 28, 1831, at Chillicothe, Ohio, and was the youngest child and only daughter of Ir. Janies Webb find Maria Cook. Iler grandfather, Judge Isaac Cook, came from Connecticut in 1781, and he, togi ther with all of her great-grandfathers, served in the revoluw p MRS. R. B. HAVES. tionary war. Her father served in the 1 war of IS 12, and during tho cholera scourge in liexington, Ky., in 1833. Iler mother, Maria Cook Webb, was a woman of great force of character and deep religious convictions. She itmoved to Delaware to have her son educated at the Ohio Wesleyan university, and her । daughter received the benefit of the same i instru>-lion and was afterward graduated at the Wesleyan Female seminary at Cin | cinnati in 1552. Mrs. Hayes was married Dec. 111, 1852. At the breaking out of the rebellion her husband and both of her brothers immediately entered the arinv, and from that time until the close of the war her homo was a refuge for wounded, j sick, and furloughed soldiers, going to or j returning from the front. She spent two ■ winters in camp with her husband in Virginia, and after the battle of South Motin- • tain, where he was badly wounded, she ; hastened east and jo'ned him at Mitldlo- । | town, Md , and later spent much time in ’ the hospital near Frederick City. After the close of the war she acconi- ' panied her husband to Washington while ; he was a member of Congress, She was one of the originators of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors’ Orphans’ home, and was on ! its board of directors before it passed into the hands of the State. While her hus- j band was Governor of Ohio she took an ' active interest in all tho charitable in- i ' stitutions of the State. During the four i years of her life at the White j House she was distinguished Iby the graceful cordiality with which she received all who came t- her. j ; Since the retirement of her husband from j pulilie life she has I eon an ardently inter- I । ested member of tho Woman’s Relief corps, and has served during sue. e>sive years as president of the Woman's Homo Missionary society of the Method's! Kpis- ' copal church. Sim has been an honorary | member of the Society of the Army of ' West Virginia, the medal of which had been presented to her by the soldiers. Coi.t xiBFS, < hi >, .lime 20.—The Repub- ' can State convention assembled here' adopted tho following resolution on the i death of Mrs. R. B Hayes: "Fo it resolved by this assembly of Ohio citizens in convention assembled. That while we mourn the loss of this admirable ' woman—-a typical American wife and 1 mother —and while we condole with her । family and lev husband, ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes, in this their gi eatest 1 earthly affliction, we yet leeall her many virtues an I lovable qualities, anil commend her life and daily example to the American people as one to ie imitated and emulated by them in attaining the highest type of womanly Christian character. 1 ’ POISONED AT A PICNIC. — Fitly Prostrated, Fourteen Beyond RoT niONTO, Ont, June 26.—Through the parsimony of a Woodstock druggist, who is now hiding m the woods in fear of his life, titty people were poisoned at a picnic near there and it is thought that fourteen of them may die. Woodstock is a small village in the township of Zorra, On Saturday the farmers of that county gave n monster picnic in Wi litt’s grove, about two miles from Hie town. All was jollity until the picnickers were about to start for jliome, when suddenly a Miss Shaw, who was dancing on one of the platforms, fell in a fit. Friends had hardly started to apply restoratives when two other young ladies were similiarly seized. The sudden interruption of the festivities caused very general alarm, I which was intensifie I to horror when | almost immediately others of the gather- { ing to the number of fifty were stricken. | Several doctors were with the pleknickers, and these, with others who was hastily summoned from the town, attended the sufferers. Noting the symptoms, tho doctors at once pronounced it a case of poisoning. An investigation proved that only those who had partaken freely of the lemonade had ' been atta' ked, and the poisoning was read I ily traced to this source It was discovered that the confectioner who had , furnished the drink, in order to lave ' lemons, h d used in its concoction what he believed to be tartaric acid. Some of the powder which he had purchased from the I new druggist remained; and on examination it was- found to be sugar of lead, [ which had been told in mistake fi r the harmless ingredienl. The rage of tho people almo t amt unted to madness, which thej determined to vent upon Druggist Alexander, who was a stranger. A ' crowd qnick'y gather d and marched to his store. The shop was locked. A plank was torn from the sidewalk and used as a battering rain. Tho door was qui kly । broken down and the maddened men en । tered. There was no one in tho store, but this did not decrease th or rage, and in a few minutes tho stock in trade of the druggist was scattered all over the street. | Alexander, having seen tho angry crowd approaching, had made good his escape from a ba"k entrance and tied to the woods. Although the majority oft! oso poisoned are slowly recovering from tho effects of the deadly niinira', fourteen of tho number are reported to be dying, all being in. a state of collapse, from which efforts of the physicians ha■ e so far failed to revive them. Finding that Alexan lev had made his escape one of the citizens lodged a complaint against him, an 1 a warrant was sworn out for his arrest. As he is thou ht to bo in hiding in the woods back of Woodstock a number of specials were sworn in and sent out to search for and arrest him. A crowd was started after tho specials with the openly avowed intention of capturing the druggist and lynching him. I

Brain Verdict for the Boys. In the final result of tho comparison of the two sexes of tho human race anatomical researches will form an important factor. Many anatomists have recognized this fact, and have instituteci comparisons between the sexes from various points of view. M. Gustave le Bon reviews the work of M. Nanouvrier and that of M. Budin, both of whom aver that “sex has no influence on brain weight. With them the influence of sex is nothing more than the influence of height; and if females, as a whole, exceed the males in brain weight, it is simply because the weight of tho body in the females is much below that of the males.” M. le Bon puts the theory of his adversaries to the test in a very ingenious manner by comparing the brains of males and females having about the same weight. By this investigation it is shown that in the great majority of cases the male children surpass tho females of the same weight in their cranial circumference. At the same age, height, and weight of body, the female brain is notably smaller than that of the male. —Herald of Health. A Multitude ©f Ailinent-i. Tho ailments which afflict tho kidneys and bladder are so numerous that merely to name them would fill a space far outrunning tho limits of this article. Suffice it to say, that they are both obstinate and dangerous. To their prevention Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is well adapted. The stimulus which it lends to tho action of tho kidneys when they are lethargic, servo to counteract a tendency in them to lapse, first, into a state of pernicious inactivity, and afterwards into one of positive organic disease, which soon destroys their delicate integuments, I poisons the blood, anil causes death. A double purpose is served by this depurent. It promotes activity of the kidneys, and expels impurities from the blood which have no natural channel of outlet, except these organs.

On tho 10th day of December, 1886,1 camo from Orion to I’outiac to visit my parents, and was taken suddenly ill. Dr. Galbreith, of this place, was called, and alter making ciirolul examination of my case, desired a council, and named as councilor, Dr. Mc- ' Graw, of Detroit. They met in council i Dee. 15th, made a careful examination, and I pronounced my disease as Cancer of tho j Liver, and stated tliat there was no hope ; for me, and it was impossible to cure mo. ' The pain was very severe and Dr. Galbreith continued his visits, administering quieting powders. A swelling or bunch had formed upon my right ribs almost as largo as my li.-t, and I had given up all hopes of recovery. But having hoard of Hibbard’s Rhetimadc Byi up, I sent. Fob. 1, 1887, and bought a bottle of the Syrup from Mr. Peter Schmitz, a druggist of this place, and took it as directed. About March Ist something broke and the swelling commenced to go down, until it lias almost disapp uucd. Up to this date I have taken two and one-half bottles of tho Syrun, and have so far recovered as to bo aldo to visit my neighbors, and am truly rejoicing that I am fast being relieved of such terrible pain, and desiring to acknowledge tho benefit 1 have received in using your Syrup, I send you this statement, hoping you will use it so that others who are afflicted may bo benefited and relieved from pain us I have been.

How to Wash Silk Stockings. Do your silk stockings ever got spoiled in the wash? Have them done at home, and make the maid follow carefully these directions: In washing colored silks, especially silk stockings, no soap must be rubbed on the, articles. Before commencing have ready two hot irons and two pans of water. In one ]>an pour hot water and in tho other cold, adding a wine glass of common vinegar to each. Make the hot water into a. creamy lather of suitable consistency from “soup jelly.” Wash each stocking separately in the hoi water and rub carefully, commencing at the toe. Squeeze it out, jdace it in the rinse water, and leave it until the next one is finished. Now squeeze them out of the rinse water, but on no account ring them. Boil separately in a dry cloth. Now take the stockings, iron them on the wrong side, ami finish them on tho Tight, taking care to leave no creases. If these instructions are properly curried out you may wash with safety the most briiliant colors. For the, “soap jelly” take a half a pound of yellow snap and shave it finely in a saucepan with one, quart of water. Stand it by the lire, until it simmers, and let it remain until cohl, when it will have, the appearance of a stiff jelly.— Home Maher. Now. The benefit to bo derived from a good medicine in early spring is undoubto l, l ut many people neglect taking any until tho approach of warmer weather, when th y wilt like a tender flower in a hot sun. Something must be done to overcome that tiro I feeling and give tho strength necessary to do daily work. Vacation is ea nosily longe I for, but many weeks, perhaps months, must elapse before rest can be indulged in. To impart strength and to give a feeling 01, l.oulth and vigor throughout the system, there is nothing equal to Mood’s Sarsaparilla. It seems peculiarly adapted to ovoroome that prostration caused by change of season, climate, or life, and while it tones and sustains the system it puriflos and renovates the blood. Inventor Edison’s twicer Pillow. Not long ago I called at Edison’s home, expecting lo see him. He wasn't there, and Mrs. Edison told me she hadn’t seen him for three days. I soon found that he was at his old tricks—working night ami day in his lal ora toiy, having his meals sent to him and sleeping on the door with hi 4 clothes on and a stick ot wood under his head for a pillow. When xvorking he never leaves his laboratory, and he seems to think that by keej ing his clothes on he can better preserve the nervous tension after he has started to work. Then lie perseveres until he has aceoii - plisln d his pur| o-e. His time lie re gards as very valuable, ard this is the reason he doesn't want to come here until it is necessary. His deafness lias not improved any, remaining about the same. Interview' in the J'itlsl lira Di spa hh. National Educational Association.
