number of those godless and wicked men
from New York and Boston, who live by bor
rowing pocket books and cutting np all sort8
of “fantastic tricks” by .which to obtain their
daily bread without starting the sweat from
their sanctimoaihUs brows. The various “lit
tle games” to which these sleek and oleagin
ous gentleman resort in order to relieve their
unsuspecting victims of any surplus funds
they may chance to hare on hand, have often
been described in the papen, and need not be
re-stated at this time. It will be sufficient to
remind oar readers that the light fingered fra
ternity will undoubtedly be on hand in large
numbers, and, as.Artemus said, “seeking
(La._Jt___1_1— »» T_
out then for the pickpockets and confidence

man with their wagons illuminated by flaring
torches and the addition of music kept tho
street and sidewalks thronged. The offices of

''Y&ad Acchekt at Lake Sebago.—.—About
5 o’clock on Friday afternoon last three men
engaged in blasting on the Portland Water
Company’s works near Lake Sebago, were en
deavoring to remove a stopper from a keg of
patent powder when it exploded with terriffic
effect. It seems that one of the men took a
stick to knock out the bung which had been
used in charging a blasting hole with nitro
glycerine and it is supposed that some of that
dangerous explosive agent had adhered to the
stick and the blow exploded it.
The men of coarse were blown some dis
tance and were horribly burned. Their clothes
were nearly torn from them; their hair and
beard nearly burned off, their skin crisped and
blackened and the more exposed portions of
their flesh literally roasted. One of the men
had the flesh stripped from his arm and hand,
tearing out even the fioger nails and leaving
the bones exposed. It was|most horrible. The
men were alive at last accounts but the inju
ries of two of them were undoubtedly fatal.
Close by the keg was a can containing forty
pounds of glycerine, which fortunately with
stood the shock. Had that exploded the acci
dent would have been far mere deplorable. A
score or more of men must have perished.
-Argus.
We wero informed by one or the officers of
the Company yesterday morning that the in
juries sustained by the men were not as seri
ous as at first supposed, and that in a few days
they will probebly be about again.

FIRE IN A COAL MINE.
Two Hundred Lives in Danger.
Plymouth, Sept. 6.—A fire broko out this
morning in a flue in the bottom of Steben shaft,
owned by tbe Delaware, Lackawana and West
ern Railroad Co., in this place, and in a short
time the whole breaker and outbuildings were
in flames, and the hoisting apparatus, the only
avenue of escape for the miueas, was destroyed.
A]! efforts to stay the flames were unavailing,
and the whole structure fell, partly Ailing up a
shaft. Over 200 uieu in the s^aft and have no
3omtnunication out, with no change for air, as
tbe only way of getting air into the shaft was
through the main opening and that was filled
with burning timbers and debris. It is feared
that the whole number have been suffocated by
the smoke or perished for want of air, The
fire departments of Scranton, Wilkesbarreand
Kingston are on hand and are playing streams
down the shaft, for the purpose of quenching
the fire there, so that the rubbish can be clear
ed out and the condition of the men ascertained.
It will probably take till to-morrow morning
before any tidings can be received from there.
The scene at the shaft is heart-rending. Miners
from all parts of the country are there at work.
In fact the whole population of the town have
turned out to assist.
The loss by fire will amount to about $100,
000, which is partly covered by insurance. All
the physicians in this vicinity havo been sum
moned to attend when the condition of tbe
men is ascertained. The affair has cast a
gloom over the whole community, and busi
ness is almost entirely suspended. The miners
only resumed work to-day, alter a suspension
of three mouths. Among the men in the mines
is Mr. Hughes, the Superintendent.
Scranton, Sept. 6.—The latest information
from Avondale mines state that the shaft was
cleared and two men went down and pene
trated sixty or seventy yards to the closed
gangway door, which they could not force
open. They found three dead mules outside
the door and sulphurous fumes were pouring
through the door. No signs of life were dis
covered and it is feared aU are dead.
Plymouth, Sept. 6—10 P. M.— After the
rubbish from the bottom of the shaft was
cleared away, two miuers descended in a buck
et and sent word up to send down a pick and
shovel to clear the doors with. The bucket
was brought up and two men started down
with the tools. As they started the men at
the bottom requested them to hurry and on
their reaching bottom both were found dead.
No hopes are entertained for the men in the
shaft. The black damp is vnry bad hero.
WASHINGTON.
DEATH OF SECRETARY RAWLINS.
Washington, Sept. 6.—Secretary Rawlins
died at 4.12 o’clock this afternoon. Dr. Peter
son, a few minutes to 4 o’clock, observed a
marked change in the condition of the patient,
whose pulso had become very irregular, and ho
remarked to Gen. Giles A. Smith that he was
sinking very fast and had but a few minutes to
live, and requested him to send for Surgeon
Gen. Barnes. About this time there was read
to him a telegram from Lieut. Gen. Sheridan
addressed to Gen. Sherman, dated Chicago,
Sept. 6th, as follows:—“Will you please give
my love to Rawlins. All the officers here send
their love to him.” With scarcely a breath to
speak he said, “Gen. Sheridan is very kind. I
appreciate and am very grateful for his kind
ness. If the love of my friends could do it I
would soon be a healthy man.” About 5
minutes past 4 o’clock he asked them to raise
him up. Dr. Bliss, who had returned, adjust
ed the pillows under his back, while Dr. Peter
son held him up. His eyes at once became
fixed and without a struggle he died at 12
minutes past 4 o’clock. During the day he
often expressed a strong desire to see President
Grant, asking, “When will he come?” but was
fearful he would not live long enough to do so.
President Grant arrived at Washington by
a special train from Baltimore at 12 minutes
Saet 6 and was met at the station by Gen.
herman. He at once proceeded to the resi
dence of Gen, Giles A. Smith, where he learn
ed that Secretary Rawlins had been dead an
hour. The President was much affected while
gazing upon the lifeless form of his friend, and
expressed deep regret that, owing to the non
delivery of telegrams at Saratoga, he was pre
prevented from sooner starting tor Washing
ton.
President Grant on returning to the Execu
tive Mansion transmitted the following dis
patch :
Mrs. Mary E. Rawlins, Danville, Cl.: Your
beloved husband expired at 12 minutes after 4
o’cfock this afternoon, to be mourned by a
family and friends who loved him for his per
sonal worth and services to his country, and a
nation who acknowledge their debt of grati
tude to him.
It has been decided that the funeral will take '
place on Thursday morning at 10 o’clock. The
remains are to be escorted to tho Congresional
Cemetery of this city, which has been deemed
an appropriate place for burial.
To-morrow the public departments will be
closed in accordance with orders issued by tho
Department of State.

New York Stock and Money Market.
New York, Sept. 6—Evening.—Thero was intense
excitement ini the Gold room to-day. The Stock Ex
change was almost deserted, and its members crowd
ed the room. The Express says: The daily increas
ing interest and exciteu ent in this Gold speculation
it without a precedent in the history of Wall street,
and it is becoming more and more apparent that the
people generally are interested in it to an extent
never dreamed oi even by some of the oldest opera
tors iu the room. The decline in securities at Lon
don, Paris and Frankfort, in connection with the
many and conflicting reports about the health of Na
poleon, and the Government selllrg Gold, formed a
basis for the violent fluctuations and excitement to
day.
The Money market became very active this after
noon and the rate for call loans was sharp at 7 per
cent. The demand continued after 3 P. M. and caus
i ed a general depression on the Stock Exchange.
I This activity in Money was generally attributed to
the gold room speculation, which absorbs largo
amounts of currency; prime discounts dull aud

Sell click’s Pulmonic Syrup.
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills will cure Con
sumption, Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, it laken
according to directions. They are all three to be
taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach,
relax the liver and put it to work; then the appetite
becomes good; the tood digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the dis
eased matter ripens in the lungs, and the patient
3 ay to cur e consumption.
To theseRhree medicines Dr J H Schenck ol Phil
adelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treat
ment ot Pulmonary Consumption. The Pulmonic
Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs, nai are
throws it oft by an easy expectoration, tor w.ieu the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it
oit, and tbo patient has rest uud *be lut, >t begin to ,
heal, .
To do this, tho Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
so that the Pulmonic Syrup and tho tood will rodke
good blood.
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act upon the liver. Re
moving all obstructions, relax the ducts of the gall
bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon
relieved: the stools will show what the Pills can do;
nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a
deadly poison which is very dangerous to use unless
with great care,) that will unlock the gall bladdtr
and start the secretions ol the livor like Schenck’e
Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
ausesof Consumption.
Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and
alterative, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this
preparation is made ot, assists the stomach to throw
out the gastric juice to dissolve the tood with the
Pulmonic Syrup, and It is made into good blood
without fermentation or souring in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con
sumption is, they try to do too much; they give med
icine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop night
sweats, bectio fever, and by so doing they derange
the whole digestive powers,looking up the secretions,
and eveutnally the patient sinks and dies.
Dr Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop
a rough, night sweats, chills or ievor. Kemove the
cause, ami they will stop of their own accord No
oue can be cured ol consumption, liver complaint,
dyspepsia, catarrh, canker, ulcerated throat, unless
the liver and stomach arc made healthy.
If a person has consumption, of course tho lungs
In some way arc diseased, either tubercles, absesses,
bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs
are amassofintlamniatiou and fast decaying. In such
cases what must be done? It is not only tbe lungs
that are wasting, but it is tbe whole body. Tbe
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take
Dr. Schenck’s three medicines, which will bring up a
tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want
food, it will digest easily and make good blood; then
the patient begins to gain in flesh, and as soon as t lie
blood begins to grow, the lungs conimenco to heal
up, and the patient gets healthy and well. Tbis.is
the only way to cure consupmtion.
When there is no lung disease and only liver com
S'aint and dyspepsia, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic and
andrake Pills are sufficient, without the Pulmonic
Syrup. Take the Maudrakc Pills freely in ail .bil
ious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr Schenck,wno has enjoyed uninterrupted nealth
for many years past, and now weighs 225 pouuds,
was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very last
stage ot pulmonary consumption, his physician hav
ing pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him
to instate. He was cured by tbe aforesaid medicines
and since his recovery many thonsauds similarly af
flicted have used Dr SchencVs preparations with the
same remakable success. Full directions accompany
each, makiug it not absolutely necessary to per
sonally see Dr Schenck, unless patients wish their
lungs examined, ami tor this purp se he is profess
ionally at his Principal Office, Philadelphia, every
Saturday, where all letters tor advice must bo ad
