A happj surprise it was to Mr.' A. R.
Morton, of Bristol, Conn., when Athlophorob
put him on his feet, and sent him cheerfully
about his business. Lrt him tell his own story :
"About three weeks ao I was taken
with severe crick in the back. For four days
I was unable to turn in bed without help, aiid
when lifted up could not stand on my feet. I was
induced to try Ath lophoboa, after all the usual
remedies failed. In 3U minutes after taking the
first done I could bear iuy weight upon niy feet
In two days I was able to get about and attend
to business. In two other capes which have
come to my knowledge its use nan been attended
with the same result."
A poor man in Philadelphia hal to bor
row a dollar to buy a bottle of Athlofhoros.
On account of his poverty his name shall remain
a secret. He had suffered terribly from Rheu
matism. Be gratefully writes :
"I took my first dose Tuesday afternoon,
and on Wednesday, after but seven dose. I Ltd
not a sharp or severe acne left Then I reduced
the dose one-half and took the remainder of U,e
bottle. I was aide to be steady at work til (Sat
urday, when I took a severe cold and was un
able to use my left hand. I purchased another
bottle and by bed time I found relief. The
neditine Is all you claim for It."
Investigate Athlophc-ros all yoti pita !
Find all the fault you choose with it ! and
yet the fact remains, that it is doing what
no other medicine ever could do for Rheu
matism and Neuralgia.
If you cannot pet Athlcphorps of your drep
plst, we will send It express raid, on r celpt of
regular price one dollar per t'tt!e. We prefer
that you buy It from your dru-ist. but If he

Buffalo, X. Y., Sept. 30. At 6:3
o'clock Sunday evening the little village of
Shod,'!, lying eight miles south of Well
vllle, on the bank of the Onwwe lliver,
was struck by a cyclone. The storm came
over the hill from the west, sweeping every
thing before it In two minutes the work
of destruction in the town was complete.
The eustern half of the village was demo
Islietl. Two persona were killed instant
ly, fifteen seriously Injured and live ren

trees were snapiied like plpo-steins, th
strongest buildiugs torn to pieces and scat
tered In all directions, and the roads and
fields for half a mile covered with fragment!
of buildings, household goods and merchan
dise. In one house the father was badly in
jured, the mother killed, and every slint'
of clothing was torn from the body of theii
little girl. Subscriptions were taken nr.

The house of Eugene Brundage, with itf
owner and wife and two children, was blown

No vestige of the school-house remains, noi
of Vanhorn & Porter's wagon-shop. The
storm first struck on the opposite side of Um
river, and razed twenty-five or thirty aciw
of timber to the ground. Its force and
power are visible on every hand.

THEf REVENUES.
Tnexpected Falling Off In the Receipt,
for the First Quarter of the Fiscal
Tear.
Washington, Oct 2. The revenues foi
the first quarter of the last fiscal yeai
showed a falling off as compared with the
corre.sjxiiKling quarter of the previous year,
which was expected, because the pre
vious Congress had reduced butt
the internal revenue and the custom!
duties. But the revenues for the first quar
ter of the eurrent year show a material
falling off from those of last year, which ii
not so easy to explain. For September tin
customs showing a falling off of $120,987,
and for the quarter they show a falling ofl
of $3,757,099. Internal revenue is do
creased '346,434 for the month, ami
$Sl:J,S4 J for the quarter. Miscellaneous re
ceipts show a reduction of 541,252 foi
the mouth, but a gain of tl, 10(1,346 for tht
quarter. This makes a reduction of S3,46,
095 in the revenues for the quarter.
The ordinary exjienditures show an increasi
of 1.612,218 for the month, and 5,512,142
for the quarter. The pension payment
were 1,333,000 last month, against lest
than 4,000 in September, 1883. For tti
quarter the payments show a falling off ol
51497,727, but the payments tht
first quarter are larger thai
they will average during the year. Tin
interest payments show a falling off forth!
month of 214,800, and for the quartet
990,295. The total expenditures show as
Increase of 2,745,923 for the month and ol
324.150 for the quarter. The surplus rev
enue for the quarter is 11,331,995 against
15,119,330 for the first quarter of last year.
Last year, however, the surplus for the lasl
three-quarters of the yeAr was larger propor
tionatcly than it was the first quarter, tht
total reduction of debt being nearly 1 103,000,-
000, but the returns of the first quartei
indicate that the three per cents will not be
called in quite so fast this year as they wert
hst. There are yet to be redeemed 12,
133,900 of three per cent, bonds covered bj
the calls 122 tn 180, both inclusive, whicb
amounted in the aggregate to 100,000,000,
and the 131st cull, which has not matured,

however, shows a reduction of the debt is

The Noted Tragedian Makes a Pitiable
Failure In Chicago His KiiKnireineuU
Cancelled and Ills Cuinpuuy
lllsliands.
TIIK CVRTAIN KVNO HOW'S.
CmrA(io, Sept. 30. In the play of
"SparUu-us" at MeVieker's Monday night
Mr. McCullough apjH-aml to lie in a dazed
condition, forget his lines, and acted us
though afflicted with a mental malady. The
audience jeered and laughed at intervals,
but at the cloxe recalled the tragedian, who,
however, vas in no condition to make a fit
ting explanation of the causes leading to his
tragic collapse.
Chicago, Oct 1. It was quite apparent
to the management and to many of the
patrons of MeVieker's Theater on Monday
night that the McCullough engagement
would have to be brought to a close. Mr.
McCullough's condit'i was such that to in
sist upon a continuance of the season, or
even upon another iK-rfornuince, would be
alike unjust to the public and to the
tragedian. With much reluctance, there
fore, and a good deal of sorrow as well, Mr.
Iirooks, McCullough's manager, and Mr.
rrice, his agent, waih-d rjpon Mr. McVIcker
early yesterday morning to negotiate for
canceling the engagement. They found
the veteran manager In precisely the same
frame of mind. Mr. McVicker counseled
immediate announcement that McCullough
would not again appear. "To hesitate about
it," lie said, "is only longer to tritle with
the public. Mr. McCullough is unfit to
act, and the sooner that is accepted the bet
ter it will lie for all concerned." So in a
few minutes it was determined to close
both the engagement and the season, cancel
all dates and send the company to New
York. The box office was closed, 'the
printing called in, the bill boards at the
theater turned face to the wall and notice
sent to the newspapers.
A large proportion of those who held tick
ets learned from the papers yesterday that
the performances were suspended, ami that
their money would be returned ujion pre
sentation of their tickeU. All through the
afternoon and evening the gentleman in
charge of the office was kept busy redeem
ing tickets. Still, some who had
tickets and many who had not,
learned that there would lie no perform
ance only when they arrived at the theater
in the evening. Each one inquired at the
ticket window what tlie matter
was, and, ujKin being tokl there would
be no iH-rtoriiiaiiee., asked why. All
the information which was vouchsafed those
inquiring was that owing hi the sickness of
Mr. McCullough all of the engagements had
been canceled. After that it was necessary
to toll the inquirer that there would be no
performance the next night nor, indeed,
any night this week. For some time the
entrance to the theater was occupied by
those lingering to hear the particulars of
Mr. McCullough's misfortune, and to ex
press their opinion as to the causes and the
chances of recovery. Many believe that it
will be the great tragedian's last apjH-ar-ance
on the stage, and that those who saw
him Monday night in the "Gladiator" had
tlie last look at John McCullough as an
actor.
Mr. Joseph Brooks, John McCullough's
manager, slid his chief was very much sur
prised and not a little chagrined when told
that all his engagements was canceled, lie
strongly demurred af first declaring Unit he
could still do himself justice and work would
improve liini, as it did before. He was (inid
ly jiersuaded. however, that rest was essen
tial and yielded to the opinions of his friends
and agreed to accept their fiat for a time at
least Mr. I!ioks says tlie plans for Mr.
McCullough are not yet matured and tlie
next forty-eight hours may bring almut a
change In the arrangements heretofore con
sidered. The company will remain here a
few days, but will be taken care of, what
ever may be finally decided upon as the best
course to pursue.
New Yokk, Oct. 1. Mr. Dickson, part
ner of McCullough's manager, said lie was
not at all surprised, as he felt certain the
actor could not go through the season when
he left New York. Mr. Dickson says lie
will till McCullough's dates with Mme.
liiStori.

She Married a Real Man This Time.
Milwaukee, Wis., Sept 30. A great
sensation wan created a year ago by the an
nouncement that two women living in Wau
pun, Win., had been quietly married, and
were living together as man and wife. An
investigation showed that Mrs. J. L. Hudsoji
had deserted her family, and, doiniiim
male attire, found work as a farm
hand near Waupun. Mrs. Hudson called
herself "Frank I hiKois.-' After awhile she
married Gertie Fuller. Village gossips be
gan to hint that Dubois was a woman. The
couple denied it but finally Hudson ap
peared andnade his wife go home with him.

Mr. St. John, the Inhibition candidate for

Chairman of the committee, to the effect
that his letter of acceptance would be ready
In a short time and that it would embrace
his views. The letter was given out yester

us follows:
lu fonnally accc-ptlntr thu nomination for
President tcnuurod to me by tim National
Prohibition Convention at l'lttHlmruli, Pa.,
July SI, Inm, 1 take the opportunity to statu
that, while tbe honor was neither sought nor
desired hy me, yet it is irreatly appreciated,
ticMlotveil as it was ly a convention coinpo.-ed
ot uclcirate who, in point of worth and men
tal ability, were fully e-iunl, it not superior, to
any (m l uu-ul convention that ever assembled
in Nils country. The war for the t'nion is
over; the n-l elilon has been cruslie l; African
Slavery abolished; old Issues have passed away,
and wit Ii them should iro old prejudices and
sectional strife. To-day tho products of the
North ami the South (lout in friendly rela
tions iti the same channels, under tlie same
flatf, every section of our country acknowl
edging allegiance to tlie same Government.
There never was a time when our people
ooulrt hotter afford to, and when It was moro
Important that they should stop and think,
than now. With manufactories shutting down,
banks breakimr, merchants lulling in busi
ness, securities unsettled, Western wheal
sellinir at the home market for forty cents
fer bushel, and hundreds of thousands of
ndustrious mechanics and laboring men.
who are wlllirur to work, but can iret
nothing to do, it seems to me that the
time ha come for the people, who are the
source of all political power, to call a halt and
ii top and think, for there must le a reason for
this condition of things. The little time and
splice the old parties can spare after dealing
out the full measure of personal abuse and
TillittcaUoii that each seems to think the
other merits, Is mainly devoted t
a discussion of the tariff question, ig
noring all matters that relate to the
moral elevation of the people 1 am of the
opinion that the manufacturer who, by rea
son of the depressed condition of business,
has been compiled to make an assignment
for the bent tit of bis creditors will not find
relief In the agitation of that question now,
nor will the average farmer become very en
thusiastic over its discussion, with bis wheat
not worth as much In tho bib as it cost bim to
produce it The amount received by the
Government for duties on imports Is less
than $3X),uou.0nu annually.
There are aoout 17'.iKJ0 retail dealers in In
toxioating liiiuors in tho t'nited r-tates, each
of whom pays to our Government twenty-five
dollars, in consideration of which sum they
are permitted to carry on their business tor
the term of twelve months. When we add to
this the amount paid by the distillers, brew
ers and wholesalo dealers, we find that tlie In
terest of the Government In the manufacture,
and sale of intoxicating liquors is about f K),
Onu.mil annually.
Th.s t rathe, sanctioned as it is by the laws ot
our couutry, costs the people, at a low est l
nia'e. a thousand million dollars a year, not
to speak id' the destroyed homes, ill bairt licd
manhood, poverty, heart-ache, crime and cor
ruption it produces. This disgraceful busi
ness shou d tie suppressed, and the enormous
sum of money that und'-r the present system
is worse than thrown away savisl to the peo
p o, and thus a prut4K-tioti would lie given to
the industries ol this country that uoul.l eua
b!c us suci eislully to throw our doors open
wide to the cmiKtltiin of the world.
The hepublican and Itemoc ratio parties fa
vor a conlinuance of the imtnirm-inrc and
sale ol Intoxicating liquors a-- u hcvcrioic,
while the Prohibition party demands that the
same shall bo lorever suppressed. Thus an
issue is presented to the people in which is
involved the protection ol e cry home in the
laud. It is not a mere local .smic, either,
but it is a National as well
as a practical question, upon which
a largo and respectable body of citizens
Rt-alnst whose convictions party discipline
is powerless have decided to vole, and tncy
will not lie found halting between two opin
ions touching this tnaltT. tint will work mid
pray and vote amdiist this great evil until It
is driven liom our land, never to return.
The Go ei nniuiit is simply the rcllcx of the
iiWividiials composing it. If we want un hon
or t, sober Government, we must have an hon
est, sober people. Hut we can never have an
hom-st, sober people so long as the Govern
ment sanctions thai which makes its citizens
dlionest, drunken and corrupt.
The declaration ol principles, which I heart
ily indorse, us set forth in the plaitonn of the
Prohibition parly, is nrtlt le i to the thought
ful conslderut ion nod earnest support of all
good citizens, without regard to locality or
former political alllllatlon. Our country
needs an Administration that will rise above
mere partisan considerations, and in tbe
selection of puhllc ollicials make hon
esty, sobriety and olttcioncy, and not service
to party, ttio test. It should be conducted,
not in the Interest of any artieular
section, party, race or color, but In the Inter
est of the whole people. To accomplish this
all good people should promptly step to tho
front and t-o counted for the right This Is no
time for dodging. Moral cowardice will never
w in ami surely never deserves a victory.
Then let us look to God for His guidance,
and fearlessly and falMifully do our whole
duty, never doubling that He will take care
of the results.

OLD-TESTAMENT REVISION.
Th Task Completed, Hut the New 'Work
Not to be Published I ntll Spring.
Nkw Yokk, Oct 1. Rev. Dr. Philip
Schaff, speaking of the completion of tlie
revision of the Old Testament, says:
" It is not probable that the new work
will be published before spring. The En
glish company has finished its labors
and our company will only need to
meet once or twice more to complete
the appendix, but it will tike several
months for the prcssiss to furnish a supply
at all ample to meet tlie demand. As in the
case of the New Testament the. only au
thorized editions w ill lie published by the
University presses of Cambridge and Ox
ford, but, in the absence of an international
copyright, I presume this country will have
many editions of tlie Old Testament soon
after tlie first copy is put on sale."
" What can tie said of the character of
the revision of the Old Testament?"
" Nothing specific. Tlie work has all
been done at secret sessions, ami the corre
spondence has been conducted under the
seal of secrecy. The Universities of Cam
bridge and Oxford have been at great ex
pense in defraying the cost of the revision,
and it is not right to anticipate their publi
cations." "Have as many changes been made iu
the ld Testament as were made in the
New?"
" Hy no means, fur no new Hebrew manu
scripts have been discovered since the au
thorized, or King James, version was pub
lished, while many new and iiiipornnt
Greek manuscripts were used in the New
Testament revisions."
"Will there Is-as much (ipisisitioii to the
reception of the Old as there was to the New
Testament?"
"Not nearly so much, for many of the
changos ins- those already used by leading
scholars in the pulpit and in comnicutaric
Especially is that the case with Uinge'g
commentary."
KILLED BY HIS MISTAKE.
Three Men Killed anil Neveral WouiHlod
Through a Freight Conductor's Krror.
WiiKKl.l.Nt), W. Va., Sept. 30. A collis
ion occurred on the Baltimore A Ohio Uoad
at Farmingtoii yesterday, iustuitly killing
three men, badly wounding two more, and
seriously injuring thn-e others. The "cannon-ball"
train, with five passenger coaches
and an official car from New York to Chi
cago, wtis coining west at forty miles
an hour, and one mile west of Fahningtou,
mi tumim: a sharp curve, pluugil into an
eastrbound freight The passenger engine
fairly tore its way through the freight en
gine and seven loaded cars, pulling the two
trains together In a shapeless mass. The
list of the dead anil wounded is us follows:
Killed Thomas Turley, conductor, crushed
b a Jelly: George l-onard, engineer, both
arms ami back broken, died in a lew minutes:
