Da. Runway : That others may be benefitted, I
make this statement:
i have had an Ovarian Tamer in the ovaries and
towels (or tea years. I tried the beat physicians in
this place and others without any benefit. It was
erow in it at such rapidity that I could not have lived
much longer. A friend of mine induced me to try
Had way s Kemeales. 1 had not much laltn in them,
but finally, after much deliberation, I tried them.
I purchased six bottles of the Resolvent, two hos
es of the Pills, and two bottles of the Relief. I used
those without any apparent benefit. I determined
to nersevere. I used tw lve more bottles of the Re
solvent, two of the Relief, and two boxes of Pills.
Before they were eone I bad lost 95 pounds.
I continued to use the medicine until I was sure
- that I was entirely cured. I took the medicine about
4 Ave months, and during that time lost 45 pound.
In all I took three dozen bottles of the Resolvent,
six bottles Relief, snn six boxes of the Pills.
I feel perfectly well, and my heart is full of erat
Itude to God for this help in my great affliction. To

Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will
occasion the death of the patient ; they lock up the
liver,stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage
follows, and in fact,they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of a dull pain in the Bide, con
stipation, coated tongao, pain in the shoulderblade
feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food,
lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and belching np of wind.
These symptoms usually orginated from a disor
dered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver.
Persons so affected. If they take one or two heavy
colds, and if the congh in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged,
remaining torpid, and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are a mass of sores, and
ulcerated, the ra-ult of which Is death. -Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which
does not contain opium or anything calculated to
check a cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids
digestion and creates a ravenous appetite.

Tallahassee, Fla., Dec. 7. A quo
warranto was issued and served on the
Hayes electors, yesterday.before they cast
their votes, also a bill of injunction was
obtained, in behalf of Gov. Drew, against
members of the canvassing board and an
ordei granted restraining them from com

board for electors.
Attorney General W. A. Coke, member
of the canyassiug board, protested against
the action ot the board in certifying to a
majority of the votes in favor ot the Hayes
electors. He denounced the same as a
criminal and gross falsifications of the re
turns on file in the office of the secretary
of state. He also gave a certificate of
election to the Tilden electors, stating
therein that the returns on file, canvassed
by the board, showed a clear majority for
the Tilden and Hendricks electors. The
Democratic electors, Wilk. Call, Robert
Bullock, Robt. B. Hilton and James E.
Younge, met at the capitol in the office of
the attorney general and cast the vote of
the state according to law; also signed a
petition to the senate and house of repre
sentatives of the United States stating
their election and praying that they might
be recognized as electors of state.

New York, Dec. 7. The dimensions
of the awful calamity which has befallen
the citv of Brooklyn in the destruction of
its principal theatre by fire, and conse
auent loss of life have not yet been real
ized. Enough is known however, to make
it certain that the catastrophy was among
the most fatal of the kind ever recorded.
Up to noon to-day 315 bodies had been re
moved. Of these, 59 are identified, some
by remnants of clothing remaining, others
by watches, chains and such articles, but
tew by features. Actors Claude Bur-
rough and Harry S. Murdock are among
the identified.
What are accepted as the bodies of the
two actors are simply two black cinders.
Around the truok of one was a sooted and
scorched buckskin undershirt, and beside
the other was a piece of braid apparently
a portion of a stage dress.
It is feared that a search in the auditor
mm will result in hading many more
bodies.
It is estimated that 1050 people were iu
the building at the time the tire broke out.

Ke Hopes Congress Will Xoj Justice Accord

Indianapolis, Nov. 7. The Journal
publishes m interview with Gov. Hend
ricks on the situation. He thinks the action
of the returning board in Florida, South
Carolina, and Louisioa not in accordance
with the laws of those states or of the
federal constitution, but hopes congress
will do justice and assert the true cpirit of
the constitution. He does not believe the
vice president can declaro who is elected,
. .i . i t
or that tne two nouses oi congress are
simply witnesses as to the counting,
turnishiDg tellers to certily to a correct
reading ot the ballots. He relies upon the
twenty-second joint rule, which, he con-
tends,has been in operation since l858,and
declares it to be the legislative inter
pretation of the constitution especially in
tended for such a crisis as the present;
admits the possibility of the house de
daring Tilden president and (he senate
declaring Hayes president and that such a
crisis would be of a most serious character
and entail upon all the parties the gravest
responsibility. He declined any state-

prints the following:
PORTLAND. Deo. 6. Governor Grover
to-day issued certificates to Itwo Hayes
electors and one Tilden elector. Cronin.
The Hayes electors refused to meet with
Cronin, whereupon the latter.who held all
the certificates, appointed two Republicans
to act in their places. The two whom he
appointed, met with him, received their
certificates, and theD all voted for presi
dent, two for Hayes,and Cronin for Tilden.
The Bulletin has the following special
from Portland: A dispatch from Saleui
says the secretary of state has given Cro
nin, democratic ,elector. having the high
est number of votes, the certificates. The
two Republican electors refused to rt
with him, and assembled and supplied the
vacancy. The Repubicans voted for
Hayes. Cronin appointed two Democrats
to act with him, and cast the vote of the
state for Tildes.
A Post special from Salem savs. at noon
to-day, the secretary of state delivered to
Cronin, Democratic candidate for elector
contesting peat of Watts, postmaster, the
certificate of appointment of an elector.
which is evidence that Governor Grover
has ousted Watts. The six electoral candi
dates then assembled in the committee
room of the senate chamber. After half
an hour, one of the -Republican elector?,
W. II. Udell, came out and went to the
office of the secretary of state to demand a
certified copy of the certificate, for it
seems the certificate included the name of
K. A Cronin, Democrat, and W. IiO'Dell
and J. C. Cartwright, Republicans, andf as
the latter demanded to see and' hold the
certificate, and Cronin refused to let them
have it, nothing could be done. About
this time Cronin lett the room where the
electors were assembled, and took a stroll
down town.
Later. The story; further goes thatl
when the electors were met, Odell and
Cartwright refused to act with Cronin,
whereupon Cronin declared a vacancy and
elected J. N. F. Miller and H. Parker to
fill the places of the electors, and the vote
being taken, Cronin voted for Tilden and
Hendricks, and the two others tor Hayes
and Wheeler. Cartwright and Odell first
accepted the resignation of elector Watts,
and then elected him to fill the vacancy.
and cast the vote of the state for Hayes
ana w heeler. 1 here is great excitement.
The Republicans are indignant at the gov
ernors action. I Were they indignant
when the carpet-bag returning boards
falsely certified to the election of Hayes
electors in South Carolina, Florida and

not until last evening that an investigation

and after hearing the evidence a verdict
was rendered of death from exposure.
The supposition seemed to be that Goss

had fallen or slipped down from the top
