I- J- A Woman's Strange Burden. THE CASE OK MRS. JOHNSON THAT WAS A GREAT PUZZLE TO MEDICAL MEN. Sprinokiei.I), O., July 19. Mrs. Dittsen Johnson died near Creston, Monday morning, of consumption. She was in her forty ninth year. Thir teen years ago Mrs. Johnson was de clared by physicians to be enciente, but no child was born. Eight years ago she gave birth to a child, a boy, now living and in good health. Dur ing all those years, until she was seized by consumption, she enjoyeil good health. ' After Mrs. Johnston's death an au topsy was held, and in the abdominal cavity the physicians found the skeleton of a child, which she had car ried for thirteen years. Mrs. Johnson had always insisted that she was carry ing the strange burden, but the doctors had not the sagacity to discover the truth. . . Big Mine Cave-in- RESIDENTS NEAR EDWARDSVIM.E AWAK ENED BY THEIR HOUSES TOPPLING, j OVER.' Wilkes-Barre, July iS. About u o'clock Thursday night the residents of Hunlock's Patch, near Kdwardsville were aroused from their slumbers by the cracking of the foundation walls and the timbers in their houses. The first impression was that a big earth quake had taken place, but uon in vestigation it was discovered that the earth over No. 2 mine of the Kingston Coal company had sunk about six feet. The concussion was so great that a number of houses toppled over on their sides. The dwellings occupied by the following persons are a total wreck : William Thomas, Thomas Lever, John G. Williams and Thomas E. lioberts. ' ' ; In some places the crevises in the earth's surface were large enough to admit the body of a horse. ' All the inhabitants of the village gathered in the main street with nothing on but their night clothes. A Welsh boy preacher offered prayer for the safety of the people. The cave-in covers an area of two acres. The damage to the inside workings of the mine is con siderable. Three hundred men will be out of work for several weeks.

Baku Important to Collectors of Taxes- The following act of Assembly which passed the legislature at last session is one of importance to all col lectors of taxes. The idea has hereto fore prevailed among collectors that they had two years in which to settle their duplicates, and some of them have believed that they were not re quired to pay over a cent until the ex piration of the two years. It is very likely that the following amendments to the act of 1885 were passed for the purpose of correcting that impression. At all events collectors will now under stand how long they can hold public money in their hands. AN ACT. To amend section nine of an act approved the twenty-fifth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and eighty five entitled "An act regulating the collection of taxes in the several bor oughs and townships of this Common wealth, by providing the lime in which tax colhctom shall pay over tar.cn and make settlements, be and the same is hereb amended to read as follows to wit : "The collector of taxes shall collect the taxes charged in saiil duplicates and pay over the same to the respective treasurers or authori ties entitled thereto after deducting his commission for the collection there of, which is hereby fixed at two per centum on all taxes paid to him on which an abatement of five per centum is allowed and at five per centum on all taxes afterward collected. J'rovi ded, That where the total amount of taxes charged on duplicate is less than one thousand dollars the said collector shall receive three per centum on all taxes paid to him on which an abate ment of five per centum is allowed. J'roiudvd further, That all taxes col lected within the sixty days as provi ded in section eight of this act shall be paid over as aforesaid within fifteen days after the expiration of said sixty days, and all taxes thereafter collected during his term of office shall be paid over as aforesaid at regular intervals of one month, and full and complete set tlement of all taxes collected shall be made with the treasurers or authorities entitled thereto not later than three months after the expiration of his term of office. Approved June 2, 1891. Beading's Boyal Route. The Philadelphia and Reading Rail road, by means of its fine equipment, fast trains, luxurious parlor and sleep ing cars, and the general foresight of its management, has succeeded in building up a great reputation ,as one of the most attractive routes to the various summer resorts. The pros perity of Atlantic City, particularly, is due in a great measure to the enter prise of this Company. The Reading route affords unsurpassed facilities for reaching the sea, and a large majority of the travel to Atlantic City is over its line. The ride from Philadelphia to the sea coast is a delightful one. The road is double tracked, steel railed and stone ballasted, and as the engines use only hard coal there is no annoy ance from dust, smoke or cinders. The Company is running trains between Philadelphia and the sea shore in 73 minutes over its double track which, by the way, is the only double track line to the coast. That this quick and absolutely safe, service together with the splendid equipment of the road, is appreciated by the public is shown by the large proportion of the business which it does. An especially conven ient train for Atlantic City from points up in the State has just been put on in the Main Line and Williamsport Division No. 4. which arrives in Phil adelphia at 12.00 noon, and makes connection, by transfer through the city, with the trains leaving Philadel phia at 1. 00 P. M., arriving at Atlan tic City at 2.18 P. M. There are lots of other trains besides the one men tioned, of course, but this is particu larly convenient to the residents of the interior of the State. A Cloud of Witnesses. We know of no medicine that has so many testimonials to its efficiency as S. S. S., the great blood purifier.

Powder ALMOST BURIED HER ALIVE- MARY BRADLEY LIES IN A TRANCE FIVE DAYS AND AWAKES IN HER COFFIN. The little village of Knaucrtown, tip in the upper part of Chester county, is just now greatly exercised over the most remarkable experience of Miss Mary Bradley, the sixteen year old daughter of a well known resident of that place. The young lady has just recovered from a trance or a state of catalepsy and while she lay in this condition several phy sicians, who examined her, pronounc ed her dead. So closely were the symptoms of death indicated by the rigor of her body and the glassy stare of her eyes, that but for the tint which remained in her cheeks her inter ment would have doubtless taken place and she would have revived only to have smothered in the close confines of a coffin. As it was the body was laid out for burial when animation returned. During the five days that she lay in this condition, friends took turns in watching beside the body. Every art known to the medical fraternity was resorted to in order to establish the presence of death or life. Her par ents would not permit her burial, clinging to the hope that it was but a state of suspended animation, as their daughter had not been ill, but went into the state from a quiet sleep. DREAMED SHE WAS IN HEAVEN. There were several friends waiting about the coffin on Wednesday night, and hope had almost died out in the hearts of her parents when the color in the face was noticed to grow deeper. , The bosom heaved, and finally the eyelids trembled. There were spasmodic twitchings of the limbs, and the girl seemed to be in a troub led dream, t inally, after two hours of this troubled sleep, the eyes open ed, and, seeing her friends sitting about, she exclaimed : "I've had such a funny dream. I thought I was dead and went to heaven. Oh, it was so beautiful there, such sweet music and happiness everywhere. I saw Uncle John and he is so contented. It was like sitting in a great cathedral and listening to divine music with one's eyes shut." She continued in this strain for some time, and was greatly surprised when told she had been unconscious for five days. She felt no fatigue, was not unusually hungry, and ap peared generally as well as usual. The case is a mystery to the physi cians. Generally they ascribe her period of catalepsy to physical con ditions favorable to suspended anima tion. She has been a close biblical student, and her piety is of the deep est, so that her "dream" is the natu ral result in such a case.

Kemp's Balsam for the throat and lungs is the only cough medicine that is a real balsam. Many thin, watery cough remedies are called balsams, but such are not.

The admission of Mr. Quay that he will probably retire from the Chair manship of the Republican National Committee is followed by a report from Washington that W. W. Dudley will likewise "probably resign as Treas urer of the Committee" at its meeting on the 29th inst. The meaning of these changes is plain. The Republican party has de termined to unload. In spite of its boastful front it has not forgotten the tremendous defeat which it encounter ed last year. As the campaign of '92 approaches it wishes to "assume a vir tue" though it have it not W. W. Dudley was shown by his own letters to have incited and organ ized the bribery of Indiana voters in "blocks of five." The World charged and proved this. Dudley entered u bluffing libel suit for campaign effect only. But he refrained from swearing to his complaint, and was eventually thrown out of court for declining to submit to an examination upon it. And yet Dudley was defended and saved from prosecution by President Harrison's District-Attorney, and has made a fortune from partisan pickings thrown in his way by the officials at Washington. Quay was charged by The World with being an embezzler and a comip tionist, and the witnesses to prove it were named. He interposed for months a silence that was confession, and when too late he spoke his denial satisfied nobody. And yet for two years and more Quay has remained at the head of the Republican organization and has been recognized as the Assistant President for Pennsylvania.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. "Cleveland and Harrison Again." SENATOR KENNA THINKS NEXT YEAR'S TICKETS WILL FIE HEADED AS IN iSSS. Senator Kcnna has expressed him self on political topics as follows : "The heads of the tickets will be Cleveland and Harrison again. To my mind there is no doubt who the Democratic candidate will be. It is in the air. All the signs point to Cleveland. Some Democratic Sena tors are opposed to him, but that is all there is to the opposition. It is confined to the politicians. "The great mass of the people want Cleveland and in the end their wishes must prevail. I believe that Cleve land is stronger to-day with the rank and file of the party than he was when he left the White House. He is identified with the question which is to form the issue in the campaign of next year the great question of wringing from the people millions of money lor no legitimate purposes of government. 1 hat is bound to be the issue next year, and on it the Demo crats will win. "The silver question is an import ant one, but it will be subordinate to the tariff question. While the masses of the party no doubt believe as I do, that free coinage of silver would be a good thing, they will not turn away from Cleveland because he takes a different view of the question. "On all other great questions of Democratic policy he is sound. Be sides this, the people believe him strong, courageous, honest and patri otic. He gave the country a magnifi cent administration of the government, and he will be the man to lead the Democracy to victory in 1892." Speaking further on the silver ques tion Senator Kenna s .id that a great many of those who demand free coin age of silver will be entirely satisfied with any other means which would give the country more money. Only the silver-producing sections will be satisfied with nothing but the free coin age, because they are interested in sil ver as a commodity as well as money. If by the practice of the Government the volume of currency could be in creased without free coinage of silver it would be all the great mass of the people care for. The demonetization of silver in 1873, the Senator says, was a fraud, and a great many people who now de mand its free coinage do so because they think justice requires it in atone ment for the former wrong to restore to the debtor class the money wrong fully taken by the act of 1873, and to again restore the double standard. The double standard its another great point aimed at, he says, and Cleveland takes the position that free coinage instead of restoring the double standard would, by driving gold out of the country, make a single standard of silver instead of gold. Regarding the next Congress, Sena tor Kenna said he had no doubt that a general bill to revise the tariff will pass the House. If it is a moderate measure, he believed it will have a good chance of passing the Senate and that Harrison would not dare to veto it. The North, and especially the Northwest, will not be with the Re publicans in support of High tariff. He believes that Massachusetts could be carried by the Democrats against the McKinley bill. POULTRY NOTES. No. 24. Chickens fed on an exclusive corn diet, says the New York Observer will not make a satisfactory develope ment, particularly of feathers. Hens fed on a nitrogenous ration will lay more eggs, but of smaller size and poorer quality, than those fed ex clusively on corn. Hens fed on corn, while not suffering in general health, become sluggish ; deposit large masses of fat on the internal organs, and lay a few eggs of large size and excellent quality. The flesh of nitrogenous fed fowls contains more albuminoids and less fat than those fed on a carbonaceous ration, and is darker colored, jucier and more tender. We can plainly see that it is not best to feed chickens on exclusively carbonaceous or corn diet, if we wish the best result, as they become too fat and will lay but few eggs. W. B. German.

DIFFERENT TALE FROM BAR HARBOR the flensntlnnal Story Is Said to Come from n Friend of Until the I'resldant ml Mr. lllulne That Alleged Con spiracy Against tha Main Man. New Yohk, July 21. The New York World's Washington oorreNpondetit tele graphs that paper that a friend of Secre tary ISIafne nnd of the president says that Mr. Blnine certainly has IJrigut's disease. This individual, whose name the corre spondent does not divulge, is reported ait follows: Time for The Truth. "The time has come to tell the truth about Mr. lllaine. Some of us who love the Republican party better than any indi vidual have known it for some time. We had hoped for reasons which are apparent that it would not be necessary to speuk out at least at present. "Uut it la unjust to President Harrison, unjust to the Republican party and un just to the people of the United States to conceal the facts any longer. "Mr. HUlne's ailment is Briht's dis ease in the second stage and passing to the third. "How long his constitution will with stand tlio constant drain upon his system nobody can tell. )ut the disease is llrmly established, and it Is incurable. "That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." That Alleged "Coonplracy." The World's correspondent says bis in formant spoke as if from settled conviction and not without a trace of indignation. "I repent," be continued, more vehemently, "that it would be unjust to President Har rison , the Republican party nnd the entire people to hide the facts another day. Recent reports have liven rise to the Impression that there is some sort of conspiracy on the the part of Republican lenders to misrep resent the condition of Mr. Blaine's health, and so, as he Is reported to have said, 'got mm out or the way.' "Hints have been dropped already by rabid Blaine men that even the president is concerned in such a plot. Anything more outrageous was never conceiv od. is perfectly true that Mr. Harrison has not said that Mr. Blaine had only overworked and would soon be nil right. He has not suid so, for the simple reason tlmt he could not suy so honestly. Ho knows perfectly well thnt Mr. Blaine's disease is incurable. and that consequently ha cannot possibly De a cauaiuate tor the presidency. Concerning Mr. Hlalne's Denial. "Now, Mr. Blaine says in his recent in terview with a World reporter thnt he hnd not Bright's disease, and I do not doubt for a moment thnt he is entirely honest in his belief. His timidity regarding every thing concerning his health is so well rec ognized that strict silence has been en joined. But he is above all a patriot and uenuDllcan, and If he could see as I see how serious is the danger of disrupting tha party by this talk of conspiracy I feel certain that he would be willing to have the truth known." The speaker then states that a chemical and microscopic examination hus proved that Secretary Blaine has Blight's disease and that the disease is now in its second and passing to the third stago. MR.

After breakfast he examines his mall, discusses with his secre tary matters needing his attention; sees nis menus who can, and about 11 o'clock drives or walks out.
