THE' PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. THURSDAY. JANUARY 23, 1890. s TO A New Incline to be Erected on the Southside. IHB PLANS ABE PEEPAEED. The Company to Have a Capital of $200,000. MONASTERY HILL TO BE TUNNELED A charter 'will be applied for in a few days for a corporation to be known as the Pittsburg and Knoxville Incline Company, with a capital stock of $200,000. It ft the purpose of the inc&rporators to build a freight and passenger incline running from the head of South Thirteenth street to a point near Arlington avenue, in the center of Knoxville borough. The gentlemen in terested in the scheme arc Alderman J. M. Schaefer, of the Southside; J. W. Patterson, of Knoxville; Charles Path, of Path, Haber man & Co.; B. L. McCully, the civil en gineer, and Charles Elphinstone. The route has been surveyed and the plans for the incline have been prepared. It is proposed to run the incline up over Pius "street, thence by vay of a tunnel through the hill to the left of the monastery, up the Brownsville road to the Catholic Cemetery. "Work will be commenced on the construction of the incline as soon as the charter is secured and the right of way ob tained, and it is expected to have it in operation in about a year. HEAVY FBEIGIIT TRAFFIC. The new incline will be a valuable adjunct to the advantages of Knoxville and will be an inducement to people to locate on the hill. Aside from this it will be a great convenience to the teamsters. There is a great deal of hauling to the hill from the Southside proper, owing to so much building being in progress in the hill dis trict The chief purpose in building the incline is to accommodate this traffic. The custom of the Mt. Oliver Incline will be considerably affected, however, as people of Knoxville will be landed on South Thirteenth street, for one fare and without any change, while by coming by the Mt. Oliver Incline they are first obliged to take the street cars to the head of the incline, at an increased rate of fare. A Dispatch reporter asked Mr. Path yesterday afternoon to give the details of the proposed incline. The gentleman at first dodged having any connection with the company, or knowing about the proposed incline. It was rumored that those inter ested in the affair held a meeting in Mr. McCully's office a few days ago. He de nied being at the meeting. Afterward he acknowledged that he knew the incline was contemplated, and gave as his reason for be ing so reticent that if it became generally known that the company wanted the right of way over certain properties, the prices for the same would be increased to an un reasonable figure, and the company would be the loser. THE 'SQUIEE CONFESSES. 'Squire Schaefer confirmed the report that the company had been formed, and that the incline will be built. Attorney W. J. Brenncn has been retained as counsel, and has prepared the application for a charter, which will be filed either Saturday or Mon day. "With the completion of the proposed elec tric roads to White Hall, Mt. Lebanon and "West Liberty, the Castle Shannon, the Pittsburg and Knoxville inclines, the peo ple ot the hill and suburban districts will be' supplied with a system of rapid transit that can scarce! v be equaled in any other section of the city. These sections are be coming populated rapidly and to afford means of easy access to the city, these various inclines are demanded. Mr. McCully said he thought the Knox ville incline would be the most important of them all; not so particularly for passen gers, but for the teams. The road has been so bad this winter that it required six and eight horses at times to draw an ordinarr load through the mud up the hills. The in cline will afford its greatest convenience in this respect. POLICE PEOPERTY. The Accommodations nnd Improvements Daring; the Past Twelve-Month. The Department of Public Safety shows up in its Police Bureau considerable value received during the past year for its original appropriation for that bureau of 5309,000. Chief Brown, in speaking of the matter yesterday, called attention to the new first- AN I KNOXVILLE class station houses which were built, one in the Nineteenth and one in the Thirty-sixth wards; to the alterations and practical re construction of the Twelfth ward station house, as well as a thorough refitting of sev eral others. "The police force to-day," he said, "stands on better footing than ever it did, both in official and public estimation. The rules are strictly observed and, although some may think when suspended or discharged that they are too stringently applied, there is no question of the necessity of upholding discipline. I cannot get the 25 men sd " ditional for whom I have applied, and who have been granted by both branches of 0 Council, until provisions have been made for their pay, and it is time enough then to think of which of the hundred and odd ap plicants will get the positions. At present I could not think of the subject, as yon have seen by the reports I have had. to borrow 93,000 from the Health Bureau in helping out in the necessary expenses." W0EK WILL BE EESUHED. Injunction Acalnst Alleaheny Dissolved by Indemnity Bonds. A special meeting of the Allegheny Fi nance Committee was held last night to take action on the matter of issuing indemnity bonds to several citizens along the route of the California extension opening. The city of Allegheny wants the road put through, as it will be of incalculable benefit to the city and create easy access to a large district as yet not bnilt up. The entire matter was amicably settled last night by Mr. Dahlinger offering a reso lution, which was passed, to the effect that the Mayor file bonds for the city to indem nify the property holders specified by the viewers. There were George Witmer, in the sum ot $160; Jacob Eckert and heirs, $2,800; J. C. Dicken $280, and Henry Meyer $365 50, a total of $3,805 50, which is twice the amount of damages claimed, according to the law in the case. TOO JIANY COATS. Three Men Who Provided Themselves With Extra Clothing Arretted. Detective Shore yesterday afternoon met three men on Wylie avenue who seemed to be wearing more clothes than even the cold weather warranted. One of them had on two overcoats, while the others had several suDerfluous garments. Suspecting that the trio had stolen some of the clothes, De tective Shore arrested the three aod took them to Central station. They were James O'Connors, white, and Louis Hnmpford and Winfield Scott, col ored. Tbey had been confined but a short timewhec one of them admitted that the ' extra clothing they wore had been stolen. They came from Washington, Pa., yester- asy. .a new overcoat mat tnev baa pawned at a second-hand store on "Wylie avenue was recovered. A DETECTIYB IN CHDECH. Sol Conlsoa Follows Two Crooked Gentle men Into the Sanctuary. The fact that a detective went to church yesterday morning is not published with the idea of showing that any great religious revival is pending in the Police Bureau, or intended as a reflection upon regularly or dained church goers; still it is a fact. Sol Coulson, while coming down from his home on Tannehill street yesterday morning saw two gentlemen who were included in the circle of his acquaintances, as well as the popular art exhibition known as the rogues' gallery, turn into the German Catholic Church at the corner of Crawford aud Cen ter avenues. The first was Frank Watson, known in the upper aristocracy of thiefdom as "The Little Duke," and the other was James Burke, who, although he flaunts neither prefix nor affix to his name in the shape of a title, has a personal and family record which, in the criminal bine book, would entitle him to a place among the select 400 of the Belief Society, which relieves society of its pocket books and other portable prop erty. A funeral was in progress when the pair entered the building, and the church was crowded; giving a large and varied field of operations for the two eminent members of the Belief Association to work upon. Detective Coulson followed on the heels of the devotees, who mistook a Christian church for a temple to Mercury, who was appropriately enough the god of physicians and of thieves, probably because the former healed others and the latter "heeled" them selves. He called both their attentions to the fact that they knew him well enough, and that the recognition was mutual, and also that they should accompany him. This they did, to the Eleventh ward sta tion, where they luxuriated for a couple ot hours, when they were escorted, with all due observance to the dignity of the Little Duke and his retainer, to the office of Judge McKenna, where, on a charge of being "known thieves," each received a sentence of 90 days to the workhouse. The only ex cuse they could render for being in the city was that they had arrived from Ohio on Tuesday night, which they spent with a friend, and, getting chilly yesterday morn ing, went into the church to get warm, when they responded to the hospitable invi tation of Detective Coulson. ICE TO BE ASSUELD. The Chantanqna Company Hns Pnrehased Its Ice Slachlnes. The Chautauqua Ice Company has com pleted its plans for the new ice plant, and will begin to-day tearing down the houses on the lot adjoining its premises, which it has just bought. This lot is 50 feet wide, and runs from Mulberry alley to Pike street. The machine will be in operation within 90 days, and will turn out 100 tons of ice per day. The company contemplate the purchase of the entire block, though this is not abso lutely necessary, as the upper stories of their present building could each be utilized, and thereby a capacity for the manufacture daily of 500 tons of ice could be readily ob tained. The Pittsburg Meat Supply Company, S. W. Hill manager, has contracted for a plant for refrigerating its building at the corner of Church avenue. This plant will also, in addition to this service, produce 25 tons of ice per day, which will be put on sale. Plants have also been sold within the past week at TJnionlown, Pa., and Parkers burg, W. Va. UNITED WORKMEN. Financial Operations of the Order Daring tho Month of December. . Grand Becorder J. M. McNair, of the A. O. O. W., issued his financial statement for the month of December yesterday. It shows collections from subordinate lodges amount ing to $30,636. Fifteen deaths occurred dur ing the month, on which there was paid $28,000. Mr. McNair also received the statement of financial transactions of the Supreme Be corder, M. W. Sackett, of Meadville, Pa., showing receipts for tin- peneral fund amounting to $972 12, and disbursements $2,121 56. The receipts for the beneficiary fund was $2,207; for the relief fund, $3,999 84; for the TJpchnrch Memorial lund, $1,728 82, all of which was paid out The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania will be held in Williamsport, Pa., February 25. WILL HOLD A BAKQCET. Eleventh Ward Citizens Indorse Candidates Tor Conncll. The Flinn Bepublican Club of the Elev enth ward met last night in the schoolhouse for the purpose of indorsing candidates for Common Council. A large number was present and Colonel Bobert Smothers pre sided. Mr. John Bell, in an emphatic speech, pointed out the duties of every Be publican to his party, and moved that the club indorse the candidacy of H. H. N eiman aud W. T. Taggart, the Bepnblican candi dates for Common Council from the Eleventh ward. The indorsement was unanimous. Colonel Smothers and John Wright, the committee oppointed to make arrangements for a ban quet for the club, reported progress. WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING. Some Who Travel, Some Who Do Not, and Others Who Talk. Councilman "Jack" Pitcairn, who en joys great personal popularity, was lying at the point of death yesterday, his illness having re cently assumed a very dangerous phase. Mr. Pitcairn was taken sick among the earliest suf ferers from the grip in this city. He subse quently partially recovered, but ventured into the open air too soon, and met with a relapse. Every effort has been made to save his life, but the news of yesterday caused his scores of friends to regretfully abandon hopes of his recovery. Mr. Pitcairn has been a conductor on the trains of the Pennsylvania system for several years, and his urbanity and bright spirits have endeared him to hundreds of friends both in municipal and railroad con nections. Hon. William Heilman, D. J. Maekey and E. P. Huston, of Evansnlle, Ind., were in the city yesterday and left last evening for the East. Mr. Maekey is the President of the Evansvllle and Terre Haute, Evansville and Indianapolis and Peoria, Decatur and Evans ville Railroads. Mr. Huston is connected with the same system. Owen Groom, Jr., wife and son, of Jackson. Mich., are at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. They are on their way East, and were compelled to stop in this city by the sudden illness of Mrs. Groom. Detective John Murphv and Delinquent Tax Collector Samuel C. Grier, of Allegheny, left last evening for a five days' business trip to Philadelphia. They were accompanied by Mr. John Smithley. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Dunlevy, of Center avenue, are in Philadelphia at the bedside of Mr. Dunlevy's sister, Mrs. E. B. Sharp, who is lying at the point of death. W. J. Bainey and son, of Cleveland, arrived from the East yesterday, and are at the Hotel Dnquesne. They were joined here by Mr. Hainey's daughter. Edwin Ludlow, superintendent of the mines of the Choctaw Coal Railway Company, of McAlester, Indian Territory, is at the Hotel Dnquesne. Patrick S.

Henry Shrnk, of Erie, the architect and the builder of the splendid new house of the Dnquesne Club, is at tho Seventh Avenue. Major James E. Sayers, of Waynes burg, an officer of the Tenth Regiment, N. G. P., is at the Seventh Avenne Hotel. Dr. J. G: Cunningham, of Kittannlng, Is at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. Colonel W. A. Kreps, of Mercer, is at the Hotel Anderson. TILERS WILL STICK. The Union Will Not Leave the F. of L. Bat Some Members Feel Sore. MB. GOMPERS ADVICE TO FOSTER. A Largo New Foundry to be Erected Sear the Old Clinton Mill. ELECTEICIANS LEAYING THE CUT President Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, attended the meeting of the Marble and Slate Workers and Tile Layers' Union last night, in Allegheny. The meeting was in session until nearly 12 o'clock, and at its conclusion, it was stated by the officeis that there was no news to be given out. It was said that the union would not withdraw from the Federation, but the breach between the members of the union and the Mosaic and Encaustic Tile Layers' Union has been widened more than ever. President Gom pers maintained his position in regard to the strike at Herri ck's. FOSTER NOT ADMITTED. Among those who applied for admission to the meeting was Joseph Foster, the man who is the bone of contention between the two unions. He was a former member of the M. & S. W. and T. L. U., but when the M. & E. T. L. U was organized he left the former organization and went into the latter. When the members of the latter union struck against him he paid his fine and ap plied for re-election into the M. & S. W. and T. L. U. He expected to be reinstated last night, but the union refused to do this. He will now either go back to his own union or become a non-union man. He says he would rather be driven out of the business than associate again with the members of the M. & E. T. L. U. When President Gompers left the meet ing last night he was met outside the door by Mr. Foster, who wanted to explain his position. He had an interesting Interview with Mr. Gompers. The latter told him as a workingman he had better make his peace with his union. The President of the Federation told him that he was wrong in the matter and the union had a right to fine him. Mr. Foster had a number of details to tell, but his statements did not change Gompers' mind about the trouble. When he told Foster to go back to his union, the latter declared that he would die first. THE TEOCBLE ONLY BEGUN. When the meeting was over, Foster could obtain no information about the disposition of his case further than that they had not done anything about it. This was equivo lent to a refusal to elect him. He claims the trouble has but fairly begun, and says his friends will stick to him. This may mean that they will withdraw from the union, and it is'dead certain that they will not go into the other tile layers' organiza tion. It is possible that the discontented members may form an independent organi zation and attach themselves to the Knights of Labor. There are already two tile layers unions in the Federation, and it is not likely that another charter will be granted to that trade. The members of the union that met last night are sore on account of the organization of the M. & E. T. L. U. They say the members are expelled Knights of Labor from a local assembly in New York. This was the cause of the feel ing of antipathy against the Federation officials. President Gompers, after the meeting, said the men who threatened to withdraw had kept very quitt about the matter during the session. AX0THEE SOUTHSIDE PLANT. The Union Foundry Company Will be Moved From Woods' Ran. Another new manufacturing concern will be located on the Southside. The Union foundry, at Woods' Bun, will be moved to that side of the river. The plant will be enlarged and its capacity increased. The company who will put up the plant will be the third of its kind in existence in this country. Application will be made in a few days to the Governor for a charter for the Union Foundry and Machine Company. The ap plicants will be Messrs. F. N. Hoffstot, James M. Bailey, James W. Friend, Frank H. Zimmers and C. C. Morrow. The plant will be located on the old Clinton mill-property, below the Monongahela bridge. Although the incorporators are all inter ested in the Clinton furnace, the new cor poration will be entirely separate and dis tinct from the Clinton Iron and Steel Company. The latter are building a new blast furnace, a full account of which was printed in The Dispatch several weeks ago. The foundations for the new foundry and machine shop have been laid, and it is ex pected that the new plant will be in opera tion by April 1. The new foundry will be 120x90 feet. The machine shop will be 60x 100. The plant will give employment to about150 men. The improvement will cost about $15,000. The plant will be run exclusively on heavy machine mold gearing. There are onlv two concerns of this kind in the United States. They are Poole & Hunt, of Balti more, and "the Wharton Manufacturing Company, of Cleveland. The plant at Woods' Bnn will be abandoned. WILL NOT STKIKE. President Smith Says tho Glass Workers Will Not Go Oat. President William Smith, of .the Ameri can Flint Glass Workers' Union, was seen last night in regard to the report published in the afternoon that members of the union would probably strike to-morrow on account of certain flintglass bottle manufacturers try ing to compel them to work molds sent here by Eastern green bottle manufacturers who are engaged in the strike. Mr. Smith said: "The idea is preposterous. We cannot be come engaged in the strike. We have an agreement with the flint manufacturers that we will not do any work for 'struck' factor ies. The manufacturers in thiscityknowthis clause well enough and would not try to run in these molds. The green bottle trade is entirely distinct lrom our organization, and the blowers are organized in the Knights of Labor. Beyond supporting them in a fra ternal way to continue the strike, we have nothing to do with them. Of course, if any attempt was made to have our men blow green goods, we would refuse to do so, aud if necessary we would strike. As yet no at tempt has been made, nor do I think there will be." The strikt in the East remains in about the same condition as last week. The fol lowing houses are still idle. Swindell's and Baker's, ot Boston; Haggerly's aud Brook field's, of Brooklyn; Gaynor, of Salem, N. J.; Thomas' and Bodine's.of Williamsburg; Whitnev, of Glassboro, and the factories at Clyde. N. Y., Scranton, Pa., Holley, Pa., and Poughkeepsie, K. Y. EAST END STKIKE SETTLED. The Electricians Are Leaving; Town, Not Caring- to Take Chances. A number of the striking electricians are leaving the city. Six of them will depart ior Cincinnati this morning and two went West yesterday. Theywereof the opinion that there was little chance of their securing their old positions and concluded to leave town. President Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, and Vice President Martin held a conierence with Manager Chase, of the East End Electric Light Compauy.yesterday in regard to the strike. Mr. Chase said he would take back two of the strikers now. He said he did not have .positions for any more at present He stated he would find positions for the others as soon at vacancies occurred, and promised not to discriminate against any of them on account of the strike. A conference with Manager Wells, of the Keystone Construction Company, will be held to-day, when that company's strike will be settled. The union has not yet received any official notice of the settlement of the strike. Until they do, they cannot take any action in regard to the matter. THE BOSS PLASTERER HOME.

A PHILADELPHIA WRINKLE. Tho Sore Rood to Retail License Hnrder to Travel Than That of Jordan. Judge Magee states that the hearing uf ap plicationsor license to sell liquor will be gin at the usual time. The road to the goal is no better paved than it was last year, if all told is to be believed, the appended interro gations to applicants having been added.

Three of Onr Leading: Drag-grists Give Their Opinions of a Popalnr Remedy. Messrs. F. H. Eggers & Son, Allegheny, say: "During the early part of November, 1889, we received our first supply of Cham berlain's Cough Bcmedy and have since re ordered, making the entire amount to date 19 dozen. The sales are daily increasing, and are to-day larger than that of any other patent or proprietary article we handle." Mr. E. E. Heck, 194 Fede-al Bt, Alle gheny, says: "I have placed my second or der for Chamberlain's Couch Bemedy since last November. I regard it as the best sel ler in that line of remedies I have in the store and one of the most satisfactory in re sults." Mr. E. G. Stucky, cor. Wylie ave. and Fulton st., says: I received my first sup ply of Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy Octo ber 30 last, and up to the present date have placed orders for 20 dozen.

Salt to be Brought Against the Election Board Members. TWENTY AFFIDAVITS AND SIX VOTES There is war imminent in the Eighteenth ward in the Democratic ranks, the late pri maries not suiting the general idea of the Democracy of the ward. There were three candidates for Select Council on the Demo cratic ticket, Messrs. Frank Brocken, son of the well-known contractor of that ward, Michael Dwyer and Mr. Leyden. Frank Brocken was urged by a number of his young friends to, run for the membership in Select Council, and he consented. When the primaries came off it was found that in the First and Second districts, or the lower part of the ward, Mr. Brocken was chosen by large majorities, while at the Third dis trict, near the Sharpsburg bridge, there were only some six votes registered for Mr. Brocken. An investigation by Mr. Brocken's friends showed that over four times that number of votes were cast, and affidavits were secured showing 20 votes to have been deposited for him which were sworn to be fore Mr. P. M. Cushing, giving him a full majority of the votes cast at the primaries. This has been so fully agitated that the whole ward is torn up on the subject, and meetings are being held every night to ex press condemnation of the action of the election board. Suits will be brought by the friends of Frank Brocken within a day or two, to compel either a recount or a full statement of the status of the votcs; and there is no doubt but that one of the liveliest political fights on record is on the tapis in the Eighteenth ward. The father of the gentleman who claims to be Councilman-elect ot the Eighteenth ward, was seen at his old homestead last night and said: "I regret very much that Frank has gone into this contest, on account of the possible connection I might have with the city on contracts. Still, his friends urged him to make a fight for the nomination, and for a young man such as he is it is undoubtedly a great honor to gain the distinction of repre sentative to Select Council. Of course, bis friends who first induced him to work for the nomination are still with him, but as to what Bteps he shall take I know nothing." A thorough search of the ward failed to get the prospective candidate, althongh traces of his presence a little earlier showed that he was attending to business. The gen eral opinion is that the election board will have to answer to the courts for its proceed ings at the late Democratic primaries. ON GRAVE CHAEGES. J. E. Kynn, erf Jcnnnettr, Arrested In This City With His Stepdaughter. J. E. Byan, alias James Wallace, abont 35 years of age and a painter by occupation, from Jeannette, Pa., was arrested at the Baltimore and Ohio station last night with his stepdaughter, Hattie Jane Martz. They had lett home some ten days ago and went to Wheeling, W. Va., where he had gone into the book agency business. The charges upon which he is arrested are of the gravest natnre and the girl will be given over to day into the charge of M. J. Dean, Super intendent of the Anti-Cruelty Society. The matter was brought to the attention of the police authorities here by telegrams from the Chief of Police of Wheeling, Louis Delbrugge, who had been notified of the escapade by the proprietor of the hotel at which the pair was stopping. A large mass of correspondence on the subject is in the hands of Inspector McAleese, among whicb is a letter from the girl's mother, which either criminates her husband or needs some very explicit explanation. The child claims to be but 14 years of age last October, and tells her story only too plainly. Hi: POCKETED THE CA8H. Clerk Appleton Arrested for Embezzlement In Allegheny. Houston E. Appleton, a clerk in the em ploy of B. F. Bynd, the lumberman, of Allegheny, was arrested and placed in the Allegheny lockup last night on a charge of embezzlement, preferred by his employer before Alderman McKelvey. Appleton, it is alleged, collected some accounts amount ing to between $200 and $300, and failed to turn it over to the firm. He was arrested by Constable Bynd, the prosecutor's son, and in default of $500, was held tor a hear ing to-day. IXCLINE OFFICERS. A Meeting; of the Stockholders of tho St. Clair Company.

They Seek the Police Stations and the Work honse la Winter. The tramps who stopped at Pittsburg on their way south, concluding that tbey would enjoy Florida weather in'this locality, were startled Monday night when the wind began to circle around their nomadic forms. It was entirely unexpected. They had enjoyed such pleasant weather so far, and it was a wretched disappointment to have Dakota zephyrs put in ah appearance just when they were about to welcome the joyous springtime. Those who had not secured a furnace berth immediately sought the police stations and applied for lodging. The re sult was that nearly every station was crowded to its fullest capacity. "This cold weather drives the lads in," said a Sergeant at one of the station houses last evening. "They come here like bees to a hive, but, of course, no comparison can be made between the habits of the two. A peculiarity I have noticed is the way they register on certain nights. For instance, to night they may all register from Buffalo, to morrow night, with one or two exceptions, they will all register from New York, the next night from Baltimore and so on. I don't know how it happens, but nevertheless it is a fact, and one which I never have been able to make any of them explain. The most of them, however, are sailors, who come down here to spend the winter and then return to the lakes when navigation opens. They like to be sent to the works, and whenever a magistrate gets a record among the fraternity for sending vags to that institution, he always has his hands full when cold weather commences. They are a harmless lot of wretches and in all my experience I have never had any trouble with a professional tramp." JUST AT THE EIGHT TIME. The Brldgewater Gas Company Strikes Big at Bakerstown. At 9:17 o'clock last night Mr. George I. Whitney received a telegram stating that the Brldgewater Gas Company had struck a gas well at Bakerstown, the pressure of which was between 600 and 700 pounds to the inch. Some people felt that it would be a grand consummation could the flow from it have been turned into local mains, es pecially those who arose late, and, having no oil stove handy, were forced to drink cold coffee at breakfast yesterday morning. The Position Changed. B. J. Babcock, a museum lecturer, was arrested in a market hotel last night after a sharp run, and placed in the Central station. The complaint was made that he was beat ing his wife at No. 36 Diamond, but an in vestigation seemed to reverse the position of beater and beatee. He will be held for a hearing. Fork Petition nt the Polls. There is a movement on foot among the citizens of Lawrenceville to have papers at the polls on election day to be signed by the voters, petitioning the Government to ap propriate the Arsenal grounds for park pur poses. A Swede's Experience With tho Croup. An honest Swede tells his story in plain, but unmistakable language for the benefit of the public: One oi my children took a severe cold and got the croup. I gave her a teaspoonful of Chamberlain's cough rem edy, and in five minutes later I gave her one more. By this time she had to cough up the gathering in her throat Then she went to sleep, and slept good tor 15 minutes. Then she got up and vomited; then she went back to bed, and slept good for the remainder of the night She got the croup the second night, and I gave the same remedy with the same good results. I write this because I thought there might be some one in the same need and not know the true merits of this wonderful medicine. Charles A. Thompseen, Des Moines, Iowa. Fifty-cent bottles.
