BTJ.VGER STARES THEM IN THE 1JACE,
But Notirltbstiindlng That Fact the Miners
Are Still Determined.
rSFECUL TELEORAM TO TBI DISPATCH. 1
PcjcxscTAtraET, February S3. The strike
Is no nearer solution than it was weeks ago.
In fact the prospects now of a settlement for
some time to come are exceedingly remote.
The condition of tbe striking miners is becom.
ing'serions, and if something does not turn up
by which tbey can obtain employment in the
very near fnture there is nothing to save
them and their families from starvation. There
' are now nearly 1,000 new men at work in the
mines, and tbe company is doing full time.
While the Beecbtree miners are in full sym
pathy with their locked-out brethren at Wals
ton and Adrian, tbey do not deem it advisable
to come out themselves, in support of the
strikers. If they thought thtlr coming out
would brins about a settlement, the Beecbtree
men say they would cladly throw up their picks
and quit work, but this wonld only place them
in a bad position, and is not calculated to ben
efit the cause of the Walston and Adrian men.
A SENSIBLE POLITICIAN.
Erie' Defeated Candidate for the Mayoralty
Will Not Conteat tbe Seat.
tEFECLU. TELEGBJDC TO THE DISPATCH.!
Erie, February 2L Wellington Downin&tha
defeated Republican candidate for Mayor, was
urged by friends to contest the right of Mayor
Clark r to a second term. The grounds for the
contest were that the statute under which
Mayor Clarke was elected last year forebad
him to succeed himself, as does the statute un
der which he has just now been elected. Mr.
Downing authorizes your correiponuent to
state that he will not contest the seat, and as be
is tbe only person who at this time has tbe right
to make a fight, that settles the matter. Mr.
Downing accepted tbe nomination for tbe office
unwillingly and had no expectation of being
elected.

Constipation,
IF not remedied in season, is liable to
become habitual and chronic. Dras
tic purgatives, by weakening the bowels,
confirm, rather than cure, the evil.

ally recommended by the faculty as the
best of aperients.
"Having been subject, for years, to
constipation, -without being able to find
much relief , I at last tried Ayer's Pills.
I deem it (both a duty and a pleasure
to testify that I have derived great ben
eflt from their use. For over two years
past I have taken one of these pills
every night before retiring. I would not
willingly be without them." Q. "W.
Bowman, 26 East Main St., Carlisle, Fa.
f I have been taking Ayer'a Pills and
using them in my family since 1857, and
cheerfully recommend them to all in
need of a safe but effectual cathartic."
John M. Boggs, Louisville, Ky.
" For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that tbe doctors could do no more
for me. Then I began to take Ayer's
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so that
now I am in excellent health." S. L.
Loughbridge, Bryan, Texas.
" Having used Ayer's Pills, with good
results, I fully Indorse them for the pur
poses for which tbey are recommended."
