Edward Steubcndorf, who would have en 55 year old Lad he lived until April T, came to this country about 40 years ago ith his mother and father.

Edward Stcn- miorf w as then a handsome young man. le met his cousin "Wilhelmina," daughter of is mother's sister and his father's brother, ldfellinlove with her, but all the rela fis opposed the niarriase bitterly, and it as abandoned. The war being o cr the eabendorfs came back to America, to the nte tenement house. Ednard, the story goes, swore that, as he uid not marry his cousin, he would marry ohc. and would have nothing to do with oanen. It seems that "Wilhelmina took inie such vow herself, lor she has never arried. The Steubendorfs had a little oney, and the youn? man devoted himself i study and spent all his days and evenings img his books. He was silent, morose ad suspicious. He would allow no young irU to come into the apartment. He grew ore and more eccentric c ery year. In lbTC his father died and his mother as shortly afterward so ill that she made derail the property to the son, thinking was about to die.

Alter his mother's death it was seven ears, sccording to the tales that are told, rfore any one crossed the threshhold of ie little apartment Steubendorf occupied, hose of the tenement people who were itir very early used to see him go down airs with a basket. He went to the itcher's, and got a little cheap meat, en to the bakers for one loaf of bread, hen he went hack to his rooms, bolted the ot, and was seen no jnorc until the next oming. If anyone knocked he made no iswer. Tf his name was called, he asked what's your business?" and unless the re !v ftas satisfactory lie would not open the jor. Dili His Own Stuir-Scrubbing. The neighbors could hear the steady rock, ck, of lhe chair in which he sat reading 1 day. It is the custom in this tenement r the tenants to take turns at scrubbing ie stairs. When his turn came he took a ucket and brush and did the scrubbing .niself. He paid no attention to the jeers f the women and the children. The only her sound from his rooms, beside the tcking chair's creak, was the noise of his lother's sewing machine, on which he did t old bachelor's sewing. Oae day, some vears ago, his next-door eighbors heard a fall in his rooms, followed T groans. The door was burst open,- and ley Eaw him lying on the floor in a faint, i was in the bitterest cold of the winter, le had no fire, and had been sitting in his lcking chair with the feather bed around iia to keep him warm.

When the doctor explained to him that would die unless he ate more, he said he ould eat more. He was a materialist and i Bthei't, and held that, as this life was t, he would do well to live as long as pos lie. ?o, alter this, for two years he grew i health and s'rength aud sire. He barely anked the neighbors who had rescued im and his door was barred as before. It seems that about two years ago he jprnto starve himself again.

The land tdy brought a notary and a will was made, fci'ch, so the housekeeper told the ncigh rs, left all the property to her. At 6 'clock that evening Steubendorf died. The other tenants do not like Mrs. uehr.e, and they were not pleased at her jod fortune, so they made smiling inquiries f Mr. Kuehne as to his present views pon the division of property, and asked im when his would be divided. Xotary 'ermani would not talk about the will, he amount of the property, which is in iveral banks, is said to be about $15,000, though this is mere guesswork. LKVYIKG OK EilLEOAD PEOPEHTY. .

Shator Read a Paper Beforo the Academy or Science and Arts on the Geology of the Vicinity or l'lttsbnru Tcatnres of the Discourse. John D. Shafer read a paper before the Academy of Science and Art last evening on the geology of the vicinity of Pittsburg. He said: "I propose to present a sketch of the geology of the vicinity of Pittsburg not from a professional, but a personal point of view. The water taken up by the sun is clean, but as soon as it falls to the earth it begins to dissolve the materials and when by torcc of gravity formed into a body begins to move mechanically and always toward a lower level, and in doing so carries a load which it takes from the land. The ob iou result of this i the destruction of the land and its reduc tion to the sea level. This region is com posed of hills and valleys. If we were to strip oil the loose earth we could see that the hills are not thrown uu, but that the vallcvs have been dug out. If we take any particular stratum, for example the coal vein, we find the same layers or strata above and below it in the ame relative position wherever it is found. The layers of rock are called carboniferous because Uiey are interspersed with vegetable origin called coals. "The carboniferous rocks, which contain the valuable coals that make Pittsburc what it is, begins at the thick sandstone in the Allegheny Mountains northeast of us. As we approach Pittsburg this rock grad ually slopes down and is. about COO feet under where we stand. Above this lies a series of rocks about :ViO feet thick called the lower production coal meas ures. In this thickness there are about five workable coal beds. At different places and about 100 feet above the Piedmont sandstone is a thick lime stone called ferriferous, from -which is mined the limestone used by blast furnaces here. Over the lower coal measures lies a series of rocks called the lower barrens, be cause it has no workable coal beds and in that sense is non-productive. The lower barrens form the surface of almost all of Allegheny county north ot the Ohio and Allegheny rivers The Mahoning sand stone is in two layers, with some limestone arid shale between; it may be seen in this vicinity, and is the best building stone to be found hereabouts. Immediately over this is a limestone about three feet thick, which is geologically important. "In the barrens it is hard to tell where you are or what is above and below you, owing to the variable character of the strata, bnt this limestone, which is a continuous sheet over the country, is called the green crinoidal, which is very hard, and wherever found you know you are half way between the Mahoning sandstone and the Pittsburg coal. Above this is a mass of shale, streaked with yellow and. red. Xear the top it contains an impure limestone com posed of hard lumps containing iron. This rock can be seen in Coal Hill. A few feet further up you will come to the nodula limestone. .Xext a sandstone known as the Morgan town, of which Boyd's Hill is com posed. Further up the hill you meet two limestones which cross the road and a third at the bend; this is but a few feet below the Pittsburg coal. The Pittsburg coal bed is commercially and geologically the most important of all the strata for many hundreds of feet above and below it. CHILEAN JUSTICE BEACIKG UP. The Sentences of the Three Valparaiso Itioters Are tarsely lncrcnsed. Valparaiso, Feb. 5. Judge of Crimes Foster yesterday passed sentence in the long-pending and much-discnssed Baltimore assault case of October IC, 189L His sentence is sub ject to review by the Court of Appeals. The document covers 180 pages and goes over again all the evidence against the ac cused, and compares it closely with the evi dence presented by the prisoners. The find ing of the Court is as follows: Carlos Arena, alias Gomez, sentenced to 540 days' imiirisonment for wounding Will lam Turnbull, the coal heaver of the Balti moie, who died ot Ins injuries; 300 days for public disorder; CO days for carrying a knife nnd 2J days for giving an assumed name. Tills makes a total of 920 days. Jo-o Anumuda, sentenced to 320 daj-s' Imprisonment for injuring Turnbull. Frea erico Rodriguez, sentenced to 140 days' im prisonment for wounding Boatswain's Mate Charles W. Itiggin, another of the murdered American seamen, for public disorder and for carrying a knife. It is held by Judge Foster that the evi dence does not show that Rodriguez killed Biggin. On the contrary, it is claimed that Biggin's dcatli was caused by a shot which was fired by some unknown person. Gomez and Bodriguez, under the Chilean penal code, must pay the families of Turnbull and lliggin damages. These damages are recov erable by civil suit PATIIS0N WANTS BETTEE B0ADS.

WnERE THE JOKElR IS LOCATED There lias been a great deal written and said in the last few weeks in regard to the surgical operation technically known as the amputation of the vermiform appendix. The operation is one of unusual interest, not only on account of the effective cures which have recently been accomplished in the cases of several well-known men, but from the fact that every man and every woman is liable to be called upon to have the operation performed, and that from no personal fault About the first thing a mother tells her child when it is old enough to'eat for itself is to beware of orange aud grape seeds, as they irrc liable to lodge somewhere in Its body and stay there and cause death. Until the case of Captain Edward Temple Bose, of London, reported in Tun Dis l'ATCir a few days ago, and more recently that of Vice-Chancellor II. C Putney, of Morristown, gained such notoriety, the idea was regarded by many as a supersti tion. The serious nature of these cases, however, showed what terrible things may happen through a foreign substance lodging In the body. "What the Vermiform Appendix Is. The vermiform appendix is a little pouch from three to six inches in length and about the diameter of a goose quill, extending from the sac called the saecum, which is an extension of the larger intestine, and into which the smaller intestine opens through a valve. All food mnst pass through the smaller intestine, and is then drawn up from the sac through the .larger intestine. It is while the food is thus being transferred into the larger intestine that the danger arises If any sort of a foreign substance, such as a reed or piece of oyster shell, passes into the appendix inflammation sets in, and death is liable to ensue from peritonitis. The number ef cases in which the opera tion has been successfully accomplished in tlie last few years has led a great many to believe that an immediatiou operation is the surest and best treatment. The appendix, for which the doctors have failed to find any possible use in the econ omy of the body, is situated about three inches to the left of the right hip bone. It is a worm-shaped pouch, and is usually bent upward. The operation consists of cutting it off at its mouth. The incision is usually about six inches long, and the depth de pends upon the amount of muscle and fat of the individual. In a person of average build the incision would not have to be over an inch irom the outer skin. It Has Baffled the Doctors. One of the peculiarities of the complaint, which is, of course, an accident, but shows how difficult it is to avoid, is the number of cases of doctors who have died from it The most distinguished case was that of the cel ebrated eye specialist, Dr. Agnew, who died Irom the operation.- The case of Captain Bose was in many ways very remarkable. The operation per formed upon him was one of the most diffi cult ever performed. The exact cause of the trouble in his case is not known, but about two and a half years ago he suffered from his first attack of what is technically known as appendicitis. After that he had 14 attacks. Some lasted but a few days; others for many weeks. The complaint grew more serious witti eacn attacK. Captain Kosc was treated by the English' and French doctors medicinally, but with out avail. They refused to operate on ac count of the extreme difficulties of the case presented. Captain Bose being extremely large, heavily built and his abdominal wall being excessively thick, made the chances of recovery in case of an operation seem ex ceedingly small. From a number of sources Captain Bose heard that American surgeons had been par ticularly successful in this line of surgery, and he at last decided to have the operation performed in this country. Captain Koso's Case a Hard One. His case was diagnosed by Dr. Francis P. Ivinnicutt, the attendant physician of St Luke's Hosnital, as chronic appendicitis, and Dr. "William T. Bull confirmed -Dr. Kinnicutt's opinion. While the doctors told Captain Bose the operation would be extremely difficult on account of his size, at the same time a fatal attack was liable to occur any day. Captain Bose decided to try the operation. It took place at St Luke's Hospital in this city. It lasted two hours and a half, and was fraught with difficulties. Not onlv was the abdominal wall four inches thick, but the appendix was abnormally bent up be hind the large intestines. The condition of the patient was extremely critical for two days, but he finally recovered, and was dis charged from the hospital. The case of Vice Chancellor H. C. Pitney, of Morristown, was a very difficult one, but an operation similar to the one on Captain Bose was performed, and his ultimate re covery is expected. The complant is now so much more fully understood by physicians that nine out of ten recommend an operation. A man or woman afflicted with appendicitis is never safe until the operation has been had. MILLS TALKS TO BEF0BMEBS. He Thinks Throosh Cleveland His Party Has Itecelved-a Check. New York, Feb. 5. Special The Be form Club, as President E Ellery Anderson expressed it, had Hon. Soger Quarles Mills "in our midst" to-night. The Congress man agreed with the Beformers beautifully, and the speech he made was heartily applauded. The club gave him an informal reception. Before the re ception Mr. Louis AVindmuller gave the Congressman a dinner in one of the club rooms. After the din ner Mr. Mills came downstairs and entered the parlor, amid great applause. Mr. Anderson introduced him, and nearly everybody in the room shook hands with him. Then Mr. Mills spoke for nearly 15 minutes. He said: Tlio" members of tlio Reform Club are know nail over the land as the most zealous and tireless workers for the extirpation of the greatest abuse that lias over fas tened itselt on our administration.

Saloon Men Complain of High Taxes. Theodore Straub, the "brewer, went to New York last evening on private business. He complains that the business tax of 10 mills on saloon men, as proposed by the Pittsburg Councils, is a very grievous bur den." An appeal has been made by the liquor people to have it corrected. Mr. Straub says the saloon keepers are loaded down with.obligations and they ought to have some rights. Their license fees and taxes are about as heavy as the business will stand. SfllSgffi3Kl POLITICIANS CONEUSED. The Fight for Collector Said to Bo Between Graham and Lyon. The delay in the appointment of a Col lector of Internal Bcvenue for the Pittsburg district has set the Bepublican politicians to speculating, aud those best posted now allege that E. A. Fulton Lyon, of West moreland, is now first in line for the po sition. The demands of Westmoreland have been forcibly given to the President. Ex-Becorder Graham has not yet aban doned hope. He said yesterday that George "W. Miller-was no longer in the fight. C. L. Magec arid Miller were in Washington this week in consultation .with' Postmaster "Wanamaker. Both are confident that Miller will be appointed, but Mr. Graham savs the fight is now between himself aud Mr. Lyon. John Jiles Here on the Quiet. The presence of John Jiles in Pittsburg just now is to an extent confusing the anti Harrity Democrats of the city. Mr. Jiles has been on the Southside setting up dele gates to the State Convention, and during his stav in Pittsburg he has not been seen about his old resorts. It is said he has been working secretly with P. Foley to give Secretary Harrity the delegation from Alle gheny county to the State Convention. Itrpnblican "Ward Candidates Named. The Bepublicans of the Second ward, Allegheny, met last evening in the North avenue school to suggest names for School Directors and "Ward Assessor. The result was "W. A. Ford, G. D. Biddle, Lewis Mc Mullen and Mr. Todd were named for Di rectors, two of whom are to be elected. C "W. Smith was suggested for Assessor. A Democratic Candidate-for Councils. Frnnk B. Malory is n candidate for Com mon Council for the Thirtieth ward on the Democratic ticket. It is said he will be in dorsed by the citizens. BBOSI'S PBIENDS INDIGNANT. The Iron and Glass Bank ShonUl nave Prosecuted Him Before. An information was made yesterday be fore Alderman McMaster's, charging John C. Brosi, the former jeweler of the South side, with forgery. Drosi had just com pleted a term in the penitentiary for his wrongdoings, and is now to be tried again for practically the same offense. The in formation was made by an official of the Iron and Gloss Bank of the Southside, who charges the defendant with forging names to several notes and checks amounting to $600. A day has not yet been fixed for a hearing. Iii the meantime Brosi is under bail. There is considerable feeling among his friends at the attitude taken by the officials of the Iron and Glass Bank toward Brosi. They say when he was tried originally there was an effort made to have all the banks that had been victimized to co-operate in his prosecution. The Iron and Glass Bank refused to have anything to do with the case. The German Savings Bank officials went to the trouble and expense of having Brosi arrested and brought from Canada, and in conjunction with the Manufacturers' Bank had him convicted.

He de sired aid to return to his parents's home in New York City. His story was to this effect: Four years ago he was sent for incor rigibility to an asylum near the home of his father. Th8 authorities of the institution educated him, and upon his affirmation that he did not wish to be sent home, secured for him a place on a farm at Putnam, 111. Stover worked there for three years and ascertained indirectly that his father was dead. This information he learned a few t prrln tr he reached Allegheny, and, not having any uiuuey, sioppeu ai me ponce quarters. His case will be referred to-day to the Depart ment of Charities. STERILIZED milk Tally explained by Frances Fisher Wood In THE DISPATCH to-morrow. He Forgot to Ketarn His Borrowings. James Sproul had a hearing before Alder man Donovan last evening on a charge of larceny by bailee, preferred by George Coll. Sproul lives at 323 Second avenue, and Coll worked in the "Pork House" mill in "Woods Bun. Coll alleged he loaned Sproul a coat to wear to a party, and that Sproul refused to return it. Snroul had a partial hearing January 28, ana was held in 5300 bail for a final hearing yester day. At the hearing last evening he was held in ?300 bail for court Police Maclitrates' Work.

The Eecd Well Finally Reported to Be Very light in the Fifth. GOOD YEtih OX THE MARTHA WEIGHT The general results in the McDonald field yesterday were surprising to a good many operators. Three wells were dropped from the list of those gushers which have been making 20 barrels an hour or more. These were the Boyal.Gas Company's No. 2 Mary Bobb, and Guftey, Murphy & Galey's Nos. 1 and 2 on the Sam Sturgeon farm, and several of the other wells which are stilt doing over 20 barrels an hour showed a heavy decline. Notwithstanding this the production was held up by Some of the wells of smaller caliber, and only dropped to 35,000 barrels, a decline or 500 barrels. During the day there, were a number of wells drilled into the sand which will, no doubt, increase the estimate for this morning. A w.ell which attracted more attention and was the subject of more comment than its neighbors yesterday was Greenlee & Forst's No. 2 on the Gladden farm. It is located about a mile southwest of McDon ald on a 45 degree line and is only 450 feet north of west from the "Wheeling Gas Com pany's No. 2 on the "W. B. Moorhead prop erty. The sand was reached in' the Glad den early yesterday morning and it instantly started off at 20 barrels an hour. It kept this gait all day, and was not drilled any deeper after it commenced to flow. The" same parties' No. 1, on this farm, is filled with junk caused by running the tools on top of a shot, and its capacity cannot be accurately gauged, although it was a small natural well in the Gordon sand, and was drv in the fifth! The result at the No. 2 Gladden will be an incentive for further operating southwest of McDonald, and al ready tjrcenice x; .corst nave ueieuuiueu iu drill two more wells on their Gladden prop erty. The "Wheeling Gas Company is still fish ing in its Nos. 2 aud 3 on the W. B. Moor head. Theaiartha Wright a Well. Tho Forest Oil Company's No. 1 on the Martha "Wright farm was drilled into the fifth sand last evening aud started off at 20 barrels an hour. This well is locatedjust east of north" from Oakdale and almost within the confines of the old McCurdy field. For several days it was a strong gasser in the Gordon, and this fact tended to interfere with the drilling. Kennedv, Gardiner & Fitzsimmons No. 5, oil the" Mertz farm, in southwest Mc Curdy, was onlv drilled one bit yesterday. It is now three bits in the sand, and yester day afternoon it made one 30-barrel flow. The pay is not expected before they are seven of eight bits in the rock. It was the intention of the owners of the Fife well to drill it into the sand yester day and preparations were made to do so, but at the last moment it was found that a new cable would be necessary and the tools were not run. This well has been showing strong from the start and has been slowly but steadily increasing. The Mark Bobb No. 1 of Guffey, Queen & J. M. Guffey was drilled a short time yes terday, and, instead of increasing, as ex pected, it declined to 18 barrels an hour. aicMnrray Well Heine Watched. Brown, Bobison & Co.'s welL on the Mc Murroy property, at Noblestown, was still surrounded by crowds of spectators and leasers yesterday who stood ankle deep in the snow and watched it from early morn ing until late in the afternoon. The, ma jority agreed that it was a good big well and was makinganywhere from 25 to 30 bar rels an hour. It was not agitated yesterday. The country to the south and south west of this well was overrun by leasers all day, each anxious to convince the doubting rustic who owned the soil that he could put a well down quicker and get more oil to the 'square inch than any other man in the State. The farmers without exception have sudde'nly assumed an air of importance and are.waiting.for the highest bidder to come along before they tie up their iarms. Greenlee & Forst secured 80 odd acres of the Marshall farm, lving a few rods south of Noblestown, for 55,000, or at the rate of about 5100 an acre. Three weeks ago Mr. Marshall could not find an oDerator who would agree to drill a well on this farm free of bonus. Now it looks as good as any in the field. Gordon OH In the Mankedlck. The "Willow Grove Oil Company's ven ture, on the Mankedick farm, located on top of the hill, about 1,500 feet southeast irom Willow Grove, is in the Gordon sand. This was the only well in the field which ever got any oil in the old Gantz sand. From this rock it filled up and ran over, some times as much as 10 or 12 barrels a day. The Gordon sand was reached early yes terday, when the well made a flow and put out from 12 to 15 barrels. At noon it put 25 barrels into the tank and almost as much more got away at the casing head. They were compelled to shut down at five feet in the sand on account of a bad bailer. The sand is soft and mushy and only partially white. Most of the oil which was thrown out at noon yesterday was that which came from the Gantz and had been standing in the well for some time and mixed with salt water. This well is located almost on a direct line from the McMurray on the northeast to the Moorhead on the southwest, and is probably a mile and a quarter from the McMurray well. F. M. Aiken & Co.'s No. 2 on the Pat terson lot at Willow Grove has been fin ished up, and is good tor 175 barrels a day. A dozen new rigs have been built south cast of Willow Grove within" as many days, and it will only be a few days more before they are rigged up and as many strings of tools running. Will Blnke a Producer. Stafford, Clark & Phillips started to drill their well on the Faraday lot in Willow Grove into the Gordon sand yesterday. For several days it has been shut down on top of this formation. "When the bit was a short distance in the rock the well began to flow, and in ten minutes it put 25 barrels of oil into the tank. Later reports from it last evening were to the effect that it was show ing for a big Gordon well. The Kyle Oil Company's No. 2 on the A. Wettengel farm back of Oakdale was finr ished up yesterday, and will make about 150 barrels a day from the fifth sand. They got 2G feet of tliis formation. Kemp & Co. shot their No. 3 on the Wade farm at McDonald in the Gordon sand yesterday. It was dry 'in the fifth, but had developed sufficient" gas in the fourth sand for a few days to almost com pletely shut off the oil which the well had been making from the Gordon. Their No. 4 on this farm is,light in the Gordon and is being drilled to the fifth. Tneir Wade No. 5 is down 1,300 feet. Boggs itCurtis shot their well in the schoolhouse reserve property at Laurel Hill yesterday. It is one of the farthest western wells at this point There was a nice response to the shot, but that was all. No flows followed, although it had not bridged over. It was being cleaned out last evening. Drllllne in the Fifth Sand. The Benner Oil Company's No. 1( on the Morgan Elliott farm, was drilling in the top of the fifth sand yesterday afternoon, but had made no flows. In the "neighboring w ells the pay was reached before the sand had been penetrated seven or eight feet, aud it is not expected in this one before that depth is attaine'd. The Oakdale Oil Company's No.,8, on the Sturgeon heirs' property, wilt be finished up Monday or Tuesday. They have started to drill No.,7 on this tarm. Bussell & McMulleu have started to drill Nos. 3 and 4 on the A. Wettengell farm. Kennedy, Fitzgibbons & Co. are down! j tw -a."- 1,800 feet in their No. 6 Mertz; and oh'the Kennedy farm tney'are drilling at 40d feet. JCemD & Co. have a rig up nnd will start to spudding in a few days on their lumber yard lot at Noblestown. The Oafcdale Oil Company has located No. 2 on the Gormley farm 400 feersouth west from the Mark Bobb No. 1. W. P.- Bend i. Co. have located No. 2on the Stuckmeycr farm. No. 1 on this prop erty is not doing oyer 20'barrels a day. Fitzgibbons & Co. have commenced build ing a rig on the Josiah Walker farm, lo cated 450 feet west of theTTife well. Gormley & Lehman are building a rig on the Academy lot at Oakdale. The Devonian Oil Company's No. 4 Elliott is making 40 barrels an honr. Their No. 5 Elliott is due to get the Gordon to day. Southwest Wildcat Well. There are a couple of wells ncaring the bottom in wildcat territory, three miles southwest of McDonald. n Knox & Co.'s No. 1, on the James Scott, is expected to get the Gordon sand to-day. There was a report last night that it was m the Gordon, filled up 1,500 feet and shnt down. This was denied by one of tho owners. The "Wheeling Gas Company's well on the W. J. Kelso farm should also bo in the Gordon to-day or Monday. ' The Grover Cleveland Oil Company's No. 1 on'the John W. Kelly farm is drilling at 400 feet. These wells are located within a radius of half a mile. There was a report last evening that the Emery Oil Company's well on the Hissen farm at Sistersville was in and making from 75 to 80 barrels a dav. While drilling a't 650 feet on the Wad dell farm in the Mtirraysvillc gas district the Gillespie brothers struck a pocket of gas, which burned the rig to the ground. The Pittsburg Oil Company's well on the Eeed farm three miles and a half southwest of McDonald, was reported last evening to be through the fifth sand and very light in that formation. They claimed to have got ten 23 feet of the fifth sand. It will be tubed and put to pumping. The Bellevue Oil Company's well on Neville Island is through the fifth sand and dry. Production and Itnns.

It having been intimated that these persons are the paid agents of the Royal -Baking Powder Company, this is to advise all concerned that this Company has no relation whatever to them, that their so-called test is a sham, and that the females are instructed and employed to perform these tricks and make false statements in all kitchens to which they can gain access, by concerns who are trying to palm off upon housekeepers an inferior brand of .baking powder through the operation of fallacious and deceptive methods. The Royal Baking Powder Company in no case employs such agents, and whenever the name of this Company is used to gain entrance to houses, the applicant, no matter how respec table in- appearance, should be regarded and treated as an jmposter.

Citizens or Stowe Township Now Believe That Good Roads Will Be a raying In vestment Dow aioney If Frittered Awny Under tho Present System. Stowc township is in a brown, stndy. A verdict was got against it the other day for 54,000 for the death of a man who lost winter was thrown from his wagon by the wheels dropping into a chuck-hole and tip ping his load of cable on him. This ver dict, too, was gotten in defiance of the fact that the attorney for the township, William A. Sipe, impressed strongly on the jury the fact that it was almost an impossibility to keep the roads in order while the oil opera tors were hauling teu-horse loads over them in wet weather. The Caughey family, on the other hand, are much dissatisfied over the award, claiming that it should have been at least twice t,000. "When it is considered that the amount of the verdict added to what was spent on that road the year before the accident occurred would have made that whole road firm enough to have carried a locomotive, some of the taxpayers sadly conclude that they were penny wise and pound foolish, for the bulk of all the travel in the township was on that road and its condition paralyzed business seven months of the year in ques tion. They, as well as many others are now convinced that it would be good policy to make the main roads absolutely good and let the sun and wind take care of the lateral roads for the time being. The road tax in Stnwe township is enor mous, and it is frittered away as in other rural districts. The road tax on Mr. Sipe's farm of 100 acres is 5G0 or thereabouts, over 50 cents an acre. That rate of taxation would make five miles of road 15 feet in width equal to the Appian way, and in ten years all the roads in the township could be built in the most approved plan, and after that taxation for road purposes would be merely nominal, while under the present svstem during the next centurv the town ship may spend 51,500,000 anil the thor oughfares be no better than they are at present OCTAVE TIIANKT writes abont cooklns cornmeal for THE DISPATCH to-morrow. LIBRARY DESIGN CRITICIZED. Colonel Culycr Says the Bnlldlnc Doesn't Unrmonlze With the Snrroandlngs. Colonel John Y. Culyer, the landscape gardener of Schcnley Park, returned to New York last evening. The Colonel is not very well pleased with the design for the Carnegie Library and in criticizing the work said: "The trouble with archi tects is that they sit in their offices and draw pretty designs for buildings without any reference to their surroundings. In this case no attention has been given to the exterior of the library and how it will har monize with the contour of the country. Back of the proposed building are the ravine and hills which will always be there. My objection to the design is that the building is not raised enough in the center. There should be a heavy tower and broken lines to match the surface of the ground. I don't believe in gimcracks and fancy tur rets. Twenty years from now the, force of my criticisms will be realized." The Colonel had been here since last Monday. He made arrangements for the spring work on the park. He thinks abont twice the progress will be made on the roads during the coming summer. He be lieves in the best, and says it pays in the long run. Colonel Culyer intends to con tribute an extensive article on road making for the new magazine 'Good Boads." He was surprised that the bill for better State roads in Pennsylvania was not passed by the last Legislature. He believes that enough is lost yearly in wear and tear on horses, harness and wagons and in hauling light loads to build first-class highways. In connection with the library building it may be stated that Mr. Carnegie will be here on Monday, and will go over the site at the entrance of the park with Chief Bigelow, James I!. Scott and other members of the commission. fe-3i fHttWMHK A Letter From a Patient Freely and Fully Answered. CATARRH THE CAUSE OF NEARLY Every Chronic Disease of tha Mucus Tract of the Body Grateful Patients Confirm the Superiority of Drs. Copsland, Hall & Byers Method of Treatment Among the many letters received by Drs. Copcland, Hall and Byers during the past few days we tako ono inquiring what catarrh is and what portions of the body It affects. Many people labor under tha mistaken idea that catarrh means simply a, discharge from thopostrils, with a hawking and spit ting of muens; but to I he observing physician, who makes a specialty of tne disease the word catarrh means more. Experience bag taught him that catarrh is by no means con fined to the head alone, but that the entire system is frequently affected by it. Tims e have: Catarrh of the nose, causing frontal head ache (more commonly known asnenralzin), a sense or dullness or drowsiness, dizziness, confusion of thoughts, etc. Catarrh of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs, causing sore thtoat, cough, hoarse ness or entire loss of voice, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, etc. Catarrh of the stomach (more commonly called dySDepsia),causinglndlgestion, heart burn, water brash, nausea, fetid oreatb, palpitation or fluttering of the heart, short ness of breath, etc Catarrh of the bladder, with its lonir list of symptoms, causing Uiabetes, Bright's Dis ease, etc Catarrh of tne bowels, causing alternate diarrhcea, and constipation, piles, etc In tact catarrh affects more or less all the mucus surfaces of the entire bociy, causing at time3 severe local or neuralgic or rheu matic pains. So when we are astced (as we often are by patient) whether we treat other diseases as well as catarrh, we answer yes. TVo Treat All Chronic Diseases because experience has taught us that nearly every chronic disease in this climate is due to a general catarrhal condition of the system, nnd in treating this condition wo cure tho disease. Our method of treatment is peculiarly adapted to this class of ailments of the en. tire mucus tract of the body, as it is both local and internnl: and each year's experi ence and successful treatment only confirms our claim that this is the only trne and ra tional mode of treatment. In thb we are borne ont by hundreds nay, thousands of testimonials from grateful patients. A NIGHT WATCHMAN'S STORY. Sincere nnd Heartfelt Statements From. Well-Known Feople The Good That Science and Skill Accomplish. In seeing patients who have been treated by Drs. Copcland, Hall and Byers, the re porter fs often emDarrassod by the enthusi astic praise that the quondam sufferer showers nponthe physicians and the indis criminating manner in which he speaks of the details of his ailment and the cure ef fected. He seems to be sodelighted over his present happy condition that he can utter nothing but expressions of gratitude, and praise, and he sums up tho sufferings of the past in general terms decidedly unsatisfac tory to the one who is after particulars. Such a patient is Mr. Cornelins Buckloy, of 24J Overhill street, this city. His condition when be went to Dr. Copcland, Hall and Byers is probably best described in his own. words: "My trouble dates back abont 20 years, when I wa? working in a grain elevator, the dust, coupled with colds, brought on a case of chronic catarrh. I had pains in my head. 0LtY' my nose would stop, one side then the other. There was a constant discharge of mucus Into my throat, causing me to hawk and spit nearly all the time. This would leave my throat in a sore anu raw couumuu. i uau a bad cough, which caused me considerable pain. My ears were involved, and I had a roaring andbuzzlng"that nearly set me wild. My hearing became dulled. I had severe pains in my chest. My whole system be camo Involved by the disease. My appetite was variable. Sometimes I conld eat a good meal, and at other times I would have a dis gust ror food. My sleep was restless, and I would get np In the morning nnrefreshed and baa no ambition. "1 was In this condition when 1 called on Drs. Copeland, Hall A Byers and placed my self under their treatment. This was sev eral months ago and the result has been that they have made a new man of me. The catarrhal symptoms are fast disappearing and I feel a"s tnough life was worth living. Drs. Copeland. Hall & Byers havo done for me what others failed to do, restored me to good health, and I am very grateful to them. 1 can nnd do cneorfully recommend them to the public" Mr. Buckloy, whoso picture and signature will be recognized above, has been In the employ of the Pennsylvania Ballroad Com panvas a night watchman for nearly U vears, and lives at !4 Overhill street.
