? t BONES OF COLUMBUS. They Are iii a Box in the Cathedral at San Domingo. FALSE IMPRESSION CORRECTED. A Fitlslnrg Man Who Saw and Touched the Discoverer's Dust. A FATHER SLICK TRICK WAS PRACTICED J. C Jamison, of East Liberty, is prob ablv the only man in tbe United States who ever saw and handled the bones of Christopher Columbus. He was in the "West Indies in the winter of 1878-79. History has held tl.at the bones of the great discoverer were buried and still lie in Havana, Cuba. The truth is they are still in the Island of San Domingo. Christopher Columbus died and was buried in Spain in 1506. His son, Don Dieso, died in 132G. In the year 1536 the remains of both Jather and son were trans ported to the Island of San Domingo and interred in the Cathedral ot that city. During the last three centuries that island ha been the scene of almost constant revo lution and bloodshed. Few of the records of government have been preserved. The population sank into ignorance and super stition and all knowledge of past history became traditional. But it was never for gotten that Ssn Domingo City was the last resting place of the bones of Columbus. It had, however, been forgotten that the re mains of his son were also buried under the altar of the cathedral. Tho Wrong Bones Removed. TVhen Spain relinquished control of the island and came to remove the bones of Columbus to Havana, through some mistake they took up the wrong remains, the re mains of the son, which were removed with great pomp and buried at Havana as tbe body of the discoverer of America. The mistake was discovered in 1878, when it became necessary to make some, altera tions in the old cathedral. The workmen came upon a lead box, which being opened and examined was found to contain the re mains of Christopher Columbus, from the inscriptions on the box and the name on the silver plate inside of the lid. The Dominican authorities at once sum moned all the resident Consuls to examine the matter, and they unanimously gave it as their opinion that the box contained the bones of the dead discoverer. The box was then closed up and each Consul put his seal upon it It was then put for safe keeping into the bands of the Bishop of the cathedral. Jamison Handled tbe Bones. In January, 1879, an Italian war vessel arrived in the port with instructions from the Italian Government to investigate the matter, as Columbus was a native ot Italy. The several Consuls were summoned to break their seals and open the box to afford an opportunity for the fullest investigation. By invitation'of the United States Consul, J.'C Jamison, of this city, was present, and made a personal inspection of the box and bones, and had in his hands the silver plate on which was engraved in Spanish the name ot Christopher Columbus. The box is about 16 inches lonir and 10 square. One was made of heavy sheet lead. It bears tbe marks of great antiquity. The remains had moulded into dust As Columbus had been buried 30 years before his remains were removed to San Domingo it can easily be seen a box of this size would hold the re mains. Tradition has it that when the Spaniards came to take away the body of Columbus a sly old monk gave them a pointer to the IMMENSE AGATE AND GRANITE WARE SALE! EVERYTHING FRESH AND NEW!

TJnioxtowjt, Oct 19. ISpeeidW A. special examination of the building and loan associations of this part of tbe State is now being made by Special Agent N. C. Smith of the United States Department of Labor. In an interview with The Dis patcii correspondent to-day Mr. Smith said: "This examination is made chiefly in the interests of the workingmen, as the laboring classes are largely interested in j these associations." for investigating the local associations Mr. Smith said: "I can't answer that question. We simply get department orders to make the investigation without being told why It is made. This investigation will be ex tended to all the States. We started on Pennsylvania, I presume, because there are more laboring men interested in such asso ciations than anywhere else." Fatally Sbot by Burglars. Wilkesbabbe, Oct 19.

( MoKInnie & Chessman Tf 'g Co., Pitts burg, Pa, Gentlemen: Allow me to speak a wort of praise for your Bheumacura. Last November I became afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism and was troubled with it during all of last winter. I tried every cure that was recommended, bnt ob tained no relief. After having been confined to my bed I became perfectly helpless and for nearly nine weeks I suffered severely. Finally a friend of mine who bad heard or your Bheumaoura advised me to try It. I sent to you for one bottle, as It could not at that time be had here, and when I began to take It I felt tne good results from almost tho first dose, and In less than 34 hours I had relief, and before I bad taken the en tire bottle I was able to take my situation again, whloh was just about one week from the time I began using Rheumacura, and In order to make a sure enre I sent for tho seoond bottle and have not felt tbe rheuma tism since. As a result, three of our drug gists are now selling the medicine, and I have been instrumental In selling a great many bottles. I consider It the most valuable medicine ever placed before the publio for tbe cure of rheumatism, and anyone suffering from It should not hesitate one moment In trying It.
