Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Susquehanna, July 13. Of three goats
born In Brandt two nro perfectly na
tural, but tho other Is not so fortunate.
Its "body Is natural except tho head.
which 1b double. It has four eyes, two
mouths, two tongues. Its cars are set
back farther than usual. "While nil
regularly-formed goats have no upper
teeth, only a hard gum, this one h'as a
set In the upper Jaw of each head, mak
ing It have four seats of teeth. In the
middle of tho two heads there Is one
eye socket, with two eye balls. Tho
mother actually disowns It, pays no
attention, and seems to be perfectly
oblivious of tho fact that It la her off
spring. A QUEER SPECIMEN, THIS.
A peculiar looking reptile was a few
days since captured near Windsor. It
Is about three feet long, of a yellow
striped color, but had scales all over Its
body, like a. fish. Its eyes are exceed
ingly small, and an Investigation of Its
mouth showed an entire absence of
fangs, but Instead small, fish-like
teeth. When placed on dry land it
squirmed and twisted about, but could
not crawl like a snake. The conclusion
of all who have seen It Is that It Is a
hybrid half snake and half fish'. Noth
ing like ft has ever been seen before in
this section, and the oldest Inhabitants
never knew that the waters of tho
Susquehanna contained such a speel'
men of the reptile creation.

QUICKSAND CAUSES CAVE.
Two Hundred I'cct of WilLes-IIarrc's
Common Sinking.
Wllkcs-Barre. July 13. Says the
Times: The river bank near North
ampton street, which has been settling
for the ptst three weeks, is still slight
ly sinking but It Is believed the set
tling will soon cease. The cave extends
for a dlbtanco of about-200 feet from In
front of the corner of River and North
ampton toward Market street. The
depth of tho Bimken part varies great
ly and In the centre, the deepest por
tion, it is about four feet. The cave
has an average width of about fifteen
or elgliteen feet. The city authorities
have fenced in the caved portion by
means of ropes and stakes and are hav
ing the hele filled in with dirt.
Discussions are rife as to the cause
of the sinking. Those who claim to
know say that underlying the river
common there Is a stratum of quick
sand and that the water from the rier
soaks in, and, mixing with the quick
sand, forms a floating body. This mix
ture of water and quicksand, they say,
recedes Into the river thus making a
vacuum under tho bank and hence tho
sinking. About tho year 1857 there wa3
a sinking of the bank much similar to
the present one.

womb.
Tho doctor wanted mo to tako treat
ments, but I had just begun taking
Mrs. Pinkharn's
Compound, and
my husband
said I had
bettor wait
and see
how much
good that
would do
me. I was
bo sick when I
began with hor
medicine, I could
hardly bo on my
feot. I had tho
backache con
stantly, also headache, and
was so dizzy. I had henrt trouble, It
seemed as though my heart was In my
throat at times choking mo. I could
not wnlk around and I could not lio
down, for then my heart would heat so
fast I would feel as though I was
smothering. I had to sit up in bed
nights in order to breathe. I was so
weak I could not do anything.
I 4iavo now taken several bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Com

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Stroet Review.
New York, July 13. In tho stock mar
ket today the coalers easily responded
with a rise extending to per cent, to tho
Lehigh Valley's election, of officers anj di
rectors known to bo acceptable to tho
controlling lntTcsts In other anthracite
properties and to tho harmony in opera
tion expected to result. The Judicial In
terruption of tho proposed Inquiry Into the
anthracite trade under the anti-trust law
enacted by tho last New York ,glslattiro
not only had a good effect on the coalerr,
but strengthened tho whole Industrial
group. Today's Washington rumors con
tinued favorable to tho refining Interests
and to the effect that a compromiso sugar
schedule pleasing to tho company wquM
likely bo agreed upon by tho conference.
Tho result was that sugar scored an
other high record price touching 137, or
nearly 2 points above yesteday's close and
over 3 points above the loftiest prico pre
viously which was 134'J. The announce
ment of the failure of a broker house
which was on tho wrong side of the suear
market caused a reaction In tho market
which carried prices Benora'ly a fraction
below last night's close. Tho fluctua
tions in Sug-ar were most erratic and
widely attended by heavy covering of
shorts. Hesitation ensued and then thero
was Increased activity and strength. The
transaction In the stock, comprised a
fourth of the total transactions In all
stocks, over 79,000 shares being fcold. Af
ter a momentary decline at tho opening
tho stock sold up 2 abovo yesterday's
close, reacted 2V4 and then oartly re
covered, closing at a point advance over
yesterday. Chicago Gas ruled strong on
favorablo Chlcajro dispatches. The clos
ing was strong and generally at beat
prices which wero a fraction above yes
terday's close. Tho total sales of stocks
today were 302.C5S shares.

JUAN'S PRECAUTION.
From tho Argonaut.
In the Brazilian hotels men are em
ployed to do the chamber work, and they
are prone to rush Into the bedrooms of
the guests when occasion requires with
out knocking. A prim llttlo Yankeo
"schoolmarm" visiting Rio do Janeiro
was much annoyed at this custom, and,
after mildly protesting several times
without effect, she said severely to tho
boy who did the work In her room:
"Juan, be good enough to understand
that I will not allow you to open tho
door of my room without knocking. If
you do It again I shall certainly report
you at the office. Why, I might be dress-
ln(?!"
"No danger of that, senora," responded
Juan In his best English; "before I como
In I always look mo through the key
hole." n
A Gentle Hint.
From Up-to-Dato.
DtQuIll I have resolved to launch upon
a literary carter.
Dt-Lush Glad to hear It. Of course,
you know at every launching It Is cus
tomary to crack a bottle of wine.
Strong
Nerves just as surely como tram the use o(
Hood's Sarsoparilla as docs the cure of
scrofula, salt rheum, or other so-called
blood diseases. This is simply becauso
the blood affocts the condition of all tho
Nerves
bones, muscles and tissues. If it is Im
pure it cannot properly sustain these
parts. If made pure, rich, red and vital
ized by Hood's Sarsaparilla, it carries
health instead of disease, and repairs the
worn, nervous systom as nothing else can
do. Thus nervous prostration, nysteria,
neuralgia, heart palpitation, are cured by
Hood's
Sarsaparilla
Because it Is the One True Dlood Purifier,
