NEWS or \ JmAILRO/qpS ) FREIGHT EMBARGO HITS LOCAL YARDS Orders Prohibit All Freight From Connecting Lines; Cars Tied Up Facing the possibility of being swamped with freight, now that many of the trunk line railroads entering Kew York have prohibited shipments varying all the way from special prod ucts to a complete embargo, the Penn sylvania Railroad yesterday placed an embargo on all freight originating on connecting lines and destined for the New York district. The order includes Harrlsburg , Enola and Marysvllte, where shipments are classified. The embargo exempts freight origi nating from points directly on the Pennsylvania railroad, the Philadel phia, Baltimore and Washington and the West Jersey and Seashore railroad, likewise It makes an exception of cer tain classes of perishable freight. Kxcept for a few commodities, the order prevents the carriage of all ship ments coming from other roads, whether handled for export or New York city. Exceptions have been made in the case of livestock, dressed meats, flour and foodstuffs for local consump tion. coal for delivery at Harsimus Cove. N. J., and coal for public service corporations. Cars Tied Up Figures showing the actual number of cars with goods for export tied up awaiting movement, based on con ditions yesterday morning, gave a total of 5,775 cars. This is a decrease of 371 cars, compared with the previous 24 hours. Of these cars 2,311 are stored between Philadelphia and New York, an Increase of 70: 3,464 are on sidings on the various divisions, a de crease of 441 over Sunday. The Penn sylvania unloaded at New York on Sunday 85 cars for export. The Philadelphia and Reading Rail way announced yesterday that it had levied no embargoes further than that on export grain through the port of Philadelphia, which was put into effect some days ago. The local situation, it was said at the offices, was in no way serious. Plenty of steamships to move the grain accumulations are either in port or destined to arrive shortly. RAILROAD NOTES Another assignment of Philadelphia division passes was made to-day. The large siding of the Pennsyl vania Railroad at Duncannon used for unloading cars is now doing service as a storage siding. An alarm clock, shaving outfit and other articles await identification at the police department of the Pennsyl vania Railroad. They were taken from Thomas Jenkins, who is being held as a pusnect. Lucknow Shopmen Held on Brass Theft Charges Three employes of the Lucknow shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad have been held for court on a charge of larceny. They are John Gibboney, George Nagle and Samuel Fisher. These men are charged with stealing brass. It Is the belief that the thefts have been carried on for three years. The men, it is said, srtld the brass to lsraol Levitt. 1106 North Seventh street, who is charged with receiving stolen Roods. Captain Barclay, head of the railroad police department, made the arrest. He has been on the case for some time. The oases were heard last night. by George A. Hoverter, al derman of the Ninth ward.

KKCOMMEND "GUII/TY BUT INSANK" FOR "NOT GIII/TY" By Associated Press New York, Dec. 14.—Substitution of the verdict "Guilty, but insane," for the verdict of not guilty, rendered by juries in cases where insane persons have committed crimes, is recom mended by a committee of the Society of Medcal Jurisprudence in a report to that body. For Acid Stomachs Use Magnesia The almost universal use of mag nesia by physicians and specialists in the treatment of stomach troubles in due to the fact that It neutralizes thw excessive acid and thus stops food fer mentation the direct cause of near ly all stomach trouble. Of the many forms of magnesia such as oxides, citrates, carbonates, sulphates, etc., ths one now supplied In either powder or tablet form and especially recommend ed for acid stomachs Is hlsnraled mag nesia, a tcaspoonful of which in a lit tle warm water Immediately after eat ing will Instantly neutralize the ex cessive acid, stop fermentation, and thus ensure painless normal digestion. Be sure to get blsurated magnesia rathor than any other magnesia, as this form Is prepared especially for thi* treatment of acid stomachs. The live grain tablets are the most convenient: for physicians and travelers to carrjr and two tablets are equivalent to a teaspoonful of the powder. Take two of the tablets (with or without water* or a teaspoonful of the powder in a quarter of a glass of water after each meal. Stomach sufferers and dyspep tics who follow this plan and avoid tn» use of pepsin, charcoal, soda mints, drugs and medicines are astonished to find that the stomach, relieved of th« irritating acid and gas, soon regains Its normal tone, and can do its work alone without the doubtful aid of arti ficial digestants.—Advertisement. 3
