BRIDGE Sparks from the engine of a passing freight tram set tire to the Pennsyl vania Railroad bridge, which crosses Catawissa Creek, 011 the outskirts of that town, yesterday morning, and in the remarkably short time of eleven minute*, the entire bridge w;i> con sumed by the flames. The bridge was fir-t found to be aflame at about eleven o'clock, when eorne carpenters, working close by, noticed smoke issuing from the struc ture, aud, upon investigation, found that it was on fire. The alarm was spread as rapidly as possible and soon the Catawiss-i hire Department and a passenger engine and train crew were 011 the sceue and used every eflort that was 111 their power to extinguish the flames, but their efforts were of no avail. The tinder-like condition of the bridge, caused by the prolonged drought, coupled with the oil-soaked ties and bottom timbers, made the bridge seem like that much paper, so rapidly did tht flames carrf on its work of de struction. In a few short minutes what previously was a good, stout structure, lay in the creek a twisted and torn mass of worthless iron work. The wrecking ami work crews were called out and immediately started the work of clearing up the debris and re placing the old bridge with a tempor ary trestle work, in order to delay traffie on this division as little as pos sible. It is thought that by this morn ing trains will again run over the temporary bridge, so rapid is the progress of the workmen. AU trains between Sunbnry and Wllkesbarre were run yesterday after noon and last night by the way of Rock Glen Junction, which, although it delayed the traffic aud made the trains late on account of the long dis tance that must be traveled,facilitates the handling of the company's busi ness on S. H & W division. Dredging the River for Coal. A few enterprising citizens of Dan ville have arrived in Plymouth and starred a new enterprise. They lifted up a tug boat and will dredge the riv er aud take the coal from its bed. It will, without doubt, prove a very prof itable investment, for it will be re membered that during the recent min ers' strike several companies were or ganised in towns between Plymouth and Sunbury and they took thousands of tons ot coal from the river and ■hipped it to the large cities, where they found a ready market for it and at high prices. There is 110 reason why it should not he equally as prof itable to take coal from the river bed in Plymouth as lower down the river. Those who are m a position to know say the river bed is full of coal,which can be taken out economically. There will, 110 doubt, be a rush of pros pectors for the Susquehanna since the loitial move has now been made. Wilkesbarre Times War on the Mosquito, Determined war will be waged against the mosquito in New Jersey and on Long Island this summer. Now that science lias positively de cided that it is possible to destroy the pest, health hoards and wealthy men whose peace of minds and >kins have suffered from the insects have hand ed together for their extinction. It the plans now formed are carried out there is no douht that the mosquito will practically become merely an un pleasant memory in the localities where war is being waged against him In Hackensack.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one dollar siz- [2 1 , r' t es.

Welsh Brothers Circus, that per formed in Mount Holly on Saturday, arrived in East Burlington early yes terday morning and pitched their tents on the base ball grounds, where they will give two performances today. Only such tents as are needed for shelter were put up yesterday,as it is a rule of the managers not fo do any more work on Sunday than is absolute ly necessary, so as to give the men all the opportunity possible to obtain a much needed rest. The Welsh Brothers' Circus was organized in ISB7 and from a small be ginning has grown to one of the larg est and best shows on the road. The winter quarters are at Lancaster, Pa., where the present season opened, April 15. The performance given was one of the best of this season's tent shows.

Do You Enjoy What You Eat? You can eat whatever and whenever you like if you take Kodol. By the use of this remedy disordered digestion and diseased stomachs are so completely restored to health, and the full performance of their functions naturally, that such foods as would tie one into a double-bow knot are eaten without even a "rumbling" and with a posi tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what is more these foods are assimilated and transformed into the kind of nutriment that is appropriated by the blood and tissues. Kodol is the only digestant or combination of digestants that will digest all classes of food. In addition to this fact, it contains, in assimilative form, the greatest known tonic and reconstructive properties. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all disorders arising therefrom.

June B.—The greatest strain lias passed and if the precautions against lire continue as effective as tliey have been the in dustrial revival will continue apace. The lack of water is still the most serious question. Gas for fuel and lighting seems ad equate. A partial street car system is in operaion and the phenomenal good order which has prevailed continues untiloken. There have lieeu fewer ar rests here since last Friday than there would have been under normal eondi (ions. No further loss of life by the flood is expected, anil the relief work tor the destitute is well in hand. Business men are adapting themselves remaikahlv to the changed condit ions. The Twenty-second stret t station, the only depot in the city iu use. is a hive of industry. The expiess offices have established themselves in the vicinity The packers, dealers in ngricultui.il implements,wholesale merchants from the flooded district, are opening up town executive offices. Mauling water to what plants are in operation is fair ly well systematized. The determina tion of the bodies authorized to speak for the city not to ask for tho outside j aid meets with universal approval. The baggage in the flooded union de pot baggage room lias been carted up town and is being rapidly taken away. | The postoffice is swamped by mail, I both in an 1 out. There were two mail i deliveries today. A regular boat service is in opera tion to Kansas City, Kan. Conditions there are improving hourly. There is j plenty of food now that the packing house coolers can be reached,and with regular tiain service to Fort Leaven worth danger from famine has passed. The lawless element is completely under control. Over a million and a quarter in cash and sight exchange is in the vaults of the Interstate Nation al bank in the west bottoms of Kansas City, and it is reasonable to estimate that another million in cash is in the flooded safes of smaller banks, express companies, railroad offices, stock yard firms and merchants. The only boats in the floloded district are under the control of the police. REDUCED RATES TO LAKEWOOD N. Y. Via Pennsylvania Railroad, Account Meet ing General Secretaries Y. M. 0. A.
