WRECKS AND SMALLPOX.
That is What the Officials of the Lehigh
Road Have to Contend With.
If the long Lehigh strike continues an
organized effort will have to be made to
feed hundreds of miners and their families.
Many are already suffering from hunger.
There is nochange in the strike situation.
The company will get rid of the incom-
petent helpas fast as possible. They are
causing a great deal of trouble and much
loss to the company. In one day no less
than five wrecks were reported between
‘White Haven and Wllkesbarre. The first
occurred at North Wilkesbarre
A freight train leaving Wilkesbarre about
midnight remained intact until it reached
a place near the Conynghan coal breaker,
where the last two cars parted from the
train. ‘This escaped the notice of the crew.
The train sped on and left thetwo cars
standing on the main line,
Passenger train 19 due to leave at 1:40 p.
m., did not leave until about 5 o'clock. Go-
ing atgood spead it crashed into the
two freight cars. The engine. with the two
cars, were wrecked completely and the fire-
man severely injured. The road curves at
that place very much and the cars could not
be seen.
Soon afier1 o'clock engine 394 stopped at
Gracedale 10 take water. Engine 402 came
along running at the rate of 25 miles an
hour and crashed into the caboose attached
to 394. Two brakemen whose names
were Nelson and McCabe were instantly
killed, The cabo s2 caught tire and the
body of one of the men was burned up.
A dispatch from Somerville, N. J.. says:
A terrible wreck occurred near Bloomsburg
station, on the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
which blocked both tracks andby which the
life of another green trainmen was sacrific-
ed. The engineer of a heavily loaded coal
train goiny east got orders at Bloomsburg
station to take siding for a fast east-bound
express.
The express passed and Joe Johnson one of
the green brakemen, ran ahead of the train
toopen theswitch. He did this, at thesame
time throwing the croisover theswitch
leading from the east to the westbound track.
He then attempted to get on the engine,
when he was thrown under the wheels and
instautly killed.
The coal engine was half way acrcss on
the westbound track when a heavy west
bound coal train came rushing down the
steep grade at this point and plunged into
it. Both engineers jumped and saved their
lives. The engines came together with a
fearful crash and both of them are a total
wreck, (oal cars are piled up in heaps,
blocking both tracks.
It is said that smallpox has broken out
in the barracks at Phillipsburg, where the
men now working on the Valley are quar-
tered.

the Order in the Past.
In a letter 1c the New York World, re-
viewing the history of the Knights of Labor
Ex-General Master Workman T. V.Powder-
1y writes as foilows concerning the order:
In no way has the order of the Knights of
Labor accomplished so much good as in the
education of the citizen in b's rights and
duties. The strike is a relic of a bygone bar-
baric age. It had its origin thousands of
years ago when the striker was a warrior
who took to the tield when the strike began.
It bas survis ed becanse men have not fuliy
considered or careiu'ly studied the condinon
oftheir neighbors. So intricet=ly are our n-
teresis interwoyen that no strike of any
importance can bo entered upon without
inkicting injury on others not directly con-
cerned in the controversy.
Of the results of the ‘session just closed
and passing into bistory the friends of the
order cannot uul € itér an apy r-hension
and misgivings. lute proceedings nave been
characlerizeu by a somewhat reckless disre-
gard for law, rule, precedent and experi-
ence. That apprehension of the condition
ol our members in isolated sections of the
country which-so particularly marked the
deliberations of preceding sessions of the
General Assenub y was jumentably absent
from the session of 1843. Boycotts without
number were levied without care, deiibera-
tion or thought of future consequences.
Long-established customs and usages have
been lightly sct aside. “he wishes of local
assemblies were disregarded in transferring
them from one jurisdiction to another.
Ta ing it altogether the dignity and d:co-
rum which prevailed in other sessions of
the body could be recalled in painful con-
trast with this. Could the rank and file of
the order have occupied positions where
they could witness the acts of the jrepresen-
tatives they would certainly disapprove of
their methods oi enacting icgislation asiwell
as of the legisl tion 1tse.f,
It is not iu its General Assembly that “the
Order of Knights of Labor 1s strongest; we
must search for its real sirength and energy
in the hearts of its members and their de-
votion to its principles. In the acts of the
officers just emering upon their duties we
will find cause tor sejoicing or sorrow, as
they are successful or otherwise. They have
before thems no light or pleasant task and
will require the confidence and inspiring
aid of the whole membership.

REMARKABLE SURGERY.
A Broken Back Straightened and the
Patient Will Recover.
Mary Hocker, 23 years cld, a domestic in
the family of Mrs. A. I. Doll, who oceu-
pies a third story flat on West Seventeenth
street, New York, fell through the dumb
waiter shaft to the cellar, a distance of 45
feet, and had her back broken. She is now
at the Polyclinic hospital. Her back was
broken and she was otherwise terrible
bruised, but she will not probably die, ow-
ing to the extraordinary o eration which
was performed upon her by Dr. Robert H.
M. Dawbarn, professor of surgery at the
Polyclinic hospital, and who happened to
be in the house wherethe accident occur-
red.
When taken to the operating room it was
found that the tenth, eleventh and twelfth
dorsal vertebrae were fractured and thather
whole body was badly bruised. Pieces of
the fractured bone were pressing on the
spinal cords, causing paralysis ofthe lower
limbs. The operation, which lasted about
three hours, consisted in cutting away por-
tions of the broken bones, elevating the
backbone and cleaning out the debris. Then
the entire body was put up 1n plaster. Dur-
ing this delicate operation Dr.Dawbarn and
his assistants expected the girl to die in
their hands. The docter thinks that the
girl will live.

Danger.
Because of the peculiar significance
which now attaches to the word
“temperance,” we should not forget
that “Every man that striveth for
the mastery is temperate in all
things,” and that it is just as bind-
ing on us to show moderation in our
use of the necessities of life as in our
use of its luxuries. Even the neces-
sities of life may become superflui-
ties through their quantity and qual-
ity being raised to the point of lux-
ury. Take, for example, the food-
supply of the body.
1t is obvious that the body must
have rich, force-supplying food in
order to carry on its daily tasks. Yet
Lhe fact is often lost sight of that an
gver supply of food to the body, like
overcoaling the steam engine, is pro-
ductive of nothing but waste. More
steam is made than can be used.
Nor is this all. In such a finely
adjusted machine as the human body
no one piece of the complex organism
can be overworked except at the
ultimate expense of tbe rest.
Not only are we inflicting the
stomach with an unnecessary amount
of work when we crowd it with food,
but we are to the same extent im-
posing upon the other organs. As a
matter of fact, it is the liver which
generally gets the brunt of the extra
burden, though the heart and kid-
neys are also affected to a greater or
less degree.
Among the disorders caused by
this superfluous condition are h&mor-
rhoids or bleeding piles.
To ascertain the proper proportion
between the demand and supply of
the body, cone must consider not only
the peculiar needs of. each person,
but the season of the year. Heat is
the unit of force in the body; but
while force-supplying food may be as
necessary in summer as in winter,
the need for fats, or hydro-carbons,
as they are called, to maintain the
bodily heat is by no means so urgent.
For one who is properly familiar
with the resources of his own body,
and who is not blinded by appetite,
it is comparatively easy to discover,
to a remarkable degree of nicety, the
amount and kind of food which his

less expenditure, by more promptly

the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
art to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and

profession, because it acts on the Kid-

ening them and it ic perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.

“August
Flower”
‘“ For two years I suffered terribly |
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec-
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. Itseem-
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me.”’
