A Co., met with Instantaneous death yes terday afternoon shortly before 3 o'clock. The unfortunate young man who is single and without relatives in this country was attending to some matters about the grinders when tin; grime reaper made its harvest. His clothing was caught in a revolv ing shaft and the helpless form was dashed to eternity before the machinery could be stopped.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to bo incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescrib ed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pro nounced it incurable. Science lias proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitu tional treatment. Hall's ('atari b (Jure, manufactured by F. J.

I'liiludolpliinnrt Fought for PoMseMhiou of a Shaded/Alloy. From Yesterday's Philadelphia Times. It is safe to say that there wero many persons, usually regarded as law-abid ing, who yesterday wished that they could use a weapon of some sort upon acquaintances assailing them with, "Is it hot enough for you?" and the like. There was one who went further than merely to" look daggers. Ho is Peter Markowisky, of 125 Church street, whose ire was aroused by Edward Thomas, his next-door neighbor. There lias long lioon a dispute between tliein as to who has the more right to an alleyway be tween their houses, and when Thomas came homo early yesterday morning, tnd found that Markowisky had turned the disputed territory into a sleeping place he decided to enter a formal re monstrance. This took the shape of two kicks, and the question, "Ain't it cool enough for you in the house?" Peter sprang upon ids assailant, who pulled out a knife, and tried to plunge it into him. Manag ing to get awav for an instant Peter got a big fork from the edge of a table close to one of t he front windows of his house. Then a duel began that ended in the de feat of Markowisky. who fell upon the pavement with a wound in his right side. Thomas, whose scalp had been torn up. by Peter's fork, ran down the street into the anus of Policeman Kennedy. Tho inhabitants of tho thickly-popu lated street had been aroused, and it re quired a good deal of very vehement diplomacy by the blue-coat to keep the adherents of tin- house of Markowisky from attacking those of the house of Thomas. The rudely awakened man was taken to the Pennsylvania hospital, where he remains in a serious condition. Thomas was held in ssou bail for a hear ing. Fatal Powder Fx plosion.

Joseph Bevan, a minor, had just taken the powder out of the keg, made a cart ridge and walked up to the heading to lire it off, when young Itamrick came in asked (lerbski for some oil. Tho two wont to the tool chest to get it. (lerbski was leaning over and a spark from his lamp dropped into the open keg, caus ing a terrific explosion, which hurled the two back and burned them in a frightful manner, liamrlck was remov ed to the home of his parents and Gerb ski was taken to Wilkesbarre hospital.
