Fast Travel.
We sometimes think thnt tho ligliluitiR
trains on our principal railroads are inn
at too high spood for safety, but facts have
recently come to light which lerve to show
that In tho matter of fnst going we are
very much behind the English, Thus,
eight trains run daily from King's Cross
to Qrnntham, 105J miles,' without a stop
mid without picking up water, in 1-3 and
128 minutes each. Anothor accomplishes
73 miles In 77 minutes, or about 60.88
miles per hour. Mention is also made of
other quick tiaind, nearly all of which
throw tho Ameiicnns completely in the
shade.
Rut this will not long be the case,for our
great companies, not content with getting
along comfortably and safely at forty miles
an hour, are becoming envious of these
nimblo-wheeled engines and are putting
their energies to work for the purpose of
ascertaining whether they too cannot trans
port trains at the rate of a mile a minute,
for one hncdred miles or more at a single
stretch. If this can be aocomplished there
will be no lack of riders, for if there is
anything on American loves above all
others it is to go with lightning speed,
veu though every mile of. track lid Jen
oVer is fraught with imminent danger.
Look out now for trains that will cause the
quick moving English locomotives to hide
their diminished heads.

Singular Conduct of a Woman.
William Emerich resides at the corner of
Liberty street and Myrtle avenue. He is a
moulder by trade, works at the Sree1
works, is married and the father of two
-children, aged respectively three years and
eight months, the latter little one unwean
ed. Yesterday morning he went to work
as usual, and last evening when he return
ed he was astounded to find his home lock
ed, and bis wife and family gone. On
entering the bouse he was more surprised
to find that some of the furniture was gone,
notably a sewing machine, eto. He learn
ed from people in the vicinity that after he
Iiad gone to work his wife had disposed of
the missing furniture, sent the oldest child
to her mother's home and the youngest
child to his mother's home, and borrowing
trunk had packed in it some worldly
goods and lit out. She told some of the
neighbors she was going to Lancaster and
did not intend to return. The whole
affair is surrounded in mystery. Mr. Emer
ich says there is no reason for this strange
action. Mrs. Emerioh's father started Jin
pursuit of the fugitive. The affair has
caused the greatest excitement in Liberty
street where the parties resided. Harris.

Damage by Water.
Richmond, Va., AuguBt 81. This city
was visited last night by one of the fiercest
storms ever known in this section. For
two hours rain fell in torrents, accompan
ied by almost incessant 'thunder and light
ning. The rush of water in the streets
was so great that Shockee creek, in the
lower part of the city, was swollen to an
angry torrent, which overflowed its banks
and flooded the whole vicinity. Many
cellars were filled with water, and buildings
bordering on the creek inundated. The
occupants of the buildings were mostly
colored. The flood came upon them so
unexpectedly they being awakened by the
rush of water into their houses that it
was with the greatest difficulty they wero
rescued. The scene in the neigborhood of
the swollen stieam was terrible. Women
acd children were seen at windows hold
ing lamps and rcreaming for help. The
night was pitch dark, and often cries were
heard from points where no one could be
seen. Men were wading about in the
water trying to save life while they saw
their worldly goods swept away.
The Burning Mine.
Shekasdoah, IV, September 1. This
afternoon George Ormrad, Superintendent
of the Keelcy Run Colliery ; William
Hemmingary, inside boss ; Thomas Baird,
assistant ; James F. Jones, mining engin
eer ; Simon Gregory, inside boss of the old
alope of the colliery, and two carpenters
named Molse Beck and David Lingham,
descended into the mine for the purpose of
putting, a door in the main battery and to
see what progress the steam which is being
injected into the mine was making on the
fire in the breasts. When the work for
the door was neaily completed a fall of
eirth occurred, causing a concussion which
blew the men in all directions. Gregory
was killed, Oirfirad had bis leg broken and
Jones an aim, and all the others being se
verely burued by the steam. Gregory's
body was blown a considerable distance
and has not been recovered, and the black
damp being so bad that the miners cannot
venture far without being overcome by it.

DR. 0. P. BOLLINGER,
Having located permanently In
NEW BLOOMFIELD,
Offers tils professional services to the citizens of
the Borough and surrounding country.
Dr. R. has been engaged In an extensive prac
tlce for over 28 years. He has also served his
country in the capacity of Burgeon to the 78th
Pa. Vol. Infantry during the late Rebellion,
holding his Commission from the then Governor
ot this Commonwealth. His credentials are from
one of the best Medical Colleges in America.
His success as a practitioner of medicine Is ac
knowledged by recommendations from former
patrons, which are free for inspection at all
times.
IN TIIE TREATMENT OF
Chronic Diseases
he has had very extensive experlence.and hascured
many hopeless cases, alter years of suffering, and
expense lucurred iu seekiug relief elsewhere.
Among the many chronic complain-s treated
successfully are Asthma, Bronchitis, Laryngitis,
Hemorrhage of the Lungs, Consumption, (first
and second stages.) Heart Disease, Dyspepsia
Liver Complaint, Melancholia, Scrofula or King's
Evil, Skin Diseases. Chronic Rheumatism, Goitre,
or enlargement of the Glands of the neck. Dropsy.
Piles, chronic Dlarrhaa,Constipatlon of the Bow.
els. Sick and Nervous Headache, Neuralgia,
Diseases of Females. Tumors, Kidney Diseases,
Knlarped Spleen. Epilepsy, Deafness, Chronic
Chills and Ague. Diabetes Mellltus, old running
sores. Tapeworms removed.
Dr. B. does not confine himself to any one par
ticular system of medicine. He uses all the Tate
Improved met hods and remedies, as also Magneto
Electric, or
Motlicnl Klectriclty,
which Is so successfully used at the present dav
lu many forms of nervous complaints. In the
treatment of the Lungs and air passages he uses
INHALATIONS,
which carries the medicine direct to the diseased
parts. '
When an Incurable case presents Itself he Is
free and candid In telling the patient that he can
not cure linn, thus avoiding further expense.
In chronic nffmenfslt Is always best for patients
to call at his office for personal examination and
treatment, when that Is practicable.
