Berlin & Co., Attorneys Le Droit Building, writes “Ihave used Brown’s Iron Bitters for malaria and nervous troubles, caused by overwork, with excellent results,” J. A LOCHTE, 107 H street northwest, says: “Ihave used Brown's Iron Bitters for bilious in- termittent fever, and after three doses was able to leave my bed. Iwas cured in three days’and haven't been troubled since, Everything else I tried seemed to do harm instead of good.”” ¥. 1 THOMPSON, 1821 Wiltberger street N. W., says: “T had pains in my beck, breast and sides so badly that I could not walk. Brown's Iron Bitters Telieved me in 26 hours so that I was able togo to work. Ihave also used itin my family with the best results.” JOHN H. WALKER, Alexandria, Vs., says: “I was entirely cured of dyspepsia by using only one bottle of Brown's Iron Bitters. I most heartily recomend it,” JAS. H. SPRINGMAN, 606 B street 8. E., says: “Have used Brown's Iron Bitters and received much benefit fromit. Asa tonic it cannot be ex- celled.” W. C. HUNTER, 904 224 street N. W.. says: “When run down by hard work and malaris hhave never found anything that did me as much 001 as Brown's Iron Bitters. It made me feel like & new man, I have recommended it to many friends.” & LEMUEL ERGOOD, the well-known grocer, 1408 14th street N. W., says: ‘T have used three bottles of Brown's Iron Bit- ters for dyspepsia, and haye been completely cured.” Mrs. E. CROFT, 1114 F street N. E., 8a: “I was so nervous T could hardly hold anything inimy hands, I took five bottles of Brown's Iron Bitters and my nerves are now stronger and I feel better in every way. Rev. OWEN DAWSON, 1023 2ist street N. W., says: “Being a sufferer from dyspepsia I was induced to try Brown's Iron Bitters, I have taken five bottles and am entirely cured.” J.P.

New Yore, August 9—A large-sized trunk, marked “Dr. d. G. Hunt, 1802 Wallace street, Phila- delphia,” supposed to contain the dead boty of a human” being, 18 now lying on a truck in the recelving baggage room of the Pennsylvania Railroad depot, at the foot of Cortland street. ‘The New York’ Transfer company took the trunk from the Fall River boat this morning, giving a receipt check No. 42, which is now upon the trunk. ‘The trunk was delivered to the baggaj man at Cortland street ferry at 11 o'clock, and It was not until half an hour later that the railroad officials became suspicious of there being a body inside of it A terribie stench pervaded the alr, and upon investigation It was found to come from the trunk, which was covered with flies swarming about It ahd creeping out of the cracks of the cover. In moving or Joiting the trunk the odor was fright- ful and no ‘one could be induced to touch it until the stench had subsided. Officer Henry, of the steamboat squad,was iminediately notified and a report was telegraphed tc Captain Gastlin and also to the board of health. Noone at the depot had any authority to open the trunk and it was therefore placed on a truck alone and wheeled inot the center of the ‘baggage-room. At 2 o'clock no one hat called to identify the baggage and the oMlclals were carefully watching tt. Mr. Blaine at Bar Harbor.

The officers at both the War and Navy department deny it. Admiral Nichols said there was not a syllable of truth in it. It was absolutely false; there had never been an intimation that there’ was ever an approach to Such a thing. ‘The story, he said, was a base in- vention. OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE CHOLERA.—Sccretary Frelinghuysen has received a dispatch from Mr. Frank H. Mason, U.;8. consul at Marseilles, France, in relation to the cholera epidemic in that place and Toulon. It does not differ essentially from the Teport submitted by him some weeks ago, and brings out no new facts cconcerning the epl- demic. In closing iis Teport’ the consul speaks of two vessels, the French steamer Brittanla and the Itallan bark Rosalia, sailing from Marseilles to- morrow for New York. ‘Their condition was good, and no danger was apprehended trom them, a$ they would be from thirty-five to fifty days in mak- Ang the voyage. STARVING INDIANS.—At the Indian bureau the re- Ports of Plegan Indians starving at the Blackfeet agency 18 not credited. Commissioner Price 13 ab- sent, but his secretary told a Srar_ reporter to-day that several months ago the agent reported desti- tution among the Piegans, He was authorized to purchase provisions in the open market to supply the demand, but in spite of that there was a great dgal of suffering. Since the last report of suffering the agent has not been heard from, and therefore the bureau has no recent official information in re- ard lo the condition of these Indians. At the In- ian office the suffering is charged upon Congress, Decause it refused to appropriate money enough. for the Indians. Ligut. Commanper T. F. Goopricn has been ordered to duty as inspector of ordnance at Wash- ington navy yard. ° Carr. Jas A. Grier has been detached from the Washington navy yard and placed on waiting orders.

Craig, who was sent to Key West by the owners of the schooner Julia Baker to bring her to ‘New York, telegraphed yesterday that this could not be done unless the deputy collector received authority from Washington to release her from. seisure. The owners immediately communicated with the Secretary of the Treasury, giving a brief history of the case and asking that the vessel be released, on the d that any irregularity that had occurred had not been the fault of the vessel ‘or owners. The sudden and mysterious death of Capt. Lewis 4s receiving a thorough investigation by Capt. Craig to ascertain whether there was foul play. The crew have testisied that the mate and cook admin- istered a Mquia wo the captain, sup] to be laudanum. Capt. Lewis took but'two doses of the medicine, and inside of Nfteen minutes was dead. ‘The contents of the bottle, which was unlabeled, were given to a chemist for analysis. The mate stoutly denied that the captain was poisoned. Capt.

Labor Trouble at Wheeling. FUTURE DISTRESS EXPECTED FROM THE ACTION OF THE STEEL NAIL MILLS. The nafl mills of Wheeling, West Virginia, have decided not to bulld steel plants, but will get their steel bar from Pittsburg, thus not only throwing out all the force of men in the forge departments of the Wheeling nail mills, but giving them no other employment, and forcing them to leave the clty to rocure work for their daily bread. Yesterday the tlers and heaters at the LaBelle mill were notified by letter that their services at the mill would be dispensed with. None of them were aware of any such @ radical change tn the working of the mill going to take place. The doing away with the forge department of tts mili throws over one hun- dred and fifty men out of employment, who will have to leave the city and seek employment in other cities. Last night a gentleman connected With the “manufacture of iron nails said: “This movement of the LaBelle 1s the first break. ‘The other milis are bound to follow that lead or sirike something else that will put them on an juality.” Should this move become general, it will affect In the various branches 1,000 men, of at least 5,000 persons in all. The trade produced by the living expenses of those five thousand People Will cease, and retailers will certainly feel it. ‘The action of the LaBelle created iittle less than con- sternation. Two mills have cut down thelr forge force. It was canvassed on the street corners, and produced a profound impression. —— Robbing the Shipwrecked. Amsterdam, bound for New York, is described by Bome of the passengers to be of the most out- Taian caractet.

Of course I did not know her exact condition, and It was a sort of experimental effort. If she showed me she was at herself, Itutended to send her as I did; if not, I would give her a good, StUT mile, hoping for a better track Monday, when we would let her do her best.” “Then you do not consider the track in its best condition to-da “How could It be after the heavy rains during the el It was fairly good; but as you leave the Judges’ stand it cupped out, and beyond the lower turn I found it the same “Now, a8 to our movements after T got on the sulky.
