My case had resisted treatment with the usual doctors’ prescriptions and s great number of proprietary medicines; but under the influence of Ayer’s Pills the chills and fever ceased, my liver and stomach were restored to healthy action and my former good health returned.

Atexaxpata Bar, N.Y., July 18—Robert H. Gere, a reporter om the Syracuse Herald, who was one of the passengers on the steamer St. Lawrence, #hich sunk the yacht Catharine yns- terday, heroically saved the lives of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Berry asthey were being drawn Mr. Gere, seeing Mr, and Mra, janging to the rail, rushed throngh the office door snd breaking « window grasped them snd pulled them on the steamer St'Zawrence. After Mr. Hart wae taken on to the St, Lawrence he was asked if anything could be done for him and he replicd sorrow- fully: “No, I am not enffering except iu mind. Oh, my poor Anna, I bad hold of her hand when we went under the boat and thenI knew no more until I was bronght here.” On board the steamer St. Lawrence at the time were the Bethovian Mennerchor of New York, who were making the trip around the islands. : H ia Thom; , who was aneye witness, says: “Hearing the bells rung to reverse the engine I stepped to the gangway to see where we were. A steam yacht, crushed and splint- ered, was slowly sinking. I ran up on the main deck and helped lower the boats and then assisted in throwing over life preservers. Ina few moments six people wore lifted out of the life boat prompt assistance was rendered them. The boats then went searching for the remainder, and the search light by the thought- falness of Purser Volger was turned on the scene to assist the crew of the boats.” RL. Edgett, one of the saved, says that Capt. Senecol is entirely to blame for the ac- cident, since he did not obey properly the sig- nals which were given. Mr. Edgett also states that he placed the life proserver on Mra, Hart and Miss Henuy, but did not see them after- ward. The Catharine sank in five minuts, Mr. and Mrs, Pemberton and Mra. W. D.

Y., July 18.—A bold daylight robbery was committed in this village yester- day morning. About noon sneak thieves entered the Bliss cottage on North Broadway and got away with $10,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry. The cottage is occupied by Mr. Morton, Vice President of the United States, and his law partner, Mr. Bliss, with their wives. The robbery was first discovered by Mre. Mor- ton and the police were promptly notified. It is impossible to ascertain whether the jewelry was the property of Mrs. Morton or Mrs. Bliss, as the parties interested decline to make any statement. The police refuse any information except to admit that the robbery was committed, and that @ reward of @1,000 is offered for the recovery of the jewels, No news of the robbery had leaked from the police until this morning. It is nid that one man is alrendy under arrest as asuspect. sp fot Chicago’s New Stock Yards.

New Yorx, July 18—The firemen have not taken the hose out of the build- ing, although the water is still deep on the floors, A survey has been made of the upper floors. It is found that the cables and pneumatic tubes are in tact and wiil be soon available for use. Gen. Eckert, the vice president of the West- ern Union, is of the opinion that the loss of that company will not much exceed $100,000. He also believes they will be able to employ a considerable force mn the main hallways in day or two. Already new switch boards are on the way from Philadelphia and ali that energy and money can do to quickly restore the sery- ice for the public will be done. The Associated Press will use the executive roow on the fifth floor and such other rooms as can be had in the neighborhood. The fire was so hot in the hs pecan room as to melt brass instruments and glass, Mr. Russell Sage sat in his office at 71 Broad- way aud calmly discussed the fire. He said that Mr. Gould and those interosted in the various enterprises, who had offices in the ‘n Union building would seek temporary accommodations in the Equitable building. Workmen went to work at noon to put the Offices in the Western Union building in con- dition for occupancy. Superintendent Hum- stone of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany called on Mayor Grant at noon today and secured permission from him as president of the board of electrical control to string wires to be run into the old Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company's building at 414 Broad- way, which will be temporary quarters of tho Western Union Company. ‘A large force of linemen were put to work at once and by to- morrow it is expected that 100 wires will be in use, > THE BEHRING SEA QUESTION. A British Admiral Says it is Too Late to Head Us Off, Victoria, B.C., July 18,—H.M.S, Warspite, flagship of the North Pacifie squadron, with Rear Admiral Hotham aboard, arrived here yesterday. The admiral stated emphatically that he had as yet received no instructions to send any of the fleet to the north to protect British vessels from seizure by American cutters or to retake apy that might be seized in Behring sea, Admiral Hotham said be could hardly see how the United States could estavlish a tenable claim to close Behring sea and thought that Canadian interests must win in the diplo- matic fight progressing. Had England any intention of sending one of the fleet to Bebr- ing sea this year to prevent seizure of schoon- ers flying the English flag it was presumed that orders would have come long ago. Now, if one did go, it would be practically too late in the season to accomplish the end aimed et.

Meanwhile the foatures of the bill are being considered by the committee on privileges and elections, with the view of its being called up for considera- thon.

MR. DOLPH’S INDIGNATION. He Replies to Mr. and the . Latter Rese Mr, Dolph took the floor in the Senate this afternoon and repudiated indig- nantly the insinuation made against him by Mr. Reagan and which, he said, was not gentlemanly and scarcely par- liamentary.

He defied the Senator to point to a single word or vote or act of his in the interest of land spec- Wators, €MU. REAGAN RETRACTS.
