Pierce town, has been married fifteen
years and is the mother of six children.
This year she has spun the thread and
wove ninety-seven yards of cloth, besides
doing her household duties and other
work. This cloth she has used in clothing
her children. She has made sufficient
cloth every year since her marriage to
clothe herself and children. Mrs. Coker
is a middled-aged lady, and we doubt if
there> another one of her Bex in the

has done.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
Walsenbtjrg, Col., Dec. 20.?A
shocking accident occurred on the Den?
ver and Rio Grande road last night, four
mileB West of here, in which an engineer
and fireman were instantly killed, and a
large amount of property was destroyed.
A freight train left Laveta, made up of
two engines in front snd twenty-two
cars of cattle, ten freight cars and ca?
boose, and an engine in the rear. The
train Boon broke in three parts, and then
there began a race for life, a? the middle
section was loose from the' caboose with
no brakeman on it. Tbo engines ran
about three miles, at the rate of over a
mile a minute down a grade ninety feet
to the mile, and here the middle section,
with twenty-four cars loaded with cattle
and lumber overtook them.
The first engine escaped, but the
second was instantly overwhelmed in a
great mass of flying wreckage, which
buried the engineer and fireman beneath
it, killing them instantly. Portions of
timber on the flying cars were thrown
over 200 feet when the collision occurred.
Seven cars of cattle and eight cars of
lumber were piled up in the wreck, and
nearly all of the cattle were killed or
horribly mangled. William Gleyer, the
dead engineer, leaves a wife and one
child. Thomas Baker, the fireman, was
a single man. W. H. Ferringer and D.
Edmonson, both brakemen, were severe?
ly injured, and were taken to the com?
pany's hospital at Pueblo.
Pjrovidence, R. I., Dec. 18.?That
three smart thieves did hot make a large
haul from the Slater National Bank,
Pawtucket, to day, was due to the fact
that only about $3,000 was left on the
counter when they began operations.
The bank had been removed from the
rear to the front of the building, and the
partition separating the cashier's deek
from the lobby had been taken down.
Just beyond, a door which separated the
cashier's room from the main banking
room had also been taken away, and
only a light iron gate stood between the
cashier's desk and the lobby. The bank
was thus practically doiog business out
doors when just after 12 o'clock, Teller
B. W. Gardner and Clerk J. F. Brown?
ing of the Franklin Savings Bank being
present, three strangers entered. The
cashier had gone to dinner and there
were no patrons present. Two of the
strangers opened a conversation with
Gardner snd Browning, one pretending
to be very deaf and causing Gardner to
shout in speaking to him, thus covering
the noise of their confederate's work.
The third, a small wiry fellow, vaulted
the gate, passed into the banking room
and seized the bundles of money lying on
the desk. Something attracted Gard?
ner's attention to the banking room, and
he turned to look. "Don't look that
way 1 Look at me. I'm hard of hear?
ing," said the talker oat side the counter.
Mr. Gardner did look, and saw the third
man grabbing the money. He ran for
him, but the thief bolted, sprang nimbly
over the gate, dropping, as he did so, a
package containing about $1,400. Gard?
ner went as far as the door; but having
left the two strangers in the bank he did
not follow further. These two slipped
out upon his return, and all three made
their escape. The man who feigned
deafness is described as past middle age
and as wearing a sandy moustache. The
bank officials this evening claim that the
loss will not exceed $1,410.

A Woman's Discovery.
"Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by a lady in this
county. Disease fastened its clutches upon
her and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed incessantly
and could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of King's New Discovery for Con?
sumption and was so much relieved on
taking first dose that she slept all night
and with one bottle has been miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

The Verdict Cnauimous.
W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., tes?
tifies: "lean recommend Electric Bitters
as the very best remedy. Every bottle
sold has given relief in every case. One
man took six bottles, and was cured of
Rheumatism of 10 years' standing."
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio,
affirms : "The best selling medicine I have
ever handled in my 20 years' experience, is
Electric Bitters." Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys
or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at

Good News to Sportsmen.
Owing to tbo recent decline in lead the
Sullivan Hardware Company, in keeping
with the market, again reduce their price
on Shot to $1.25 per bat/. This is dirt cheap
and can't last long. This is certainly the
time to lay in an ample supply of shot.
In this connection the Sullivan Hardware
Company would say that they are still,
and propose to continue, far ahead with
their special lines, particularly with their
immense and superb stock of Guns,
Sportmen's Goods, Ammunition, Ac, and
never can be left on prices.
