Catarrh and rheumatism were also causing him much trouble, until he tried P. P. P. He says he is well and will swear that there are no cases of neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism, no matter how chronic or how old the cases are, that P. P. P. will not make a total cure of.

The cotton market closed steady, with prices finally 2 points higher to 2 points lower, as compared with Saturday's closing figures, after opening quiet and easy with prices un changed to 3 points lower. Trading was almost entirely local, although In the afternoon there was some huvlner - for European account, which caused local covering. The more - warlike outlook in the Levant exerted some influence hri but none in Liverpool.

Thousands In 5ied of Immediate Assis tanceTo Provide Forage for Stock Ra tions to the People to be of the Simplest Kind The Flood Generally Subsiding. ,. Washington, April 12. Secretary Al ger thinks the worst of the flood dan gers have passed in the Mississippi valley and that with the force the war. department now has in the field, co operating, as it is, with the local relief committees, there is small danger that great suffering will he permitted to go unchecked and unrelieved. . Vr r The question of feeding the live stock of the people driven from their homes' by water has been solved. When it .was first proposed to authorize the of ficers to buy forage for the animals, it was held that the act of congress would not permit that to be done and the of ficials were about to ask 'congress to amend the originar Joint resolution when the treasury authorities decid ed that the resolution itself con tained the necessary . authoriza tion. This was fortunate, for Cap tain Daviis. at Memphis Saturday night, telegraphed that it seemed ab solutely necessary to purchase forage for the stock in addition to food, and the permission to do so was at once given him. Another decision that may do something to relieve the government authorities of , undue pressure upon their resources was also made by Sec cretary Alger upon ' the recommenda tion of Captain Davis. This was to re duce the rations supplied to the sim plest proportions, while still making sure that they should he sufficient for actual needs. The army ration will be discarded and in its place the hungry will" get nothing but pork, corn meat anu molasses. Captain Davis' report on this subject was contained in the fol lowing telegram to the war depart ment: "Memphis, April 11. 1897. Conditions as to food here same as in Captain Fitch's telegram Qf 8th, Water sub siding slightly and slowly. Steamer J. H.

Steamer sailed at 7 o'clock this morning. Civilian relief committee is to be organized. It is dif ficult to obtain accurate information as fo the number of destitute at any point. In purchasing supplies we have figured on plantation rations consisting ' daily per person of , seven ounces pork, 27 3-7 ounces corn meal and one half pint of molasses. DAVIS."" This was supported by the following telegram which was turned over to the war department by Representative Catchings, as recipient: "Impress on the secretary of war the advisability of sending only meat, meal, flour, corn and oats to flood suf ferers here. They are cheaper and go further than the regular army rations. This should only be distributed through government officials. "W. A. tEVERMAN, , W, W.' STONE." The following report of the situation at Moorhead, Minn., came from Major Sanno, just before leaving for Grand Forks: "Moorhead, Minn., April . 11. Adju tant general, Washington: Had a con ference with the' relief committee at which George N. Lamphere presided, the mayor and the city attorney be ing present. Seventy-five families, con sisting of 325 jsouls, have been flooded out and are being cared for by the com mittee. These people mostly owned and occupied small, dwellings in the flooded district and are now quartered in publie buildings or among friends. Fifty houses have floated off some dis tance and twenty-five more are water soaked to the roof. The committee es timates it will cost $5,000 to replace and repair the dwellings before ' thev can be made habitable and would prefer that the government assistance should be in this direction, provided the ap propriation will admit of it. With the exception of some fifteen mechanics, all the people flooded out are common laborers, and It Is my understanding the government relief contemplates the issue of rations. . To this end, I recom mend 7,500- rations as being sufficient to carry them through the next thirty days. Rations can be purchased here as reasonably as elsewhere and I am satisfied, that George N. Lamphere will get the proper person to take charge of the matter. The river is falling and no further trouble is expected- here." Telegrams from other officers on in spection duty show, that there is more destitution than Was supposed in upper Arkansas and Missouri. The first of the detailed reports from the inspection officers, came to Secretary Alger this afternoon from Lieutenant Whitney, as follows: - Memphis, April 12. As a result of personal inspection of part of the Mem phis-Cairo district north of Ashport, Tenn., ninety miles by river, I found eighteen crevasses in levees, varying in width from 50 to 1,000 feet and widening more. The increased damage to levees will be considerable unless the ends of the breaks are heavily capped. No fresh ' crevasses are an ticipated now. The flood is completely over the United States levee at Ash port and south for fifteen miles, except in a, few of the highest places; three crevasses in this stretch. . The top is being badly damaged on account of sloughing. I have reported latest de tails as to location, extent and con dition to the engineer officer in charge of this district. Water at the maximum was three or four 'feet higher on the gauge than ever before known. It has been falling ten to twelve Inches every twenty-four hours and is now about on a standstill, higher than any pre vious flood. The maximum approimate length and breadth and area of- the inundated district are as reported in every previous telegram. In addition there are about forty-five square miles in Tennessee, "nine miles long, five miles wide on average. I found about 3,000 refugees (1,920 colored) 1,500 more have been brought to Memphis. Most all have some sort of shelter, but are suffering for want of necessities. JudgJ ing from reliable reports this number represents' barely a quarter of those needing immediate assistance in this portion of the district. Stock is suffer ing terribly; one-third to one-fourth of the cattle is drowned and the remain der will die unless forage is suplied from ' outside. The ready resources of the district are exhausted." The condition In Mississippi county. Tennessee, Is - representative; - nine tenths of its 805 square miles are cov ered with . water, three to seven feet deep. About 15 per cent, of this was under cultivation. Many cabins are washed away or torn up.- Those stand ing are filled with people and. rescued stock on raised floors and orrraf ts. Out of 150,000 population, 6,000 are depend ent and needing. Four lives: are re ported lost by drowning. The conditions in Crittenden county are even worse arid the suffering is rapidly increas ing, due to prolonged high water. Most of the refugees are collected on high ground and at points on levees. I have noted their location and approximate number. They can be reached from Memphis by a relief boat which should leave supplies for five days at a lime at certain relief stations, each in charge of one responsible resident. Would recommend that an officer distribute rations and take receipts from persons in charge of station. Those back from the river Can be reached by small boats from these stations. Sufferers in my section can and should be relieved where they are. This will prevent se rious demoralization of labor , later. Would recommend furnishing simplest food supplies, corn meal and side meat. and that every, ration be accompanied by forage for two - head or stock. start soon as possible for 'the northern section."

Fireman rtnninn' ductor Gentry, it left Charlotte late, but nao oraers to have the right of way and meet No. 11 at Harrisburgy The train consisted of an engine, mail r tn press cars full of vegetables.' baggage car. uu ui w-ciass coaches and two sleepers, The track for A. -TY1 lift rvw ow A rtvSNn si rtn r Harrisburg is perfectly straight, except at one point, where there is a small curve and a considerable cut. The side track at .Harrisburg can be plainly seen for more than a mile approaching from this side. Captain Tunstall. vhn ma ?n the. lookout for No. 11, kept his eye on the distant Biding, expecting every minute to see No. 11 run into It, but, seeing that mo irtujji was ciear and no train ap- Sroachlng, and having the right of way, e steamed ahead at the n nt riFtT.fl, miles an hour, but by reason of the topo graphy of the country losing sight of the siding as he neared It. No. 11. th Wji passenger, left Concord late. It was man. nea oy nmgineer J. c. Kinney, Fireman Ed Lee and Conductor James Lovell. It had orders, so one of the trainmen says, to meet No. 36 at Harrisburg at 11:14. It had slowed up, preparatory to running Into the siding, and was only a hundred yards from the north end of tha switch when No. 36 dashed into the cut. ine two engineers faced each other with faces blanched with the fear of a horrible death. .Engineer Tunstall ahnlied hla brakes and jumped. Almost at the same instant that the headlights faced each other the deadly crashi came.- The crash was heard for miles around,' and the noise was like that or a-sharp crack of thunder. FEARFUL SCENE AT THE WRECK. There were ninety-six nassengra on No. 36. As soon as they felt the jar of the alr brakes they knew something serious was wrong. Several of them were thrown forward in their seats, but none ot them were hurt. The instant the train stopped they jumped out to see what had happen ed. The scene that met their eyes beg gared description. There were the two great engines piled one above the other, so that the headlight on one No. 11 was up amongst the telegraph wires; the two express cars of No. 36 were splintered into a 'thousand pieces, hardly a piece as big as a man's arm jbelng left. In less than three minutes.' time the postal car of No. 11 was on fire, and but for the use of the chemicals at hand, and the heroic work of Postal Clerk John Hill Carter, both trains would have been in flames in a few minutes' time. But the first thought of those who hurried from the trains to a. certain the cause ox the stoppage, and who were greeted by - the frightful scene described, was for those who were in the cabs and forward cars. What of them, where were they? The eager questions were soon answered by sights that made the heart sick and a. sense of faintness to overcome one. CLERK BENIN'S AWFUL DEATH, Out of .the rear part of the postal car No. 11. which was demolished by the en gine of No. 36, hung Postal Clerk Benton, head downward. His body was out of the car, but his legs were pinioned in under the engine, and so close to the boiler that he was being burned by the heat and steam. He- begged plteously to be extri cated. "Cut my legs off," cried he. - "I am being scalded to death." . Heroic efforts were made to rescue him. Three jacks were placed under the engine, and the passengers worked hard, but there, for an hour and a half, he hung with his body out of the car and his legs pinioned next to the hot' boiler. -The only relief that could be given him In this frightful situation was the keeping of his body wet with cold water. - A bucket brigade, was formed and bucket after "bucket was thrown on him. but It could not counter act the effects of . the steam. ' He lived fifteen minutes after being taken out. During that time his agony was frightful. He refused to take any spirits, saying that he would soon be dead and that It was not worth while. When asked Whether he wanted to be taken to the hospital or his home, he said: "I will be dead, 1t will not matter." He told the bystanders about his wife and children in Charlotte, and, with their names upon his lips, expired. - THE TWO OTHER VICTIMS. The body of Fireman Donaldson, of No. 36, was found in the centre of the wreck. It was a sickening sight. ils head was mashed perfectly flat, and his. body. was a mass of pulp. One arm could not be found for some time. John Eudy was found about .the centre of the wreck, under the mail and express cars. He never spoke, Dut died a rew minutes after being taken out. THE INJURED MEN, Captain Tunstall was picked up on the embankment unconscious, and was found to be badly scalded on the lace, arm ana head. He regained consciousness after being carried into the ambulance car. Captain Kinney was pulled out from the wreck alive, but so badly scalded that he was not expected to live tnrougn the night. It was thought that he had in haled the steam as he begged constantly for something to cool him Inside; that he was on nre. He , became unconscious shortly after reaching here, and tonight his recovery was pronounced impossible. From the rear part or. tnis engine tne colored" porter, Fltzhugh Lee, who had gotten on tne engine to nag at tiarris burg. was 1 taken out from where he was fastened down by the timbers of the mail car of No. 36. He had to be sawed out. From his knees down he was fastened. Fireman Ed. Lee, of No. 11, was not hurt, but his clothing caught on fire and it was nearly all torn off him in order to save him. He came to Charlotte clad in a blanket. He was unnerved by the shock of the collision and the sight of his en gineer's sufferings. - Express : Messenger Gallagher was not seriously hurt. William Clemens was painfully hurt, but not seriously. He was found with Captain Tunstall on the top of the embankment. John Eudy. who was still living, was put on board the car. He was not mashed but was hurt Internally. He . died be tween here and Harrisburg. - - , Engineers Kinney ,-and Tunstall were placed on beds in the smoker, of one of the PumnaiKcara. ? v '5 : . : A NEW; TRACK.. BUILT. A large force of hands was put to work removing the debris. Engines were pull ing at each end-of the. pile to reduce it so the work of clearing couM be better car ried on. This work was kept up au aay and night.. Another force of hands waa put to work building a track around the wreck. The bed was made and rail laid, and the track was ready for travel by. night. No. 35, the -fast mall passing over it. . ; , HEROIC POSTAL CLERK. The heroic conduct of Postal Clerk Carter won for him the admiration and praise of everyone on board. Senator Money and Mr. L. B. Musgrave, of Bir mingham, who were on board the train bound for Washington, will use their in fluence in Washington to have him pro moted. They said they never saw grat er heroism displayed. 1 - - Mt. Olive Items. (Correpandenfce of The Messenger.) IMotot Olive, IN. C, April 12.

' of suah damaging nature have followed so fast upon each other's heels since Saturday that the scene Is .almost, kaleioscopic. The latest rumor that hsa gained currency is that "within the next forty-eight hours a sensational resolution will be tntro dluced In the'Wouse 'by the Hunter re publicans censuring and denouncing Governor Bradley In .the most severe terras for taking an'd having a part In the alleged brfoery charges which havo been brought Against Dr. Hunter. The iatter's followers openly charge that Governor Bradley, aawll as the silver democrats, lhad a hand in .the Instiga tion of the bribery charges, whtoh are now being sifted by. tne Franklin ,oounty grand jury, and that in thUr , last anove he allowed his venom to get the better of his judgment, and that it will work his downfall. This rumor reached the ears 'of Gov ernor Bradley this morning' and the scene about the, state .house wals sul ; phurous for at time. , The Iatter's friends vehemently deny that he had aaty connect ion with it and say if a res olution is introduced Governor Bradley will immediately go upon the floor of -the house and make ia speech that .will follow sensations from end to end. It Is said tbat an effort will be made to dissuade Governor Bradley from this step, as It is feared Chat serious trou ble might result from it, as the gov ernor minces no words when angTy in debate. Ex-Congressmen Wilson and Franks, the -Hunter republicans who are 'im plicated with their leader In the al leged attempt at . bribery, were sum moned before the grand jury- this mornfng - on the recommendation of Attorney General Taylor, who said that he ddd not went to Bee the grand Jury become k mere engine for political persecution. .

The situation here is grave. The' feel ing' runs very 'high and personal alter cations are rooked for at.ny time.

Wlhen the roll Was called the Hunter refpnfbl'icans answer ed promptly to their names, but tha gold democrats, bolting republicans and free stiver democrats declined to an- swer, thus breaking a quorum. Representative Burnteum, of tMadison county, a Hunter man, denounced the tactics of the opposition in round terms, saying that there were 125 mem bers of the "general assembly on the floor and only forty-five .had answered. The continuation of such tadtlds, he said,; was ia disgrace to the state.- 'A ballot was ordered which resulted in forty-four votes being oast for Hunter. No quorum being1 present, the general -assembly adjourned. The Hunter men were busy this af ternoon collecting their scattered forces for a final effort" tomorrow. They an nounce that they will win on the next Joint ballot unless all signs 'fall. Many legislators' are of the opinion that mat ters .have reached a crisis and that the tension, -which has been tightly drawn since the session begun, will culminate tomorrow In the election of either Hunter or the compromise democratic candidate,' Henry L.
