Zabala, the eity'a autopsy physician, ex
plains tho cauBO of the pugilist's death
ns follows :
"I found severe contusions on Franey'a
face, ahoulderB and upper arniB. Thero
was honiorrhago of the brain on the left
aide and the organ itself in an anaemic
condition. Tho man niunt have received
a terrible punishment, nnd death waa
nothing more than thu result of the
hlowa which were rained on tho fnce and
head. Tho impact cf the head on the
floor had nothing to do with it. He was
in n dying condition before ho fell.
Franey s'hould never have entered the
ring. An examination of his lungs
showed pleuralic adhesions, and his
syatem was otherwise broken down. He
waa fit for practical purposes in life, but
certainly not for unnatural exercise."

It may be a question whether the
editor of u newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicinea wjiich flood the
market, yet iib a preventive of suffering
w) feel it a duty to Bay a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea itemcdy. We have known and
used thia medicine in our family ior
twenty years and hayo always found it
reliable. Injinany cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe tnat if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy wa9 kept on band
nnd administered at the inception of an
attack, much Buffering might be avoided
and in very many caaea tho presence of
a physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience
luring tho past twenty years. For sale

PEOPLE HERDING
IN THE TOWNS
Scores of Old Men and Women Arc
Homeless aod Begging for Food
and Shelter Fully Two Thousand
Have Perished.
New Yonir, Aug. 18. A dispatch to
the Herald from San Juan, Porto K'co,
says ;
Visits to the most distressed districts
of the island prove that the former re
ports of terrible conditions have not been
in the least exaggerated. People in the
towns are huddled together anywhere
for shelter. In the country the people
are sleeping in the open air. The food
supplies have been totally destroyed.
Only the well-to-do can afford to buy
provisions.
Unless succor comes in a few days the
people will starve. The supplies from
San Juan have not yet arrived at tho
townr, but are expected. The depots in
many towns are already surrounded by
a large number of hungry people. The
mayors of the towns have received no
authority to dispense money, but rnoBt
of them are contributing generously out
of their own pockets to supply the most
urgent needs.
As far as Cayuaa and Cayey, the sani
tary conditions are not threatened, hut
reportB from the towns further south
state that their condition is dangerous.
The peril lies in the herding of the in
habitants in the towns. Several of the
soldiers were wounded during the recent
hurricane, but it is learned that there
were no deaths among them. The best
posted persons agree that it will be neces
sary to provide work for the inhabitants
and seeds for the next planting. An of
ficial report from Guarmas says that 203
houses were destroyed, 173 seriously in
jured and 204 damaged by the storm.
In the district surrounding Mayaguez,
scores of women, old men and children
are hpmeless and begging shelter and
food.
In Arroyo 00 per cent of the houses
were demolished by the hurricane. At
the port nothing remains. Many prom
inent persons in Utuado have signed an
appeal to the public asking food and
work for thu inhabitants. Two thousand
persons have perished in this whole
dietrict.
