instantly. People were thrown for wind
violently, and everything movable went

but on each Bide for nearly tiio whole

The passenger engine lies on its sldo in
the ditch, with the tender on top of it.
The mail-car was so badly injured that
another bad to be ordered from Tacoma

A Clerk's Error.
Pai.oum:, Wns'i., Aug. 2S. A distress
ing nccident, winch resulted in tlio
death of Mrs. Nixon, wife of a farmor
living near Katuiac butte, occurred last
uight, tlie result of a mistake made by
U. G. Marsh, clerk in tho drug store of
II. M. Johnnton. Mrs. Nixon was ill
and the ntteuding phyeioian, Dr. Whit-
taker, had prescribed for her. The pre
ecription contained iodide of potassium,
but the clerk made a mistake and gave
potassium cyanide.
The mistake wus discovered soon after
tlie nied'eine bad been given to the pa
tient, and a messenger hastily sent to
Pulousu for a physician, but the distance
being seven miles, Mrs. Nixon was dead
before the messenger returned with the
doctor. In fact, she died in half an
tiour after taking tho fatal dose.

Another Assassination.
New Youk, Aug, 29. A dispatch to
the Herald from Santo Domingo Friday,
via Key West, Fla., sayB:
The tide of revolution is rapidly near
Ing the capital. The revolutionists have
crossed the mountains, and are now only
six hours distant by horse. The govern
ment is tottering and apparently unable
to choke the insurrection. Yesterday it
dispatched a commission to confer with
the rebel leaders for the purpose of try-
to elTect a compromise. Meanwhile
there is great suspense. The capital may
be besieged in a few days if acompromise
fails.
Among the people there is general
alarm. Tho president never leaves home
by night or day except with a double
guard. The city is virtually under mar
tial law. The soldiers are patrolling the
stieets. The foreign consulates are
crowded with aliens apprehensive of dis
order. The military commandant of
San Cristobal was assassinated on Tuee
day. Placards demanding the death of
the cabinet ministers aro posted nightly
in prominent places.
Military pieparatlons are being rushed
by the government, and tlie reserves are
under arms, but the insurrection has
tlniB far been remarkably free from
bloodshed, although there aro vague le
ports of severe fighting in the interior.
All the telegraph lines to the interior
of the island have been cut by the in
surrectionists, and communication by
wire has been impossible for several days,
but refugees say the revolution is spread
ing. If more setious trouble comes, the
people here are looking to tho United
States for protection, In case of noting,
the New Orleans and n French cruiter
are prepared to land marines to protect
the consulate.
Catarrh C'auuut be Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the sent of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
In order to cure it you must take inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine,
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined witb
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces, Tlie perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results In
