A Fortunate D.rnggiHt.
Mr. Edwin W. Joy a prosperous druggist
on the, comer oX Stockton, and Market
streets, In San Franciico," probably never
dreamed ot rivaling in "wealth'the medi
cine lings of the country. But arious
rumors having been floating aroundtothc
effect that be has struck It big, an Examiner
reporter was detailed to unearth the cause.
It seems that about seven years ago an
English physician, a great student of Bot
any, located iu this city. Ills practice
was not extensive, and yet the few cases
that came to him attracted no little atten
tion. His great success seemed to be in the
treatment of liver and kidney disorder,
aud vitiated blood. He feemed almost
Infallible, and his well kept fecret was as
much amystery as himself. After his de
parture Mr. Joy determined to fathom tho
secret, and copying all the prescriptions
he had filled for tho erratic doctor, he
began a systematic analysis He dlscov
cred running all through the prescript
Ions for liver and kidney troubles, vitiated
blood and stomach disorders a couple of
vegetable extracts indigenous to California
so simple and so well known under home
ly every day names to every school boy as
to entirely disslpato the suspicion that
they wero the active principles involred
So certain, however, was Mr. Joy that he
had discovered tho secret that he cnlbod
ied the now elements In n preparation of
Barsaparilla to disguise the taste, and put
it before his customers under the modest
name of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. Im
mediately the same stories came back of
Its astonishing effects, and the m stery was
solved, and the talk it ha: created 'has
already caused it to step Into prominence,
and orders pour in dally from all over the
coast And thus another California Indus

SEATTLE BO&UBGED.
A Terrible Conflagration Sweeping The
Business Blocks.
The Fire Department Powerless Denor-
ate Appeals for Aid.
Seattle, June 6. 330 p. m. Fire
broke out at 230 J. u. in the Pontis
building on Front street It is now
raging over a district of five or six
blocks with tremendous fury. The
wind is from the north and the direc
tion of the fire along the water front
to a big brick block, between Colum
bia street and the San Francisco store.
The indictations are now that the
whole business portion of the town,in
volving millions of dollars loss will go.
The magnificent San Francisco store,
also other stores in the rear are on
fire and the whole big block will
doubtless go.
The firemen are helpless and have
telegraphed in all directions for help.
Western Union telegraph office is
about to bo abandoned.
Seattle, 430 r. m. Tho disastrous
fire is still sweeping through tho bus
iness part of the city. Two blocks
havo already been destroyed andmany
other buildings are in flames. The
conflagration has passed beyond con
trol ot the fire department.
To add to. the city's peril a brisk
breeze is blowing off the bay and fan
ning the flames. About 1,000 feet
ot nose uas bean burned. At present
no idea of the extent of the loss can
be formed. Opera house block and
the block opposite, and all the ware
houses at the foot ot Columbia street,
also the frame building in the rear of
the Post-Intelligencer office are burn
ing. People in lesler block, occupied
by Western Union Telegraph com
pany and the Post-Intelligencer are
moving out
At this writing the Western Union
has one wire undisturbed, over which
this dispatch is being sent.
Portland, Juno 6. Receipt of the
news of the great fire in Seattle
creates considerable excitement in this
city. Seattle telegraphed to Port
land for assistance from the fire de
partment An engine and one thou
sand feet of hose was made ready but
it was impossible to get a special
train. .
Insurance men say the loss in Port
land agencies will be considerable'.
", A later dispatch just received from
beattle says the Western Union lines
have bnrned. Thn flro is still rncrinrr
with uncontrolled-fury.
EIEBSON ACQUITTED,

out but n short time. All were in
favor of acquitting the defendant.

IN THE VALLEY-OF DEATH.
Ten Thousand Searching for the Dead.
Johnstown. June C- -The waters in
the Conemaugh valiey have subsided
almost to their usual. level. With the
recedinc of tho waters the sceno
of desolation becomes hourly more
weirdly picturesque. Like a desert
swept by a simoon, the valley is a
level and unbroken plain for miles.
only at last to find an abrupt termi
nus in a mountain of debris that found
lodgment on a projecting rock, which,
like Ajax, defied the elements.
The work of recovering tho dead
goes on with vigor and with a system
that produces rapid results. A blast
of twenty-five dynamite cartridges at
10 o clock loosened up tne debns,maK
ing it possible to open the mouth of
the old channel. The workmen have
located the day express which was
swept away at Conemaugh. Parts of
the parlor cars have been found, as
well as traces of the passengers. It
is evident that many lives were lost
on this train more than was at first
supposed. The whole train affair is
still a mystery Five thousand men
are at work. It is expected that by
to-morrow ten thousand will be em
ployed. Even this force will not bo
able to remove the debris in less than
several weeks.
Johnstown, June 6. Doubt has
been expressed regarding the accu
racy of the estimate that from 12,000
to 15,000 persons were lost in the
flooded districts. The guessing is
reasonable, conservative and based on
close figuring. At least 2,500 bodies
have been foundf 2,000 at the lowest
calculation are in the burned debris
in tho river: 2,000 in unsearched sand
banks around the Cambria Iron and
Steel works and along the river about
the lower part of Johnstown. Irom
1.000 to 2.000 are scattered in the val
ley from Woodville to the bridge, and
a thousand or two below the bridge
between Johnstown and xtohvar. Hun
dreds were carried down the rivers in
the tremendous current and may
never come into the hands of the
livintr.
Said Adjutant-General Hastings
this merning: "In my opinion the
loss is greater than we can now show
flsrares for." TheAltoona delegation
wlwhave been all over the district
since Sunday morning, say the loss is
from 12,000 to 14,000. and base their
opionion on talk with scores of people.
The absence of former residents
and fixed, familiar population is most
striking. There are thousands of
strangers and workmen from a dis
tance 'One perpetual question was,
"Where are" people here are about
10,000 whero arc the rest?"
At noon to-day tho borough of
Johnstown and the adjoining boroughs
or what is left of them, practically
passed tinder the martial law, al
though Adjutant-General Hastings
says he has not declared martial law
yet Soldiers are on guard and no
one is permitted between tho lines
unless they have on order from the
adjutant-general.
