As the competitors in the Ore.;, games of old could win only by the most severe tri r f ability and enduranoe, so Athlophobos has w the prize, not alone by giving temporary relief t by bringing an enduring enre, as well, to those have suffered the excruciating agonies of Eheu:.. tsmand Neuralgia Athlophoros is a novelty, not only in name, but in its elements.

I he Effort to Compromise the Affairs Renewed. Boston, Jan. 15. The effort to compromise the affairs of Shaw Bros, was renewed today, before Judge Devens of the Supreme Coujt. There were no new facts presented, but several interest ing legal propositions were discussed by eminent counsel, to avoid the difficulty sug gested, and to give Mr. Wyman, trustee ap pointed bv the Supreme Court, power to sell the property for *800,000 and deposit the same with the judge of the Insolvency Court of Middlessex countv, to carry out the scheme under the composition law of 1884 by paying 30 per cent. M the creditors. What course should be pursued as to the objecting creditors wdio refuse to j dn in the compro mise was tlie main point discussed, and op posing creditors argued legal objections to prove that their pro rata share should be de posited with the clerk of the Supreme Court. The judge reserved liis decision. POM I. I ho \V. II. T’s Defeat the Alamedas by a Score ol 3 to 1. Lewiston, Jan. 15 At the City Kink tonight the \V. 11.

A Narrow Escape Irom a Terrible Cas ually—Fifty Persons Miraculously Escape Death. Wii.kesbarrk, Pa., .Jan. 13. The Buffalo fast express train from New York, on the Lehigh Valley Railroad jumped the track at Stony Creek near White Haven this afternoon The accident was caused by a misplaced switch. Fireman Evans, seeing the danger ahead, jumped anil was instantly killed. When the danger was discovered the hreakman ran through the train, direct ing the passengers to hurry into the rear cars This being done quickly,the car was detached and the breaks put down. About 50 passen gers were on the train. Many jumped from the ears and sustained slight bruises and cuts, but none were seriously injured. Hardly had the rear car been cut loose, when the engine and 3 coaches ran from the track, down a '-0 embankment into Stony Creek. The en gineer, John Rice, was found at the throttle of the engine in a fainting condition. He was slightly bruised. Had he not remained at his post the accident wound have been more serious. CALIFORNIA’S READLOCK. A Relief that Stanford Will Ret the senatorship. Sacramento City. Jan. 15. The deadlock in the Senate continues. The resolution offered yesterday that the canmdate for President pro tern receiving the smallMt number of votes after three ineffectual bal lots be dropped and the one receiving the highest number be declared elected, was de feated. It i« believed that one or the other of the democratic factions to bring the dead lock to a close and thus affect the lion of the Senate. The continued fight for organization has given the various senatorial candidates an opportunity to test their relative strength and the result is unsatisfactory to all. Many things last night indicated that the senatorship will ultimately be tendered to Got. Stanford. business disaster. The Great Iron Firm of Oliver Bros, it Phillips of Pittsburg, Pa., Corn* pelled to Suspend Payment. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 15. This afternoon Oliver Bros Phillips and Oliver Roberts Wire Co., limited, issued the following card to creditors 'VV e are today compelled to suspend pay ments, and purpose calling immediately" a meeting of those interested, to whom we be lieve we can show assetts amplv sufficient, with some indulgence, to pav everv dollar of our liabilities.” The report of the embarrassment of Oliver Bros. Pnillips, the greatest iron firm in the city, flew like wildfire, and created great ex citement. Such an event was recognized as a catastrophe unequalled bv any previous failure, and the great popularity of the indi vidual members of the firm made it all the more to be deplored. It is believed that dull times, an immense pay roll and other necessary expenses have compelled the firm to make an extension somewhat similar to that given toGrafi, Ben nett Co., who failed two years ago. There are many stories afloat as to the im mediate cause of trouble, but in the banks and on all sides it seemed to be til general opinion that an extention would be asked for and granted by the creditors. It is impossible to guess at the liabilities of the firm. They are reported to be from 000,000 to 84,000,000. Local bankers say that there is about 81.000,000 or 81,500,000 of paper held here, with a good collateral for almost all of it. Large blocks of paper are held in the eastern States, as far east as Massachusetts, while very large sums are carried in New York and Philadelphia. The firm has made large investments in real estate and has an immense amount of collateral of various kinds. It is thought that there is not the slightest doubt that the extension will be granted and the firm will pasn Banks have the greatest confidence in the management of heads of the firm and will he as liberal as possible in their arrangements. It is said that the banks were willing to continue the carry of papers, but owing to hard times and scarcity of money, the firm were unable t raise money to meet the inter est and pay their employes. The pay roll amounted to 825(1,000 a month, and it is said that this was too much for them to meet any longer. The history of the rise of this firm is one of the mils remarkable in the annals of this country. Seventeen years ago, II. W. Oliver Jr., Jno. M. Phillips and VVm. J Lewis en tered into co-partnership for the manufacture of iron. Oliver’s business career up to 1807, bad embraced the performance of duties of ship ping clerk tor Gratt, Bennett Co., and the fitting of clerkship in the employ of Penna railroad company. Phillips was a brick layer and Lewis was a practical iron worker. They built a ininature mill at the south side, end of Tenth street bridge, in which Oliver kept books, while Lewis and Phillis looked after the practical part of the work. Their outfit consisted of two puddling and one beating furnace, and the product w as wheeled away on harrows. From the humble beginning has grown the great firm of Oliver Bros. Phillips, which now employs over 4000 men. The firm has been unitormallv successful and the profits have aggregated millions. Three years ago, Leads retired from the firm with a fortune of several mil lions. The suspension created no surprise as sev eral of the manufacturers had an inkling that something was going to happen. The gen eral opinion prevails, however, that the firm will resume business very soon after having made arrangements with creditors. It is the general impression that the liabilities will reach $5,000,000 with the assets about $1,000,000 more. The news of the suspension almost caused a panic among the employees, hut when it was stated that an extension would probably be granted and the mills continue in operation the men set about to devise means to aid the jfirm. A meeting of the workmen of Woods Hen mill was held to night and it was unanimously decided to re turn to work at a reduction, which they re fused last week. Tomorrow meeting w ill be held at several of the south side mills, con trolled by the firm, and it is thought that sim ilar action w ill be taken. H. W. Oliver said tonight: "We have ample assets to pay every dollar we owe, which we will certainly do. We have enough and the public need have no fears about our meeting every obligation in full." CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS. Democratic Members Not in Uavor oi the Naval Appropriation Hill. Washington, Jan. 15. Immediately after the adjournment this P. M the democratic members of the House held a short caucus. Mr. Randall said he had called the caucus merely to acquaint the members with the con dition of the appropriation measures. He was of the opinion that there would be no disa greement between the two houses, and every appropriation bill would be passed before the 4th of March. He believed it would be to the best interest of the democratic party not to appropriate money, this year, for the increase of the navy. He was in favor of increasing this branch of the government, but thought it best to wait until next year. Mr. King offered a resolution providing that democratic members of the House of Representatives, should follow the majority of the committee on appropriations. The resolution was lost and the caucus adjourned. THE PHELAN CASE. Phrlnn Say* He i* Not Afraid to Appear Against Short. New York, Jan. 15. The Herald says Efforts are being made to induce Mrs. l’helan to persuade her hus band not to appear against the dynamiters. Ever since her arrival in this city. Mrs. Phe lan says she has received letters daily, some threatening and others pieading. and *11 ask ing her interference in Short's behalf. Many of the writers are women, who appeal to her to prevent further bloodshed by a hasty de parture to Kansas City. Mrs. Phelan dis regards the letter and beyond announcing the receipts, cares little for advice or threats. Capt. Phelan is in good spirits and very de termined to fight Short and his colleagues to the end. He says he is not the slghtest bit afraid of any of them, and if the authorities j allow him to carry a revolver, he wouldn't be afraid to meet any or all of the clique, face to face, in any part of the city. One Miaate in Jail lor Mnrder. Petersburg. Va.. 15. Thos. J. Davis, charged with the murder of John Ditman. was today convicted of in voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to one minute's imprisonment and a fine of 95. FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.

Second Session. SENATE. Washington, Jan. 15. Mr. Miller of California introduced a bill to increase the [tension of Mrs Francis L. Thomas, widow of Gen. Geo. H. Thomas, from 8360 to 31000 a year, the same as the pension already granted to the widow of Admiral Faragut. Mr. Miller of California, from the commit tee on foreign relations, reported a substitute for the bill heretofore introduced, which had been intended to give the President general authority to accept an invitation to the inter national exhibition. The substitute simply authorizes the President to accept an invita tion to the Belgian international exhibition, and to send to Antwerp the government ex hibition now at New Orleans when the New Orleans exhibition shall have been closed. The matter went over. The bill for the relief of the First National Bank of Newton, Mass., was taken up and discussed until two o'clock without reaching any action. On motion of Mr. Miller the Senate went into executive session. When the doors were re-opened the Sena'e adjourned. HOUSE. The House, under a special order, consid ered the McPherson funding bill. Mr. Henley gave notice that on Saturday he would press the Northern Pacific land grant bill. Mr. Wilkins of Ohio, gave a brief state ment of the features ot the McPherson hill and tiie causes which necessitated the passage of some such a measure. The simple provis ion of the bill was to increase the circulation of national hank notes from 00 per cent of the bonds deposited to secure 6uch circula tion to 100 per cent. Mr. Yaple of Michigan opposed the raeas ure. Every man who claimed to be a d«m crat should oppose this hill and not act as attorney for priva’e corporations. He main tained that as a matter of good faith, n 11013—ArtA^C It*. BKKTS—50c. per hush l. BP V I KK -Solid. 1ni2oc. ball, 20a35c.; cominou, 15dlSc. I'AB'.lAtiKS—80e. per cwt.

The New Age pronounces the letter evidence of a case of bribery in Knox county to the amount of S250. in 1880, but the partizan eyes of the editor of that paper are prone to see wrong doinsrs in the republican party where none exist. The letter might better have indi cated bribery, had the sum been called mules than the plain words in which it appears. Cipher dispatches and mules mean fraud every time. Plain Ian-, guage is the language of honesty. Manufacture of Ice. [From an interview in the Tribune.] When asked if ice could not be manufac tured by artificial means at a lower figure than is asked for the natural product he laughed. “Don’t let such an idea find lodgement in your brain.” he said. “The country is full of iee machines, so to speak. They are all warranted to make pure, hard ice for one dol lar a ton. I took the figures furnished me by the inventor of one of these machines and found that all tile ice made by it would cost 85 a ton. The inventor of an ice machine doesn’t want to make ice. He wants to sell machines and let others go into the unprofita ble business of ice making. MAINE LEGISLATURE Senate. Thursday, Jan. 15th. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Gledhill of Augusta. Papers from the House disposed of in con currence. A communication was received from the Secretary of State transmitting the report of the Maine State Prison for the year 1884, which was referred to Committee on State Prison. On motion of Mr. Libbey, Ordered. That the Committee on Educa tion be directed to ascertain whether any leg islation is necessary to secure a more efficient and economical supervision of schools in towns. Mr. Young submitted the following: Ordered. That the Committee on State Prison be requested to make particular exam ination into the sanitary condition of the prison and to report what improvements are necessary in heating,drainage and water sup ply, in order to render the institution reason ably safe and habitable. Mr Young, in presenting the foregoing, said he Had no wish to forestall any action that might betaken by the committee; but he thought they would find the institution a hundred years behind the times in the re spects indicated in his order, and that imme diate improvement is needed. The heating is entirely in accordance with the old system. There is no drainage. At the bottom of the old quarry pit there is a large pool which seems to contain the concen trated drainage of the prison for years. The institution has no water supply, and in case of fire the officers would either have to allow the convicts to escape or roast. Tak ing into account the condition of affairs, it looked to him as though in a short time a sentence to the State prison would be equiva lent to a sentence to capital punishment. He hoped the committee would be able to sug gest some remedy for this state of affairs. The order received a passage. On motion of Mr. Kimball, a recess was taken until 11 o’clock. At 11 o’clock the President called to order, and the Senate Adjourned. Petitions, Bills, etc. Presented and Referred. By Mr. Kimball—Petition of S. VV.

The undersigned officers of the State temperance organizations in Maine unite in calling a meeting of the friends of temperance to be held Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 28 and 29, in Union Hall, Au gusta, for the purpose of forming a State Law and Order Leagn», the special object of which shall te the enforcement of the liquor laws of the State, and to secure the enactment of such amendments to ex isting laws as may be necessary to make said laws most effective in the accomplishment of their intend ed object. It is no secret that the enemies of tem perance will endeavor to prevent the adoption of needed amendments this winter, and now having adopted the Prohibitory Amendment to our State Constitution by an overwhelming majority, seeing that in a few places the law is not as well enforced as it should be, and it having become painfully evident to all who have lAythiDgto do with the enforcement of the law that It is in many respects exceedingly defective, it is a time for our friends in Maine, of all parties and creeds, and temperance organizations,to come together in consultation and unite their efforts along the line of a clearly and wisely devised plan to exterminate the last vestige of the alcoholic liquor traffic in our State. The Maine C'eutral Railroad, and perhaps other roads, will sell round trip tickets for one fare, and an eff rt will be made to secure a reduction of hotel rates to those who attend the Convention. The first session of the Convention will be held at 10:30 A. M., Wednesday. I. Li ck, Pres, of Maine State Temp. Society. W. S. McIntike, Pres, of Maine Temp. Alli ance. Mks. l. M.N.

Orchard ami Garden. Paint the garden sash. In mild days air the pits. Give thought to the garden. Without air seeds will not grow. Raise a crop of good plans now. Don’t be swindled by tree agents. Ancient Rome had 22 varieties of apples. Gardening commences now in the Southern States. In fruit growing nothing is so really ex pensive as a poorly prepared soil. It asparagus beds were not manured in the tall, it had better be done now. Make out the seed orders early; the seeds will be no tresher from the time they were gathered, or cost any less, if ordered months later; while with early ordering there is more time for maturing all the calculations for the season. Managing the Manure.—If one would take a lesson on the relation of manuring to the successful growing of garden crops, let him look to the market gardeners who supply the city markets with vegetables and fruits. With them manure, much of it and the best that can be had, is a con stant consideration. No annual crop is taken from the land but heavy equivalent returns in the shape of manure are made. Rich as the land may be, this is piled on every year at a rate that would astonish tiie uninitiated,even though it was thought to be poor land the gardener was ‘build ing up.” Thirty to 40 tons a year of well rotted, black manure is usually applied. They get it by keeping the manure teams agoing almost the year round, picking it up in small or larjje lots wherever it can be had. Let the kitchen gardeners take a lesson from this. Horse Physiognomy. The noted horseman. Colonel M C. Weld.tells us that a horse’s head indicates his character very much as a man’s does. Vico is shown in the eye anil mouth; in telligence in the eye and the breadth be tween the ears, and between the eyes; spirit in the eye and in the pose, in the mobile nostril and active ear. The size of the eye, the thinness of the skin, mak ing the face bony, the large, open, thin edged nostril, the tine ear, and the thin, line mane and fore-top are indications oi high breeding, and accompanying high-strung, nervous organization, which, with good limbs and muscular power, ensures a considerable degree of speed in the animal. The stupidly lazy horse, that drivers call a “lunk-head,” has a dull eye usually, a narrow fore head and a contracted poll.He is not repre sented in this group, but occurs not un frequently, is always a blunderer, forgets himself, and stumbles on smooth ground, gets himself and his owner into difficul ties, calks himself, is sometimes positive ly lazy, but often a hard goer. He needs constant care and watchfulness on the driver’s part. A buyer of equine tlesh should be able to detect the good and bad qualities of the animal he contemplates purchasing. This valuable knowledge is only acquired by a careful study of the various parts of the horse physiognomy. —Pittsburg Sportsman. Signing Papers for Strangers So many farmers have suffered from doing this, that words of caution on this point would seem to be useless. Such dodges are not so often worked in New England as elsewhere; but even among the shrewd, reading New England farm ers. the scoundrel who has a harmless looking paper to be signed frequently succeeds in his villainous projects, (if course the fellow is a sleek tongueil nice, appearing person, and has his story full of sunshine and sweetness. He must have it so. and he is sharp enough to get you off your guard, and to make you be lieve that it will be all right if you sign that very innocent looking paper. Be ware. Be cautious. Do not sigu any pa per for a stranger. Be careful. Do not sign the paper. You will pay dearly for it if you do. •Tolin Brown’s Favorite Gun. On the dingy walls of one of the rooms in Burgess Newton's barytes manufactory hangs an old Sharp's rifle which was once used by “Old John Brown" in one of the riots that occurred in Kansas at the time of the anti-slavery agitation. The rifle was made in Hartford,anil was carried by the hero of Harper's Ferry for many years. He used it in Kansas for hunting buffalo, a sport of which he w as exceedingly fond. During the riot John Brown was a conspicuous figure, and he carried this rifle by his side. Somehow the gun was broken, whether dur ing a clubing scrape or not is unknown, and John Brown gave it to a man named Louis Bushway, a steward in the hotel of the place, who was his intimate friend and companion on many a hunting expedition. Bushway kept the gun. but could not get it mended at that place, as the fracture was a bad one, so he sent it to his brotln r-in law..Jacob Mathis, an engineer at Burgess Newton’s. Mr. Mathis had the gun mended at Hartford, and now prizes it very highly for its associations. “That rifle will carry a ball from here to the lighthouse,” said Mr. Mathis at his en gine room yesterday. “If you should hit a a duck with it there wouldn't be anything but j feathers left. ‘Old John Brown used to j think a great deal of that gun, poor fellow.” —A'« //area Journal.
