After giving U-No tonic a fair trial I now sleep well, eat heartily and feel like a new man. Those afflicted as I was should try U-No tonic.

One of the most remarkable dams in the world for height and construction, says the Bailway Beview, is that by which the Fyrnwy river, Northern Wales, is enaDied supply water to the city of Liverpool, some seventy miles distant.

in building this dam a great trench was first excavated across the valley for a length of 1,100 feet, a width of 120 and a maximum depth ot sixty. The masonry was started in this trench; it consists or immense irregular blocks of slate, wedged together and thoroughly bedded in Portland cement mortar, the faces being formed of cut stone blocks fitted together with great care, the greatest height of the dam being 161 leet. Its most remarkable feature is the lack of any chan nel to carry off floods, the surplus in the lake flowing down the front of the dam, which is curved to permit as free a descent as possible and prevent the formation of eddies at the bottom. The lake formed by this dam covers an area four and three-quarter miles long.from one-quarter to five-eighths of a mile wide and holds largely over 12,000,000 gallons.

Mrs. Hanger, it seems, recognized Constable Hamilton as one of the parties who was the house and helped commit the crime, but until to-day Mr. Hauger was afraid to make information lest his friends did him and his family harm. The affair has created considerable excitement in the little mountain town. Constable Hamilton is a brother of Colonel Hamilton, who was re cently sent to the penitentiary from this county.

Herbert son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Ii. Carpenter, of 136 Vine street, Johnstown, and a cousin of Depot Gateman George Car penter, of this city, died at the Indiana State Normal school Monday afternoon, his death having been caused by pneumonia.

He had been in attendance at the school since the early part of September and had intended leaving in a few days to spend his Christmas vacation at his home, Herbert was quite an athlete, and it was during a foot ball game at the Indiana school about three weeks ago that he was accidentally kicked in the side. He retired from the game at the rime and did not think much more of his injuries until a tew days after, when an abscess formed and con tinued to increase in size quite rapidly. It is the opinion ot the attending physi cian that this abscess superinduced tne at tack of pneumonia which followed and from which young Carpenter suffered about a week. Monday atternoon word was re ceived that his condition was critical. At 6.30 another telegram was received stating that Herbert had died about 5 clock.

Mr. Carpenter was about 18 years of age and was born and raised in Johnstown. He was the only child of Mr, and Mrs. A. L.

Carpenter. The remains were brought to the parents home in Johnstown yesterday from which place the funeral will occur on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Lewis Morrison "Faust." Mr. Lewis Morrison will present his fa mous scenic and dramatic version or 'Faust" at the Eleventh Avenue opera house on Saturday night, December 16. Mr.

Morrison is an actor of established merit. He has a voice which, without labor or affectioD, is both commanding and "penetrating and a personality that takes on the wardrobe and makeup of Mepbisto in a way that makes him ideal. His impersonation adheres closely to Goethe's familiar and very interesting story, but his treat ment ot the part is a great improvement on any that has yet been seen in opera or drama. Satan, as represented by him, is a smooth-faced, plausible person, who mixes with mortal mankind with a cheerful abandon that makes the character easy to comprehend; the lines in Morrison's version are bright and sparkling and his rendition of them is delightfully sardonic. He is, in short, as engaging a devil as one could wish to see.

The staging of the piece is little short of phenomenal. The scenery and mechacical tiiects are exceedingly strong. Electricity plays a prominent part in the production. It is eminently spectacular but at the same time notable for superior dramatic and artistic worth. It is sensational only where sensation is per fectly legitimate in conjunction with his satanic majesty.

Sr. Huston's Resignation. Dr. W. T.

Huston, who has been resident physician at the Altoona hospital during the past two years and a half, has tendered his resignation which is to terminate his relations at that institution as soon as his successor is appointed. We are pleased to say, however, that it is not the doctor tention to remove from the city, as he will open an office and engage in the practice of his profession here. During his term of service at the hospital Dr. Huston has proven himself an apt stadent both in med icine and surgery and by his always cour teous treatment of visitors and patients he has won many friends who will wish him success in his new field.

Resolutions Passed- THE CASE OF REV. W. A. JACKSON The presbytery of Huntingdon met in accordance with the call of the moderator in the First presbyterian church of Tyrone at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and was constituted with prayer by the moderator, Bev. John W.

Bain. In the absence of the recording clerk, Rev. J. E. Irvine was elected clerk pro.

tern. The roll was made out by the clerk and the following members found to be present: Ministers J. W. Bain, J. H.

Mathers, H. G. Furbay, D. H. Barron, D.

William Prideaux, George B. Trout, J. Irvine, H. C. Baskerville and Bev.

W. S. Young. Elder V. J.

Caldwell. The request for the call for the meeting of presbytery and the moderator's notice of meeting were read by the clerk and found in order. Bev. W. A.

Jackson was at his own request dismissed to the Allegheny conference of the United Brethren in Christ, and the stated clerk of the presbytery was directed to grant him a letter of dismissal to that body. Rev. F. T. Wheeler made request that the pastoral relations existing between himself and the churches of lrvona and Coaiport be dissolved that he might accept a call from the church of New Bloomtleld, presbytery of Carlisle.

Mr. Wheeler gave as his principal reasons for the request the sveritv of the climate and the labor re- ouired in his present field. As a result of these combined causes his health has been impaired, and his future efficiency in the ministry demanded a change. The congregations were heard through their commissioners. Many of his people opposed his going.

Those who gave their consent did so the most reluctantly. After the request had been discussed by several mmhers of Presbvtery it was granted, the nanr.nra.1 relation was dissolved to take effect January 1, and the following resolution was nassed: "That, we aDDreciate the Ivaluable labors of Bev. F. T. Wheeler in the churches of lrvona and Coalport and commend the fidelitv of these churches in their relations with him and while we dissolve the pas toral relations existing between them we do so reluctantly." The stated clerk of the presbytery was directed to erant Mr.

Wheeler a letter of dismissal, with the usual testimonials, to the nresbvterv of Carlisle. Bev. J. H. Mathers was appointed to preach and de clare the pulpits vacant and to act as mod erator of the seesion.

The churches were granted leave to supply themselves uatil next meeting of presbytery. Presbytery voted to adjourn, and after the minutes were read and approved the meeting closed with prayer by the moderator. FISE AT STOYESTOWN. ProDertv Valued at 840,000 Was stxoyed by the Flames. The Johnstown Herald under date of December 12 says: "At about half-past 9 o'clock last even ing Are was discovered in the hay lofs of the barn of Josiah Specht, dealer in general merchandise, flour, at Sprucetown, Stoyestown station.

In a very short time the flames communicated to his large store building, which contained one of the largest merchandise stocks carried by any one merchant in Somerset county. A vary small amount of goods was recovered therefrom. Soon the flames spread from the store building to his large roller noar- ing mill, and in a short time, owing to the lush wind, it was doomed, with its many thousands of bushels of breadstuffs, food and machinerv. "The mills contained about 4,000 bushuls of wheat, 1,000 bushels of corn, a large amount of rye, buckwheat, etc. From the nuuring mills the angry flames soon reached and enveloped tne posiomce Duiiuicg, known as Kantner's and occupied by William Suiter, postmaster, and also by Mr.

Specht as a wareroom. At this juncture all hands were turned to save the residence of Mr. Specht and a dwelling house ownad bv Pearson Lohr. Both seemed doomed for a time, but after a most daring struggle both buildings were saved, although the windows and roof of Mr. Specht's residence are scarcely recognizable.

"Stoyestown fire laddies, who had ben there before, did effective work. Through this fire Stoyestown will probably lose one of its best business men and places, jut. Specht loses about 840,000 on store, barn, mill, postoffice, dwelling house and their contents, which were almost totally de-stroved. About S3.000 of his loss is covered by insurance on the store and dwelling house. They were insured in the American, of Philadelphia.
