Enforce the Eight O’clock Ordinance.
The determination of council to en-
force the old ordinance against the
presence of boys under the age of six-
teen years on the streets, after eight
o'clock in the evening, is a good one,
and now if parents do not bave interest
enough in the welfare of their children
to keepthem home at night the police
will help them in their parental duty.
There is no reason in the world why
the youth of this town should te allow-
ed to gather on the streets after dark to
neglect their lessons, forego the bless.
ings of home influence and learn bad
from older ones, who perhaps would
not be so if they had been kept at
home more when they were young.
It has been freely commented that
Bellefonte has a larger proportion of
street loafing at night, among little
boys; than almost any other town you
can visit. Groups of children are to be
found playing under nearly every elec-
tric light'ia town, innocent ones come
in contact with the bad, contamination
soon follows and many a mother has
been almost broken hearted at hearing
her little boy use profanity for the first
time. Never thinking that she alone
is to blame for it, for had she kept him
off the streets at night he would per-
haps not have learned until the effects
of a christian home had made him
dispise, rather than look in worshipful
awe at, the bullying blasphemer.
The proper place for children under
fourteen years of age, at eight o’clock
at night, is in bed, but should they be
permitted to forego the benefits which
plenty of sleep brings to them in ¢hild-
hood, their parentsshould know where
they are and not let them run at large,
growing in vice. The police of Belle-
fonte have an opportunity now to do
the town an inestimable good and it is
to be hoped that they will enforce the
ordinance to the letter.
The Daily Gazette Discontinued.
For three years and almost a half
the daily edition of the Keystone Ga-
zelte, of this place, has been published
by Mr. J. A. FemLEr, but with the
issue of Tuesday evening the publica-
tion was indefinitely suspended, The
causes which led to its discontinuance
were at once simple and conclusive ; it
did not pay, and public spirited though
its publisher was, he found that it re-
«quired more than a pat on the shoulder
or a complimentary word to keep com-
positors and presses moving.
The Gazette will be missed in Belle-
fonte, for our town has bad a daily
publication for years and the local
news mongers will be much at a loss
to know just how to dispose of their
surplus gossip hereafter. The venture
of issuing a dailv paper has been tried
from three offices in this place; the
Republican, Democrat and Gazette, all
having found that there is neither ad-
vertising nor subscription in a town of
this size to support a good live daily,
and our people will have nothing else.
Then too the afternoon daily cannot
be more than a local paper for all the.
city papers beat it oat with the toreign
and State news,
At times during its issuance the
Duily Gazette wae pretty severely
scored for publishing questionable
news, but withal it was a good, live
little ‘journal, always enterprising
and, as compared with the papers
of many towns twice the size of
Bellefonte, a paragon. The wonder to
many, who gave the matter a thought,
was that ‘it kept its columns as well
filled as it did. The local news of
town and county was always to be
found there and now that it is no more
our people will realize what a good
little sheet it was.

He Lost Millions.
Young Charley Fair's Escapades Have Cost
Him an Inheritance— His Father's Affection—
Completely Alienated by the Son’s Prolonged
Debauches—Reported Arrest is Untrue—And
the Senator’s Son, With His Newly Wedded
Companion Are on Their Way To Other
Climes.
Sax Fraxcisco, Oct, 18.—In a few
days New Yorkers will see Charles
Lewis Fair and his bride, who have
caused such a sensation on the Pacific
coast in the last few days. They crossed
the State line at 8 o’clock last night,
and are thus safely out of the reach of
young Fair's creditors and his long
suffering parent. The report of Fair's
arrest on an insanity charge was un-
true. It deceived everybody here, and
if there was any intention to interrupt
the bridal tour it was thus effectually
defeated.
Ex-Senator Fair was too much un-
der a cloud to have any definite plans
and was too nervous to execute them
even if he did bave any. One thing,
however, he was able to declare, and
he made no secret of it. This was that
Charley Fair's recent escapades have
cost him nothing more nor less than his
inheritance. On Monday night there
was an alteration made in the old
miner's will, and the alteration cut the
young man’s 1nheritance from some-
thing like $15,000,000 to a paltry $100.
The codicil amounting to revocation
was drawn up by the ex—Senator’s at—
torney. The clause in the will by
which halt the enormous estate was to
go to Charley was stricken out and a
substitute added giving him $100. To
emphasize this action a long explana-
tion was inserted in the document.
This set forth in strong and full detail
that much of the father’s affection, oi-
ten and severely tried, had been alien-
ated by the eon’s prolonged debauch-
es, and the remainder’ had been com-
pletely eradicated by the young man’s
marriage to a disreputable woman.
Mr. Fair is not accessible, his condi-
tion being such as to preclude the pos-
sibility of any sort of a statement con-
cerning his intentions. However, he
expressed himself to a friend as being
positive that Maud Nelson only mar-
ried Charley for his prospective wealth,
and that he should do all he could to
prevent a consummation of her pur-
pose. Mrs. Fair has always been
thriity. She had saved up a good
bank account, and besides she has
with her the proceeds of the sale of her
flourishing establishment at 404 Stock-
ton street.
Before the bridal tour began Charley
drew his monthly allowance of $1,000,
and left orders with Richard V. Dey,
one of the executors of his mother's es-
tate, to send the money to him until
further orders at the Continental Hotel,
Paris. The couple are traveling by
the Southern route, and will probably
stop over a few days at Chicago.
Two Were Killed.
Fatal Accident Near Huntingdon at an Early
Hour Tuesday.
HunTinepoN, Pa., October 17.—Fol-
lowing closely the terrible and fatal ac-
cident which befell young William
Doyle, of Mount Union, near Maple-
ton Depot, yesterday morning are the
tragic deaths of Augueta Raymond
and J. C. Egolf, which occurred at
aboutthe same hour early this morn-
ing.
Augustus Raymond resided with his
four children here. He was a member
of the Pennsylvania railroad construc-
tion gang, and when about to begin the
day's operations was run down by
Pacific express just below town and
met a horrible death. The locomotive
struck him on the head, smashing it
into jelly and spilling the brains over
the track. Both legs and one arm
were broken.
Mr. Raymond wasa member of com-
pany H, Forty-ninth regiment, and
served four years in the late war. The
last year of his service he belonged to
Hancock's Veteran Legion. He came
to this place from Germany, and was
about 50 years of age.
Near Newton Hamilton, at the same
time, J. C. Egolt, aged about 25 years,
a middle division freight brakeman,
was instantly killed. Egolf fell from a
car, upon which he was riding, to the
track, and a number of cars passed
over his body, cutting it in two at the
stomach, He is a son of Porter Egolf,
of Harrisburg, a boss carpenter on the
railroad, and about six years ago re-
sided in Huntingdon: The body was
prepared for burial here and sent to
Harrisburg.
Died in Philadelphia.
Puirapzrpaia. October 17.—Colo-

The Loss Will Be In The Millions—The Fire |
Started Shortly After 8 and Several Blocks
Were Consumed Before the Flames Were Got !
ten Under Control by the Firemen.— Many
Tenements Were Burned. |
New York, October 16.—One of the
most destructive fires this city has seen
gince the great Crystal Palace fire of |
1858, occurred this evening. '
The fire extended from St. Raphael's |
Reman Catholic church on Forty-ninth
street, west of Tenth avenue, to the |
north side of Forty-second street. The
losses will amount well up into the
millions.
The fire was discovered at 8.10 p. m.
by a watchman employed by William
Campbell & Co., wholesale manufac
turers of wall paper, at 512 West
Forty-second street, and 505 West
Forty-first street. The fire started in
the boiler house and gained great head-
way before it was discovered. Itspread
to the adjoining building, occupied by
Nevins & Haviland, also wall paper
manufacturers, on Tenth avenue and
Forty-second street, Both firms were
entirely burned out. Other buildings
were No. 506 West Forty-second street,
occupied by Dr Leighton ; No. 508
West Forty-second street, occupied by
J. Wheelihan ; No. 510 West Forty-
second street, the Straphaels club
house ; No. 520 West Forty-second
street, a dwelliag; No. 522 West
Forty-second street, occupied by W.
Van Buskirk ; No. 524 West Forty—
second street, occupied by Arthur
Short ; No 526 West Forty-second
street, occupied by M. McGirr, all of
which were totally destroyed. The
boarding house run by Mrs. H. Cronin,
on 527 West Forty-second street, was
also partially destroyed.
The loss sustained by Campbell &
Co. is estimated at $500,000, but Mr.
Campbell says it will, as near as he
can figure up, reach $2,000,000.
Messrs. Nevins & Haviland lost $175,-
000, and George A. Shastey & Sons
$250,000.
The glare of the conflagration illumi-
nated the whole city. Factories, tene-
ment houses and private residences
were burned to the ground and the
efforts of the firemen were directed
early to prevent the spread of the fire
over a still larger territory.
The fire originated in the engine
room of Campbell & Co., manufactur-
ers of fine wall paper. Sexton, the
watchman who discovered the fire, ran
for a fire alarm box and sent in an
alarm. He than ran back to the build-
ing to warn four other men who were
overcome by the smoke, and a police:
man pulled him out into the street
where he soon revived. In a twinkling
the whole building was in flames, for
its inflammable contents proved the
readiest kind of fuel, while a strong
breeze helped on the destruction.
building was eight stories in height
and was built of brick. In the centre
was a lofty cupola rising. to the height
of forty feet above the roof in which
was a clock.
Philadelphia's Unemployed.
Action Taken Looking to the Relief of Distress
Among Those Out of Work.
PHILADELPHIA, October 18.—City
councils to-day took action looking to
the relief of distress among the unem-
ployed in this city by adopting a reso-
lution requesting the mayor and the
heads of departments to push forward
all municipal work, and to inform
councils what sums of money are ap-
propriated but which cannot be used
this year, so that they may be made
available for immediate use.
Whenever practicable citizens, or
those who have declared their inten-
tion of becoming such, are to be given
the preference on city work, the ordi-
nance was introduced to suspend the
laws preventing the opening of streets
after December 1. This will undoubt-
edly pass and will be the means of giv-
ing employment to many men who
would otherwise be compelled to
remain idle during the winter months.
Ap important meeting of the Citizens
Permanent Reliet association was
held at the mayor's office this after-
noon, at which representatives of all
the benevolent organizations of the
city were present, The fact was
brought out that applications for relief
from unemployed and delicate persons
has increased between 20and 40 per
cent. All indications point to a great
deal of distress among the poor during
the coming winter and the citizens’
committee, which has a large fund on
hand, will do allin its power through
the organized charitable association to
thoroughly canvass the city aud re
lieve all cases of distress that may pre
sent themselves.
A Rabid Anti-Catholic Speech.
BevrrasT, October 18.—Dr. Kane, the
Orange grand master, made a rabid
anti-Catholic speech at the national
protestant congress in this city to-day.
Rome, he said, demanded that the state
establish and endow an ultramontane
university in Ireland, but hoped that
he would never see the disgusting’
spectacle of an English statesman con-

Foreign Ships to Land Troops.
European Intervention in the Civil War in Bra-
2il— Martial Law is Enforced.— Another Vic-
tory Has Been Won by the Revolutionists in
Rio Grande do Sul—President Peixoto Is Try-
ing to Buy a Swift Cruiser from the Argentine
Republic. Many Foreigners Have Been Kill
ed by the Insurgents.
:
MONTEVIDEO, Oct. 16. —Foreign war-
ships in the harbor of Rio Janeiro are
likely to intervene in the civil war, and
land troops, according to tae New
York Herald's correspondent. Martial
law is more rigidly enforced there now
than at any time since Adruiral Mello’s
squadron declared war against President
Peixoto.
Another victory has been won by the
revolutionists in Rio Grande do Sul.
In an engagement near Quarhay the
Castilhistas were routed with heavy
losses. Two of the best officers of the
revolutionary army were killed.
The newspapers here say that Peixoto
is trying to buy from the Argentina the
swift cruiser, Twenty-fifth of May, with
which to strengthen his naval forces.
Peixoto has formally protested to the
government of Argentina against allow-
ing the steamer Cuidad de Porto to
leave for Rio with arms and ammuni-
tion for Admiral Mello’s forces.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
NEw YoRK, Oct. 16.—The Herald's
correspondent at Montevideo cables the
following :
Advice bas been received here stating
that the Brazilian armored cruises, Sete
de Setmbro, which was bound for Rio to
join Admiral De Mello’s forces, ran
ashore near Praia Grande. All thecrew
escaped safely, but as soon as they land-
ed they were made prisoners by Peix-
oto’s forces which were stationed there.
Further details of the bombardment
of Rio have been received. The govern-
ment forces suffered heavy losses, but
the government is suppressing all re-
ports of the casualties. The rebel ad-
miral’s flagship opened the bombard-
ment. There was a contest for the pos-
session of the government workshops of
Armaco between the revolutionary for-
ces and those of the government. When
De Mellos realized that he could not ob-
tain possession of them peaceably he
opened fire. The bombardment was
very destructive, and many buildings
were badly damaged. Residents of the
city fled in terror. Several of the shells
from the insurgent fleet struck in the
heart of the city, killing many of the
inhabitants. A shell from the Traiado
wrecked the buildings occupied by the
Rio News and the American Bible soc-
iety. Many toreigners were killed and
wounded.
Among the buildings which suffered
greatly from the bombardment was the
police barracks, which was situated near
the custom house. The government
forces numbered 2,000 and replied vig-
orously to the fire from the fleet, The
land batteries had a few old Krupp
guns mounted, and these were trained
on the rebel fleet, but none of the rebel
ships were injured. The insurgent fleet
also bombarded Nichteroy, Domingos,
Icarahy and Santa Rosa, suburbs of
Rio. The fire on all of them was de-
structive to property. It is also known
that there was great loss of life, but the
facts are suppressed by the government
officials.
Advices have been received of a sharp
engagement between a detachment of
the revolutionary forces and govern-
ment troops near Ponta de Caja. The
rebels were short of coal for their ships
and sent a detachment to capture a sup-
ply which they knew was at that point.
The land forces waited until the enemy
got within range and opened fire. The
contest lasted but a short time, when
the land batteries were silenced. The
naval detachment then captured the
coal.
Owing to the English interests being
involved, complaint was made of the
attack to British Minister Wyndham.
in Rio. He detailed Captain Lang to
make an investigation. After close in-
quiry he reported that there had been
beavy losses, and that several of the
government troops had been killed in
the engagement.
Captain Boyton the American who
was captured by the English war ships
in attempting to blow up the Agquida-
ban, is boasting that the government
paid him $10,000 for making the at-
tempt.
Sandbagged and Robbed.
A Harrisburg Man the Victim of a Trio of Thugs
in Chicago.
CHuicago, Oct 15.—Hiram Stern, of
Harrisburg, Pa., was the victim of a trio
of Chicago thugs night before last and
barely escaped with his life. Stern was
on his way from Carbon, Wyo., where
he has a large ranch. He says that as
he had several hours to wait for his
train he left-the Union Depot and stroll-
ed out on the streets.
‘When near the corner of Canal and
Madison streets he was suddenly struck
from behind by what is thought to have
been a sandbag. Although not render-
ed unconscious he was dazed for a
moment and his assailants, who were
three in number, overpowered him and
rifled his pockets, securing nearly $250,
every cent of his money, his baggage
checks, railroad ticket and valuable pa-
pers. He did not know a person in the
city and being wholly without means
was obliged to call on the police for as-
sistance until he could get word to his
friends.
Small-pox in New York.
Johann Most's Reputed Wife Itt With the Dis-
ease. ie
NEw York, October 15.—A woman
who gave the name of Mrs. Lizzie Most
was this morning taken from 266 Wil-
liams street, where she was 1ll with
small-pox, and sent to North Brothers
Island.
The woman has for the past six years
lived with Johann Most, the Anarchist,
as his wife, at No, 266 Williams street.
Last Thursday she went to call on a
friend, and on her return told Most that
she had seen a little child very sick with
fever and that she herselt felt 111.
On Saturday the woman’s condition
became so bad that a doctor was called.
The physician at once diagnosed the
case as one of small-pox and notified
the health authorities. Three other!
cases of small-pox were discovered in |
the tenement quarter to-day by the
health officials.
Mello’s Revolt.
A History of it From the Beginning Until thy
Present Time.
New York, October 17.—The steam-
ship Horrox arrived here to-day from
Rio Janeiro and brings a budget
of news about the revolt of Admiral
Mello’s navy. The Horrox was at Rio
from September 22. Part of this time,
Captain Cardogaun eays, was out of the
stream. The revolt broke out on Sep-
tember 6, but few shots were fired into
the city of Rio during the time the Hor-
rox was in port. There was however,
a considerable bombardment of Nath-
eroy, a suburb of Rio, across the bay,
which place is the dwelling place of
the wealthy merchants of the city. An
arsenal located there was the object of
attack. It was shelled by the rebel
vessels and it is reported that 400 peo-
ple had been killed. This however,
could not be confirmed, as the ferry ser-
vice between Rio and Natheroy was
cut off by the rebel fleet. There was
heavy musketry firing over the harbor.
It proceeded from the rebels who
sought to harass the land force.
Wherever a body of soldiers were
thought to be stationed, some of the
boats would go near the shore and an
effort be made to route them with small
arms. Bullets were constantly whiz-
zing over the water aud of course some
of them struck the shipping. Rarely
did a big shot or shell endanger the
foreign vessels,
During the time small launches go
about toe harbor with armed marines.
There is constant firing from them.
Everything Brazilian afloat is in the
hands of Mello’s forces. The foreign
vessels anchored in “the stream have
much difficulty shipping a cargo and
there are no tugs or steamboats to pull
out the loaded lighters.
Captain Cardogan says that there
was a state of panic at Rio. The banks
would close in fright one day and open
the next to close again the following
day. Every one was uncertain as to
the true state of affairs. All were
anxious. The rebels had a partial
blockade of the port. All craft flying
the Brazilian colors were seized, but
foreigners were not molested.
An editorial in the Rio News, of
September 14, criticizes the United
States government for its failure to
keep one or more naval vessels at Rio.
The Limited Wrecked.
PirrsBuraH, Pa., October 17.—
Four deaths have resulted from the col-
lision of the Pennsylvania limited with
a freight train in the yards of the Cleve-
land and Pittsburgh railroad at Wells-
ville, Ohio, early this morning. The
dead are: : :
George Carruthers, engineer, acting
as pilot for the limited, instantly killed,
leaves a widow and large family.
Robert A. Jackson, engineer. of the
limited, terribly scalded and died after
four hours of terrible suffering. “His son
Elmer, fireman of the limited, was also
frightfully scalded, arms and limbs
broken-and head cut; died within a few
minutes.
Robert Ferree, express messenger, of
New Philadelphia, O., both legs crushed
and otherwise injured. Died while
being taken howe. ? :
The injured are : Fy
Edward Fowler, train electrician,
Chicago, both legs crushed and other-
wise injured.
Alexander Frazier, Bellevue, Pa.,
baggage master, badly scalded and hurt
internally. !
Daniel Coughanour, engineer of the
freight train, badly burt by jumping.
The passengers on the limited were
badly frightened. None, however were
seriously injured.
No authentic story of the wreck has
yet been received at the general office.
From the meagre details received the
dense fog prevailing is considered res-
ponsible for the accident. The crash
occurred at the west end of the Wells-
ville yard. The freight train was cros-
sing the track, almost at right angles
with the approaching train. The crew
of the freight train saw their danger in
time to jump. The employes of the
freight train claim that the danger sig-
nals were set to hold the limited without
the block until their train had pulled
out of the way. The supposition is that
the engineer failed to see the signal
lights on account of the fog.
Salisbury Talks.
He Says There Are Graver Subjects Than the
Home Rule Bill.
LownpoxN, Oct. 17.—Lord Salisbury,
speaking at Preston to-night, denounc-
ed the action of the Government in
driving the home rule bill through the
House of Commons to the exclusion of
graver subjects. He instanced the
great coal strike as a matter of much
larger importance than Irish home
rule. Lord Salisbury said that the at-
tack on the House of Lords was a cow-
ardly expedient to avoid consulting the
countrv. Headmitted that the House
of Lords was not right, bat he ingisted
that its existence was necessary to
guard against one-man power. If
however, the home rule does not ap-
pear at the next session of Parliament,
it must be regarded as having been
abandoned. In examining this meas:
ure you will not only consider its et-
fects upon the finances of the country
and the destruction of the liberties ot
the House of Commons, butits weighty
external effects. You would be weak-
er in every negotiation and weaker oa
every shore of Europe directly you al-
lowed an alien, hostile and independent
nation to establish itself beside you.
Your imperial power is in question.
It you look around you will see the
necessity for maintaining the power and
prestige of England. Ifyou will con-
sider what has been passing in Asia,
and what is now passing in the Med-
iterranean, you must agree that thisis
not the moment when England should
put off her armor or appear in the
sight of foreign nations weaker than
she has been.

Train Run Wild,
The Air Brakes Refuse to Work and the Sec-
ond Section of a Train Ploughs Through the
First—Many Killed.
Jackson, Michigan. October 13 —
A terrible wreck occurred this morning
about 9 o'clock, one hundred yards east
of the passenger depot at this city.
Hacks and undertakers’ wagons are rap-
idly taking away the dead and wound-
ed. An excursion train from the east
was standing at the depot when another
excursion train pulled in. The engineer
lost control of his air brakes and could
not stop his train and it rushed at a rate
of forty miles an hour into the train
ahead, plowing under and throwing the
cars in all directions. Nine cars are in
the ruin and the engine is smashed.
The number of dead is now placed at
eighteen.
The cars are terribly smashed, two of
them being thrown across the track.
One car was driven completely through
another and the others were turned en-
tirely over. Thousands of people were
aboard the two trains and they were
wedged in, in all kinds of shapes. Some
of the cars were badly enough wrecked
to kill all of the people on board them,
and it is miraculous, considering the
shape the cars were left in that any at
all escaped without injury.
Following are the dead and injured
who have been identified : The dead
are Maggie McMasters, Penn Yan, N.
Y.; Mrs. N. Bardsley, Canton, Pa.;
Miss Harriet Breece, Pine City, N. Y.;
Sugie Hadley, Warrior Run, Pa.;
