Soon tho garments were nil ablaze, and
seeing the child's perilous position the rest
of the children ran out of the house and

arrived, however, all the child's clothing
had been consumed by the lire nnd the

in the room when the accident occurred
were so scared that they wero unable to

wa3 certainly awakened on Wednesday
morning, of last week by tho awful pies
enco of u monster snow to the depth of n
few inches. Tho cold North-East wind
gave warning of its approach. The divine
injunction "Ho yo therefore ready," is very
applicable to tho inclement season about to
bo ushered upon us, "For in such an hour
as yo think not," yo may bo frozen up and
snowed under. Therefore It Is highly im
portant that outdoor work is properly
shaped fuel and clothlm; secured, coin nn.l
fodder housed, stock sheltered, and the
comforts of man nnd beast provided for in
due season. Otherwise nil these things
will necessarily be attended to with much
inconvenience and expeuse with great loss

At 10:30 o'clock mounted marshals were
galloping back and forth In performance
of their duties, to get the parade In march
ing order. It was after 11 o'clock before
the procession started from Fiftli street
whero It was formed. There was a long
string of wagons nnd horsemen, many of
them bearing banners with mottoes and
sharp hits. A boat containing n motley
crew, represented tho republican party
going up Salt Hlvcr. The Uloomsburg
Hand headed the Hue in Huckulcws' band
Wagon drawn by four horses. There were
many wagons each drawn by four'horscs,
and containing delegations from different
townships. Thu bad condition of the roads
prevented many delegations from coming
In ns they Intended. Hut for this the dem
onstration would have been the largest ever
witnessed here.
The parade wns under the direction of
U. H. Ent, Chief Marshal, and the follow
ing assistants :
Dr. H. F. Gaiduer, C. S. Furtnun, J. II.

The line of march was as follows : Fifth
to East, to Fourth, lo Market, to Third, to
East, to Main, and thence to the Fair
grounds. Owing to tho wet condition of
tliu Fair gi omuls, the procession did not
stop there, but came back to Market street
where it disbanded, and the announcement
was made that a meeting would be held In
tho Opera House M 2.30 o'clock.
THE SI'KECIIES.
At 2:30 o'clock thu Opera House was
packed full. It hud been announced that
General McClellun would bu present,
among others, nnd every effort was put
forth by the committee to secure his at-
tendance, but he was unnblt to come. A
number of other piomlneut men were in
vited, but the only ones who responded
favorably were Judgo E. L. Dana and Jo
seph D. Coons Esq., of Wilkesbarre.
Col. Freeze, in calling the meeting to or
der, said : "It gives me great pleasure to
call this meeting to order, nnd to be allow.
ed also to name to you n presiding olllccr
for your deliberations, I shall submit to
you tliu name of a gentleman who for more
than a quarter ot a century has labored in
the cause, and has freely given ids time
and his money to the success of tho party,
Its measures and its men. During this
period he has uniformly been chosen us
our delegate to the National Convention ;
and he has, lu each Presidential year, beeu
at the head of the County organization as
Chairman of tho County Committee. It is
eminently fitting, therefore, that now,
when success has crowned our efforts, ha
should preside at this meeting assembled
to celebrate our victory. I name to you,
fellow citzens, as tho Chairman, David
Lowenberg, of Illoomsburg." The nomi
nation wns ro.elved with tumultuous
cheers, nud during their continuance Mr.
Lowenberg assumed the chnir. By re.

The following gentlemen wero appointed
u committee to escort the speakers to tho
meeting i Charles G. Harkley, John M.
Smith, Hon. James Lake. Durlug the ab
sence of tho committee the Hand played an
lueplrlng ulr, ami on tho return of tho
committee with Ueu Edmund L. Dana and
Jos. H. Coons Esq., they wero received
with great applause. Tho Chairman then
Introduced Mr. Coons, who said i That it
gavo him great pleasuro to meet tho Dc
mocracy of old Columbia on this ausplc.
tons occasion. That slnco he had becomo
a voter, wo had ever been beaten, and
this was so new an experience to him ho
hardly knew how to behavo or what to say.
Tho speaker then discussed atsomu length,
and with great thoiightfulness, tho ques.
Hon of what Bhoiild bo tho course of tho
incoming administration the full mean.
Ing of our victory, thu requirements of tho
people nnd the political duty of tho hour j
and closed with u stirring congratulation
to the party on Its success, on Its opportu.
nlty foi administrative reform, and the
necessity that the reform should bo full
mil complete.
The address was received with great
demonstrations of satisfaction, After the
applause had subsided tho Chairman in.
trouduced tho next speaker, Geu, E. I,.
Dana. Ho wns received with great cor.
illullty, for among the iiudieucu wero some
persons who had known him In the wnr
with Mexico In 1840, as well ns some who
served iindor him in tho "11110 unpleasant
ness." Ho began by complimenting thu
old guard of Colunaiu for lis long faithful.
ness In tho party that In the darkest
uours ot uie political Horizon the old guurd
always stood lu the breach nud rolled up
her majorities for tho cause of honest gov.
eminent though oltsu defeated, never
faltering when the Irumpet soundeil and
ihu column moved to the attack, As lu
tho deadly conflict ,,f the battle field, there
rmiiiiiifiirnr
was a fierce joy In tho coming onset, lu
the roar of artillery nnd tho shouting
of the captains, so In tho more peaceful
contests of the civil ntena, there was ex.
cltemcnt and pleasure nnd In this case,
heightened when the contest was over by
the splendid success on n well. fought field.
Against place, power, position, money and
a hundred thousand nfllco holders, their
uncles their cousins nnd their aunts, the
Democracy had succeeded nnd lo that
success the old guard of Colunfbln had
very largely contributed by Its unflinching
devotion and splendid voting. Gen. Dana
then revlowcd the political history nt the
Itepubllcan party nt so.no length, com
pared It and Its policy with those of the
Democratic party, humorously alluded to
tho funeral orations which hnvo been pro
nounced upon us by tho Republicans, and
adding that even In our supposed death
the Democracy wcro tc'rrible to the Repub
licans, as many of them were afraid ot
dead people. He pointed out the corrupt
ing Influences which had destroyed the
Republicans, and warned tho Democracy
ngalnst them. Expressed his confidence
In the firmness as well as the honesty of
President Cleveland, nnd assured tho audi
ence that tho same vigor which had re
deemed the city of Buffalo and the State of
Now York from plunderers, would rescue
the National government, nnd return It to
honesty and economy.
Tendering his thanks to the iiulcrrllled
Democracy of Columbia for giving him
this opportunity of addressing them on
this ocenston, lie trusted that four years
hereafter wo might be permitted to Join In
a second similar meeting, having fulfilled
our pledges to the people, and restored the
country to peace, quiet and prosperity.

The crowning event of the day was the
ovcnlng procession. Soon after six o'clock
Miiln street became thronged with torch
bearers, and before seven the procession
was formed on Market street. There were
aver one thousand torches lu line. Owing
to the muddy condition of Iho roads those
on foot took tho sidewalk. The Ulooms
burg Band rode in Bucknlcws' bund wag
on, followed by about 300 horsemen, and
numerous wagons. A delegation from
Berwick brought a band from that place,
and one of the most striking features of
the parade was a small steamboat which
came from Berwick, on the canal. It was
pluccd on wheels, nnd kept up a constant
tooting of Its whistle, while red lire burn
ed upon Its stern ns It was hauled through
the streets. The town was literally paint
ed red, us the glare from tho burning col
ored tires cast their bright rays in every di
rection. Main street represented a huge
conflagration us these lights shone from
Dr. Housu's olllce, the Exchange hotel,
J. F. Caldwell's, D. Lowenbcrg's, Gil
more's, Locknrd's, Dr. Gardner's, nnd
other points.
All along the lino tho residences of Dem
ocrats were brilliantly, uud many of them
elaborately Illuminated. It would bo Im
possible so particularize, us an attempt to
name those who showed their appreciation
of Uie occasion would Include nearly every
Democratic property owner in town.
Chinese lanterns, flags, colored windows,
and red fires appeared at every turn, nnd
wcro greeted by the enthusiastic paradcrs
with shouts of applause, and long contin
ued hurrahs.
Thu line of mnrcii was as follows : Up
Main to Norinul School, countermarch to
East, thencu to Sixth, countermarch to
Fifth, thence to Market, thence to Third,
thence to West, thence to -Main, thence to
Leonard, thence to Third and Railroad
streets, thence to Main, thence to Market,
thence to Third, thence to Centre, thence
to Fifth, thencu to Cutharlnc, thence to
Fourth, thence to iron, thencu to Frst,
thence to .Market, thence to Main.
For two hours tho parade and enthusi
asm were kept up, nnd when at last it was
over, the unanimous verdict of tho Democ
racy wns that It was tho grandest display
of the kind ever witnessed in Hloomsbuig.
Representative Democrats from all parts
of the county wcro preseut and helped to
swell the crowd.
A word to Hie wise. Tho most complete
uud vurled stock ot Fall and Winter goods
can now be seen at the popular store of
David Lowenberg.
