The most disastrous fire known in the history of Sunbury since the burn ing of the Oppenheimer block on Market street occurred last Sunday evening, when the large planing null owned by Ira Clement went up 111 flames, causing a loss of $as,ooo. It is not definitely known how the fire originated, but a suspicion prevails that aunng the heavy storm which swept over the city in the afternoon lightning struck the wires attached to the mill and was conveyed to the in- tenor. When once fairly started nothing could save it. Several per sons who were passing about 8:30 o clock noticed smoke issuing from the front of the building. The alarm was sounded, and al though the fire companies were quick to respond, the names had penetrated the shed filled with shavings and the interior was all ablaze. The mill is located at the corner of Race and Third streets, and after finding that it was useless in trying to save the mill the firemen turned their attention to the nearby dwellings and succeeded in keeping the leaping flames from doing any damage. About 3,000 people witnessed the burning of the mill and the vicinity of Race and Third streets was crowded until ten o'clock. The mill was the most valuable one owned by Ira Clement. 10fM)00 a Year. This is the rate at which Commis sioner Raum still unremoved boasts that he is increasing the list of pension ers. In a letter to an Ohio Congressman, for campaign use with the professional pension-hunters, Raum says that there are before him "a grand total of 929,4 26 pending claims." And he has "set the office the task of issuing 350,000 cer tificates during the present fiscal year, which will be an increase of 100,000 over the work of the last fiscal year. and the work of the fiscal year just closed (June 30th) showed an increase of nearly one hundred thousand certifi cates over any previous year.', Is not this a beautiful outlook for the Treasury and the taxpayers ? More than a quarter of a centurv after the close of the war, and fifteen years after Grant and Garfield said the list of pensioners had reached its maximum, there are nearly a million claims pending 391,482 more than the total number of pensioners in 1890 1 Ana kaum is rushing them through at the rate of 350,000 a year. As 538,000 pensioners cost last year $124,500,000, a simple sum will show the trustworthiness of Raum's cam paign assurance that the addition of 350,000 more names will not increase the cost above the $133,173,000 ap propriated. There is danger ahead. World. For Over Fifty Tears- It has been said that skillful adver tising will accomplish wonders, and this is partly true, for it is no uncom mon thing to see various nostrums achieve a brief notoriety in this way. But they do not outlast the notices that heralded them. Thus it is that the mercurial and potash remedies are constantly appearing before the public in new disguises. Advertising, how ever, will not account for the populari ty that S. S. S. has enjoyed for fifty years, nor for the fact that it has be- become a household remedy : nor will advertising account for the thousands of testimonials that the people have given in its behalf. Only the most substantial merit can account for the estimation in which this wonderful medicine is held. The Milton Fair.
