KKIOAV, JI NK 16, iS.)j. The old Ford Theatre in Washing ton, where President Lincoln was as sassinated in April 1S65. collapsed without a moment's warning last Fri day, killing twenty one people, and injuring many more. It was purchas ed by the government soon after the death of Lincoln, and was used for government offices, and all the killed and injured were clerks. The build ing was declared unsafe for use as long ago as 1885, but continusd to be occupied. The accident occurred on the day that the funeral of F.dwm Booth was he'd, whose life was darken ed by the crime of his brother, John Wilkes Pooth. It is supposed that the fall of the building was occasioned by the undermining of the walls by workmen who were setting up an electric light plant in the cellar. The friends of Ex-Senator McAteer, of Huntingdon county, are making a gallent fight for him for the position of Naval Officer at Philadelphia, says the Bcllefonte tkmocrati? Wtiti'fitha'n. For this jvosition some half a dozen or more candidates have been presented, all doubtless good men and possibly deserving, but among the whole list we know of none whose success would be more gratifying to the people gen erally, particularly of that section, than that of Mr. ' McAteer, adds the Watchman. He has filled a number of important positions, and has filled them welL He is at present a trustee of the Huntingdon Reformatory and a member of the World's Fair com mittee from this State. Goveruo Faitison ?ctoed six bills last Saturday. One of these proposed to prohibit the peddling, selling or hawking merchandise or "other goods in the state without a license, and in vetoing it the governor says he re girds it as "a most vexatious and op pressive interference with the free operations of legitimate business." and as "a most unwise and unjust d.scri. initiation against the citizens, manu factures and merchants of our own state." Another bill was intended to pre vent the pev!d;.ng. selling or luwkirg 01 product and merchandise in cities of the second and third classes with out license. The governor ives these reasons for the disapproval cf the bill: "No justification whatever exists for legislation of this special and particu lar character. If there is anv reason why the hawking or peddling of teas and spices without license is contral to public policy, the same reasons must prevail for restrictions upon the like sales of hundreds of other article! in cities of all classes, and there is 110 warrant for such classification and special discrimination." The governor also vetoed the bill enlarging the duties and powers of the fire maxsiul of Alleghney county for the reasons that the act is local and special, and it also orlends against article three section eight of the con stitution, which provides that no bill except general appropriation bills shall be passed containing more than one subject, which shall be clearly express, ed in the title. The bill to authorise cities to make appropriations for the esubLsement and maintenance of free hbr uies and to acquire, by condemnation, eligible sites for their location was vetoed. The governor also vetoel the act ma -.r.i an appropriation to the State agricultural society. In d-sapproving it, he sa : -This bill proposes to make an appreciation of to the Pennsylvania state agricultural so ciety, a private association not under the control of the commocwealth and organised for profit." After quoting a veto message of Governor Beaver of a bill inwlving the same principle, the governor sa s : "This statement cf the case is in accordance with views frequently expressed in regard to similar appropriations by the present executive dar.r.g this and his former term. They need not be enlarged nor repeated I regard all such 'appro priation as a: variance with the letter and spirtt cf the constitution, and feel conra:r.e-d to veto them regardless of the jter.cral worthiness of tSrir obect and my sympathies with the purposes they are intended to serve. Another Vill vetoed trovided an a t-roprlation to aid the several coorties ui the construction. improvement and uiaintenor.ee of public roads and pi vided the manner of distribution there of. These reason are given for the toveruor'a activMi s Tii rretrt n. onion of the revenues of the coaimou- weaith atvd tho laerease in the appro IVUtion for fuMie tchoo! renJer it doubtful whether the condition of the state's finances would warrant this un usual expenditure for public roads ; but even if it should be certain that the money could be spared from the pub lie treasury, it is well known that this appropriation was based upon and in tended to meet the requirements of other proposed road legislation, which failed of enactment, and, therefore, this bill is not required." In approving trie bill for the incor poration of drainage companies, the governor makes the following stale. ment : "I have given my approval to this bill notwithstanding certain clum siness and carelessness on the part of the transcribing clerks, by which, in the copy presented for my signature, certain paragraphs in the re enacting clauses have been unnecessarily re peated." He then iroe on to s.iv : "Th condition of this and some other bills submitted to me with like defects af fords additional grounds for condem nation of the usual procedure of pass ing bills with undue luste and reck lessness during the closing days of the session. The eovcrnor aimroved senate bill c- 1 1 to provide for the quieting of titles to land, and in doimz so took occasion again to refer to the blunders of the transcribing clerks.

Judge Locliren, Commissioner of Pensions, with the approval of Secre tary Hoke Smith, has issued the fol lowing important order as to adjudica ting and fixing rates of pension under the act of June 27, 1S00: "1 A claim for pension under the second section of the act of June 27, 1S00, can only be allowed upon proof of mental or physical disability of a permanent character, not the result of the claimants own vicious habits, in capacitating him from the perform ance of manual labor in such a degree as to render him unable to earn a sup port '1 Proof that the disability is not the result of the claimant's own vicious habits is requisite, and therefore the causes and circumstances of the origin of the disability should be shown by the evidence furnished in support for the claim for a pension, so far as can be done, and by persons other than the claimant "aTo cive the claimant a pen sionable status under th.s act. the dis ability be such ..s incapacitates him hem the per.orr.i.UK-e ot manual labor in sV.ch a decee as to render hira un able to ear:-, a up-vrt ; vet the act recognires ditierences in the degrees of such per. . on ab' e disability, giving yi j per uioni.i in case ot tnc great est, and j per month asc of the lowest degree of such pensionable dis ability rendering the Coimanl unable to earn a support by manual labor. It also provides for intermediate ratln.s. proportioned to the intermediate de grees ot such pensionable disability. ine proper rating under this act will therefore, be made in accordance with such rules for rating as the medical reteree shaJ prescribe, subject to the approval or tne Commissioner. wmggaos una Was:xgtvw, June, it iSgj. If the Conrress of the United States were liable to criminal indict ment it would have to stand trial on the charge of murder in the first de gree lor naving kide4 the a employes of the Surgeon General's orcce who lost their lives by the falling of the noon ot torus ou theatre, where Lincoln was assassinated, which oc curred last Friday, a catastrophe which can never be "forgotten by any who were at the time in Washington, and which still is the leading topx of conversation wherever one goes. In addition to the u men killed out right tiere were 6S injured, a number of whom mar die. and minv of whom will be permanently crippled. Con gress cannot ciaim in extenuation that 11 a.u not know trie condition of this building, because its condition has been repeatedly called to its attention, and it actuallr arnrorriat! m.-,r some six or eight years ago to erect a new boi.d'.n to Contain the Arm Medical Museum and library which had been in this building. Just think for a moment what damning evidence is .liven tv this action. Corm- erects anrjier build;? h for t: because this museum and ;a 1 sjtie cnoug Lbrorv with their comparatively few attendants to remain in. and then al lows 5?o clerks to Nf crowded into the unsafe bul'.dirg. Had a private employer been ruilty of th'scr.cie he could have lcn legally executed for murder : bu Congress well, .the families of the dfjj and crippled, who are cow beirg aided by private coc tr.buti x . cuj spend the remainder cf their lives in asking Congress tj re compense them for taeir les: bread winners. Meanwhile there are half a dojen budding in Washington coa tatrurg roaoy times tie number of (.iOTfrr.ru ert employes who were in the collapsed building that re known to be equally dangerous, amoaj them the Government Printing Office, with its nearly 3,000 employes 1 the Patent Ofiice, the annex to the Post Office department and the Winder building, where a large branch of the ar de partment is quartered. An attempt is being made by an army court of inquiry to locate the ersonal responsibility for the disaster at this old death trap, if there be any, and a coroner s jury is at work with the same end in view. It is said that the direct cause of the accident was an excavation which was being made for the purpose of putting in new boilers. This may be true, but even if it is that furnishes no excuse for Congress for having allowed a building which was officially condemn ed twenty seven years ago to be oc cupied by 500 Government employes In consequence of the accident there is a feeling of excitement among those employed in the other buildings that are known to be unsafe. Secretary Smith is trying to allay this excitement in the Patent Office by having a,l the heavy stuff stored on the upper floors of that building transferred to the ground floor. President Cleveland was one of the first contributors to the fund that is being raised for the help ot the fami lies of the clerks that were killed and wounded ; he also diiected that all flags on the public buildings be half masted for the dead clerks, an honor never before paid to any except nigh officials or ex officials. The number of ap-xintments during the past week was unusually large, particularly in the consular service, but the new Government printer has not been named, although it is daily expected that he will be. There are in lications that Secretary Carlisle has in view a complete reor ganiration of the immense clerical force of the Treasury department He has addressed a circular letter to all of the heads of bureaus directing them to prepare and send to him not later than the 25th inst, a list of all employes under them, showing age. number of years employed, those w ho entered the service under the civil ser vice law of 1SS3; those who have wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters or other relatives employed in any branch of the Government : those employed as clerks or otherwise, with compensation exceeding $$40 a year, who are doing work that proper ly belongs to messengers, assistant messengers, and laborers ; and those w-ho are doing e'erical work but are on the rolls as messengers, assistant messengers or laborers. This has raised a commotion in the department, and no wonder, for the information, if correctly given, and there is no doubt about that, is bound to lead to a grand shake-up and a large number of d.s missa's. In taking this step Sec. Car lisle has set another good example for the heads o: a'i the ether departments. A grand shake-up all round will be benencial to the country as well as to the demr.ratie In view c; what llcoi's Sarsaputillt has done for others, is i: not reason able to believe that it alii a'so benefit to vc.: ?

CARRIK linUTOX ClAINtD IS FtASH 68 1.BS. TO HI I-a M.S. BY THE I SE OF A SIMPLE REMEDY. MEN AND WOKEN INTERESTED. "It is astonishing," said one of our physicians the other evening, "how many of the ordinary iliseascs people suffer from come from the one cause excess of uric acid in the blood. To discover a medicine that would dissolve this acid has puzzled thous ands of the best men of the medical profession, until Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, X. Y., produced what is known the world ovr as Dr. Kennedy's favorite Remedy. The great value we place in Favorite Remedy comes from the fact that it is the only men cine that will effectually dissolve this acid thus curing rheumatism, dysnep sia, kidney, livei and urinary troubles and the sicknesses women suffer from. These and many moie troubles all come from the one cause, as I said before, tnis deaih -dealing uric acid. Ferhaps there has been no one per son in Wyoming Co., Pa., that has suffered more than Mrs. Carne Bou ton, formerly of Schottville, but now of Harvey's Lake, I.uzerne Co. Mrs. l?outon, in relating her restoration to health, said : "From a growing girl I sunereo; from female trouble or weak ness peculiar to my sex. Several phy sicians prescribed for me but I found no relief. I was reduced in flesh down to 63 pounds. By accident I heard of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and determined to try it, and to my great joy I began to realize that I had found a medicine that was doing me good. I think I had used five bottles when I found that I weighed pounds tr.d wa. better in health than I ever was before. Inquiry among Mrs. Bouton's neigh bors shows that she states nothing but the facts in regard to her case. Many other instances cJ the kind are widely talked of in Scottsville, Tunkhannock, v ilkesbarre and other places where Pr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has effected many cures after physicians nao given up hope. "But, savs one of our prominent druggists. Favorite Remedy is equally efficacious in other diseases, as talks with people I have sold Favorite Re medy to athrm. l'o my knowledge right in our town Favorite Remedy has cured people suffering fro.n rheu matism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and urinarv troubles." Since the pullication in one of the New York medical journals of the case of Mr. E. P. Taver. of East Nas sau. N. Y.. Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Keme;y has been ;ncresinz in sale. Mr. Taver had suffered tor rlfteen ears with intlaraautorv rheumatism. His case waj practically abandoned by b'ls physicians. Favorite Remedy was brought to his notice and in less than three months after its use he was a well man. In commenting on this case Dr. W. H. Mo;e. of New Yori C;:v. savs : i r.e o'-ii iood in Favorite Remedy lies in its ower to dissolve this dead ly uric acid.
