The once celebrated Pittsburg riot !
bill was acrain introduced into the House j
at Harrisburg. by an Allegheny county !
member last week. "We do not kt.ow
the nature of the new bill, and cannot j
therefore enlighten our readers in repard j
to it. Its old friend and companion,
known as the border raid bill, was also j
reintroduced at the session of the IIou?e
on Monday nipht. It involves ovei two j
millions of dollars to pay for losses by j
citizens of Franklin. Cumberland and
Adams conntic3, sustained by the rebel j
raid into this Slate in 1803, just before j
the battle of Gettysburg. We do not j
surpose that either bill had much of a j
chance of success.

only absolutely certain way of bringing

Ar.orT once a week a report starts
out from Washington and pts into all
the newspapers that Judge Folp r. Sec
retary of the Treasury, is about to re
sign, and that Don Cameron will take
his place. Folper won't resign. If he
ever bad cv.y intention of doing so it
wouhi have Wen on the day after the
November election, when he found that
Cleveland had beaten him for Governor
of New York reatly two hundred thou
sand votes. Having survived that mon
umental defeat, he w ill not be likely to
quit his ofilre now. But even if he did,
Cameron would not succeed him, for the
very plain reason that the jemocrats
have a majority on joint ballot in tbe
Legislature of this State and would
elect a Democrat in Cameron's place,
whose vote wonl 1 offset either Mahone's
or Kiddleberger's, and in the piesent
close state of parties in the Senate such
a contingency will not be permitted to
happen.

At one of the meetings of the House
Democratic caucus at Harrisburg last
week, the legality of supplying each
member with one hundred dollars' worth
of postage stamps, and fifty dollars for
purchasing stationery, was discussed at
some length. Postage stamps amount
ing in value to 5100 are allowed to each
member under the act of 1S70, but a sec
tion of the act of 1S79 provides that
each member shall be entitled to fifty
dollars tor every regular and ten dollars
for every extra session in lieu of sta
tionery now allowed bylaw, and that no
shall hereafter be furnished to members

Mr. Sliarpe, of Franklin County, who is
a pood lawyer, contended that these two
acts of Assembly conflicted, and that the

In the Uosler-Wagner contest in the

Dear McPike The snow problem
is befoie the people of Philadelphia for
its annual discussion. In almost a'.l
sections of the city the sides of the
streets are banked hiph with snow and
will continue so untiljihere is a general
thaw. The sidewalks are ail icy, and
foot pads often lose their equilibrium.
Icy sidewalks are one of the evils of our
existence, and we must take them along
with our other troubles, and be thank
ful that we do not have them all the
year. Ice may be deliphlul in its place,
which is in lemonade on the Fourth of

and although it is improving some, its '
condition is not such to inspire conti- j
deuce. There is some ta'.k of asking the !
Legislature to do something to protect
the purity of the Schuylkill water, but j
the average legislator don't bother him- !
self about water. He hardly ever takes j
"water in his'n." 1
It seems that Philadelphia, with a less
population by .'500.000 than New York,
has 104 more churches then tint city.
Xew York with a population of 1.2O0,
187, has 1-1 churches, and Philadelphia
wiih a population of 8-li.i0, has S'.'.'l

THE DTOHITT OF LABOR.
For government to shut its eyes and close
Its cart to the comp'aints and petitions of i
any booy of its citizens is foby. Sneh n. '
course corrects nothing and settles nothing, j
Particularly should hed be civen to the ap- ,
P-Ais of so large and important a nart of the i
community as those depending for subsis- '
b nee upon the waces of toil. Labor is the I
main pillar of the State. As an honored j
statesman of our own country has said : j
" Labor is the superior of capital and de- j
serves much the higheot consideration ;" but i
the consideration piven to such matters i
shou'd be deliberate and searching, and the
relief thoroncrh and systematic, if it is to be :
lasting and effect ual. j
I cannot but indn'ecd the belief that our
political svstem is capnble of providing some i
j n,Pnt of such disputes..' Our form of eovl
other remIy than the baronet for the settle-
eminent, I have no doubt, is compptort to
deal with this matter fairly and effectively
without injustice totheriphfs or ir. 'erects of (
either party to the .controversy. T.'pon the j
wisdom of the legislative rlepartmiit rests
in the first instance the responsibility for a !
proper solution of this question. j
The Inauguration of Governor Pattison j
was a simple ceremonial, devoid of pomp,
extravagance or flunkyism. Still there were j
large numbers of strangers In Harrisburg, i
and several civic, associations from the East- I
em counties joined in the procession of c?ti- j
zens. The oath of office was administered j
to the Governor -elect by Judge Trnnkey. j
Then there was a salute af thirteen runs, at i
an outlay, skvs a special, of five -dollars and '
oi'd cents, which was all tbe inauguration !
cot the State. It is hot a mere question of '
the dollars and cents involved that induced l
the abandonment of the George Ila.idy j
SinHh style of Inauguration. They were In i
had taste, and the thousands of dollars ex- i
ponded largely went toehampne-Tio.md ntbr
nonsense. The people of Pennsylvania have
had quite enough of that sort of business
and of tlie people who engineered it.

ing. Immediately after the discovery of the
Aretha building was completely enveloped
in flames, and scenes of ntmost terror pre
vailed. The inmates jumped by dozens from
thp upper stories, covering the stone side,
walks with lifeless bodies. Many guests
appearing at the windows, and seeing the
distance to the rround, fell back In the
flames and so peri--hd.
The exact loss of life Is not yet determlri
aole, but will reach from fifty to alxty dead,
nnd from twenty to thirty wounded. So far
twenty-three bodies have been p'aced In the
morgue and nine more in places near the
ruins. The storfl and offices on the ground
floor were entirely destroyed and some of
the adio'nirig buildings, among them the
Mutual Union Telegraph office were badly
damaged. The loss can scarcely he estima
ted at this hour, but it will reach half a mil
lion dollars. The cashier of the Manufac
turers' Rank safely carried ont the'easti box
containing money and papers amounting to
$000,000.

had been married on'x two days was burned
to d"ath in sight of the multitude outside.
Milwaukee, the scene of the disaster. Is a j
hemtifnl city of nearly a hundred thousand i
intvinitants, on the Western shor of Lake I
Michigan, eighty miles northwest of Chicago. '
It Is noted for the artistic beantv of its pnb- j

A 7HIULI.INO STORY. I
The most remarkable story told bv any of 1
the rescued is that of J, W. Maxwell, of the !
firm of Maxwell. Manning & Co., Chicago. '
He was in a room on the third floor, over the !
office, and, after seeing that the halls were
fii.ed with smoke, closed the transom over
the door and locked the door. Bursting out. I
one of the windows he determined, on second I
thought, to rNk the hal'way rather than fall !
from such a height. Tumini? hack he t. I
tempted to get intothe ball. The key wr old
not turn in the lock. He returned to the
window, lay down near it, to get fresh air,
and knotted the bedclothes Into a rope, by
means of which be lowered himself to' the
roof of the inner court. The roof was partly
made of diss, besides being quite heavily
covered with snow. There was another man
there befoie him, who was wandering about
in a dazed manner. He was in danger of
falling throu-jh the glss?, when Maxwell
seized bbn and endeavored to encourage him.
It wa no avail however, as thn poor fellow
had been utterly deprived of his reason
Maxwell tried to burst Into a room, but
found the rtcnr locked In another trial he
was more fortunate. The door was slightly
?.jar. hut the smoke and fire in the hallway
was stifling hot, and it seemed useless to
take the risk of esenpe thereby. Neverthe
less he tried and succeeded.
THE HKUO OF THE LADDER.
O.ie of the most thrilling stories fold by
any of the. survives is that of Mary Carvin.
She is one of the girl-i saved by "means of
the ladder reaching ross the allev in the
rear of tlie hotel. She tells of the experi
ence of the r,f!, n the rooms allotted to the

JUMPED IKTO THB JAWS OE DEATH.
Maitin Webber, of Laporte, Indiana, says
be arrived at the bote! Tuesday, and was as
signed to room Xo. 15S on the fou'th floor.
He was accompanied by a friend named V,
II. Hal!, who occupied a room off and open
ing into his. Webber was awakened by the
noise of roaring flames. He sprang from
bis bed and called to bis friend, whoeume
into his room, and the two men dres-ed. nail
then said: "My ?od I Do yoa thintr they
Will ever get to ns?" The next moment he
made, a run for thfe window, and cleared it
with a bound. Mr. Webber has not yet been
able to find him, dead or aiive. although he
has made diligent search. Webber wa
driven from his room by the smoke, and
climbed outside an1 bung from the window
sill for ten minutes, when he was rescued
by a ladder being placed at the window.
A TOUCHTNO PCESR.
Mrs. McCauley. who lies at. the Axtell
lliuirt in n bad nervous condition, and was
carried out In a faint by fireman Strauss,
says :
I was awakened bv the ahouta and areama of
the others and rnri Into the hull. It was lull of
arirla, roshlne madly nn and down, e -ylna; and
ar-reamlnz. I rushed" to the and of the hull, peer
ed Throuirh the door, and aaw everything waa
smoke and fire outside. I then ran bnrk. and
panyins; the room where aeven sirla had taken re
fuse, joined them, nnd we all knelt down In r-nT-er.
One of the ul'ls had a rruclfix and a fat wo
man prayed out loud. .Tn ?t as we had irtven un all
hope, the window erahed In onr room and I faint
ed. It so happened that the firemen had found
lhat room out of 30 others, and we with a few
others, were saved. I knew nothing after falntini?
till 1 woke np here.
Captain O'Connor says that of the remains
thus far found eight were taken from a
point directly in front of the office counter
af the hotel, or at the head of the staircase
ommunicating with Broadway. The vic
tims seemed to bave reached that point In
their flight, bnt could get no fnrther. In
one instance the remains found led to the
belief that one man had fallen upon another
aireaay overcome oy ine tire.
AN APPALLING WHTSFER.
New York, January 14. Lerkin B. Pay.
of Milwaukee, who Is at tha Metropolitan
Hotel, tells a Tribune reporter a singular
story about th recent disaster at the New
hall House. He says :
'There la an appalllntj whisper g-oing the ronndt
In 'Milwaukee, whieh I hone from my verv heart
la not true. It I" to the effort that the nronrietor
of the hotel was In the hh(t ol loeklnir his women i
servants In their hed rooms to keep rhem honet,
and thnt when thev discovered the tire they were
caird prisoners, for whom there was no eseape ex
cept by the windows. John F. Antlsde'l. the pro
prietor. Is a man with a Ida; heart, and Is a friend
ef mine. We are members of the same Raptiat
('Huron, and no man In Milwaukee Is more ret
pected than he. But I know h!a opinion of work
ins women, and that lcpd eolor to the story. Mr.
Anlisdell has been tnsanesinee that terrible nla-ht.
ami It Is said that the loss of his property Is the
cause of it. Rut he waa not the man to have hig
braia turned by the mere loss of his property."
AN rsCENDIART'B TERRIBLE WORK.
It has been discovered that the Milwaukee
hotel fire was started in a small closet used
for kindling wood, etc., close to the base ef
the elevator hatchway. The sides of the
hatchway were saturated with oil from the
machinery. The fire burned through the
thin wood partition between the closet and
the elvntor shrtft. and feeding on the oil in
the wood, rushed up the hatehwRy, bursting
out on all floors at nearly the same time. It
was the burning of the oil woid work which
created such a dense smoke and such terrific
beat. Many of those rescued were terribly
burned by the hot air, although they were
not reached by the flames.

D. R. Murphy, formerly of Connellsvllle.
Pa., but now living In Newark, Ohie, bas

as shown would Indicate that it wlil prove a
vast improvement on the present style. The
beating surface is largely increased and a
larger pottion of the weight is thrown npon
the drivers. Machinists wbo bave examined
the plana say that the echeme Is feasible.
Mr. M Is well known tn Newark as a practi
cal machinist and an excellent railroad en
glueer, having been in charge of one of the
engines at the Centenial in 1876. Mr. Mur
phy intends if- interest several well known
capitalists In his scheme and make an at
tempt to put It into successful operation as
soon as practicable.
An oltscure mar. has suddenly stepped
forth and unintentionally asserted bis claim
to popular respect. Mr. Thomas Dnoanue,
a Massachusetts farmer, was some years ago
struck on the head, the blow imnairinr; his
mental faculties. A morbid desire to kill
some one torments him, and he cannot per
manently drive away the reeutring tempta
tion. He bas, therefore, asked to be commit
ted to an asylum, lest, in an unguarded mo
ment, he might take the lite of a fellow crea
ture. At first his application may seem only
a freak ef a maniac, but reflection e'tows it
to be something more. When It Is couslder
ed that confinement In a lunatic aylum
moans loss of liberty, separation from friends
from business, from pleasure and all that is
supposed to make life attractivo, Mr. Dona
hue's act is plainly one Indicative of heroism.
Ills Impaired reason may probably have lad
hfra to Imagine the danger of coromlttirg
homicide greater than it really Is, but bis
heart is in the light place.

Govfwsor Gi.ick. of Kansas, elected over
St. John on the prohilutlon issu. in his mes
sage to the Legislature, sems to be of the
opinion that the people of his State are bet
ter f ff with the whiskey-glass than with the
whiskey-Jng The stringent temperance
measures have driven persons of bibulous
Inclinations to wholesale transaetions In the
liquor business ; whereas, if they bad not
been interfered with, tbey would have been
contented with a modest retail traffic. Where
it has been impossible to buy whiskey by the
g'asa, it has been easy enough to procure it
by the gallon, and the coveted liquid is now
purchased extensively in quantities bv the
happy yeomanry and carried home in jugs,
to be transferred to the person of the pur
chaser In the presence of bis family or on the
sly, as the case may be. As a result of this
plan, th" amount of whiskey censumed bas
greatly increased, and a good many family
cuphoards have been transformed into pretty
well equipped bars. The Kansas citir.t-n dis
covers that he can get dtunk at home with
lesj expense and just as thoroughly as be
wasformcr'v aide to do at the village bar
