The announce ment of the opening of the festivities will le made by heralds going about the streets with trumpets and cymbals. The whole celebration will be very pic turesque, and as romantic as the Spanish mir.d. On We.lnes.lay Hon. Ed. T. McNcelis, of Johnstown, one of the candidates nominated at the late Democratic pri mary election, telegraphed the following card from F.Unsburg, to the Johnstown J It i i !1. Kilitor ll-mhi: Flease announce to the Democratic committee of Cambria oountv mv withdrawal as a candidate for Assembly". Thanking mv many friends for their kind and earnest support in the late primary election, 1 remain IteSpectftlllv, En. T. McXekus. The withdrawal of Mr. MeXcelis will necessitate the calling of the Democratic county committee together for the pur pose of tilling the vacancy. Tin. Democratic party carried New York in 17' ami 11, when there were just as many men going aliout de claring that Tildeii or Cleveland could not carry that state as there are now. When the nartv has been thoroughly frightened by this sort of talk it has won. The Democrats were comparative ly unit in 188, and failed to win. Cleveland is much stronger in New York than he was in lft81, when we had the Same opposition that there is now with the I.utlcr defection in addition. The Tension bill, says the Philadel phia II' rnUl, comes back from the Pen ate with 11,0M),(H0 added to the liln ral amount allowed by the House, bringing the total for the next year up to the im mense figure of $147,XXV0. When in 1878 General Garfield reported a pen sion bill to the House amounting to 27, OtM00", lie excused its large proportions, and allayed the apprehension arising from such a formidable disbursement for such a purpose, by saying that it could not get much larger; that perhaps it might reach $:r,C00,000, after which it would decline. Hut now we see a pension bill more than five times as large as the one about which Gartield thought it necessary to make excuses, and the probability is that it will increase as time goes on, instead of diminishing. r.uth; political parties are tol eblamed for this enormous expenditure, which in time of profound peace fastens upon the taxpayers of the country an expense greater than a standing army of o00,0K imposes upon the Herman Empire. This pension business has been gotten hold of bv politicians and worked for votes that are in it. It hasn't tioen so much a love for the veterans or gratitude for the services they rendered that has led tu the extension, of pensions, but fcvorv additional pension bill, enlarging the numl-er interested in this form of government largess, has loen a bid for more votes by the party passing it. As this tiling is limited only by the desire of party managers to gain votes, there is no telling where it will end. .1 iw.t t.i vote U1M 14th inst., was an ai.ie prizeman.... ... the financial question from his point of view, but it will change no votes; n nee.., the silver men claim to have made two recruits Senator Hill and Hnnton of Yir-inia, on the day it was hnished.

Congressmen are only human, and it is perfectly maturalthat they eiiouia aesire to aid in the selection of the national ticket of their party. A notable feature of the exodus of the Republican Senators and Representatives to Minneapolis is the large number of nrivntn ears which have been placed at their disposal by the owners. This shows, as nothing elsecn, how close the Republican tparty is to the big corpora- tions of ttie country, no " ..n,l lots of it. to mainatin and run a private parlor car, and the railroad mag nates are not doing it for fun they ex pect to be amply repaid for all lavors hown to tliese iieuuncan -oiigiv.i.".u.

Ixiwer down where the buildings were alxne the water's surface, the tire was swept directly in among them. Many of the persons who lost their lives were overtaken in the streets as they tied for safety.

Nead. counsel fer the Kegister and Recorder of Westmort-land county, has entered -an apical in the dauphin county court from a settlement made by the Auditor General. The apiieal raises some verv important questions, in which ncarlv every county oflicer in the state ititen-sted. I'nder the law, as in terrm ted bv.the Auditor ( Jeneral, every countv otiicer has .een'compelieil to re port all fees which he collects, and the state has exacted in each case . per cent, of the amount of these fees re maining afti r deducting necessary clerk hire and ollice expenses and a salary of $-JlHM) for the ollice.

Once they instructed their delegated to the state convention to use ill honorable means to secure the elec tion of a State delegation to Minneapolis who would support Mr. Harrison. Yet it aptiears that H. W. Storey and John R. Scott, who will represent this district will vote steadily against ttie rresuieni for tho reason that they "are friends of Mr. Ouay," and are more concerned to gratify him than to oliey the wishes ef their constituents and promote the gocxl of the country. If we are wrong in this supposition the pnHer correction will be made with great cheerfulness. Corn Bread the Uerman Fad. Ciinco, June 7. J.

This includes railroads, factories, refineries, private dwellings, etc. Mr. Geome Stephens, a prominent merchant here, says the lire was caused bv a spark from a passing train on the , X. Y. & P. R. R-, which set fire to in a tank alongside the line. The water had reached an unusual height, and as it flowed across the low lying land set fire to every building with which it came in contact. Mechanic street is known as a resident street for the poorer classes, and it was simply swept out of existence. Xot a vestige of a dwelling on that street re mains standing. Tins is where the greatest loss of life occurred. The fire and Hood combined was so swift in its destruction that whole families were swept away before they realized that there was lhe remotest danger. 1794. lWOl. policies written t abort nolce in tne OLD RELIABLE 1 ETNA" T.
