the desired effect, and now the Reporter
Las the good news to tell to the people
along the line that the favorable result
has been attained.
A Be.lefonte correspondent of the
Witliamsport Bulletin speaks thus of the
view from the mountain above Centre
Hmli: The view from Xiitany mountain,
seven miles distant, is one of the finest in
the whole country. When we reach the
topotthe mountain and look down into
the beautiful Penn's valley, and if it hap
pens to be near harvest time and the gold
en grain is sutging to and fro in the sun
shine, and we cast our eyes asyty beyond
to the Seven mountains that rise up to kis
the clouds, we are filled with awe and ad
miration at the beauties of nature, the sub
lime grandeur of God's work.
Neither old nor stale groceries are
ever found in tho store >f Sechler & Co.
in the Bush bouse block. The reason of
it is they always sell oT their goods, nev
er having anything on hand long enough
to become unfit for use upon your table
This obliges these men to be in constant
receipt of grocerirs, and thev order from
reliable parties east who keep the
freshest and best in the market. This is
the right way to do business ; it i* condu
cive to the hralth of the community, r.ot
raying anything about the money saved
because you ran buy of them at the lowest
figures. For these reaions Sechler A Co.
deserve the patronage of all heads of fam
ilies. Good and healthy eatables save big
doctor bills, that is one big saving ; you
save money on account of tbeir low prices,
that makes a double saving There is no
humbug in this—it i* true as truth can be.

From present appearance* the road will j

speaking of the subject, says: If no ar
rang -men*, can be made by them te run
their trains over the Northern Central
ra'lway from Soliusgrora Junction, a
change of cars at that point wilt only be
necessitated, and this will be much better j
for the people of Snyder county than r.ot
to have the rend operated at all. The in
tention is to build an arm of the read from
Selin.-grove to Port Treverton. throwing a
bridge across the river at that point to
llerndon. to connect with the Reading,
railroad. It is also the intention, provid-1
,ed no arrangement can be made to run the
Sunbury and Lewistown ears over tbi
Northern Central railway- from Silitu
grove Junction to Sunbury, to complete
the road to that plate from Selinsgrove
on the west side of the river, removing
the railroad bridge at Selinsgrote to Sun

He had visited Mr- Lincoln professionally

The proprietor* and several employees

Dr. Isham testified that in March ho re
ceived a telegram from Mrs Lincoln from
' Jacksonville, pla. as follow*; "My be

her room in that condition under some pre
text, and the next he know of ber she was

He had the elevator stopped and tried to

A number of merchants testified to Xlrs

Springfield, May A most tcnible
disaster occurred to night in the burning
of the French Catholic church nl South
IliilyuU iluilii|{ tbi' i'Vulii( services, in*
vulying the lon of 71 mni, women and
• children.
The rXClcisc* had nearly dewed, and it
vesper service *a* being sung, alien the
' draperies on the altar caught tire from a
candle, ami the wall being low and tlx
' flumes streaming up, the building wa* set
on ire.
The audience numbered about 7U' but
1 the people in thebody of the church e&
• t aped, but on the stairwa.v UaditiK from
• the nailery, human beluga were packed in
• a dense mass, struggling lo escape As the
• tlaiuea rushed towards them many leaped
f !to the floor beneath and were trampled to
'[tattk
\ Tti* nailery skirted both aide* of the
: building, with only one entranee from the
■ | front. The scene was f-arftil in the ex
' j Urine during the little while it lasted.
Those engigvd in pulling out the bodies
' j noticed that almost every woman had a
' | bracelet on her wrist, and all had evidently
' worn their best for a special occasion.
It is a disputed question whether both
the front doors were available !or escape.
There are those who stale positively that
one of ihrm was closed, and that it was
1 j impossible to open it on account of the
crush. One man, it is asserted, went to
' the closed door, and flourishing a club
' threatened violence to an\ one wi.o came
' near, in order to get the crowd away, hut
■ without success. Others state as positively
i that both doors were open.
' There were two doors its the north end
' and a vestibule from which two doors
opened into the body of the church. The
galleries opened into the vestibule. At
1 the rear end was another door by which a
few persons escaped. Immediately upon
the breaking oniot the flames all the x.cU"
oanu of the galleries rushed to the east
door and crowded so thni tbsy fell upon
ne another and choked up the doorways
with their bodies piled in all ways, set en
or eight feet deep, and here most of the
lives were lest. From this mass Chief
Mullin rescued one young woman, after
taking off two dead bodies fruui above her;
it was almost impossible to face the dames,
„nj Chief Mullin and others had their
clothes almost burned from theui, anu
were badly burned themselves about (heir
hands In the rear of the church was the
priesU residence, which was also destroyed.
The walls were pulled down after the fire
was nearly put out.
One woman jumped from the highest
u i.!duo dow,i upon lbs' f*cnt steps, break*
ing an arm, hut she is not known to have
been otherwise injured. A man with two
children in bis arms jumped from a win*
dow, and escaped ; one poor woman, en
veloped in flames, shrieked out, "for God's
sake, save me," and she was dragged out
by John Lynch.
Springfield, Mass., May 26 -The bodies
of flfly persons burned to death at ifolyuke
last night have been identified, in addition
to those of fifteen or twenty who were at
once removed to their homes by their
friends. Nearly ten have died, and some
forty more are more or le- burned or
otherwise injured.
A fli shy woman, weighing so me lMi
pounds, was dragged .reaming from the
burning mass She was carried a short
distance from the church, and placed on
the grass, while flesh actually peeled off
tier back. In a moment the fell over
dead.
Ti.e scene* last night and to day in the
school*house basement, where the bodies
of the dead were earned, were heart-rend
ing in the extreme. Stumps of limbs
burned to a crisp protruded trout undo*
sheets, and as the face cloth was lilted
from the heads, the scarred and blacken
ed remains were'disclosed. In some in
stances the features were distorted, as
though ettreuie agony bad been suffered
before death crqued. Hut many looked
calm as though smothered. Yet they all
were blackened with smoke; some were
burned beyond the possibility of identifi
cation, nothing remaining but the trunk
of the body. A coroner's jury was sum
moned to-day, but the excitement contin
ues so intense that it was judged best not
. to attempt tho taking of evidence, and tbe
inquest was adjourned until Monday.
Tbe fate of Amniinie Mcneex and her
lover was a strange event of the lire. She
was the organist for the evening in the ab
sence of tbe regular one, and WAS cut off
from escape when tho church was burr.-
I" 1 '
iter lover escaped but finding that she
was still within hurried to rescue her, was
overcome by the flnsncs arid perished with:
her. The latest rovised figures of tho He -]
publican concerning the losees by the llul
jyoke disaster give tho dead at seventy two
and otherwise buined and wounded ar
twenty-seven, making a total of 120 vic
tims of the disastot. Of the seventy-one
dead fifty fivo are females and sixteen
male*.
A DOUBLE MI'RUHR.
A double tragedy catne to light in East
New York, n suburb of Brooklyn. It ap
pears that a German tailor, named Jacob
Young, a resilent of the place, who about
six years ago lost his wife, and about n
year afterwards remarried, did not live
happily with his second wife, and lie be
came very much addicted to liquor, and'
' their -p-arrrls were frequent. Shortly af
ter nine o'clock this morning his body
j was discovered lying across the grave of
his first wife, in Evergreen cemetery. Ifo
' had a revolver grasped in his right hand,
■ and committed suicide by shooting him
self through the mouth. Officers were
j sent to notify his wife. The door- anil
> windows of the bouse were found to be *c
r : purely locked, and had to be broken open
i. to gnin an entrance Marks of blood were
. found in the hallway, an I the furniture
' I was all upside down, everywhere showing
.evidence of a severe struggla. Tracks <f
• blood led to the cellar steps, and on going
■ down stairs the officers found the murdcr
• cd remains of Yourig's second wife. Uer
> head was mangled in a shocking manner,
i half of it being nearly chopped off. A
' large axe wus found nenr at hand covered
< with blood. From the appearance of the
body it was evident that tho murder had
been committed last night.
