Mr. Garfield's cabinet is something
like Mr. Garfield himself, both .strong
and weak. Mr. Blaine will be recog
nized as a strong man. in an office where
bis strength will net be of much conse
quence. The secretaryship of state is
the least important of the cabinet places
in these uiiiinz times of peace. Our re
latiens with ether countries ieem very
unlikely te be diatmbed, and nobody
wants them te lis in any ether condition,
we believe. If there should be an im
portant element desiring te grab Mex
ico, Mr. Blaine would be a very compe
tent agent te carry out that design : but
if any such purpose is hidden under his
acceptance of this .somnolent office it is
veiy v.ell concealed indeed. Mr. James,
the postmaster general, in contrast te
Mr. Blaine, is net a strong man general
ly, but specially, and in the line of the
weik vhich is given him te de He
ought te make an excellent postmaster
general, with the expeiicnce he lias had
in the Xew Yeik office and therepu'ntien
he enjoys for thy capable dichaigeef
his duties theie. Integiity and capacitj
are especially needed in an acceptable
postmaster g neial. and the inemerv of
the present generation does net recall an
eccup'iut el the office who ha-, posse.-ed
these qualities. It will be a very le-fie-hing
tiling indeed if Mr. James shall
prove equal te his reputation and give us
an ellieient.henest and economical pe-'al
service.

Mr. Garfield's cabinet, that all its mem

These Besolntiens.
We have plainly declared our opinion
of the felly of Dr. Brooks ; but we are
bound te declare that it is quite outdone
by that of the beard of trustees of the
Millersville normal school. These gen
tlemen enjoy in the community the repu
tation of being sensible men. and
we would net venture te express
our conviction that they had net
se acted in this matter if we
thought there could be the slightest
doubt of it. "We would still refrain from
criticism if we thought their action
would escape the derision of the public ;
but it is se conspicuously absurd that
there is no hope at all that a universal
guffaw will netarise from every one who
reads their remarkable resolution and
takes interest enough in the subject te
give it the slightest thought.
The beard of trustees leinctate Lan
gan "bythe advice and at the lequest
of Dr. Bioek-, who prefers that his ac
tion should baieveised by the heard of
trustees, rather than have it thought
that he would de injustice te one of the
students." Why did net Dr. Bioeks
himself, then, revere his action?
Did he want the tiustees te express their
opinien'' that injustice had been done te
Langan':' Then did they net express it
in reinstating him ? Tf se, why de they
require fiem him a public apology
" ter net complying with his n quest and
for using disrespectful language towards
him ?"
And why de they call ii

maud ; and when their
tieu affiims that ' the
a request
it was a coin
second ie.solu ie.selu
principal has
and shall exercise authority ever his
pupils net only at the school but outside
of it." The whole case between Dr.
Bioeks and Mr. Langan hinges en the
aulhoiityel the piincipal te command
a student en the streets of Lancaster
te get out of a slieet ear. If Dr. Bioeks
hasauliieiity at his own sweet will and
pleasme te elder mound the students

or out ei it, and in their comings and
going-, then he had a light, se lar as
the trustees t euld give it te him, te or

him walk te Miileisville, or roll there
or te staj away.

At 2 p. m. en Saturday, as the train
bearing Mr. R. B. Hayes and his party
from Washington swept around a 'curve
at Baltimore, at a high rate of speed it
met two heavy passenger engines going
from Baltimore south at a rapid tate, and
in less time than it lias taken te tell it they
had crushed together and the three en
gines lay beside the track in ' confused
mass of luins. The two engines south
bound had breugh ever trains from Wash
ington te Baltimore early in the morning.
aud weie returning for ether trains. The
read was crowded with business, re much
se that the section of the train bearing Mr.
Haves, which was te have left Washing
ton at 10:30 a. m., did net start until
nearly 1 p. m.
The train was made up of four Pullman
sleeping cars. The liist was a special car,
chaiteied by J. Wyman Yeung, of Sha Sha
mekin, Pa., and containing friends of Mr.
Yeung. The next three contained the
Cleveland City Troop, which was a special
esceit te Piesideut Gaifield fiem Cleve
land te Washington, and was returning as
a special escort te Mr. Hayes. The tilth
coach contained Mr. Hayes and family and
fiiends. The sixth coach was a special car
of James Masen, counsel of the Lake
Shere read, and A. C. Armstrong, an olli elli
cci el the same read, from Cleveland. It
contained the families of these gentlemen
and theii fi ieuds, and was followed by a
baggage car. Xext came a special e.n el
Daniel P. Lels, picsident of the Ohie
Central read and president of thcCoinmei thcCeinmei
cial batik, of Cleveland, in which weie his
family and fi ieuds. This coach was fol
lowed by a car containing twelve hoi ses of
Cleveland Tioep.
Mr. Hayes and paity had just lunched,
and were con vei sing upon the events of
the preceding tlay, when the ciash came.
It threw Mis. Hayes, Mrs. Colonel
Bulleck andMis.IIciren, of Cincinnati aud
two or three ether members of the party
who were sealed in the fient of the car te
the fleer. Mr. Hayes, seeing at once the
cause of the shock, hastily inquired after
the condition of the members of the party,
and finding them net 'seiieusly injured
spning fie n the car and made his way up
tttc muddy bank aud thieugh the blind
ing stream te the front, where lay the
wreck of the engines. Beneath one could
be seen the head and outstretched arms of
Jehn Oliver, a baggage man of Baltimore,
who was en the engine going te Washing
ton te return with a later train. A corner
of the piston box had shuck directly
act ess his back, the whole weight of the
engine falling against him and crashing
his chest aud stomach, while the steam
and boiling water lushed out upon his
head and bauds. Te another pait of the
niiiis the .surviving engineers acd firemen
had scrambled, and weie diawing Hairy
Fieebuin, an engineer, fiem under the
wreck, lie was slid alive and conscious,
but halfau hour later he was unconscious
and sinking rapidly.
The fiist Pullman car, which was the
special car chattered by Mr. Yeung of
Shamokin, received the shock of the colli
sion, and was paitly telescoped into the
second car, containing members of the
Cleveland Tioep. Fiem this car people
were juiupiiiL, from the windows and doers,
their hands, facei and heads cut and
bieeding. In the car crushed te death, lay
Mr. Yeung who h.al been instantly killed.
Mr. llajes huriicd te the rescue, doing
all in his power te aid the wounded wher
ever it was possible te de se. IILs three
sons weie seen out of the car and did the
same. Fer hall an hour these with the
ether passeiigcis weikcd heroically te res
cue and com foil these injured by the dis
aster. The body Mr. Yeung was cariied
te the bank, laid gently ou the snow and
covered with blankets. Dr. W. II.
Shearer of Yeik, Pa., who was abeaie1 the
tiaiu, rendered all the aid in his power,
dreeing the wounds of the victims apply
ing bandages and administering stimulants
where needed. Jehn M. Unglaub, the en
gineer of the train curling Mr. 'Hayes's
paity, escaped from beneath the engine
after the accident, having steed by it te
the last. He was injured in the side and
back seiieusly. He managed te get te the
depot unaided but theie he broke down,
and after a while, when the mostseiieusly
injured were taken care of, he was put te
bed.
"Did you see the engines cenliug.,'' was
asked him.
"Yes," he replied, "I saw them as we
tinned the curve, and knew that we weie
in for it. I put en the air brakes and re
verted the wheels, but I couldn't step be
fore meeting."
" And you didn't jump off, Jehn?"
'" Xe, sir, I steed te her te the last, " he
said with ihmness aud a tiuge of pride in
his voice, "feri was determined te save
tlie paity if possible."
"Are you badly hint?" was asked.
"Oh, I don't knew, sir. There's atcr
liblcptinin my back and side, and I am
afraid it'.s pretty bad."
A half hour later Mr. and Mrs. Hayes
were seen coming, with tears in their
eves, fiem the room where he lay suffer
ing. Xe mcmbei of Mr. Hayes's party was
sci iensly injured. Mrs. Herion, of Cincin
nati, received slight injuries te an arm.
.Mis. Hayes, although thrown te the fleer,
was net injured, .vir. uayes's cliair was
moved a few inches, but was net over
turned. Minnie, Mis. Hayes's colored
maid, was thrown off a sofa, where she
was l.ving cm led up asleep, through an
adjoining cempaitment. In the next car
in the rear Mis. Ejls wife of the president
of the Lake Eiie & Western read, was
slightly injured by being thrown against a

The talk of the city te-night is about
the Pennsylvania contingent of militia
which matched in the Second division.
Gov. Heyt rode with Gen. Hartranft at
the head of his beely of Xatienal Guards
man, and may very well be proud of them.
By the time this division reached the head
of the avenue tue streets were already dry
aud the wind was- already blowing light
clouds of dust into the air. The condi
tions for matching could scarcely have
been better,se the 18 regiments from Penn

simple, setviceable uniform, with knap
sacks and blankets rellcel upon tketm

A TBRRIBLE FIRE.
TIIK DANVILLE ASYLUM XX IKtJINS.
The Fire IlreaklDg Out in the Evening after
Mtuiy or the Patients had .Retlreil
Tne 350 Inmates Saved Seme
.Escape te the Weeds.
The large and costly state hospital for
the insane, located a short distance above
Danville, Menteur ceuuty, Pa., was de de
stteyed by fire en Saturday night. The
asylum steed in a large park, en an emi
nence oveileoking the Susquehanna river.
Just before 9 o'clock the watchman dis
covered smoke issuing from an unoccupied
loom in the centre et the east wing,
which was being repainted. This room con
tained a let of paint and combustible ma
teiial. In a short time the flames swept
through the window, the dry pine burning
like tinder. The alarm was instantly
given, and the officers sprang into the cor
ridors te unbolt the bais of the various
warels coutaiiiinglheso patients who had
already retired for the night. Superinten
dent Schultz and his assistants, however,
seen realized that the patients wetc becom
ing beyond their control, and that the
limited water supply was net sufficient te
help them save the building. . Many ei
the inmates realized their danger, which
excited their maladies, and it required al
most supethuman effbits te restrain them
fiem doing themselves pciseual violence.
The authorities caused telegrams te be
sent te many of the neighboring towns
asking assistance. The condition of the
leads was such that assistance fiem Dan
ville, a mile and a half distant, could net
be rendered until the fire had gained great
headwaj . The steam lire engitte belong
ing te the borough was dragged through
the deep snow by six heiscs, but was ren
dered useless seen after going into service
by the breaking of some of its machinery.
It was new after midnight, and the sky
was lighted up the glare of the burning
building as the flames belched from the
upper wiudews and through the reef. The
whole populace of the town was en the
alert, anil hundreds of people hurried out
te the asylum te render what assistance
they could. As thu night wetc away
the scene became grander and the
lire assumed appalling propettions.
The thought that nearly iive hundred
pet. sons in all stages of lunacy wetc
impiisened within the stone walls of the
enoimeus building and in danger id' being
consumed in the iiety futnacc raging
within was stattling and hundreds turned
pale as they gazed upon the tetriijing
spectacle. Dr. Schultz was new convinced
that the greater pet tieu of the asylum was
deemed te desttuetien and he at once gave
eiders te lemevc all the pilicnts te the
outbuildings in the rear, which consisted
of the boiler house, laundry, storage
looms, woiksheps and bake house, which
wcre located a'leut one bundled and
fifty feet fiem the main s'liictutc.
Xevv commenced the most touching
scene of this night of tenor, the removal
of the patients from their comfortable
quarters te the outbuildings. They were
hurried out by their attend ints and es
ertcd te the temporal y looms pievided
for them. Many of them were wild with
excitement and could net realize what was
being done, whilst etheis comprehended
the true situation and were aiixieiid te
te lite te a place of safety. It was
necessary te hut ry out some te the pa
tients in a half-dressed condition toes tees
cape the suffocating smoke weich was roll
ing thiouglfthe coriidets. Sonic of them
did net havff time te get their hats, beets
or coats, but sped tl dibits were mule te
save as much of the bedding as possible in
order te make them comfortable. These
without shoes mai cited thieugh the snow
in their slecking feet and etheis shivered
as the fiesty air fell upon them. All wcre
secured, however, without the less of a
single life and theyhave been kept in as
geed condition as possible. Many of the
worst patients had net only te be se
cured, but looked after with extra cue.
It was a sad sight t sec these peer,
demented creature:; huddled in their
new quaitcis. Many were lying upon
the uncarpcted floors, rolled up in their
blankets or standing about in a dazed con
dition, while ethers wetc making nicrty
ever the calamity without understanding
clearly what was the causa of their new
condition. Dr. Schultz and his assistants,
Drs. Scip and Meredith, were up all night
looking after their patients, and as lie
day were away they wetc still en utity,
though looking veiy much weatied. All
the lurnituic, much of the clothing of the
inmates, the libraiy and everything be
longing te Dr. Schultz, who resided in the
building, was destroyed. He devoted iiis
whole time te seeing that thcunfeituuatcs
confided te his charge were saved and
never thought of himself or his own pio pie
perty, and he was calm, though deeply
moved, at the calamity which had over
taken the institution ever which lie had
ptesided from the beginning.
The eiigin of the fire is attiibuted te
spontaneous combustion iit the vvaid where
the painter had been at weik. The theory
is that rags had become saturated with
turpentine and ether chemicals and weie
piled in the closet where the fire broke out.
As the building was kept at an even tem
perature of about seventy degrees day and
night combustion might tike place under
such conditions or fire might have been
communicated te rags or ether cembusti
ble mateual from a pipe or cigar used 'by
some of the weikmen and smeuldered till
it gained sufficient strength te b-iist fetth
into flames.
At about G o'clock yesterday morning
the fire was thought te be under control,
but it broke out again, aud reached the
west wing, which was also dcstiejcd
except eight or ten wards. The hospital
was supplied with water irem a large res
ervoir, but it was impossible te get a suf
ficent fetce ou te be of any avail.
The citizen1! of Danville inn tied te the
asylum and lent their aid in conducting
the patients out of the burning building.
Most of them were in the hospital chapel
at evening service when the fire was dis
covered, and were, therefore, mere easily
kept under cou'ieland together. The of
ficials of the asylum took charge of the
mere desperate cases, and thus none were
given opportunity te escape. .About 50
patients were safely gotten out, and the
authorities say that net a single life
was lest. The most of the na-
ticnts will have te be distributed te
the ether state institutions until some
arrangements can be made for their care.
The managet s are doing all in their power
te make them comfet table. They arc
new being attended te in outside buildings
en the main ground and in that paitef
the west wing which was net burned.
Several are known te have escaped fiem
the keepers. One has been found at
Bloemsburgf twelve miles distant. A
number of patients were taken away by
friends, and it is expected mere will be
called for.
The building was in piecess of erection
for some eleven years, and was enlv com
pleted last year, costing the state about
8000,000. It was a substantial structure,
euut et stone with, 1.140 leet lrent, with
a centre building and three sections en
each side, covering an aiea of one and
three-quarter acres, and capable of accom
modating 700 patients. The lire showed J i
faulty constiuctien of the building, in net
having fire walls above the reef between
the different sections, as the fire spread
rearly the length of the stiucture of the
reef. There is an insurance of about
$230,000 en the hospital ami furniture.
Philadelphia is excited ever the seizure
en its market of " bob " and " monkey "
veal, which is the meat of calves but a few
days old, that had been laid upon the
block te be cut up for sale.

SA1UKDAY i:Vl.NI0' SHOW.
A Vcrj .oe(t Mliihtrel and Variety Knter-
t.tltmifiit.
On Saturday a minstrel and specially
cntcrtainmcut was given in the opera
house. Xcatly all of the talent in the city
appeared and they gave a iitst-class show.
The audience was small. In the fiist
part Geerge Mvcrs, Charley Shay, Jehn
Retallick and Dan. Glcmmcns appealed en
the cuds, attired in bran new suits ; each
sang a song in geed style and kept the
audience laughing at their new jokes.
Geeigc W. Pentz and J. A. Tieyer each
sang a ballad.
The second act of the pcrfeimaticc began
with Celeman and Geedman's song and
dance, which would have done ciedit te
professionals. Jack Cenner's Dutch lecture
ou polities was ccttainly very funny and he
received lets et applause. Witmcr aiui
Finger's bar act was veiy creditable and
later in the evening they, together with
Ilarnhait, gave an excellent exhibition of
tumbling. The musical act of Clemmens
aud Retallick as usual was very fine, the
former doing his drum sole iu geed style.
Retallick alterwards appeared with his
banjo, which he knows hew te play, and
he entei tained the audience well for a
time. Shay, Myers and Daily appear
ed in a laughable sketch entitled " The
Stage Struck Heroes," and the two for
mer sang a medley, composed of eleven
different songs, in inimitable style. The
sketch of " The Men of Xcrve" was very
well acted by Tem Daily and Gcerce W.
Goedhatt, and there was some lively .spar
ring m it. Temmy Mack appealed iu his
popular Irish act, making a change fiem
leugh te neat, and as usual he made a hit.
Coulman and Tcmpleten's clog was very
neat. The show closed with a veiy funny
sketch entitled ' Scenes in Marietta ; or.
Hew Wc Get Left."
