THE SUPERINTENDENT OF A CHEMI
CAL WOIIK3 BLOWN INTO FRAG
MENTS. Allentown, Nov. 19. Notwithstand
ing hundreds of people have been eu
gaged since Friday searching for the
remains of Horatio C. Welch, the
superintendent of the Cold Spring
Chemical Works, who was blown into
pieces by the explosion of the nitro
glycerine magazine," only a few small
pieces have been found not enough to
half fill a cigar box. Among the
pieces are two small bits of skin and
flesh covered with hair, supposed to
be portions of the scalp. These are no
bigger than a silver dollar. It is not
likely that more of Mr. Welsh will be
found. The explosion w'as no doubt
the result of carelessness on the part
of Welsh, who it was observed did
not of late exercise that care which
the character of the business demands.
Nitro-glyceriue freezes at a temperature
of forty degrees, and it is the commonly
accepted belief that some of the frozen
oil having clogged the spigot Welch
used a nail in opening a passage for the
oil, aud this no doubt caused the ex
plosion. The trees in the immediate
vicinity of the works attest to the
great force of the detonation. Some
were uprooted aud thrown many feet
away j others had their limbs shattered,
and some measuring slxto eight inches
in diameter were snapped oft' as though
they were mere twigs. Rocks, some
very heavy, were hurled in all direc
tions, aud it is suprislng that no more
lives were lost or greater damages
caused to the other buildings. The
scenes of the explosion has been visited
by hundreds of people." Work at the
manufactory will probably be resumed
in a few days. '
Walls Papered With Rocsters.
McKeesport, Nov. 18. Last night
John F. Neel, Esq., one of the oldest
and wealthest citizens of Mifflin town
ship, held a political gathering at his
home. He is an uncompromising
Democrat and his wife is a patriotic
Republican. The parlor walls were
plastered with copies of Democratic
papers containing illustrations of roos
ters. From a large cake iu the centreof
the supper table there projected the top
of a coon's tail.jto which was pinned a
card bearing the words, "Will return
iu 1884."
One morning recently Mr. Mark
HJrsch, of Covington, arose from his
bed at three o'clock A. M.. to go to
his work in a glass factory. Before
leaving the house he shook the ashes
down in the jrmrlor stove, aud, as he
supposed, closed the doors and draft,
but probably left the door open. Mr.
J. B. Hirsch came along a short
time afterwards, and upon opening
the door smelled the gas and knew
something was wrong. Upon enter
ing he found Mrs. II. -and the oldest
child lying helpless on the floor,
whom he immediately carried out
doors, and sent for a physician. The
youngest child still occupied the bed,
and not one of the three was able to
move or utter a sound, and were
nearly suffocated. The physician says
that had their situation been dis
covered fifteen minutes later the case
would have been hopeless. As it was
the parties soon recovered. It was
certainly a narrow escape from death.

In about three weeks the Forty-
seventh Congress will meet to hold its
final session. In the regular order of
things, the House' elected last week
does not come together for more than
a year. The legislative body which
the people have just castigated con
tinues in existence until March 4, 1883;
and it still has another year's appropri
ations to make.
Will the Forty-seventh Congress, in
its last hours, heed the voice of the
people? The demand for honest and
economical appropriations was em
phatic enough, but it by no means
follows that the next session will be
distinguished for honesty and econ
omy. We have nowhere seen notice of the
somewhat curious fact that just a
majority of the present House failed to
be re-elected. The present House con
sists of 293 members. Of these 140
will sit in the next House, while 147
will turn their attention to other fields
of effort.
From the 1st of December, therefore,
until the 4th of March, the control
of business in the lower branch of
Congress will be in the hands of a ma
jority made up of defeated Republicans
and Democrats, public servants on
whom the people have already served
notice to quit whipped, disappoint
ed, in some cases desperate men, who
have nothing further to lose politically
and everything to gain personally.
Experience has shown that there is
no more reckless jobber than the Con
gressman whose successor is elected,
aud whose public career awaits the
certain limit set by the almanao
and the clock.

HE rROIOSES TO HAVE AN INAtJOURA
TION THAT SHALL NOT COST THE
PEOPLE ONE DOLLAR.
The board of the officers bf the Slate
Fencibles' Battalion having offered
the Services of the battalion to Governor-elect
Pattison as escort from
Philadelphia to Harrisburg on the oc
casion of his Inauguration, he has
declined the offer in a letter to Charles
Berger,adjutunt and secretary of board
of officers, in the following letter I
Philadelphia, Nov. 18, 1882.
My Dear Sir: I desire to acknowl
edge the receipt of your letter advis
ing me on the resolution unanimously
passed at a meeting of the board of of
ficers of the Sluto Fencibles, battalion
tendering me the services of the bat
talion as an escort from my home to
Harrisburg on the occasion of the in
auguration of the Governor of the
Commonwealth in January next.
This letter is only one of many I am
daily 'receiving of similar import
from various organizations, both civil
aud military. As I was at one time a
member and president of your battal
ion, it is not improper that I relect my
reply to your invitation as a method
of communicating my purpose as to
the inauguration to all those organiz
ations that have already addressed me
on the subject or might be likely to
take any action in the matter in the
future. For the personal compliment
intended to be bestowed upou me by
these friends I am sincerely grateful,
but must decline to accept their kind
offers, for the reasons I am about to
state. I have always entertained a
profound conviction that a simple
and undemonstrative inauguration of
public officers was most iu accord with
the spirit of republican institutions.
There is no reasou that I can see why
the mere taking of an oath by the
citizen called by the people to execute
a public trust should be made the oc
casion for scones of pageantry and
demonstration. To my mind the
solemn ness of the act is marred by the
intrusion of sucii needless and inop
portune display. The sooner we re
turn to simplicity and democratic
good sense iu these matters the better
better for the people and better for
the officers. Besides, I am resolutely
determined that, so far as I can con
trol the matter, my inauguration as
Governor shall not cost the people of
Pennsylvania one dollar. Why should
it? They derive no benefit from such
scenes and the money spent thereon
is wasted.
These are my reasons for declining
your kind offer. I trust tiiey may meet
your approval. Of course, the in
auguration is a public act aud takes
place in the eye of the public. There
fore it is the right of such citizens as
desire to do so voluntarily aud at their
own expense to be present at and
witness the ceremony. All such I
will be glad to see aud meet on that
occasion. More than that I do not
wish to inspire and cannot approve.
Respectfully yours,
Kohkut E. Pattison.
Indiana's Total Vote.
OVER TWENTY THOUSAND REPUBLI
CANS STAY-AT-HOJie.
Indianapolis, Nov. 18. The total
vote cast in Indiana at the late elec
tion was as follows: For Secretary of
State, Hawn (Republican). 210,169;
Myers (Democrat), 220,978; Leonord
(Greeubacker), 13,129. The Democratic
plurality is 10,809, and the party is
iu a minority of 2320 compared will)
the vote of 1880. The Republican
vote has decreased 21,995, the Demo
cratic vote 4544, while the Greenback
vote has increased 143 a net decrease
on the total vote of 26,396 as com
pared with the vote on representatives
in the General Assembly. The total
majority in favor of submitting the
constitutional amendments to a direct
vote of the people the issue upon
which the Republicans and Green
backers are in harmony is 37G2; yet
the Democrats have the control of
both Houses of the Legislature, with
a joint majority of twenty-two. The
Green backers have but one member
a representative in the lower House.
It is understood that Joseph S. Daily
will contest the seat of Major George
W. Stael, from the Eleventh district,
while the seat of Major Calkins, from
the Thirteenth district, will be con
tested. There is also talk of Mr.
English contesting Mr. Peel's election.
This talk all grows out of the
idea that a party in power will
pay no attention to a small majority,
however honest; aud it is expected
that Mr. Calkins will have to go be
cause of his action as chairman of the
committee on elections at the last
session. If a contest should be pushed
in this district, t he evidence would
open up the blackest page of Demo
cratic intimidation and corruption
ever known in Indiana. It will not
be undertaken.

An Anil Cameron Senator.
THE MAN WHOM THE VOTERS OP THE
THIRTY-SIXTH SENATORIAL DIS
TRICT HAVE CHOSEN.
Bedford, Nov. 14. The return
Judges of the Thirty-sixth Senatorial
district met here to-day and issued the
certificate of election to J. H. Lon
geneker, whose official majority is J53.
Although it has been well known in
the district ever since last Wednesday
morn i ng that Longenecker was elected,
a number of newspajwrs have contin
ued to keep the name of his Demo
cratic opponent on the list of senators
elect. The vote iu the district was as
follows: Longenecker, Republican,
7152; Reynolds, Democrat, 6999;
Conley, Independent, 656. Four years
ago, Grof, Democrat, was elected by
622 majority. Mr. Longenecker has
redeemed the district, notwithstand
ing the Independent vote and the dis
sentious In the Republican parly.
Probably no other man in the district
could have done this. Mr. Longe
necker is an puti-Cameron man, n
thorough Republican, and has always
favored purer methods in politics.

THE CLOUDS AilOVE THE I; EAD OF
M AC'ilAVOY, THE GltKE.VBAl'KEU,
VANISHING.
Erie, Nov. 11. William Mackavoy,
the Greenback political! who became
suddenly insane on account of Paul
son's election over Armstrong, after
being lodged in jail continued very
violent until .Sunday afternoon, when
a change for the better was noted. Up
to that time he remained in his cell,
angrily diiving away every person
who attempted to enter, and obsti
nately refusing to swallow either food
or medicine. At frequent intervals he
would upset a pail of water on the
floor and mop himself lu the moisture,
apparently deriving a vast amount of
satisfaction from li is imitation of a
pig rolling in a gutter. Then on get
ting up he would send the bed clothes
flying all over the cell aud kick them
under the bed while ho wiped himself
over the floor again, when exercise
with the quilts, pillows, eta, was
called in play to assist him iu whiling
away his leisure time. After dinner
he suddenly grew quiet and the light
of insanity faded from his eyes. Open
ing the door of his cell he walked out
into ills corridor and entered into con
versation with the iailor. suviiiir the
clouds which enveloped his head were
vanisinng and that his boiling brain
was growing cooler. Warden Rath
bun says that unless he goes off on poli
tics again, thereby produeinga relapse,
he will completely recover his senses
in a few days, thus obviating the neces
sity of removing him to Warreu for
treatment.
Democrats Must Show Their Hands.
Chicago Tlmes.J
The Democrats for a good while
have been talking very sweetly for
civil service reform, tariff reform,
curtailments of appropriations, re
ductions of internal taxes, and all
manner of nice things. They have
viewed the course of the deprived
party in power with alarm, and in no
measured terms have denounced it for
its corruption and extravagance. Next
winter they will have complete con
trol of the lower House of Congress.
Will they improve upon the party
which they succeed? They will have
a clear majority of eighty over the
Republicans, and no better opportu
nity could be presented to demonstrate
the sincerity of their professions. The
public will look for reform and econ
omy. "The devil when sick a monk
would be," but when iu the enjoy
ment of robust health he is pretty cer
tain to "cut up" as wickedly as ever.
Is this the case of the Democrats ?

A Miracle.
Whenever there is an extraordinary
occurrence a team runs over a child
without hurting it: a mechanic falls
from a third-story window, nnd iu a
week after he is at work again, we are
want to exclaim, "what a miracle!''
So when. Mrs. T. S. Ererline, then of
Allegheny City, Pa., hud been sick
with Consumption for a very long
time, had been told by several of the
best jihysiciaus of that city that her
time was but for a few hours,' that she
must die, and when the use of but one
bottle of Pertitia in a week's time
placed her on her feet again and made
her the heartest eater of the family, all
the people around, as with one rejoic
ing voice, exclaimed. "What a won
derful miracle!" See page 10 of the
"Ills of Life. ' Your Druggist will
