FOB I'0IB HOUS-K D1BECTOB JOSEni G. COLEMAN, of BrotherBTallcy Township From il prominent points, east and w6t, the icrchnU and manu facturers are feeling jabilant over the proppwtt of a large and active fall trade.'and a general revival of busi ness. Farming lands in Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota and some parts of Wiscon sin are increasing in value, and the Ctii.-ago Trihune looks upon the fact as a turning point in the depression of all kinds of real estate. The question of woman's suffrage is to be submitted to a vole of the people of Colorado at the October election. Lucy Stone and otber ad vocates of the measure are stumping the State in its interest. The public debt was reduced dur ing the month of August three million. eight hundred thousand dollars. That is the financial record of the Republican party. It speaks more in its favor than all the platforms in the United States. EitiHTr-oxE bands in the Govern ment Printing Office have. Leen thrown out of employment; cause democratic economy The Judicial department is at a 8tand-6til!, the army and navy unpaid, the arsenals and Government machiLe-shops closed all this is the result of Democratic "economy." ' The Iowa papers are discussiog the record of John P. Irish, Demo Tatic candidate for Governor. The DesMoines Jteyitter says : "His own words can be produced to show that tie was a meaner, a more slanderous, more cowardly vilifier of the Union rause, the Union soldiers, and Presi dent Lincoln, than Henry Clay Dean ever was." A f ftr.c trade Convention assem bled at Saratoga on Friday last, at whicfe resolutions were adopted at tributing the hard times in this country to our protective tariff. The Convention forgot to explain, ho ever, why Great Britain, wiih free trade is suffering worse that we are. We will have plenty of this kind of twaddle injected into the coming political can raws, with the hope of catching the votes of the workingmen iow out of employment. The Democrats bave a faint bope f electing lion. William P. Schell, of Itedford, to the office of Auditor General, by attracting to Lis support the vote of the wortiogmeu'a party. The workingmen of the State must Ins troubled with very 6hort memo ries, if they have forgotten how Mr. ScbcH accepted a nomination for Governor at their bands in 18?2, and shortly before tbe election withdrew in favor of tbe Democratic candidate, Charles R. Buckalew. It remains to le seen whether be can a second time use the workingmen as a tail f or the Democratic kite. Tut favor with which tbe Repub lican Slate ticket Las been received and the untainted approval accorded the platform, indicate that tbe pref erence of the entire Republican party Las been declared. We have not mcd in any Repablicao newspaper a ingle objection to the candidates or au unfavorable criticism of tbe plat form; neither is the support half hearted or spiritless. The bitterness with which tbe Democratic ticket was received ia some quarters and tbe ridicule the platform excited, are aowhre visible within oar party to wards the work of yesterday's con vention. Tbe candidates are respect ed for tdcir ability and integrity, and tbe platform is regarded as a manly, out-spokeo declaration of principles. llarrtMwrq TeltyrafJi, The New York Tmet that baa in vested largely in "Civil Service Re form" is badly disgruntled over tbe anion of the Cabinet on Thursday last, at which it was . resolved to make new appointments to the offices of Collector, Surveyor, and Naval Officer of tbe Port of Stw York. Tbe present officers are all verycom petent and acceptable, and tbe com mission of bat one of them has ex pired. There are do charges against tbem, bo "cause" for their removal, except to provide positions for others, and tbe 2 totes thinks that oa tbe President' ewa theory, "a good officer Is entitled to at least one re appointment," and that according to most Civil Service Reformcri,aa officer should be removed only "for eanse." It concludes also that, "there is a strong flavor of disingenuousness bout the busioes," and that just ex actly what is civil service reform, ne fellow can find oat Of this last conviction, the Timet does not by ny meant enjoy a monopoly. JL J 1 JL 1 i The "Independent" aod irreprefsi ! tie presses jost now gutting most lor jingly over a reunion of Federal and Confederate soldiers which took place ! at Marietta Ohio, last week. We are 'told tLat "patriotism crvstalized" if ' "l m any body knows what that is, and that the affair was alike honorable to the State and the cation, and the millennium was inaugurated. We lave a faint recollection of having Leard this kind of gush on wveral previous occasion, and we would est like to know how Soutbern men, who didn't wear the grey, eojoyed the millennium served up to tbem du ring the lan political canvass. Let us have a few reunions at which "crysUlized patriotism" is disLed out ia Mississippi, Louisiana, South Car olina and other Southern States, and we'll feel like taking a little more stork in the Marietta Millennium. The "I .dependent ! press" of tLe Stale, in its role of second fiddle to the Democracy, is laboring to pro duce the impression that the contest between ReeJer and Passmore fur Domination was really a struggle be tween the friends of Hartranlt and Senator Cameroa. Some color is giv en to this charge, by the foolish speech of Wolf, and the indecent dec larations of Mayor Xorris (formerly the Governor's private Secretary). Rut the Governor has tioce disown ed any responsibility for Norris' re marks, while Col. Reeder positively mates that the Senator did not antag onize him. The whole ticket is en tirely acceptable to the party through out the State, and the silly allegation that there is a breach among promi nent officials regarding the nomina tions, will only fool those w ho take any stock in the weak invention. The Republican State Convention which assembled at Harrisburg on Wednesday of last week was organ ganized by the selection of Hox. Wm II. Armstrong of Lycoming as Presi dent, with forty-seven Vice Presi dents and seven Secretaries. A Com mittee of fifty, of which IToq. John Cessna was Chairman, was appointed to frame a platform published else where which was unanimously adopted. Nox. James P. Steiirf.tt of Pittsburgh for Judge of the Su preme Court, and Cait. Wm. B. Hart cf Montgomery forState Treas urer, were nominated by acclamation, and oa first ballot J. A. M. Passmore of Schuylkill county was nominated for Auditor General, tbe vote being Passmore Howard J Reeder 82. Tbe sessions of the Convention were remarkably harmonious, the only contest being between Passmore and Reeder for Auditor General. During the pendency of these nominations Mr. George Wolfe of Union county, a blathering ex-member of tbe Legis lature who has a grievance, because he, la8tyear,failed to procure a nomination for Senator attempted to create a flurry by takiDg tbe floor and charging that Boeder's nomination was opposed by ibe friends of Senator Cameron because he (Reeder) was 'a personal friend of Governor Ilartranft. This silly diaree was treated with contempt, no one deigning to reply to it, and immediately there after, the first and only ballot was taken, and Passmore was nominated. The platform of resolutions adopted by the Convention is manly, strong, explicit and praiseworthy, and in mark ed contract with the shuffling, unin telligible, demagogic trash uttered by the Democracy at their late Con vention. On tbe labor question, the denunciation of mob violence, and the hearty commendation of Governor Ilartranft's fcarlss enforcement of law under the platform is worthy of tbe highest praise, while tbe views expressed in regard to tbe "Southern Policy" of tbe National Administration, recognizing as they do tbe difference of opinion in the party at tbe seme time declaring con fidence in tbe President's patriotic motives, and hoping the "experiment" may result in peace, good will and! tbe complete recognition of tbe equal rights of all men in every eection of tbe country, will be received in good part by Republicans entertaining di verse views o tin subject, ia all parts of the State. With so unexceptionable a ticket and platform, the party can go into the coming cauvass with every as surance of success, nay, absolutely certain to wia, if tbe proper effort is made. WORK Or THE CONVENTION. It has rarely happened that a State Convention at wh-ch so little contest developed as to candidates, ba been more largely attended than the Republican convention just ad journed. Tbe hotels and streets ad jacent were as much thronged, tbe, night pivt-. a log the convention, as on tbe ca-ia of tbe fiercest contests in former years. It was understood lht there wax no contest a to Sup reme Jude or Treasurer; while for Auditor General it soon developed that Passmore was gaining strength against Reeder. There was compar atively little interest io this fight and what there was seemed to turn on tbe wish that a new candidate might be brought forward. Senator Billing sly waa mentioned, but be was not pushed with skill or energy. As a result by Wednesday morning it was understood there was no real fight a to tbe ticket Tbe platform was the real source of anxiety, and this commanded the unreserved attention of party leaders. The result embodies the Lest judg ment of all present and is the pro duct of long and earnest deliberation. Perhaps its wording would hare been improved had not so much labor and anxiety been expended on the esaence o( tbe platform. But never before were there so many resolutions brought forward, or was there so much platform work done. The pre vailing sentiment of ibe Convention was anti-Hayes, as regards his South ern policy, though there was a re spectable minority ia bis favor. If tbe expression oa this subject shall seem to go to a considerable length, it will be borne ia mind that it waa freely and readily conceded by tbe anti-Hayes element in tbe interest of gMHMpjMqpasafi harmony and peace The absence of a Civil Service Re - form resolution is attribulablo to tbe same reason. 1 here were amerences of opinion as to tbe details of tbe question, what should be consider ed to constitute Civil Service Reform, and as tbe Republican party ia the State bad made for itself a clear ana favorable record on tbe subject, it was thougbt it could 6afelr omit any fur- ther pxnre.asioo. So in regard to tbe repeal of tbe resumption act To fa i o vor its repeal without seeming to fa vor the mor-t unguarded inOalioa was thought difficult, except through a long and careful worded resolution ; and as there is time enough for that, besides its being a question of exped iency, likely to be governed by events yet to transpire, it was thought Ut ter to make no uclivcrence on tLe subject. The unqualified demand on silver remonetizau'on should, without doubt, meet all expectations in that direction. The remaining portion of the work of the Convetion do not require spec ial mention at our hands. It is in full accord with the sentiments of the party, as is shown by the circum stances that while many delegates brought resolutions, they embodied, in different forms of expression, the same general features the platform enunciates. t e conclude, tneretore, thut tbe platform represents the aver age views ot the party m toe estate, and that it is thus likely to receive the fu'.l support of the party. In this view, as well as that it meets our ideas, we cordially commend, and re gard the work of tbe Conveution as having been unusually well done. Ia this we think the party will agree, and agreeing will ratify ius work with a good majority at the polls PitU lurj L'in mcrcia l-Ga zette. Jl'IXiE JAMES P. STEI1RETT. Hon. James I Sterrett, the Repub lican nominee for Judge of the Su preme Court, is a geutleman whose eminent qualities both in private life and as a public character are well known and universally acknowledged. Most of his professional life has been spent in this county, where he has built up an unassailable reputation for those high qualities as a gentleman and a jurist which fit him ia an emin ent degree for the elevated position which he now occupies and to which be was renominated yesterday. He is about fifty-fire years of age, having been born in a neighboring county of this State, but having been long en gaged ia practice at thu bar of this county. He was associated with Hon. J. P. Penny for many years in legal practice. In i"G2 te wa? first elected to the President J udgeship of tbe Court of Common Pleas of this countv. now tie Common Pleas Court Xo. 1. He was re-elected to the same position in 1S72, aDd among tbe high testimonials which have been given to his enviable reputation as a Judge is tbe fact that the Dem ocracy then declined to put a candi date into lb: field against Li n. When Judge Williams died, last spring. Judge Sterrett was appointed by the Governor to succeed to the vacancy thus created 03 the Supreme Bench, and he now receives th nomination without opposition. His high char acter and great legal abilities will in sure his election by a a overwhelming majority, to which Allegheny oounty will be sure to contribute more than ber full quota of votes. CAl'T. V. B. HART. Capt. Y. B. Hart was bjrn in Montgomery coun'.y, Pennsylvania, on the 15th day of March, SJ2, and was educated at common schools. At tbe age of fourteen be commenced to earn bis own livelihood bv bis own seeking as a farm band. Upon ar riving at tbe age of seventeen be was apprenticed at tbe brick-laying busi ness for four years, having served two and one-half years when the call tor tbe three months' troops was made by the General Government in 1 SCI. Enlisted as a private io Co, "F." 51st Penn'a Vols, for three years j aervr ed with great gallantry in the east and southwest, participa'ing in all the battles in which his command was engaged. His many qualities and soldierly bearing attracted the attention of General Ilartranft, who recommended him in a highly flatter ing manner to lion. M. Stanton, Secretary of War, for appointment as an Assistant Adjutant General of Vols, with tbe rank of captain ; upon this recommendation and after pass ing a creditable examination, te was immediately appointed and served with General Ilartranft's permanent command until the dote of tbe war, being mustered out of service as a volunteer officer under War Depart ment orders dated September 1 9, 1 805. In February, 1877, Captain Hart re ceived en appointment to a clerkship in tbe rfeasgry department, was promoted to the responsible position of Cashier in 1877, sucieeiing tbe Hon. Thomas Nicholson, whose con fidence and friendship Captain Hart enjoyed to the end of his predecessor's life. ' The following extract from a private letter, written ia October, fc"5 ( , ly r. N icholson, (after Cap lain Hart Lad accepted tbecleiksbip) .will serve to iiiustrati tbe confidence enjoyed by repress ntaUw mpo even at that time : "Wilb bis piessiog man ner, great qualifications, strict integ rety, be ought to succeed, he must succeed." lie is thoroughly acquaint ed witb and qualified for tbe duties of the position, and Io fcis official in tercourse has merely eon arc; e a pre viously established reputation for courtesy and integrity not surpris ed. ' o. t. a. . PASSMORE. John Andrew Morrow passmore, the nominee for Auditor General, was born in Chester, Pa., ia 1838, and is therefore forty-two years of age. He was educated at tSe Bute for mal School, at Millerstowo, being a member of tbe first class that gradua ted front that institution. lie was admitted to practice at tbe bar ia lSOfi, and commenced bis legal ca reer at Pottsville. Ia 18G9 he was appointed General Agent for Pennsyl vania of tbe Metropolitan Life Insur ance Company of Xew York, to the duties of which position he baa since given his principal attention, although still retaining his standing at the bar of Luzerae county. He ia well kcown as a man eminently calculat ed to add strength to the ticket. In tbe canvass for tbe nomination be bu shown what be is able to accomplish by bis ova untiring exertions. He is a fuant talker and possesses a won derful fund of euerey acd plock as a worker. He will make an abt a&4 active State officer Pitlaurg fjom werciel'QaieiU. . THE rLATYtHty. I. While we recognize and resjjett the difference of opinion existing amoug ds as to the course pursued by President . Hayes towards thi Sooth, we are ia hearty accord ia honoriug the patriotic motives which bave guided him and in hoping that tbe results of bis policy will be peace, I good-will and (he conipLsta recajn'. ! , lion of the Equal Kfghis of li men ! to the efforts of his administration to canr into effect tbe principles of tbe platform upon which he wax elected, we pledge our beartv and cordial eopport 2. The Electoral Commission bav- ing been created at the urgent solfcit- ation or ibe Democratic party and ei ter the oft-repeated declarations of its leaders ia both Houses of Con gress that no fiction could cavil at its uecisions, we witness, with profouud astonishment, the assaults of that par ty upon ibe august tribunal of its own creation, beciuse its decisions disap-; poiated tbeir expectations of official patronage. Such assaults, so far as they seek to impair tbe confidence of the people iu the just tulo of tbe 1 res ident to bis high oflice, are equally childish and foolish, but may become extremely mischievous ia assisting to diminish tbo popular respect for the decisions of lawful tribunals. 3. We respectfully but earnestly entreat all members of tbe National and State Legislatures to assist the return of prosperity to this great and rich country by adopting such meas ures to that end as are in tbeir power : to devote less attention to partisan strife and more attention to business interests of tbe country, in order that wise and proper laws may be passed to let sen the burdens of labor and in crease its rewards ; to encourage and restore to activity legitimate industri al enterprises, and to enable tbe country to find a foreign market for its surplus products and manufact ures. 4. That the Republican party, in passing ibe Homestead Law, inaug urated and is firmly committed to the policy that the public lands belong to tbe people and should be sacredly re-j served to actual settlers, free of cost to whoever will occupy them ia good faith, and that all laws permitting tbe acquisiiiou ol more than ODe hun dred and sixty acres of such public land, by any one person, should be repealed. 5. That we are opposed to the pol icy, heretofore prevailing, of renew ing patents by act of Congress, and we fvor such a revision of tbo pat ent laws as will hereafter prevent the renewal of any patent C. That the long and successful ex istence under tbe laws of Congress of tbe double coiu standard warrants us iu demanding an early repeal of the legislation which demonetized silver and established an almost exclusive gold standard ; and we therefore fa vor a returp of the free use and unre stricted coinage of the dollar of 1793, and its restoration to the position it held as a legal tender during eighty years of our national existence, thus preserving tbe equality of the com, mercial value of tbe silver dollar with the gold dollar, and keeping both in circulation. 7. That the administration of Gov ernor Ilartranft calls for our warmest approbation, lie has established a State policy which has justly endear ed him to tbe people of t us Common wealth, and has amply justified the confidence placed in him. Tbe steady reduction of the State debt during bis administration, and tbe success ful refunding of a large portion of tbe debt at a lower rate of interest, are the best pjssible evidence that the State Las beeq wel and eponomically governed, and that the people bave everything to Lope and nothing to fear from a continuance of tLe Re publican party in power. 8 We are in favor of law and order against lawlessness and auarchy, with all their attendant horrors and crimes. Equal Rights in making laws impose equal duties ia obeying them, when made ; and we tendar our hearty thanks 0 Governor Ilartranft and tbe officers and soldiers cf his com mand for tbe prompt, and, we bope, the effectual suppression of the la . less disturbance which recently oc curred in this State. 9. That we hold ia equal respect tbe rights of capital to control its in vestment, and of labor to determine the value of its services ; that we depreciate any assertion by violence of tbe rights of either, and wa assert as tbe duty of all citizens to hold tbeir respective rights within the just imi tations of law, and that any attempt to coerce others by unlawful means should be promptly repressed by such lawful authorities as the exigency demand'. 10. Wt regrot to oltMirfe that ibe Democratic parly of J'ennsylvani is afraid to express a decided opinion on any question of present political importance, except its open declara tion ia favor of Free Trade, and tbat it still cherishes tbe delusion that expressions c-f political opinions ought either to mean anything or no thing, as may best tend to secure tbe restoration of that party to the con trol of the offices and the Treasury of the Commonwealth. We are confi dent tbat the intelligent citizens of lb 13 great State will continue to eo trusj the popduct of affairs to the par ty vhii-li 1)3 Lpen zealous in tbe maintenance of its credit, vigilant in defense oi iu honor, prompt ip the enforcement of its laws, and whose past administration of Its govern ment has been honest and competent, and ftarlcstJy faitnful to the best in terests of all men, as well as all clasaps 551 conditions of men within ber boroeri. 11. Tbat we renttw or ofi repeat ad declarations la far or of adequate protection to American industry, and now that manufactures are languish ing and workmen are out ot employ ment, tfc common interest demands a still adherence to ti,e protective policy which tbe Republicans of i'pnnsy vania have always sustained. Tbe conntry has never yet prospered un der Free Trade, and never can or will and as all tariffs are levied pri- ' 1 r 11 1 mariy or rjfsuM, it uuiu ue pour government wbucb oud Dot bp just enough to its people to arrange its rereoie imports so as to encourage manufactures. It. Tbat we far or eujch legisla tion ia jitate affairs as wjll, first sub stitute adequate salarLBa for lees as a compensation for county officers j sec ond, secure our municipalities from tbe dangers that attf od the existing facilities for contracting debt; and third, provide adequate guards against a recurrence of tbe frequent and Urge losses to which tbe people who do business with banks aud banking institutions bave heretofore been Subject. 13. Tbat State L.gjsJ ation is inad equate to regulate the Uftnj.o,tay'oo oi the vast inter-State railroad traftiu of the notion, and we call upon Con grewjo the exercise of its unques tionable uoimi ia reirulate commerce betweeo the States -to prwrjbe such regulations as will promote eafoiv and certainty 0 transportation, and priot all discrimination in charged, utj otjeure 1 air retrna to tjje capital invested and fair wages to the labor employed. . Let every Republican voter study tbe Platform and earnestly support our Nominees. A Sew Terk Eterrer. V t? . K- -J. P. Hale's pl.no factory, on W est Tb.r- TJ reet, was entirely destroyed by fire this moroiog. Tbe flames extended to Ibe south bide of the street, destroying the en lire block between Tenth and Elev enth avenue; also M. (Jonnell's bar rel factory, J. Graham & Co.'a silk factory, north of Tbirty-fiifih street. and a block of frame bouses 00 Tenth avenue, between thirty-fifth and Tbir ly-sixtb streets. A steam Dre engine was burned, tbe firemen being unable to cret it out in consequence of tbe 10- ! tense heat. ;'..- The firemen made every effort pos sible, but lack of water constantly hampered tbeir efforts. Tbey suc ceeded before noon,' however, ia get ting tbe fire under control, although it waa still burning fiercely in some ol the buildings. The walls of the brick buildings fell from time to time with a heavy crash. In tbe confusion pre vailiug it waa impossible to obtain any details of tbe losses, and very difficult to make even an approximate estimate of the losses. Tbe lowest estimate of tbe latter is $1,000,000, and many persons place the amount at a much higher figure. It is believed by many persons in the neighborhood tbat from twenty to forty workmen perished ia the piano factory, but thus far it is merely sup position. Three alarms were seat out ia rapid succession, aod a Urge force of firemen, engines and trucks responded to tbe calls. Tbe heat produced by the fire was intense, and the firemen were obliged to keep at a considerable distance from the burn ing buildings. It ia probable, howev er, tbey could bave prevented tbe fire from spreading if tbey bad bad a nu ficient supply of water. Tbe hydrants supplied only scant streams, and some became entirely di aioed. Another statement is tbat 2o or JO girls employed ia tbe upper stories of Hale's factory bave perished. 1 be ambulances bave removed some IS or 20 wounded, who jumped, from the burning factory. Still another state ment is tbat of 1 0 to 200 men ia tbe factory at the time of tbe Gre, com paratively few escaped death or fatal waunds. About 350 families, are rendered homeless, aod most of tbeir furniture destroyed. While the fire waa at its height a number of people on tbe sheds ia PbeUn's yard were thrown to the ground and badly 'ojured. A woman jumped from the window of a tenement bouse in Thirty-seventh st. aod was instantly killed. Nv York, September 3 At 10 o'clock this morning a fire broke out ia Hale's extension piano factory, on West Thirty-fifth street, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues. Owing to tbe inUamable nature of tbe stock the flames spread with great rapidiiy, and soon tbe factory aod a dvzia ten ement houses were in fUnies. There was a scarcity of water in tbe neigh borhood, consequently there 'was some delay before the engines played on the Ere, and several alarms were sen.V'Ctin baste, roaliy water was obtained from Eighth avenue and the river. The fire origioeted in the sounding board drying room on the third floor of tbe factory. A spark from the store ignited a pot of var nish, which had been placed upon it to heat and lbs flames spread like a flash. Nicho3 XI onk, ths varnieher, fled at onpe for his life, giving tbe alarm as be ran, but .he wjodows be ing open; tbo flames swept through the building, (jading fresh fqel at ev ery step, Tbe hatch ways in onp p.r, ner were open aod tbe flames rushed to tbe upper stories as through a flue. The factory wag eight stories ia height, aqd although it is said that the meqas of espape were sufficient, yet a number of livps wpre jost. There were cup hundred and sixty five men in tbe buildiag. Tbe (limes spread so rap'dly tbat the men who were above the drying room were cat off from tbe staircase. Tbey ran to tbe roof and to tbe windows and dropped to the ground. Meanwhile the fire rapidly increased in fury, and tbe piano factory was one sheet of flame. The walls soqo began to fall. Tome of the firemen say that at this time, oq jQirty-sixtb street tourtecn men were clinging to the windows of tbe upper story, and that tbey were ourieu ia me tailing ruins. 1 ney conld not be reached by Udders, and the flames drove back tbe firemen. other nuiLPisua destroyed. A high wind parped the flames across to ank destroyed seventeen tenement houses on the nont side of Thlrtv-six'.h street, six tenements owned by Mc Masters, in Wjsf Thirty-fifth street, tbe rear of twenty ten ements in 1 Dirty-seventy street, a small tenement ia the rear of No. 525 West Thirty-fourth street besides which several factories in West Thirty-fourth street were damaged. Xos. 453 to 457 Tenth avenue were partly destroyed. In Thirty-fifth street tbe flames destroyed tbe two factories of Mr. Hale, Coonolly's barrel factory, Foxes' brass foundry, Lobb's roofing factory, Booth's steam boiler factory, urowa s machine sbop, and about twentv-dve shanties and stables; also Xo. 504, James Levljn's resi dence; Nos. 5015, 508, 510 aod .&li, John Grahams silk weaving estab lishment; No. 516, Mrs. Hoot's pickle factory; No. 518, residence of Sergeant James, of tbe police force, and Xos. 520, 522 aod 524, three tea emtnl ftoes.

The shrieks of the friootjj of any. people whe were known to bav been in tbe piano factory, aod were 50I seeo hj . their relatives, were heartrending.

He was remored to the station house, and died in a few mln- ntes. The other workmen, whose oamea were not ascertained, were se- riously injured. Tbey were sent to Bellevue Hospital. Oae mao who had dropped before ibe walls fell waj picked up dead aod seat to the Morgue. Several others- who. dropped, .being only injured, were taken 10 Bellevue. The burnt district covers a space of about four hundred feet on the north sod south sides of Thirty-fifth street, one hundred and seventy five teet oa the west side of Tenth ave- nue, and about nve Hundred leet ou tbe south side of Tbirty-tdxib street. THE KILLED AND THE INJURED. A dispatch received earl ibi-i morning says the. Dumber, at casual ties thus far reported are Oliver I'm nicker, who jumped from tbe top story and was instantly" killed'aod Aaoie Smith, a child, smothered ia a tenement house adjoining tbo factory. Tbe iojarcd were l'dul Hess, jumped from tuo seventh story window to a adjoining building, not dangerously hurt Thomas Lud wig, jumped from tbe fifth story, slight injuries, James Roland, fireman of engine 18, wall fell, burying bim under i', both legs broken. John f. fourquest drop ped from tbe second story, severely burned and leg broken. Tbe follow ing persons, all employ d 10 toe- pi ano factory are missing, and there is but little doubt but tbey bavo been buried in tbe ruins: II. Bade, John Guoberger, John Kutscb, James Smith aud Patrick Trainer. Over fifty buildings ia all have been destroyed. Some of tbe most terrible scenes of tbe fire occurred ia the teaemeot houses. Oue fireman rescued ao infant and its helpless father from a fourth floor, and then went back at the peril of bis life aod found another child just expiriog from suffocaiiou oa the top fl or. An nie bweet, anoccupjui of a tenant Louse, died from f. ight Whea the walls fell it became easier for the fire men to work and the intense heat subsided somewhat, enabling them to approach aud play on the buroiug masses. It was noticed tbat du ring the day no employes were to be round, and therefore persons believed that they had all perished io tbe flames, but vet few inquiries were made at tbe station house or in the vicinity of the fire for ibe misniog rren during the day. It is said that many of the employes live in Hobo kea and on escaping (if they did) went home at once. It is almost 1m possible to estimate correctly tbe loss, but it is put at about $500,000. and the insurance as far as ascertained was about $200,000. A a Oil Traia fire. Cleveland, O., Sept 5 A severe accident occurred to-day . six miles east of ibis oily, 00 the Mahoniog Division of tbe Atlantio and Great Western Railroad- At about tlz o'clook ia the morning an oil train of twenty cars, wnen passing dowo a heavy grade parted, aud before tbe fUgraau could tie sent back, ao extra, which was following , close behind. came arouod a sharp curve and was close upon tbe - rear of - tbe forward train. Tbe eugioeer aod fireman, after reversing tbe engine and whitt ling down brakes, jumped . from the train. Tbe men ia tbe caboose, of the first traia . bad barely time to jump when tbe terrible collision came. 1 he sparks from tbe engine set fire to tbe last car, aod the flames spread with tucu rapidity tbat all seyea cirs ia front of the engine antt four cars of Ibe seconq lrin were hopelessly ablaze before anything could bo done to prevent it. Tbe pars were, how ever, : detached, ia a. . very few miuq'.es. 1'be ; Uieo i)4teqed to a safo disiauue, aod very soon a terri ble explosion of tbe gas generated by tbe beat ia the first tank occurred, throw iog tbe pieces of iroa anj feet into the air aod-Uodin them rods back into the surrounding fields. Tbis threw tbe burning oil ia every direolion, - aod communicated the flames to other cars, aod the combus tible material soon threw up a blaze from the manholes more than 30 feet toward the sky. , - Your oorrespiodeat arrived upon the scene. just at tbU moment, and obtained a fine view of the extent of ibe catastrophe, From . one car , to another tbe flames spread until more ibao half a mile of traok was ia flames. Tbe oil from the exploded tanks was upon tbe feuoeg and grass alonf the line, and all of it was burning at a terrific rate. . At one time there were fears tbat some buildings in the vi cinity would catch fire, but the dan ger was soon past. As soon as it was safe to approach the wreck, wrecking t raj as, well manned, were upon the spot and begaq tbe work it clearing away, the burning rubbish. The oil aod tank cars belonged to, tbe Standard Oil Compaoy, aod ibe 1 1 cars consumed eontained io round numbers 1,000 barrels of crude ma terial, valued at $2,500. The loco motive and tender, 49 well as the ca boose of tbe first train, , were com pletely oonsumcd. - Tbe total, lo is estimated by the ompaoy at $13, 000, betides tbe loss from; delay ia tmmpjrtatioo, which will aoiauul to as mac: more. j .; . t..-. .

Ike rrepnrt'a Will. Ilrigham Young's will was road 00 Mondav io the presence of all bis wi"es aod cbildruu, and a few friends. Brigbaru Voua, jr., George O Can noo aud Albert Carriogtoo are nam ed as his executors. Ibe estate is largely real estate, and is probably worth $2,000,000. Ibe wilt waa made four yeais ag , and tbe youug- est child, bora of Mary VauColt, was ttieo three years old. Brighani young was the father of fifty six t bildren aud left sev.-uteeo wives, sille n sous and twenty eight daughters." Tb will aims to make an equitable divis ion of tbe property betweeo all Ibe wives aod childreu, with no prefer ence to any. Most of tbem bave al ready bad sometbiog deeded to them Uu ibu a valuation was set and it is to be charged to the recipients as part of their share, though not necessarily at the valuation he put oa it That is to be equitably adjusted when tbe estate is divided, upon tbe youogest child coaiing of age. Meanwhile the income is to go to tbe various moth ers according to the Dumber of tbeir children, and they can withhold it if the children behave bidly. All are provided for as far as tbeir present needs are concerned. Deceased held many interests ia trust for the church and tor individuals. His executors are directed to turn tbem over prop erly, ibe cburcb is forbidden by law to bold more than $50,000 worth of property ; and so it was largely held by ingbam oung io trust. His friends will not entertaia the ootioo that he ever abused that trust. There is 00 inventory of the property on the estate, and it U widely scattered. With the country prosperous and full of money, it ould be worth twice the above valuation. Recently Brig ham Vouag endowed an academy wiih lands at Provo and another at Logan, the Utter with 12,000 acres. He bad determined to endow one at Salt Lake, but be did uot live loug enough to do s.. A person present at tbe reading f the will says it seem ed to be very satisfactory to all con cern! d. It will be probated as soon as possible. It will be wonderful if some ili'Matisfactiou does not creep ia within the next thirteen years. ; Doath ml H. 'I bier.

He engaged in literary pursuits, aod contributed to ibe Con stitutional with credit. His versatil ity ami quick conception, bis ready wi: and sprigbtliut-ss of style, his boldness of attack and ability as a controversialist admirably Sued bim for the duticsofa jjurualist, in which he took a leading pot-it iou. He was a connoisseur in art aud a shrewd politician. He wrote the history of ibe revolution of 1790, and contribu ted a great deal towards bringing ab,JUt the revolution of 13-10.
