Senator Cooi'tu has beta re elected Chairman of the Republican State Committee. His election is ap proved by everybody but the Dem ocrats. The publication of the lift of jen tioners will soon be completed. It will fill ten volumes of pages each, and will give the name, ad dress, disability and the amount of pension, of the .'X),000 pensioners now on the rolls.

Cooper as Chairman of the Repub lican State Committee, is a compli ment well deserved by the vigor displayed in the conduct of last j'ear s campaign. Last year e revolt had no reference to Mr. Cooper or the action of his committee, and therefore his selection now is gener ally acceptable.

Vbout that time the cool-headed Democrats discovered that they had been basing their calculation on popular favor, which accounted fur the fatal errors of which mention has been made.

A "terrific boiler explosion occurred at Kutz town, about 4 o'clock this rooming, at Asthraces furnaces, owned by the Reading Railroad Company and operated by Wra. Kaufman & Co. The furnaces are located a short dis tance from the aboye borough and the shock was so great that nearly all the inhabitants were awakened. All preparations had been made for casting and the employes went out side to cool off before tappiug when the explosion took place. Immense pieces of the boiler were hurled a great distance. The engine and boil: er house were completely demolish ed. The large iron smoke stack was thrown lengthwise on the roof of the casting house crushing it to pieces, including the large stone wall. There were about a dozen men in the vicinity when the explosion oc curred, and some of these were caught in the falling debris. Several were rescued as soon as possible, but one of the mumber was almost in stantly killed and two very serious ly injured, one, it is feared, fatally. The one killed was Franklin Walt man, about 21 years old, He was buried in the debris, and his nioan ings were moat heartrending. The fatally injured man is Henry Walt man,"aged 40. Morris Good was se riously scalded and will probably die. The engineer, named Marstel-1 ler, was thrown about thirty -live feet I and fatally injured internally. There were eight boilers in the battery, only onecf which exploded. The rest were piled together in a mass. The cause of the disaster is not known. The scene at the wreck and residences of the dead anil wounded is a sad one. The loss by the explosion to the furnace compa ny is heavy. The Cumberland l'ike. Umoxtov. x, July 19. The dispute over the condition of the old Cum berland Pike through Fayette coun ty has finally taken shape in a peti tion to Governor Pattison for the re moval of Pike Supervisor Daniels. Tnere were a number of practical roadmen who applied for the supcr visorship in February, and it was ex pected that Fayette would get the appointment, as Somerset had it last term. Besides that, Fayette has 34 miles of the road and Somerset only six. Last year the toll gate receipts in Fayette were S3,500 to 81S3 in Somerset. It was thought one of the competent applicants from Fayette would get the appointment, but the factional fight got verv hot. Con gressman Boyle and Senator Wallace both tried their influence with Gov. Pattison, but the Cassidy contingent in Fayette would not allow any Wallaco man to iret it. and so it was decided to throw the Fayette appli- j Cujauo, July IS.

The letter is a dilation here, drawn up by a prom inent Democratic lawyer and signed by many leading citizens, irrespect ive of party, requesting the Governor to remove Daniels and appoint some one who will attend to his business. The Times. New Tosta! Xolc. The new postal notes for the trans mission of small sums of money are now being prepared in New York City. They will be ready for deliv ery" about the first of September. The note3 are in shape nearly like bank notes. They are printed in a blank form, spaces being left for the names of the post offices from which they are sent and at which they are paid. On the right hand side of each of the notes are three columns of fig ures, one for the dollars, containing the figures from 1 to 4, the second for the dimes from 1 to 9, and the third for the cents from 1 to 9. The postmaster who sells one of these notes will punch the figures indicating the amount for which the note will be received. Eor instance, if a note for for $3.52 is wanted, the figures 3 in the dollar column, 5 in the dimes column, and 2 in the cents column will be punched out. All counterfeiting or "raising" is thus prevented. The notes may be bought of any value from one cent to $4 99.

CoLDWATtiR, Mich., July 19. Just before one o'clock yesterday after rit,on a man entered the Cold water National Bank and handed George Starr, the cashier, who was alone, a package of money to count The first note was a five and the remain der one dollar notes, amounting to ninety dollars. When nearly through counting .Mr. fctarr neara a noise and, turning around, discovered a man in the vault. He called to him to totop. At the same time the thief seized a package ot valuable jewelry belonging to li. C Lewis, the presi dent. Drawing a revolver and or denng Mr. Starr back, the thief es caped through a side door. The man at the front of the counter went out of the front door. They ran about three blocks, jumped into a carnage containing a driver and started at breakneck speed. They were overtaken by the Marshal and one man one mile north of the city. The robbers held four revolvers to one and they were allowed to proceed. A party of men from the city and country about here are in hot pur suit with rifles, shot-guns and revol vers. The value of the package is not known, but is supposed to be large. The latest report is that the robbers have been driven into a piece of woods six miles from town and are rapidly being surrounded. Thrown from a Train. Johnstown, Pa., July 20. As the Mail Express train west on the Pennsylvania Railroad swung around a sharp curve east of Wil more, W. C. Moody, of New York, who was standing on the platform smoking, was hurled to the ground. He was ttuned by the fall but in a few minutes he sufficiently recover ed to help himself from the track. After waiting there until midday an empty engine was dispatched from Gallitziu, taking him aboard, and bringing him to Johnstown, where lie received necessary medical at tention. He was ticketed to Imis- ville and attributes the accident to his own caaelessness, as he had been particularly cautioned by Conductor Kearney against standing on the platform. His wounds are on the scalp and contusions of the back and and limbs. His clothing were also destroyed so that he had to provide himself with a new outfit. Passengers on the train were in clined to criticise the conductor be cause ho refused to stop and pick the man up, but he said that there was danger that another.train, the Pacific Express, might run into his train.

The Susque hanna Mining and Smelting Com pany have put their smelting works at this place in operation, and to-day at G . m., made the first tapping of their reverberating furnace with the most gratifying results. The furnace was charged at about one o'clock with 3.2' X) weight of ore, the product of which is a large amount of pure lead, the exact amount of which is not yet ascertained in its hot condi tion, but cannot be less than 51KJ pound-, a remarkable product for a new furnace. This is the first lead smelted in this State from Pennsylvania ore.

For a few days past detectives from Wheeling W. Ya., have been in Cleveland hunting for a runaway virl named Cora Sandford. . She is a daughter of John Sandford, a wealthy farmer living in the suburbs of Wheeling. She recently was gradu ated,., from a seminary with . high honors. For several years past a col ored man named Francis Smith, aged thirty-five, has been employed at the Sandford homestead as coachman. He is homely and illiterate and revolting in appearance, but is a glib talker.. .Miss Sandford fell in love with him, and met him clandestinely at various times. Her parents were in total ignorance of her actions. The couple were in the habit of takiDg long drives together after nightfall. A few days ago the girl was missed, and it also happened that the colored coachman was missing also. The caae was given to the police by the agonizied parents, and detectives sent m search of the runaway pair. Traces of them were found in Cleve land Sunday, but as yet they have not been found. The girl left a note to her parents, in which she stated that she bad left home never to re turn. Glanders In Illinois. The Illinois State Board of Agri culture has taken up the subject of the prevalence of glanders among horses, and is considering it with the view of presenting all possible precautionary measures to farmers ami stock raisers. Illinois ranks first among the horse-breeding States in the Union, both as to numbers and quality of the animals. The action of the Legislature in passing the law for the eradication of glanders was therefore important, as it is so stringent as to permit any necessary measures of quarantine in order to suppress the disease. The Board of Agriculture will in a lew days issue a report embodying information from the State Veterinarian as to the localities in the State in which glanders is prevalent, it being known to exist in more than thirty places in seventeen counties of that State, besides in other States. Illinois is the only State that has attempted to enforce legislation against this ma lady. The law permits all infected animals to be killed and the farms and drinking-places of animals to be fumigated and disenfected by the public authorities. Failure of an Iron Company. Pittsbcrg, Julr 20. The deed of assignment of the Manchester Iron and Steel Company was filed in the Recorder's office to-day, assignees being W. W. Martin, of Allegheny, and Henry Staunton, of New-York. The assignment was decided upon at a meeting of the stockholders held in New-York on July 19. The works are in Allegheny City, but the prin ciple stockholders are Eastern men. The capital is $500,000. The liabil ities are estimated at from $$00,000 to $1,000,010. It was about two years ago that the principal stock was transferred to Eastern capitalists and the mill has not paid since. There was no surprised here over the failure in business circles, as it had been expected for some time. There are several men about Pittsburg who own stock to small amounts in the company, but none of them will be seriously affected by the failure. John A. Hutchinson, of Easton, Penn., is now the principal stock holder, owning about 7'JO shares. The Funeral of Tout Thumb. Middleboro, July IS. The funer al of (ieneral Tom Thumb took place this morning.
