The Pittsburg Commercial Gazrttr is entitled to great credit for iU en terprise in furnishing the news of the Exposition fire. Just one hour and fifty minutes after the fire broke out its fust edition appeared, giving a complete and geu-ral story of the event This was followed by later editions giving a graphic description of the fire and a complete list of all who lost by the disaster. Next Tuesday evening, October lGth, the campaign will be opened in this county with a mass meeting at the Court House. Iiet every Re publican turn out and hear the is Fuesof the day discussed. Nothing but apathy on the part of the Repub licans can prevent the overwhelming success of the State ticket at the coming election. The meeting will be addressed by our candidate for Auditor General, Jerome B. Niles, and every effort should be made by the Republicans to make the first gun of the campaign a big one. There is something touching in the anxiety of the Democrats to ap peal to the people on the question of the extra session. After all their brag and bluster Mr. Secretary Sten ger, the second man in the State Ad ministration, managed to make a speech of nearly two hour's length at Pittsburg last week, without al luding to the Democratic incubus that is riding the tax payers of the State like Sinbad's old man of the sea. The truth is this extra session business knocks a Democratic stump orator out on the first round every time. The only danger to the Republi can ticket this year, lies not in a de ficiency in numbers but in a possi bility of voters not going to the polls. There is a large class of Republicans who are willing to go forth to vote on great occasions when a President is to be made or a Governor elected but allow smaller political issues to take care of themselves. Tle Democrats, who are always on the J alert for snaps, never fail to improve j an opportunity to catch the Republi can party napping. Every Republi can vote in the county should be polled in order to swell the aggre- j gate on the State ticket. As there has been much inquiry j and no little misunderstanding upon the subject, it may be as well to ex plain that the United States Gov ernment has made no arrangements for redeeming the three cent stamps. They will be recognized when used, but they will not be bought back. This may seem a little unreasonable at first, but it is nothing more than fair. The public has had ample notice of the reduction of postage, and people who bought more three cent stamps than they aould use be fore October 1, cannot blame any one else than themselves. It is not as though the Government were un der any obligation, moral or other wise, to redeem these stamps. They are issued to be receivable in pay ment for a certain service, and that service they will still command. The burning of the building of the Pittsburg Eiosition Society, with all its valuable contents, is a very unfortunate affair.

Already, before the ashes of the building and its con tent are fairly cold, the Pittsburg jeople are taking measures looking to the erection of larger and better buildings. In this they are display ing a pluck and energy that will certainly command (Ticcess. This, liowerer, is only what was to be ex pected from clear headed business men, who fully appreciate the coni rnercial and industrial importance of such exhibition?. They under stand how powerfully they promote the advancement of the industries and the exchange of products, tmd they believe that in rebuilding the Exposition they are making a good business investment I The elections which take place in J Ohio and "Iowa to-day, (Tuesday,) I have beeD hotly contested, and there I are outside elements in the fight in i both States that confute and may set at naught the calculations of the most experienced leaders. In Iowa the Greenbacters have combined with the Democrats, while the tem perance question is the unknown quantity in the Ohio equation. Both States are confidently claimed by the Republicans. It commences to look as if the TVmrxrats in the Leciflature were Democrats in me xgu i . getting ready to adjourn. On Y nday ) the canny leaderof the non-Pilgrim wing of the Democrats, Senator Wallace, had read a 'solemn protest' against adjournments of the Senate from Tuesday to Friday and from Friday until Tuesday, "in obedience to orders of party caucuses without the transaction of any business," on,l "in rKsreirard of the comity of intercourse that should exist between the Senate and House of Represent atives." The Democratic Senators evidently thought it was their trump card, unmindful of the fact that there had been every opportunity for the exchange of views, that every order ly process of the Government had been tried and exhausted, and that the Democratic House was rapidly falling into the quagmire of despond ency because of its failure to secure mi i . - r . a ouorum. i nev seemeu 10 loiyei that the committees of conference! had met. disagreed, reported and been discharged. That all means of reaching an agreement on the appor tionment question had failed, and that the forum of free speech had long ago descended to a mere repe- tition of the cries of the katy-dids on the trees of Capitol Hill, of "did" and "didn't." It is said that this pronunciamento is but the prelude to an adjournment. It istole hoped that this is so. The sooner they adjourn, go home and leave the youthful Governor and his wily Attorney General to the sad contem plation of their egregious folly in saddling the people with the costs of this partisan extra session, the better for all concerned. Hon. Jerome B. Niles, in his speech before the House last week, gave proof that his selection as one of the standard bearers of the Repub lican party was most judicious. His presentation of the apportionment case was most able and without a show of passion or prejudice. His mass of facts and figures, are an ar gument for the immediate adjourn ment of the Legislature, which will be found unanswerable. In nothing, however, is he more forcible than in his showing of the rank inequality of the Democratic apportionment bill. After showing that both par ties are essentially agreed as to the Senatorial apportionment in forty-! five counties, he turns to the remain ing twenty-two counties. Their pop ulation is 734,332. Ten of these counties give Democratic majorities and twelve are Republican. The jKipulation of the ten Democratic counties is 331,132; that of the twelve Republican counties, 393,2o0, a Republican majority of 02,118. Yet under the Democratic scheme of ap portionment, the Democrats would be given seven Senators and the Re- i j publicans but three. Under the Re publican bill, these twenty -two ' counties would give the Republicans j six Senators and the Democrats four. There has been no truer, no strong er presentation of the case with which to go before the people of the State. It sweeps away the sjecial pleadings of the Gordon's of the ad ministration and shows the voters the plain cold facts in all their ex pensive unsightliness. It proves as clearly as facts and figures may the : narrow partisanship of the Governor ! and the selfishness of his adminis tration, which has burdened the eople with the costs of this worse than worthless extra session. The people now know why the Legisla ture does not adjourn. The Demo crats dare not go to the people on their record. GU;.lMX(iS The streams in New England have never been so low as now.

Virginia IUmI Men. Wheeling, October 3. In the United States District Court at Clarksburg yesterday a rather sen sational episode occurred. For two or three years the mountain and interior section of this State have been overrun bv an organization of lawless persons caled "Red Men," who were at first ostensibly banded together for the purpose of prevent ing sucli crimes as wife beating, at tempts at outrage or open adultery, for which the law iirovided no ade quate penalty. Lately the body has developed into an organization of law breakers to whose doors all grades of crime have been traced. About a year ago three men were arrested for robbing the mails in Dourlron county and one of them Albert Price was convicted and sen tenced to ten years confinement in the Buffalo, "N. Y., penitentiary. Another of the men Noah Kettle confessed but he was never senten ced. Yesterday the third robber Jacob T. H oilman, was put on trial. Kettle was put on the stand and testified explicitly to his guilt. He also told many of the secrets of the gang, their laws, constitution, objects and methods of working. They were banded together for the pur pose of protecting illicit distillers from molestation bv government officials and Marion Howis a Unit ed States gauger was at their head he levying a tax on the moonhsin ers. It was Hawis who first propos ed robbing the mails. Vae of Ital Notes. Washington, October 3. It is said by officers of the Post-office De partment that the new postal notes are proving a great convenience to lottery companies and to the many firms and corporations throughout the country which have been black listed by the department and denied the privileges of the money order and registry systems. These com panies and firms are now having remittances made to China in pos tal notes which are payable to bearer and which do not come within the scope of the department's orders forbidding the payment of money orders to concerns that have been declared fraudlent. The risk of loss is of course a little greater with pos tal notes than with money orders but practically the former are very satisfactory substitutes for the hit ter and enable firms and companies that have been declared fraudulent to regard with comparative indiffer ence the orders of "the Postmaster General depriving them of money order and registry privileges, KlanKhKr on (lie Hail.

PITTSBURG'S SHOW GONE. The Exhibition Buildings Burned Exhibit Which Cannot be Replac ed letroyed. f Pittsburg, October 3. About 2 o'clock this morning the magnificent buildings of the Pittsburg Exposi tion, on the north bankot the Alle gheny river, caught fire and in twen ty minutes the entire structure, witn the machinery and floral halls, was in ashes. The fire was first discov ered in the engine room, in the ma chinery department," nd in" order not to frighten the citizens a still alarm was sent in and in this way the flames got beyond coutrol, so that before the fire department reached the grounds the buildings were almost bnrned down. When it became known that it was the Ex position, although it was so late, im mense crowds were soon on their way to the scene of the fire. The reflection from the fire lighted up the country for miles around, and in the farthest end of the city a pa per could be read as easily as in daylight The destruction is com plete and nothing but the site re mains ot the homo of specimens of brain and brawn, in which Pittsburg- ers felt so much pride. Nothing was saved and the firemen turned their attention to saving adjacent proper ty, many residences on South avenue being in flames. By hard work, however, they succeeded in saving all these, with no more damage than the burning of cornices and fences. Repeated alarms soon aroused al-, most the entire population of the two cities, and it is estimated that not less than from 75,000 to 100,000 people witnessed the conflagration. The cause of the fire is unknown. It started in the lioiler-house and may have been caused from it spark from the boiler or the accidental ig nition of some contiguous substance from the gas jet left burning in the boiler-house. The loss will probablv reach S 1,01X1,000. Secretary Patter son places the value of the buildings destroyed at 1"0,(JOO, the insurance being $40,000. The exhibitors will sustain a loss of $800,000. An irrep arable loss, however, was occasioned by the destruction of the relic de partment. The cash value of the articles contained therein did not ex ceed 10,000, but many cannot be replaced. In the annex the "Arab ion," the fint locomotive ever run in the United States, was also de stroyed. The Great Western Band loses a full set of splendid instru ments. In the safe were 0,000, the cash receipts from yesterday's admis sions, and Levy's gold cornet. The safe has been taken from the ruins, but the contents have not yet been examined. The buildings which were destroyed were erected in 187". The main building was GO) feet long and 150 wide. Machinery Hall was 400 feet long and 150 feel wide. The other buildings were small. a scene of desolation. The ground on which the building 6tood presents a scene of desolation. Charred pieces stick up everywhere. Lines of twisted shafting and pije cross and cross again, but all else in the main building has gone down to a common level. As Machinery. Hall is approached the wreck looks more disastrous. The big engine sticks higli up in the air, greatest of all that is left. It was mounted on a stone foundation and stands there complete, the fly-wheel in place. The boilers have settled down on the piles that supported them, each band of the three boileM hanging together with the brick jacket still in place. The huge smoke-stacks are twisted and bent and falling toward the west. Down among the piles are the re mains of some of the best machinery ever put up in Pittsburg. The old Arabian, the Baltimore and Ohio engine, that stood the perils of the rail for generations, to perish in a fire, is a pitiful-looking object. The cab has disappeared entirely and the wooden buffer in front is only a smouldering ember. The smoke stack is smashed in and lays doubled up across the boiler. The bolts holdingthe water tank in place burn ed off, and it lies over to one side. The smaller parts have disappeared. Around it are a half hundred ruined engines, agricultural machines, elec tric machinery, the wire-fence outfit and all the iron work that was in the hall. It is junk and nothing else: Major Xickorson's Whereabouts!. Washington, October 0. The whereabouts of the notorious Major Nickerson have b"en ascertained.

Laredo, Texa?, October 4. De tails of a horrible tragedv at Lam- jpasas, Mexico, have been received here. Antonio aldtz, wile, and five children, the eldest ten and the youngest two years, lived on a ranche near that point. The wife was subject to fits of mental abera tion. During the absence ot her hus band she was attacked with a fit of unusual severity and grabbed a huge butcher knife and massacred her chiidreu, killing them in rapid suc cession. Suddenly taking a parting look at the dead before her, 6he plunged the knife into ber own heart, reeled to the corner of the room and fell dead. Fire from Cigar. Tkov, Octjber 4.

Fireman Johnson, one of the five yellow fever patients aboard the steamer Newbern, died to-day. The quarantine officer took oil' to the vessel a metallic coffin filled with charcoal- . The body will be placed in it, hermetically sealed and ouried in an unfrequented part outside the city limits. The second officer has also taken a bad turn, and doubts of his recovery are entertained. The remaining three are still doing well. No new cases have developed on the steamer, nor has the disease made its appearance on land. The quar antine officers have taken every pre caution. If the weather continues as cool as at present there is no dan ger of it ever getting a foothold in this city. A dispath from Guaymas, Mex., says: Only three deaths in the last two days. Twenty-six are reported from llermosella and all along the road there are victims overtaken by the fever and unable to proceed fur ther.

He was visit"d Sitter by two Sisters of Mercy and his spirit ual adviser, Father Ward. None of his relatives put in sin appearance. At eleven o'clock he left his cell for the scaffold, attended by Father Ward and the Sheriff. He walked erect, ami ascended the scaffold with a firm step. nen asked if he had anything to say, he replied "No." The cap was then placed over his head and his hands were tied. At l(ft the trap was sprung and in the fall his neck was broken. In eight minutes he was pronounced dead. The crime for which he suffered the highest penalty of the law was uxor- cide. On the evenine of June 9, 1SS2, he sent his little boy outof the house under some pretense, and when the little fellow returned he found his mother dying on the floor, with her skull crushed in and a bloody ax lying leside her. His fath er had fled, but was arrested the same nitrht. When the trial came jup, it was clearly shown that he had committed the deed, and he was convicted. The Mormon Conference.

She disappeared last Wednesday night, and has not been seen nor heard from since. On the preceeding day &he had been followed by a strance man, who drew a knife and threatened to stab her if she made an outcry. Last Thursday Roth received by mail an envelope containing his engagement ring, broken in two, and a small piece of card torn lroni the corner ot a busi ness card of Eugene IIarber,a furni ture dealer, bearing the single word, "revench," intended f"r "revenge," written with a pencil. The envelope has been identified as one which Julia Klause's cousin directed at her request last week. It was her cus tom to get somebody to direct her letters for her, as she was a poor writer. The generally accepted theo ry is that she has been abducted by enemies of Roth's, that she had the envelope in her pocket, and that b ductors took the ring, broke it, and returned it in the manner stated. Suspicion rests on two men, and the matter will be hunted out.
