Kx-Sksator Thikmax liiw njrain jxi tively ilex line l to lw the 1 Vtumnil ir 0111 diJate for Governor of Ohio this fall. The latent ii'W8 from tho sick Ixd of Chief JtJKlitH' Mi-m-ris tnonM-nwmr-ijrinj:. His j-hyuirituis haw now t-.tnli lion's of his nnxm-ry. Withik the last two years :)-(nM) IVm norxlie jxist masters have taken the places of Kqiublii-ans, and yet like Oliver Twint they are oryin-z for more. Govkrnoh liKAVka thinks, "so it is tsiid"that the Lejrislature was entirely too liberal in granting apiiropriations and will isharpen up his veto' en when lie comes to eonsiiler them. iK'Kiso April last 73,1(17 immigrant ar rived in the United Statov. and for the ten months ending April .6, 1SS7 the ar rivals were ::S4,lf. At this rate how long w ill "I'ru le Sam Ik- rich enough to give thein all a farm? " The apjjint.ment of a new U. S. Treas urer make it necestary to aain -recount all the money in the government strong box, and it is eftiinuted that it will re quire over two months, for a number of expect counters to finish up the job. The bibulously inclined citizen of this county have Ixvn suddenly awakened to the pertinency of the remark said to have leen made by the (Joveroor of South Carolina to the Governor of North Caro lina, njmn the occasion of a fraternal meeting. Til ErH!ton.A"TMi nips the great Mug wump leader in this wise: "Mr. Curtis says that both jiarties are at sea. His re murks generally would lead one to sus pect that he is in the condition of the in ebriated Indian who could not find his home but stood by his own prowess, say ing: "Indian no lost, wigwam lost" It may now be considered a settled matter that uoIkkIv but Grover Cleve land can lie the Democratic nominee next year. The fact is patent, that prominent Democrats who a short time since de nounced him for his injtistii to his own party, are having their mouths closed by the bestowal of offices njxin themselves, or their friends. TiieX. Y.Sun says: "If the Fiftieth Congress is w ise, the internal revenue taxes w ill ie taken off altogether, and the whole army of tax collectors, and depu ties dislninded." A cold-blovded sugges tion like this is sull'n-ient to throw its Democratic brethren into spasms. What ! voluntarily relinquish all these offices after only throe years enjoyment of them? Never! never! while hunger and thirst exists. The President is busily scan-bin; among Smthern Democratic lawyers, for timber out of which to make a Judge of the Supreme Court. Can he find a prom inent one among them w ho has not sub scribed to the heresy that the Constitu tion justified secession and reltellion? Ilecause they were whipped into submis sion, is not evidence that they have changed their views, and would uiake safe and fit expounders of that instrument. All the same no Northern I emoerat need ai'l'b'- It is said that the coke oierators of the Connellsville district, have resolved to discharge the Hungarians in their em ploy, because they have become so trouli leeome anil are so lawless, and to employ Americans in their stead. This is a deci sion that will give general satisfaction. The Hungarians were employed because they were supposed to le steady anil heap laborers, but a thorough trial has demonstrated that they are turbulent and not to be dejiended ujon. The coke oj erators have learned that cheap labor is not always the most profitable, and we trust that the lesson will abide with thein. Tiikkf. isa Democratic voice crying in the Southern w ilderness against the her esy of free trade, that will make itself heard and feit in tlie next lYifidential canvass. The new South w wakening up to the value of iU immense resources in mining and manufactures, and as their daily development increases, it will de mand protection for its industries. Vir ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama can no longer lie safely counted r.yn to snpjKirt candidates ujwn a free trade platform, and the men tion of Ir. C-ariisle's name in connection with the Democratic nomination for Vice President, has drawn out a protest against bis free trade principles in several quar ters. It is not at all likely that Smthern protectionist ean prevent the nomination of an old Cishioned " Smthern Demo crat with free trade principles, but it ap pears to le almost certain that he cannot rely iijton solid South to assist in ele vating him into ower. The gentlemen who are busily engaged selectinga South ern candidate for the tail of the IHmiio cratic National ticket, might profitably piv jwuse to their labors, while they consider the industrial progress of the South, und the natural tendency of all intelligent men to seek protection for their interests, and the products of their ill. Tub IV-mocratic press, with free trade proclivities is persistently demanding an extra eKion of Congress, with the avow ed 4ibjtct of making one more determined effort V- rt"p the mirpliiH by reducing the tariff, just what these an ti -protect ion p nlleiiMij liojie to gain from a Congress with largely reduced iH-mocratic major ity we cannot fathom, unless they ho)e to draw jrtv lint closely, and with the id of the President dragoon the recalci trant into the support of what will be denominated party principles." The ex igencies of the coming Presidential cam paign are inciting these political mantpa- latum, but sujiose they fail in their avowed object? What then? After hav ing played tlieir hand, and lost, can they hope to again swindle the country by a plank in tlieir platform that can be made to read in favor of free-trade or protwtion to suit localities? Politically we believe an extra session of Congress would re dound to the Ix'iiefit of the Republican arty, but there is no apiarcnt necessity for one. A session called to force the fighting on the tariff imaic tan not, we think, prove other than injurious to the party iu iower, and the President is too shrewd a politician not to know it. In auy event, the next session will be large ly devoted to manouvering for jwsition on the Presidential battle field, and the country lias not much to hojx- for in the way of unbiased practical legislation. Politicians may be eagre for the fray, but the business interest of the country mast and will suffer, from an early session of Conjmws, and the consequent irritation, uncertainty, and suspense tliat will ac company it. The rejiort comes from WasJiingtoii that the administration' lias determined to force an issue on the tariff question. To do this, a st renuous effort is to 1m made to unite the Democrats in the House up on a measure of tariff reduction. The J "resident anil every member of the cabi net are rejvorted as sulwtantially agreed iin this mint, and the formulation of a lull for this purpiise will be entrusted to Secretary Fairchild. Just bow the free traders of the Carlisle-Morrison stripe, are to le brought into substantial wnve ment with the pro-pntertionists of the Randall school, is the conundrum that is puzzling the Presidents official family. After the failure in the last two Congress es to accomplish anything in the way of tariff reduction, it has lieon concluded that but one way is left open to the Iem ocratie party, and that is for the Presi dent and hie advisers to formulate a bill, proclaim it an administration measure, and then apply the party lash to all recusant. As the President and cabinet are known to le fully committed to the policy of the Morrison bill, which has twice been rejected by Congress, it re mains to be seen whether Mr. Iiandall and his followers can now be whipjied into support of the policy it embodies. The Sinth lieing in the saddle, and its representatives being hostile to the prin ciple of protection, they have no thought of compromise, except on their own terms, which are a reduction of the pres ent excessive revenue, by adding largely to the free list, and heavily cutting down luties xqion certain imported manufac tures. Past exjerience, which shows that a reduction of dutieson home manu factures, increases rather than diminishes revenue, has made no impression upon these freMrade) theorists, and the con trary fact that increased duties tends to a reduction of revenue has apiarently no lodging place in their brains. However, one thing is apparent to politicians of ev en" shade : the tariff issue can no longer Ik? procrastinated, or set aside. It will be the main feature in the coming Presiden- :ial campaign, and it w ill be a happy event for the country if the Administra tion will take the decisive stop contem plated. A fair and square issue will set tic the question for years to come, and the inevitable result will be, prosperity or ruin to our great and growing home in dustries. Creat Fire In New York.

A Remarkable Collision Near Al-toona-SIx Dead or Dying and a Number Seriously Injured. PiTrsin Rr.H, May 2H, The accident which hapiMnei on the Pennsylvania Rail road near thn Horse Shis-curve last night was the nnst apitalling that has isvurred on any railriMid ci'Utreing in Uiis city for years jast. The list of killed has increased, and thin morning it was rejmrtcd that eight persons had died, and that several of theiig'ured were in a precarious condition. The accident was one of the most jxculiar that ever occurred on a railroad. The Fast lane express which is due in Pittsburgh at p. m., was just approaching the Horse shoe curve from the 1-Uist. It consisted of a baggage car, smoker, two passenger couches and two Pullman bbvping cars, and was drawn by two engines. It was shortly after 8 o'clock when the t'-ain commenced to ascend the steep grade. Daylight had scarcely disappeared and the asscrigers were on the alert to catch a glimpse of the celebrated Horseshoe bend. Far up on the curve an east-bound freight train was wending down the steep moun tain side. The brakes liad all been set, and it was only running at a moderate rate of iqiecd. The engine and ten of the freight care had jiassed a portion of the fast line, when suddenly a creaking, crashing sound startled the passengers. The same instant a largc-siied freight car loaded with coal crash ed into the first passenger coach. The com-b:n.-5 sHsl of the Fast Line and the freight, and the down grade of the curve caused the coal car to crush the frailer passenger coach under it as easily as if it hail been a Kqer bx. The force of the express caused the rear passenger cosicli to crash into the oial car fora distance of twenty feet. The scene was frightful. One passenger coach ami its load of human beings was held underneath the huge coal car, while the coach lui'k of it was crushed and squeezed up among the debris. A scene of the most intense excitement ensued for a few mo ments, but soon after those who had cscncd uninjured realized the situation and showed Wonderful sclf-nssess;on ill devoting their efforts to looking after the injured, many of whom were dying. In the front ia.-scngvr coach a frightful secne presented itself. Three men lay dying under the crushed seats. ne of tlt-m was Dale M. (intham, of this city. One passenger who was held a prisoner in the debris under neat li the coid car, implored those around him to release him. Jack screws were pro cured and the coal car was rtiaUy raised. The man was released, and, although seri ously injured, was able to limp away. The dead and injured were removed from the wreck and everything possible done for the wounded, awaiting the arrival of physicians from Altoona. The cars that were most damaged were the two iassenger coaches. The sleeping cars were bin slightly damaged, one of them hav ing the steps torn away. The rear end of the smoker was crushed in. Word wxs sent at once to Altoona, and at J:40 a sjH-cial train left for tile scene of the accident. It contained Suicriiiteiidcnt Hut chinson, Train Master Snyder, and the fol lowing medical staff: Dr. John Fay, Dr. John T. Christy, Dr. S. M. Ross, Dr. W. S. Jtos, Dr. II. Jaoola. Dr. D. W. Crosthwaite. Siqs'rintendciit Robinson, of the Altoona Hospital, and a iinmlxT of nurses. It was followed by the wrecking train. The injur ed were placed in one of the sleepers where they n-ceived medical attention. At mid night the. rear coaches of the train, which were but slightly injured, were run to Al toona. Two of the : ljured were taken to the Altoona Hospital, and the others to the I gan House, Four of the dead lsidies were taken to the undertaking rooms of Tipton it Iifcrty, and two to that of Nail fc Arthur. V train whs then made up and the uninjured passengers were brought to Pittsburgh ar riving here at 4 o'clock this morning. A LIST OF THE KIl.l.Kll AND lXJVIItl). DALE U.

Chief Justice Flysses Mercur. of the Supreme Court, is lyintr ilangerously ill at-thc residence of bis sou, Mr. John Mercur, near Wallingford. It is thought that he may live only a few days. The alarming symptoms were dcvcloiHsJ on Wednesday evening while the Chief Jus tice was attending a dinner given by Coun selor Rufas Shapely to the Judges of the Supreme Court at his country scat at Wall ingford. During the evening it was notieed that Judge Mercur seemed ill and exhibited an unusual degree of feebleness. About tl o'clock he complained of feeling badly and he was driven to the residence of his son, where he was seized with a congestive chill. Dr. (ietchcll.of this city, was summoned and pronounced the patit-nt iu a critical con dition. There was no improvement yester day. Dr. Oetchell went to Wallingford at j 10 o'clock yesterday to hold a consulatioii with two other physicians. He said before he left that nothing definite could be said, as Judge Mereur's age was against him in a disease in which sudden change are so Ut to occur. He left for Wallingford last even ing alout 7 o'clock. He returned at a laic hour and said that the Judge was resting easily. There is a slight improvement iu bis condition and no inuiM-diate danger is feared. An Extra Session Expected. Washisoi-os, D. C, May 20. An extra session of congress is now looked upon as a certainty by most of the members of the cab inet, and the president fully expects to lie obliged to call it. The cabinet officers are guiik-d in certain department matter, which would Is- afTet1ed by a call, by tlie assump tion tlint congress will be here in October. A large number of senators and memben are in the city this week, and they nearly all ex lct a call. A Cattle "Combine. St. Lorta, Mo., May 25 A lsl paper gives an account of a gigantic, scheme to con olidat all the cattle interests of the North West and form a company which shall con trol f 15,0(10,000 worth of catSe and grazing lauds. It seems to have originated with the Wyoming Stisrk Association, of Cheyenne, and is the outgrowth of the 'combinat ion of the smaller cattlemen into companies, which has been going on for several years. This scheme has been formed for organizing the largi'st cattle conqwny ever known, controll ing hundreds of thousands of cattle and ran ge larger than many States. The failure of the Swan Brot hers brought matters to a focus rather uncxectedly. Tim plan is to unite the Wyoming, Colorado, Eastern Utah, Wes tern Nebraska, .Sout hern Montana ami South em Dakota Into one gigantic company, each ulisolutely surrendering his individual herd and ranch, and receiving proportionate a mount of stock iu return. A similar association has recently been for med in Texas, but one of far less extent and less complete in lis organization. The dan ger of throwing upon the market a large a mount of stock at an unfavorable lime will thus be entirely obviated, and such disasters as followed the Indian Territory sales ren dered impossible. Periodical depressions, necessitating ranchmen to sell miniatured slock at ruinous prices, have lieen disastrous at times, and thus consolidated will, in arent measure, if not entirely, relieve this. Fear of disast rous consequences of the Swan fail ure compiled the cattlemen to take immedi ate act ion , and delegates were sent to New York, London and Edinburgh to impress up in the capitalistsof thesecitiea'who should agree to go into the enterprise the necessity of immediate, action, which they have done with commendable activity. There are connected with the trtcrprise : Stnrgis. Lane, Carey, Paris, IlitteMnd Clark, of Cheyenne, Flriehs and Ilavcmcycr, of New York, together with a numlicr of Scotch and English capitalists, and some from Bos ton and Philadelphia. These gentlemen al ready 'iavc control of fully half the stock in Wyoming and have the supsrt of nearly all the rest of the territory. The cattle will lie apportioned to the ranpes, the water sup ply fairly divided and the productive n-gioti hugely incn-acd. President Cleveland's Trip. Rt KiaNUTos, Vt., May Ti. Pri-s.

John Bute Ho. mcs. for many years a surveyor of New York City died at his home in this city u f.-w days ago in an aoplectic fit. At the 1'iiiieral service yesterday seven women, each c'iiiniing to lie Holme's legitimate wife, put in an apearani-e and made claims on the pro-erty. They were accompanied by eleven children, who claim Holmes as their fath er. The last Mrs. Holmes, who now has jkis scssion i if the proxTty, was married lo him five months ago by a Catholic priest. While the women and children were gathered at the bouse, wrangling as to the disMisitoii of the property, wife No. 7 went before a just ice of the iieace and swore out warrants auainst all the iW for making threats. One of the sons took pissession of part of t he house, und liarricading the door threatened to shoot anyone who entered. He was arrested and sent to the lockup. The women and other children were rcleax-d iipin their own recognizance on promising to keep the peace. Towlay they all engageil counsel and will make a contest for their claim. He Saw a Meteor Fall. : W:i.Lsm no. X. Y., May 27. A monstrous n ict (sir fell on the fa nu of James Harney, at I Ivowniunville. last niirht. As the stone is buried quite deep it is impissihle to tell its exact dimensions. Its ik-sccnt occnre.l aluiut llo'clis k at night and was oliserved by Rolicrt Wells, a farmer, who bad just retuni s from Elmira. Wells was first stanletl by the brilliancy of the sky, as if there was a prolonged lightning. Then there was a loud hissing sound and he saw a bue ball of lire which be thought struck near his house, but it was so dark after the stone (ell that he abandoned all efforts to find it. This morn ing a mysterious pit 40 feet across and 20 feet deep was discovered in a ten ucre field on Mr. Harney's farm a mile away. The sides have raved in. but an effort will be made to liml the meteor which from all accounts, is a j very large line. The Harncys sny the house j was aeverely jarred during the night and j think it must have been caused by the mete j or striking so near them. I Shot Dead in a Courtroom. RocjcviiXK. Mo., May 20.

The $10,000 St. Bernard dog. owned by John W. Moore, died this morning alter an illness of two or three days. This dog was the largest and most valuable dog of its kind in the country, if not the largest in the World. He was im ported by Mr. Moore from England in ISmG and was about four years old. He measured 34 inches across the shoulders and weighed over 200 louiids. He had taken 15 first-class gold prizes in England, and sine! his impor tation has taken about, twenty-first class prizes in this country, taking the first prize at every dog show where he .has been exhibited, Mr. Moore was offered 1o,(kh) for him, but refused to sell him. A Brave Act. IlA.Lrrox, Pa.. May 20. A heroic act was erformcd in Coxc Bros. t Co.'s mines at Iteaver Meadow yesterday, by William Oallaghcr, a miner, by which he saved the life of a companion. Gallagher and Patrick Couoghun had prejiared a blast, ami on lighting the fuse ran (or phu-es of safety, (iallaghcr reached a safe place, but Conoghuti fell in the manway across a drill, from which position he was unable to extricate himself. Taking in the situatin at a glance, Gallagher, at the risk of his own life, ran back, and, seizing the burning fuse, extinguished it. An instant later and the fuse would have burned to the wder and the explosion would doubtless have blown Couoghan to pieces. A CREAT DISASTER. Many People Killed by the Burning of the Theatre Comlque In Paris. Pahis, May2o .The TheatreComiquc took fire to-night during the performance of the opera of" Mignon " and many lives were lost. There was a scene of the most terrible excite ment and many jssiple leaped from the win dows in order to escao the ftaim.w. Four teen persons are known to lie dead and forty three ore badly injured. It is probable that many were crushed to death in the galleries, but at present this is uncertain. The fire broke out during the first act of the opera " Mignon." One of the wings caught tire from a gas jet, and the entire stage was immediately developed in flames. The lire soon spread to the whole house. Madame Merguillier and M, M. Tasquin und Bernard were Itn the stage when the tire broke out. All the actors run out iu their stage costumes. The audience got out easily, but the gas was turned off before all had left the building, and it is feared that some were left in the upper tiers. The roof soon fell in, sending showers of sparks as far as the Phut; de la Bourse. With the exception of Madame Scllier, who jn-rished in the Hamcsf all the actors escaK;l, although several of thesiiper numeraries were injured. Pakis, May 20. The bodies of ballet danc ers who lost their lives by the burning of the Opera Comiquu last night are said to lie ly ing in hcas in the ruins of the theatre. The number of jicrsons killed greatly exceeds the previous estimates. An excited crowdj sur rounded the ruins bwlay, which were guard ed by a military cordon, and many distress ing scenes were witnessed. At 2 p. m. twen ty liodies iu a terribly mutilated condition were recovered from the ruins, princialiy the remains of ballet giris, choristers and ma chinists. Five of the bodies were those of elderly ladies, und one of t hem was that of a child. The firemen lowered some of the bodies from the fourth story of the theatre by means of ropes. The remains of three men and two women were found in the stage Ihix, where the victims had taken refuse from the flames. It is ascertained that many lushes lie buried in the debris hi the upper galleries, w hence escae wo exceedingly dif ficult. I-ate this afternoon the bodies of eighteen ladies, all in full dress, were found lying to gether at the bottom of the staircase leading from the second story. These ladies all bad escorts to the theatre, but no remains of men were found anywhere near where the women were burned to death. The wails of the theatre began falling this evening, and the search for liodies had to be abandoned for the time being, but the work of Marching was resumed to-night, and a nnnilsT more were exhumed. The otlicial statement says that fifty bodies have already Im'H recovered. M Rcveillon, a Deputy, sjieaking in the Chamber of Deputies, this afternoon, esti mated that at least 200 persons bud lost their lives in the (ire. 1'o-day loO missing N-rsotis have been in quired for by relatives. They are supposed to have jierished iu the flames. The bottom of the theatre is flooded with water to the depth of live feet. Sixty Isslies have been found floating in the water by the firemen. The library attached to the theatre was entirely destroyed with all its contents, in cluding many valuable scores. Sixthousand costumes were burned in the wardrolie. The )(icra Comique was insured for 1,000,000 francs. An artist named Philliie performed prodi gies of valor in saving life. He mounted a ladder three times anil saved three ilanseuses after they bad been abandoned by the fire men. In the Rue Favart a sudden gust of wind cleared away the dense smoke, when a wo man and two men were sit-n standing in an aic'Icof the upM-niiost cornice. The woman triiil to jump, but the men prevented her. When all were finally rescued the woman was a raving maniac. A singer had a miraculous escuie from a dressing room in an angle at the top of the building. He says that the wind kept the llames off that part of the building, but a riv er of molten lead lsmred from the roof, the course of which he diverted with a Uiartl to prevent the weight carrying down the shaky tloor. The officers are endeavoring to underrate the loss of life. The large number of bodies found has alarmed the public. Will Hang if they Catch Him, Haiikishi-ho, May 2o. Governor Beaver decided a novel point to-day. 1-ost week .lames K. McCain-, the murderer of an ac quaintance in Waj tie county, escaped from jail after several unsuccessful efforts Is fore the Board of Pardons to obtain the commu tation of his death sentence to imprisonment for life. As the fugitive was to lie executed to-morrow, the pMiunl ol Pardons had agreed to consider an application for a re-hearing ut the meeting last. week, and arguments were then made in bis interest. The prisoner evidently regarded his chun ces of life slim, and took advantage of the first opportunity to break jail. He has thus far eluded capture, and the Governor, fearing that legal complications might arise if he al lowed the dav of execution to arrive without granting a new respite, to-day deferred the time of the hanging until theSnth of June next, when lie will expiate his crime if he should be captured meanwhile. If not re stored to jail theovcnior will issue respites from time to time as occasion nicy require. Cone A-Fishlntr. Washington, 1). C, May 27.
