The leg islature has actually pased a bill per mitting prize-fighting.

He represents a great State, and he will U- a line ad dition to the official life of the c spital. We ongratulate him upon the honor, an 1 we congratulate Major Mc'Cinley i:pon getting such a good man to lie one f bis official family. Ix AX opt-n letter fblressed to the County Auditois asd published in last w eek's Meyersdale "Commercial,"' Ed itor Smith makes feme grave charges f mis!!ianagemei:t' on the part of the County Commit -i'wrs. The tenor of the letter would indicate that Ilrer Smith is !oal-d for big g;:ii:e. His first volley, for a trained and veteran marks man, was somewhut ild and seattc r it.g ; but this may be ex'-used for want of recent practice. When he gets the proper range letter marksmanship may Ih? looked for, and his friends confi dently predict that in future efforts he will hit the bull's-eye, or at least a "tin lox," four times out of five. In the mean time the annual report of the County Auditors is looVH f--r w ith in creased and unusual interest They have an important duty to perform, and the public confidently expect them to faithfully and fearlessly discharge their trust. It is said of the successor of Senator Pjliois of Idaho, that he is ignorant His name is Henry Heitfeld, and he is a farmer who has had very little edu cation. The lack of sch-.K.Uvg does not necessarily imply that a mau has not a g kkI mini. Speaker Reed, in one of his speeches in the House, said that some of the lest men he knew had little education. Their ability was in strong minds and natural common sene. A good, sensible farmer in the S.vne would be of more use than some of the overtaught persons who talk endlessly withotit effect If Mr. Heitfi. ld is a man of that kind, he will be a decided acquisition to the highest legislative body in the world. But the truth of the "matter is that Populism has been tdowly but surely weakening the S-uate of the L'nited States at the very time when it i)?eds strengthening. It is ap lalling to think that the present gen eration is to le judged by the perform ftniw of the Tillmans and the IY-ffers uud the Aliens but it i one of the pen- j tdtir that the ieople have to jy to 'auaticisui that sends such men to the ate. State Capitol In Ashes. A telephone message received at 2"50 o'clock yesterday afternoon announced that the State Capitol at Harrisburg had been totally destroyed by fire. The wings of the building occupied by the Senate and House were also de stroy ed. The corner-stone of the Capitol was laid on May 31, 1S1, with imposing ceremonies, and two years later the building was occupied by the Senate and Legislature, the seat of govern ment having been removed from Lan caster to Harrisburg. Numerous addi tions were made to the Capitol in after years, several hundred thousand dol lars having leen expended in making repairs to it during the past three years. The handsome new State Library and Executive building adjoining the Capitol is uninjured. The above news was confirmed by a private message from Hon. W. II. Sanner. The latest report is that three mes senger boys lost their lives in the fire. It is very probable that records and papers of inestimable value have been destroy ed. Conuklss the other day passed a bil to pay John Itoach's heirs the money that was so unjustly kept from him by a Democratic Secretary of the Navy on a trumped-up charge that vessels built for the United States Navy did not com? up to the requirements. This was one of the smallest acts of the first Cleveland administration, and it is not to the credit of ex-Secretary Whitney that he was the instigator of the jK-rse-eutio'.i of Mr. Roach. The Roach es tate should have what it is justly enti tled to, and if it does .not get it from this Congress, it surely will from the next. Senator Mantle, of Montana, say a new silver party will be formed in 1!XJ0, composed chiefly of Republicans. Such a party necessarily would le very small. "Probably the silver party of li00, whatever its constituent elements mav !e, will be small anyhow. Many of tho-? who voted for free silver in the recent canvass want free greenbacks now, and some of the others have come over t the gold side since the election. If there is a contest on the money issue three years hence, it will be letween the gold standard and greenbackism. The fight will not be so hard as it was in ISfi, fur the dollar which is intrin sically worth only the fractional part of a mill can never muster the strength that the 50 cent dollar commanded last year. Aa Historic House Hazed. CumbtTland News. The tearing down of an old log bous in Frien-r V!r SueJWn?.-P. rv'n's an interesting liit of history anil removes a very old landmark which wa famous for tbe fact that it was where the first steel and edge tools are said to bavo been made in Pennsylvania. In the latter part of the last century William Mcltermett emigrated from Scotland to that section. He was a black smith and edge tool maker by vocation,, and operate! a trip hammer forge, and manufactured axes hatchets aupers aud the like, Mr. McDermett made his own steel out of charcoal iron, which lie ob tained iu that hxality. The dam for the forge was creeled on a small stream which flows from a large spring at the foot of a hill of Cove Mountain, and is called "Black Spring," not from the col or of the water, Imt from the first settler whose name was itluck, and to whom the land was warranted. In the log house, which has liec-u torn away, a dnughter was lioru to Mr. and Mrs. McDermett,. who afterward lieeame the wife of Gov ernor David It Porter, and the mother of Judge William A. Porter, of the Su preme Bench of Pennsylvania, and of Dr ;eorge W. Porter, of Harrishurg, anil Gen. Horace Porter. Mi-Ierinett's en terprise did not succed financially and h moved to Huntingdon county, where Governor David It. Porter, then a young man, was clerking.

SnccamTn to Pit ease. Ptnt.ADKi.PHiA, Jan. .7. -George P.. Rolierts, president of l!e Pennsylvania r.u'.road, died at his residence J'? this city at 4:30 o'clock this af:ernoin. Dr. J. W. Iiodge, who has torti Mr. Roberts' family physicini for thirty years, stated to-nif;ht to a rpprf-eniative of the United Ass.viated Prss-s that Mr. Roberts hail had a serious orj Miii; trouble of the heart for more tbaiif iter n years. In July last Mr. Roberts went to New England for a tile.-i t r"i! and cisaege and while there more serious symptoms were developed. n his return to Lis home, on August ."1, hi nt'.H-.-tion had so increased that it was necessary fir him to be confined to his roesn. Siiv.-o then he has leen gradually failing, and for t!io past week his symptoms leaiiie more alarming, until his dath ttis afternoon. During his illness Mr. Rol-crts hns been attended by Dr. Lodge and Drs. J. M. Dacosta and James Tyson, as consult ing physicians. His wife and imnoliaio family and Dr. Idt:o were at the bedside when the end came. No arrangements have yet been made for the fuueral. In the death of George P.. Rolierts Philadelphia loses one of its foremost citizens, and the Pennsylvania railroad company an official whose exwntive abil ity and prai-tical knowledge have phicod the road in the very forefront of modern railway systems of any country in the world. Mr. Roberts' life from lioyhood almost, was a history of the Pennsylva nia railroad company, for when he was not yet out of his teens he entered the service of that corporation and by indus try, ability and attention to the thousand and one details of railroading advanced from one position to another until he reached the presidency of the great (cor poration. Mr. Rolierts in character was a plain mau and sought but little distinction and place in the social world, but devoted all his time and abiltiy to the f irwarding f the interests of tbe company with whi-h he was identified. He was recogni-.ed among railroad magnates and financiers as their evjual iu the world of lu.,iues, aud his interest and opinion were sought and respected, and by the shareholders, directors and his co-workers in the Pennsylvania railroad company he was considered to be the directing brain of the great enterprie, Mr. Roberts' unostentatiousness, firmness and j;i!iee endeared him to the employees of ti:n company, and not since tbe great strike in Pittsburg in lss7 has there been any serious difficulty with the enmioj-L't-s of the road. Mr. Roberts was descended fro:n an old Welsh stock, and was born iu en a farm owned by his father on the out skirts of Philadelphia. This farm Mr. Roberts maintained all his lift', and of late years has used it its country resi dence. He received a inof,-ssiona!"'.rain- ing in the Polytechnic ii;si;t'ite at Tr-vr, N.

In this position ail engiinH-ring pi"st!ons relating ti the construction, e.t"iooti and improvement of the I'ennsylvaii'a system wers under his o::tr:il, an 1 ie further had general supervision of the aci-counts of tho company through the comptroller. On June 1, Isso, Colonel Scott resigned the presidency, tnd Mr. Robe rts, ns his logical successor, was chosen fir the head of tho corporation. Since that time Mr. Roberts has I -ecu ro-elet.-te-l annually and under his management has seen the road grow with leaps and liotiii Is until to-day its railroad system is unsurpas-: d by any railroad in the world. For years there have cropped ont per ennially rumors that President Roberts was about to resign and that this, that, or the other Pennsylvania railroad mag nate was to '.m his suc(sssor. These ru mors although uniformly deniel, wete largely based upon gossip fr m the inner circle as to Mr. Robert.-;' poor he:!th. Repeateill y it was said tiiat A. J.
