One man and two horses were burned to death, and several boildings were destroyed. Abont half past two o'clook John Betts, aged forty-five years, who has been sleeping in the hay loft of a large stable owned by the brewery firm of Fnrman & Schmidt in the rear of the St. Elmo Hotel on Shamokin street, went to bed,a tew seoonds later flames were discovered issuing from the up per part of the structure and before a general alarm oould be sounded the building was like a roaring furnaoe. Betts was burned to death and the bnilding and oonteDts was destroyed before the fire department oould reach the soene. Several citizens experienc ed narrow escapes in an effort to res one Betts and two valuable horses, whlob were roasted to death. The flames spread to an adjoining tenement house oooopied by John Hopka and family. Airs. Hopka be oame pamo stricken and was in the aot of jamping from the seoond story window when Bhe was restrained by her husband. Mr. aud Mrs. Hopka groped their way thioogh the smoke Into the street but were almost over oome several times. The house wan badly damaged. After a hard battle lasting several hours the firemen gained oontroi and prevented further destruotioo. One of the boildings threatened was the Sara toga Hotel which is run by William Wilson. No insuranoe was oarried by any of the losers. riany Uses for Engine. Tbe Boroogli traction eugiun proves to be a pretty useful pieoe ot machin ery. It is indeed quite surprising how many different uses it oan be pat to. It was originally employed in pump ing water when the sewer waa being dog. It was soon fonnd that it coald be ased to an advantage as a steam plow in breaking np the hard macad am on streets that were to be paved. There was also work for it to do in operating the stone crasher when it oame to turniahiug material for oon orete needed in street paving. Yester day the old engine's sphere of useful ness was enlarged by being made to as sist in digging the sewer extension on Lower Mulberry street. It coold not go down into the trenail, it is trae, but was used to exoellent advantage in entting through the oourse of oinder and iron stone whioh forms the road bed,dragging the plow backwards and forwards over the same spot until a deep furrow was formed, below whioh it was easy digging. By means of the engine yesterday the sewer took a big stride forward,tbe ground being brok en as far as Pine street. Souvenir of Milton.

Summary Gonrt was held at the Armory last night by Colonel William F. Barber,at which the oase of Claude M. Qergat,private. Company i',charg ed with non-attendanao at drills, was finally disposed of. Qorgas failed to appear at Summary vourt held at Eanville on May Ist,but was arrested on Saturday. He was in durauoe for a short time, but on tak ing all the oiroumstauoes iuto consid eration he was released on his own re oognlzance to appear last night. He kept his word and preseuted him self before Colonel Barber at the hour designated. Colonel Barber was disposed to be lenient but the offense was one that oalls for punishment. The very best tbat could be done for private Uorgas ander the oircumstances was to impjse a fine of five dollars. Colonel Barber gave Oorgae 30 days io whioh to pay the moner lIGINATIONIEBTISB ' JAY RESULT The Standard Eleotrio Light Coin jsny yesterday took down the forty loot pole at the northeastern oorner of Mill and Front streets and replaoed it ( ivltli a tall sixty foot pole, wliioh will < be ased to elevate the wires on a level < with the top o! the river bridge, whioli I will be ased to oarry thein over to i South Danville.

What is needed now is for the Bor ough to remove the eleotrio light pol 9 i at the southeast oorner of the same in- | teraectlon at streets. The wingwall i ohanged by the county,especially since : the railing has b«en replaced, it must < be confessed, helpß the appearance of things considerably. It is thought that the Borough Council will yield to pub -1(0 opinion and remove or very muoli modify the curbing at the foot of the approach. Whatever is done, however, most be accomplished quiokly ; other wise a delay will oocur in putting down the pavement. The trolley traok is fully oonneoted.

Speaking of Instances of double con- ; sciousuess, Mental Science notes the > following case: The patient was a girl, twenty-two years of age. She suffered from some | affection that may have been menin gitis, but this Is not known positively. Sbe then developed acute maniacal ex citation. During this illness the pa tient presented some remarkable changes of personality such as are Been in hysteria. The author does not term the curious manifestations by this name, but describes some nine or more different varieties of personality manifested by the patient that are quite interesting. Thus the patient had spells of blindness, deafness, paralysis, etc. The most interesting of these manifestations, because the least easy to explain, was the patient's ability to draw the full figure of a nurse, etc., during her spell of blindness. To con vince himself that this was the actual case the author held a book between the patient's eyes and the sheet of paper on which she was drawing or put his hands before her eyes while she was drawing without In any way inter fering with her drawing. Her sense of touch was highly sensitive during that period; she could detect a line drawn across her drawing paper, dates writ ten at the top of her drawing paper, merely by touching the paper where the intruding lines had been drawn. During her normal state the patient could never draw either before or after her illness. The Horaonlioc l.etfend. Here is an explanation of the old horseshoe superstition: St. Duustan was a skilled farrier. One day while at work in his forge the devil entered in disguise and requested Dunstan to shoe hi* "single hoof." The saint, al though he recognized his malign cus tomer, acceded, but caused him so much pain during the operation that Satan begged him to desist. This St. Dunstan did, but only after he had made the evil one promise that neither he nor any of the lesser evil spirits, his servants, would ever molest the In mates of a h }use where the horseshoe was displayed. A Ser.llf Ho lint* of Lord*. When King Ilenry Ylll.'s name was spoken in bin presence in the house of lords every peer prostrated himself with Asiatic servility. An entry in the records of the house gives the sub stauce of a speech delivered by the chancellor ou Jan. 10, 15-11, In which the king's goodness aud wisdom are eitolled, and it tells us that whenever his majesty was mentioned, "which happened often," all the lords pros trated themselves, bowing to the ground as one man. force of tbe Future. Cut off the future, and man Is tbe most timid of creatures. The demons and dragons are too terrible for him to face and attuck. But spread before him the Ullmltuble future, aud he will dare all things, certain of victory at last.

These exoroisHß with presentation of diploma, which have beeu inaugurated by Bor ough Superintendent Gordy,are a naw feature of our schools and one which invests the grammar school ooorse with new dignity aud importance. Tiiat the granting of a diptuum iu tint grade below the High School should prove a stimulus, inciting the popilv to study and directly resulting iu a Utq'er number of prooiotious to tlie High Sohool is only natural. Before the day of giamm&r school commencement and the granting of di plomas in that grade it wAs iarn in dued that the promotions to the High School numbered forty-five; they were ofteuer below forty. Last Tear and this year previous there was an increase. This year the oomhined number of grammar school graduates is fifty-six. The commencement program for each of the grammar school* was printed in advance in the colomns of this paper. The commencement iu each of the wards yestoiday proved to be all that was autioipated. No one could fail to be impressed not only with the dignity and earnestness of the pupil* who are now ready to cross the threshold into the High School, hut also with the thoroughness shown and the evidence of good work on tho part of the teach ers. That the full significance of the gram mar school commencement is fully ap preciated iu each of tho wards wa< well attested by the large turn out of patrons and others. At each place the grammar suhool room was orowded. The rooms were uiont beautifully dec orated with evergret flowers, flags. <&c. The girl'gr idu.itos were dressed in white aud tho event in most re speoti was a counterpart of High school commencement. The diplomas in e»ch instance were presented by Borough Saperiuteideut Gordy. who by using a hor~e and buggy was able to reach the different wards as scheduled ou the programs. llis appearance increas ed the interest very much and at eaoh ward as he handed out the much covet ed diplomas he made a few appropriate remarks, praising the graduates for their diligeuc", congratulating them on their success and welcoming them to the High School.

The constellation Orion is mentioned *ln the literature of all ages. In Egypt I it represented Horus, the young or rls- , log sun, In 11 boat surmounted by stars, closely followed by Sirius, which was shown as a cow. It has also been 1 found sculptured on the walls of Thebes 0,000 years ago. And on the men of that early time it shone down ; from the same position and with the same brightness as it does on us today, a striking example of the unchange nbleness of the heavens. From the days of the early Hindoos to the present the constellation has for some reason borne always a stormy character. Allusions to Its direful Influ ence are found everywhere among the classic writers. Thus Milton wrote: "When with fierce winds Orion arrived Hath vexed the Bed sea coast. The loss of the Roman squadron In the first Punic war was ascribed to the fleets having sailed just after the ris ing of Orion. The group has also been employed as a calendar sign, Its morn ing rising Indicating the beginning of summer, its midnight rising the season of grape gathering and Its earl}* even lng rising the arrival of winter, with its attendant storms. In recent times the group has always represented a great hunter or warrior. Its present title came into Greek astronomy from the Euphrates and originally siguifled the light of heaven. It Reminded Him. The best reni(»dy against a lapse of memory is the piece of thread tied about the finger. But there Is a well authenticated case of a man whose wife tied a piece of thread around his finger in the morning to remind him to get hi < hall* cut. On his way home to dinner he notic ed the piece of thread. "Yes. I remem ber." he said and, smiling proudly, entered the usual shop and sat down before the accustomed artist. "Why. I cut your hair this morning, sir!" said the astonished barber. Evltleneo n« Hand. "Ah!" sighed the man with the scan ty hair. "Sh;i!«< speare «<poke truly when he said.

At the last meeting of Oounoil the Borough Surveyor was instructed to resurvey Bloom street, giving a grade on which general repairs could be car ried forward that would reduoe the roadway to the same level as the trot ley track and enable the Borough to construct crossings that would be of service iu muddy W6ather. Mr. Keefer having made the survey as requested tho Borough Council has instructed the Street Commissioner to proceed with repairs, beginning work (luring the early part o* this week. The intention is not to interfere with the trolley track, which in most in stances. lies below the level of the street but to cut down the roadway until it; conforms with the track.

A prominent London journal prints the following Indictment of the habit* of many English society women: "A generation back it was among the lower classes we found Intemperance rife, and then it was the beer of the people which supplied the means; to day we find intemperance rampant from the highest to the lowest, the vehicle being alcohol, impure and sim ple, vile concoctions labeled Indiffer ently brandy, whisky, gin. Our wearied, jaded votaries of pleasure seek temporary recuperation from these Impure sources; then, when their day is done, they resort to their sulplional, trional, morphia or what not in the vain hope of a night's good rest Another most appalling fact that we have to face is the rapid in crease in the number of women among the Inebriate ranks. "What is the daily life history of a woman in society? Too jaded by self ish indulgences, after a night of mor bid sleep born of some favorite drug she rises to face a day's racing with its concomitant betting. Her break fast inadequate, probably supplement ed by brandy or whisky and soda; luncheon indigestible, savory but un healthful bonnes bouches, liberal po tations of champagne or. more likely, recourse to familiar brandy or whisky peg; a rush home, further pandering to a morbid appetite, more champagne, later perhaps a dance or many hours devoted to inevitable bridge, again brandy or whisky and soda, then bed. with sulplional, trional. morphia or some equally noxious drug. "What wonder that there is no time, no disposition, for domestic duties, no care for the family life that erst was the backbone of England! Physical and moral degeneration is the inevi table result." A Matter of Gender. The English language is supposed to be very simple In the matter of gen ders, but foreigners who triumphantly handle questions of gender of inani mate things in their own languages often have their difficulties with the English. A Frenchman recently came to grief over his English. "I fear I cockroach too much upon your time, madame," he remarked politely to his hostess. "En "roach, monsieur," she smilingly correct**? Mm.
