After a four days' recess the legislature returned to work Monday, and as yet there has been no definite move toward fixing a time for final adjournment. It may be said, too that no date will be fixed until the bill to abolish the public build ings commission of Philadelphia has been finally acted upon. The senate resolution to adjourn May 11 was referred to the house committee on wags and means. There it has remained and there it will re main until the bill aforesaid has been reached on final passage, for a majority of that committee, under the leadership of Chairman Boyer, favors the passage of that bill. After the bill to abolish the public buildings commission has passed or has been deleated adjournment may be brought about with an abruptness that will be surprising to members who have legis lation to look after and who have not been posted. About all of the important legislation pending has been more or less involved with the fate of the P. B. C. bill, as it is called, its friends and its enemies having formed combinations with the friends or en emies of other measures on the log-rolling motto of "I tickle you, you tickle me," but after the central measure is disposed of there will be no considerate regard tor any other measures which are not in position to receive speedy consideration. Contrary to expectation Gov. Pattison has approved the bill detaching Lawrence from Butler county and making it a seper ate judicial district. Iu the senate Monday night, Dunlap of Beaver introduced a bill to appropriate $1,000,000 to aid in the construction, im provement and maintenance of the public roads, payable on warrants drawn by the auditor general to the several county treasurers in proportion to the number of miles of public roads in their respective counties. Bannon of McKean introduced a bill to confirm asseuients, liens, judgements and other proceedings subject to municipal im provements. House bill was reported favorably to pro hibit the employment of unnaturalized persons in or about institutions recieving state aid, and the bill to require unnatural ized persons to pay a licensed tax passed second reading. A message from the Govertor announced that he bad approved the bill making.Law rence county a sepbrate judicial district. Other messages announced bis disapproval of the current reselution to authorize the clerks of both houses to receive money or postago to mail the Legislative Record, and of concurrent resolutions providing for the appointment of commissions to consid er the advisability of the establishment ol a state printing office and to inquire as to how many persons of foreign birth are now quartered on tbe state charitable and pen al institutions. • The legislature will not go to the World's Fair. A resolution for tbe centenuial com mittees of house and senate to make ar rangements, the expense to be provided for by an act of the legislature, wa« voted down in the hituse to night, 43 for and 83 against, after a great deal of oratory for tho record. W. M. Carr was appointed Postmaster of Philadelphia, last Wednesday, and the appointment is due to Chairman Harrity. A number of fourth-claHs postmastefs for Pennsylvania were also appointed that day. J. C. Bovard, who appoint* d P. M. at Forestville, this county, vice Mrs Brysoa, resigned, was tbe only Botler Co. change. 1 ho bill repealing the Sunday !,iw of Al legbcoy county was reported 'from com mittee by Senator Lyon. It was at once called up by Senator Flinn and passed fin ally by a vote of 32 to 24. Lloyd opposed and Senators Herring, Ross and Lyon sup ported it, The World'* Fair Opened, The Electric Age was auspiciously ushered into being in this last decade of the nineteenth century. Monday, when President Cleveland by the pressing of a button started the mighty machinery and the rushing waters and the revolving wheels in the World's Columbian Exposi tion. No exhibit ot the Fair that is to attract the thousands to that city for the next six months can be more marvelous than the magical effect which followed the solumn opentng of the Fair at 12:0? Mondav. Of the multitude of visitors —some estimate the number as high as 200.0^0 —probably not one fullv realised the full import of the effect that was to come from the arrange ment cleverly devised in the opening of the Exposition. It was known in a vague way that the President was to press a golden key and that the electric communi cation with the machinery was to start the Fair, but no one realized how intricate was this machinery, how infinite the ramifica tion of that electric spark, until the great fountains threw up their geysers 70 feet into the air and the rumble and hum of wheels in the Manufactures building, and the clatter of machinery in all part s of that area of a mile square or more told the story of the final consummation of scien tific thought. The lifeless started into being on every hand, draped statuary shed its veil and re vealed to the world the artistic labors of the past 18 months, and, in a moment, all that had been apathy and inert and inact ive through the long hours of the morning, sprang into an animated existence and thrilled the multitude and crowned the triumph of the Exposition. In previous expositions the pessibslities of electricity have been limited to the mere starting of the engines in Machinery Hall, but in this it is made a thousaed servants do its bidding, and from the great Corli s engine and the mammoth fountains down to the minutest acts where power and touch were requisite, the magic of electric ity did the duty of the hour. The multitudes which thronged the grounds Monday were greater in numbers than had been anticipated considering the inauspicious condition of the weather. Probably 300,000 people were assembled when at 11 o'clock the advace guard of the cortege signalled the approach of President Cleveland and the dignitaries of the day to the World's Fair grounds. After entering the grounds, the journey to the Administration building was made with all possible dispatch, the Presidential •tarty not stopping to acknowledge any of The popular overations extended to the Chief Executive. Of course the cheering was tremendous when President Cleveland faced the great multitude assembled—the largest audience ever faced by an Americ an citizen. Following the President and the Director General were the members of the Presidential Catftet, under the escort of the "World's Fair officials, the Duke de Varagua and his family, members of the Diplomatic Corps, members of Congress, Senators and other prominent dignitaries, who had seats on the grand stand The 2,000 Columbian guards who surrounded the Administration building, made a futile effort to keep back the crowd, but they were swept forward by the resistless wave and jammed against the railing until theY themselves become an unrecognizable part of that incoherent, struggling but good-na tured and cheerine area of humanity. At 11:30 to the minute the programme opened with a blast from the orchestra, which rendered the martial air ot the Columbian march of John K. Paine. The music lasted for 15 minutes, and at its con clusion Director General Davis stepped to the front of the platform, waved his hand supplicatingly two or three timed to the vast audience, and then announced in a tone which was lost in the hum of voices that the Rev. W. H. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the United States Senate would pronounce the invocation. The overture of "Bienzi" by Wagner, wafi next rendered by the orchestra and then Director General Davis on behalf of the Exposition delivered the opening ad dress which was very appropriately word ed and quite lengthy, and President Cleve land responded as follows: lam heie to join my fellow citizens in the congratulations which befit this occa sion. Surrounded by the stupenduous re sults of American enterprise and activity, and in view of magnificient evidences of American skill and intelligence we need not fear that these congratulations will be exaggerated. We stand to-day in thepres-1 ence of the oldest nations of the world, and point to the great achievements we here exhibit, asking no allowaoee on the score of youth. The onthusiasm with which we contemplate onr work intensifies the warmth of the greeting we extend to those who have come from foreign lands to illustrate with us the growth and prog ress of human endeavor in the direction of a higher civilization. We who believe that popular education and the stimulation of the best impulses of our citizens lead the way to a realization of the proud national destiay which our faith promises, gladly welcome the foppor tunity here afforded us to see the results accomplished by efforts which have eeI J. exerted longer than ours in the field of man's improvement; in appreciative re tarn we exhibit tho nnparalled advance ment and wondyful accomplishments of a young nation, and present the triumphs of a vigorous, self-reliant and independent Pe^e C have built these splendid edifices, but we have also built the magDificient fabno of a popular government, whose grand proportions are seen throughout the world. We have made and here gathered together objects of use and beauty, the products ol American skill and invention; we have also made men who rule them selves. It is an exalted mission in which we and our guests from other lands are en gaged as we co-operate in the inauguration of an enterprise devoted to human en lightenment; and in the undertaking we here enter upon we exemplify, in the no blest sense, the brotherhood of nations. Let us hold fast to the meaning that un derlies this ceremony, and let us not lqse the impressiveness of this moment. As by a touch the machinery that gives lite to this vast exposition is now set in motion, so at the same instant let our hopes and inspirations awaken forces which in all time to come shall influence the welfare, the dignity and the freedom of mankind. At the conclusion of his address the President touched the electric button and the World's Columbian Exposition of W93 was ushered into official existence. The hugh f'ountians 300 feet away from the grand stand threw a volnme of water TO feet into the air and tbe roaring of the en gines in Machinery Hall, a quarter of a mile away, told the multitude that the electric spark had done its duty. As soon as the ceremonies attendant upon the formal opening of the Exposition were over, President Cleveland, Governor Atgeld, Mayor Harrison, tho Duke De Ver agua and other notables were conducted to tho dining hall on the third floor of Ad ministration building, where they were en tertained at dinner by the World's Fair officials. When the dinner was over the party, with President Cleveland and Direc tor General Davis iu tbe lead, was conduc ted from the Administration building and was driven around the grounds. At the Manufactures building, which was tho first jdace reached, the Presidential party al igbted at tbe lAin entrance and walked from one end of tbe monstrous edifice to the other. From here they drove to the north end of the grounds, among tbe state buildings, and back along the main drive past the Horticultural building to tbe south end of tbe grounds. After having thoroughly inspected the White City, Pres ident Cleveland and his party ware driven to Grand Crossing, where they took the train for Washington. The second day of the World's Colum bian Exposition was a very busy one. The reign of good weather, which kindly be gun last night that the fuir might open properly, continued, and within the past twenty-four hours the great show has tak en a gigantic stride toward completion. The seas of mud in front of the grand stand had entirely disappeared by noon, through hard work of hundreds of men with steam rollers. In all part< of the grounds the roads showed marked improve ment and tbe thousands of visitors could travel over tbe vast grounds wltlj compar ative safety. There were many visitors on hand, too, as those Chicago residents who remained at home yesterday, fearing n... crush, came out to-day in force to see tnr themselves the eraet condition of affair- Wide-awake Pittsburgh people are lead ing matters in the way of completing ex hibits They are aboat all ready fur busi ness on all sides. There are yet few visi tors from Western Pennsylvania iu Cbica gt». The dav was very quiet in the Penn sylvania building. There were some in quiries for the register, which lias not ar rived, and tbe people in charge of the house do not know when to export it. "Old Liberty." as usual, canio iu for a deal of homage from tho visitors, but the Philadelphia policemen are t ikiug tntiv!, ol this to themselves. The four big officers who guard tbe bell are making themselves obnoxious to tho wer-terners by their blust ering way of doing business. The are, to to .say the least, rude to visitors. They complained of the bad water furnished by Chicago, and said tbey would not drink it at all It is declaied they have given up the •ffort. Last Friday was a great day at the Turk ish village. At high noon, by permission of the Sultan of Turkey, and for the first time in a Christian country, a Mohamme dan mosque was dedicated in true Moslem style. And all the Turks from tar away had on their gayest clothes and were on hand. The street in Cairo sent up it mot ley crowd, and there were Egyptians, Sou danese, Abbysinians and negroes, and bringing up the tail end ot the procession which wj. headed by 10 Turkish -nldiers in uniform* of red and gold, and included 1.200 nobles of tho Mystic Shrine, three priests of Sedan, and a lot of turbaued guard- on camels and Arabian horses Here the donkey boys. These Utter wer- .pe for killing. It is only when one see- one of these imps that one understands with Mark Twain that the Lord never seemed to pay any attention to the fact that Moses once killed an Egyptian and quietly buried him in the sand/ The murdered man was doubtless a progenitor of these same don key boys. A KILL now pending in the Legislature, and which will probably pass bothHon>es, provides that all municipal corporations in the State, which have the power to con-truct, purchase or maintain water works for the sapplv of the public, should be iuvested with the right of eminent do main, so as to enable such municipalities or public corparation.- to acquire either by purchace or condemnation the works and property of private water companies. In mak ing such purchase or condemnation the municipality may pay a price not ex ceeding the cost of the tntire plant and the maintenance of the property, with a per centum per annum added thereto. If the price of purchase is not agreed upon by the parties in interest, then the mun icipality shall pay whatever shall be awarded as the value, to be ascertained by petition to the Couit of Common Pleas of the county in which the property is situ ated. The Court is to appoint five view ers who shall give reasonable notice, and procede to hear ani deurtiiine 'he matter. A majority of these viewer- .->ball make report to the Conn >f the valuation of the property to be taken, «s f :;nd by ti em. Either party may within twenty .lays ap peal from the award t<> the Court of the county, which shall hear and determine the matter, with the right of appeal to the Supreme Court by either party for final decision. Buried in a Landslide, Tons upon tons of the rock and clay which forms the blnff, that has for two years hung like a threateninz cloud over that part of Second avenue, Pittsburg, known as "Yellow Row" fell about 8 o'clock on Saturday night. The rear por tion of a tenement house in the row was crushed by the falling rock and clay. Sol omon Kelly, colored, his wife and four children were buried in tho wreckage Fannie, a 7-year-old daughter, was dead when found. She had been smothered The wife and mother held in her arms a 0- weeks-old baby. The mother, with her husband and two children, had been pin ned in by tho falling walls. The babe, however, was not even scratched. It was with great difficulty that the colored fam ily was released from the ruins. Those rescued were sent to the Homeopathic Hospital, where they are improving rapid ly. The house and a two story brick were almost completely wrecked. "When the landslide occurred there seem ed to be a cyclone of flying rocks. The whole bluff seemed to "tremble with the force of the fall and the whole neighbor hood was frightened. An alarm of fire was promptly sounded. Police Inspector McKelvey, with a squad of officers, prompt ly responded with the firemen and all unit ed in speedy efforts to relieve the distress ed and to keep down the confusion that for a time threatened a panic. The wrecked house was occupied by the Kelly family, Martin Radburn, his wife and child, and Mrs. Peterson. Kelly is a teamster employed by J. J. Yandergrift. tte had just concluded his supper when the accident occurred. The unfortunate little girl was seated near the stove. The other and more fortunate members of the family were «eated under the staircase, which saved their lives. A squad of officers were kept on guard at the ruins all day Saturday. There was evident danger of more of tho bluff falling. The oocnpants of the houses were not alarmed, however, and they refused to quit their homes. Building Inspector brown examined the bluff and the wrecked house next morning. He said that the rain of Saturday made the place decid edly dangerous. He advised the people in the neighboring house to leave. They refused to go without being ordered away by the police. It is thought that there may be other bodies under the rock and I clay, as people were in the habit of con gregating in the rear of the houses. How ever, no reports have been made of missing | persons. AFTER having been united for thirty years as a Judicial District, Lawrence Co. was granted an adsolute divorce from Cutler Co., this week.

Surprise Party. MR. EDITOR if you will allow me space in your valttable paper, I will try to tell you a little about a birthday surprise to the honor of the venerable father, William Scott, by his children on the.29tli ot April, 1893, which was his eiehty seventh birth day. He lives with his youngest son W. J. Scott, on the old homestead in Lancast er twp., where be first settled in the early days of this county, and where he is cared for by his son and his estimable lady with all the tenderness and attention that can be bestowed on an aged parent. His family was four sons and four daught ers, six of whom are yet living—one son died m the service while a member of Co. E, 100 Regt., Pa. Vol.—and a daughter who died young—The other six were all present at this surprise, not having been home atone time for some twenty years. They foumd the old gentleman comforta ble but very feeble and very much bowed down with age, but still may enjoy a few birthday visits yet. He has twenty-four grand children living, several of ihem scattered over the West, and twenty-six great grand children living and several dead. The day was pleasant and we think was enjoyed by all present, and especially the dinner which is always enjoyed when gotten up at a home gathering where peace and brotherly love abounds. After a good many disensions on family history ana other topics of the day, we left for our homes regreting that the day was not much longer. A Saxon Station and Vicinity.

THE storm which destroyed the town of Cisco, Tex.. Saturday night was one of pe culiar violence. The community number ed about two thousand, and not less than 250 buildings are reported in ruins, with very heavy loss of life. The largest and most substantial structures were demol ished as completely as those of less stabili ty and strength. The storm approached the town from two directions, southwest and northwest, and seamed to expend its greatest fury over the ill fated town. Its track showed a wide swath two miles west and three miles east of Cisco and its work was both swift and terrible. A large pro portion of those buried in the ruins or caught up in the vortex are said to be fa tally injured. Hundreds of people were left without food or shelter and appeals for aid have been sett forth to the nearest points and are being promptly responded to.
