SIMON CAMERON' IS NO MORE. Death Comes to Pennsylvania's Great Politician* A dispatch from Lancaster, Pa., says : General Cameron is dead. Death came sud denly from a weak spell. Up to the last at- I tack lie was eoiis' imis and hud no trouble to swallow the food jriven him and which he ap nea red to assimilate. Around the death ! bed were ex Attorney General MoVengh and wife. Mrs. lluldeman, James I aireron, Simon 11. Canicioii and wife, and .M s. David Watts, a granddaughter. Simon Cameron, who was for over half a •rntury identified in the eye-, of the eiuntry with Pennsylvania politics, began life as a poor boy, and was mainly indebted to his own efforts or his early education. He was j horn at Lancaster, Pa., on the Bth of Mai -h. ILett un orphan when but nineyearc | of age, he was early apprenticed to the print- , ing business and gained the chief part of his education within the walls of a newspaper office, first in Harrisburg, Pa .and afterward ut. Washington, D. C. At the age of twenty one lie became editor of u paper ut Doyies town. Pa., the Pennsylvania Intelligencer. Two years later he had transferred his edi torial ability to the service of a paper ut Har risburg. He warmly espoused the cause of General Jackson when the latter was nomi nated for the Presidency. His business abil ity had fully developed itself, and within a few years he was known us one of the ablest financiers of the State. Ho established the i Middlctown Bank, becoming its president. 1 He was appointed Adjutant General of the state, and in 1845 he was elected to the United States Senate for four years, to till the vacancy caused by the resignation of 1 Mr. Buchanan. At this time, still a democrat, he voted for the war with Mexico and for the proposition to extend the Missouri compro mise line to the Pin ific The repeal of that compromise in 1854, and the lawless and ' bloody struggle to force slavery upon Kansas, laade him a sincerp and earnest member of the new free soil party, and as such ho uphold and voted for Freemont in 1850. In 1857 he was re-elected to the United States Senate. When the year 1800 arrived Mr. Cameron was named as one of the prominent candidates for the Presidency. In the Chicago Convention he stood third on the first ballot. Before the second ballot he , witlidrow, and his friends cast their votes for Mr. Lincoln. On Mr Lincoln's entrance upon the active | duties of his office, March 4, 1801, lie nom inated Mr. Camoronns Secretary of War. Mr. Cameron accepted, resigning his position in the Senate to take charge of the War Depart ment. He was the first officer of the Govern- j incut to recognize slavery as the real enemy and assailant of the nation's life, and to recommend in December, 18(11, that the war should be fought out by the destruction of slavery. Mr. Cameron resigned his position in the Cabinet in January, 1802, being succeeded 1 l>y Mr. Stanton. Mr. Cameron was appoint ed Minister to the Russian Court, but re maiticd only until November of the same year. He was a delegate to the Baltimore Convention in 1804, by which Mr. Lincoln una renominated for the Presidency, and in i 1800 to what is known in history as the " Sou ( hern Loyalists' Convention, held in J Philadelphia, with n view to bring about more amicable feelings among the reunited States. In 1807 he took his sent for u third term in tlie Senate of the United States. In 1871 he was ; pointed chuirinunof the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs to succeed Mr. Charles Sumner, mid made an exceedingly efficient ami satisfactory record in tlmt capacity. On the expiration of his term as Senator, in 1878, lie was re-elected for a fourth term of service. Mr. Cameron resigned his scat In the Senate in March, 1877, and his son "Don" Cameron was elected by the Pennsylvania Legislature to till the vacancy. The estate of General Cameron is said to lie worth from 81.000.000 to 81.500,000. There are eight heirs in the regular line ol inheritance. These are Cnited States Senator J Donald Cameron, the wife of ex-United States Attorney General Wayne MucVeagh j and Mrs. Richard Ilnldeman, who are tin General's children, and five grandchildren. UNFORTUNATE JOHNSTOWN. Twcnty-flvo Houses Rtirncrl, Includ ing t lie Large Briek School House. A fire broke out in the First ward at Johns town. The flames spread rapidly, ami con sumed all hut. three of the buildings in Mio I district bounded by Market and Walnut streets and by Main street and the river. Twenty-five houses were totally destroyed, including the largo brick school house. Many of the buildings destroyed had been washed from their foundation, though in any of them contained household goods which had been sated from the flood, lint a small amount of f .ese goods was saved. The fire is supposed to have originat ed from sparks flying from the burning debris in the neighborhood. The Philadel phia file companies fought Ihe flames, which ; for a liino got beyond thoir control, and j were only subdued by tearing down houses i )ii their path. The loss has not yet been ' fixed. Notwithstanding that the forre of work men employed hi the ruins was reduced nearly one half, a lemarkalde showing was made in the way of clearing up the wreckage. Due heavy blast followed another in the debris j above tho railroad bridge, and Manager Phi.lifts, who has chargs of the work, says he will have the place cleared up in a few days. The various workiugmcn's camps wore thoroughly renovated in accord- i once with the request of Surgeon General Reed, ami all tho superfluous | straw and garbage about the camps were burned. The workmen who will remain here were moved into the choicest quarters. Tho tents now occupied by the discharged men will he taken down by u sqund of soldiers. A charge of dynamite exploded near the second arch from the east cud of the bridge. From tho grout body of wreckage, tossed in the air, pieces of human bodies flew in all di* I rections, and the remnants ufterward gather- 1 ed together indicated that ut least six corpses had been blown up. They were doubtless all close together near where tho dynamite was discharged. Much of the drift which tins been dislodged from the stone bridge has lodged in various places, extending as far below as ('oonersdalo. In some places the channel of the Conem'iugh Hiver is narrowed to a few feet ultd turned from its former course. A force of men was put to work removing these obstructions, which liave rendered useless a great part of the work at the bridge. It is thought the stream below tho big drift will hereafter be kept, open, so that debris, onco started down the river, wiil pass down without Interruption. PLUNGED OFF THE BRIDGE. Terrible Collision of Freight Trains i A terrible collision of freight trains occurred ! near Latroho, Pa., forty miles east of Pitts i burg, on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Thirty curs were wrecked, mid it, is believed thirty or forty people were killed Freight t ruin &OH, west bound, left Latrobc and had just reach ed the bridge, about fifty yards west of tbut place, when it collided with an extra freight coming in the opposite direction. Another east-hound freight was standing on a side truck on the bridge, and tho wrecked trains crushed against it, causing one locomotive and a lot of cars to go over into the creek, a distance of fifty feet. Engineer Caldwell and his fireman are sup ! nosed to have been killed instantly. Their bodies are still in the creek. The bodies ol several trumps were taken fro in the wreck. There was nothing about their clothes to identify them. They were stealing a ride and were coining West. Thirty-one cars went down over the bridge, mid are piled one upon the other ill the water. The conductor of the freight says that in all probability thirty or forty men are still un uer the wreck, as ho put off at Dnrry station about thirty-five men, who were laborers re turning from Johnstown He says that, when ho moved out n great many of them got on again, and in that case it is more than likely that Mle killed will reach the number given. A car lond of lime in the centro of the train was tho Inst to go down, iiml it was scattered over the pile of shattered cars. Then the dehrfs took fire, and, not withstanding the efforts of the people to put 1 out the flame, it is still burning. Arms and legs of the victims can bo seen protruding ! from the debris. Ten bodies have been re covered. Not. to bo Annexed. In the House of Lords the Marquis orSalis bury denied that any of the gloat Powers contemplated the annexation of the Island of Greta.

HAYES DEAD. She Passes Away Quietly, Surround- | <ml by Her Family and Friends. Mrs. Hayes died ut Fremont, Ohio. A1 hope of Mrs. Hayes' recovery was given up and the sorrowing family sadly awaited the summous of the grim messenger at the bed side of the dying woman. She remained un conscious up to the time of her death, All night long the sorrowing family watched around the bedside. Mrs. Hayes lay motion less, and but for the faint breathing and the weak fluttering of the pulse there was no signs of life. The anxious watchers, waiting only lor the inevitable end, were bowed with grief and scarcely a word was spoken the long night through. The physicians kept in the background and the family were alone with their loved one. lu vain they hoped for a slight rally that might come before deal h, so t hat she could recognise and speak to them. As morning dawned the hold on life grew weaker and weaker, and finally the spirt took flight. In a voice choked with grief the physician announced that the end had come, mid the family's long vigil closed in prostration and grief. General llnyes ami his four grown sons—Bui chard, Webb. Bud and Scott—were deeply affected, while Fanny is nearly prostrated with grief and her long j sleepless watch at her mother's bedside. The family and Mrs. J. G. Mitchell, Mrs. It. AV. lluiituigton, Miss Lucy Keeler, Mrs A. 11. Miller, (lie nurses and physicians were nt ! the bedside. Tho family were overcome with j grief. J Mrs. Hayes was loved and honored by all; she was foremost in all charitable works anil always lent a helping hntrll to the poor and needy. She had great consideration for the convenience and feelings of others and made , frequent calls on the poor of Fremont, assist ing them in different ways. General and Mrs. llnyes often threw their doors open to tho I public, and when Mrs. Hayes was stricken J down carpenters were nt work enlarging their residence so that friends could be better ! entertained. Mrs. Lucy Ware Webb Hayes was born at, Chiiicothe. Ohio, in 1838. Her father, Dr. Webb, a physician of that city, died in 1843, leaving to his widow their daughter Lucy and two sons. The acquaintance between Mr. and Mrs. Hays began when they were j very young children and they hud a childish ' romance of love. But tho Huyes family removed toDelaware,andthencquaint | nnee became but a memory. Years later (lie i Widow Webb moved to Delaware to place her two sons in Wesley an College, while Lucy was sent to the Wesley mi Academy in Cincin nati. Young Hayes had by this time become n lawyer, and as soon us he secured a client he thought of seeking a life partner. This thought brought to his memory his boyhood love. Ho sought Miss Webb and renewed the acquaintance. This soon developed into lore, cngugctncnr and marriage, which latter occurred December 30, 1852. Their homo was blessed with eight children,of whom four sons and ft daughter ure now living. When patriotism took her husband to the field to offer his life for the nation, Mrs. Hayes be came prominent by nursing sick and wound ed soldiers nud in all the benevolent work which the war threw upon American women. During Mr. Hayes'incumbency of the Presi dency she occasioned much comment by the practical way jn which she manifested her devotion to total abstinence principles. Con trary to the till t hen invariable custom, no wine was offered to tho guests of the White House. She was universally esteemed a j woman of line mental powers and of more than ordinary energy and determination in matters iuvolving questions of morals. She was born on August 28,1831. Since President Hayes' retirement from office Mre. Hayes has been living quietly at her homo in Fremont. On March 8, 1881, a few days nfter she had vacated the White House, a portrait of Mrs. Hayes, painted b,v Huntington for the National Women's Chris tian Temperance Union, w :is presented to the notion and unvniled in the famous East Room of the Executive Mansion. It hangs in the first panel on the east wall next to the panel occupied by tho portrait of Martha Washington. Mrs. Hayes' well kmwn earnestness of conviction with regard to the subject of tem perance was inherited from her maternal grandfather. The inherent feeling was fos tered throughout her school duvs, both dur ing the six years of her education in Dela ware. while her two brothers were college students there, and later in the Wesleyan Fe male Seminary in Cincinnati, where she euto pic. '■:! her school course and was graduated. To her deep and inborn conviction it was her nature to be true through all the circum stances of her life. This high loyalty shaped, simply and naturally, and therefore con sistently. through all her years the ways of her homo life, the manner of her hospitalities and her custom in society, while she moved through tliein all as the wife of a private cit izen. and during the twenty years of her hus band's public life as a Union general, a mem ber of Congress, a Governor of her native Stato and a President of the United States. CAN ADA THRI3 \ T ENS. Sir John McDonald Thinks the Sit uation Very Critical. The Cabinet nt Ottawa is in daily session one of tho most important measures under consideration being the proposal to retaliate against, the United States authorities by withdrawing the bonding privilege in the for warding ol goods from one United States port to another United States port through Canada. This has been brought about by the action of the authorities ut Washington re fusing to allow the transmission of goods from one Canadian port tounotherCnnadinn port in bond through Maine by the now short line railway. Officials are busily engaged as rertninihg the probable result of such legis lation. The abrogation of the bonding priv ilege would seriously affect, traffic over the Canada Southern, the Canadian PucitSc, and the Canadian canals. Four hundred and thirty-seven thousand tons of United States freight pnssed through the Welland and St. Lawrence Cnnnlsin bond hist year, or twenty six per rent, of thetotnl traffic going through. Sir John Mnedonuld says the situation is more critical than it ever was be/ore. MINISTER TO GERMANY. TliO President Appoints William Walter Plielps. Tho President appointed William Waltei Phelps, of Now Jersey, to lie Envoy Extraor dinary ami Minister Plenipotentiary of t lie United States to Germany. Mr. Phelps received Ids appointment, from the President's own hands, with the remark that, it was his ' reward, which naturally was highly gratify ing to the recipient. Going over to the Department, of State, his commission wat immediately made out and he qualified ne United States Minister to Germany. Mr Phelps will not proceed to his new post for some time, but leeling that lie has earned a rest, and needing time for the adjustment, of his private business, will go to his home id New Jersey in a day or two. NO AMERICA'S CUP U 108, Tho Royal Yacht Squadron Won't Accept the New Deed of Gift. The Royal Yacht Squadron met in London and adopted a resolution declaring it iin possible to accept the new deed of gift of the America Cup. This positive refusal to accept the new deed of gift will upset the calculations of many I yachtsmen who have been holding on to the ideu that the ra.ee couldn't possibly fall through after Lord Dunraven's Inst letter. There is no eluiitfro whatever that the new deed of gift will be altered. The Valkyrie j will come overtiore, however, and try her j speed foi several minor cups.

A thin visagod man, with clear gray eyes that peer steadily from beneath tho broad brim of a white felt hat, a slender form clad in a quiet suit of black, with a Princo Albert coat buttoned tightly across his breast, a man who rarely speaks, but signals to the pool auctioneer, or throws his money down to tho bookmaker with a monosyllabic direction as to its disposition, was n regular attendant upon tho quarter stretch at the race track during tlio late races, yet ho was recognized by only a very few as tho one time redoubtable bandit and train robber, Frank James, the last of a gang which held the banks and express companies of the entire West in a state of terrorism for twenty years. Frank James always had a weak ness for horseflesh. In the very heydey of his desperate crimes ho would risk his life to come out of tho bush and at tend a horse race. When he was in hiding near Nashville, Tenn., after the Gallatin robbery, he owed several race horses which lie sent to the St. Louis races at Cote Brilliante track, under au assumed name, of course. He is now a clerk in a Dallas (Texas) shoe store, but as a matter of fact he does little else but follow the races. His judgment is good, and ho came from Memphis, Nashville, Louisville and Latonia considerably ahead of the horses.—[St. Louis Star Sayings. June the Railway Wedding Month. June is the month when tho Erie Railroad does a great wedding trip busi ness, and it is a rare thing that one of tho express trains with their sumptuous Pullman ars attached make a start for Niagara Falls in June that at least one couple is not on board. Tho writer, while going West a night or two ago by the Erie, saw a couple who appeared to be lost in the pleasure of each other's company, and remembering it was June, the idea of a bride and groom suggested itself. When the conductor came through Improved to be an old acquaint ance and the writer said to him: "Jim, is that a honeymoon over there*" Jim laughed and replied: "Oh, that's noth ing. I have them up with me every night, and expect to all summer." "Niagara Falls, Jim?" "Oil, sure, they all go there. I never saw such a road for welding parties." Then ho went on to say that ho supposed they liked the Erie because it ran through a country full of mountains, rivers and streams, and that added to the romance; besides, the Erie road and Niagara Falls have so long been associated with each other that travelers regarded them as one in htitution. —[Now York Sun. Consumption of Rico. Rico is, no doubt, the most exten- | sivoly used article of food the world over. Hundreds of millions of people chiefly subsist on it, and its consumption is constantly increasing. It is tho ' principle diet of at least one-third of tho ! human race, forming tho chief food of the native populations of India, China, Japan, Madagascar, many parts of Africa, and, in fact, of almost all East ern nations. The Burmese and Siamese are the greatest consumers of it. A Malay laborer gets through lifty-six pounds monthly; a Burmese or Siamese forty-six pounds in tho same period. Tho Eastorn nations also chiefly obtain their beverages from rice, which is the principal grain distilled in Siam, Japan and China. Saki, or rice beer, is produced in Japan to the extent of 150,000,000 gallons annually. Al j though rice is such a universal article of j food, it is not so nourishing as wheat or I some other grains. Moro than nine- j j tenths of its substance consists of starch and water; consequently it forms more I I fat than muscle. How a Monkey Showed Remorse. While a pair of monkeys were giving a concert on Main street,"in Carbondale, I Penn., to a crowd of youngsters and two 1 inebriated countrymen, one of the men j gave the monkey a cent, for which ii ! doffed its cap jauntily. Then tho couii- ! try men teased the little animal until nl last it buried its teetli in the man's fin ger to the bono. When the blood gush ed from tho wound tho monkey looked regretfully at tho finger, then into the man's face, and handed back his money. No amount of persuasion would induce the penitent animal to again accept the coin, though it was repeatedly offered, and though ho accepted money from others all around him.—[Chicago Her aid.
