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.

In the House of Lords the Marquis orSalis

MRS. 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.

sawed Tlioir Way Out of Jail.
ii dispatch from Bennington, Vt., says:
Elmer ('lough and Will Trimball, in Manches
ter jail awaiting trial for burglary at South
Shaflshnry, escaped by sawing their wn.v out,
through HIP roof with A cose knife. They
had no sooner disappeared than papers mine
from the Governor transferring them to the
Stale prison at Windsor. Clough has escaped
from a Dumber of jails.
Bandit Frank James.
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
