Bs@ The correspondents ofthe Harrisburg
Telegraph have recommendations "on the
the brain" There is scarcely an issue but
what there appears one and sometimes two
new names of aspirants for gubernatorial
honors. This Is simply foolish, There are
perhaps half dozen men who have claims
if such thing can be, which we very much
doubt-upon the position, and Who are seri-
ously thought of in that connection by the
people, and the long list of little names which
fills the olumns with stale laudations are
scarcely known or heard of outside of their
own County Conventions and the Pennsylva-
MIA Legislature.

The OIean Fire.

About one o'clock of Tuesday morning the
10th, a fire was discovered issuing from the
building owned by DR. Blake on Main Street
in Olean, occupied as a shoe shop, and the
probabilities are that it caught from want OF
proper care being taken of the fire in the shop.
The wind at the time was blowing gale from
the south and southwest which carried the
fire across vacant lots and on to buildings
several rods distant. AS is usual in such
cases-the fre-engine was frozen up, and the
hose cut, so that the FIRE continued on its
rapid march until the following persons lost
all or nearly all of their large stocks of goods {:

is estimated as being between Sis, 900 and

to be covered by insurance. There is not a
Dry Goods Store left in the place, and but
one or two stores of any kind. H. II. Phelps,

into his Office for the purpose of rescuing some
valuable papers, when part of the building
