Fire ~atfIrwfns.

A very destructive FIRE occurred
at Twins Station, on the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, about % miles from
the city, yesterday morning. The
fire was first discovered in a billiard
saloon in the basement of Jacob
Goehring's building, located in the
centre of the frame block on Main
street, in the southwest portion of the
town, The flames spread with fear
full rapidly, and for a time it was
apprebended that nearly the entire
town would be destroyed, but they
were gotten under control after four
teen buildings had been destroyed.
A telegram was sent 60 this city
for assistance, and Assistant Chief
Evans Immediately sent two steam
ers to the Union Depot, where a
special train was shortly ready to
take them out. they did not go,
however, as in a short time a dis
patch was received stating that the
fire was under control, and the engines
would not be needed. The fire con-
'tihued for about two hours, and to
stop its progress it was found neces-
sary to blow up a couple of buildings
with powder.
OF the fourteen buildings destroy
ed, ten were stores. The loss
amounts to fully $50, 900, most of
which was insured.-PdHs6urgh a.

fifteen years they have been running
wildly hitler and thitber, in search
of a leader. Every few years some
body has come forward and tender
ed bis services as q leader, but only
to demonstrate his utter incapacity
for the position. Mcclellan, Sey-
mour, Pendleton, Thurman, Hen
driks, old Bill Allen, and last of all,
Sam Tilden, have proved failures III
the role of Democratic Noses. The
failure of Tilden leaves the headless
Democracy worse off than ever be-
fore. Its physical organism, its
nervous system, its mental and NOR
al structure $50 far as it has any
are all torn up. Its condition is Il
that realizes the chaos more CON-
pletely than anything else that has
lately appeared.
Six short months ago. Tilden
seemed to be the most promising Mo-
ses the headless old body had found
since it became an aimless, scattered
and disentegrated crowd o. wander
ers, without q reason TO be. His
vigorous and probably honest blows
against the famous Tsmmany ring
sent him up like a rocket to the chair
of Governor. His too palpable in
triguing for a higher fight sent him
down like q stick, and proved that
he, like the rest, is not of that stuff of
which political Moseses are made.
For the tournament of 1876 Sam
Tilden is out of the field, and the
headless old corpse has no n to put
forward in his place who can bring
them any reasonable hope of success.
