BIG FIRE ATFYRONE.

BIG FIRE ATTYRONE.
At three O'Clock on Wednesday NOR
ming, July 7th a fire broke out in the
stable of the City Hotel, Tyrone, and
spread rapidly to the adjoining build
ingS. The fire department was unable
TO cope with the flames, and in a short
time the Tyrone Bank building, Blair
County Bank building, City Hotel,
both printing offices and about fifteen
other business places, postoffice, six
private dwelling houses, together with
nine horses in stable Of City Hotel,
with a number of wagons and carriages
had been destroyed. The fire is sup
posed to have been the work of an in
cendiary. Many of the buildings
burned are insured, but the amoant
is not stated. The loss is estimated at
S16e,0OO.
The Democratic ratification meet
ing on Saturday evening was the first of
its kind ever held in Millheim that we
know of, and shows that the enthusi-
asm for Hancock & English are impre-
cedented and unbounded, and this is
! really the case everywhere, all over the
land. The signs are multiplying on
every hand that the Democratic call
| lidates will be elected by the greatest
| popular majority ever cast for any men.
The meeting itself was well attended
and enthusiastic. Able and spirited
addresses were delivered by w. &.
Helnle. Esq, and %. f. Fortney, Esq.
A few wel!=timed remarks by Major
Forster Wese lesp6nded to by three
cheers for Hancock & English, given
with a will, after which the meeting
adjourned. The band did its level
best, everything passed off pleasantly,
everybody WAS satisfied and happy
everybody for Hancock 4 English.

The following item which We clip
from the Bellefonte Morning News
shows that the beautiful and once SO
thrifty town of Lock Haven is again
looming up pretty briskly and is max
( ing rapid strides toward her former
prosperity. But how we do wish that
we could write something in the same
vein about Millheim. Could we not
get up good woolen factory, hat far-
tory, axe factory, big tannery, or
something in the manufacturing line
| Of course we could.
Lock Hsgen Matters.
Lock Haven is quite busy place
this summer compared with what It
has been during the past six or seven
years. Kisler's large tannery, which
was burned last spring, is almost en-
tlrely rebuilt and the machinery has
been in operation for some time; the
furniture factory, q new enterprise Of
moderate dimensions, Is about ready to
begin work; the building of the extern
sive pulp factory is goiug on rapidly;
the machine shops and other establish
ed industries are enjoying good run
of patronage, and all together give en-
ployment to all the machanics and la
borers who live i'm the blace.
This augurs well for the future of
Lock Haven. The citizens having been
aroused to sense of their duty are
moving in earnest to induce capitalists
to invest here, and the probability is
they will not stop with what they have
already secured.
The energy of Mr.. William Kisler;
proprietor of the tannery above referred
to, and of MIR. Dixon, of the pulp mill
firm, is worthy OF being studied by
those of Loek Haven's citizens who
have money but are afraid to invest it
in anything but government bonds, or
in some other way that is of no ben
eft to the community and but little to
themselves.
