WASHINGTON, August 6.-There is
nothing 'goiny on" here, except the
Potomac River, and that is very slug.
gllsh. New York has become tempora-
rily the political centre, and Washing.

but further than this nothing is doing
in National politics.

the stalwart people was unquestionably
for Blaine. The numerous County
Conventions and the decided stand
they have taken against that obnoxious
measure, confirms that opinion, and
this canvass of the State furnishes ad-
ditional proof. 1t is no fanciful imagin-
alton, it is not the wish father to the
thought, or the result of any species of
but it is fixed reality, a
solid, stubborn fact, that the old Key
stone State says in words that can not
be mistaken, that in their opinion the
man who above all others will receive
their cordial support is Senator James
G. Blaine If, therefore, the So votes
are given as the people would have
them, they will be placed in the Blaine
column on every ballot Anything
short of this will be most palpable
perversion of their desires, and instead
of representing their honest opinions,
will be monopolized by machine politi-
clans to mean precisely the opposite of
the popularity expressed will. The fact
has been abundantly demonstrated that
the sentiment of the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans is unit for Blaine West
Chester Republican.

Tnmblinq Building.

NEW YORK, April 22.-An alarm
went through the city shortly before
10 O'Clock last night that the roof of
the Madison Square Garden had fallen,
and several persons had been killed or
injured by the accident. 1t was soon
learned that the entire wall on Madl-
son avenue had fallen outward, cover
ing several persons on the sidewalk.
A part of the roof had also fallen in
burying beneath it a number of per-
sons. The garden was crowded with
visitors of the grand fair in aid OF
Hahneman Hospital The fair had
already been in progress several days,
and the building was filed with costly
works of art and with articles of vari-
Gus sorts, which had been donated for
sale The front part of the garden,
where the accident occurred, had been
greatly changed in appearance on ac.
count of the fair. A space more than
ffty feet in width had been partitioned
off. and by means of floor had been
made into two stories, the lower one
being used for Offices, reception hall
and restaurant, and the upper story for
dancing hall and art gallery.
The cause of the accident is sup
posed to be the pressure of the floor Of
the dancing hall and art gallery upon
the wall which supported it. Both
these rooms were filed with people at
an early hour Suddenly it was no.
ticed that the floor of the art gallery
was cracking, and Albert Mckay,
manager of the fair, was summoned to
the place. He mounted the stairs
leading to the art gallery, and noticed
that the room was filled hladies
and gentlemen. Detective Lilly, who
had been employed to watch valuable
pictures in the room, informed him
that the walls were cracking in some
places, and that there was danger OF
the floor giving away. Mckay sent a
man to turn off the gas in that part OF
the building and called out to persons
near him to leave the gallery as quickly
as possible. His manner Of speaking
caused most of the persons in the room
to step out on q broad landing which
overlooks the main part of the garden.
The dancing hall on the same floor was
still full of people. Before they could
be warned of the approaching danger
succession of loud reports was heard,
and the front wall suddenly fell out
into the street A large part of the
roof which had been supported by the
wall, Immediately fell in upon the
heads of the frightened dancers, bury
ing many of them out of sight. Screams
and groans were heard on every side,
and a panic followed. A moment after
the accident the floor of the dancing
room settled and there was a general
stampede out upon the landing and
down the staircase to the main part of
the garden. Those who We're out of
danger when the roof feel rushed for
ward toward tie front of the building
and greatly impeded those who were
trying to escape outside the building.
