RERE&

Between one and two o'clock on
Thursday morning a fire was discover
ed in the barn belonging to Mr.. John
Tetard, in the third ward. The alarm
was given, but, before the fire appar-
atus was oil hand and in working
order, the flames had accomplished
their work. Mr.. Tetard's barn was adj
Joining and attached to that of Mr..
o. S. Newell, and the fire passed rapid
ly to the last mentioned barn, and both
were destroyed. But for the rain
which had fallen and the absence of
any wind, both the dwellings of Te-
tard and Newell would have been in
imminent danger, if not burned. Mr..
Tetard had some hay in his barn, but
his loss is said to be covered by insur-
ance. Mr.. Newell succeeded in re-
moving his cow and chickens, but there
was stored in his barn valuable stoves.
tools, quantity of books. quantity
of coal and other property, so that he
has sustained II loss of about $1,000,
and has no insurance. The fire was
evidently the work of an incendiary.
For some reason the fire companies
we're late in reaching the fire, and
were Of but little use. The steamer
should be adjusted so that it can be
connected with the new hydrants. An
independent hose company, with
proper arrangements to speedily at
tach a hose to the hydrants, in case of
fire, would be a valuable addition to
the fire department.
About noon on Thursday the fire
alarm was again sounded, and grand
rush was made towards the western
part of the city. The excitement
proved to be the burning of the house
occupied by Martin Adamson, just on
the western limits of the city. The
building and most Of the furniture
were entirely consumed. The fire is
supposed to have originated from a
defective fue. The building was in
sured for $500 in the Somers Mutual.
Owing to the bursting of the suction
hose in the morning the steamer was
not taken to this last fire.

II. N. s. PINAFORE.

The charming opera of "Pinafore
was given Friday evening of last week
by j. II. Haverly's unapproachable
company of Juveniles at Kimball's
Opera House. The gallant ship sailed
into this port manned with as fine a
crew of little folks as one would wish to
see, and each member of the troupe,
so well did they all fulfill the require
ments of their respective roles, took
the audience by storm. The ensemble
Of the troupe was surprisingly perfect.
and it seems really remarkable that
the dramatic talent of each individual
member of the company could be
brought to such degree of excellence.
The performance elected the warmest
applause from the opening scene until
the final de71oatenel1t takes placein the
last act, but the climax was reached
when the oft-quoted words "Wh5astu,
never?" was answered by "Well-
hardly ever" The size of the actors
lent piquancy to the scene that was
simply irresistible, and the audience
was cQnYulsed with laughter over the
ludicrous situations, and testified their
hearty appreciation by an encore that
was decidedly stormy. Little Jennie
Dunn as Josephine, who is but eleven
wears of age, was thoroughly conyers-
ant with her part, which she rendered
in charming manner, singing her
score in such melodious tones that give
promise of great things for the future.
Inez Shepard as BtIttercetQo and Daisy
Murdoch as Hebe came I'M for their
share of admiration, and we'll deserved
it. Ernie Murdoch as the MidSbip-
man, Selma Rough as Ralph Rack
stra30 and Willie Newman as Captain
CorcorG91, were all up to the mark, and
were prime favorites with the audi
ence throughout the evening. The
chorus was well drilled, and the
grand march and it's stirring song were
welcome features of the entertain
ment. The juveniles made themselves
an enviable reputation here, and we
hope to hear them again.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
inc the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter Of q century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
FIJI effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use In any quantity.

SECOND DAY.

At 10 O'Clock, not twenty delegates were in
their seats, the gallery was two-thirds full
and the weather warm and sultry. The usual
demonstrations of applause were made asprom-
inent gentlemen came in, and when the ban
ners of the Randall and other political clubs
passed up the aisle.
After brilliant voluntary on the organ, the
military band played various National and
operatic airs. Yankee Doodle alone seemed
to arouse the audience. The Convention was
called to order at 1O.40 A. NJ, when all the
delegates appeared to be onhand Prayer was
offered by the Rev. Dr. Charles Taylor, of the
Scott Street Methodist Episcopal Church,
Covington, KY. He prayed for harmony, and
the yielding of all personal preferences to the
general welfare.
The Chair announced that the first business
in order was the report of the committee on
credentials, and asked if it was ready to re-
port. There was an interval of several mill
uteS before there was any response.
At 1854 a. NJ. Judge Hoadley announced
that the chairman of the credentials commit
tee was not i'll the house, and called Oh the
committee on
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
Mr. Martin, of Delaware, submitted the
report of the committee which had been unan-
imously adopted. 1t recommended J. w.
Stephenson, of Kentucky, for permanent pres
ident, and one vice-president and one secretary
from each State. From South Carolina, Sen-
ator M c. Butler was recommended for vice.
president, and j. R. Abney for secretary.
The committee then recommended that the
secretaries, reading clerks and sergeants-at-
arms of the temporary organization be re-
tanned, and the report concluded as follows
"The committee further report that they have
duly considered the memorial in relation to the
representation of the District of Columbia and
of the Territories and have heard the arguments
of the memorialists and respectfully recommend
the following resolution:
"Resolued That two delegates from the Dis
trict of Columbia and two delegates from each
of the Territories, he admitted to the Conven-
ton, and have right to participate IN debate
and every other right and privilege enjoyed ny
the delegates from the States, excepting only the
right to vote"
When the report had been read, MIR. Young,
of Georgia, as a question of privilege, de-
manded to be permitted to present the report
of the committee Oh credentials.
The Chair said that the report on perma-
nent organization was before the house, and
asked the Conventions will.
Mr.. Martin moved that mis- report be adopt
