properly anchored wife. Hazer would
have been cashiered long ago but for
Mrs. Hazen; for they could not have
avoided dismissing him if he had ever
been court-marshaled for running away
at the battle of Shiloh. General Miles
would have had no chance whatever Of
getting his stars but for the good wife,
and General Ord would have come home
to a useless and melancholy old age but
for his daughter. Now the old hero
has a career opened to him which
he has the vigor to make con-
spicuous and useful. Mexico is
going to attract a great deal of the
worlds attention in the coming years,
and we know no place were an energetic
life is likely to be better rewarded.
Political affairs seem to lie now settled
there and every opportunity is ready to
Ike afforded to the effort of capital and
enterprise. And there is reason to
foresee in the early future of our own
country such serious disturbance of its
industry, through political convulsion, as
will send many Of its people over into
Mexico in search of a quiet as we'll as
profitable life.

Samuel Way, colored, the Oldest resi-.
dent of the borough, died last Fridey
evening. He was born in the old house
that stood near the southeastern borough
limits, on June 3, 1884, and was, therefore,
sc years 6 month and days old at
the time Of his death. For many years he
was known as old Sam Way, and the few
citizens who have attained their three score
and ten, have been at variance as to how
old he was. Harry Lindemuth, {; grand
son of the gentleman who bought Sam
when an infant for three bushels of wheat,
has bible in which is recorded the date
of his birth. He always lived in this
neighborhood, working among the farmers
until some time ago, when he was disabled
by cancer of the stomach which terminated
in his death. He was four times married
and was tho father of seven children, now
all dead. He was buried in the cemetery.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Mechanics Lien Law.

In the case of tho Watsontown planning
mill company VS.. James 3. and Rebecca
Henderson, rule to show cause why amend
ment to mechanics lien should not be
struck of, it has been incorrectly reported
that the court had discharged the rule.
The court has made the rule absolute and
disallOwed the attempted amendment. Il
will be remembered that the act of June
II, 1879, authorized and required courts to
permit amendments "cOnducjvc to JUS
tice" to be made, in any stage of the
proceedings, in case of "any mechanics
claim or lien filed according to existing
laws In the above case the lien was
filed in March, 1879, and the amendments
sought to be made by virtue of the law
passed in June. The question involved
was whether the language of the act re-
ferred to liens filed prior to its passage or
only those subsequently filed. The lower
courts were divided. Common pleas
judges in Mercer and Philadelphia held
that it was notnot retroactive ; Pittsburgh
and other Philadelphia judges held it to be
retroactive. The supreme court, in an
opinion written by Judge Turnkey, held
that it was not retroactive, and accord
ingly our court struck Off IN amendment
which was sought to be made to the lien
filed before the passage Of the act permit
ting such amendment.

SWEPT BY FIRE.
Tho business Part OF PonsacO
RfrnyAA

Tho business Part OF Pensacola de-
strOyed
A disastrous fire burned for eight hours
in Pensacola last Friday night. Five blocks
in the heart of the city were burned, in
volving 4 loss of over half million dollars,
possibly three-quartcrs of a million dollars.
Palafox street, from Wittich's corner to
the middle Of the block opposite the plaza,
is swept clean. The fire stopped on Coy
ernment street at the City hotel east, and
one square back of the custom house west.
Over one hundred establishments are
gone, embracing the main business
buildings and turned. about fifty fam
lilies from their houses. The GUS
tom house, postoffice, Merchants hotel,
Brent's bank, both telegraph offices, both
newspaper Offices, Dunn's Exchange,
Wright's dry goods house, and the county
clerks office, arc among the we'll known
buildings burned. The county clerk,
Larue, for the fifth time in his term OF
Office saved the records, but while the old
hero was doing this his own residence was
burned and his family rendered homeless.
The main steam fire engine was out Of
order, and had to be repaired by . ma
chinist before it would work. At one time
the loss of the railroad depot and adjacent
mills seemed inevitable and locomotives
stood all night, fired up, ready to draw
the company's equipments and other pro-
perty out of town. Much suffering must
enSue.
The loss to merchants is very heavy, as
they have just received their fall stocks.
The calamity is without pecedent in the
history of Pensacola and business is almost
suspended in consequence. BY far the
best portion of the business buildings i'll
the city are in smouldering ruins. There
is not newspaper Office, job Office,
drug store or stationery store lett in
tho city. The Merchants hotel and
the telegraph Offices were also de-
stroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown.
1t began in the building occupied by s.
Damiana rs a confectionery store. The
flames might have been checked sooner,
but the steam engine being out Of repair
was in the machine shop, and this left the
place at the mercy Of the fire. Both the
Gazette and AdUance offices are totally de-
stroycd. Damiana's family resided above
the store and several of them were burned
and Mrs. Damiana will die.

The OLiO ldeu.

II seems to lie almost as good thing
to be married to an Ohio girl rs to be an
Ohio man, when you go to Mr.. Hayes for
Office. General Hazen gets the signal
service generalslip because he married
Wash. McLean's daughter, and General
Miles shoves General Ord out of his
place because his wife is the daughter of
Judge Sherman and the sister of Mrs.
Don Cameron. Neither appointment
ought to have been made, and neither
would have been but for the Ohio wives
and their family influence. General
Miles is first-class soldier, but there
are other good soldiers ahead of him on
the list who We're justly entitled first to
promotion. And General Ord, though
over G. years old and, therefore, sub
ject to retirement, is in excellent physi-
cal and mental condition, fit for any
duty, and did not wish to go out
of active service. He was COM
PEELED to walk the plank, while generals
much Older and more physically i'll
capable are permitted to remain
on the active list. There is Sherman,
himself, who sticks to his soft place, not
withstanLing the hints he has been get
ting to give some other fellow chance
and Mcdowell, of Bull Run memory,
who has never distinguished himself
anywhere but at the dinner table. Gen.
Ord has good reason to complain of his
treatment. and the telegraph announces
that he shook the dust of Texas off his
feet as soon as he received notice of his
retirement. and went over to Mexico,
where his son-in-law, Gen. Trevino, is
secretary of war. We are glad to know
that the fine old general was able to
take advantage of the Ohio idea and
place himself in Mexico under such aus
picious circumstances. A wife, we are
learning to know, is very excellent
family lever. With proper anchorage
she can boost any of her family to an
agreeable elevation. Mr.. Hayes de-

BAYARD,s SPEECH AT DOVER

A Sharp Correspondence With Senator
Conking.
The following statement and tie ap-
pended letter have been furnished for pub
lication
The publication in the Philadelphia
Press, signed by &. A. Arthur, Roscoe
Conkling, George S. Boutwell, and Noah
Davis, dated in New York, Ncv. 29. 1880,
but not published until Dec. II, renders it
proper that the subjoined letters should
also be published. The dates of these let
ters and their contents fully explain them,
and no other correspondence has passed
between any Of the signers of the card
in tho Press and myself. Mir. F. A:
Burr, one of the editors of the Press, had
received in Philadelphia letter from mo
prior to Nov. 90, in which stated the fal-
sity and malice of the report of my speech
at Dover, which had been published in the
Press Of Oct. 90. After the foregoing cor
respOndence, no further statement on my
part was deemed necessary. An interval
of nearly three weeks elapsed before the
parties published the card alluded to, in
which they denounce as false the alleged
report of a speech which weeks before
had stated to be untrue. These facts are
submitted to the judgment of all honorable
men. T. F. BAYAED.

truth. These charges were of unlawful
