TO make room for Sam Barr, the faithful
hencI,man of the Camerons, father and
son. lie stands for CamerOnism and
nothing else, and his nomination is an af.
front to the more intelligent and inde-
pendent element of the party in the dis
trict, The Democrats are talking about
running Grant Weidman, Of Lebanon,
the most popular and strongest Democrat
in the district, and if they do he can make
it warm for Mr.. Barr, if not utterly de-
feat him.
Under the inspiration of lively DEM

poll majority which may fairly offset
revOlutionized Lebanon and Dauphin.
The people of these two counties have
long been restless under the Cameron
yoke, and they never had a better chance
to throw it off than offers in the presen-
tation of Barr for Congress. TO accoul-
plish this, however, there must be en-
tirely fair dealing and solidity of
strength and purpose in the Democratic
organization. That there will be we

TIE BURNED STEAMER.

Lives Lost by the Marine City Disaster.
The wreck of the steamer Marine City
has floated ashore at Detroit. but is
burned to the waters edge. The latest
statements are that the steamers books
and papers were lost SO that the work Of
ascertaining just who were lost and how
many will be a work Of some difficulty.
1t is estemated that 12O passengers and
4 crew of 40 were on board. About 100
arc reported to have been saved. The
rest, it is feared, are lost. Three bodies
have been recovered but have not yet
been identified. On one of the bodies a
cuff was marked with the name "Wat-
son." The proximity of the steamer to
the life saving station at Sturgeon Point,
the near neighborhood Of the tug Vulcan
and tho fishing tug Grayling, the GOODNESS
of Captain Conner and crew of the burned
steamer, and the fact that i: was daylight
at the time of the disaster, all aided in rem
dering the loss of life com paratiycly small.

An Electric Light Phenomcnon

Sixth avenue In front of tho St.
Omer hotel, near Twenty third street, New
York, is illuminated by an electric light at
night. The lamp is not lit until dark, but the
other day passers-by were astonishcd at
seeing tho light burning with unwont cd
brilliancy at 6 o'clock in the evening. The
illumination lasted for about two minutes
and then died away. No ono was more
surprised than Mr.. Carpenter, proprietor
company that supplied the lamp to asccr-
tain the cause. No power had been con-
nectcd, and tho only apparent explanation
was that the copper wire connecting the
carbOns had been struck by the lightning,
rs tho illumination was seen directly after
a sharp flash. The engineer of tho cleo
trio lighting company says that this was
undoubtedly the case, and that the lamp
burned rs Ion: rs the electricity lasted.
