TIE SCRANTON TRAGEDY.

Seventeen boys and girls dead That is the
sad sum total of the fire at Scranton, Penn
No that was not all The little victims were
Orphans; wards of a public institution; the
objects, it was supposed, of particular reilg-
ious care. They had been deprived OF parental
protection. They were as poor as possible.
Nobody can conceive of children in more
helpless condition. And now they are dead.
Dead through the fault of somebody if only
that somebody could be found out. hut all so
far is O mystery. If these poor little ones had
died in one house of diphtheria OF smallpox or
cholera, and all in one night, it would have
been considered most astonishing and heart
rending circumstance The doctors ana the
medical journals would have taken the matter
up. 1t would have possessed scientific interest.
Now, alas! this world has got to be so ac-
customed to sacrifices of human life that they
excite little attention. A railway accident,
though fatal to hundred, is fOl gotten in a
week. The bursting of steamboat boiler
which scalds scores to death; n railway collision
which kills by wholesale; the falling of a
building which burics dozens under the ruins =
incidents of this kind usually get soon discussed
to social safety in these days. We must have
dance OF death with entirely new figures, or we
pay little or 40 attention to it.
Still, there is something peculiar about a
casualty of which the victims are all children,
and orphans Mt that. Where is the particular
human tenderness which is supposed to keep
sncca watch and ward over these little ones 1t
is yigilant and conscientious in private homes
why should 1t not be infinitely more so, when
the boys ana girls are brought together IN
masses, so that the aggregate of personal dan
ger is multiplied At Scranton there were
forty children in the Asylum. What might
come of fatality TO one was likely to come O all
the forty. Why should there not have been
forty times the usual watchfulness' viii any
body tell us why the dOrmitOres should have
been locked7 Why should not the children
have been furnished with ample means OF
egress2 Were they left alone locked up all
nightl The origin Of the fire is past guess
work even but why should 1t be sol
We really cannot tel why different rules OF
morality are applied to things which are SUBJ
siantallv alike. IL n man through carelessness,
foolhardiness, or to back mp bravado, loses his
life, ho IA thought to be no better than suicide
If he thus causes the death OF single person,
he is deemed guilty of homicide in a greater or
less degree. After the slaughter of the Six
Hundred, all that Tennyson or anybody else
could say was "SOme one had blundeIed."
Well, somebody must have blundered at Scran-
ton. It might have been months or even years
ago when the edfce was erected. 1t might have
been only last Sunday. There will be inyesti-
cations, doubtless, but they never amount to
much. What We really want is more sacred
and solemn sense of the value of human life.
At present it appears 10 be held very cheaply.

Yesterday the President-elect left his rural
home in Ohio and started for Washington
His departure was as quiet an affair as that
of any plain citizen starting with his family
upon a Journey, save for the fact that throng
of country people gathered at the railway
station to see their friend and neighbor OIL
The train, running by way of AshtabuIa'
Pittsburg, Harrisburg and Baltimore, will reach
Washington this forenoon. OF course there
were speeches on the way. for no President
elect ever gets to the Capital without feeling
compelled to say something to the crowds
assembled to greet him at the principal points
on his line of travel, and of course whatever
General Garfield saw fit to say was thought
full, earnest and in good taste. The public,
remembering how admirably he bore himself
through the trying ordeal of the campaign,
would be greatly surprised now if he should
make any false step. Confidence III his
ability to fill the very large measure of OK
pectation is strong and universal He goes to
the White House better equipped for bis new
duties than any President we have had IN
recent times. Even his political opponents are
compelled to predict that he will make
remarkably successful Administration.

mittees appointed and are ready for business

Indeed, if the whole Board should get lost in

Hall the average citizen would not feel any
poignant sense of calamity.

An Explosion in Meriden

An Explosion in Meriden.
 On Saturday morning about o'clock an explosion occurred at Foster, Merriam & Go. s in Meriden. It was caused by the cast iron elbow of the feed pipe bursting The engineer and fireman were suddenly shocked by the explosion, which was heard all over Colony street, and as far as the MaIleable Iron works, half mile distant The
 hole in the elbow was about twelve inches, one side of the iron being carried away It tore the brick from the blower room,
 and carried them distance of two hundred feet, striking 8 roof of a distant build ing with force and slightly shattering the tin roof of another building close by Women living in the flats south of the fac tory were bespattered, mortar and debris hav- ing been carried to their rooms. Two boys
 employed in the factory, named Leary and Doran were passing at the time, and re- ceived a bath of powdered brick and mortar from the shattered building that gave them
 an unsightly appearance The Leary boy
 was thrown down and scalded slightly about
 the neck, and Doran was carried of his feet
 distance of thirty or forty feet Both
 boys, it need not be said, were thoroughly
 frightened, and the workmen thought they
 been killed or badly injured, but hap

 the windows was badly shattered in the blower
 and engine rooms and adjoining buildings, all
 the glass being carried away piece of the
 glass struck MT. Ryan, the fireman, on the
 back of the hand, but it produced only a
 slight cut. The accident is supposed to have
 been caused by the exhausted steam meeting the cold water at the elbow of the feed pipe,
 owing to the drips not being open. In ten
 minutes after the explosion, a number of
 men from the Malleable Iron Go. were on the spot, believing that fatal results must have
 been produced
