who was un orc "i the bone chars, made

no:iscnsical as ever, and the sound Of his
voice is enough to excite the mirth of Il

the company, was conspicuous by his ab-

HORRIBLE FIRE.
EIGHT PERSONS CREMArED.
Mrs. Sloan, Six Children and Her BrOrhi
Roasted at East Liverpool, Ohio.

Roasted at East Liverpool, Ohio.
The fire Of Monday night in the bank
building, East Liverpool, Ohio, destroying
the sleeping apartments over Staley's res
taurant, seems to hare been foretaste OF
the Notwithstanding roasting which was to
follow. Yesterday morning about half
past O'Clock flames were discovered is
suing from the drug store of Sloan Bros.
in Frank Stewards four-story frame build
inc. corner Broadway and Sixth streets,
used by him as feed store and baled hay
warehouse and occupied also by Mr.. Kauf-
man as a grocery. 1t is supposed that
Sloan, being a new, conner to the town, did
not know of the heavy pressure
which comes on at times from the
natural gas. and left it burnin-;
in the drug store, over which
lie was sleeping, with his family Of
wife and seven children. and brother-ir-
law, Mr. Skeels, of Harrison county,
Ohio, and who only arrived in town
on Tuesday to pay them a visit. On dis
covering the flames Mr.. Sloan woke all,
and picking up q little daughter three
years old, told them to follow. The stair
ways were by this time burned away, and
escape by that means cut off. Turning to
the front OF the building he told his wife.
with babe in her arms, and children to fol
low him. and leaped to the ground. The
wife and children were either overcome
10y the flames and sitting fumes from the
drug store. Or failing to get tho children to
jump, preferred death with them. Mr..
Sloan hoped by jumping first to be able to
catch the others and break the force o.:
their fall, and, although breaking his le:;..
in the leap, hobbIed around crying out pit
cously for the others.
The Building was erected last summer
and vas q perfect fire trap, having num-
erous elevators running up through the
fourth floor which opened up an inviting
pathway for the fiery tiend, and nearly
every floor being filled with hay, the flames
spread with trishtful rapidity and in
twenty or thirty minutes the entire struc.
| ture was consumed. The tire;nen by heroic
work, confined the fire to Stewards build
ing and q small adjoining frame residence.
At seven o'clock next morning the ruins
were sufficiently reduced to commence the
search for the bodies, three streams oi
water having poured on them from two
o'clock. Mrs. Sloan was found with her
babe in her arms. and both burned nearly
the bodies O: the other five children, all
having hustled iii OF: corner, and died as
close to the mother rs they could cling.

and probably never knew Of the danger

cultivation of modesty as profitable
virtue. The gentlemen who have been
hanging around the Legislature, begging
to be senators, have reason to consider
whether their ways of seeking office
have been any more wise than decent.
Ii that wild Iristman Oliver had hut
curbed his native impudence aud impet-
uosity. and staid in his iron mill until the
Legislature called him out Of it, he
might have awaited call in vain, but
he would have been richer good deal
in cash and seif-rcspect than lie is now,
though still not a senator.

Mr.. Edward Law, representative from
Phiadclphi,, who voted for NIacVeagh
yesterday and refused to vote for Mitchell
for United States senator, files the follow
ing reasons for his course:
offer as my reasons for voting for
WAYNE MacEeag that I consider that our
future United States senator should pos
sess the following qualifications, Or at the
very least one of them:
''First-That he should not only be
chosen from amongst the purest, ablest
and mosts distinguished citizens of Penn
sylvania, but that his tirmness and
decision OF character should be unGucs-
toned
scccnd-That lie should in the past
have occupied not merely negative but a
hostile attitude. not toward any man or set
of men. but towards the system which has
for years degraded the politics of the state
and which has justly been considered per-

TIE new senator from Pennsylvania
seems to have been born to wear political
honors. All his life he has been vainly
irving to escape them. When he de-
clined longer service in the Legislature,
h. was asked to go 10 the State Senate ::
declining that, he was nominated for
Congress in his absence at the Cen
tennial exposition and without his
knowledge; and HOW when he de-
clines Congress he is sent without
his solicitation 10 tie Senate.
It is the most remarkable illustration of
the thruscing OF llonors upon declining
candidate that we know Of. There is
enough in it to suggest to po liticians the

"My action originally in refusing to be

and q sincere desire to accomplish the
above result. and am therefore unwilling

The mere casual suggestion that the

upon France, for the embargo recently
