MYsTERIOUs FORCE or POLICE
ABOUT CONkLlNG'S HOTEL.

New YORK, July 5.-The Tribune
says: Many politicians. especially
stalwarts, were at the Fifth Avenue
hotel last night awaiting news. Gen.
Devens, Ewing, Gorham, Castigan and
other were noticed. Hamilton Fish
called on Conkling, remaining long
time. G nkling only left the room a
few minutes. Should the president
die he will 60 to Washington Police
Commissioner French, John F. Smyh
and Plat are with him almost con.
stantly. 1t was said that he was
deeply moved by many condcmnatory
opinions Of his course having led to
the attempt upon the life Of the presi-
dent. Each entrance to the hotel is
supplied with policemen, whereas or.
dinarily only one or two are on the
eide walk. Capt. Williams in citizens
dress, walked the main entrance for
hours at time. Inspector Thorn
stood at the main entrance most OF
the day, while President French re
manned with Conkling. Police Com
missioners Nichols and Mason were
also at the hotel part of the time.
In the corridors mingling with the
crowds were police detectives in citi.
Gems dress, and other pers ons who bore
the appearance Of detectives were pres
ent and always lowering about whe; q
three or four men happened to he en-
gagged in conversation. Police officials
denied that there was any special sig
niticance to this remarkable display Of
force on quiet day when everybody
was so anxious for the life of the pres
ident. President French said tnat
precautions were taken Ivy Inspector
Thorn on his own responsibility
Thorn, he said, had taken especial
care to protect the hotel because i
was holiday and time Of great eA.
element; owing to the shooting OF
the president. As the hotel was a
central point it was desirable to have
a number Of policemen there. Capt
Williams wac reticent. Officials re
fused to give any explanation of the
mysterious meeting at headquarters
the night before. Hotel men gener-
ally could no. give any explanation Of
the display of police force and detec-
tives. One said, however. that threats
have been made agains, Conkling and
he desired protection in case the peo.
pie might become greatly excited.

CRY COUNCIL PRooEEDINGs-At a
special meeting of the Mayor and City
Council held in the Council Chamber
last Friday evening, Clerk F. Bepler
made the following remarks and Of
fered the subjoined resolutions which
were unanimously adopted: ION
Monday night last the sad intelligence
flashed over the wires that all that
was left of our beloved President WAS
his Lody cold in death, his spirit hav.
ing flown to that land where death
his dark banner no more triumphant
ly shall wave. Gentlemen, ! submit
the following:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God
in His infinite wisdom, to remove James
A. Garfield from his earthly abode to come
up higher, after eleven weeks of intense
suffering, therefore be it
Resolged, That we, the Mayor and Coun.
Gil, have met to express our sorrow in the
death of our great leader, James A. Gar
field, after having come up from an hum.
BILE and pious home through hardshipG
and trials, and having been favored with
honors upon honors until at last he was
crowned with the highest honor in the
gift of the American people, having
climbed to the topmost round in the lad
der OF fame and reached the summit OF
his ambition with bright and prosperous
future before him; his able administration
scarcely begun when suddenly there was
a flash, report, and James A. Garfield
President of these United States, was shot
down BY an assassin's bullet; it fell upon
tho country like thunderbolt from a
cloudless sky; while our republic is
plunged in grief and mourning we feel
confident thai if Chester A. Arthur con-
tinues to carry out the administration laid
down by James A. Garfield, which we
sincerely hope and pray he will, that then
we can look up through all this gloom and
say in the language of Garfield himself
upon the assassination of the immortal
Abraham Lincoln, "God reigns and the
Government at Washington still lives
And be it further
Resolaed, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this meeting
and copy of 1t be published in the

never did a president enter the
White House who carried into it O
household more fitted to live there
But when everything looked serene
the asaassin's bullet ploughed path
into the very heart of the nation.
The presidential chair may be vacated
the assassin's bullet may perform its
work but the government still lives,
The assassins, come from where they
may be they as numerous as they
may, they cannot pull down one pill

not for one man or for one set of men.
We are government that will live

LAST SATURDAY EVENINGS BLAZE
IN Mt. SAVAGE. - Shortly after 8
o'clock last Saturday evening the
Union Mining company's fire brick
works at Mt. Savage took fire and
burned to the ground. The brilliant
illumination it produced led many of
our citizens to believe that the entire
town of Mt. Savage was ablaEe and
some one rang an alarm on the Cath
Ollie Church bells which called out the
fire department who are always
ready to respond at the shortest no.
toe. The fire being confined solely
to the works, however, and other
portions of the town not being con-
sidered in danger, our frsmen were
not called upon. The loss is estimat-
ed to be about $4,000 with an insur-
ance of $4,000. This works employ
ed large force of men who will con-
sequently bs idle until the company
rebuilds which they have decided to
do. The buildings were principally
made of corrugated iron and brick
and were purchased by the company
at the Centennial, they being part of
the carriage annex at that exhibition.
