reputation stood high, and when the an

cause of the failure is attributed to depar-
ture from their legitimate business, TO trans
act grain and provision brokerage, and spec

xOU CAN'T AFFORD IT.

We call the special attention of the
Democratic voters of Carbon county to
the desperate efforts the Republican lead
ess are making to get control ofthe Com
missioners' office. Under tho new Con-
siitution three Commissioners are to be
elected this fll, hut only two can be voted
for by aiy one voter. Each ballot will
therefore bave two names upon ii for that
office Each OF the Republican candi-
dates for Commissioner is soliciting votes
Of Democrats ON the Plea that it will
make no difference in the general result
that two Democrats and one Republi-
can are snre TO be elected. We trust no
Democrat will be induced to vote f9T
either OF the Republican candidstes for
Commissio0er ou this spocious plea, for
unless We elect BOTH OUR CANDIDATES the
Republican, viii get control of the Com
nissionsrs' ofice, and Will Lave the dis.
pensing Of all the couaty patronage.

Important matter if they wish to main

There is despotic coercion in Ireland.
The threat made by Mr.. Forster, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, that Mr.. Parnell
woula soen be clicking bis heels in
Kilmaiubam Jail" has been carried out.
Troops with loaded guns have been de-
spatched to various parts Of the island,
aud war vessels have been ordered to the
Irish coast, The charge against the
prisoner is obstruction to the Land bill
by melting resistance to it. Other ar
rests will soon follow, for Forster is not

bitter, determined and relsntl IS. There
will perhaps be bloody issue made al

On the evening of the 18th inst, most
disasterous fire broke out in c. II. Landen-
berger's cotton and wooden mill, on Ran
dolph street and Columbia avenue, by which
eight persons were burnt to death or kill
ed by leapug from the third and fourth
floors, to the pavement below, and about IF
teen were injured, from which some are not
expected to recover. The scene was appall-
ing and beggared description, as the girls
aud women stood at the windows, wild and
frantic, imploring for help. "God help one9"
+" Jesus have mercy on mel" Oh ! fa-
ther! 10 ohl motherl" were the pitiful
cries that greeted the panic stricken crowd
below. AS the flames came licking up the
stairway, and as the fiery tongues began to
lash around the FIVE story building, the hor-
rors became great, the wild staring figures
of those incarcerated in the fire prison were
fearful to behold. In short time after the
fire was discovered, the FIRE had almost hn-
ished its heartrending work on the poor vic
Tins. The loss is about $50 900, covered by
insurance. The community is greatly Ogi-
tatsd on account of there being no means fol
escape. Mill owners are required TO have
the necessary iire.eseapes put up on the ou
side OF the building, but this mill had not (

There are r towns, one borough and three coun- ties which have no debt, while 15O towns, 15 boroughs, 5 counties and all 10 of the cities are in debt The three counties are Fair field, Windham and Litchfeld the one bor- ough is Stamford. The Comptroller says that of the r unindebted towns only show gain of population, and the net decline on the whole IF is 133 on a total enumeration of 1880. Practically, therefore," he says, Eft does not appear, since the State has in creased about 16 per cent, and these towns have declined, that being out of debt is 8 very strong element of growth in itself.
