i MIDDAY BATTLE NOTE.

BT MRS. 3 l.. oBERHoLTzER.
The days are hot and the nights are cold,
But the battle for lite goes on.
We press to the front with scars untold,
And the victory barely won.
We press to the front and hold our own
by efort and Gods sweet grace,
While the sun and shadow have softly thrown
Age Hnes into beauty's place.
The poet may sing, the yoeman plow,
The philosopher rub his stone,
We are warm w!tl sympathy, yet somehow
We must fight our battle alone
For life Is double within, without,
with scars and with blossoms fair,
and we are alone, though eompassed about
With wealth Of love and care.
Each cry for strength ami each prayer OF thanks
Must peal from our inHlost soul
II {; reach the Lord OF the serted soul
As the tides of action roll
There j. no rest, and grand discharge,
But we fan cut ono by oEe,
Receiving our pension, small or large,
According 10 service ne.

All Omnibus Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The 'som-
nibus claims bill" passed by the
Senate to-day, and previously by
the House, contains 1859 claims of
individuals and each individual
claimant is named together with the
amount allowed. The bill was draft
ed and passed in pursuance of an
act of Congress of July a, 1864, pro-
viding for the payment of certain
demands for quartermaster's stores
and subsistence supplies furnished
the United States Army during the
rebellion. The act provided for goods
furnished, or which were taken from
them, but all claims had to be sub
mitted to the Quartermaster General
if for stores, and to the Commissary
General if for supplies, and after ex-
animation by them, examined and
audited by the Treasury Depart
ment. The bill which passed the SEN
ate to-day contains claims that have
been properly examined and APP
proved, and which amount in the
aggregate to s29l,14S. They are all
small claims, ranging from $40 to
$1,000. The claimants are residents
of Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky Mary
land, Missouri, New York Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia,
and New Mexico. The claims are
mainly for small supplies taken for
the needs of the army in time of war,
and the claimants are nearly all farm

Great Firefn Titusville.

TIrUsvILLE, April 14.-About
half past three o'clock this morning
the roof fofthc Parshall Opera House
was discovered to be on fire. An
alarm was sounded but the firemen
of the city refused to respond. rebel
ling against service under the newly
elected chief, Haehn. Mayor Cald-
well asked ex-Chief Castle to take
charge for the occasion, which he
did, and under his directions the
force went to work with will. By
this time, however, the flames had
gained such headway that it was
impossible to save the Opera House,
and the Parshall House and the
whole block was destroyed. Ad-
joining it stood the Hotel Brunswick
which was gutted out badly. Wat
sons livery stable was also damaged
to the extent of $1,000. Alfred Hub
bard of the Drake hose company,
was caught by q falling wall, and
before he could be rescued was seri-
ously and perhaps fatally burned.
Hattie Williams, colored cook in the
Parshall House, is missing, and is
supposed to have lost her life in the
flames. The Vandergrift hose COM
pany ofOil City came up in response
to request from Mayor Caldwell,
arriving at $50, by which time the
fire was under control. The Par
shall Opera House block was one of
the finest structures in the region.
The Parshall House was a brick
building of six stories, substantial
and finely finished and furnished.
The Hotel Brunswick, which adj
Joined it, was built as a rival to the
Parshall House by Roberts, the tor
pedo man, because he had a dislike
for the proprietors of that house,
and was very fine establishment.
The loss on the Parshall House is
estimated at 100000, with an insu.
of S25 900 on buildings and $1,000 on
the furniture. The loss on the Ho-
tel Brunswick is not stated, but is
probably covered by insurance.

I HARaasnuno, April II For years
past the State Revenue Board have
been in the habit ofraising the mum.
Der Of certain articles taxed and
charging the increase to the coun.
ties. For instance, if fifty gold
watches !. ere returned, and the Board
thought there we're one hundred in
the san locality, thep would raise
that an mt and charge the tax to
the cou j.. Some time ago excep-
ton was taken to the Supreme Court,
which ruled that the assessors being
sworn officers. their return must be
taken as correct and that the Board
had no power to change them. Since
then their returns have been recorded
as presented. This afternoon sever
al parties representing Allegheny
county appeared before the Board,
and desired a reopening of the ac-
counts of that county from 1870 to
1879, alleging that over s60o, 600 had
ben overpaid in that way The Board,
however. refused, but adopted reso.
luton to reopen the accounts of all
the counties in the State, and allow
credit where an excess had been paid
from 1875 to 1879. As the money
paid cannot be taken from the trea-
sury without a special act of the
Legislature, it will be several years
before the State win be able to set
tie with some ofthe counties to whom
money is due.

The New York Tribune publishes
an interesting interview with City
Marshal Enos Craig, of St. Joseph.
Mo. concerning the James murder.
Craig saws that the dead man had
more friends than enemies in that
section, and that if the Ford boys
dom want TO bite the dust. they had
better get out Of that country as soon
rs they are pardoned. He states
that Bob Ford, who Is a beardless
youth of u, was sort of protege OF
Jesse James, who took pride in him
and tutored him in The art of rob-
biag because they gre = up together

Pinkerton's men who had surround
ed the outlaws house at Kearny

Joe together, Jesse was always on
thealert. One day they saw police
man walking up the hill toward the
house, Jesse cried out, "They have
spotted me-" and taking down his
Winchester rifle he drew sight on
the policeman and said: If he
comes ten steps further | shall drop
him. But luckily for the poor fell
low, who was only out for walk ;
he turned and went another direc-
ton, anc thereby saved his life. The
plonder which was found in the
house has all been returned to the
rightful owners, except gold watch

The political campaign that is

portance. A Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Secretary of Internal AZ
fairs, Judge of the Supreme Court,
Congressman, and members of the
State Senate aud House Of Repre-

most important of these Offices, to

immense stake the State has in Ma

only by the election of Republicans
