The Hayes truck, which was recently
purchased by the city fire department
has arrived. 1t was unloaded at tho freight
depot this morning and taken to the En-
pire house. its future quarters. The truck
has been fully described in our columns
before. 1t il a beautiful machine and is
fully equipped with ladders. hooks, axes.
sc. 1t il great deal heavier than the old

There are Ladders enough to reach any dis

by many to-day and greatly admired. A
trial of it will likely 10 made tomorrow
when tho manner of erecting tho ladders
will be shown.
A suggestion has been made by num-
Der of citizens that is considered q very
good ono IL is to have a parade by tho
entire new department. Tho horses and
men employed have not had much bari
work to do at fires lately and the apparatus
all looks very we'll. No department in
the state has finer lot of stock, and il all
were put upon the streets by the chief en-
gineer for u short parade ON some Saturday
afternoon the citizens would have an Op-
portunity of seeing how we'll everything 10
cared for by the fireme1. A new truck
completes the department, and u very
creditable display could bo made.

A special dispatch from Pittsburgh,
says:
That the boss campaign is in desperate
straits is an open secret. The campaign

Boss Cooper have been given every assist

funds to meet the desperate exigencies Of
the last days of the campaign, and it is

tison in the vote in this county, while the
issue between Beaver and Stewart is be-

One OF the most convincing evidences of
Stalwart disappointment has just been de-
veloped here. 1t will be remembered that
early in the canvass Chairman Cooper,

The enterprise that began SO hopefully
did not prove profitable, however, for, like
Field Marshal Cooper's Labor contingent,
Land League effort and other diversions
fell still born. Mr.. Geary, credulous and
contented, entered upon his part of the
agreement with characteristic energy.
Beaver hats we're made in great quantities,
and the shelves were numbered with their
accumulation, but the customers came
tardily and like angels visits, "few and

and blank orders forwarded with impOrtu-
nate letters, urgiDg purchasers to come to
the front, but the trade was dull and the
goods failed to find market.
At last, driven to desperation, Mr..
Geary made final appeal to retailers, of

of voters at the ropes will not run sue
cessfully. If the party voters would
always understand their power and ex-
erciss it, the people would never need to
complain of their bosses, who would
learn good behavior fast enough if they
were made to realize that any other kind
would not pay. The Republican voters
in their effort to redeem themselves are
about to smash their party if they had
exercised a little gentle but steady
persuasion during the past twenty years
they might have accomplished their
purpose and saved their party too.

sas to the entire satisfaction of every one.
The history of the case is interesting.
Gen. Malone demanded the removal Of
Mrs Pine because her brother, Mr.. George
c. Round, "a lifelong Republican, would not
surrender his convictions and support
Malone candidates, and asked the ap
pointment of Samuel Martyr, who does
not live within fifteen miles of Manassas.
and who never in his life got . letter out
of that postofice. A petition was for
waIded to Washington asking the reten-
ton of Mrs. Pine, signed, with but two
exceptions by every person having 6usi-
ness at the Manassas postoffice. Not
Withstanding this, in obedience to the
demand of Mr.. Malone, the order was
issued for the removal of Mrs. Pine, and
the commission Of Martyr as her successor
was made out and reached Manassas this
morning. When the Rev. DR.. Vaugean
made his appeal to the the president, he
told him that the unanimous feeling Of
the people was against the removal IF
Mrs. Pine that her performance of the
duties of the Office had been unexceptiOna-
ble and thoroughly efficient. The presi-
dent replied that all he know about it was
that he had been told her brother was
opposing his administration. DR.. Vaughan
said he did not come as politician, but
only to respect the wishes of the people Of
his town, but he knew that Mrs. Pines
brother, Mr.. Round approved Of every act
of the administration except in its ad-
herence to Malone. The president then
