Philadelphia Germans.

Philadelphia, October 6.-The Ger
mar bi-centennial celebration, which
will continue for four days, in COM
memoration Of the landing in this city
in 1888 of the immigrants from Ger
many to this country, opened this even
ing with q grand concert. The Acsd-
envy of music was filled in every part
and tastefully decorated with plants
and flowers, and flags and bunting.
The stage was enlarged TO accommo-
date the musicians and singers. The
German musical societies. programme
was a long one, and was listened to
with marked attention by the large
audience, which was enthusiastic and
liberal with applause, both for the mu-
sicians and orators. The principal
orations were by DR.. G.. Keller, editor
of the German Democrat, in German,
and L. W. Pennypacker in English.
Both of these gentlemen sketched the
early history Of the German pioneers,
and paid glowing tributes to their
pluck and many virtues, which resulted
in the establishment of so vigorous a
colony as Germantown, now a noted
and wealthy suburb of this city, where
the pioneers settled on their arrival
here.

SHAR0N'S SQUABBLE
Miss Hill interviewed on the
Subject
Why Sharon Kept the Marriage
Secret.
She Means to Maintain Her
Rights.
The Sharon Scandal.

San Francisco, October 6.-Miss
Hill, who claims to be the wife of Sem
stor Sharon, was interviewed to-day
and says the reason that the marriage
was kept secret was that Sharon de-
sired to be, reelected senator from
Nevada. He said if the marriage was
made public some woman in Philadel-
phia would raise a row and spoil his
chances. She says the marriage con-
tract was signed in Sharon's Office in
the Bank of California; that he after
ward tried to recover it, but she always
refused to give it up, and to insure its
safety had it sewn up in a jacket which
she always wore. Her reasons for hav-
ing the senator arrested are that she
learned be was going east to marry a
young lady in New York and she was
determined to prevent it. She says she
spoke to Sharon about this proposed
marriage, saying;
"senator, you know you have no
right to marry that woman"
He replied: baby, it's all right; 1
will only be gone a few weeks"
"But," continued Miss Hill, 81 made
up my mind L would maintain my
and intend to do 3d."

Disastrous Fire.

Galveston, Tex, October 6.-1 p. m.
Probably the largest and most de-
structive fire that ever occurred here is
now raging. at II o'clock this morn
ing a fee broke out in the engine room
of w. @. Howard & Col elevator and
o after flames were issuing forth in
all directions. The elevator is situated
right at the Texas & Pacific depot, one
block north of Elm street. The flames
srread rapidly and soon the cotton yard
and city compress, occupying a block
OF ground Immediately adjoining the
elevator, caught fire and was rapidly
consumed.
A strong breeze is blowing from the
southeast and the heat from the burn
ing district is frightful. T1e elevator
fell with a crash. The brick building
adjoining it, occupied by Sinker, Davis
& Co., containing boilers and engines,
is also a total loss.
The flames rapidly spread and soon
the cotton around the city compress,
across from the elevator, caught and is
being rapidly burned. 1t is hoped that
the compress will be saved with but
little damage, as every effort is being
made in thai direction.
At 12:45 p. m. the FIRE was still rag.
Ing, going in a northelly direction, and
has just caught aud wiped Il the cleo.
trio light works and a livery stable.
That part of town in which it is now
spreading is composed of small frame
structures and there is no telling where
it will stop.
The elevator contained wheat and
oats to the amount of 10000 bushels,
all Of which is destroyed. There are,
also, probably 1000 bales of cotton con-
sumed thus far. Prominent insurance
men estimate the loss at $1,000, 900 and
the insurance at three-fourths that
amount. OF course this is only guess
work, as nothing definite can be OBJ
tanned.
Business is almost suspended and the
whole town is excited. The fire de-
partment responded promptly, but it
was nearly half an hour before they got
regularly to work and then the water
supply was inadequate and one of the
engines seemed to be nearly worthless.
When the FIRE broke out there were
some twenty-five or thirty box and fiat
cars lying around on the track, and as
the hose had to cross the track the fire.
men were delayed until a switch engine
could remove them.
Fort Worth has been telegraphed for
aid and an engine and firemen is ex-
pected in a few minutes.

ject to spells of melancholy, and often
exhibited marks of temporary insanity,
and at such times invariably sought to
do violence to the little ones. Last
Wednesday during the absence of her
husband the was attacked with
a fit of unusual severity, during which
she grabbed a big butcher knife and at
once began the work Of destruction.
The Oldest child, a sweet girl of ten,
was the first to fall beneath the wild
mothers heavy blows. The victims
head was almost severed from IL 9
body. With m%eLhodical madness so
peculiar to the insane, in quick success
sion she slew the other children, hack
ing and stabbing them in a most bar
barous manner. Suddenly taking a
parting look at the dead she plunged
the knife into her own heart. Next
morning the parish priest arrived, and
amid the sobbing and wailing of those
present the sad funeral rites were per
| formed,

THE BLACKS PROGRESSING. -Ex. Post
master General Creswell, of Maryland, In
speaking the other day OF the progress oil
the negroes since their emancipation, said
"They have sometimes submitted to the
domination OF bad leadership, they have
been deceived and used by designing men
to accomplish personal aud discreditable
ends in some sections; but, In the main, ]
think they have done well and made sub
stantial progress; and looking now back
over the nineteen years since voted for
the thirteenth Constitutional amendment
which abolished slavery, / do not hesitate
to say that II were called upon to recon-
slider that vote should cast it as did In

A DEFENCE OF PONTIUS PLATE.

A DEFENCE OF PONTIUS PLATE.
Among my first elaborated articles was
defence of Pontius Plate, who then,
as now, believed to have made earnest
and fearless efforts to rescue our Saviour ;
and that instead of being held respon-
sible for his crucifxion, he discharged
an official duty with painful reluctance
and under solemn protest. The evidence
and argument in support of this view of
Pilates conduct was drawn from the
scriptural history of the transaction.
Nearly sixty years afterwards, while
in attendance at the hippidrome in New
York, where Moody and Sankey drew
tens of thousands of hearers, listened
with much interest to an eloquent ser
mon from Mr.. Moody, in which he vim
dicated the conduct and character of Pr
late, taking the same line and quoting
the same Scripture that l had relied on
in my juvenile efort.-From the "Auto-
