To-Day Tuesday, Governor Pat
tison will be inaugurated, and
henceforth for four years, Pennsyl-
vania passes under Democratic rule
Governor Pattison is accredited with
being an honest man, a pious Meth
odist. and an extreme partisan.
While it will be idle therefore to ex-
pect anything but that he VIII be a
hide bound Democrat, the honesty
aud integrity of character which are
conceded to him. entitle him TO the
personal respect and the best wishes
of all citizens who have the good OF
the State at heart. He is not about
to lie down on a bed of roses. III he
is true to himself and 10 his former
record, as an honest, conscientious,
God fearing man, he will soon find
the baser aud perhaps the larger
portion of his own party arrayed
against him, while his choice OF
counsellors will, in all probability,
estrange from him a number OF the
leading spirits who labored for his
success. On the ether hand, while
he owes his election to the indie
pendents. his narrow p%artisanshlp
will prevent all acknowledgement OF
them except in words, and while
their mortified vanity may preclude
any open expressions OF hostility, a
diet of husks will not have a tenden-
cy to sweeten their tempers, or in
duce them to address their energies
TO an enthusiastic support OF his add
m~inistration. He enters upon his
new duties under peculiar circum-
stances, and while his every action
will be jealousy scanned, and he
cannot hope to escape a share OF
that misrepresentation which falls to
the lot of all public men of the pres
ent day, he is entitled to a fair trial,
and a verdict made up, not on spec
ulation, but from his official acts
and their resulting consequences.

day, WAS burned TO death in sight of
the multitude.
The scenes at the morgue, where,
at an early hour. thirty-two bodies
were lying in a CHASTITY heap ON the
floor of a small room, were heart
rending beyond human power of
description. A strong police force
was necessary to keep the anxious
inquirers In line. Mrs. John Gil
bertls body vas positively identified.
1t was a touching scene to see the
bride of a night uDon the cold mar

a look of anguish depicted on her
delicate features. 1t is said she was
a Miss Sutton, of Chicago, before she

AN APPALLING DISASTER.
HEART-RENDING HOLOCAUST.
One Hundred Lives Lost by the Burn
ing OF the NewhaiI House AT Mil
wAukee Hurrifying Scenes Mrs.
Gilbert, the Bride of a Day, Among
the Victims.

MILWAUKEE, January 10.-The
Newhall House, a six story brick
building, corner of Michigan street
and Broadway, which cost $4,000,
was burned To theground this morn
ing. The fire was discovered at 4
A. NJ, and in less than half an hour
the whole building, long designated
as a death-trap, was enveloped In
flames. Scenes of the utmost terror
prevailed. The inmates OF the doom
ed building jumped by dozens from
the upper stories, covering the stone
sidewalks with I~ifeless bodies. The
shrieks of the unfortunates filled the
air in a heart-rending manner. The
people below were unable to render
any aid. Quite a number of the
terrified guests and employees of the
hotel appeared at the windows, and
seeing the distance to the ground,
fell back TO perish in the flames.
The employees of the hotel, which ac-
commodated eight hundred guests,
numbered eighty-six, mostly lodged
in the sixth story. Exit by way OF
the roof was cut off BY the fire, and
the two stand-pipes with the fire
ladders were not available for the
same reason. A very few were saved
by jumping on canvas. The stores
and offices on the ground floor were
entirely cestroyed.
A number of wholesale establish
ments in Water street we're damaged
by fire and by the falling walls OF
the building. Among them were
those of VIM. Cramer, banker; the
Goodyear Rubber Company, Louis
Schadegg q Co., wholesale wine
merchants; James Morgan, DIR,
goods, and Zimmerman Bros, cloth
ing.
William Candee, cashier of the
Manufacturers Bank, carried the
cash box of the institution, contain
ing money and papers amounting to
100000, out of the flames. The
insurance agencies and general office
on the first floor saved scarcely any
papers. The insurance on the hotel
is stated by c. d. Nash, president OF
the Newhall House Association, at
$4,000, all held by Cincinnati
agencies. The loss is scarcely to he
estimated at this hour, but it will
reach 100000. Telegraphic COM
m%unications will be interrupted for
traffic North, as about fifty wires are
down.
