FIRE AT THE ALMsHoUsE.

CONSERVATION Among the Inmates,
but the Flames EHtinguished with
but slight Damage.
Shortly after supper had been served to
the inmates Of the Washington slmshouse
yesterday evening ono of them smellod
smoke. A search for the cause was made
and flames were discovered between the
ceiling of the third floor and tho roof of
the main building, which was formerly
used as a workhouse prison. An alarm
was turned in from box 527, and all of
the inmates and employees wero set at
work TO extinguish the flames. The fire
had gained considerable Roadway, but
the mon commenced Mt the hand pumps
and by tho time tho fire department
| had arrived the flames had
! been put out. The fire was
caused by sparks from a chimney blow
ing in through n skylight and lodging in
tho rafters. 1t was very fortunate that the
| fire was discovered as soon as it was, for
the wind was blowing stiflly, and tho con-
sequences might have been fatal The in
mates of the almshouse and adjoining
government buildings were very much
| frightened, and there was great excite
ment for a timo. The estimated loss was
about 800.

Brace Up.

Trying to walk with one foot in
the grave does not help us to get
along. Lift up your head and heart,
your hands and your feet, your all,
and do what you can, making your.
self as useful as possible.
Neither bread and raiment, nol
even religion, are found in the grave.
Fretting about things which can,
not be changed except by your owr
conduct is like finding fault witt
your cook for giving you bad Coffee
for breakfast when the fault is witt
yourself in providing her with an
inferior article to make from, while
Genuine Msndheling Java
may be readily obtained at slight

Keep your temper, and let the
bad Coffee be warning against pro,
viding more like it. The best use
of past follies and errors is to lei
them teach us to be more wise now.

Nettled by the defeat of Friday, the West

resolution to win at all hazards. Their prac-
tice was brilliant. and many asserted before
the game that the Westminsters would shut
out their opponents, which they did by score
of 4 to O. They played an errorless game,
and won on their merits. The game had
none of the tameness of the one the day be-
fore. and was marked by sharp hitting and
magnificent fielding. Many pronounced it
equal to any professional game they had ever
Witnessed The battery work of SehWeitZer
and Cantz was the leading feature. The
visitors hit safely often, but could not get
their hits together, and cool playing retired
them when runs seemed certain. In the
second inning the Westminsters got on to
Smiths pitching and made three runs Brown
went in the box in the third inning, and was
SO effective that not hit was made off him

Death of DIR. BeItz.

DIR. Henry E. Beltz died in Manchester on
Thursday last, Aug. 20, 1885, aged about 70
years. He was native of Hanover, Pa, but
his father and mother removed to Manchester
while he was quite young. He was educated
at the Manchester Academy, studied medicine
with the late DR.. Jacob Shower, and attended
lectures in Baltimore after graduating he
formed a co.partnership with his preceptor.
Dr. Beltz was well-known throughout the
county, and was an active Democrat all his
life. In 1873 he was elected Register of
Wills. Shortly before his term of office ex-
PRED his health failed, from paralysis of the
left side, and he continued in that condition
without relief until death ensued For the
last few years he resided with one of his
daughters in Baltimore, butspent the summer
at Manchester. He leaves widow, daughter
of the late George Motter, of Manchester, one
son and two daughters. DIR. Beltz was one
of the charter members of Daniel and Jacob
Lodge, l. o. o. f., chartered in 1884, and
remained an active member up to his demise.
The funeral will take place this Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock.

The Democratic County Central Committee
met in this city last Monday. Every district
was represented, and the attendance was large.
AS to the work before the committee there
was some difference among the members.
Some wanted one set of primaries and one
convention. Others objected, first because
they thought that state and county politics
should not be brought together; and second,
because a convention to send delegates to a
state convention would have to be held too
soon to put a county ticket in the field.
Therefore it was concluded, by nearly two
thirds vote, to hold two primaries and two
conventions.
The date for the convention to select dele
gates to a state convention was fixed for
Monday, August 31st, at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
the primaries therefor to be held on Saturday,
August 20.
The committee fixed Monday, September
Dist, for the county nominating convention,
and Saturday, September 18th, for the pri-
maries.
We believe the committee acted wisely in
calling the primaries and conventions at the
times they did; and, but for the busy time
among farmers, the date for the nominating
convention would have been later still. -Four
to five weeks is ample time for campaign,
but now there will be full six weeks. In that
time surely the people can inform themselves
as to candidates and everything pertaining to
the campaign, and be prepared to vote intel
| ligently.
