The fire alarm was sounded about one o.
clock on the morning of the sixth. Peo-
pie sprang out of their beds in haste, the
fire department was aroused and was has
;ening in the direction OF the fire, when it
was discovered to be bon fire that some
overdosed 4th of July patriot, or drunken
men, or cruel wag, or an idiot, had started
in the street at the intersection of Bridge and
Main streets. The people went back to their
beds sioicing that it was not another great
conhagation.
Several weeks ago number of veterans
at reunion at Reading, Pa, were poison
ed by eating a certain piece OF beef, later
than that, a anumber of persons were poisoned

Later than that, about seventy persons were
poisoned by eating ice cream at pic
mic in Illinois, and now the latest is that be-
tween sixty and a hundred people were poi
soned at a picnic in Kansas by drinking pic

Last Sunday Z. d. Graham, a Philadel-
phian, passed through the rapids below Nj
agara Falls in an oaken barrel, seven feet
long. At O'Clock P. NJ, be got into the
barrel, closed the top, and was towed out
into the stream, where the current would
atch the barrel. The barrel was landed
safely five miles below the starting point.
Graham opened the barrel and crawled out
all right. One arm was somewhat bruised.
The passage of the whirlpool was a series
and made his own barrel.
Senator Riddleberger of Virginia, one
day last week gave kick to the secret ses-
sion of the United States Senate. Of all
the gauzy humbugs that politicians keep up
at Washington, there is none to equal the
secret sessions of the Senate. In times of
peace the nation wants no secret session of
Congress. The secret session is a sham aud
a fraud, pretense of dignity, with pretense
of very important business to transact,
while in point of fact, 1t is only to further
the pretentious schemes and frolics of pre-
sumptuous politicians. Give the secret
sessions another kicking speech, Senator.

When the employees in an Indiana furni-
ture factory operated by a German struck
for eight hours work day, he granted it,
but when they wanted ten hours pay for
eight hou-s work he called them up snd
said "My freus, maype do ash you like.
| half an order from S Shegago for ten doxen
shairs. l vhill sheep him eight dozen and
bill him for ten. If he doan' kick on me il
shows me dot der rule works both vhays
und we Who's all right" 1t is needless to
add that the idea didn't work, and that his
men are receiving eight hours pay.-Wall
Street News.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says: The ram.
pant, wild-eyed O'Donovan Rossa is not in
favor of Home Rule. In his oration-or ha-
rangue-at ST. Louis yesterday, he declared
against the policy of Gladstone, aud wildly
called for a war'upon England with tons OF
dynamite. If an ounce or two of the explo
sive were placed under Rosa and fired Off
the cause of Ireland would be a gamer by
IT, while the servant-girls would no longer
be robbed of their hard earned wages, whic b
are filched from them by Fenian agents
whose treasury is carried around in Rossa's
pocket.
1t is presu med that the temperance peo
pie, that is prohibitionists, will be satisfied
with the position of the Republican party or
the question of the liquor traffic. BY it:
platform it favors leaving the question oi
amendment, for or against the manufacture
and sale OF liquors to the people at the polls
Possibly the better way to control the liquor
question would be by stringent enforcement
of license laws, but that is not what the
Temperance agifators want They wart ar
amendment to the constitution TO prevent
the sale and manufacture OF intoxicating
drinks. The only way to obtain an amend
ment is by the process of law. The Repuo
ican platform simply says that the question
of amendment should be submitted to tht
people, it does not pretend to tell people
how to vote.
For the distance OF a square, along Main
street, north of Bridge street, business men

inst, and saying, ssthcre is something burn

smell. He said, ssthere it is" aud pointed
