1t is Misrepresentation OF an inexcusa-
bic sort-though even Mr.. Allison was
not quite honest enough to abstain from
it on recent occasion-to say, as Mr..
Harrison said in public two days ago,
that the amount OF the surplus
is "variously estimated" by government
officers. If Mr.. Harrison knows any,
thing OF what he was talking about,
he knows that there is no question OF
estimates involved in the matter. 1t
is simply case of counting, and there
can be no sort of doubt or question
concerning the count. H If
Mr.. Harrison's misrepres entation was
not wilful attempt to deceive his hear
ers and wrong his adyersaries, it indi-
Gates a degree of ignorance and careless
ness in financial thinking which iustifes
the alarm felt by sound business men at
the thought that one 80 ill-iniormed
and incapable may by some chance have
official authority to meddle with the
financial machinery on which the pros
perity OF the country is in so delicate a
way dependent.-[New York CONNER.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Filling the Grand
Opera House.

OPeAa 1OuSes
The business at the Grand for this
week is as such as was to be expected
when Rice's Erangeline with such a cast
as there is, and all the beautiful customs
and splendid scenery used in New York
was announced. The house was filled
last night all but as densely as on the
opening night. Nor was there the least
Stacking Of enthusiasm on the part of the
audience. The singing of Miss Fay Tenn
pleton and Of Miss Louise Montague is
something person of taste does not
soon tire. Mathis drolleries do not get
stale in day, and he must be of sour
disposition who cannot twice admire Geo.
S. Knight in his inemitable take-otf Of
strabismic Ben OF spoons-stealing fame.
Full houses are sure to be the order OF
the whole week at the Grand.

DEATH IN THE MINE.
Seventeen Bodies Taken Out, the Result
of an Explosion.

Seventeen Bodies Taken Out, the Result
of an Explosion.
There was an explosion ON the night
Of the Sd, in the Kettle Creek Coal Min
ing Company's mines, thirty miles west
of Lockhaven, Pa, which were but re-
Gently opened. The explosion oc-
Cured in a new drift in which twenty
enc persons were at work. AS soon as
possible after the explosion the mine
was entered and fifteen dead bodies
were carried out and four others
badly injured were found, one of whom
has since died and the others are likely
to die. The cause OF the explosion is
unknown, but it is supposed to have
been the striking Of fssure or pocket
of gas. The disfgured and naked body
of a miner was 70 md fifty feet from the
mouth of the air shaft through which it
had been blown.
The names of the dead SO far as
learned are Samuel Klllinger, Park
Donnelly, Michael Curran and three
Cariston brothers.
Many rumors are going the rounds,
and among them is one that the direct
cause Of the explosion was the mex
perienced use of dynamite in the mines.
In conversation with one of the drivers
who escaped, it was learned that all
Italian had gotten 100 sticks of the dy-
Mantle from the store in the morning
and had also gotten 1G0 caps and had
returned after fuse, but as there was
none in stock it is supposed that he had
tried to set it off in some other wav,
thus causing the explosion.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. Ia Proc
tanaatioe by the President of the United
States: Constant thanksgiving and graf
itude are due from the American peo-
pie to Almighty God, for His goodness
and mercy which have followed them
since the day he made them ma
ton and vouchsafed to them a
free government. With loving kindness
He has constantly led us in the way of
prosperity and greatness. He has not
visited with swift punishment our short
comings, but with gracious care He has
warned us of our dependence upon His
forbearance and has taught us that obe-
dience to His holy law is the price OF
continuance of His precious gifts.
In acknowledgment of all that God
has done for us az nation, and to the
end that on ar appointed day, the unit
ed prayers and praise of grateful coun-
try may reach the Throne of Grace, I,
Grover Cleveland, President of the
United States. do hereby designate and
set apart Thursday, the Goth day of No
vember, instant, as day Of thanksgiv-
ing and prayer, to be kept and observed
throughout the land. On that day let
all our people suspend all their ordlna-
ry work and occupations, and in
their accustomed places of worship, with
prayers and songs of praise, render
thanks to God tor all his mercies, for
the abundant harvests which have re-
warded the husbandman during the
year that has passed, and for the rich
rewards that have followed the labors of
our people in their shops and their
marts of trade and traffic. Let us give
thanks for peace and social order and
contentment within our borders, and
for our advancement in all that adds to
national greatness.
And mindful of the affective dispen-
sation with which portion of our land
has been visited, let us, while we
humble ourselves before the power of
God, acknowledge His mercy in setting
bounds to the deadly march of the
pestilence, and let our hearts be
chastened by sympathy with our fellow
countrymen who have suffered and who
mourn.
And as we return thanks for all the
blessings which we have received from
the hands of our Heavenly Father, let
us not forget that He has enjoined upon
us charity; and, on this day Of thanks
giving, let US generously remember the
poor and needy, 80 that our tribute of
praise and gratitude may be acceptable
in the sight of the Lord.
Done at the city of Washington on the
LIST day of November, 1888, and in the

In witness whereof I have hereunto
signed my name and caused the seal of

SAVED THEIR CLOTHES.
A Ladies' Seminary Destroyed by Fire Ii
the Night


the Night
A dispatch Of the 4th from Godfrey,
H., says: The Monticello Ladies' sem
mary caught fire at o'clock this morn
ing and by daylight was destroyed. The
fire originated in a frame building
adjoining the main edifice, used as
kitchen and servants quarters, and the
inmates of the main building were
at once aroused. Miss Haskell
ordered the pupils to dress and secure
what effects they could and then leave
the house. There was no panic and
the pupils and teachers escaped with
OFT injury. Some were frightened and
neglected to clothe themselves suf-
fastened to the scene, and every
endeavor was made to confne
the fire to the frame addition, but
the cornice soon caught fire, the flames
spread TO the roof, and there being no
fire apparatus at hand, the fight was
given up and attention paid to saving
life and property. Two pianos and
thre>- organs were saved. Nineteen
pianos and vast amount Of property,
accumulated IN the half century the
school was in operation. were burned.
The pupils and teachers remained
about the premises. Beauty in distress
was seen on every mana. SOmo were
lame nting their losses; others were
scar ching for their effects, which were
scattered about in dire confusion, and
still others wrapped themselves IN bed
spreads for warmth and surveyed the
Gene almost stupefed at the calamity.
wo of the trustees, E. P. Wade and
B. Isett. were present, and aided
Miss Haskell in restoring order and
arranging for the comfort of the pupils.
The cottage was unframed, and there
many found shelter, and others were
taken to neighboring dwellings. Miss
Haskell expects to be able 10 get all the
pupils started home by tomorrow night.
The seminary loss on building and con-
tents is over $150,0O0; insurance, $751;
600. The loss Of pupils and teachers in
clothing, jewely and effects is heavy, al
though nearly all saved something. No
plans for continuing the school are yet

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 5.-Inteligence
just received here of the explosion of
nitro-glycerine magazine, near Shapno-
pin, Pa, an oil town twelve miles from
here, at an early hour this morning.
Great damage was done to SUR
rounding property. The magazine
belonged to the torpedo company of
Delaware. The explosion was terrific
ana was felt 25 miles away. Houses and
shanties were shattered in the immedi-
ate vicinity. At Sewickley, five miles
distant, the shock was so heavy that
people ran panic-stricken from their
houses. 1t is reported that large num-
Der of persons were killed and injured,
but it is believed that no one was hurt,
although n othing definite is known.
There was between two and three
tons of glycerine In the magazine, and
the conclusion shook the very founda-
tons of houses between Rochester and
Pittsburg. The earth was torn up for 9
distance of 500 yards; trees an eighth of
a mile away were rent asunder,
and many houses were wrecked.
The residences of George and
William Wilson and Thomas
Mccoy, situated half mile away were
completely shattered and the occupants
thrown through the windows. Fortu-
nately they were not seriously injured
and as far as can be ascertained no one
was killed, with the possible exception
of the tramp. The loss will be heavy
but cannot now be estimated.
The cause of the explosion is q mys-
terry. It is supposed, however, that a
tramp who was seen in the neighbor-
hood yesterday, being ignorant of the
danger, in some way agitated the stuff
and the explosion followed.

BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 5.-Mr. Gladstone
arrived here to-day. The city was en-

and will make several speeches. On his
arrival to-day he was driven to the
town hall in a carriage drawn by
four horses. A great crowd await
ed him and numerous Populations
presented him with addresses. Mr..
Gladstone in speech said that the adj
dresses fully recognized the fact that
the Irish question was really the En-
glish, Scotch and Welsh question, and
that unless the question was settled the
country could know neither solid peace
nor effectual progress. He said that
ell efforts to solve the fisher
les question with the Unit
ed States had been egregious
failures. The Sackville incident, he said !,
was extremely unfortunate. It had re-
suited in the infection of serious slight
and disparagementu upon England. He
hoped the matter was susceptible of sat-
isfactory explanation. The incident
ought to serve to moderate little the
spirit of Wanting and Dragging which is
In vogue among many Tories.

A HARVEST OF DEATH.
Terrible Boiler Explosion on a Farm
Five Threshess Instantly Killed.


READING, Pa, Nov. "A terrible ac-
cident, resulting in the killing of five
men and the injury of many others took
place this forenoon on the farm
of Jonas Spayd, in Bern Township, this
county, where a steam threshlng ma
chine was in operation. The boiler
exploded with fearful force, carrying
destruction on every hand. The killed
are William Rever, boy aged IL;
Joseph Machmer,, aged IA, the
ter; Isaac Marberger, aged IL;
Joseph Spayd, aged about 80, and
Irwin Dnntelberger, aged 19. These
men were engaged in operating the
threshing machine when the boiler
burst, and were standing but a few feet
from the latter, and when the smoke
had cleared away terrible scene was
presented. The bodies Of all five
were lying some distance away,
having been hurled from thirty
to fifty feet, terribly mutilated.
The body of Machmer was hurled
through the weather boarding OF
the barn. The building was completely
wrecked. The force of the explosion
was felt for many miles around. George
Hinnershitz, ST., was badly injured

gineer Hoover received severe bruises
John Riegel was internally injured, and
two or three others received injuries of
most serious character.
George Hinnershitz. one of the in
jured, was the owner of the threshing.
machine. He has had it in use for sew
eral years, removing it from place to
place and doing threshing for farm
ers. The boiler has been in
use as long as the machine.
The coroner's jury made up it's
verdict at noon that the cause of the ex-
plosion was an accident, without inquir-
ing as to the condition of the boiler.
The machine stood down in a valley,
just outside the barn, or the destruction
would have been more widespread.
Pieces of the boiler were thrown over
$50 feet.
Minnie Baer, aged 10, suffered a con-
cussion of the brain and will die.
Coroner Bernhard has gone to the
scene of the accident to hold al inquest.
