The rapidity with which the steamboat Bay
Ridge burned at wharf early Yesterday morn
ing and the fact that one Of the persons on
board lost his life, suggest the dreadful pos
sibilities that might have been had the boat
caught fire when crowded with passengers.
This occurrence should induce steamboat own
ers to redouble precautions against fire. One
calamity ike the burning Of the Seawanhaka
is enough for this generation.

Mr.. Cleveland is not running in England
quite so well as he was. A few weeks ago his
reelection was pronounced certain by the Eng
lish press but now even "The London Times"
admits that the chances of Presidential cleo
ton never hung more indecsiyely in the bal
ance. That is significant admission, even
taking into account the change Of tone on the
part of the British journals when they received
a hint that their praise of Mr.. CleveandS free
trade policy would injure the cause they
wished TO advance. If the President is losing
the strong support that he has hitherto had in
England. his chances are indeed gloomy.

The Wagner festival at BayTeuth is the
musical climax Of the year. No other event
in the world calls together so many musicians
and music lovers. This summers festlvai is
partially described for THE TRIBUNE's readers
to-day by Mr. Louis G.. ElsOn well known as
an accomplished and discriminating musical
critic. The performance Of Parsifal," in his
opinion, fell a little short Of what was ex-
pected, but Die Mestersinger' was spon-
taneous and notable triumph. An interesting
portion of the letter gives an account OF the
writer's visit to Madame Wagner, who greatly
resembles her father List.
Chicago's experience with cable cars does
not aft ord much encouragement TO other cities
in which the use Of cables is contemplated. The
DELAYS and breaISdowns on the North Side sys-
TEN are veXatious to the last degree, and the
syndicate controlling the roads is charged with
all manner of petty eXtortions The cause OF
the trouble is said TO be that the lines were
built too cheaply. There is an economy that
proves far from economical in the end, and
Chicago seems to have experienced this van-
ETY.. The citizens however, are. determined
to assert their rights, and by sticking to the
matter they will get them

Mr.. ii. w. Waldron, formerly of Buckfield,
VIII be panied to learn of his death which
occurred at his residence in New Castle, Ind,
Tuesday, Nov. 6.
1t is said that Mr.. Edward A. Perry. at

of the Herald.
The Atlanta, Ga, Journal, speaks as fol-
lows OF young man from Bath who stood
at his post through the yellow fever epidem-
ic in Jacksonville: "Mr. Martin, editor of the
Times-Union, was ably sustained by W. T.
Hawthorne, who was associate editor of the
paper, and wholnow, since the death of Mr..
Martin is in charge. Mr.. Hawthorne was
Tor long time connected with the old News
Herald, and is one of the ablest newspaper
men In the South. His courage in remaining
steadfast to his post was very highly COM
mended by Col. Daniel the head of the syn

you now is dead. Mr.. Hawthorne has gone
through without harm, and has been at his
post every day and night since the fever
started. To him more than to anyone else
is due the fact that the Times Union missed

SAMARITAN ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting, Reports and EIec-
ton of Officers.

The annual meeting of the Samaritan AS
ISOLATION was held Wednesday afternoon.
with Mrs. Gardner LugwIg Devotional ex.
ercises were conducted by Rev. Henry
Blanchard.
The following is the report of the secre-
tary, Mrs. M. r. Kendall:
sECRETARY's REPORT,
The sixtieth year of the Samaritan Associa-
ton has just drawn to a close, and has been
an eventful one to the society. In the death
OF our beloved president, Mrs. C. M. Plum
mer, the association met with an irreparable
loss. For many years member of this So
ciety, and all the latter past of her life hold
ing successfully the responsible offices of
treasurer and president, her sphere for do
Ing good was almost unlimited, and noblv
did she perform the duties assigned to her.
Words are weak to express the beauties of
her life, but her deeds live after her. and her
noble example is left for us to emulate. Let
us each and every one show our appreciation
OF her fidelity and charity by striving TO en-
nance the prosperity of the society in which
she had SO strong and loving an interest.
Inc society mas held 10 regular meetings and
one special meeting, with an average attend
ance %. The largest number present was 49,
The smallest number present. 16. Seven new
members have been added to the association !:
seven nave Withdrawn, and two have passed
on to the silent majority"
To all our friends who have granted ne
favors during the year, and especially to the
members of the press, who have unanimous
~ treated us with the greatest courtesy, we
would express our hearty thanks.
Financially the society is in about the
same condition as last year, but for the last
two years the receipts have not been nearly
as large as for the years previous. Let us
hope that our 61st year may show different
result. We have paid the treasurer by the
secretary $31025; by the president, $194 81.

Carnival of Months.

The music at the Carnival, under the di-
rection OF Mr.. Duncan, has been exception
ally fne On Wednesday evening, the open
ing duet from William Tell, by Misses Hood
and Lyman, was played with great spirit.
Miss Hood also played Gottschalk's 'Tremo-
To- and whispering Winds by Wollen-
haupt Miss Hood combines delicacy of
touch and brilliancy of style with the pecu-
liar sympathy of true artist. Miss Wiley,
of this city, who has been educated in the
Boston school, played fantasia on themes
from "Rigolletto," with great accuracy and
precision. Miss Wiley is thorough and
painstaking, and must be an excellent in
structor. Miss knight sang with great
sweetness. Miss Long, with her usual mag
netism, and Mr.. Barnard, the favorite tenor,
gave song, entitled Keepsake" Mr.. Ran
kin kindly assisted in the Accomplishments.
The programme for last evening was of
similar character, the piano played by Miss
Hood and Mr.. Rounds, pupil of Mr. Ran
kin. That the singing of Mrs. Morrison and
Mrs, Shurtleff was delightful, goes without
saying. The fresh young voic, # Miss Ran
kin was heard to advantage in a soprano
solo, Everywhere" by Baerman.
This evening Miss Alice Wood will sing.
and Miss Libby, a pupil of Mr.. Rankin's,
and Miss Hood will play. A quartette from
Harvard College, composed of Mr.. Billiard
nrst tenor. Mr.. Fullerton second tenor, Mr..
Bradlee first bass, Mr.. Embich second bass,
with Mr.. Taylor as accompanist, will sing.
Mr.. Hackett, of the Boylston Club of Boston
a soloist and one of the finest singers in Har
yard, will also be present to delight the au
dience.
The social character of this charming en-
tertainment has been one of its agreeable
features. The ladies at the booths have done
a thriving business, the dinner was particu
larly appetizing and crowded with young
men who seemed to appreciate the choice
worn on sleeves, but the way to them lies in
a different direction. The arrangement of
the dinner was admirable, and reflected
credit on the ladies in charge

Col. L. F. copeIand,s Lecture,

The lecture of Col. Copeland, to be given
tonight in City Hall, promises to be of great
interest. The subject whats to Hinder"
opens a field of wider range, and gives OPP
portunity for Col. Copeland to exercise his
varied gifts of eloquence, logic and wit to
great effect. In his native State, Pennsylya-
mia, Col Copeland has filled more engage
ments than any lecturer in the country. OF
this particular lecture the press of the State
speak in highest terms. We quote from one
of the leading papers:
"R epository Hall was TANNED on Tues
day evening by highly Intelligent and APP
preciative audience to hear Col. Copeland on
What's to Hinder?" and it is needless to
say the lecture was rare intellectual treat.
For over two hours the Colonel kept his
audience spell-bound, from the beginning to
the close, and every one, we venture to say,
left the hall feeling better for the instruction
given. We cannot enter even into a mere
synopsis of the lecture for want of space,
and besides sketch of the lecturers elo.
quent words. brilliant wit and keen satire,
would utterly fail to do the subject Justice.
We believe this was the sixth time Col.
Copeland appeared before Chambersburg
audience, and every time his hearers become
more numerous. We hope to have the
pleasure soon to announce another appear
ance of the gifted and popular lecturer"

A Doctors Great Loss Of Medicine.

DR.. Porter, of Liberty, had smash up last
Friday evening. He hitched his horse at
DIR. Clough's to attend choir meeting, and
and when ready to go found he had no horse.
The horse had got loose and taken to his legs
or wings, for he is the kind Of a horse that
flies through the air, SO they did not know
WvheTe TO look for him. They finally went to
Mr.. hunts orchard. There fragments of
the carriage and broken bottles conld be seen
IN all directions. The estimated damage to
the carriage is fifty dollars. The doctor says
ne Is unable to make an accurate estimate Of
MS loss by the destruction Of his medicine
cnest, out thinks II would be about as fol-
nifty cents; but could he have had the priv
llege OF dispensing them to his patients it
would have cost them fifty dollars at least.
