lege bringing information concerning the
alumni dow almost to date has appeared in
neat and intelll gible form and contains
the names, residence, academic de-
grees and civil honors of Bowdoin's alumni
Prof. Geo T. Little, II. librarian, is the
compiler. 1t has been a long time since the
college has been given a more beautiful and
appropriate gift than that which Gen. Thos.
IL. Hubbard of the class of 1857, has this
day caused To be placed on the walls OF
Memorial Hall ten brass tablets with raised
letters mounted upon black marble TO fill the
psuels along the eastern side of the hall Il
is a suggestive fact that the delicate tracing
surrounding the tablet contains eighty speci.
mems of the foliage of Maine.
The names of the men who tough, among
the troops of the various States are here col
lected under the roster of their own respec-
vr cls-es. Frequently one reads of the
name after the State and regiment such
words a. died in service. ""mortally wound-
ed at Fredericksburg, Va killed in action
at Cedar Mountain, Va =, and killed in
sction at Gettysburg" 1t is difficult to
imagine nobler tribute than this which

ILL PATED JOHNSTOWN.
The RaHasss Of The Flood Supplemented
BY the Fire Piend.
twenty-five Houses and Much Prop
erty are Totally Destroyed

JoHSsTowS, Pa. June "a
sweeping fire broke out in the first ward
this afternoon. The flames spread rapidly
and al one O'Clock twenty houses were burn
ing. Among those on FIRE is the first ward
school house All the engines in the place
have been called out and the most intense
excitement prevails.
/ The hre which broke out shortly after
noon in the first ward, consumed all but
three of the buildings in the district bounded
by Market and Walnut streets. the main
street and the river Twenty five houses
were totally destroyed, including large
brick school house.
Many of the buildings DESTROYED had been
washed from their foundations and many
contained household goods saved from the
no cd. But small amount of these goods
were saved. The fire is supposed to have
originated from sparks flying from the burn
ing debris in the neighborhood.
The Philadelphia FIRE companies were on
duty and fought the flames, which for a time
got beyond control, but were subdued by
tearing down houses in their path. The loss
is not fixed
Notwithstanding the small force of work.
employed, the ruins were reduced nearly
one-half today. 4 remarkable showing was
made in the way of clearing up wreckage.
One heavy blast followed another in the
debris above the railroad bridge. Manager
Philips says he will have the place cleared
up by Thursday. Vsriols workingmen's
camps were thoroughly renovated tolay in
accordance with the request of Surgeon
General Reed All superfnus straw and
garbage about the camps were burned today.
Workmen who remain here removed into the
choicest quarters. Early tomorrow morning
tents now occupied by dischargrged men will
be taken down by a squad of soldiers.
This afternoon between two and three
charges of dynamite exploded near the sec
ond arch of the bridge From the great
body of wreckage tossed INTO the air pieces
of human bodies flew in all directions. The
remnants afterwari gathered together indi-
Gated that at least six corpses were blown
up Much drift dislodged at the stone
bridge lodged at various places, extending
as far below as Coopersdale. In some places
the channel of the Conemsugh river is mar
rowed to a few feet and turned from the
channel. Men were put TO work this morn
ing removing these distractions, which have
rendered useless great part of the work at
the bridge. 1t is thought that the stream be-
low tht big drift will hereafter be kept open
SO that the debris once started will go down
river without interruption.

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT T.
Salient Features of Secretary Tracy's
Annual Report.

The first annual report of Secretary
Tracy shows that our navy now consists OF
eleven arnnored and thirtyone unarmored
vessels. A comparison made between the
speed of our crack cruiser. the Charleston an
average of 1872 knots for four hours and
cruisers of equal horsepower of other Gov
ernments, is to the advantage of the Charles
ton. The printing of table of the navies
of the world shows that much remains to be
done to make our navy formidable.
Secretary Tracy believes that the United
States need two fleets of armored sea-going
or battle ships, one feet of eight on the
Pacific coast and one of twelve on the At
lantic, with twenty harbor defence vessels
in addition. These vessels could be sup
piled in twelve or fifteen years. Con-
struction should begin at once. The future
navy should consist of twenty battle ships
twenty coast defense ships and sixty cruis-
ers. The establishment of reserve service
of cruisers to be taken from the fast mer-
chant steamers in time of necessity is
recommended. Further building of small
cruisers like the Yorktown is not advised.
''They have neither the strength to fight nor
the speed to run away" The early const1uc-
tion of five torpedo boats of the first and sec
ond class is urged. Plans for the armored
cruisers of $500 tons and the steel cruising
monitor will soon be ready.
tits recommended that enlistments be for
life, with the privilege of retiring on half
pay at the end of thirty years. This reform,
it is thought, would increase the number of
native Americans in the service. The i'm
provement of the navy yard is dwelt upon.
Fifteen millions worth of old stores should be
sold to provide the requisite funds for the
purpose.

THOMAS B. RXED.

Congressman Tom Reed, OF Maine. was
nominated in the Republican caucus on the
second ballot for Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and was elected when Con-
greSs opened.
Mr.. Reeds career has been a somewhat I'M.
,eventful one, being marked by little beyond
his steady political promotion He was born
IN Ine old seaport city of Portland on the
18th OF October 1889. He was educated at
Bowdoin College, at Brunswick Maine.
Where he graduated at the age of twenty-one.
Inns was In the year preceding the out
break OF the Civil War and during the first
part OF that conflict Mr.. Reed was engaged
IN the study of law. In 1864, however. ON
the 18th OF April, he accepted an appoint
ment as acting assistant paymaster in the
United States navy, an Office which he con-
tlnued to hold for more than eighteen
months
On leaving the navy in November, 1865,
a1ter the close of the war; Mr.. Reed returned
to his legal studies, and was soon afterward
admitted to the bar of his native State. He
commenced to practice his profession in
Portland; but he took so active an interest
In public affairs, and his talents drew
him so rapidly to the front, that with
MN law soon became subordinate to
pohtlcs. In 1868 he was elected to the Maine
house OF Representatives, and after serving
Tor two years in that body became a member
OF the State Senate i'll 1870 Then for three
successive years he was Acknowledgement of
Maine and for four more years City Solicitor
of Portland
lie was first elected to the National Legis-
lature IN 1876, when the First District of his
State chose him as its representative in the
Forty-hfth Congress. He has been at Wash
lngton continuously from that time. and is
now the foremost Republican member of the
lower house.

Strange legends hover over these
