The Cambria Iron Company has been
invited by Reading to locate branch of
its new works in that city. This is the
only intimation the GAZETTE has heard
that conflicts in any degree with the gem
eral understanding that the company is
getting ready as fast as it can to recon-
struct its extensive plant in its former
entirety at Johnstown. But II it should
be in contemplation to establish any por-
tion of its works elsewhere, certainly
Wilmington can offer greater advantages
than Reading. We have excellent water
navigation, which Reading has mot; we
are on the line Of the two great rail-
road systems, the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore & Ohio; we have superior
manufacturing sites to offer with ten
years exemption from taxation thrown
In; we have great iron ship-building, car
wheel and machinery interests; really the
advantages seem to be all on the aids of
Wilmington. If any such movement as
Reading has invited is in prospect, let
our Board OF Trade communicate with
the Cambria company at once.

NEW YoBK, June l2.--John ]. Maroney
and Charles Mcdonald, the two Olan-na.
Gael men who were arrested here yester-
day by Inspector Byrnee at the request Of
the Chicago authorities will be again
taken 70 the Tombs at 5 p. m, for the
purpose merely Of being further rsmsnded
until the arrival OF the Chicago officers
with the necessary papers In the case.
Mr.. Roe, well.known Nationalist,
called at the central ofioe last night and
was permitted TO held short converse
tion With Mcdonald. This morning a
well.dressed man who refused to give his
name called upon the inspector to inquire
after the prisoners. Maroney, Il appears,
has expressed his willingness TO go to
Chicago and face the charge Of murder
which he believes has been preferred
against him, asserting In the most positive
language that he 10 entirely innocent OF
the crime. Msroney uses every endeayor
to create the Impression that he knows
more abont the murder OF DR.. Oronin
than be is willing to tell here. The in
apeotor, however, does not appear TO
place much confidence in what this man
l
says.
AS on yesterday, the representatives Of
the daily press are positively refused m
interview with the prisoners Inspector
Byrnes holds that inasmrch rs tho pris.
oners are merely In his custody awaiting
the arrival of the Chicago officers, he has
no power to grant any such privilege.
Even IL be had, the inspector says, II
would DO bad breach Of courtesy, TO say
the least, to permit newspaper men to
talk with the accused before the officers
who are on their way from Chicago have
had an opportunity Of speaking with the
men.
The mysterious man who was taken to
police headquarters lastnight and who was
supposed to be In some way connected
with Maroney and Mcdonald turns out
to be man who was arrested on tie
suspicion that he had committed rob-
beTy.

The first auditor Of the treasury ought,
o'hsr things being equal, to be an honest
maa, and known 10 BE- one. There could
%, We should say, no more eontemptuouB
Insult to the people OF the United States
thaa to put In this place OF delicate trust
and responsibility man OF scandalous
reputation, believed by those familiar with
nus career to be the comrade and friend OF
tniepe8 and scoundrels. EXACTLY why Mr..
Harrison has named to this cffice George
Z. Fisher OF Delaware, man driven from
the district attorneyship Ia Washington by
the exposure OF his connection with frauds
OF the vileat sort, we do not pretend to
know. MIR. Harrison would agree with us
that II should require very powerful
motive indeed TO induce an honest Presi-
dent to make such an appointment. He
would not agree with as, probably, that no
good motive can be imagined for II. In
this situation he would perhaps relieve
himself OF much suspicion II he would
frankly tell the public what his motive was,
On the other hand, he might only confirm
the beiiel that this act, like many others,
was due 10 his desire TO promote hts own
political ends, to start a "Harrison ma
chine" IN Delawars.--Nelo Fork Times.
The impression in Delaware Ia that IL
President Harrison would frankly ex.
plain he would say that the appointment
OF Judge Fisher was made at the solicita-
ton of Senator Higgins and upon the
representation Of Mr.. Higgins that the
judge could be made useful in some mys-
terious way to the party In Delaware, by
which those who know MIR. Higgins
better than President Harrison appears to
would understand him to refer to the
higgins wing of the party. There is some
mild curiosity, however, here OF Mr.. Hig-
gins home which that gentleman has 1t
in his power to crafty by explaining in
what manner he expects to derive any
benefit through such misuse Of the APP
pointing power. 1t is Of course apparent
that it may please Beniah Watson and
some Of his Kent county negroes, but is
it good politics in Mr.. Higgins to admin
lister such Notifying slap in the face to
the decent Republicans of Delaware In
order to make himself solid with this ele-
mentf However this ia Mr.. Higgins
funeral, and those who sent him to WASH
ington will have to make the best OF it.
Still they are to be credited with ina.
bility to imagine that even Mr.. Higgins
would have urged the appoiatment of
Judge Fisher. For, as the Times says,
there could be no more contemrtuous

S.ates.n

Disaster Liiso That at Johnsto svn.
RoLYoKE, MASS, June ll.--A disaster
which might have been nearly a. fatal 40
that at Johnstown occurred here this
evening. Three canals supply the WATER
power for the mills. The water broke
through the raeewAy at the Cabot Btreea
mill, demolishing the southern part OF
the building and carrying away the rail-
way bridge like kindling wood. The
falling Of the building attracted many
thousands. Only for the lower canal TO-
empty into, the water would have sub.i
merged the entire lower part Of the city.
The canal contains 100 times 40 muuh
water as the Johpstown reservoir dld.
The damage will amount ID probably
100000 aud will necsssitats the closing
of all the mills until repaired.
