TITUsvILLE, PA, June There was a
report about O'Clock this morning that
I'VE additional bodies had been recovered
from the burnt district at Mechanic and
Washington streets. Investigation, how
ever, proved II was only a rumor. A large
force Of workmen are employed in this sec
ton and as they proceed with their work
the probabilities are they will come across
the eharred remains of several more lust as
last as the work can be done. The rem
nants OF tanks, dwellings and shops are be-
ing removed.
The land where the property and lives
were destroyed, is low lying and the men

doing the work assigned them. The coro-
ner's Jury this morning made trip over
the ground where the lives were lost, pick
irg up information which may be ef SER
vice to them when they come TO examine
into this calamity. The men on the jury
are among the best citizens here and are
thoroughly familiar with both the property
and people whose lives were lost.
They have no doubt whatever that the
disaster could not be averted and that it
was the hand of providence that smOte the
town, but nevertheless they intend making
a thorough and complete examination. The
Board of Health has taken the matter of
intermeat in hand and passed the following
resolutions:
RssOlred-That in view of the dangers to
the public health that NAV arise from de-
layed interment of the dead from the re-
cent calamity, it is ordered that all bodies
ready for burial be inferred on Tuesday,
June :, and the remainder be inferred on
the following day.
Rcsolred, That all bodies found after this
date DO buried within II hours after dis
covery.
Res0lUed, That the Health Officer Of the
Board be and he is hereby instructed 10 see
that this order is carried out.
BY order of the board of the Board Of
Health,

lishments this morning failed to elicit any

buried in Woodlawn cemet-ry this

Compensation for Slaves,

The colored editor of the Raleigh
Gazette, John II. Williamson, has a
brand new political platform be
gotten of his brain, upon which he
announces himself as a candidate
for Congress. This platform is
composed of one plank--compensa.
ton to former Shareholders for the
slaves taken from them in the civil
war. He says he has letters from
all parts of the country fayoring
these views, and he appears to be-
lieve that the national conscience is
about to awake to the rights of the
plundered planters.
This claim is stale. If the nation
al conscience were going to take
this matter up it would have done
so a good while ago. Surprising
the Shareholders to have been once
entitled to compensation, they are
SO no longer. Issues eventually die,
and after life has adjusted itself to
new conditions, it is idle to attempt
to revive the old.
Mr.. Williamson's scheme, how
ever, contains on feature that reveals
its true inwardness. The spectacle
of a negro editor devotiug his
energies to secure compensation TO
the former owners of slaves would
be sufficiently remarkable, were it
not for the following paragraph in
his eatechism; 81 PROPOSE" he says,
"as further mark of justice, that
the money appropriated be equally
divided between the former master
and slave, or their heirs at law"
All! Mr.. Williamson, why thus
shatter our dreams of your heroic
disinterestedness? And how con
sistent is this proposal? The slave
holder is to be paid because he was
robbed of his property, but
moiety of the money is to be given
to somebody else. Editor William
sons enterprise will surely be popu-
lar among the negro population of
the South. Who that proposed a
universal largesse was ever un-

saws the n. Y. sun.
Last winter one of the kings reIa-
tives took to him from Vienna TOW
squirtgun which he was expected to
use in watering his garden. The
squlrtgan became at once the kings
pet toy, and he did not hesitate to find
all sorts of uses for it which were not
conducive to the comfort of his little
playmates or to the dignity of the
women of the court A few weeks
ago at the grand garden party Alfonso
half hid himself behind a shrub and
shouted at big general 10 light blue
and gold uniform The general ap-
preached the shrub, and Alfonso held
up handful Of flowers to induce him
to come nearer When close to the
shrub the point of the kings Viennese
squirtgun suddenly appeared in the
leaves, aud in a second the fine light
blue and gold uniform was spotted
and dripping. The general backed
quickly out of range, aud before
Alfonso could reload aud follow up his
victory was safe from further HOSTILE
ties and under the protecting eye of
the queen regent.
Alfonso then tried to lure into am
bush Mgr. Ratfaelle Merry de Val, son
of the Spanish ambassador at Vienna.
but the young prelate had seen the
generals plight and was wary enough
to keep several persons between him
and his sovereign all the rest of the
afternoon.
On the following day it was decided
at the royal palace that a masculine
hand was needed to lie heavy on
Alfonso, and the cautious Mgr Merry
de Val was selected to train his
majesty.

Living on a Dollar a Week.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, if not exactly
making two blades of grass grow
where one grew before, like DR.. John
sons typical benefactor. is trying hard
to make 81 in food preparation do the
work of 81 which would be great
deal better. He declares in a recent
publication the cost of food material
absorbs half the income of niue-tenths
of our people; that the waste of food
amounts to more than all the cloth
made in our factories and that we
consume pound of coal for every
pound OF food that is cooked for our
breakfast and dinner tables. We cook
in the United States. he says, at least
IS. GOO 100000 worth of meat fish,
grain and vegetables in a year, and Of
that sum we lose Sl,00O,000 600 by bad
cookery.
Being light eater, and subsisting
on 81 week for food alone, Mr.. At
kinson prefers the oil or gas stove to
the ponderous range or cook
stove, which he thinks an invention
OF Satan. He adds this calculations:
| gave a seven course dinner to my
whist club and friends, including or
anges and coffee, which cost Is cents
each for the food material | gave "A
dinner OF four courses, soup, fish,
meat and vegetables, and mush with
molasses for desert to nine of the
poorer students at Harvard who want
to economize; there were also three
others; each had a pound and a half Of
strong food, and the cost of twelve was
81 cents Aud yet the authorities
made us pay 81 each for our COM
mencement dinner of four courses Il
month ago!
The miracle of the five loaves and
two small fishes is not repeated yet
by MIR. Atkinson but be is making
approaches toward it.-BoSton AdUer-
