A REPRESENTATIVE of the SENTI-
MEL was in the east end one day
this week and soon become so ex-
hausted with handling the contri-
buttons to the SENTINEL, that he
was fain to seek place of rest and
quiet. He didn't want to be killed
with over work. SensIbly he sought
the seclusion of McKay's sanctum.
Here he found our friend Tom Allen
calculating the situation at Murry
City in case the hills OH both sides
of the valley gently sloped the other
way than the way they do slope
gently. Bro. Mckay was revising
a list Of names he had secured from
the tomb stones in the old grave
yard, intending, perhaps, to issue
special edition, devoted to the
tenements on or in the silent city.
Perhaps this is the purpose. Our
representative, need it be said,
found quiet and undisturbed repose.

PirTsBuRG. Pa, June 6.-As7special
from Titusville to the Times. says
Titusville was, Sunday, visited by one
OF the most appalling fires and over
whelming floods in the history of this
country, A conservative estimate
places the number OF lives lost at fully
tw nty five from fire and drow;ng AS
near as can be gathered from reports as
they come in, the loss by destruction OF
property will aggregate fully 81, 100000.
All this loss is in this city. with the sur
rounding country yet to be heard from.
A large number OF the most extensive
and prosperous manufacturing estab-
lishmen;s now lay in ashes, while the
str, cts are filed with crowd of hun

people, mourning the loss OF loved ones
in the rush OF waters or the fiery bill
lows of flames which engulIed them al
most in the tw.nkling OF an eye as they
were struggling in the vain endeavor to
save their homes.
AT this writing the sky is filled with
deense and pitchy clouds oil smoke, aris-
ing rom the smouldering ruins of refin-
cries, cooper shops, furniture factories,
radiator works, hotels railroad ware
houses, cars dwellings. etc, while the
waters of Oil Creek are

natural gas mains have Leen turned oil

eventually they went down to rise no

The Comet is Due to Give Us Taste OF
Its Quality.
CHICAGO, Nov. &c If Biela' comet, il
the fiery wanderer in space which is
now attracting so much attention really
is Biela's, is to collide with this planet
the ceremonies will be over by 10 o'clock
next Sunday evening.
Professor Elias Colbert, who is observ-
ing the comet closely, has this to say
upon the subject:
"lf anyone is afraid of the conse-
quences of a collision with the comet
he may reassure himself after 9:45 Sun
day night. AS near as can be computed
the earth will be at that point in its
orbit which is crossed by the Biela
comet at $3.50 Sunday evening, provid ed
there has been no shift in the position
Of the plane of the comets orbit in the
last forty years. If there has been such
a change it would be slight retrograd-
alton, making the latest limit of posi-
BILE contact earlier than above stated.
"While [ have no means of knowing
the exact position of the comet tonight
Thursday, owing to cloudy weather,
it seems probable that the comet is NOV
ing toward us in spite of assertions to
the contrary and that it must cross the
earth's orbit, but possibly not until
some days after our earth has got be-
yond the collision point, if there be any.
1.-THE comet ought to have moved
more than degree in position between
8 o'clock Tuesday night and the
same time last Wednesday, night, pro-
vided that it be due to cross the earth g
orbit not later than Sunday evening,
while an indistinct observation of it
through the haze does not warrant the
belief that it has changed its position by
as much as degree

The Australian Ballot.

The election just passed reveals the
fact that the good people of this
country can't get along well
without the Australian ballot law.
They need it in their business and
must have more of it. The Dortch
law in Tennessee is nothing more
than a modification of the Austria
liam system. OF course there is a
small difference in the way man
votes under the two laws, but they
are aimed at the same vote, and are
equally successful in carrying out the
designs of the trainers. The DOrtch
law in this State has done more to
purify elections than any law passed
on this question since the war, and
it should not only remain On the
statutes of the State, but it should be
amended 50 as to take in broader
scope of territory. 1T should be
made applicable to every voting
precinct in the State, and after it has
been enacted into law it should be
enforced. The Republican party, of
course, is against this law, and for
this reason all Democrats should be
for it, il there was no other argument
in its favor. The intelligence of a
country should not be over ridden
by illiteracy. This law places the
reins of government at the disposal
of honest, intelligent people of the
State, and is barrier against any
kind Of corruption at the polls.
The incoming Legislature should see
to it that the Dortch law is given a
broader scope in the State. The ne
cessities of the hour demand 1t.

Hon. Duncan B. Cooper.

Before all the rejoicing is over, and
while others are being thanked by
the Democracy;of Tennessee for their
valuable assistance, there is one man
who above all Others is entitled to
swell done, thah good and faithful
servant" from every Democrat in
Tennessee for his maIchless service
and courage in the hour of the
party's most serious trouble, and that
man is Col. D. B. Cooper, Of Nash
vile, Tenn. When the star of De-
mocracy was buried beneath a dark
and heavy cloud, when many OF the
old commanders and all the boys in
the bitches had about lost hope and
feared the party of Jackson and JEFF
ferson was about to be stabbed to
death in the house OF its friend, this
man fearlessly and boldly sounded
the battle cry, threw down the
gauntlet and called upon all honest,
fearless and true Democrats to line
up and redeem from the power of
Buchanan, Mcdowell and such
men the party of the people. The
boys did line up, and the
word went down the line "to ask
no quarter and show no quarter"
and when finally Old Pete Turney
was made the commander and "none
but Democrats" were put on guard,
the power of right gave strength to
the weakest, and this was the begin
ming of grand achievement, but
Cooper and his great newspaper were
also the recognized leaders of the
Cleveland supporters in Tennessee,
and from start to finish OF the great
campaign, and in the face of bitter
opposition at times, he was the
strongest advocate in Tennessee OF
Cleveland's nomination. The Dem
ocracy of Tennessee owes him debt
1t will never be able to fully repay,
We are for him, and Colonel, if you
need us, call. We have over two
thousand of the old guard down here
and they are yours to command.
