FIRE IN UNIONTOwN.
The Central Presbyterian Church in

Origin but no Clue TO the Firebug.

Special Correspondence.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, Nov. l3.-The Cen
trial Presbyterian Church OF this city is
almost a complete ruin, having been
destroyed by fire at - 80 this a. m, the
origin Of which is mystery. The Cen
trail Presbyterian church was organized
in September, 1898, with membership
of fifty. LAST February Rev DIR. Seth
r. Gordon, of Pittsburg, was called to
the pastorate and took charge at once.
To show the amount of work done by
DR.. Gordon and his small congregation
we may say that the membership has
increased TO 100. They purchased the
First Presbyterian church property for
the sum Of Sl4 600 and have made re-
pairs to the amount of So 900, hav-
ing built an alcove and newly freseoed,
carpeted, and put new pews, lights, etc,
into the building. The carpet was being
made and would have been tackled down
in day or two, but for the fire. This
morning it all lies in ruins The pews
were not vet placed in the church
The whole town seems in deep SYM
pathy with DR.. Gordon and his eongre-
cation. There was an insurance Of eight
thousand dollars on the building

The Forrest City times., 1894-08-03

AT the recent meeting of the Arkan- sas republicans Tn Little Rock, Gen. Powell Clayton is said to have deliv- cred one of the best speeches of his life Among other things, he denounced the Populists as an aggregation of anar- chists, communists and cranks, and predicted dire disaster to the nation when. if ever, that party came in pow CT. He much preferred democrats of the Grover Cleveland pattern. The POpnlists, he said, will poll surpris- ingly large vote throughout the State and country. It is due to the prevail ing unrest and uncertainty, which causes the people to reach out in any direction where relief is promised. Gen. Clayton said he firmly believed that were it not for the timely action of President Cleveland in sending troops to Chicago during the recent strike, this country today would be in a state of in- surrectiOn. His speech settled the fusion matter, and was vigorously ap- plauded.

THAT was mean trick the populists served on A. c. Wood. Mir. Wood, you know, is the candidate of whom Bill Williams says "at the present time he don't know which one of the boys he is." When the pops held their con- vention Monday, Mir. Wood, who by the way, wants to be sheriff, was on the qui vive, and at the proper time was called before the caucus. The caucus. you know, settles things for the pops and when he got there" the caucus put him on the witness stand. It is said that he wanted their endorse ment, and this answers to all questions were very satisfactory, which means that he endorses that party, from the Omaha platform. fiat money and gov ernment owership of railroads, down to Barker for governor and Sweet for senator. But after he. had swallowed this dose. the confounded caucus shelv- ed him and endorsed Mcknight. This was too bad, too bad. We presume that Mir. Wood will now withdraw from the race. If he don't, we conG- dently predict that Bill Williams will get more votes than he and Mcknight combined.

Ion. Wm. Manning, of Goodwin

Hon. Wm. Manning, of Goodwin. has an eye to business. He declined the nomination for State Land Con- missioner on the Populist ticket. d few days ago, with the fond hope that he would be sent to the legislature from this county. He knew there was abso- lutely no chance to secure the former office, and on the 4th of September he will learn that Dr. Matthews has clos. ed out mortgage on the latter.

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE.

THE following from Birmingham, Ala, dated July 29, and published in the Commercial Appeal, shows that the Democrats of that state are in line with those of Arkansas on the great democratic principle of equal and exact justice to all men, regardless Of race, color or previous condition:
 "The leading colored ministers of AL abama recently held conference here and decided to give the support of their race to the political party that enforced the Jaw requiring seperate coaches for the two races. and that gave like punish ment for like offenses both to negroes and whites that enacted laws protect ing negro women from of licentiOus whites and blacks, and pledged them selves to maintain law aud order. Their demands were submitted to State Chairman Tompkins of the Democratic ticket, who answered that the Democratic party would grant them.
 To day the ministers issued an ad- dress to their race in the State saying that as they must look to majority of the best element of the white people for protection. it is important that all negroes vote tor the Democratic ticket and urging them to do so."
 The separate coach law of Arkansas is democratic law and so are many others equally as important to the col- ored population.
 We the Democratic Executive Con- mittee heartily endorse the above and pledge ourselves to that end.

centennial of the National Capital.

When the year 1900 arrives it will be In order to celebrate the centennial of the establishment here of the national capital The celebration should not be a small affair, nor ought it to be mere feeting show--a day of processions, bands, banners and oratory. It should be an exposition of what this nation has done in the 100 years since its seat of government was taken possession of by the few officials who then directed affairs The exposition of 1909 should be compact and select Preliminary ex- aminations by competent experts should determine the worthiness of pro- posed exhibits and only the best ought to be given space. An international exposition at that time would conflict with more than one European endeavor Tn the same line. aside from that rather important consideration, it would un- doubtedly be better to make the affair national rather than international - Washington Star.
