Forty Years Ago the American Saviors
Came Into Existence.

Washington, Feb. 22.-This was the
existence of the republican party, and
was celebrated in large number of
important cities. Tonight grand an
niversary meeting was held under the
auspices of the Union Republican Club,
of this city, for which preparations
have long been in progress. Two weeks
since President Thomas j. LASER re-
ceived letter from Senator II. II. Car
ter, chairman of the republican nation
al committee, saying, in part:
According to your esteemed letter of
recent date, stating your intention of
celebrating the 10th anniversary of the
republican party, l beg leave to say

mendation. | deem the selection so APP
propriate that l take the liberty to ad-

address to all republican club organiZa-

brate the 10th anniversary of the party
organization In a fitting manner
The speakers at the local celebration
this evening included Senators Haw-

Congressman Boutelle of Maine. Brum

kins of California, Towne of Minnesota

On February %, 1856, gathering of
republicans was held at Pittsburg, at
which nearly all the free and several
| of the border states were represented.
| At that gathering a national organiza-
ton for the party was framed, and a

The fire, although fierce one, was
confined to the Armiger residence.
which was completely Quilted. No esti-
mate has been made of the loss. but 1t
is thought the contents were worth at
least $4,000. The house Is insured for
$780,
News of the disaster spread with
wonderful rapidity over the city and in
an hour a tremendous crowd had gath
cred in front of the house. Prayers for
the dead and afflicted were lifted up In
almost every church in the city, and
expressions of sincere sympathy and
regret were uttered from every pulpit
and repeated in the households of many
friends and acquaintances of the I'M
fortunate family.
The scene in the parlor of DR.. Bach
elor's residence where the bodies we're
carried, were narrowing. Even the I'M
dertakers and their assistants, used to
scenes of death, turned away at this,
half sickened.
Mr.. Armiger was burned to crisp
around the upper part of his body. The
white hair about his venerable head
was matted with blood and cinders.
Mr. Riley died from burns and suf
location. The burns were chiefly about
his face, neck and shoulders. His face
was terribly distorted and wore an ex-
preston of awful agony. His left leg
and side were slightly burned, and
there was q livid fire mark across his
chest.
Mr. Manuel was terribly burned and
his horribly SCARED face and body was
twisted to one side, as though he had
died only after making a supreme eff
fort for life.
Cleaning in startling contrast with
Manuers left hand. glistened a hand
some ring shaped like a snake, with a
glittering gem in the center of the
head.

| Armiger. A woman standing near the
| parlor door in the hall tainted. The
| child was a blackened cnder. Smoke
| and fire had done their fearful work.
Even the throat and nostrils were burn
| ed inside.
The two Riley children were killed

| were blackened from the bursting of
| blood vessels, and the crimson fluid
| stained their blackened night gowns.

Bachelor in a semi-stupor, seemingly

suffering great physical agony. The
physician says, however, that her
wounds are more painful than serious
and that the only obstacle to her re-

sustained, and will again experience
when the full knowledge of the dread
ed thing which has come to her makes
