BLAZE AT JERMYN.
Ten Families Are Made Homeless by
Disastrous Fire.

A disastrous fire, consuming three
double and two single houses, oc-
CURED at 1.3O yesterday morning,
leaving ten families homeless. The fire
broke out on Hill street in the hotel
of George Chichura. The family were
sound asleep at the time and were not
awakened until the fire had gained
great headway. The flames spread
rapidly to two houses owned by
Michael Wadika and single houses
owned by Fred Smith and Tony Wroth.
which were very close to the hotel.
The Walker Hose company were soon
upon the scene, but had to devote their
time to saving adjoining buildings. The
families losing most of their possess
sions are in destitute circumstances.
Some of the unfortunates are being
sheltered by the neighbors, and one or
two families are said to be camping
near the ruins. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but many of the residents
believe that 1T was the work of tramps,
who have been hanging around that
vicinity.

fashionable festivities, and it has now be.
come the great social world. Receptions

wildering rapidity.
The state of the Cuban question and,A the
possibilities of Congressional action is also

GOVERNOR WATsoE's message to
the General Assembly is far above the
average of such documents and its
recommendations merit careful peru
sal OF the citizens OF the State. How
be reconciles his votes for u. S.
Senator on May oh, 1895, with the
following from his message, is difficult
to understand
Although it is not for the execu-
tive to participate in the enactment Of
laws, nor his wish to interfere with you
in the discharge of your executive
functions, yet the constitution eDj0ins
upon him the duty of giving to you
information of affairs concerning the
State, land Of recommending to your
consideration such measures as he shall
deem expedient.v
The inconsistency of the Democratic
contention that the Governor (having
been Speaker) has right to vote In the
General Assembly is shown from the
fact that Mr.. Watson is not now a
State Senator, hence can be no longer
Speaker, and yet be. is our Governor,
and will be until Mr.. Tunnel is swoln
in on Tuesday, January 10Th.

shop. and an upright piano will be found

The great object of this tour is to escape
the insalubrious climate of the East and to
sojourn for time amid the transcendent
beauties of California, breathe its inyigor-
ating air and bask beneath its matchless
sky. A grander attraction could not be
offered, nor more perfect method of reach
ing it.

adise of the Pacific" during which tourists
will visit Los Angeles, Pasadena, "Ye Al
