THE WEAVERS’ STRIKE. — ‘The employers in the Accrington District have determined, if the Blackburn strike continues, to stop their mills Thursday, Friday, and Satur- day of each week. Lonpvox, May 15.—The lockout at Blackburn to-day will make 30,000 operatives idle. The mills will not be reopened until the operatives in a body are ready to resume work. The Black- purn masters agreo with those of the other towns of the district in professing their inability to grant the 5 per cent of ndvance in wages de- manded by the men, and also object to a refer- ence of the matter to arbitrators, who, they affirm, would either grant the advance or ‘make , some other compromise, to which the mill- owners could not submit in the Fen state of trade. Blackburn, in a fair condition of trade, turns out more than $10,000,000 worth of manu- factured cotton goods annually. LIBEL SUIT ENDED. ‘The criminal prosecution for libel instituted br lane against Labouchiere, editor of the , resulted in a verdict for the defendant. Chief-Justice Cockburn charged strongly against the prosecutor. pointing out the failure of Lambri to call witnesses ta rebut the evi- dence of defendant's witneases, which mado out @prima-facio case against him. Either these itnesses or Lambri committed willful perjury, and the jury must decide which they would be- Neve. The jury were out balf an hour. They found the prosecutor had played foully and won, money in a specific case proved by defendant; that he conspired with Belhard and Guagni to come to England and win money by card-sharp- ing: and that he falsely assumed the title of Pasha to gain access to the clubs. The jury awarded the costs against the prosecutor, equiva- Yent to saying Lambri's entire testimony was SIR JOHN LUBBOCK, who sat for Maidstone in the last Parliament, remains the only Liberal candidate for London University, the Liberal graduates showing a ‘arge majority for him. THE TAY BRIDGE. The ninth of the fallen girders of the Tay $ridge has been lifted from the water. There was an expansion joint at the north end of this girder, and the condition of the iron-work, to- gether with the fact that part of the permanent yoadway on the adjoining span was torn away, -dndicates that the bridge first gave way at the South end.

Lrverpoou, May 15.—Sir Bartle Frere has ten- dered ue resignation as Governor of the Cape of lope. RUSSIA. YOR FINANCIAL REASONS. Special Cable to The Tribune. Lorpox, May 15.—A Berlin correspondent @ays: Barely bas the value of Russian semi- official denials been more glaringly illustrated than on the occassion of the decree for the expulsion of the Jews. Twenty-four hours after the news transpired at Berlin it was by the Russian Semi-Official Telegraphic Agency represented as a sensational fabri- eation, absdlutely unfounded, and apparently invented for a purpose; but it is learned that the Konigsberg Corpora- tion of Merchants had heard enough of the busi- nessfrom persons affected by the decree to cause them to institute inquiries at Berlin. Owing, it appears, to Russian financiers pleading the inndvisability of the step onthe eveof ao new loan, the order was quickly withdrawn. A TERRIBLE {neident from Nihilist life is reported from the Russian district of Putiloff. At the moment of. Ais arrest a young nobleman was shot by his own father.

FRANCE. POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Pants, May 15.—Tho Chamber of Deputies con- Biste of about 460 active members; 140 belong to the Bight, 140 to the Left Centre and Pure Left, W890 tw the Advanced Left, and 40 to the Extreme Ieft. Half the Advanced Left consistently sup- Poyt the Government, while the other half are Jed by Floquet, Brissou. and Bert (Republicans), ‘¥ho want office, and are willing to overturn the Cabinet eren by coalition with the Right. The Bonspartists and Monarchists are always willing Yo overthrow the Cabinet, believing constant changes and turmoil will disgust the people with the Republic, and the Extreme Left is ready to Use any means to exhaust the Moderates, hence the danger of an adverse coalition vote. It is delieved, however, Premicr De Freycinet will Deable to hold out either until the legal term for the elections, or until the plainly irreconcili- Die attitude of the Chamber renders a dissolu- ton inevitable. _In the Chi be prof Deputies to day the debate le Cham eputies to- le del was resumed on ihe Public Meetings bill. ‘The Minister of Justice pro} a compromise sot- the difficulty about the right to dissolve meetings thus: A Commissary of Police shalt have the right _to attend the meetings and warn those present. but not to dissolve the meetings.

Loxpox, May 15.—A Berlin correspondent says: Hundreds of parisbes are without priests and no now ones can be nominated until the Bishops are willing to submit the names of the candidates to the Government. It is, there- fore, believed in Government circles that tho Pope is inclined to give in, as he foars the ower of the Papacy in Europe might be shaken y longer delay. To retstablish this power the Pope is said to be willing to make, for the mo- ment, some sacrifices, and. also some important concessions. In this policy, however, the Po will encounter resistance from the Jesuits.” THE WEEK. ENGLISH POLITICS. Special Cable. Loxpon, May 15.—This has been an unlucky weck for the Government. Three separate events have considerably impaired its prestige, —Sir William Harcourt’s defeat, Mr. Fawcett's enforced retraction of his mistaken charge against the late Ministry, and Mr. Gladstone's apology to- Austiia: Sir William Harcourt's defeat is really of little consequence, and was due partly to his personal unpopularity, and partly to the the thirstiness of the Oxford eleotorsand the good quality of Hull's beer. Nothing is yet settled respecting Sir William Harcourt’s future seat, but there are plenty offering. Mr. Fawcett’s mistake arose from trust- ing unofficial information, though proceeding from the Indian Office. He spoke hcedlesly, without acquatnting Lord Hartington of his in- tention, and rightly asserted the existence of a deficiency, but he wrongly accused the Minis- ters of having knowledge of that deficit before the elections. Hartington immediately in- formod Fawcett that he was mistaken, and in- sisted that he should publish a letter ACKNOWLEDGING THE ERROR, which Mr. Fawcett did in grudging terms, mak- ing a bad impression. ‘Mir. Gladstone was vastly surprised on discov- ering that his letter to Count Kurolyi was regarded as too submissive. He attached slight importance to the apologetic portion, especially as it was not telegraphed before he had extracted the important pledge from Russia that she would not attempt to go beyond the limits prescribed in the Berlin Troaty in the Batkun Peninsula. He still msista that his excuses to the Emperor only express his regret for utterances based on alleged words which he now finds were unspoken. He Tepudiates the notion that he forgot the dignity of a British Primo Minister. Nevertheless the Liberal journals defend their chief only feebly, the general feeling among Liberals being one of regret that Mr. Gladstone allowed himself to use expressions capable of A DEROGATORY INTERPRETATIO N. The Tory journals have been filled all the week with passionate denunciations of Mr. Gladstone for bringing abject humiliation on England. The same journals reproduce many columns of Continental comments mostly unfavorable to Mr. Gladstone, many asserting that never before was a similar apology wrung from the chief of a great na- tion. Mr. Gladstone's friends say that a better impression will be produced when Count Karolyi’s letter is published, and admit the mis- take of not publishing both together. Meantime the Austrian semi-official journal is engaged in endeavoring toprove that the supposed pledge from Austria was invalid, alleg- ‘that this was = pure private correspond- ence between Count Karolyi and Mr. Gladstone, and denying that the Austrian Premier wasa par- ty to the transaction; still less is Austria herself bound by the expression of Count Karolyi’s opinion. The English Government will not tolerate this evasion, and is determined to hold Austria to her Ambassador's tion. THE GAZETTES. John Morley asstimes on Monday the editor- ship of the Pall Mall Gazette. Yielding to the persuasion of eminent Liberals, he will conduct the paper as an independent organ of advanced eckd Cee blishes th ¢ ir. Greenw: ul ies the prospectus of the St. James Gazelte, describing {t as the old Pail Mall under a new name. It will appear next wi MR, LOWELL writes on Thursday that he bag arrived at Fern- side house, a residence which he has taken near Southampton, having made the journe: with all the success he could have hoped, for his wife is no worse, and he intends to stay at Fernside a few days tocomplete his house- keeping arrangements. He leaves his wife there, and will arrive in London not later than Monday. JOHN FISK arrived in London to-day with his wife. They are the guests of Prof. Huxicy. He begins on ‘Tuesday a course of three lectures at the Royal Institution on ** American Political Ideas from the Standpoint of Universal History.” He will repeat the course later in the provinces. THE QUEEN actually remainod in London nearly four days, and returned to Windsor yesterday. I saw her drive through Hyde Park, from Buckingham Palace to Paddington Station, through ‘an immense concourse of people aud carriages. The Queen was in an open barouche with outriders, John Brown occupying the dickey. The escort were Life-Guards. She drove from Hyde Park corner to Victoria gate through a double lane of car- ringes filled with fashionable people, and dense crowds of lower classes concentrated at different points. Gentlemen raised their hats, ladies bowed, but not a_ single cheer was given along the whole route. The Queen seemed to bo in extremely good health, notwithstanding the protracted fatigues of her stay in London, having been two hours in attendance at her own drawing-rooms. Among the WON-ROYAL ENTERTAINMENTS of the week, the most remarkable was the arty given last night by the Chinese Am- Bassudor at Portland Place, the first since his appointment. Chinese etiquet was disregurded, ana the Ambassadress received the company with ber husband, men and women alike being resented to the hostess. There was an extraor- Sinary throng of people. including nearly all the diplomatic corps, Mr. Gladstone, and many rep- resentatives of the hisher, and middlo ranks. There were robably 1,000 people alto- gether. Mr. Gladstone was surrounded by udmirers the whole evening and was in great spirits. The last Ambassadress gave one ro- ception; but this is the first time a Chinese lady of this rank received gentlemen on the same terms as tadies. The younger children were also present. The eldest daughter, who is mar- ringeable, but unmarried, held a private re tion on the upper floor, to which Iadies only were admitted. GENEVIEVE WARD has made the interesting and successful experi- ment of produving Angier’s * L'Aventuriere. in French before a fashionable audience, includ- ing the Prince and Princess of W: Lord foughton, the rofessional beauties, ine many Iiteératours.

May Prati Mist ‘London season is Lonpos, —The first Lon now at ita hight. Her Majesty the Queen is resid! ie metropolis, aud levees and brocade over gold satin, potut d’Alencon, and on Thursday a robe of antique green satin draped with feuilie monte velvet satin, bouquets of gloire de Dijon, rose- buds, diamond ornaments, and many brilliant orders.. Among the presentations wero the Marchioness Tseng, wife of the Chinese Minister, and Lady Kee Cheen, eof the First Secretary. _ Both wore their national dress. It comprised 8 loose jacket of binck satin and an embroidered over- skirt of rich brocade, such as European looms cannot produce. Two inaian ladies were also resented. They were Miss Bhavendra and Batvondra Bala Tagore, who by the Queen's special desire wore their native dress of white muslin striped with gold, without trains, and were resplendent m gold. Gossip has it that the Queen sent word to three ladies who attended the dra -room that she did not wish tosee them aguin. The reason is thought to be that they were excessively décolleté. Yet her Majesty is very particular to insist on low-necked dresses at court, and special per~ mission is re covered: quired to appear with tho neck ‘The interesting ees FEATURES OF THE WEEK ve for the most purt turned upon America’ a and American artists. Punch says: * The nited States may well feel proud that at one and the saine moment London should have its attention drawn to two artiats who 80 fully sustain themselves as Miss Genevieve Ward and Mme.

This henttributes to a lack of musical guides and a National Academy of Music. En- land possesses many moneyed gentlemen of leisure who delight to foster the art. This class ho not find = in America. Tho society journal in question proceeds to regret that Americans disregard the cultivation of those diviner gifts whica render nations immorul. Mr. Sullivan must hive been fooling his interviewer. Mr. Sala snys that on his recent tour be was struck with the vast improvement thut has taken place in the tone and appearance of the American press since his former visit, Personal calumny, he remarks, hes been banished, and political con- troversy’ is no longer conducted on a basis of the grossest nbuso. In many respects the En- glish press might profit by the examplo set it in America. MUSICALLY CONSIDERED, this has been an interesting week. Mapleson has endeavored to capture Huns Richter as con- ductor, Sir Michael Costa being allowed to re- sign. The Viennese conductor will, however, tead only one opera, “ Lohengrin,” on Saturday next, with Candidus as Lohengrin and Nilsson as Elsa. Costa was a most expensive ‘Arditi takes his. place. Both the opera-houses_ were crowded to-night. At Covent Garden the throngs as- sembled to hoar Patti in Gounod's ‘Romeo e¢ Giulietta"; at Her Majesty's to listen to the same composers * Faust.” Patti wus received by an intensely fashionable audience with long aristucratic applause, the clapping of bands sounding like a bail-storm on the rouf of 2 con- servatory. Nicolini was received in dead si- Jence. Patti's voice was as charming as ever. Nilsson, at Her Majesty’s Theutre, after her long absence, had a good reception when she entered, und the murmurs of upprobation after. the first phrase testified to the pleasure of the audience, In the garden scene the audience fréquently manifested their de- light in finding that Nilsson wus _ still the possessor of her glorious voloe. All rumors of her lost voice and departed power aro simply absurd. She has lust none of her old charm of voice, ‘ace of movement, or symputhetic powe! ndced, her singing shows that, if any- thing, it has increased in intensity and ‘delicacy of quality. A recital of selections from American authors by Miss Gertrude Kellogg, of Brooklyn, drew a distinguished audience to Willis’ Rooms yester- day afternoon. It was her first appearance in London, and she produced a icularly favor- able impression. ITEMS. ‘The Manchester Guardian says that during the excitement of the clecdions Mr. Gladstone translated into Latin Toplady’s hymn, ** Rook of Ages,” and sent it to Gen. James Grant Wilson, of New York. The Academy compliments Judge Daley on the annual geographical review, published upon the proceedings of the Geographical So- olery. ‘The Echo this evening is informed that it is not George Eliot, but Mrs. G. H. Lewes, the legal widow of the deceased philosopher, who was the lady recently married to Mr. Cross. il the pa- pers were led astray on this point. The Luwson-Labouchere case is suid to have been hushed up. The Lambri-Labouchere libel case has been the sensational fenture of the London papers during the week. The exoced- ingly piquant revelations of the seumy side of London life are curious as showing the easo with which M. Lambri, the alleged Pasha, was introduced into the outer circles of London so- ciety, and lionized and féted, while it is proved now he deliberately entered into eonsplsey two come to England and win money by foul play. IRISH POLITICS.

Mr. — Parnell and Mr. Shaw bave been suggested, but Mr. Parnell will not accept the post, but will probably put forward one of his supporters. Mr. Parnell would acocpt he could elected, as there is a clear majorit) pledged to him, but, if he persists in bis refusal, BAS believed his nominee will be beaten by Mr. We THE FRENCH RELIGIOUS DEOREES.. Spectal Cable Pants, May 15.—The protests of the Catholic Bishops against the decrees of March are still continued. Seventy-eight of eighty-four members of the French Episcopate have now protested. Evidently the Church has determined to identify its cause with that of the Jesuits. This would look as if it regarded the present struggle as the last de- cisive one to be waged for its own ascendancy. A TITLED CRIMINAL, the Viscomte de Civry, grandson of the notori- ous Duke of Brunswick, has uppeared in a Paris Jaw court this week, charged with a series of robberies in the house of his landiaay, Mme. ecog.

PICKED UP AT SEA. Mapetm, May 15.—Three of the five missing boats of the mail-steamer American, which foundered on the passage from the Capoof Good Hope for South Africa, were picked up on tho 24th and 25th of April by the American bark Emma F.Hurriman, Capt. Upton, from Accra for Winnebah, latitude 3 deg. 30 min. north, and longitude 9 deg. west. The bark transferred tho people to the steamer Coanza. which landed them at Grand Bassin. Tho British steamer Senegal took them aboard for the Grand Canary Island, on reaching which the Senegal struck on asunken rock, and was run ashore to save life. All were saved except John Patterson, drowned by a bout capsizing. News of the missing boats has been awuited with intense excitement in London and at the Cape. PARLIAMENTARY EVOLUTION. Pants, May 15,—Private advices from Madrid state that a fusion has been effected between the Liberal and Dynastic parties for the pur- Bee of overthrowing Premier Canovas dol astillo's Cabinet. The Radicals and Democrats will henceforth be isolated. ‘This parliamentary evolution renders possible the carly accession of the Dynastic Liberals to power. a ARCTIC RELIEF EXPEDITION. SAN Francisco, Cal., May 15.—The Revenue Cutter Thomas Corwin, designated for the Arc- tic relief expedition, will go to Mare Island next week tocoal. Sailing orders have not yet-ar- rived, but intimation has been reccived from Washington that she will leave on the 22d inst. ‘The vessel is provisioned for forty men for one year, besides which the merchants of tho city have donated some three tons of wines, cor- dials, and delicacies for the relief of the crews of the ice-bound vessels when found. The voy- age is expected to last eight months, unless other orders are received. She will carry nine- iF tons of coal from this port. At Ounalaska she will take on board 600 tons of coal, and at North Sound, Behring Straits, some 600 or 700 miles further north, she will take in a full sup- ty,—all she can carry. The vessel carries a arge spread of canvas, and cun steam ten and a holf knots an hour. Her capacity for coal will enable her to steam twenty-one days, $$ _ A Spiritual Explanation. Alfred James {s a Philadelphia spirit-material- izing medium. Some investigators lately found in his cabinet and hidden on his person justsuch colored cloth as the apparitions wore. This dis- covery was accepted by scoffers as proof that James wasafraud; but Thomas R. Hazard, a leading Spirituulist, says that no such construc- tion should be placed on the matter. The spirits have explained to him that the tnediuim smug- giled the cloth into the cabinet because, * when his vital powers were weuk and low, the spirits could expand or multiply the same into the drapery and garments that wore necded for the manifestations, from a nucleus however scanty, with much less effort and exhaustion of his vital powers than they could when they were obliged tocondense and manufacture the needed ar- ticles wholly from the elements of the air. Mr. Hazard ‘trusts that, after this is made clear, Mr. James will no longer be subjected to unjust suspicion. —____ AMan Erutally Whips His Wife and Two Daughters. Pittsburg Dispatch to New York World. The horsewhipping of three ludies of pood po- sition in Steubenville, O.,has created a great sensation there. A young girl about 16 years of ago resides there with her parents, and being handsome and gay she has many admirers among the young men. Her father did not al- low her toreceive gentlemen callers, but she did so on the sly nevertheless. Just before the whipping took place her parents and married sister went down the street, leaving her et home. Shortly after their departure a young man called'at the house to see the girl, but had only been there a few minutes when the father re- turned, On finding the two in the parlor to- gether the father flew into a passion, threnten- ing to make shurt work of the young man I? he did not make himself scarce, and the caller went at once in double-quick time. The fsther then wont to his stable, and, procuring a heavy horsewhip, returned to'the house for the pur. pose of whipping the girl: but in the meantime the mother and married sister hed come home, and when he commenced to insb the girl the former interfered. He then turned his atten- tion to her and cut her ina very brutal manner over the back, face, and hands, cach stroke making a largo welt and drawing blood, Next the married daughter attempted to shield her mother, and she also received 2 severe flagella- tion, the futher following her out into the street, where she ran to escape hin, and whipping her there in the presence of a number of speetn- tors. He fs likely: to suffer for bis action, for his wife and daughter, by the death of areiative, inherited some $1,000 or $20,000 2 short time ago. and he hus bitd's good time spending itever since, but the wife now declires she will live with him no longer, aud intends going to Wheel- ing to live with her married daughter, who re- Bitles there, ‘and was only in Steubenviite on a visit. . THE RAILROADS. EASYT-BOUND FREIGHT BUSINESS. It was generally believed in railroad cireies that the eust-bound freight shipments for the week ending May 8, when the flve pool lines carried but 23,180 tons, were about as light as they could possibly be, but the statement forthe week ending May 15 makes u still worse showing, the shinments of grain, flour, and provisions amounting to only 21,165 tons. This is the poor- est showing made for years, und it is hardly pos- sible that business can get much worse. Tho largest amount of shipments by any one road was 6,440 tons—the Pittsburg, Fort Warne & Chicago; and the smallest 1,545 tous—the Bulti- re & Ohio. This makes but 610 cars for the Fort Wayne and only ears for the Bal- timore & Obio. ‘That the roads can- not lve on ‘such business must be apparent to everybody, and it is_ therefore not surprising that the lines leading East from this city uro anxious that a further reduction in rates should be made in order to stimulate rail shipments. As it is, the lake is takinz nearly all the business, und only the leavings go to the railroads. An effort will be made by the man- agers of those rouds at the meeting of the “High Joints” to be held in New York May 25, to bring about a reduc- tion, but ‘it ts doubtful whethor they will Bucceed, xs the? trunk-line managors mean. to keep up the prosent rates throughout the summer. The trunk lines, and particularly the New York Central and Erie Roads, do not suffer from the lake compctition to tho extent that the ronds from Chicao and other Western points do. The former get a lurge share of the Inke business at the Luke Erle ports, and, with high rail-rates, their proportion from Buffulo to New York is much lurger that it would be if low rates prevailed. What they lose in the amount of shipmentsthey more than make up by the higher rates they receive. Itis a sur- prising fact tht the Baltimore & Ohio supports the New York lines in keeping up the present rates, although this line bas to depend almost entirely upon the business it gets from its Western rall-connections. Its position in regard to this matter will not look so strange when tho fact is taken intoconsideration that this line during the last few months has managed torun ahead of its regular percentage from this point about 30,000 tons. Itern, therefore, afford to lie idle nearly all summer, as this will be much more profita- ble than to turn the business over tothe ronds that have run behind. This expluins the reason why tho other trunk lines permitted the Balti- more & Ohio to run sq far ahead of its regular percentage without forcing it to equalize by turning the business over to the other roads. This fact alone ought to convince the Western roads in the Joint Executive Com- mittee that the east-bound pool is run purely in the interest of the trunk lines, and they manip- ulate affairs go ns to getall the profits at the ex- pense of the Western lines. The roads leading East from Chicago would long ago have annihi- lated the Eastern grab-game if they could act independently. But they are owned and con- trolled by the New York trunk lines and have to dance to the tune of the managers of the latter whether they like it or not. But many of the Southwestern roads, which suifer to the same extent, if not more 80, than the Chicago lines, are not controlled by the Eastern mngnates, and they will not be likely to stand the resent state of affairs much longer, and it is very likely that thoy will kick up consider- able dust at the New York meeting if the trunk- Ine managers persist in running things solely in furtherance of their own selfish interests. ‘The following statement will show the amount of grain, flour, and provisions carried by the various roads during the week ending May 15: Grain, | Prov’s, | Flour,|tons of jtons of} Total bris. |20001.| 2000.) tons.

ARRESTS. . Martin Koch, 18 years of age,an employé of the crockery firm of Burley & Tyrrel, was ar- rested yesterday by Detectives Haines and Sim- mons, who caught him trying to sellsome silver- plated ware at some pawnshop. It is thoughthe has been carrying on petty peculations for some time. * Beverly Moon, a colored boy about 14 years of age, and a white boy of about the same age, named Robert J. Bertram, are at the Cottage Grove Avenue Station charged with Stenting a horse and buggy fromM. R. Richards, of No. 3120 Indiana avenue, on the night of the 13th.

The Sheriff arrived yes- terday, and will leave for home to-day with his prisoner. Met Her Match. Philadelphia Telegraph. ‘Now and then a customer who is impertinent meets her match; 23, for instance, the woman who, looking over suits the other day, turned to a quiet attendant and sharply asked: “ Do you call this an imported suit?” “ Yes, ma‘am,” was the answer, “H’m!” said the other, defi- antly, “noedn’t tell me that's imported. Ls at these button-hsles! Imported!” Her inter- focutor happened to be the head dressmaker, and knowing her business, and not feeling any purticulur terror of a woman who flatly accused her of falsehood, she sweetly said: “ Excuse me, but, if you were accustomed to seeing im- jorted dresses, you would know that button- Fotes are always badly worked,” and with that she walked away, leaving the word “accus- tomed” to rankle in her hearer’s mind. MILTON’S MISERY. The Scene of the Conflagration Visited by Thousands Yesterday. ft Money, Provisions, and Clothing Lib- erally Supplied to the Strick- en People. The Militia Wanted to Preserve the Peace and Protect Property. Losses Aggregate $1,700,000; Total Insurance, $686,000. Record of Lesser Fires at Other Points Yesterday. THE MILTON CONFLAGRATION. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, MILTON, Pa., May 15.—The scene. of the con- flagration was visited to-day by thousands of people from Williamsport, Harrisburg, Sunbury, Louisburg, and other points. There were long lines of conveyances on the streets of the demol- ished town from the rural districts, and to-mor- row (Sunday) a still larger crowd is expected to witness tho ruins, So great ig the anxiety to see the wreck thatthe fire has accomplished, that demands have been made upon the railroad authorities to run excursion trains, but this accommodation will not be granted at the request of the citizens of Milton, who desire to spend a peaceful Sabbath, if possible. Although there has been no indica- tion of any lawless scenes, the Burgess of this town this afternoon called on the Governor for adetachinent of the Twelfth Infantry, Nation- al Guard, to PREVENT ANY DEPREDATIONS. The Governor suggested that an organization had better be formed here, but this idea was not acceptable, and he to-night telegraphed that the companies from Williamsport should be furnished to preserve the peace, provided the Sheriff of the county demonstrated His in- abillty to carry out the end without the aid of military. Many of the citizens regard this as a critical. period, and would be much disappointment if the troops were not forwarded. They consider their presence neces- sary not only to the preservation of peace, but for the protection of the vaults of the two banks destroyed, which contain a large amount of moncy. <A call on the Governor was made after the attempted firing of the only hotel left stand- ing in the town by an unknown person. A quantity of burning rags had been pluced under @ wooden door-sill, but the fire was discovered before it had made dangerous headway. The Burgess proclaimed that $500 reward would be paid for THE ARREST OF THE GUILTY PERSON, and forthwith several individuals rushed wildly through the street for the incendiary, but fatled to capture him. There was talkof lynching him if caught. The fire has scarcely any food to feedon. It is only burning at few points, and there not vigorously. From the 600 buildings laid waste, there are scarcely a dozen from whose ruins any smoke Is arising. Nearly every particle of lumber has been burned to ashes, which is attributable to the fact that searcely any water was put on the débris. It is impossible to tell what tho loss by the fire will aggregate, but careful estimates fix it at about $1,700,000, and THE INSURANCE on the property destroyed will reach nearly $700,000. C.F. Follmer is the agent of seven companies, whose losses ar e as follows: Lycom- ing, $98,073; Fire Association of Philadelphia, $20,185; Farmers’, York, Pa., $23,911; Farmers’ of Danville, Pa., $4,400; Danville Mutual, $8,700; North American, Philadelphia, $25,000; Franklin of Philadelphia, $30,000; total, $219,200. Post- master Bogle is the agent for six com- panies, whose losses are: tna, Hartford, $90,000; Pheenix, Hartford, $50,000; Royal, Liverpool, $40,000; Lancashire, England, $30,000; Niagara, New York, $20,000; Liverpool, London. & Globe, $5,000; total, $225,000. O. B. Nagle, Chief Burgess, is the remaining agent here, and has an insurance of $100,000 on properties burned. In addition, the car-works and Reber’s tannery were insured In New York for $142,000, running the entire amount of insurance up to $686,000. SUCGOR TO THE SUFFERERS P is being extended from all directions in money, provisions, and clothing, and the Helicf Com- mittee is assured from the liberality of the public that all the urgent wants of the homeless will be supplied. Four car-loads of provisions have arrived from Harrisburg, three from Williamsport, and large quantities from surrounding towns and the rural districts. ‘These supplies are being systematically distrib- uted to the sufferers. Tho Committee has becn asked repeatedly to draw on Philadelphia par- ties for amounts ranging from $700 to $5,000, but the only demand made was for $200 to purchase railroad tickets, the Committee preferring not to accept any money until a definit conclusion has been reached as to what disposition shall be made of the funds. To-day a considerable force of men was employed TO TEAR DOWN the walls which were liable to fall, and for sev- eral days this work of demolition will continue. Strong drink has been sold to-day at the only hotel in this city, and a considerable number having been intoxicated in consequence several citizens called on the proprietor and demanded that he cease adding this sortof fuel to the fiames. Three or four hundred peoptc gathered about the hotel and protested against this abuse, and compelled the proprietor to close up his establishment. Twenty kegs of beer which ar- rived at the house to-day were sent buck at the instance of the Chief Burgess. Additional alarm has been created to-night by several at- tempts to fire buildings, all of which were dis- covered in time to prevent damage. These in- cendiary efforts buve increased the demand for the presence of troups. ‘The principal loszes are: William Raber, tan- ner, $145,000; Heinen, Schréder_& Co., $75,000; Academy of Music, $30,000; E.

Some leading business men have secured rooms, and others will commence rebuilding Monday, Dispatches are reccived from ditferent sections of the country offering aid. The Local Relief Committee has issued AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC. Itsays: “After careful personul inspection of the situation, we submit to the people of Penn- sylvania and the benevolent everywhere the following statement of the extent of losses, con- dition of inhabitants, and aid that is necessary for the proper relief of the town: First, the : ‘The fire swept, with total destruc- in the brief space of five hours, aren. of one mile long and half a mile in width, compactly built, covering the entire business and best-built ‘tion of the town, and including, with very few and minor exceptions, CHURCHES, STORES, BANKS, AND MANUFACTO- RIES, ving a loss of about $2,000.00; insured only to the extent of $500,000, us nearly a3 wo can as- certain. Second, the condition: The imme- diate necessities of the inhabitants for food have been met by prompt and generous contributions of provisions from the country and towns nenr Ashland. Still more supplies of food will be necessary betore the people can re- lieve themselves. Hundreds and hundreds, of people, men, women, and children, are‘ houseless and penniless, having nothing left but the clothes on their backs. Third, the needs: Atthe present time contributions of medical supplics, clothing for males and fe- males of all uges are much needed. In five short pou this beuutiful and flourishing town has ay LAID IN ASHES. Accumulations and established business of generations have been consumed. Those who arose in the morning from their beds in elegant and comfortable homes, a3 well as more humble dwellings, found themselves at night without homes, without prosperity, and | without business or occupation. Everybody is lookin anxiously in the dark and uncertain future, an while with one thought they bewail the loss of everything dear to them, in the next they are asking themselves how it will ever be possible for them to retrieve THEIR RUINED FORTUNES. To a generous-hearted public we would say that, in our opinion, the mere supply of food, medicine, and clothing will come far short of the mensure of relief required of you. These are much needed and highly appreciated by this, stricken community. If, however, this pros- perous town, with its enterprising and Inbor- employing industries, is not to sitin its ashes desolate and despuiring, large contributions of money are Sad MUCH NEEDED to enable its people by their own industry, econ- omy, and enterprise to reéstablish themselves. Al your contributions of money or whatever else witl go into the hands of reliable and dis- erect men, and be dispensed in the fairest and most efficient manner, All contributions of money will be sent cither to R. M. Frick, C: ler of the Milton National Bank, or John 3 well, First National Bank. All contributions o' food and clothing will be sent to the Relief Com- mittee.

Some good Religious and Temperance Journals sare making the mistake of declining to advertise ‘8 Most valuable anti-intoxicating medicine, sim- ply because it is called * Bitters,” while thesame journals are muking a greater mistake by ad- vertising some drunken whisky stuff, or nos- trum, because it has some nice, funcy, deceptive name, ending with “cine,” “tine,” printed on its : label, when the bottle is filled with destruction, drunkenness, and death. Lf these good journals would take the trouble to ascertain how many overworked clergymen huve bad their lest nerve- force, brain-waste, and flagying energics restored. by the use of Hop Bitters, enabling them to perform their arduous pustoral duties and prench the good sermons that they would have been totally unable to do but for this ratu- ” able medicine, and did these journals but know of the host of good Christian Temperance women who rely on them for their family medicine, and howmany invalid homes they could make happy, and what glad tidings they would send to every neighborhood by publishing the merits of Hop Bitters, they would advertise them without money and without price. And did these jour- nals but know how many have been and may be saved from forming intemperate habits by doc- tors prescribing Hop Bitters, instend of beer, where the use of hops are needed (there being more actual hop strength in one bottle of Hop’, Bitters than in a barrel of beer, without any of the intoxicating or evil effects of bee), they would lay aside their fear and prejudice against the word “ bitters.” ‘ Afewof the many witnesses from religious ~ and temperance sources are given below, who - use, recommend, and advertise Hop Bitters. ~ The President and Manager of the Hop Bitters Mfg.
