Our Grand Opening was on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, -AT THE- Tyrone Department Store, here we will continue to show the people of TYRONE top floor narrowly escaped cremation. One man leaped from the fourth story and was fatally injured. Several others who jumped were seriously hurt. The building was a four-storied brick structure and the fire is supposed to have started from the heat of the boiler stack in the lower end of the shaving which ran from the top lloor to the cellar.

Before the firemen began to play streams of water upon the building (lames were bursting from every window on the west side of the house, the dry woods and paints furnishing very combustible fuel. The shavings flue and elevator near it formed the strong draughts up which the flames went with lightning rapidity. In less than five minutes from the discovery of the fire the whole interior of the building was blazing. Six of the sixty workmen were in the painting room on the top ttoor. Two got out by the stair way, hut (he flames stopped the other four.

One of them, Julm Dudig, or Diedt, leaped from the window fully forty feet above the street landing on his feet, but fell forward striking the ground with his face, and breaking his thighs and lower jaw. He was taken to the West Penn Hospital. LouisaAhric jumped to a telephone wire and slid to the ground. William Shrimp also jumped and struck a telephone wire which broke the force of his fall and saved his life. He was but slightly injured.

Sohn Diving jumped to the ladder as it was being raised and got down safely. The building belonged to Henry Hore of Cliff street and was valued at $5,000, and its stock and contents at $15,000. There was a lot of woodworking machinery and finished furniture besides valuable wood. Nothing was saved. On stock and contents the insurance was $10,000 and on the building $4,000.

As the firm has a large trade the building will be reconstructed at once. At ON THE WAR PATH. FREDERICK, Nov. the lynching of the colored man, Bigus, for assaulting an aged white lady a few nights ago, the negroes of this country have threatened to have revenge for the murderous act, as they term it. They decided, it is said, to attack the jail, secure the sheriff, and then hang him the same as Bigus was hanged to a tree on Jefferson Heights.

To-night was named as the time of attack and midnight was selected as the hour. FREDERICK, Nov. A. At 2 o'clock no attack has yet been made. Fifty soldiers armed with rifles are drawn up in front of the jail am Sheriff's house, and details of 29 muskets each guard the four roads leading into the town to prevent any more ne- groes from entering the city.

A negro, supposed to be a spy from Newmarket, where the plot was hatched to lynch the Sheriff, tried to pass the guards at 1 o'clock this morning and was fired upon but escaped. The determined stand taken by the riflemen, it is thought, will now avert further trouble. md vicinity not only the largest and cheapest, but the most this time the fire is particularly expen- uiu sive to them, as they had large orders ahead for Christmas goods, which they iniqne, varied and best selected stock of Holiday goods ever nought to this part of the country.

From the recommendations recently made by the State board of health we take the following which may be of use to some of our people at the present time.

"It is the common belief that measles, seui'let i'ever, whooping cough, mumps, diptheria, and the other diseases of childhood are uecesssarily contracted by every child. This is a mistake. These diseases are all contagious and pass from person to person, by actual contact. By great care, their spread may be much restricted and the lives of many children saved. When these diseases prevail in a community, it is best to withdraw the children for a time from the day and Sunday schools, so far as possible, to isolate them from other children.

In no case should they attend the funeral of a person dead from any of the above diseases, and in case of scarlet fever and diptberia, it is best for parents to remain away as much as possjble from where they prevail, no matter in how light a form." Of Erie's ihree hundred saloons, it is In Germany the average duration of the life of gardeners, mariners and fisherman is given as 58 years'; butchers 54 years; carpenters and bricklayers, 49 yeaes; compositors and lithographers, 41 years, and laborers, 32 years. Of the professions the average lifetime of a clergymen is 07 years, and physicians, 49 The strong feeling of Queen Victoria and her eldest daughter against German surgeons is said to arise from the fact that Prince William, of Germany, has a deformed hand, and infirmity due to the clumsiness of a physician who was in attendance at his birth. The Hon. David Cloptou, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, will be married on Thursday to Mrs, Clement C. Clay, at Huntsville, Alabama.

This happy event is described as the result of the discovery of long-lost youthful affections. Charles Baker, a half-witted boy, witnessed the hog-butchering at his home, near Perida, and then took his little brother and sister, aged respectively four and six years, out into the woods, and cut their throats and his own. Mrs. J. P.

McCabe, whose husband was hanged at Honesdale recently for the murder of Michael Ililey, has refused to receive $100 found on McCabe at the time of his arrest, as she believes it to have belonged to the murdered man. New York society people are agitated over the debut of John Jacob Astor, the Fourth. He is heir to $80.000,000, and among his guests on the occasion referred to eight marriageable young women. The White House fountains have been taken off and the basins filled in with Norway spruce planted in boxes. The effect of the rich green is excellent.

This is Mrs. Cleveland's idea. Mr. W. W.Corcoran, of Washington, will celebrate his eighty-ninth birthday anniversary next month.

He is preparing for a brilliant campaign this winter. A new rubber shoe factory to employ 1,000 hands, is to be built at Naugatuck by York capitalists. It is expected to be in running order by next 'spring. The monkey-wrench is misscalled. It was the invention of Charles Moncky, of Williamsburg, N.

Jand should be called the Moncky-wrench. Considering the price of fashionable bonnets, we begin to think the word "millionaire" is but a corruption of milliner. Henry George's paper hints that tbe George party will have no Presidential ticket in the field next year. be closed The official record in tbe cases of tbe Chicago AnarcfejitB about 12,000,000 words. WEEKLY LETTER FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Our Regular Washington Correspondent On Hand With His Hiidpcl of News Concerning People and Events at the Scat of WASHINGTON, Nov. 21), '87. As the time approaches for the meeting or the National Republican mittee here in a few days, active move- ments are being made in Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities to capture the National Convention, each of the aspirants asserting peculiar claims for the distinction that will then be laid before the Committee 'by strong local delegations. The advance guard of the Chicago and Philadelphia delegations are already here, and quite as much interest is taken in the matter as at any similar period in the history of the parky.

One thing is very observable, that these men refrain from expressing any personal preference as to candidates, and are not marking the boom of any one. The disposition is everywhere apparent among Republicans, that the nominee of the convention will bo perfectly satisfactory, and that our duty is to see that he is elected. There are no quarrels now to adjust. United action is the watch wofcl from one end of the line to the other, and with this spirit animating our ranks, we can enter the canvas, whoever may be our standard bqarer, with the utmost assurance of In talking recently with Senator Spooher, of Wisconsin, who is not only one of the ablest men in Congress but oue of the finest orutors in the country, he said: "This session will be a fighting one. The struggle between the two great political parties will be intense.

The questions that will be at the fore-front are those of the tariff, the surplus, and finance, which with the question of freedom of the ballot and honesty of elections, will make enough work to occupy all our attention." The Senator suggested a suspicion that the greneral acquiescence of the democratic leaders in Mr. Cleveland's re-nomination may have been brought about by the understanding that in due time he will refuse to run a second ti me. There may be a good deal in this suggestion, and on no other hypothesis can you account for tbe sudden transformation of several very prominent Democrats who were planning severe warou Mr. Cleveland's administration. As a Republican, I hope there is nothing in the suggestion, and.

that he will be the regular democratic nominee. One would hardly expect it. yet there are decided differences of personal style among the different sets of Government clerks. The Treasury clerks are the least spruce in appearance and most spiritless in manner of all Government employes. The most independent, nonchalant and cosmopolitan are those of the Interior Department, who look and act as though they were happy and prosperous.

The Post Office Department people are a serious folk, and have crushed aspect. The building is as still as a cemetery. A visitor walks into the Interior Department as if he owned it, but when he enters the Post Oflico Department, he begins to falter and stammer at the very entrance. The Army and Navy clerks are very dressy; rather exclusive, but always polite. The Departmen of Justice has, no special Individuality, but the State Department can furnish perfect specimens of the aristocratic genus of clerk.

They have little intercourse with of other Departments, and are emphatically "dudes" of the most exqu)slte brand, aping the foreign representative 1 and attaches with whom they are brought in contact. The publlfc $ai tie to do with that Depart and are.
