Loss, $3,000. Saturday morning the remains of a man were found in the ruins of one of the 6tables. The unfortunate man is generally supposed to have been a tramp, who was the night before in the lockup along with a worthless negro named Bates. The tramp had nearly (20 in bills and silver on his person when locked up, which was known to Bates. On Thursday they were together all day, and Thursday night they were chased away from the Bedford Springs Hotel, Bates is known to have been the first at the.

fire, and he says himself that he sounded no alarm. This looked very much as though he was in some way responsible for the fire. Tuo tramp seems to have been forgotten until Saturday, when the remains were found then it flashed upon many minds that Bates had murdered the tramp and fired the stables. He was immediately locked up and will he held for trial. Fresh circumstantial evidence is coming in al most constantly that will likely convict him when it comes to trial.

Schoolwatd Bound. This afternoon Miss Nell Dwyer, Rcse Smith, Anautatia Casey, Ella Delaney and Maggie Clark will bid farewell to their homes for a few months, to enter upon their course of studies at St. Joseph Academy, Seton Hill. This institution is situated on a beautiml eminence overlooking Greensburg, the capital of Westmoreland county. It is surrounded by a farm of two hundred acres, and at this season the orchards, abounding in the mellow fruits of the place more than usually at tractive.

Owing to the etiorts of the bisters in charge to cultivate the minds nnd hearts of those intrusted to their care, the fame of Seton Hill is widely spread. The young ladies have our heartfelt wishes for a prosperous year, and for some a successful termination to their school days. Deaths of Children. The infant son of Mr. Goltleib.

Powderly Will Stick. Philadelphia, September 5. Messrs. Bailey and Barry, the only members of the General Executive Board of the Knights of Labor in the city last evening, upon being shown a copy of the Pittsburgh Despatvh stating that Mr. Prowderly contemplated leaving the -order on account of internal dissensions, most emphatically denied the story in every particular, and declared that it was undoubt edly aet afloat by person, desirous of injuring the order.

They also asserted that there bad never been a time when the feeling of harmony between Mr. Powderly and the members of the order at large, as well as with the General Elective Board, wa. stronger or more sin cere than it ia at the present time, and that Mr. Powderly is in much better health than for some time past. Messrs.

Powderly, Tarn er and Hayes led the city last evening. I ia Councilman McTamany One. More to tlie Front on the Water Question. Ei8. Times Yesterday', issue of Sunday Morning has the following very important I had almost said Impotent editorial on the water question "The water question ia about as clear as mud, and no reasonable pros pect of its settling." I endorse the above as to the clear part of it.

Just at the present time the question is as "clear as mud" to a great many who have had a good deal to say about it, and especially some newspaper writers who tried to clear the subject up. From what have beard on the suhjeet of late it is evident to me that if some of the best and most in telligent citizens of Altoona would give the matter a little careful study, the "mud" would settle sufficiently to allow them to see into the water Question. It should be "clear" to all that water has always been scarce in Altoona, and that th city needs more to add to its prosperity and promote its industries. It should also he that there is plenty of water above Altoona, in the mountain, to give an abun dant supply at all times, and that it will run into the city by its own gravitation and save all expense for pumping. It should also be "clear" to all that suitable pipe will have to be laid to conduct water from the mountain streams to places where it is wanted in the city.

and these pipes are the most expensive part of the question. The cost of pipes depends, of course, on their weight and size. If too large and heavy they would be extravagant if too small they would be condemned as useless. Then, again, it should be "clear" to all that the necessary pipes to secure the necessary sup ply of water will cost a good round sum of money, and by issuing 4 per cent, bonds, while the credit of the city is good, the necessary sum can be raised, and the revenue from water wonld pay the interest on said bonds and also create a fund for their redemption. It should also be "clear" that an iuvestmeutof this kind will not increase the taxes of anyone.

Water is a paying investment, it will pay its own way. Other improvements ouly add to ihe vidua of property where they are made, and that in proportion to the cost of the improve' ment. Water is at the head of all improvements just now. It is the first and most important question before the people of this city at present. Let in get an abundant (supply of water and other good results will follow in its wake.

Let us get it for our own immediate comlort and UFe, and it will pay from the start. What money has been spent so far has given very fair re turns in the present Biipply of water indeed, I do not see how we could get along without it. I hope, therefore, that this question will get "clearer" every day, and that the "mud" will setllo to the bottom. Then we will "wade in" and remove every obstae'e in the way of an abundant supply of pure and wholesome water for Altoona, Respectfully, P. McTamany Married in Minnesota.

All the way from Meisville, comes the pleasing intelligence of the marriage of our worthy and well-doing frienk, Mr. Frank P. McCormick, formerly of Summerhill township, Cambria county, but for many years past a res. ident of Minneapolis, the happy youug bride in the case being Miss Sue J. Brown, daughter of Mr.

PeterBrown, of Woodvale, near Johnstown, Cambria county, The interesting ceremony took place, as we learn from the Johns town 1'ribune, at a nuptial Mass in St. Joseph's church, which, we presume, is a suburb of Minneapolis, on Wednesday morn ing, August 25, Rev. Father O'Keefe officiating. The attendants of the happy couple were Mr J. S.

O'Donnell, formerly of Butler county, but now a prominent building contractor of Minneapolis, by whom the groom has been employed as foreman of carpenters for the past three years, and Miss Jennie O'Connell, a cousin of the bride, from the residence of whose parents she was married and who gave the wedding party a magnificent repeption at their home. An Old Gentleman's High Jump. Mr. N. J.

Mervine, a well known and somewhat aged citizen, who resides at No. 1205 Seventh avenue, was standing at the top of a ladder picking fruit from a tree on tbegrounds attached to his residence, on Saturday evening, when a branch against which he was leaning broke. To save himself from falling headforemost, Mr. Mervine jumped, landing on his feet. As the distance to the ground was about thirteen feet, he was badly shaken up, but no bones were broken, and it is thought he sustained no serious injuiy.

He is very sore, however, and will be confined to his resi dence for several days. A Brakeman Injured. Charles Shives, a Middle Division brake- man, was assisting in coupling a freight train near Union Furnace, at an early hour on Thursday morning, when he Btepped over the abutment of a bridge, falling a distance of twenty live feet. He spraiued his left ankle and was pretty badly shaken np but fortu nately escaped serious injury. He now uses a cane toassist locomotion.

The Earthquake. The latest about the earthquake comes from Huntingdon. A woman ran into a neighbor's house and inquired if they had felt the shock. "There was no eheck," replied the second woman. I tell yon there was," shouted the first." "Well, maybe it was an said the other, "but I thought it was my husband, who was upstairs shaking with a chill, who made the racket."

Farther he says that the gas for street lamp, cost $482 when my statement in the Herald says plainly that the cost for gas for street lamps was $408 67, ana lor public building $73.73 making a total for both of $482.40. My letter in the Herald was not intended to mislead, but to state plain- our citizens what the Gas Water Company actually, received for gas for 1885, as three-fourths of our citizens were led to believe that the Gas and Water Co, received iur gas aione, lor 1880. The same amount of gas for street lamps at the present price would be 9262.16.

To double the num ber of lamps and thus put light in the suburbs the gas would cost $524 32: to this add for lamp lighting, $216, and we have a total of $740.32.
