Retiring Governor A. R.

He thought a court should be established to prevent un­ necessary building of new roads and the killing of thriving towns by railroads passing them by and endeavoring to build Hp rival cities. He says the high-license law has been, eminently satisfactory and has benefited the State both financially "and from a temperance standpoint. Gov.- elect W. R.

H i s books have been found to be perfectly correct in every way, and the crime which has made him a fugi­ tive was only a bold, cunning robbery, ex­ ecuted at a single stroke, and not by any tedious system. The entire amount of the robbery, according to the figures given by the American Suiety Company is $13,- 901.47, all of which, save a few hundred dollars, he is believed to have carried away with him. At the close of his day's work Schall submitted his accounts, vouchers, and cash to Cashier Walker, who, finding everything correct, told Schall to put the money in the vault in the back ptrt of the room. Schall had already put on his over- co it when he entered the vault, and there, safe from detection, it was but the work of a moment to transfer the money from the cash boxes to his own pocket. He left the offices in an unconcerned manner, and went to the home of S. J. Craft, with whom he lived, at Austin, a suburb of Chicago. He disappeared Boon after, and has not been heard of since.

There was a clear < thy overhead. This continued for half an hour. Then the stone changed with a sudden­ ness that was appalling. The fleecy clouds gave way to the ominous signs of a coming storm. Dark heavy banks of clouds mar­ shaled themselves, and soon darkness seemed to have settled over the city. There was a stillness as of coming danger. Then the wind whistled, the storm clouds grew heavier, ard still loader grew the wind. In the western eky the storm was seen ap­ proaching with a thundering noise. Per­ sons residing along the track of the storm 6ay that they saw the first sign of danger in a funnel-shaped cloud which seemed to gather up everything within its reach and cast it right and left. Out in the country houses and barns were unroofed, farm outbuildings were overturned, crops rooted upv and destruction spread in every direc­ tion. The track of the storm was not more than two hundred feet wide, and it is lucky that it only touched the suburbs of the city. It came from the west and passed along the northern border of Reading. First it touched the Mount Penn stove works. Here the corner of the buQding was struck, and a portion of the roof was cut off as nicely as if done with a pair of scissors. Then the storm crossed some fields and took off a portion of the roof of J. H. Sternberg's rolling milL 'A number of dwellings were unroofed as readily as if their tin roots were paper. The storm hurried across the property of the Read­ ing railroad company and crossed the rail­ road. A passenger car was overturned as quickly as if it bad been a toy, and its splinters scattered in every direction. Meanwhile the rain poured down in tor­ rents. The atmosphere became heavy and oppressed, and it was almost as dark as night. ^ On one side of the track of the Reading railroad was situated the paint shop of the company. It was a one-story building abont by 150 feet in size. Hereabout thirty men were employed painting passen­ ger cars. There were eight or nine of these cars in the building. They had been built at tbe company's shops in this city at a, cost of $6,000 each. The building was struck squarely in the middle, and the bricks ( scattered about as if they were playthings. The cars were turned topsy-turvy, while the men were buried under the debris. Some of the bricks were carried away. The chamber of each of the passenger cars was already filled with gas, as they were ready to be taken out on the road in a few days. They exploded one .after another with the fearful bang of a cannon. Bang, bang, bang, they resounded over the city, causing the people to, run out of their houses, thinking that it was the sound of an earthquake. There was a considerable quantity of gasoline in the building, and this added flucl to the flames. A sheet of flafho shot upward with the roar of mus­ ketry. About twenty of the men had a chance to crawl out of the debris, but four of their companions were enveloped in the flames. Their cries wore heard for a mo­ ment by the terrified workmen and then their voices were hushed forever. They were quickly roasted to death. The fire department was called out, but its services were unavailing. The building and cars were consumed in fifteen minutes and nothing left but blackened, smoking ruins, under which- lay four human beings burned to a crisp. Their nguies are: JOHN KALLElt. . „' ! ALBERT LANDSBEUGEB. SHERIDAN JONES. ; GEORGE SCHAFFER. It was rumored that several others had been killed, but these are the only ones known to have lost their lives. Aaron De- walt, one of the employes in the paint shop, had his arm broken, and George Knabb was injured internally, no doubt fatally. The loss to the railroad company is fully $75,000. / ' When this was going on the storm was traveling with fearful rapidity, and un­ roofed adozen private residences. Directly in its path, at the corner of Twelfth and Marion streets, stood the Reading silk mill. Here about one hundred and seventy-five girls were working. The building was a huge structure, most substantially built, four stories and basement, occupying an entire block of ground. It was surmounted by a massive tower fully 100 feet high. The funnel-shaped storm cloud struck the building directly in the center on its broad­ est side. It fell to pieces as if composed of so many building blocks. Nearly 200 human beings went down in that awful wreck. Human tongue can never tell the terrible scenes of that hour. The walls gave way, the floors fell down, one on top of the other, and carried their great mass of human beings to the bottom. Amid the hurricane, the whistling and roaring of the wind, terrible cries for succor were sent up to Heaven. It was a moment that tried men's souls. GirlB with blackened faces, bruised and broken limbs, their clothing tattered and torn, dragged themselves from the ruins. So, probably, seventy-five to a hundred escaped or were dnigged out by their friends. These worked en the upper floors and were thrown near tbe top of the debris. At some places the^ bricks were piled twenty feet deep aifl underneath are still lying tifllaan bodies/ by the score. The alarm for relief wa« immediately sent out, and in a short tinny thousands of 'er, Mnry Cunnuis, Mary Evans, Effie Kb* right, Howard Bricker, Annie Brickex and Annie Fry. The names of many others cannot be as­ certained in the confusion. The silk mill was built about four yearsj* ago. Tho builders were Reading capitalf" tots, and the cost of putting it up was $53,-' 000. The mill was leased to Grimshaw Brothel's, of Patterson, N J. The machin­ ery cost $45,0TO. This is a total loss.

Twelve are known to have been killed out­ right. Six others are fatally injured and about; thirty others seriously hurt.

The top story in the rear of Eichbaum's building 011 Fifth avenue, was also knocked in, and three printers who were working there were injured, but how severely can not be learned at present. The number of killed and injured cannot be definitely stated at this time, as many are supposed to be still in the ruins. It is belie.ved, how­ ever, that twelve have been killed and thirty-eight injured, six of them fatally. Already forty mangled and bruised bodies have been taken from the ruins. Some were dead, others were dying, and many were fatally injured. One or two died on the way to the hospital. From the best information obtainable seveh were killed outright or died in a short time and thirty-six others were injured. It is be­ lieved that the list of dead will be greatly increased. The following have been identified: ^ PA MITEL STRIVGEN, aged Id, a ptlater. THOMAS JONES,a brick-layer. - r CHARLES FR1TCH, aged 10. GEOUGE MASON, a carpenter. TERGQE. a colored bootblack.

Thomas, dealer in shoe findings, and badly damaged por­ tions of tho buildings occupied by Joseph Eichbaum, printer, on Fifth avenue; J. R. Weldon & Co., booksellers, and Rea Brothers, stock brokers, on Wood street. Inspector of Police McAleese says that he Is of the opinion that from fifteen to twenty- live persons are yet in the ruins, and he would not be surprised if the death list would be increased to fiteen or twenty. The body of George Kirsch was found in the cellar of the barber-shop. Dr. J. L Reed, a prominent physician of Allegheny, was in Weldin's at tbe time, and he is still missing. It is feared that he is dead. The wounded already rescued number thirty-five, of whom six will probably die. All kinds of theories have been advanced for the collapse of the building. In some instances the responsibility is placed on ths contractors, while in others the building inspectors are blamed. Nothing definite can be known, however, until an investi­ gation is made. It is hard to estimate the damage done at this time, but it will ex­ ceed $50,000. The cyclone wrought a terrible destruc­ tion in other parts of the city and out along the railroads centering here.. A por­ tion of the foundry of Mcintosh, Hemphill & Co., on Thirteenth street, was wrecked, as was also a house in Allegheny. At Wall'8 station, on the Pennsylvania rail­ road, a large brick building, owned by the Westinghouse Air-Brake company, was partially demolished, and at Wilinerding, Pa.. a coal tipple was wrecked. At McKeesport houses were unroofed, treee blown down and windows smashed. Three houses in course of erection were blown to pieces. On the rivers a number of boats were torn from their moorings and cast about like corks, but they were secured be­ fore much damage was done. The velocity of the wind was fifty miles an hour, the highest recorded for years. A number of narrow escapes are re­ ported. fc'eveii men were thrown from the seventh story to the ground and escaped with slight injuries.

Mr. McMillan's first active work in state politics was undertaken in 1876 as a member of the Republican state central committee. Two years later he was a member of the ex­ ecutive committee and treasurer of the state committee, Zaehariah Chandler being chair­ man. He also personally superintended Mr. Newberry's congressional canvass. Two vears later when the Republicans needed the first district, it was largely through Mr. McMillan's untiring efforts that a JRepubli- con representative was sent to congress. After Senator Chandler's death Mr. McMil­ lan was elected chairman for the remainder of the term. It was not until the campaign of 1886 that 1£r.

As the onler of the Knights of .Labor was foundel for the puri osa ot abolishing poverty by securing to tlio laborer the fruits of his toil, and as we, the original founders o£ the Iimghts ot Labor, who bandt d to the officers and the membership principle* of the organization, have found lapse of nearly twenty years that the oil'cers of the organization have departed Irom tba principles tranferred to thorn, and being determined to return to the original te>t, we extend the hand of fraternity to all those who believe in the principles iormerly promulgated, to wit: Se­ crecy, obedience, mutual assistance, and the plucing of industry on a scientific basis. We have resolved to eliminate all opposition detri­ mental to the principles and progress of the Knights of Labor as vhe founders intended. In making this known through She public press, we do bo to notify those a a distance, and this must be aa a reply to many letters received on the subject. As in 18(53, numbers for assemblies will be given Irom jfhiiadelpbia, Pa., until a suibcient number have been formed to call a joint conven­ tion for the good of the order.

He was but a boy, and dame of an honorable and respected family of Jackson t oun y. He was na doubt guilty of violations bf the law. but from state­ ments in the petition submitted and from other Information I believe he was tho least guilty member of the bond.
