his thumpines for order that each = mem
ber was saved from entering upol
the office Of President by the Apterterenee Of thu
police. That every nose was not smashed Wa:
not the fault OF the mob. The fight started
with the meeting, and did not end until the the
conduct OF the mob that even Aid. Ryat

that he was ashamed Of hts constituency: Final

been any amount Of bnllot-box stuttlng. The

finally, but how no one can tell, except those
who left the hall nursing mashed noses.

SIXTH WARD.
4 numerous body Of the Tilden Keformcrs OF
the Sixth Ward assembled last evening at Sachs
Hall, corner Of Brown and Twentieth streets,
Tor the purpose Of elecjng delegates to the
County Convention. 4 report was circulated
through the crowd to the effect that Dan
O'Hara had Withdrawntfrom the Shrievalty con-
test, and so the fight was narrowed to choice
other side was Kcrn-stderably excited.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.
John somers. Thomas Griffin was nominated
for Temporary Chairman, but the Chair refused
to entertain the motion. An appeal was made
from the decision, but the Chair refused to en-
tertain the appeal. Somebody moved that each
precinet-pronouuced In Bridgeport prsstnt-
should elect two delegates. At this point Of
the proceedings the widest confusion pre-
vailed. The Chair put the motion and declared
that the ayes had it. AS MIR. Somcrs was cam
dldate for delegate from the Second Precinct,
general feeling prevailed against bis presid-
Ing. and a continual howl for him to get out
was kept up. The nomination Of delegates be-
a se1fappointed committee Of choice spirits
climbed upon the stage to eject SomeFs from
the chair.

| gular and pleasing. The ship Franklin,
of Salem, whose log hook is preserved in
the Essex Institute of that city, was the
| first to show this national flag in Japan
csc waters, July, 1899. In 17S9-'90 the
ship Columbia carried our flag around the
world and gave her name to that majestic
river on the Pacific coast, discovered by
her master, Capt. Gray, in 1892. During
| the years 1792-'94 Vermont and Kentucky
| joined the Union; and in 1898 Congress
changed our flag to fifteen stars and fifteen
stripes to take effect the following MAY.
This act was passed after long discussion,
many members thinking the flag should
always remain as it was. This altered en-
| sign was the one borne by the noble
sold Ironsides" and by all our vessels
during the second war with England.
During the sitting of the French Con-
vention at Paris on the 14th- of August,
1894, the Minister Plenipotentiary from
the United States was led into the hall
and received the fraternal kiss and en-
brace, amid great enthusiasm; and on the
25th of September the new American ban
ner was presented to the Assembly by
Capt. Barney in behalf of the United
States. This standard was hung In the
legislative hall, and afteIward borne in
the procession at the great funeral of
Rousseau, when high honors were shown
to the Americans in Paris. The fifteen
stars and the fifteen stripes won our victo-
ries on the lakes, at New Orleans, at
Tripoli and tioated from the Essex during
her famous fight in the harbor of Vaipa-
raise. In 1897 our ensign was displayed
amid the burning city of Smyrna in the
Orient; and in 1900 the American frigate
George Washington walked Constantine
pie with laundering salute, to view the
emblem of the new nation. When the
Turks were told that the frigate came
they sent aboard bunch of flowers and a
iamp-the one meaning welcome and the
other friendship.
In 1914 Congress voted to make a col
lection of the flags which had been capt
ured by our armies and fleets, and they
are now preserved in the Flag Room at
Washington and in the Gunnery- Room
at Annapolis; but the collection is very
incomplete, as for many years no care
had been taken to gather and preserve
these trophies, and the hiding place of
MANY of them is not even known.
1t is not necessary for us to enumerate
all the victories the flag has won, and the
vicissitudes it has undergone during the
long period of our history, for they are
known to every reader. 1t is never idle.
New stars are continually added to its
cluster, and fresh achievements shed lus-
ter upon its folds. 1t is now marching on
to glorious conquests of peace. Alaska
is under it's dominion; it waves over new
possessions in the Pacific two-thirds of
the way to Japan; Stanley is to-day bear
ing it into the depths of Africa, where
never yet has the foot of white man trod;
while its latest acquisitions at home make
its deep blue glow with the light of thirty
seven stars.-C. II. Woodma'a, fin Appte-
tons Journal.

INDUSTRIAL.

Coal is being discovered in about ev
cry county Of Kansas.
THE yield of the Ohio coal mines last
year exceeded 100000 tons.
The hosiery mill at Ashland, N. H.,
was sold by auction, recently, for 10 per
cent of its cost.
QUITE number of hogs have died in
and around Wallingford, Conn.,, in the
last few weeks, from a disease which the
farmers call "black tush.''
THE trial of the moving and reaping
machines at the Centennial will require
fifty acres of grass and standing grain,
and the agricultural bureau of the COM
mission has put the land in the best
possible condition.
A MAN living in Clay, N. Y, has in
vented a snow pillow which is 50 con-
structed that instead of crowding or press
ing the snow from the tracks it carries it
up an inclined plane or apron to the
height of twelve or fourteen feet, where it
is received by slide shUte and carrier,
which throw it from the track as far as
may be desired.
THE Augusta (Ga) Chronicle says
there is no valid reason why Georgia
should not be one of the greatest sheep
raising countries of the world. Its eli
mate corresponds to that of Spain and
Australia, and land is exceedingly cheap.
Yet the census during the last five years
shows loss of over 100, 900 sheep, which
is almost entirely owing to the country
being overrun by dogs. The whole sheep
husbandry of the State is crippled by the
presence of over 10000 dogs, which, dur
ing last year, killed over $4,000 sheep.
NONE but earth colors should be used
in painting floors, and the rapid wearing
off of coating of oil paint on floor is
a sure indication that white lead has been
mixed with the paint. This is generally
the case, since it causes the paint to cover
better and spread easier. Even the en-
ployment of varnish that has been
boiled with litharge should be avoided
and one boiled with borate of magnesia
preferred. It is also very important that
the first coating should be perfectly dry
before second is laid On.-O3 and Paint
Journal. a
BRooMs were first manufactured by the
Ouakers at Watervliet, n. Y, in 1871 but
it is only within twenty-five years that
much importance has been attached to
the business. The annual crop OF broom
corn now raised in this country is esti-
mated at 1900 tons, while twenty-fiv
wears ago it was only 500 tons. Broom
corn is a native of India, and the honor OF
its introduction into the United States as
an agricultural product belongs to DIR.
Ben. Franklin. While examining an
imported whisk Of corn he saw seed,
which he planted, and from that small
beginning sprang the enormous growth or
broom corn in this country.
