The Ticket.

We give below the comments OF the press and
leading men on the nominations made at the late
Chicago convention:
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1880-06-16


General Garfield is six feet high, broad Shout
dered, and very strongly built. He looks much
like Ex-Governor Stewart OF Vermont having the
same complexion, hair and beard; Websterian
head, that seems to be three-fourths forehead,
large lightbrown eyes and full cheeks. He dresses
plainly, is fond of oad-brimmed SLOUGH hats,
eats heartily, cares nothing for luxurious living,
Is thoroughly temperate in all respects, save in
that OF brain work; Is devoted TO his wife and
children and fond of his country home. Among
friends he is genial, good taker and looks to the
stranger "every inch man" 10 1851 while pro-
lessor Of Latin and Greek at the Eclectic Institute
MT Garfield married Miss Lucretia Rudolph, the
daughter OF farmer living near Hiram, whose
acquaintance he had made while studying at the
academy where she was a pupil. The marriage
one purely OF love, and much OF the husband $
prosperity In life has been due 10 the quiet infu-
ence OF the wife. He purchased little cottage
fronting on the college campus, and they began
their welded life, poor and In debt but with
brave hearts. Mrs Garfield Is OF delicate form,
yet In rosy health, domestic, devoted mother,
fitting her four young generals for college OF for
active life, a lady OF sunny spirit and OF very
quiet, digniied bearing.
Delegates 10 national conventions have been
nominated 10 the vice presidency before this but
General Garfield presents, we believe, the first in
stance OF delegate being selected by the body OF
which he was a member for the high position OF
candidate for president of the United States.

POWDER EXPLOSION
Terrific Disaster at San Francisco.

Terrific Disaster ut San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-The Giant
powder works in the district of Birkeley,
across the bay, exploded this afternoon,
killing twelve white men, and twelve or
fifteen Cinnamon. This is the third explo.
sion this company has sustained, all at
tended with loss of life. The explosion
occurred in the picking room, and all the
men at work there were killed. There was
about six thousand pounds of powder in
the room. All the victims were blown to
atoms-a large portion of the skull of
Chinaman was found with the queue at
attached. There were six houses inside
the works and they were all blown to
pieces, but the workmen in them escaped,
with the exception of one man in the mag
azine, of whom no trace has been found
Outside Of the works arc six houses, in
Guiding the boating house of the hands,
all of which were more or less
damaged, but are still standing.
The explosion is supposed to be
the result of carelessness. The work
men are hired by the piece and directed to
use wooden mallets in picking cartridges,
but they found they could work faster and
make more money by using iron hammers,
dangerous practice. 1t is supposed that
some man struck his cartridge once too
often and it went off, igniting the powder
before him, which communicated with the
above terrible result.

HOOK AND LADDER LADDIES.

Prospects of a Good Time Next Month.
Messrs Julius Levy, John K. Metzger
and Israel Carpenter, a committee of the
city, visited Chambersburs on Thursday
and Friday returning to Lancaster last
evening. Their business was to make ar
rangements for the visit of their company
next month. when Chambcrsburg will
have a grand fireman's parade in celebra-
tion of the centennial anniversary Of the
Friendship company. On that occasion
some twenty-five companies will be in line
from Hagerstown, Nd, Frederick. Nd,
Martinsburg, Va, Harrisburg, Car
Isle, Reading, Lancaster and other cities
in the state, and altogether Chambersburs
will have gala time.
The Empire boys will be the special
guests of the Hook and Ladder company
there which is composed of many of the
most popular young gentlemen of the city.
They will stop at the National hotel, which
is exclusively" engaged for their enter
tainment. A committee Of their hosts en-

the parade, which is level and easy, allow
ing them to draw the truck 10y hand, the
''machinc now being re!itted and re-
p .intcd for the trip. There are six fine
companies in Chambersburg, only one
steam engine being required, rs the eleva-
tion of the reservoir and the location of the
town allows OF water being thrown by
gravity to any necessary height or distance.
The Empire will leave here, sixty strong
with their apparatus and Clemens band,
on May 12, the day before the parade, at
1:15 a. m. and arriving in Chambersburg
at p. IN. In the evening they will be ban
quetted by the ladies of the town; and in
their new and handsome uniforms our
Lancaster company will, without doubt,
be one of the most striking features of the
parade.
