Grant Will Stick.

A Galena, Illinois special to the
Chicago Tribune says the Galena Ga
zette who is personal friend of
General Grant and knows whereof
he asserts, will publish the following
tomorrow: "An item has been going
the rounds of the press asserting that
Geo. w. Childs. of the Philadelphia
Ledger, has stated that Gen. Grant
would order his name withdrawn
from the contest at the national con-
vention in Chicago. Neither Geo. w.
Childs nor any one else has authority
for making su III an assertion Gen.
Grants name has never gone before
the public rs a candidate for the prGsi-
dency by any word or act of his own
and he most certainly will not order
his name withdrawn. A very large
class of the American people have
chosen to make him their candidate
and if the Republican national con-
vention at Chicago sees fit to tender
him the nomination he will not de-
cline it. This we know to be "A fact
and we publish il because it is well
that the Republicans of the country
should cease to hold the matter i'm

Another Oil Town Burned.

Pittsburgh, May 23.-Last night
about O'Clock a fire started in the
United States hotel at Edenburg,
Clarion county, Pa, consuming sew
enty buildings before it was controlled.
4 special to the COnmnlerctat Gazette
says: About 0 o'clock last evening
flames were discovered issuing from
the windows of the United States
hotel, and unoccupied buildings sit
uated on Railroad street, which soon
spread to the adjoining houses and be-
fore drop of water was thrown or
building razed, twenty buildings Were
in flames. From Railroad street to
Main the confiagration rolled on, des-
troying everything of an inflammable
nature that stood in the way. From
Main to Penn avenue and down the
latter thOroughfare it swept destroy
ing in all rs buildings, among which
are the post office, Clarion county bank
Browns hotel, United States hotel
and the United pipe line offices. The
loss will aggregate $3.50, 900, on which
there is little or no insurance. Up

How to Make a Flag.
tAmeriean Agricuiturist for Juns.l


"H. @. NJ" Rockland Co., N. Y,
who is probably inspired by the ap-
proach of the 9TH of July and its
associations, write toask how to make
a flag, and adds that "it will be of
interest to all your readers that love
the American Flag" In the first
place the materal for flag for service
is Bunting, thin fabric Of wool,
made especially for the purpose. This
is light and strong, and bears the con-
slant whipping by the wind better
than any other material. Flags for
certain uses are made of silk, and II
for merely decorative purpose may
be made of any desired stuff. The
flag consists of two parts, the Field
and the Union. According to the re-
gulations, the depth of a flag should
be 1019ths of it's width. In ordinary
usage, half as long will come near
enough The depth of a flag is called
its head, and its length, from the staff
outward, the fly. The Field consists
of 13 stripes of red and white, standing
FOR the l3 original States, beginning at
the top with red. The Union is i'm
the upper corner next the staff 1t
is seven stripes deep, and four tenths
the length of the field; it is blue, with
white stars, one for each State of the
Union. We do not know if there is
any regulations for the size of the
stars. Formerly the small stars were
grouped to form one large star on the
blue field of the Union, but now the
regulation is they shall be "in equi-
distant horizontal and vertical lines"
The better way to fix upon the size for
the stars is to first make a paper pat
tern; cut the stars from paper, and
change the size until the proportion
seems right. Recollect that star
should always be tive-pointed, with
one point pointing upwards. We
hope that these dimensions will help
III. G. A" and many others to make
handsome American Flag, and,
Long may it wave"

The Heading Railroad.

The biggest excitement in financial
circles for some years was caused by
the failure of the Reading Railroad
Company topay its debts last week.
This used to be profitable road
But it went into the mining business
and has been crippled every since.
in 1871 the Coal aud Iron COMPANY
was organized and began to buy coal
mines. On so large a scale has this
been done that the value of its real
property was estimated Nov. 80, 1879,
at $50 .699, 799.45. But its liabilities
are $63, ,062, ,S64.O4, of which the Read
ing Railroad holds over $47, 900, 900.
The railroad company advanced the
enormous sums needed for the pur
chase of mining properties, and they
have not been repaid, because the
Coal and Iron company has been a
failure.
Last year the Coal and Iron com.
pany made a net loss of 500, 900 on its
operations, while 81 800, 900 of interest
which 1t could not pay accrued
against it. This was its record from
year to year. The Railroad had to
carry it and did so until it had thus
and otherwise piled up on its own ac-
count a floating debt of $1,000. 900
besides funded debt of over s75, ,OOO,-
QUO, liability on capital stock of nearly
$50, ,069, 900 and other items making a
total Of over $4,000, 900.

RIdgway Bucket Brigade is the
title OF All organization which does
not exist. Although, without anv
discipline at all this brigade has In
times past done good service at fires in
this village. In view of the fact that
30 many towns have been laid In
ashes within a few weeks the questions
suggests themselves what protection
has Ridgway against fire? Again are
we not liable at any time to be burned
out? OF course on all sides the an
swers to these questions are the same:
We have no protection. And are
liable at any time to suffer the fate of
Rev City, Rixford, Milton, Couders-
port, on Edenburg. Then, are we as
citizens doing our duty in supinely
sitting by without at least an effort to
do something to effect any sudden
outbreak of fire? Water we have in
abundance. But we have no conven-
ience for getting the water to fire,
neither engine, hose, or ire plug.
Therefore we are at the mercy of the
devouring element. A suggestion
right here may not be out of order, it
is this: Let the citizens purchase 100
wooden buckets, and have them well
painted inside and out, tlien a ladder
sufficiently long to reach the roof of
the highest buildings. Perhaps Mr..
r. V. Kline would furnish land on
Powell & Kime's alley on which to
erect building sufficiently large to
hold the buckets. The ladder could
be hung on hooks attached to the side
of Powell & Kime's store. Let the
bucket house be locked, of course in
case of fire the lock could be easily
broken even if the key was not at
hand, thus giving free and ready ac-
cess to our bucket brigade equipments.
A company might then be formed of
young men who would style them
selves the Ridgway Bucket Brigade.
All the other men would be on hand
to render assistance when necessary.
A few evenings drill would enable
our Brigade to open the bucket house
form a double row of men from Main
street, down Powell & Kime's alley to
Hydes race, one line to pass down
the empty buckets the other line to
pass up the full ones, until In u few
minutes continuous stream of water
would flow into Main street. BY using
the ladder stream could be conveyed
to the roof of any building on the street.
The expense would be trhe while
in case of fire great amount of pro-
perty might be saved by this simple
means. At fires generally it is diff
cult to get buckets in time, aud for
want OF all organized effort still more
difficult to get lines formed to pass the
water. Having the buckets handy
would do away with the fl rst objection
while the organization we suggest
would make the other easy. Any one
wishing to join this brigide may
leave his name at THE ADVOCATE
office, when if no one else acts in the
matter we will endeaver to put our
theory in practice. Will some person
nussost som OF hing hntter?

May 30th, falling on Sunday. Chill
w. Hazard, Commander Of the De.
partment of Pennsylvania, Grand
Army of the Republic has issued in
struction to the Comrades of the

observance of the day. Fit it is that
all citizens should place garland of
flowers, watered with tears, on the
graves of those brave defenders of our
nation who now silently sleep that last
sleep in the cemeteries of our broad
Commonwealth. This day of all the
days should be appropriately observed
for around the memory of those dead
heroes shall patriotism fondly linger
and in remembrance of their suffering
and death shall we hand down to the
remotest generations the legend of
their virtues that our children's S
children shall never forget that par
triotism and love of country is one of
the surest corner stones of our free
government. Let the heroes rest in
peace. May their memory ne'cr be
forgot.

Execution Of q Buffalo Murderer,

BUFFALO, May IA. - Carl Manke
was hanged here this morning for the
murder of John Altotf, at Elma, April
2. 1879. From the time of his SEN
tence following his second conviction
Manke has maintained stOlid indif
ference to his fate, and with a beastly
manner refused the attentions of a
clergyman. Wednesday his wife re
quested a parting interview. He re-
fused to see her. During the last few
days Manke partially admitted his
guilt; said Altof was good for nothing
and his death matter of no regret
among his neighbors. He slept
soundly last night and break lasted
hearty. He refused to be washed and
dressed for execution, using violent
oaths to the attendants, breaking the
comb and attempting to tear his cloth
ing. He also refused to see his spir-
itual adviser. When pinioned and
led to the Sheriff's Office, where SER
vices were held, he made no answer
to the minister's prayer. you don t
know the holy spirit, you steer" He
was asked where he wanted to be
buried. He replied: ut makes no
difference to me-" He continued
stubborn to the close, and without a
struggle life was extinct four and a
half minutes after the trap fell.
