On Tuesday the EVENING JOURNAL
stated that the hrelnen Of the city We're
complaining that the fire alarm service
was working badiy. On Wednesday, Mr.
Aydon. superintendent Of the system,
denied the statement, through this paper
He said that ne had visited all or nearly
all Of the engine houses and found the
service giving satisfaction.
A reporter Of this paper called at a
few of the engine houses this morning to
investigate the matter. At the Washing
ton headquarters, Joseph Green, the
driver, denied that he had told Mr..
Aydon that the alarm was working prop
erly. He said to the reporter:
II am not an electrician, but know
that indicator and gong do not work
right told Aydon that the alarm did
not work well on the Fourth. He said
the heavy rains caused that.
For several months past the
alarm worked better than ever before.
but since the first of this month it has
worked worse than ever before. On some
occasions the indicator registers, but the
gong does not strike; at other times the
gong strikes while the indicator does not
register at the 8 o'clock test this
morning the gong struck, tbut the indi-
Gator did not move. There is something
the matter and it should be repaired
The Phoenix indicator did not strike on
July at the alarm from box No. a.
The City Hall bell was not rung at Q
o'clock this morning as it should have
been.
At the Delaware truck house a member
Of the company stated that the service is
very unsatisfactory. The gong did not
ring, nor did the indicator register at the
test signal this morning. Last week the
alarm from box % came in 2. box 30
struck 321. Several cases Of like charac-
ter occurred recently.

letter was authorized by the company.

when they read it in this mornings paper
One of the Oldest members in the com

who wrote that article a good dose of wa

American Strawboard Company of Chi
cago, Illinois. The original enterprise
was organized in 1882 with a capital stock

Kent county capitalists. The mill was
fitted out with the most approved appli-
ances for the work to be done.
Other buildings have since been erected
by Mr. Eliason, and many other improve
ments In machinery. etc, have been made
at an expenditure of about $75, 600. The
mill was conducted by the stock company

A MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
Cause OF the Disaster at Towande Nc
Determined.

Cause OF the Disaster at Towande Not
Determined.
No cause has been found for tho boilor
explosion at the Towanda nail works last
week by which five men were killed
and two fatally wounded. Tho accident
appears TO closely resemble tho boiler
explosion nj the Lancaster chemical
works. The Bradford Argus says
"The cause of the explosion IL unknown.
The boiler was known ~ No. I, and was in
charge Of Engineer Anson Witheroll from
o'clock In the morning until p. M, the
time of tho explosion. Mr.. Haskell, an
boiler. Mr.. Godcbarles, ono of the frm,
thinks there was water In II, because
he could see water in tho track of tho
boiler, which was of 10 horse power,
and he claims II had been recently tested.
He believes there Is no accounting for tho
explosion. The entire south end of the
large shop collapsed and 10 one mass of
broken timber and twisted iron. Tho loss
cannot fall short Of about 5000. The mill
will be at once rebuilt and work resumed.
The boiler shot westward and struck q
coal car standing upon the track and took
the end off from 1t slick and clean, then
striking the railroad II cut two rails In
twain as II they were pipe stems, and went
on ploughing up the HILL making n ditch
some three feet Wide by fifteen inches
deep, and landed in n neighboring garden
across the street about one hundred feet
from its foundation. Both ends Of the
boiler appeared to be blown out and SOW
eral holes were found In its sides which
journey up tho hill. One entire end of the
works was demolished and bricks, timber
and lumber OF all kinds were thrown In
every direction"

The Question,

The Grand Army needs TO have q
guardian appointed for IL not content
with endorsing Tanner at Milwaukee,
one of its posts elected from car General
Sherman, who had been giving bis SER
vices to II for four days and was
seeking rest in an empty coach, that
happened to be deserted by one of
the Chicago posts. The general got into
the wrong car, and the fellows to whom
1t belonged did not have enough consid-
Grafton for him 10 let him stay
there. They had the colored por-
ter order him out. The generals
brother says that they were hogs ;
which conveys an accurate descrip-
tion of them. They were Grand Army
hogs in other words, were selfish and
unworthy members Of that organization,
or OF any other respectable society.
There are all sorts of men I'm the Grand
Army, which IL drawn from the con-
scripts, and substitutes who filed
the army, in the latter days
Of the rebellion, as well as from the
volunteers who were Its first aud best
material. 1t Is inevitable that society
30 formed should have hogs and Tanners
in II ; and the question Is, since they
have endorsed Tanner, whether there IL
a saving amount Of decency In the
whole crowd.

A Strange Gift,

To-day il said to be holiday, by the
grace Of our Legislature, granted espe-
cIally to labor and denominated Labor
Day. New York has done the like. IL
= however only labor day for laborers
q they want 1t, which they do not seem
- do. They can take holiday any
day that they want ii and il is not very
aoinar that the Legislature has given them
anything In declaring the day holiday.
It satisfied the buncombe purpose of the
DrgiHlatos who voted for it, who aimed
to create the impression that they were
bowling down TO and worshiping
labor; but the laborer who takes holi.
Day to-day and finds himself without
his days wages at the end of it, may
perchance suspect that holiday that Is
given him at his own expense is not
Oue that is worth much to him. II is
astonishing that the Legislature should
c0er holiday TO labor at laoor's cost,
end think that II has done a great thing
sor labor; and the probability is that
there was not legislator who thought
ne Was doing anything of the kind but
ehsy thought that the laborer would be
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1889-09-02

silly enough to think so and 90 they
followed the lead of their bell
wether in voting Labor Day holiday ;
. contradiction in terms which fully
expresses the barrenness Of the gift. 1t Is
stone instead of bread. If the state
wants to give holiday to the laborer
II can only do II with an accompanying
appropriation. The laborer who lives
upon his daily wages cannot afford a
holiday. He needs the money that he
earns daily and II he can spare II, he
can take his own holiday when It suits
him, a. we have suggested, and 60 a
fishing without asking the leave Of the
Legislature. To make Labor Day holi-
day, the Legislature will need to give a
dollar with the day TO the laborers Of
the state.

The Turning Point of the war.

Major Thomas J. NEWMAN writes in the
-. Louis Globe Democrat: ~ met Gen,
sherman two years ago at the Lindell
hotel, and IN the course of long converse
ton asked him what he considered the
critical event or turning point OF the war.
His reply was that what he considered the
critical event OF turning point of the war
was little incident that occurred in the
woods Of Tennessee short time after tho
battle of Corinth-the intended resignation
Of Gen. Grant. Sherman had been on spe-
cial duty with his command and had re-
turned 10 report TO Gen. Hslleck. While
at Halleck's headquarters he was informed
that Grant had determined TO resign. He
lShermanl got ON his horse and rode
direct to Grants headquarters, some dis
tance away. He found Grant with mum
ber of papers before him on an improvised
table. Grant and Sherman shook hands
cordially. Sherman asked Grant what he
was doing, and also told him that he had
heard that he Grant was going TO resign
Grant handed Sherman paper, which
proved to be his resignation already written

sureriors. If | can't command brigade
