tons stating that The records of the Tf1b-
nae and Journal chapels show that com
mittees had been repeatedly appointed to
confer with A. Is. Nettleton, who at the
time had charge of the building, and
begged him to furnish proper means Of
escape in case of fire. THIS he refused to
do. The case was taken up by the trades
and labor assembly and a committee of
that body labored long and earnestly with
Nettleton, but all efforts failed. The:po
sitlon in which the only fire escape on the
building was placed rendered it practically
useless, and a prominent member of the
hre department has said that he has been
trying for three months to have an addi-
tional FIRE escape placed on the building.

He says he thinks there were still several
people on the eighth floor when escape

up in the elevator a few minutes before
the fire broke out and says they did not
come down again.

Gen. Nettleton issued a card to night in
which he denies any connection with the
burned Tribune building for two years
past, aud says that while he was in charge
OF it no persan or occupant ever requested
him for better facilities for escape in case
of fire. He explains the visit of the

We see 10y number of our exchanges that
many cities and villages intend devoting the
money set aside for Fourth of July purposes to
the relief of the destitute survivors of the late
food In the Conemaugh Valley. This is all right
aud proper far as 1t goes But what is to pre-
vent these charitable towns from doing both
celebrating and sending money and supplies
TO Johnstown. Patriotism, ms well as charity is
something which every citizen should cultivate.
If our country is worth living in it is worth
loving. Monroe sun.
Right, neighbor. Sending supplies
to the Johnstown sufferers and Gel
ebrating the Fourth of July are sep
arate and distinct things. 1t is greatly
to the credit of the American people
that the contributions to the survivors
of the flood in the valley of the
Conemaugh were SO ready and goner-
Gus that the Governor OF Pennsyl-
vania has asked that further contri-
buttons he deferred until it can be
ascertained whether more than enough
has not already been received. The
Fourth of July should be celebrated
by the people of every city and ham
let in the land, and nothing ought to
be allowed to stand in the way of Il
right observance of the day. 1t is un-
necessary to spend vast sums of
money in celebrating or to use funds
required for charitable purpose; but
the day ought to be celebrated yearly
by the whole people as day of de
liveranee, second only in Importance
to that which gave To the world the
Redecmer of mankind.
