Forney, Republican State Ticket. FOR JUDGE OF TUE SUPREME COURT: Hon. HENRY GREEN, OF EASTON I oR AUDITOR-GENERAL : Hon. JOHN A. LEMON, OF BL AIR WE propose to publish on the first page of next week's JOURNAL truthful portraits of Gen.Janlcs A. Garfield and I;en. Chester A. Arthur, the Republican nominees for President and Vice President, together with biographical sketches of these dis tinguibbed gentlemen Go to work and organize Garfield clubs in every election district. CONGRESS adjourned at noon on Wed nesday, and the country breathes freer. JAMES G. BLAINE, the most popular man in America, is only fifty years old, and his time will come. GEN. GRANT i■ the only defeated Pres idential candidate who did not telegraph congratulations to Gen. Garfield. THE President has again vetoed the Marshals' Bill. Ile sent his message to the Senate, in which body the bill origi nated, on Tuesday night. THE rebel Brigadiers meet at Cincin- nati next Tuesday to name the man to be politically flayed by "great majority Gar field" next November. Set 'em up. Oua down town contemporary, the Globe, entered its thirty-seventh volume last week, looking as young and fresh as a Miss in her teens. We wish it long life and pros perity. "GREAT majority Garfield" is what they call him in the Western Reserve of Ohio, and after November next, when he shall have laid out the Cincinnati nominee, the title will become National. GEN. GARFIELD arrived in Washington on Tuesday morning, and he received a warm welcome from his friends and ad mirers. Blaine and Sherman called on him and tendered their congratulations. DEATH OF DR. BO A.RDMAN.—Rev. Henry A. Boardman, D. D., the well known and eloquent Presbyterian divine, died at his residence in Philadelphia, at seven o'clock on Tuesday morning. For forty years Ur. Boardman had been pastor of the Tenth Presbyterian Church, Twelfth and Walnut streets, that city. A DISPATCH from Memphis states that Gov. Albert G. Brown, of Mississippi, was thrown from his horse into a pond, near his home, on Saturday evening, and drowned. lie was Governor for two toms, and served his State in Congress and in the United States Senate. lie was 67 years of age. THE gavel used by Senator Hoar when he presided over the Chicago convention was made from wood taken from Lincoln's home, and the handle was a cane grown on the Mount Vernon estate. Senator Hoar made an excellent presiding officer, and we have no doubt he will highly prize this handsome and historic souvenier. THE Somerset /braid entered upon the fifty-fourth year of its existence last week, and celebrated its birthday by appearing in a new dress. The Herald is Republican all over, and we are glad to notice this evidence of its prosperity. Its editor, Col. Ed. Scull, is more fortunate than pencil shovers generally are as he is scarcely ever out of office of some kind. THE Indianapolis Journal looks at it in this logical light : "Lincoln in early life was a flatboatmen and rail-splitter. Gar field was a canal boat driver and carpenter. Lincoln afterward studied law, so did Gar. field. Lincoln's first name was Abraham, Garfield's middle rame is Abraham. Lin coln was nominated at Chicago, so was Garfield. Lincoln was elected, and so will Gai field be." TnE Creenbackers met in National con vention, at Chicago, on Wednesday of last week, and after bein- et.:on three days and one entire night, ci P. their folly by nominating James B. ver, of lowa, f)r President, and B F. 4 4110bers, of Texas, for Vice President. r. Weaver is at present a member of Congress from the Sixth district of lowa. We believe that previous to his joining Kearney's party he affiliated with the Republicans. Hendrick B. Wright, of this State, was a candidate for the empty honor of the nom ination, but his pole was too short to knock the persimmon. WE are in receipt of the initial number of the Altoona Sunday Call, a handsomely printed thirtyt wo column paper, filled to the brim with news and interesting read ing matter. We see no reason why the paper should not pay handsomely. It has been so long a time since we saw a copy of the daily Coll that we forget what it look ed like, but the reason why we do not get it in exchange, as we do all other dailies of the Mountain city, is, we presume, that its management must economize at every point to make it pay. We hope the Sun day edition will pay so well that the editor can afford to send us a copy of the daily. JAMES G. BLAINE. We, in common with the hundreds of thousands of friends and admirers of James G. Blaine throughout this free land, are sorry that he was not chosen to carry the Republican banner to victory in the polit ical battle of 1880, but the Philadelphia Press consoles his adherents by saying that the failure of his friends to secure his nom ination will not dim the lustre of the fame of that '•leader. of leaders" nor change his relations to the party and his time. lie remains to day, as he has been for these many years, the foremost man in the Re public, the popular idol and the sponta neous choice of four fifths of the Republi can voters of the nation for the most ex alted station which is in the reach of modern ambition—an office as great in its responsibilities and more glorious in its rewards than any to which the ambition of the ancients leaped or which ever was in the gift of the Praetorian Guard. Ile has failed to reach the place simply be cause, while he was filled with and has not denied the honorable aspiration which is the birthright of every American, and has been the first, free choice of his party, he has had no trained bands of mercenaries to fight in his behalf, no great captains to compel unwilling hosts to hoist his name— because, while the victory of the people has been great and far reaching, Mr. Blaine has been compelled this year to play the part of Samson, and to destroy his own chances of personal success with the destruction of the conspiracy which had been formed against the Republic and its sacred traditions. Editor. But there will be little disappointment and no heart-burnings over the postpone ment of James G. Blaine's call to the pres idency. lie is.predestined fur the place, and, unless republics are truly ungrateful and popular affection is but an ephemeral fancy, four years hence the nation will witness the realization of its fondest hope. As it is, the people can rest content with the laurels of the victory they have gain ed this year. Mr. Blaine is to be especially congratu lated on the happy result of the great bat tle in which he was the largest figure. Now that its confusion has cleared, his lofty stature is more than ever conspicu ous, and he stands more than a head and shoulders above all the multitude. It is to him that the country owes its happy deliverance, It was the votes of his friends and his delegates that nominated Garfield. lle is the author of the new political dis pensation, and will be, so far as such a thing is possible, the architect of the next Administration. He is young in years yet, and can afford to bide his time. In his case there is none of the hope deferred that maketh the heart sick. He has saved his party from the defeat that a week ago seemed inevitable, and delivered the country from the danger of Democratic rule and the restoration to power of the element whose overthrow in Congress gained him his greatest renown. His fame and the affection of the people for him must continue to grow, until the time shall come when there will be no contin gency or combination which can stand be tween his own and the people's victory. GARFIELD'S TARIFF RECORD. Nearly every Democratic newspaper that we have picked up since Gen. Garfield's nomination for the Presidency has con tained a falsehood concerning his tariff record, and the curb stone politicians of this town, who train with that party, and who get their political information from the pages of the Harrisburg Patriot, speak of him as an advocate of the doctrine of free trade, and charge him with being a member of the "Cobden Club," an organ ization which not more than one in ten of them knew was in existence. The per sons who make these charges exhibit their ignorance of the official history of the man they attempt to befoul. During his seven teen years of Congressional service his votes have always been recorded in favor of a protective policy, and the following letter, written by himself to a member of the Ohio Senate, in December, 1879, at the time of his nomination for United States Senator, ought to satisfy all fair minded men that these Democratic smut mills are attempting to detract from his fair record by the basest sort of prevari cation. Here is the letter : WARRINGTON, D. C.. Dec., 15, IS79—Dear Sir : Yours of the 12th inst., inclosing a slip from the Columbus Dispatch, is received. The writer of that article is ei.her stupidly ignorant or a willful falsifier. I have voted for every Republican tariff bill which has passed the House since I have been a member of it. I have made at least four elab orate speeches on the tariff since I have been in Congress, besides numerous short speeches in de bates. My first full speech on the subject was in 1866, the second in 1870, and the third and fourth in 1878. I have been recognized for several years past as the leader of the Republican party on this subject, and every Republican member of the House knows my position, and, as I believe, ap proves it. In 1868, I made a speech in favor of the resumption of specie payments, in which I discussed elaborately the doctrines of money, and the obligations of the nation to pay its debt. The Secretary of the Treasury sent some copies of that speech to our minister in London, believing that it would strengthen our credit abroad. John Bright received a copy, and was so pleased with it that he had me elected an honorary member of the "Cobden Club." I had never before heard of this club, and up to that time Charles Sumner was the only member of Congress who had ever been thus complimented. Some years after that, I learned that the "Cobden Club" believed in free trade, as nearly all Englishmen do, but, of course, I was in no way responsible for the belief. This matter had been repeatedly explained in the iron districts, and it is fully understood by our leading iron men. I represent one of the heaviest iron districts in Ohio and in Mahoniug county, where the largest mills and furnaces are situated, I ran ahead of the State and county ticket last year, and I have the support of almost every intelligent manufacturer of the district. I write this freely that you may understand how entirely without foundation the article is in the Dibpateh. Very truly, yours. J. A. GARFIELD. '•GARFIELD 15 a ifotiler," was the re mark the other day of a stalwart old Dem_ ecrat, from the country, who had not yet been entirely posted. When lie reads the Democratic papers of this week he will find out a great many other bard names for him, some of which it will take him some time to master. He will become fit miliar with such terms as "Mobilier," "De Golyer," "Free Trader," "Salary Grabber," &c., &c., and last, but not leact, be may learn that he is also a Christian, which, as the Demecrat;c party rarely docs business at that house, will be the most serious okiection of all, BROWN, the new Senator from Georgia, made a regular square-toed, set speech, in the Senate, on Saturday, in favor of the Government pensioning rebel soldiers. his speech will make a goad campaign docu ment. THE WORK OF THE WINDS. A terrible tornado swept through the southeastern part of Pottawattamie county, lowa, on the evening of the 9th lust , leaving death and destruction in its track. The cyclone is described by an eye-wit ncss : "The storm or wind-clouds were first observed forming both east and west of Wheeler's Grove, the point where the most destruction occurred, and in a short time came totrether. The cloud, which was eon ical in shape, came to the ground near the Grove, traveling eastward. The track of the storm was about a half mile in width and swept everything before it, demolish ing farm houses, barns, and other build ings, and carrying some of them bodily for hundreds of feet, then dashing them to the ground in pieces. At one place a far mer's house, surrounded by a frail fence, was picked up and then dashed to pieces in the yard, leaving every board of the fence remain in its place. There were from fifteen to twenty persons killed out right and many were wounded. Those known to have been killed were Jesse Asler, wife, and two children ; William Pace, wife, and his two children, and an other child fatally injured. Alex. Osier, wife, and child were carried in the air al most a hundred and fifty feet and seriously injured, child fatally; a hired man em ployed by the latter, name unknown, killed. Other persons, six or eight in number, were carried away and have not yet been found. After the storm the scene is described as heartrending. Parents were looking for their children, husbands for their wives, and wives for their husbands. Not a house in the track of the tornado was left stand ing, and there could not be found pieces eneuzh of some to start a fire with. The storm did not last fifteen minutes but was not accompanied by rain." MR. BLAINE appears to be a:victim of all the ill luck, or rather of all the vile cow• binations that are formed in the National Convention. In 1876 a majority of dele gates on different ballots voted for him, but they could not be combined on auy one ballot. Pennsylvania could then at any time have nominated him, but refused to do so. At the late Convention, with no less than four-fifths of the Republicans of the State ardently desiring his nomina nation, almost two thirds of their delegates oppoSed him on the first and every suc ceeding ballot. Pennsylvania could again have nominated him by giving him their unanimous support, to which he was fair ly entitled on every principle of even po litical fair dealing. The Repository was not, as is well known, an ardent supporter of Blaine ; but it believes in fair play, and insists that he was deprived of the nomination by ways that are dark.— Chambersburg Repository. A TELEGRAM, dated at Philadelphia June 11, says that Captain Rane, of the schooner Ellen A. Merritt, plying between that port and !an Antonio, reports that he was fired at on the high seas, fifteen miles east of Guanatamo, by a Spanish man-ofwar, first a blank shot, and then before the Merrill could come to a ball was fired passing through the rigging. A Spanish officer came aboard, looked around and departed. No words were ex changed. Ex SENATOR Stanley Matthews, of Ohio, was interviewed by a Philadelphia Times reporter, in that city, on Monday day night, and he looks upon Garfield and Arthur as being exceedingly strong can didates. lie says that the election in Ohio is a foregone conclusion ; that Garfield's nomination will bring out every Republi can voter, and that means success for the party. TEN persons were seriously poiqoued, a day or two since, in Williamsport, by eating lettuce that had been grown near a potato patch upon which Paris green had been used.

TITUSVILLE, June 11, 1880, A most destructive petroleum fire has been raging here all day and has perhaps not yet reached its bight It started about 7 A. M. in one of the tanks of the Tidioute & Titusville Pipe Line Company, being struck by lightning. Two other tanks of the same company took fire and exploded, the oil running down in streams of fire to Oil Creek. The location being on the south side of the hill at the head of Perry street, the Acme Oil Company refinery No. 2 fol lowed and has been burning all day. The loss is estimated at one hundred thousand barrels of crude and crude equivalent, be side their works. The flames spread over the bill, reducing to ashes all the dwell ings on Breed street. The Roberts hotel, close to the bridge, had not burned up to 7 o'clock, but several inferior dwellings below were consumed. The Franklin street bridge and the railroad bridge below have hitherto been saved by great exertions.— Franklin street and Washington and Per ry are full of drays and furniture from the houses emptied by the panic stricken ten ants. A southwest wind would threaten the Oil Creek Railroad depot and the ma chine shops and the Morning Herald block. But little apprehension is felt of such a catastrophe at present unless the wind should take an unfavorable turn. The fire departments of Corry, Warren, and Oil City are here ; there is plenty of water, and the men are working like heroes, and are refreshed and relieved from time to time. The refining business is the princi• pal prop of our home industry, offering employment to thousands, and the calamity is therefore: a severe one and felt by all the business and laboring classes. Mr. J. D. Archbold, the President of the Acme Oil Company, is now in New York City. The total loss so far in works and crude and crude equivalent is estimated at one million dullais, the principal losers being the Tidioute & Titusville Oil Pipe Line Company and the Acme Oil Company. The Keystone Refining Company is also destroyed, belonging to Pickering, Cham bers & Co., and valued at forty thousand dollars. They lose beside their works twenty-five thousand barrels, crude and distillate. Octave Refinery No. 3, north side of the creek, has so far escaped. Later estimates place the loss at two million dol lars. The fire is still raging and will probably last fur a day or two longer, but, unless the wind blows from the southwest, it will not extend to the north side of the creek nor attack the depot of the P. T. B. Railroad. A Terrible Accident Two Steamers Collide on Long Island Sound. ONE TAKES FIRE AND SINKS FIFTY LIVES REPORTED LOST. The slo.aniers Stoniogton and Narragan• sett collided on Long Island Sound, about 11 o'clock on Saturday night, the former striking the latter about midship, tearing a great hole in her side, exploding her gas tank and setting her on fire. About four hundred passengers were abed in the disabled steamer, and when the situation of affairs became known to them the wildest confusion ensued. According to the common story of many eye-witnesses, derived from all sources by telegraph, as well as from New York exchanges, the collision occurred in this way : The Narragansett left her pier in New York at 5 P. m. on Friday. The night was dark and cloudy, with some indication of rain. About 10:30 a heavy fug set in and continued up to and after the time of the accident. There was no sea and the water N‘4:3 very smooth when the vessels met. Both of them were carrying full lists of passengers, and at the hour of the accident most of the passengers on both boats had retired to their state-rooms. Neither vessel appears to have sighted the other in the narrow channel where they meet and pass very closely, until they were too near each other to check their head• way or back water. The Stonington struck the Narragansett on the starboard side at about the point of the forward gangway, and the joiner-work and guards were ripped away aft to the boiler-room. Soon after, it was discovered that fire had broken out on the Narragansett, seeming to come first from the engine room and then from the broken gas-tank, and within a few moments the steamer settled down; then, after burning above the water-line for a half hour, went down uutil her hurricane deck, or what remained of it, was knee-deep below the sea level, and all her passengers were in the water, drowned, floating on debris, in boats, in rafts, or swimming, and the Stonington and City of New York were doing their best to pick up the survivors. Her passengers number. ed between 300 and 350. They jumped into the water or sank with the steamer. The Stonington and the steamer City of New York, which was in the Narragansett's wake, picked up some 250 persons. It is supposed that the rest are lost. Twenty five are known to be and many are missing, but the Narragansett's passenger list went down with her. The collision occurred three miles from Cornhill Point and be tween five and six miles from Saybrook, Conn. The foggy night had driven most of the Narragansett's passengers either into the saloon or to their berths. When the colli sion occurred the Narragansett listed far over to port, and then, settling back, began making water rapidly. At the crash all or nearly all of the lights went out on both steamers. On the Narragansett it was evident that the blow had disconnected the pipes from the tanks of burning gas under pressure, with which the vessel was lighted In the darkness the greatest con fusion at once arose, and the officers of the boat soon found that sinking was inevitable. Captain Young had the fire alarm struck, and the hands set to work vainly to put out the fire The majority of the passengers saved, and who were first to reach the rescuing vessels, came from the state-rooms on the upper tiers, and some of these are of the opinion that many of those in the lower tier were unable to escape from their rooms. When the Narragansett careened after the acciJent, the Stonington backed off. and before she could be put under way and brought up beside her sister ship, she discovered that the latter was on fire and then held off. While the half clothed passengers of the Narragansett were run ning wildly about, the fire came in a great sheet of flame from the engine-room, and a moment later there was a sharp explosion, and a strong flash of light told that the gas tank had burst. The water for many hundred yards around was brilliantly illu minated. All the passengers who were out of their state rooms were now fully aware that a struggle for life was before them. stout lungs shouted out to the Stonington to to come up or send help, and attempts were made to get out the life-boats and rafts of the Narragansett, but without much success. When one boat wa■ got down it was discovered that, the plug-holes usually left open to allow rain water to run out, were still open and that no plugs were to be found. The passengers did what they could with their hats as bails to keep the boat clear of water when it was launched. A lite-raft, too, was got over board, and all sorts of movable material and freight were thrown into the water to afford support for the many passengers who, frightened by the fire, bad jumped over. Life preservers were plenty, but many of them were without straps, and it was im possible for the passengers to fasten the slabs of cork firmly to their bodies. It is reported that one man, crazed by fear, stood on the taffrail, drew from his pocket a pistol, and blew out his brains. One man having seen his son safely placed on a life-raft failed to reach it himself and was lost. One old woman was traveling with her two grandchildren, and sprang over board with both of them in her care. The whole three were saved. The passengers on the Narragansett were made almost frantic by the seeming delay on the part of the people on the Stonington in coming to their assistance. and shout after shout was sent from the Narragansett, now sinking as well as burning,' for help. The Narra gansett had seven life boats and three life rafts, and the Stonington an equal number, but the loss of all presence of mind was even greater on the Stonington than on the Narragansett. Among the Stonington's passengers, however, were some able to manage the boats, and when it was manifest that there was no danger of any sinking of the Stonington, all effort was made to get out her boats to the assistance of the passen gers of the Narragansett, who were now partly in the water, partly on the burri cane deck, shouting earnestly and piteous ly for help. The bulk of the rescuing was done by the passengers of the Stonington and by the crew of the City of New York ; the last-named vessel, under Captain Lamp hear, cowing up at about the moment the explosion tgok place and remaining at the place of the accident until 8 o'clock in the morning. Her boats were all manned. As the passengers from the Narragansett were hoisted on to the decks of the City of New York, they were received by the passengers of that boat with the greatest kindness. When it was considered that all it was possible to save had been rescued, the Stonington and City of New York drew up together, a gang plank was passed between them, and the majority of those who wished to go to New York were taken on board the City of New York. The estimate of the loss yesterday morning was fifty. The number of bodies said to have beiot recovered is twelve— four of ladies, five of men, and three of children. The Stonington and Narragansett were sister steamers. The Narragansett was built by J. W. Simonson & Co., of New York, and put on in 186 S. She was valued at $250,000 and insured for $150,- 000. She was 1,634 tons burden, ?53 feet long, 40 feet wide, and 15 feet deep. Her engines bad 8 inch cylinders and 12 feet stroke. Her boilers were renewed last fall at a cost of about $30,000.

Kendall & Co., Gents :—ln reply to your letter I will say that my experience with "Kendall's Spay in Cure" has been very satisfactory indeed. Three or four years ago I procured a bottle of your agent, and with it, cured a horse of lameness caused by a spavin. Last season my horse became very lame and I turned him out for a few weeks when he became better, but when I put him on the road he grew worse, when I discovered that a ringbone was forming, I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spay in Cure, and with less than a bottle cured him so that he is not lame, neither can the bunch be found. 62 52 62 52 I 0 75 9 00 -$ 94 40 Respectfully Yours, P. N. GRANGER. PERSEVERANCE WILL TELL. STOUGHTON, MASS., March 16th, 1880.—B. J. Kendall & Co.,Gente:—lo justice to you and my self, I think I ought to let you know that I have removed two bone spaying with "Kendall's Spavin Cure," one vary large one, don't know how long the spaviu had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the small one. I have used ten bottles. The horse is entirely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine. It is a new thing here, but if it does for all what it has done fur me its sale will he very great Respectfully Yours, CHAS. E.
