TITERT: is danger of soon having thi
most disorderly, rude and rowdyish boys
and young men in Columbia, that ever con
stituted a portion of our population. If any
one doubts the assertion, let him go to an
entertainment at Odd Fellows' ball, no mat
ter what day of the week. Tho moment
these boys are inside the Hall, they act as
if the Hall was exclusively their own, and
that the entertainment, whatever it may be
was gotten up to contribute alone to their
enjoyment. They whistle, stamp, scream
out, eat peanuts and are guilty of all other
imaginable misdemeanors. In fact the
boys have become such a nuisance, that
they should either be excluded from the
Hall altogether, or be attended there by
their parents. Constable McGinnis ought
to arrest at least ono half of them and put
them in the lock-up. We never saw such
boys. We are almost led to believe that
their training at home is reflected by their
conduct in public, on the street, and in the
Hall. Several citizens have requested us
to secure the names of these wicked boys
(some of them are approaching manhood
too) and publish them, and we propose to
do it at an early day. It is unendurable,
and this evil, is among the greatest causes
for the reluctane—• of any respectable citizen
to attend anattertainment at the Hall with
his family. They should be dealt with
summarily, and this unendurable nuisance
promptly abated.

There was a small but appreciative audi

important duties to their children.
A PLAIN Dt-rv.—The prosperity of a
town depends not only on the individual
energy of her citizens, but also on their co
operation. The interests of a place should
be felt to be the interest of each citizen, and
whatever can be done to advance the growth
prosperity, and wealth of Columbia, should
receive the cheerful snpport of everyone.
The want of a more bountifully supplied
market has long been felt. The prices ob
tained here are proportionally higher than
in any town or village in the county. The
natural cause or this is that the supply is
not equal to the demand. At this time
business in the manufacturing line, may
be said to be active. The rolling mills are
both running, though not full. All the fur
naces except one, and that not in town, aro
in full blast ; the planing mills are over
run with work, employing extra hands;
other inter ests too have brought a greater
number of persons to town than usual.
These accessions swell our population, and
demand a greater supply of provisions,
Yet has that supply increased? We are of
the opinion that there has been rather a di
minution, as the $lO,OO license tax has had
a tendency to keep an occasional caterer
from the market.
The remedy lies in appeals to our country
friends, through the papers, through per
sonal representations, &c. Much of the
produce which now goes to Lancaster
ought to come here, and if the farmers but
know that it is to their advantage to sell
here, and invest again with Columbia mer
chants a reaction might set in. Farm pro
duce commands from 10 to 20 per cent.
higher prices hero than in Lancaster, and
prices of store commodities aro equally
low, and in many cases lower. Let the
larmer study his interests and seek a mar
ket for his produce just where ho can com
mand the highest rates. Let every citizen
try to impress this fact on his farmer friends
and a be:ter supplied market will be secur
ed. In addition to these public and indi
vidual efforts, council will officially sanc
tion these facts and urge them upon the
attention of the people.

COLLAPSE AT THE ROLLING MILL AND
Loss or Ltrn.—On Tuesday morning at 3
o'clock,just as the town clock was striking,
a fine in one of the large boilers in the Co
lumbia Rolling Mill collapsed with terrible
force, the steam and water being forced out
with such power as to curry away the base
of the brick stack, scattering the bricks and
mortar all over the building. The base of
the stack being forced away the stack drop
ped to the ground floor of the mill. It oc
curred at a time when the smallest number
of workmen wore in the mill or the result
would have been terrible. As it was about
a dozen were standing or working near at
the time of the collapse, some of whom were
dangerously, and two fatally injured.
Amos Hess, aged about .IS years, a son of
Christian Hess of this place, who was
standing at the rollers, with an iron hook
in his hand, received the severest injuries.
Ho was stripped entirely of his clothing his
whole body except his feet being scalded.
The story that he was driven head foremost
through the spindles is a mistake—no such
testimony could be reached during the cor
oner's investigation. It was the invention
of terrified workmen. He died about 3
o'clock in the afternoon.
John Albright, son of Peter Albright, on
Fifth street, aged 16 was scalded very badly
and though perfectly free from bruises,
died about ten o'clock in the evening.
John Mentzer, aged about 16, son of
widow Mentzer on Union street, was
another victim. Ho was badly scalded,but
hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Michael McCall was the fourth victim.
He was standing near the furnace ; a steam
pipe fell across him, which resting on a
support kept the debris from crushing him.
George Beaver, was scalded and cut about
the head, but not dangerously ;seyeral others
were,but not seriously,injured. Had the ac-
cident occurred an hour or even half an hour
later the result would have beonterrible. The
night men were preparing to go home, and
in about half an hour, the day men would
have been on duty.
The funeral of John Albright, took place
this Friday afternoon, and was largely at
tended.
The reports sent over the country were
extrayagantly exaggerated. In Lancaster
it was reported that 100 mon were killed,
and the mill a mass of ruins. In Middle
town rumor had 50 men killed and as many
dangerously wounded; sad as it was, we
feel grateful that it was no worse.
Deputy Coroner Fraley summoned a j ury
consisting of C. J. :Course, Thos. Supplce,
G. T. Fobes, George Young Jr., Hiram.
Wilson and J. W. Yocum to investigate the
cause of death ,Cc., of Albright and Hess.
The jury met on Wednesday morning at
S o'clock and after visiting the remains of
the two deceased, proceeded to the Roll-
ing mill and held an inquest of the cause of
death, together with an investigation into
tit diets attending the collapse, &c. We
give the principal evidence.
Dr. Alex. Craig, affirmed, stated that he
bad examined Hess, was scalded over the
entire surface of the body, except his feet
two bruises on his back, two on his breast.
Death caused by shock of collapse,no reac
tion; examined Albright, who was without
marks of any kind, was scalded mostly
along back and limbs. Died of shock, no
reaction. These were the only deaths he
knew of.
George Eager, sworn. I am Heater at No.
3 Furnace, was standing at furnace when
explosion occurred. The water tender,
Potts, had just come dowh from No. 4 holler
and passed over towards No. S. The night
watchman had just passed as explosion took
place. All ran out of the mill except
Mentz-r and McCall, pipe lying on McCall,
I pulled him out. Did not see Hess after
taking McCall out. Think that the holler
had not sufficient water. Shock occured
at 3: 10. Potts, water tender, went to boiler
only a few moments before explosion.
Usually goes up every 10 or 15 minutes.
Blast was on . Explosion occured only e
minute or so after Potts was up.
Harrison Rowo sworn—Testified to the
fact that sixty - five lbs. of steam are goner
buy - carried";dia One - Rnow if steam was
shut off from main steam pipe or not.
Tobias Mauningsworn. I am day water
tender. Fire went out of furnace at 2 oclock
P. M. on Monday; left two solid gauges of
water. Tender ought not to be more than
ten or fifteen minutes from boiler. All the
boilers had water-check valves except Nos.
3 and 3, they had water-stop valves. They
have not been known to rob each other of
water. The explosion was caused by want
of sufficient water. Never knew of the
boiler foaming.
Wm. Madden sworn, Ant a laborer, take
ashes the furnace, steam was cut off,
and Potts know it as he admitted it.
T. Skeen, sworn, believes that low water
was cause of collapse. Iron of flues 3-16
of an inch thick, contained several flaws,
such as most iron contains, though not such
as could be detected. Iron looks good ;
thinks that the boiler with proper care was
safe.
C. S. Kauffman affirmed that he considers
boiler a good one, in good conuition. The
disaster resulted from collapse, for want
of water,and in sudden heating of flues.
Benj. E. Jenkins, sworn. I saw Albright
running out towards the pig iron fence,with
back naked, clothes torn off by steam. Hess
passed me also with back naked.
Geo. Shintou sworn. lAm a heater. 'My
opinion is that there was too little water in
boiler. Boilers have been working right
all along, the boilers did not rob each other
of water.
EMCEE
IiEM
George Getz, sworn, I Am engineer,night
turn. Potts came to me about five minutes
before explosion and told me that no was
about to connect boiler with main steam
pipe. It was not customary to disconnect.
Saw Hess in the mill after the explosion.
He asked me where he was cut, as the blood
was trickling down his neck. The steam
at the time of the explosion was lower than
at any time during the night; was carrying
only 50 lbs. Do not consider Potts compe
tent to manage boilers, he does not know
enough about them, as he came to me to
know bow to force water in when steam
was up. He is not as competent as they
generally are. After explosion went round
with Potts and light weighed all the valves.
Owen Matthiot, Sworn. Helper, saw
Potts at the boiler often during the morn
ing, trying the gunge cock, about every 13
minutes. Ho was frequent and particular
in his visits. Never said anything about
difficulty in keeping water in the boiler.
Henry Decker, Sworn. Am night boss,
thought Potts was careful about boiler,
though I often cautioned him.
Samuel Beaver, and John Thomas were
sworn, but developed nothing relative to
the explosion.
The jury then adjourned till 4 o'clock, I'
M., when Wm. K. Pott.:;, the water tender
testified as follows :
I went on duty at 3 o'clock, my regular
time is G. Boiler was full to top gnage,was
at boiler ono minute before explosion. The
water pipes of Nos. 3 and 4 are connected,
with no check valves between. Was water
tender one year at. Harrisburg car shops ;
had four boilers there. Had thirteen:boilers
in this mill, never had any treable in keep
ing water up. When boilers were full I stop
ped the water off. Had no trouble in tak
ing water. Safety valve always worked ;
put no additional weight on safety valves,
though there were such weights. Charged
boiler at 3 o'clock, steam stop valve was
shut off, no connection with main steam
pipe. Never saw the boiler blow off. Had
tried safety valve and always found it work
ing right. Had not moved weight on valve
lever fur a week. I did not consider my
self thoroughly competent, but at first de
pended on Manning. I tried the water
gunge only about ono minute before the ex
plosion. Was at No 5 when explosion oc
curred.
George Shinton, recalled ; I always look
ed at the safety valves, us I felt more secure
if they were right; I have heard _No. 4 boil
er blow-off. At the time of explosion the
weight was about 4 inches from the end,
At times I thought there was danger and
called the attention of the water tender to
the blue steam.
Mr. Manning recalled, stated, that the
weight was 22 inches from pin where safety
valve lever rests on valve.
Zimmerman Supple° affirmed, exhibited
a drawing of the valve; length of lever from
fulcrum to end 31 inches. The ball weight
85 lbs. At time of explosion weight 22 inches
from fulcrium ; to raise valve and allow
steam to blow of would require OS} lbs., of
steam and if weight was at the end it would
require 130 lbs. ; would not consider the
boiler safe with 081 lbs., of steam.
George Getz,recallecl, stated that he never
saw the steam guage indicate more than 70
lbs.
In answer to the question whether that
collapse could have taken place, when the
boiler was full of Water, and the valve prop
erly adjusted Mr. Supplee answered that it
might; and in answer to the question
whether the steam gunge at the engine
would really indicate the steam pressure in
the boiler, ho replied that he could not tell,
us considerable friction and condensation
would result in the passage of the steam to
the engine.
The jury rendered a verdict as follows :
"That the deceased came to his death from
scalds and other wounds received from the
effects of the collapse of a flue in boiler No.
4 at C. S. Maltby's Rolling Mill at Colum
bia, Pa., on Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock
May 31, 1370. Prom the testimony given
thejury is unable to decide whether the col
lapse of the flue resulted from low water or
undue pressure, but it is our opinion that
the shutting off of said boiler from the main
steam pipe was wrong, also that the iron in
the flue of said boiler was too thin, that the
boiler would have been safer if there hal been
regular check valves to each of the boilers
in addition to the waterstop valve, so as
to prevent the possibility of the water being
driven by pressure from one boiler to
the other; also that the boiler would
havebeen safer if the gunge cocks had been
placed higher."

in my line, and if I do not sell you tobacco
segars, pipes, ktc., cheaper than you car
buy elsewherej do not ask you to buy; call

was observed all over the country as the
memorial floral tribute to the memories of
our fallen Heroes. The arrangements in
charge of the different committees having
been completed, the ceremonies passed off
pleasantly, all classes of citizens participa
ting. The line was formed at Odd Fellows'
Hall, along Second street, right resting on
Locust. All places of business were closed
and the town had put on her holiday attire.
At precisely four o'clock the procession
moved up Locust street with solemn and
measured tread to the cemetery, in the fol-
owing order:

At the cemetery, the column halted near
the Soldier's lot where the different delega
tions were formed in mass in front of the
sneaker's stand. The Band then played a
dirge while the soldier's assisted by the
following named youngladies, Misses Alice
Herr, Lillie Welsh, Alice Vache, Josie Pat
ton, Annie Fendrieb, Della Strickler, Em
ma Erwin, Lizzie Graver and Rose Mason,
proceeded. to strew flowers on the grayes.
Loving hands had already placed choice
flowers on the tomb and many, were liter
ally covered with roses immortelles, arbor
vitae, ‘3.. The ceremony was very affect
ing and the moistened oyes testified to the
deep affection entertained for the sacred
dead.
From 4000 to 5000 persons had gathered
in the cemetery and so dense was the crowd
that it was difficult for the soldiers to per
il:MlTl their sad duty. We never before wit
nessed such a spontaneous out-pouring of
the people. The Quartette sang,
" O'er the graves of the loved ones,
Plant Beautiful flowers."
just as the ceremonies of decoration were
coucluded.
As the soldiers and young ladies approach
ed the stand Mr. Chas. P. Shreiner offered
up the following prayer :
0 ! Thou great and adorable Jehovah,
King of Kings and Lord of Lords; we
the creatures of Thy care and the ob
jects of Thy love, would humbly come
into Thy presence and supplicate Thy di
vine blessings upon the solemn exercises
of this day.
Spared again as we have been, through
another year from the ravages of war, dn.-
ease mid death, and surrounded on every
hand by the tokens of Thy love and good
ness, we would heartily thank Thee, the
Giver of all good, that we are permitted
again to perform this sad, but beautiful
service over the graves of our fallen com
rades. 0 ! Lord our Heavenly Father
meet Thou with us! Solemnize our
thoughts its we are here gathered together
at the graves of the nation's honored dead
to decorate them with earth's fairest flow
ers, and may we here remember their
weary mama, hard fought battles, self-sac
rificing devotion to duty, and noble
deaths; that their many virtues may be
enshrined iu our hearts, and the land they
died to save may ever be the " land of the
free and the home of the brave." Do Thou
O! Lord give us hearts thud shall he
thankful for all the privileges we enjoy
and for what these brave men have secur
ed to us, and may we who are yet living
dedicate ourselves anew to the service of
our common country, for which these
brave but fallen :men. have died. And we
would not forget in these soldinn exercises
the widow and the orphan of these heroes.
O Thou! who art the Judge of the widow
and father of the fatherless, take these into
Thy care and keeping and may Thy Wee:s
ing, rest richly upon them, that want and
distress may never enter their dwellings,
and may their children become the honor
ed sons and daughters of an honored coun
try. Do Thou, 0 Lord, bless the surviving
soldiers and those who have assembled
here to pay this sad tribute to the dead sol
dier of the Republic. May we their com
panions emulate their noble example and
ever cherish their memory green in our
hearts, and may the tires of liberty ever be
kept burning in all our hearts, and wo be
found ever true to the principles for which
our friends and brothers died. May this
land be preserved ln its greatness and pu
rity and be the land that Thou, 0 ! Lord.
wilt own and bless, and may it long live
nd be the home and asylum for the down
trodden and oppressed of all lands.
Bless, Oh, Lord ! our whole country,
from North to South, from East to 'West and
may Union and Peace and Brotherly Love
abound among all the people, that we may
fatal the high destiny Thou bast marked
out for us, and leave for coining generations
a noble Country for which noble men fought .
and died. Conduct the further exercises of
this day to Thy praise and the good or
the people, and when wo come to pass away,
may we triumph over the last enemy—
death—and in that aingdom where flowers
never fade and war's dread alarm is not
heard, may we all meet again, with those
who have gone before and who have come
up out of great tribulation, having fought
a good fight and are safe in the mansions
of eternal peace. These blessings we ask
In the name of our great Redeemer.
Anion.
The choir under the direction of Mr. Thos.
Supplee then sang the following hymn to
the tune of Martin.
Wreaths we bring that n'er shall fade,
Greener with the passing years,
Brighter for our sorrow's shade,
Jewelled with our falling tears.
Dying that the truth might live,
Here they rest in Freedom's name,
Giving all that man can give—
Live for Glory's deathless fame.
Bend in love, 0 azure sky !
Shine, 0 stars! at evening time !
Watch where heroes calmly lie,
Clothed with faith and hope sublime
God of nation, bless the land
Thou hest saved to make us free !
Guide us with thy mighty hand.
Till all lands shall come to Thee I
Maj. A. C. Reinmhl, the orator of the day
was then introduced who delivered the fol
lowing oration:
COMRADES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.—
In the short but eventful history of our
country, there aro days, the annual return
of which are tilled with thrilling interest.
The Fourth of July, the birthday of Amer
ican Freedom has ever been celebrated
with wild and unrepressed entuusiasm.
On this day eloquence indulges in its lofti
est flights, music with its loudest notes
fills the ear with national airs that thrill
every heart, and the eye brightens with
pride as it rests on the stars and stripes
floating from window and house-top. The
irrepressible spirit of the people that crush
ed kingly despotism on the American soil
is everywhere effervescing in jubilations.—
Coining down to later times, we recur on
the Bth of January to the crushing defeat
the insolent British invaders received at
Now Orleans, and on the eend of February
with social festivities celebrate the birth
day of him who was " First in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts of his ountry
men."
And crowded into the History of the Re
bellion which tilled these graves, are many
days which will be the theme of the painter
and poet; the 15th of April, 1861, when like
the bugle blast of Rhoderic Dhu, the Proc
lamation of Lincoln called the freemen of
the North to arms, and sunrise of the 10th
shone on bristling bayonets slanting
toward the Potomac ; the Ist of January
1803, when the Proclamation of Lincoln
struck the clanking chains from four mil
lions of slaves, acid angels touched their
harps at the triumph of right over the
wrong of a nation ; the 9th of April, 1865,
when under the apple tree of the Appomat
tox, Lee surrendered to Grant, and the de
feated Confederacy folded its stars and
bars, and laid them to rest forever on the
stacked arms of the Rebellion.—These and
many other days will on each recurring
Year recall events of a period of the world's
history -which future generations will re
gard with wonder and with awe.
And among these days custom has now
established Decoration Day. As the violet
springs up among the fragments of the bro
ken cannon wheels crumbling from sight
in the wilderness, and as the vile trails over
the picket's gopher hole on the Appomat
tox, so the beautiful customs of t3-day have
gradually bloomed forth in the rugged
hearts o f the surviving veterans of the Un
ion Army, hearts of steel hardened in the
fierce furn ace blasts of war.

these graves, and to pledge anew our fidel
ity to the Governme - it of our etthers.
To-day in every cemotet - y of the land,
thousands of comrades are gathered. Gen
eral and and private stand side by side.
There is no clangor of trumpets now, no
tong roll calling to arms, no hurried grasp
ing of muskets and fixing of bayonets. no
fulling into line,and chargingyell of infant
ry in the woods, no cracking carbine and
clanging sabre of sweeping cavalry squad
rons. The sabre and the musket hang qui
tetly rusting on the wall, and the bugle
that sounded the wild charge of dashing
Phil. Sheridan now hangs as mute as
" The harp that once in Fara's halls
The soul of music shed."
The feet of comrades that followed the drum
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande now
move carefully to-day among the grassy
mounds of sleeping braves, and hands that
for years grasped with nerves of steel the
sabre and the musket, to-day are filled with
flowers of love ; hearts that in years gone
say never quailed in battle, to-day grow ten
der,and eyes of brave men that often blazed
in the conflict are to-day dimmed with tears
"Grim vissaged war has smoothed his
wrinkled front"—and Mars brings Flora's
offering for the slain.
And since we lest performed these touch
ing solemn rites, Death has mustered out
many of our comrades. One year ago Gen.
Rawlins the well beloved Adjutant of the
victorious Chief of the War, stood in the
sunlight that rested on the grave of Arling
ton Cemetery. and listening to the requiem
of the fiend that silvery voices chanted,
hoped that they might sing it by his grave.
And to-day the strains of the dirge float over
the remains of the chivalric patriot Rawlins
whose spirit has joined the Grand Army
which has passed over the Potomac of death
Ono year ago the burly form of Thomas,
whom the boys loved as a father, stood by
the graves of those who had followed him
to glory. To-day he too sleeps, while Co
lumbia-with head uncovered kneels by his
tomb and mourns. And yet there is a
grandner in thought that when the tidings
of his death swept over the land, the wires
thrilling with sorrow stretched not over a
Union his valor helped to s.tve. Yes, while
from the Pacific slope came the sad words,
"Pap Thomas is dead," came also the
thought, ho died on the utmost verge of a
country which his patriotism had helped
to preserve in its glorious and unity, and
the mourners at the Golden Gate and among
the pine forests of Maine felt united by a
common sorrow.
Thomas, of whom Rosencrnns in his re
port of the battle of Chicamauga styled the
"t rue soldier, the prudent and undaunted
commander, the modest and incorruptible
patriot," who during the war never fora day
lett his post has at last been relieved from
duty by the Great Commander, and we
trust is quartered forever in the barracks
of the blest.
And here to-day it seems to me wo see
the full three of the oft quoted classic line,
Duke et &corum est, pro patria mori.
In each grave grows a root of the tree of
Liberty. Moistened by their blood it grows
in lasting beauty. The canker worms of
slavery and treason which had silentlysap- '
ped its life have been cut out by the knife
of war. Its branches are shooting higher
and spreading wider. Where they droop
over the slopes of the Pacific the 'Mongolian
byes h.in,g through the great wall which for
centuries shut him out from the world has
sought shelter. And hero for ages to come
let us trust under time protection of Him
who led the children of Israel through the
Red Sea. and this favored nation through
the equally great perils surrounding it, the
oppressed of all nations may find safety and
protection. The integrity of a free govern
ment rests in the virtue and patriotism of
the people, and us long as un educated, in
telligent people shall be actuated by the
principles which led these heroes forth with
their lives in their hands, and as long as
the corner stone of the Temple rests on
Christianity, so long shall American Liber
ty flourish to bless the world.
And looking around me here to-day, I
see present those who can and must wield
a powerful influence for good in our coun
try, I me-as the patriotic Christian women
of America. And there can be no more
appropriate time qr opportunity to refer to
their many deeds and noble conduct dur
ing the war and since.
How often during this bloody rebellion
were their fair hands busied in preparing
comforts to send to the front to cheer those
who stood between them and war's wild
desolation, and how often have their gifts
come precious as heaven sent manna to
camps where men lay depressed by defeat
or worn by battle. And the soldier as he
received some delicacy to which for months
he had been a stranger, or took to his tont
some comfort bag containing perhaps a pa
triotic letter of encouragement from some
unknown fair one, forgot fort he time, the
realities of camp and trench. Ho beard
not the distant picket shot, the low rumble
of artillery moving into position for the
morning battle, but his mind reverted once
more to the green mountains of New Eng
land, or the sunny meadows and fertile
fields of his own native Keystone, and he
felt that he was not forgotten. but that
warm hearts throbbed with delight at his
victories, or bright eyes filled with tears at
his defeats.
The Loyal women of America! History
has no brighter name. True, the blood
warms when we read of the rugged patri
otism of the Spartan mother. "Eight sons
Demaenetus to Sparta gave. All lighting
tell, all filled a common grave. No tear
shed she, but shouted, 'Victory Sparta,
I bore them but to die for thee." Such
women gave to Greece. a nation of heroes
—such men as Epaminondas, who calmly
drew the spear from his side and died, and
Leonidas who with his three hundred stood
nt Thermopylm, and held at bay the count
less hosts of his country invaders, until
only one man was left to tell the tale.
And the annals of Rome shine with the
lustre of Pagan virtue exemplified in such
'characters 'as Lucretia" and Virginia, and
the noble Cornelia, lit type of the Roman
matron, who would rather be the mother
of Gracchi, than accept the proffered throne
of Egypt.
But the character and patriotism of tile
American Women shines in History like
the pure light of Bethlehem's Star, for it is
ennobled and exalted by that spirit without
which even the character of the Spartan
mother or the nobler Roman matron was
imperfect—the spirit inparted by the teach
ings of christiamty. This has shed an undy
ing lustre around the character of our
country-women; this has given us the
names of such women as Miss Dix, soften
ing the horrors of the hospital, and Clare
Barton, tenderly gathering the bones of our
butchered brothers at Andersonville and
Salisbury, and marking the graves of these
martyrs of universal freedom. It was
this that made our mothers, wives au sis
ters, brave-hearted patriotic. Yes, theirs
were the true patriot hearts of thkg war.
We, in the field, had much to nerve us—
Pride, glory, promotion, while in thoasands
of homes, throughout the land, sat silent
women, "waiting for the war to cease s "
starting at each sound from the front, hop
ing best, yet fearing for the worst. And
when the death message came of a son or
brother fallen at Gettysburg or starved at
Andersonville, or a son, the pride of the
family, dying in the hospital, there was a
patient folding of hands, a heart-broken
resignation, an humble "God's will be
done," so that the Union he preserved and
treason be made crime and traitor punish
ed.
And while their fair hands on each re
turning May prepare the wreaths that deck
these mounds, may their lips ever teach
the young and rising generation what a
precious heritage it is to be an American
citizen and standing here, let them learn
that the sacred rights of a free people were
only preserved by tilling graves like these.
After the oration the choir sang the fol
lowing hymn to the tune old Old Hundred:
Blest are the martyred dead who lie
In holy graves for Freedom won,
Whose storied deeds shall never die,
While coming years their circles run.
Blest be the ground where heroes sleep,
And blest the flag that o'er them waves,
Its radiant stars their watch shall keep,
Anti brightly beam on hallowed graves.
Year after veer our hands shall bear
Immortal - dowers in vernal bloom,
Till God shall call us home to share
Immortal life beyond the tomb.
Our Father, all the praise be thine !
Thy glace and goodness we adore:
Bless our dear land with love divine,
And shed thy peace from shore to shore
Rev. G. M. Rhodes of the E. E. Luthera.
church then made a prayer after which the
band played an appropriate selection. Rev.
B. J. Douglass offered up the benediction
after which the procession reformed, and
returned to town.
The observance of the day was general,
and a fitting tribute to American heroism.
This day will soon be recognized as the me
morial day of the victories of the rebellion.
