Thb Elk Dcmocralofhsl week closes
its account of the Fourth of July in
Ridgway as follow: "Those who threw
oold water on the project as well as those
whooharged for their short and ineffici
ent services on that day, can claim nono
of the credit, but the former mu?t be
content with the indifference, and the
latter with the contempt, of their fellow
citizens,"
There is a trite old adage which has
it "if the shoe fits, put it on."" The
shoe that fits us is the one of "charging
for short and inefficient services" and
receiving the contempt of our fellow
citizens." We will at first state our
position; on the evening of the Fourth
a dance was held in tho building erected
for Fourlh-of-July purposes in the court
square. It was discovered that the
committee had failed to furnish music
for the occasion, and, the discovery was
also made that the committee hid not
enough funds to meet expenses. A
member of the oommittee then proposed
to have music procured by some one,
and charge a dollar a couple for dancing,
laving been requested to do so by the
comittee we undertook the responsibility
of engaging music, and collecting the
money, with the risk of paying the
music out of our own pocket did the
proceeds fall shott). On Sunday eve
ning a member of the committee and
another gentleman, with what we con
sidered undue haste, visited us and re
quested that the money be paid to
them, which wo refused. On Tuesday
evening the committee met, and wo ap
peared before them and presented our
accounts, with bill for music, and a
charga of 85 for our services. The
CGUimitice allowed all the bills and we
turned over the balance to them.
This is a t'tatemcut of the case and
furnishes Mr. Miller with an opportu
tity to strike us' a back-handed, cowardly-blow,
under the cover of "those
persons," although we were the only
person that charged for services, outside
of the music, we did not consider that
the charge was exhorbitant, neither did
we consider that our services were
"short or inefficient" notwithstanding
the fact that we were compelled to go
home at about elcveu o'clock on account
of sickness. Mr. Miller sat at his office
and with folded hands watched us, nei
ther offering to help nr contributing a
cent toward the dance, yet as one of the
committee it was his duty to fee to it that
uiids were raised to defray expenses.
With his noted prnlercnce for ease and
indolence, he watches us do what it
were more meet he did himself and then
abuses us for doing his work. If our
services were short and inefficient what
wero Miller's? Again Mr. Miller was
one of the committee that allowed our
bill then why does ho seek to slander us
at our back? AVe feel that we did noth
ing wrong in the premises, and that we
are no more likely to receive the "con
tempt" of our fellow citizens than Mr.
Miller. Yet no one overlooks thefaet
that a deep current of niggardly-policy
underlies this uuwarruntcd, ill timed.aod
ungrntlctnanly attack on us, from the
fact that we are business rivals, anything
to our hurt, serving to advance accord
ing to Mr. Miller's idea, his interest.
Of a'A the detestable things that dis
grace the er.rth a slanderer is the mean
est und most-to-bc-despised. If a man
strikes you in the day-light you may
guard off the blow but when a man
strikes you in thb dark you have no
means of delence. Mr. Miller has not
only slandered us, but he has at different
times attacked the character of simie of
the best men in Elk Couuty, and for
his acts deserves the contempt which
he will surley receive. Throw off the
attire of egotism Mr. Miller and you
will see that other men live and are not
dependent on you, but rather that you
are dependent on many men.'
The Second Chicago Fire. On
Tuesday night, 14th July, the city of
Chicago suffered another great fire, re.
suiting in a loss of 4,000,000. The'
insurance amounts in round numbers to
82,700,000. Compared with tho fear
ful conflagration in 1871, this second
disaster is but a trifling affair, the los
ses then having reached the appalling
figures of 8170,000,000. Though the
results of fire Lave left a largo number
of people entirely destitute, information
comes direct from Chicago that outside
relief is not needed, at least for the
present. Of the former relief fund in
the hands ol the Relief and Aid Society,
the sum of 8300,000 still remained, and
that this auiouut is believed to be ample
for the emergency. As no establish
ments of any kind employing large
forces were destroyed, there is no con
siderable depiivation of employment,
and ' as rebuilding has already com
menced, the demand for labor will
practically be inoreased by the fire.
Are You Registerd? The ten
days assessment business is abolished by

will be well for every Voter to see that
be is registered by the first day of Sep

Faminb In Kentucky. A corres-
pondent of ths Louisville Courier Jour
nal writing from Jamestown, Kentucky,
says that "Here in Southern Kentucky
we are on the eve of a famine, which
threatens to be very serious, as well as
in the western portion of Kentucky.
Last year tho season was so exceedingly
wet that there was scarcely .a half crop
raised, in consequence of which our pco
pie are suffering much, and already sev
eral are reportad to have starved to
death, and many others are living on
bread alone." It is reported that the
Legislature will be called on for aid.
Mr. John Cobh was thrown from
his buggy and had four ribs broken a
few days ago, but as he was on urgent
business (he always is,) did'nt stop, but
went on. Somebody had informed him
of three very large and beautiful pine
trees standing alone many miles fioni
any body ot pine timber, somewhere on
the headwaters of Hemlock or Coon
Creek, which somehow had miracously
escaped his attention, and he was driv.
ing out at full speed to look at the situa
tion with a view of starting a sawmill'
when the mishap occurred. But with
Cobb it is business, first, last and al.
the time, while old broken ribs and such
trifles can be attended to at any time
afterwards, and so we have no doubt
but that an engine is already on the way
to drive another mill. We do not be
lieve that there is any great military
generul now living who possesses in a
grtatcr degree those admirable powert
of will, energy and perseiverauce, than
does the hero of this notice, Tall John
Cobb the Lumberman of Muuy Waters,
Forest Frets.
Fire. Last Friday aioTiuu at hall
past one o'clock our citizens were
arroused from their slumbers by the
alarm of fire. On going to the scene ol
the fire we discovered that the old
steam jobbing shop, near Hyde's satf
mill, was ablaze and that some lumber
piles in close proximity, were in danger.
It was but a short time before the lum
ber caught, but in a few minutes scores
of men and boys had formed theruscl
ves into lines from the mill race to the
burning lumber piles, and in a short
time a stream of water was carried on
the flames. The morning was unusually
still, which fact contributed largely
toward saving the business portion ol
the town, from destruction, for had
there been any wind, wi'h our luck ot
means to extinguish fire, we would have
been entirely at the mercy of the de
vouring element. Mrs. Jno. O. II n 1 1
and Miss Kattie Hyde, deserve great
praise for their efforts to relieve the tired
men by passing around rime of the best
coffee we have ever tasted. We noticed
as is usual, in case cf fire a number ol
men standing around looking on, with
out as much as lifting a pail ol water, ol
these gentlemcu we cuu thiuk of no cen
sure severe enough. There has been .ev
cral reasons as-i :ricd as the cause of the
fire, but what seems as the most platr.-a-blc
of any is, that a number of men have
been in the habit of frequenting the old
shop for the purpose of gambling, and
had in this instance, likely thrown a
cigar stump on the flour and then going
away left it to burn We are inclined
to charge tho origin cf the fire to ucci
dent, yet at the same timowo must en
ter a word in condemnation of the crime
that made the accident possible. GatL
bcling is known to the law, as one of
tho lowest and most damaging to the
morals of a community, of all vices, and
a common gambler is mark-! d as one un
worthy the respect of his fellowmen. It
has been for a long time a notorious
tact that a number of our youug men,
have been engaged iu this nefarious
business, and we hope to chronicle ere
long, the arrest and punishment of those
who are interested iu gambling. The
building and property burned were
owned by J. S. Hyde, and were valued
at about 81500.
Special Dktectives. An ajt was
passed by the late Legislature authoriz
ing the District Attorney of each county
of the Commonwealth to appoint a spec
ial detective The act is as follows:
Section I. That it shall be lawful
for the District Attorney of any County
in this Commonweath. with the appro
val of tho Court of Quarter Sessions of
the proper County, whenever said Court
and District Attorney may deem it
necessary, to appoiut an officer us a
special dective, whose duty it shall be to
assist in obtaining such evidence as shall
bo directed by the District Attorney for
tho Commonreolth iu all orimiual cases,
as the Court may direct.
Sec 2. Such detectives officer shall
have all the power ot a duly qualified
constable, and shall hold his appoint
ments during the pita-sure of the Court
appoiutiug him, not longer, however,
than the term of the District Attorney
on whose reoommendation he was ap
pointed. Sec 3. The said detective officer
shall receive for his services such com
pensation as shall be approved by the
Court appointing Lim. This Court
shall order warrants for such compensa
tion to be drawn by the Clerk of the
Court on tue County Treasurer, who
snail pay the same.
A Correction. We arnoti many
others of the newspaper fraternity were
led into error in stating some time since
that an important change had been
made in the defining the rights of land
lords and tenants, which purported to be
"an act exempting property from levy
and sale on the executions and distress
for rent, eta., virtually repealing the
8300 exemption ot 1S49. Such a bill
was beforo the legislature, but was not
passed last winter as stated, and as the
publication may lead to misapprehens
ou and difficulty, we make the oorreo
ion for the benefit of all whom it may
concern. Tho law remains precisely
tho same.
Disastrous Firb. We regret to
learn that the extensive flour mill of
llacrty & Stewart, at Union Furnaeo,
near Spruce Creek, on tho Pennsylvania
railroad, in Huntingdon couuty,
together with all its contents was to
tally destroyed by fire two weeks ago.
There was stated in the mill at the
time 5,000 bubhels of wheat, 1,000 bus
hels of corn, 1,000 bushels of rye, 3,000
bushels of other grain, and about 100
barrels ol prime flour, all of which wero
burned, together with the books of tho
mill and the Union Furnace Postoffice
which occupied a portion of the building.
Ilagcrty's mill was one of the most
widely known in Central Pennsylvania,
the flour maoulactuied theie being ot
the best quality and eagerly sought af
ter by all good housekeepers. In addi
tion to the burning of the mill and its
contents, a pig-stye was consumed tnd
seven hogs burned to death. There
was no insuance on the mill property,
consequently it is a total loss, the insur
ance having run out about a year ago.
The loss will fall heavily upon Mr. Hag
crty who was the sole owner ot the 31 ill,
The total loss will reach $25,000.. Mr.
llagcrty forsicly resided at Janesvilie,
in this couuty, and is well known to
many of our citizens, who deeply sym
pathize with him in his loss. Clearfield
