week wc noticed in these columns that
there would be a grand excursion from
St. Mary's to Sergeant, and that there
would be ample arrangements made
for passengers at all stations along the
line to participate. The best arrange
ment that it has been possible to make
is placing tickets at 1.00 for the round
trip. Ail who desire to see the grand
spouting well should not fail to em
brace the present opportunity. The
train will leave St. Mary's o.i Tuesday,
May 2jth,utC o'clock P.M. .stopping at

School Exhibition.
As announced in our last issue, the
exhibition by the Graded School of
Ridgway took place ut Hyde's Opera
House on Saturday evening last. The
attendance was large. The perform
ance good for iimatures. Prof. Brack,
for the successful presentation of the
music and singing is entitled to great
credit, us that part of the performance
was certainly excellent. The "Wan
derer's Night Song," by Misses Ella
Kime and Belle Stjuier would have
done honor to a professional. While
Willie Schram was simply immense.
Misses U E. Wiicox, Agnes Barrett
and Julaua Builinyuuie directed and
brought to a succcmful presentation
the charade and tableaux, deserving
therefore due recognition. Prof.
Rishcll directed the whole business
and all agree it to be u success. F. H
Ely makes a boss darkey, but he must
learn to speak a little louder. All
harsh criticism we reserve, fornl'icr all
are they not our girls and boys? and
who will find fault with their own
Supervisors Again.
In our remarks last week, in regard
to the Ridjrway supervisors, we did
Supervisor Wilson an unintentional
injustice, lie has been as busy as a
nailer all the time, two bridges, one at
Laurel Mill and theothertit Mill Creek
leijuired his immediate attention.
Then, the bridge on the Whistletown
road was burned, causing more work
for m i overworked Supervisor. So
that all the time he has been doing all
he could do, and we hasten to place
him in a true light.
Then we spoke of the supervisors in
general, now we make a special point
on O. B. Fitch, who, It seems is er
tirelv direleet in his duty. When
there is so much that needs doing
on the road, with tho sidewalks in a
daugirous condition, it Is high time
for some one to cry, Halt ! This respon
sibility we assume as it becomes our
duty or we do not deserve the name of
a public journalist. With no personal
f,.!;inr in thu mutter, then, wo call
u halt on the conduct of Mr. Fitch.
In the name of the people of utog
way township wc ask him toeither at
tend to the duties he has sworn to
perform, or resign. The May term of
court enlivens May 24. Unlets lie
either goes to work or resigns, let the
people with one aeeord sign a petition
to have his. removal accomplished. If
this is not to the point we will en
ile.ivor to make it more plain in our
next i.isuc.

Milton In Ashe.
Friday last, May 14, tho beautiful
vlllaire of Milton, Northumberland
county, Pa., was entirely consumed
by fire. Originating in the car works
of Murray, Dougal & Co., the man
who first saw the lire could have ex
tinguished it but that it was on the
roof and no way of renching it until
too late. From an insignificant ori
gin the flames sprend with fearful
rapidity, devouring In Its greed, house
after house, with reckless lnpartiality.
A strong wind set in which addded
impulse to the destructive and unre
lenting demon, until In a few short
hours where had stood a beautiful
town of 8001) Inhabitants, and many
fine buildings, public and private, a
barreu waste of ashes and desolation
marked the scene. Those who were rich
were now poor, will le paupers were even
poorer than before, and misery, ruin
and even starvation stared tho luck
less inhabitants In the face. Night
drew her curtains down on the cruel
wa.ste.the breeze of evening fanned the
expiring ember. of the many homes,
men, women and children, sought the
cold ground by the river's bank, or
the friendly repose of the Island in
thp river, many no doubt wishing t lie
dark waters were silently rolling over
their quiet forms, as they thought of
the strange contrast of the present
with the com fort or luxury which was
theirs but yesterday. At last they
slept but to wake on tiie morn to lind
in horrible realization the hideous
dreams of the night just gone. Great
smoke clouds enveloped tho atmos
phere witli a funereal ' aspect appal
ling to the heart, und wearying to the
mind. In the face of such a dread
disaster language finds no eloquence,
while Hie pen or tho lip refuse to re
cord or speak the depth of misery, or
the blackness of the deepest depths of
woe, to which it would seem no deeper
depths could ever be found. The bit
ter cup drank to Its bitterest dregs.
Sorrow to which hope is' a mockery.
Misery by the side of which a smile
would be sacrilege. Who shall des
cribe it? Who appreciate it? Four
hotels, eight churches, two printing
oiTlces, machine shops, rolling mills,
stores, banks, business places of every
description, elegant private residences.
The palaces, of the rich; the hovels of
the poor alike went down in the com
mon ruin. The most careful estimates
place tiie loss at $l,7l)u,0U0, but many
think '2,1)0(1,(100 will not cover th
loss, over one-thii'il the amount or
$4-14,-1)0 is covered by insurance.
Provisions are being sent from nearly
every town and city in the State.
Governor Hoyt has sent the following
dispatch to the Mayors of ail the cities
of the State:
The town of Milton lias this day been al
most entirely destroyed by Ore. Three
thousand people are now homeless, destitute
of clothing, provisions and all the necessities
of life. I would suggest that you call a meet
ing of your citzeus ut unco tu furnish im
mediate aid to those stricken people.
