Jacob McCauley celebrated the
thirty-fifth anniversary of his marriage
on May 22. He says the day this
year is as near like the day on which
he was married as it is possible for
twolays to be. Thirty-five years is a
long time, when we consider the
changes that have taken place in Elk
county. When Mr. McCauley settled
on Toby Hot-ton township was an
almost unbroken wilderness He
built a mill and manufactured the
cream of the pine lumber, rejecting
all logs that would not come up to the
standard. These boards were rafted in
Little Toby iu three platform pieces, ten
courses deep, and even those shallow
rafts were with great difficulty got out
of the creek, the rocks and bars were
so numerous. Great improvements
have been made costing vast sums of
money, until at this day a four plat
form sixteen courses deep can be run
with any kind of a decent flood.
This lumber was run to Pitthurgh
and sold for from $0 to f li a thousand
feet board measure;six dollars for good
and twelve dollars for the clearest kind
of clear stuff. Lumber that to day
would bring $30a thousand. But lum
ber like that Is hard to get in the
present depleted condition of our pine
forests. Supplies were all hauled
from Kittauuing, Bellefonte, James
town or Olean, distance to either of
the places from seventy-five to eighty
miles. These reminiscences of old
times by our old settlers would make
an interesting volume. We wish Mr.
McCauley many returns of his wedding
day anniversary. And we are certain
the people of Elk county who all
know him will join heartily in our
good wishes,

Death of Holroos Stephenson.
Friday evening of ltwt week as Mrs.
James Gardner, who lives on the
Mllcshurg and Smelhport turnpike,
about three miles northwest of this
village, while out looking for her cow,
suddenly came upon a dead man
Calling assistance an investigation
was made which satisfied the persons
present that the remains were those of
Holmes M. Stephenson, a young man
thirty-two years of age, who had been
away from home since the 20th of
April. Esquire Mead wns notified the
next day of the finding of the corpse
and as acting Corner proceeded to em
panel a jury. The jury rendered a ver
dict in effect that the deceased came to
his death by his own hand but whether
accidentally or otherwise were unable
to determine. Mr. Stephenson leit the
house of his father, Isaac Stephenson,
who lives not far from the place where
the young man was found, stating that
he was going to Brookston, and sup
posing he had gone to that place no
alarm was felt on account of his ab
sence. When found the corse was in
an advanced stage of decomposition, in
fact was swarming with worms, the
clothes only sufficing to hold the flesh
and bones together. An attempt to
remove the body resulted in severing
the head from the body. The head
was taken to a stream hard by and
washed disclosing the fact that a ball
had entered the head just above an
eye, and penetrating upward re
maining lodged in the brain. A seven
shot revolver was found close by . the
dead mau with the chambers empty;
a watch on his person, as also
$12.6;) lu cash. No rea-iouable cause
can be shown to support the theory ol
suicide, therefore, we dismiss that al
together and claim that the shooting
was accidental. Of course no witness
appears; the man is dead, and all we
write is simply suppose. 1, which sup
position may be as far from right as are
boundaries of wrong. The chamber of
the revolver were all empty .perhaps he
had been shooting small animals or
idly emptied his we.ip:tu for want of
better pastime, until but one remained
when he. with the muzzlo pointing In
the direction of Ills head, endeavored
to ascertain why the l.st cartridge
hung fire, and with thumb and finger
on the cylinder he revolved it until
this last cartridge was reached, at
which place the hammer went down,
the swift messenger of death did Its
sure work while the victim sank
quietly to the ground, dying without
a struggle. y
As evidence that death was
instant a slight twig lay across the
dead man's feet while other little twigs
rested iu his hands,and the leaves and
bushes by were scarcely displaced, the
rusty revolver lay close by the body.
The nun rose and declined, the gentle
summer winds moved with quiet
breath the fallen Jeave3, birds sang in
the summer foliage, but quietly lay
the unconscious sleeper, while jsun.
winds, leaves and birds were no more
for him, while mystery never more
to be solved enveloped the breathless
clay. The revolver and watch were
sold the deceased by T. D. Rhineswho
fully indentifled theiri, thus leaving
no doubt as to the indeutity of the de

The Reading Railroad.
The biggest excitement in finuncial
circles for some years . was caused by
the failure of the Reading Railroad
Company to pay its debts last week.
This used to be a profitable road.
But'lt went into the mining business
and has been crippled every since,
in 1871 the Coal aud Iron Company
was organized and began to buy coal
mines. On so large a scale has this
been done that the value of its real
property was estimated Nov. 0, 1879,
at $39,690,799.45. But Its liabilities
are $63,002,804.04, of which the Read
ing Railroad holds over $47,000,000.
The railroad company advanced the
enormous sums needed for the pur
chase of mining properties, and they
iiave not been repaid, because the
Coal and Iron company has been a
failure.
Last year the Coal and Iron com
pany made a net loss of $700,000 on iU
operations, while $1,500,000 of interest
which it could not pay accrued
against it. This was its record from
year to year. The Railroad had to
carry it and did so until it had thus
and otherwise piled up on its own ac
count a floating debt of $7,000,000
besides a funded debt .of over $75,000,
000, liability on capital stock of nearly
$35,000,000 and other Items making a
total of over $120,000,000.

Ridgway Bucket Brigade Is the
title of an organliatlon which does
not exist. Although, without any
discipline at all this brigudo has In
times past done good service at fires in
this village. In view of the fact that
so many towns have been laid In
ashes within a few weeks the questions
suggests themselves what protection
has Ridgway against fire? Again are
we not liable at any time to be burned
out? Of course on all sides the an
swers to these questions are the,, same:
We have no protection. . And are
liuble at any time to suffer the fate of
Rew City, Rixford, Milton, Couders
port, ou Edenburg. Then, are we as
citizens doing our duty In supinely
sitting by without at least an effort to
do something to effect any sudden
outbreak of fire? Water we have In
abundance. But we have no conven
ience for getting the water to a fire,
nether engine, hose, or flro plug.
Therefore we are at the mercy of the
devouring element. A suggestion
right here may not be out of order, It
is thl: Let the citizens purchase 100
wooden buckets, and have them well
painted Inside and out, then a ladder
sufficiently long to reach the roof of
the highest buildings. Perhaps Mr.
R. V. Kline would furnish land on
Powell & Kline's' alley on which to
erect a building, sufficiently large to
hold the buckets. The ladder could
be hung on hooks attached to the side
of Powell & Kime's store. Let the
bucket house be locked, of course In
case of fire the lock could be easily
broken even If the key wu3 not ut
hand, thus giving free and ready ac
cess to our lnicket brigndeequipmeuts.
A company might then be formed of
young men who would style them
selves the Ridgway Bucket Brigade.
All the other men would be on hand
to render assistance when necessary.
A few evenings' drill would enable
our Brigade to open the bucket house
form a double row of men from Main
street, down Powell & Kime's alley to
Hyde's race, one line to puss down
the empty buckets the other line to
pass up the full ones, until In a few
minutes a continuous stream of water
would flow into' Main street. By using
the ladder a stream could be conveyed
to the roof of any building on the street.
The expense would be a trifle 'while
in case of Are a great amount of pro
perty might be saved by this simple
means. At tires generally it is diffi
cult to get buckets in time, and for
want of an organized effort still more
difficult to get lines formed to pass the
water. Having the buckets handy
would do away with the first object ion
while the organization we suggest
would make the other ea'sy. Any one
wishing to join this brigi.de may
leave his name at The Advocate
office, when if no one else acts in the
matter we will endeaver to put our
theory in practice. Will some person

IIotT to Make a Flag-.
American Agrtenttorlat torjrrrw.)
"II. C. M.," Rockland Co., N. Y.,
who is probably, inspired by the ap
proach of the 4th of Ju'y and its
associations, write tosk how to make
a flag, and adds that "it will be of
Interest to all your readers that love
the American Flag." In the first
place the materal for a flag for service
Is Bunting, a thin fabric of wool,
made especially for the purpose. This
is light and strong, and bears the con
stant whipping by the wind better
than any other material. Flags for
certain uses are made of silk, and if
for merely decorative purpose may
bo made of any desired stuff. The
flag consists of two parts, the Field
and the Union. According to the re
gulation?, the depth of a flag should
be 10-19thsof its width. In ordinary
usage, half as long will come near
enough. The depth of a flag is called
its head, and its length, from the staff
outward, the fly. The Field consists
of 13 stripes of red and white, standing
for the 13 original States, beginning at
the top with red. The Union Is In
the upper corner next the staff. It
is seven stripes deep, and four tenths
the length of the field; it Is blue, with
white stars, one for each State of the
Union. We do not know If there Is
any regulations for the size of the
stars. Formerly the small stars were
grouped to form one large star on the
blue field of the Union, but now the
regulation is they shall be "in equi
distant horizontal and vertical lines."
The better way to fix upon the size for
the stars Is to first make a paper pat
tern; cut the stars from pnper, and
change the size until the proportion
seems right. Recollect that n star
should always be five-pointed, with
one point pointing upwards. We
hope that these dimensions will help
"H. C. A." ami many others to make
u handsome American Flag, and,
"Long may it wave."

would order his name withdrawn
from the contest at the national con

for making sum an assertion. Gen.
Grunt's name lias never gone before
the public as a candidate for the presi

and he most certainly will not order
his name withdrawn. A very larce
class of the American people have
chosen to make him their candidate
and if the Republican national con

him the nomination h will nut de

Execution of a UiiiTalo Murderer.
Buffalo, May 14. Carl Manke
was hanged here this morning Tor the
murder of John Altoff, at Elma, April
2. 1879. From the time of his sen
tence following his second conviction
Manke has maintained a stolid indir
ference to his fate, and with a beastly
manner refused the attentions of a
clergyman. Wednesday his wife re
quested a parting interview, lie re
fused to see her. During tho lust few
days Manke partially admitted his
guilt; suid Altoff was good for nothing
and his death a matter of no regret
among his neighbors. He slept
soundly last night and break'nstcd
hearty. He refused to be washed and
dressed for execution, using violent
oaths to the attendants, breaking the
com 1 1 unci attempting to tear his cloth
ing. He also refused to see his spir
itual adviser. When pinioned and
led to the Sheriff's office, where ser
vices were held, he made no answer
to the minister's prayer. "You don't
know the holy spirit, you steer." He
was asked where he wanted to be
buried He replied: "It makes no
difference to me." He continued
stubborn to the close, and without a
struggle life was extinct four and a
half minutes after the trap fell.
