came to her relief. The remains were

Bursting of an Oil Tank.
Bradford, l'a., August 6. The
United Lines to-day completed the
laying of three-inch pipe from Brad
ford region to Parker City. Oil can
now be transported in pipes from the
Bradford field to Pittsburgh and
Cleveland at the rute of 8,000 barrels
daily. This new line will also give
the United pipe line Company the
use of 1,2 j0,0im) barrels of empty iron
tankage in the lower oil country.
This afternoon workmen dug a trench
under a 23,01)0 barrel iron tank near a
villuge on the Stale line, three miles
north of Bradford, to repair a leuk.
The tank wits rutherold and contained
20,000 barrels of oil Shortly before
dark this evening the tunk burst a
leak and the great body of oil rushed
out and on to the surface of Tuna
Creek. Thence it was carried by the
stream to Allegheny river, down
which it is mostly all now flowing.
The mishap created great alarm in the
village of State Line lest the oil take
fire. To avoid such a result the fire in
every house was extinguished, and
the citizens of the village at midnight
were iu fear lest some malicious person
should fire the oil. A uumber of men
are guarding the stream for miles, to
prevent such action. The tank was
Wnwl by the United tdne.
A Disgrace and a Slinine.
With all the water advantages po
ecssed by the village of Rldgwny there
is not a single public drinking place
for man or beast the whole length and
breadth of Main street. Time was
when water was as free on our streets
as air or dust, ond thirsty humanity
was at perfect liberty to drink and be
merry. Strangers within our gates
quaffed the sparkling draught, and re
turned to their own land praising
the water and the liberality of the
Rldgwayites. The wittering trough
at the corner of Main and Broad
Streets has for years and years made
the hearts of the dumb beast glad as
he drank its generous flood. The wat
ering places at Ross' and on the corner
near the bakery have been a Joy to
mankind for no one knows how long.
These pictures of a water feast are the
dim recollections of a past time, yet
we liopa a future generous public may
again set up water fountains to the
end that all manner of man and beast
may drink and thank the donors.
Now how tilings are changed. Be
neath the tierce rays of a dog day's
August sun, the sweaty crowd pass
and repass our main thoroughfare, and
with tongues protruding, and heart
sad for want of what should be as
free as air water. All the old foun
tains are dried up, the murmuring rill
of (he old watering trough is still. No
water, no water, while man languishes
and the dumb beast lingers in misery.
The glory of our village has departed,
the stranger is no longer glad in our
midst, while many a one suffers for
water, ami regret while they think
how plentiful it pace was. Is it not a
shame and a disgrace that such a
state of affairs should exist.' Would
it not be belter to put the money a
town clock would cost into a public
drinking fountain, and get along w.th
out tbe clock? The greatest good to
the greatest number should be our
motto. But, talk is cheap, Tin; Ad
vocate will contribute 5.00 toward
a fund to be used to exeet a public
fountain on Main street, Ilidg
way. Who contributes a like amount
or more?

Ex Governor Fllglcr.
Hnrrlsburg Patriot,
Clearfield, Pa., August . Ex-Governor
Biglcr died this morning nt 9
o'clock.
BKIKF SKETCH OF Jrrs CAREER.
William Biglcr was born nt Sher
mansbtirgjCounibcrland county,F'enn-
sylvanla, In December, 1813. ms pa
rents were if German extraction, and
whilst he was very young they, re
moved to Mercer county, having pur
chased a large tract of land there.
The title of this land, however, proved
defective, and they lost all but a small
farm. This reverse of fortune so nf
fected the father that he died of grief,
leaving his wife to bring up a family
of nine children.
In 1810, after receiving a moderate
education, young William entered the
printing office of his brother John, at
Bellefonte, Pa. From this office was
Issued the Centre Democrat news
paper, and he remained In It until 1833
when, by the advice of his friends,
he removed fo Clearlield. There he
commenced the publication of the
Clearfield Democrat, which he con
tinued to manage until the year 18:!ii,
when he was married to Maria J.,
daughter of Alexander B. Reed, and
by whom he had five sons, three of
whom are living. After disposing of
the Dcmaeral he entered into tbe lum
ber business, iu connection with his'
father-in-law. He was very success
ful in this enterprise, being, in the
year l8"0, the largest producer of lum
ber on the west bank of the Susque
hanna. Previous to this, in 1811, he
was nominated to the tute Fenate,
and was elected by a majority of over
3,000, having received every vote but
one in Clearfield county. In 1S!3 he
was elected speaker of the senate; was
re-elected in the. session of 1 1 1 , mid in
the following October was returned to
the senate for a second term, although
he had repeatedly declined the nom
ination. InlsShewas brought for
ward as one of the Democratic; nomi
nees for the governorship but was de
feated by Morris Longstroth, who also
suM'ered defeat at the election. In
18!'. be was appointed one of the rev
enue commissioners, whose duty it
was to adjust the amount of taxation
to be raised in the dideront sections
and counties of the state. In lS."it he
was nominated by acclamation by the
Democrats for the governorship, aud
after a canvass which was warmly
contested he was elected by a large
majority. It is worthy of note, ut the
same time bis brother John Biglcr,
was ilceted governor of the stale of
California. 1 u March, IS-V!, Ik- was
again unanimously nominated by the
Democrats us their candidate ior gov
ernor, but this time was deflated by a
large majority by the eandid-iie of the
Native American party. In .'aiiu
ary, b" ", at the expiration of bis term
as governor, lie was elected to the
prcsidtney of the Philadelphia and
h ie laiiicnul, and at tbe same tim
was elected to represent the
state of Pennsylvania in the United
Stalls n It, in which body hestrved
for - ix years, ami took quite a prom
inent part in si! in proceedings being
