Railroad Shops.
Thk Advocate article of last week
In reference to locating the Rochester
and Pittsburgh machine shops at this
place, has had the effect to stir up the
matter considerably among our citi
zens. One is asking of another, In
what manner can the shops bo se
cured? The question Is easily an
swered. Let a subscription paper be
started and enough motipy raised to
secure the necessary land on which to
build the buildings. Then' say to the
company we will donatethe necessary
amount of land and do all in our power
to aid the enterprise In the way of en
couragement. It is not certain that
the R. R. company would accept of a
gift of the land- At any rate we could
show our good will. That is onu nec
essary thing in getting an enterprise
started in a town. In Jamestown, N.
Y., a large sum of money was raised
and presented to a man for bringing a
shoe manufactory to that place. In
many towns through the country the
citizens take hold, and with money and
by encouragement induce permanent
improvements. No such chance has
been offered the people of Rldgway to
secure a good thing:, In many years,
and if we allow this opportunity to
pass by it may never come again.
Make liay while the sun shines is an
excellent motto. Anil let our citizens
make a good point while they can.
Will we have a public meeting to dis
miss the matter and a committee ap
pointed to confer-ith the Railroad
authorities? Who is bold enough, and
has the proper public spirit to taKe
hold of the matter. The move should
bo made now.
St. JIarjs and ltidgwuy
These towns aro the largest and
most important of any in Elk county.
Rldgway is the county seat while St.
Marys is the metropolis so to speak.
Both towns aro full of vim and enter
prise. St. Marys has the advantage
of extensive coal mines in its Immedi
ate vicinity which give employment
to a great number of men, and bring
in a large amount of money to the
place. The merchants there are wide
awake and enterprising, judging from
the large amount of advertising in the
Gazette scarcely a business house there
but that has a good large advertise
ment in tho Joeal paper. No one
thing is so sure an index of a town's
business push and energy as a large dis
play of home ads. iu the local papers.
People abroad seeing the paper exclaim,
what a thriving town ! just see the
amount of advertisements in the
paper! Iu fact the local papers in the
eyes cf outsiders mirror the very
energy or lack of it, which prevails in
the place. "That's an old fogy town,"
one will euy, "no advertisements to
speak of in the local newspapers.''
"The papers seem to be well enough
conducted, but how the publishers
live is a mystery, as they receive no
home support." These and similar
remarks are made in reference to towns
where the business men are not enter
prising enough to advertise. As we
said before, St. Marys is ahead In this
respect, of many other towns. Her
business men believe In keeping up
thelr home paper aud and at the same
time advancing the best Interests of the
place. Wo have sometimes thought
we would move to St. Marys, aud don't
know but that that would be a good
thing to do now. The energy and
business snap of that old Borough is
enough to make one wish to go there
to do business. Yes, sir, advertise
ments in the local papers speak
volumes for the enterprise of a town.
And don't you forget It. ,
The Little "Boss."
He swelled and swore
This little "boss"
By the gods of Casar
The kickers shall all die
By the gods ,
I will appoint tu'e delegate
And do it in secret
My masters shall know that I am
faithful.
D d the kickers
The people may attend to their own
business.
I tho Little "Boss" will attend to
The convention.
Did I not with watch iu hand stop
the primary meeting.
And I will squelch the kickers.
Am I not the postmaster?
And who shall stand before my
wrath?
I am of tho royal purple
Does not Don so tell me?
Aud Is not his voice the voice of the
mighty
Arthur Is President
I am Postmaster
And Little "Boss"
Down with the kickers,
Did I not appoint the delegate to the
last State Convention from Montour
county ?
We want no more men to go down
and act as did Wensel
For he represented the wishes of the
people.
And I am Little "Boss"
The sunshine of my glory bhall shine
on the Stalwarts
And those who do my bidding
Even as I do tho bidding of iny
m asters.
Let no man dare to offend me
1 am the Little "Boss" '
And great Is my scorn.
Aud I can lie
I say there is no Republican paper
in Elk county.
In this 1 know that I am lying,
But the great Don whom I worship
will forgive me.
The editor of Thk Advocate shall
not stand in the place of the lovely.
I am the Little " Boss "
Aud I have spoken.
Public conventions are not a good
thing.
Because I am tho Little " Buss "
In secret let us meet,
For my word is given that I will se
cure the delegate for Don's man aud
must I be madu out to bo a liar?
In secret aud silence
And the back room
Any tiling is honorable In my
politics
For 1 am tho postmaster,
And will not furnish the letter list
to that d d Advocate.
Away with kickers
Away with your manhood
Away with independence,
Away wifli popular representation.
I'll none of these
But rather silence.
With squinted eye
And many meanings in my
wrinkled face
I will fool the boys at homu, .
And send the delegate.
Put none put strikers ou guard to
night. And bend the knee to the Royal
Don
I am the Little " Boss"
Now take heed.
Did I not appoint this committee
Iu defiance of custom und right?
Also in my pocket have I not two
substitutions,
And I am the Little "Boss"
Street Commissioner was I aud fail
ed in that
But in jxiUtics I never fail
Praise Dun from whom postolllees
flow
Praise Don who sends me the reino
Praise Don the great eternal Don
For where he leads I follow ou
And I am postmaster
Don't forget that
This is coniidential,
Beware Little " Boss"
Beware of your boast
Your poor little boss-ship
Will some day lie lost.
The great big world will move on as
before
But the form of the " little boss " will
be there no more.

On Tuesday last Thomas Mabon,
an old citizen of our town celebrated
his ninetieth birth day. Mr. Mabon
was for a number of years one of the
most energetic business men of this
section, and it has only been within
the last year or two that he has re
linqulshed business. We are sorry to
learn that he is now in poor health
and unable to leave ills house. On
Thursday last, Daniel Shannon, a
near neighbor of Mr. Mabon, also cel
ebrated his ninetieth birthday. These
two old citizens have for years been
looked upon as the link connecting
the past with the present. Mr. Shan

tsonian. The rumor to the effect that the
summer encampment will be at C res
son Springs Is an error. The only
suitable land iu the vicinity is owned
by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
owing to objections on the part of the
hotel people the Company decided a
year ago not to permit its use by the
military. If Generals Hartranft,
Latta and Colonel North, upon a visit
to Lewistown, shall decide in favor of
the locality, agreement will probably
be made for land there, for use as a
division encampment about the first

Consequential Ihuunges."
(Warren Mull.)
In the Erie county Common picas
last Thursday Judi.'o MeDermitt of the
Mercer district, made a new decision
The property owners on 10th street hi
Erie had petitioned for an injunction
to restrain IheNew York, Chicago &St
Louis railroad company from building
Its road along lOih street. He granted
the injuotion, the order to remain in
force until the railroad company gives
bonds for indemnifying the complain
ants against tho "consequential dama
ges"arisi tig from the const motion ofthe
road alomr the street by their property.
This Is an important deci.-ion. It Is
the first Judicial declaration in Penn
sylvania of the liabili'y of a railroad
company for "consequential dama
ges" It is precisely what Mr. Struth
cm claimed in several articles In the
Mail, und is a new departure for a
Pennsylvania Judge. We conclude
that Jtidje MDerniltt mu.vt have read
the Mall with profit. The case will
now probably go to the Supreme
Court for final decision under the
new Constitution, and possibly the
rule in Pennsylvania may bo reversed
that allows a railroad to bo constructed
along one of the princpal streets of a
town without paying a cent for the
privilege, or becoming liable for the
annoyance, the noise, the smoke or
any of the "consequential damages"
to property arising from such location.
We understand that Judge McDer
mitt's decision wu I0113 and carefully
prepared. It took him nearly an hour
to read it, and it waa full of legal points
bearing on the case.

Sound Advice. .
(Sun and Banner.)
You ntr. man, stop to think before you
spend that dollar in. drink; stop to
think before you place that small sum
011. the gambling table; consider
where this drinking, this gambling
will end. , Have you a will that will
enable you to quit, whenever you de
sire, and If you have, are you sin e you
will ever have such a desire? Re
member that you, are responsible for
every act j remember that you have
an influence in the world; remember
that you may not only ruin yourself
but other young men who lookup to
you ami believe in you. What is the
pleasure In a life, the mornings of
which are spent In bed with a head
beating with pain, the thought of an
empty pocket book, of disgraceful ami
foolish acting, of friends disgusted at
your future prosperity? Then' can
there be any real pleasure In drinking
the llery liquid, which you do not like
and which you know will cause you to
act in a manner that you are sorry for
afterwards? Young man you want
to gain a competence for your old age,
you want to have friends iu those days
of your feebleness, you want to have a
decent burial when you die; but If
you do not live carefully, soberly and
act Judiciously, you cannot expect such
an old age.
Temperanco at the South.
(N. Y. Observer.)
On Sunday evening last, theNation
al Temperance Society held a public
meeting at St. Paul's Methodist Episco
pal church In this city, to communicate
information and awaken interest in
regard to the temperance cause among
the colored people of the South. Hon.
Wm. E. Dodge presided, ami stated
the object of the meeting. Mr. J.N.
Stearns also made a stntenir nt.
Rev. Mr. Hood, a colored graduate
of Lincoln University, made an elo
quent addmrs. He said the colored
people of the South look upon the free
use of liquor as one of the privileges
of their freedom, and they need much
instruction and encouragement to aid
them In tho formation of character,
and in rising superior to their tempta
tions. Judge Noah Davis, who has nearly
completed twenty-live years on the
bench, rjave instructive reminiscences
of his observations on the evils of in
temperance ns the source of nearly all
crimes that had come before him. He
spoke also of our obligations to pro
mote the Interests of the colored peo
ple of the South for whose emancipa
tion the North is responsible.
A collection was taken up to assist
in sending temperance books and
tracts to the colored people.

to consider in what direction the in

Democrats and Republicans do you
not march up to the polls, shoulder to

lots for the same candidates that they
do? You are well aware that these
candidates are not pledged to the in
terests ol the cause wlilui you advocate.
Are you equally sure that they are not
pledged to the rum element? If you are
not sure, isn't it about time that you
would lind out? Suppose then, that
for this purpose, you ask these men
with whom you have so long been vot

Dynamite explosion,
j. n. iiandJcco.'s works nbak Brad
ford destroyed.
(McKenn Miner.)
The above factory, situated about a
quarter of a milt from the Roberts'
glycerine factory anil two miles from
Bradford, was totally destroyed at
about two o'clock on Tuesday after
noon. Thecompounddoes not explode
by concussion as is the case with nitro
glycerine, but by means of a prepared
cap, and in this instance the compound
was tired by a spark and the explosion
was that of some glycerine stored on
the premises. At the time the fire
occurred two emp'oves of the factory,
M M. Wilkes aud'W. R. Reynolds,
were making a quantity of the com
pound. They mixed the ingredients
111 large tubs, aud one of these having
been emptied was placed by the stove
to clean and warm. While in this po
sition a spark from the stove set it on
lire and before it could be removed,
the flames had comuiunicted to the
dry wood-work of the room and a con
flagration was inevitable. Notwith
standing this fact, and knowing that
there were 140 pounds of glycerine 011
the premises, the two men went hero
ically lo work and succeeded iu remov
ing the greater part of the glycerine
before they ran for their lives. They
did this none too soon, for they had not
gone more than one hundred yards be
fore the building was blown to atoms,
the Hying debris surrounding them ou
all suits. In their ilightthe men left a
quantity of clothing behind them ami
about $25 in cash; the wonder is that
they eseapetl with their lives. The
Messrs. Hand were away, at the time
ami the loss curtailed bv Ihisexnloslon
is about 1, 000 dollars, without any in
jury to human, lire as was expected by
those who heard the explosion.
