The Penn'a Hit. com p., offers to build u* a broad guage if the people along the line do as they promised and raise money enough to grade it, but advise us, for our own good, in view of the new light that has been thrown upon railroad guages, to chose the narrow guage. now what is there wrong and unfair about it, and yet Mr. Meek denounces this sug gestion ifi the of bi*favorite bill which leaves us not even the poor boon of mak ing choice of other than the narrow* guage. Again, Mr. Meek denounced Mr. Mil ler's bill in the Valrikmms a* all our peo- : pla will recollect, and delayed it at Harris burg, hecaqsa if mortgaged our road for a large turn at 7 per cent. Moyr wa give below the 4th section of Mr. Meek * bill, which also propose* to mortgage the road and at 8 per cent.,— one per cent higher than proposed by Jr. Miller's bill, which he made our people believe was so outra geous. Here is tb 4lb sertlnuofMr. Meek'sbill: Section 4 That the said company thai! have the right to issue their bonds to an I amount not exceeding seven thousand dol-| lars per mile of said railroad at a rale oi interest not exceeding eight per centum per annum and secure the payment of said bonds by a mortgage of the corporate right* franchise* and property both real and |er sonat of said company and tho directors of said company are authorized to negotiate said bonsi at wii price as they may de termine Now we ask the people of Pennsvalley' what they think of all this, after reading the scoldings in Mr. Meek'spaper. and pla cing it side by side with hi* doing* at Har risburg, favoring a bill to ollotc nothing in Centre county but a net work of narrow guagc railroad*, mortgaged at 8 per ccnt..\ and then coming bach and through tbe col umns of hi* paper getting you into a tight against the narrow guage I This is not tbe only narrow-gunge bill Mr. Meek favored ; there were a cumber of tbera.'but this one answer* our purpose, and we think answers bis scolding*. We are sorry in make these remarks, but the bad advice of the Watchman for the last three weeks, and its worse effect u|>on our people, left us no other course—left u* no other course if we desire a railroad. After having labored so long and so hard for it for years, now, when our people are about to reap tbe fruits of all thoir labors, we cannot tit by silently and see tbe pro ject strangled in so despicable a manner, a* *e are here forced to expose. It is an in sult to our people, a* it is presuming that they have not intelligence enough to un derstand their own affairs, and can be made to swallow any draught thutjs presented to tbem; many men are found playing in that character with tbe people of this side the county. What was the object, in tho Ist section of tbe above bill, in tickling so many of our citizens with a narrow guage straw, if narrow guages are the humbug represented by our neighbor? say? Why does be denounce the narrow guagc for tbe L. C. AS. C. Kit. and then try to force a " one home velocipede" as he now calls it, upon the people of Brush valley and Pennsvalley, and mortgaged with bonds at 8 per cent, interest? If, then, the opinions—or scoldings—of the Watchman, are entitled to respect, it must be upon the ground that its editor is a great railroad man, as shown up by bis ability—and we acknowledge it—to ride both the broad and narrow guage ponies. To be able to ride two horse* at the same time, the animal* must be matched, and our friend Meek having performed the feat, it necessarily proves that the narrow guage pony must be perfect match of tbe broad guage horse, unless at this'writing it is shown that the rider has been thrown. Every intelligent person who has looked into the matter of narrow guages, has ad mitted its plausibility, and the subject is gaining friends every day, and loosing none, and if the Watchman editor by bis late course thinks to.have made capital for a 4th term, we fear he may find he hat been fishing in shallow water for populari ty and that the people bavo detected that statesmanship and grentness should run in a different channel, whither bis line hat not yet been thrown. All the railroad men in this country and 1 Europe argue in favor ofthe narrow guage, as being the least expensive and most profi ' table, and affroding the same advantages a* the wider guano.

So then let one loud hurrah go up, from ail narrow guagc and broad guage throat*, for Meek I The W atckman a**ert* that tho pcoplo along ti>o lino subscribed about five hun dred thousand dollar* to grade the road. You are again misinforming the people, dear neighbor, for that is the sum that should have been aubtcribed, and it is now about one third hort of your figure, and tell us who will make it u| to grade a broad guage, which we are to have if we raLc the deficiency. Now, neighbor reason plainly and keep to the fact*, and ave u* the troub lo of following you up. We can give you the figure*, the amount subscribed i* ju*t $.125,000 or $ I To, 0(10 dollar* less than you say, and if it coptc* up half to (he amount you misrepresent it, it will give u the broad guage if vrc are foolish cnought to accept it. Now stick a pin there and quit your claptrap. The Watchman then ask* with an air of triupph, ''Will *otne of tho deadweights who arc controlling tfcis motley apiaer?

If we are to have a Narrow Guage rond through Pennsvalley at a eot of ix thous and dallar* per mile, and if the people along tho route are to be compelled to pay the live hundred thousand dollars subscrib ed. what I* to bo done with the five hun dred thousand dollar* subscribed or pro posed to be subscribed by tho Pennsylva nia railroad company ?— Watchman. Well now that is a heavy question, and again displays the ignorance ofthe Watch man. Wo tell you the people along the route did not subscribe fire hundred thous and dollars —but are $175,000 short of it. We tell you that the Peno'a railroad com pany has nothing to do with it, and was not to subscribe any thing for, the gra ding. That is left altogeUiur, whatever it cost, for the people along the line. If tho Penn'a K. K. ha* any stock it goc* for ex pense* other than grading. It is alto gether clear that the W atchman is a* little booked upon our railroad offair* at home, a* its cjitor wa* when be ran wild upon narrow guages at HarrUburg, last winter. PROFITS OF NAIIROW-T! AUGK The Greeley (Colorado) Tribune says that in building a narrow-gauge railroad from Greeley to the mountains, interest <>n the bonds could bo paid lor in the in creased price potatoes would sell for, that is, in building tho road, potatoes would sell for three cents a pound at least. |f inn built, thev wo Id not bring more than one cent a pound. "If, as our friend Kurtz of tho Centre Hall Reporter says, that Hon. Tho* A. Scott ha* asserted that all railroad* hereaf ter will be built on tho narrow guage idea, is correct, will some one explain why some ef the money Mr. Scott's companies are now investing is not used to build Narrow Guage road*, is* place of being expended to constrict routes ofthe ordinary guage,' Watchman, Just such fudge has come from the same quarter. Our neighbor should have known that one of Tom Scott's companies has the greater part of stock in our road which is to be narrow gunge. Besides, all the daily papers of this week contain thi* item which is a farther answer to the ghove misrepresentation! "THOMAS A. SCOTT—Leavenworth. Kansas, Juno '24. —Thos. A. Scott, of the Pennsylvania Central Kail road is here, ilit vis t is understood to strengthen the projected Narrow (lunge Roud front here to Denver." ♦ -•- ♦ Narrow (Jlingo or Nary (initio. that** what one of Meok's railroad Lille reads. Meek had about a half doaen bills, all upon the principle of narrow gunge or "na ry" guage. The W ATCIIMAW is mistaken wit eh it scolds the Penn'a railroad for wanting to give our people a narrow guage or nothing. Our good neighbor read that idcain Meek* bill of last winter—there is where the language reads "you people of Miles, Haines and Penn must take a marrow guage or nothing." The Pennsylvania railroad is much fairer, itoffers a choice, if we raise all the money fora broad guage they still offer to make it, but under lite late developements they advise us to ac cept the narrow track, us being the best ta ken all ground.

An account of the largest rope in the world, :is described in ono of the daily paj*rs of Birmingham, England —the place of its manufacture —will prove interesting to the American rea der. According to the details given the rope is 11,000 yards long, mea sures five and one-fourth inches in cir cumference, and weighs over sixty tons. Made of patent charcoal wire, laid round a hemp centre, the rope consists of six- stands, with ten wires in each stand. Each wire measures J'2,- 100 yards, so that the entire length of the wire icaches the enormous total of more than four hundred and twelve miles. To this is to be added the length of yarn used for the centre, namely, twenty seven threads, each thread measuring 15,000 yards, and giving a total length of about two hundred and thirty miles. Adding together the wire and yarn thero is a grand total of 035 miles of material— all going to make up a monster wire and hemp rope a little under six miles long. Pittsburg.

The Terrible Magazine Expiation— More than Three Hundred Women and Children Killed— fhP 4*Y VmU of EraguiCtflt of Human Bodice— Awful and Sickening Sighte. Paris, May 18.—A terrific explo sion occurred yesterday at 5:30 p. ra. ! I, who am a mile from the scene of the disaster, thought I was a dead wau. I have a powuer about one hundred and fifty yards from me. Yesterday morning there-were thirty ilive or forty railway vans discharging shells into it. When I heard the se- 11 AIM vf t)A 1 made aura it waai the above-mentioned powder magazine which had blown up, for the reporta ' were deafening—the house ahivered,; the windowa rattled, every woman waa ,|hri*fcig, children were eobbfcig, Ma tjtionil (Tuard* wero tunning wildly about, crying. "To arm*! to arm*!' I looked nround mo hi see which wall of the houoe would fall firaL Finding it remain firm on it* foundation 1 went i to the window to find the *troet filled ■ with n terrified crowd, but nobody i could diecover the source of the dcto ■ nation, until a man cried, "I)o look there!" An extraonlinary sight pre •enUx] itaclf. A ball fi or 7 timee aa large a* the Federal Capitol float ed in mid-air. It wa* smoke, but *o black and o deiie that the ray* of the settled sun were distinctly visible a* i pencil* of light protruding on every > aide beyond it, like the aotar spectrum aocu in a dark room wbeu beam* |ieoe- . irate some shutter'* crevice. The e huge ball floated motionless, and gave j no sign of merging into air. e, Presently volumus of thinner smoke v curled fitfully upwards, and now and > then forked tongue* of flame ran ner [> vously from their bottom to their top. I 'The' Hotel de* Invalide* baa been i- blown up" wa* the general cry. Down t- toward* it an laudation of human be lt tog* poured in cousUntJy gathering - flood*, which choked even tbo broad outer boulevard*. Window* had lost all their glass, and dinner-tables lied 1 been overturned and their china ves sels shattered. Hut 'twa* not the In velide*; it was the extensive cartridge I manufactory ou the Champ de Mar* i which had exploded. When the ca- J tastropbe occurred tho street* where r full of people reluming home to din - ner. They thought e battery of mi - trailleuses wa* planted at the street 1 comer and we* throwing volley* down t it. Every person fell flat on the t gr<>uud. As one drew near the Champ ) de Mar* the sight baffled description. ► [ Arms, legs, band*, head', some of them i Mill quivereng with vestiges of life the , majority of them blsckeoal with now-! I der and with Are, were to be found ev- I try teu paces one made down the - street. There wa* not a whole win , dow anywhere to be seen. Cartridges lor balls oy cartridge papers were istrewn broadcast. 1 picked up a HChamepot ball melted and flattened to the length of four iucbes. Three .hundred yard* from the scene of explo- - i tiou the naked trunk of a women wa* found ; head and limb* bad been torn i off The number of ka* not! yet a*uclamed Three hundred; jw the lowest oatimate mail*. Five hundred women were employed in the manufactory; but two hundred leave work at 4:30 n. m. each day. |tj lia believed tbe build' oon tamed three hundred women' whet) vko explosion took place.' } These all perished, and tb{y are not! the only victim*. A model lodging- ' house called Cite Napoleon ha* been so much damaged that it* fi\U i* hour ly expected \ great many of it* ten jaqu were kilted. All the wounded isoldiera in the ambulance of Rue de la < Universe were killed. A woman i standing at a window had one arm pulled out of iu socket, aud *he died 1 instantly from the nervous shock and I tecftq- ttno woman leaped from her 1 window aud wa* killed. In the same ( house an infant was rent to pieces iu it* cradle.

But for the prompt arrival of the firemen the dis asters would have been still greater, for there were a thousand barrel* 01 powder in tbe neighboring magazine*, and the fire was rapidly gaining them. AU the sheds on the eastern aide of the ( amp de Mars were in flames. The powucr wa* stored iu eel lent under them. Several hundred vehicles of every description—omnibuses, ambu lance wagons, hacks, i ail way wagons —were aoon on the spot carry ing away the victims. Some of these vehicles had eight, uoue had leas than two, corpcs or wounded persons. News! See Here!
