THE FOURTH OP JIT1.T
Some people thonght when the
slave holders rebellion was over, a
new era wonld be dated from the
surrender of Lee on the 9th of
April, 1865, bat they did not read
the signs of the times correctly
They thought the new era date
would take the place of the 4th of
July, the birth-day of the Amer
ican nation. The death of the slave
holders rebellion meant the eman
cipation of a race. The 4th of July
meant the declaration of emanci
pation for all nations. That all
men are free and equal before the
law, and while it is not every one
that can go into a minute explana
tion of its full meaning all Amer
icans instinctively feel it, hence it
is the big day in the United States
and cannot le replaced by any
other day, or event. The day was
celebrated pretty much as every
individual felt, either to join with
others in an organized celebration,
or individually, or by family cele
bration, or by attending quietly to
one's own work. The organized
demonstration here in Mifflintown
was under the auspices of the Hose
company. It was not a great long
procession that tired one to look at,
but it was a gem of a procession,
from beginning to end, with two
bands that filled the air with music;
just the kind of a procession that
caused people to view it at one
square, and then take the near way
to intercept it on another square
for a second Bight. Every thing
about it was fine, but the crowning
feature was the company of girl
cadets from Newport. The girls
were as pretty as rose buds. They
marched with the procession like
soldiers. The procession wa3 formed
at 1.45 p.. m., on Bridge street.
Dr. W. II. Eodgers was marshal.
The line of march was out Wash
ington, to East End, there counter
march to Cherry, down Cherry to
Main. When marching on Cherry
street a brisk shower of rain began
to fall, and by the time Slain street
was reached it was raining hard.
Marshal Bodgers turned to see
how his handsome column of para
ders were standing the rain. He
looked upon an empty street, ex
cepting the McAlistetville band
whojstood by the marshal and fin
ished playing its piece. The para
ders had vanished, had run for
shelter from the rain into houses
and stores along the line of march.
After the rain the line was reform
ed and started for beyond the river,
and had traversed the programmed
route and the head of the possession
was on the river bridge on the re
turn march, when
and children, a few were moving, ladies came and remarked, "Oh the wooden bridge at end of Front

All business stopped, livery one

other places, were as much
worked up over the disaster as the
town people. Few came out of the
disaster without injury. The fol

down with the bridge :
Geo. Book, a carpet weaver with KaufT-
man & Harley, had a leg broken in
two places, one break above the ankle

THE FESTIVITIES.
The festivities of the day "were
almost brought to a stand still by
the appalling disasterat the bridge.
The tub race in the river had a
number of contestants. Ralph M.
Mc Williams, of Illinois, on a visit
to his uncle, ex-Sheriff Loudon, in
this place won first money in the
tub race, Beverly Mayer of this
place won second money and South
ard Robison of this place won the
third money.
Brainard McNeal of this place
captured the greased pig.
Wilson Warner of this place
climbed the slippery pole and re
ceived the prize on top.
The New Port cadets gave an en
tertaining drill in the court house
yard in the evening. "
The days festivities closed with
a cake walk on the south side of
the old canal basin.
Ex Sheriff Lapp was chief officer
of the day and bis management was
good throughout.
A FEW FACTS.
Tbe fall of that portion of tbe canal
bridge used as a foot passage on tbe 4th
of July, whereby many people were in
jured, has caused considerable discus

A CALAMITY
took place at the bridge that crosses
the defunct canal. The canal bridge
is a structure that was hastily put
up to fill the place of the bridge
that was washed away by the great
flood in the summer of 1880. It is
eleven years since it was built by
the canal company or the railroad
or whoever claimed jurisdiction of
the premises. The bridge that
crosses the canal was the only
way to approach the river bridge
from Mifflintown. It is a span of
alrout 50 feet in length. When re
built in 1889, two trestles were set
in the canal bed and sills were
placed from the shore to the trest
tles and planks laid on the rails, a
railing was placed on the north and
south sides of the bridge, outside
of the railing on the north side
there was constructed a side walk.
The walk was supported on the
bridge on tbe trestle sill that pro-
jected from under the floor of
road way. The sill nearest

Supervisor Gumbes of .the rail
road company was soon upon the
scene and barred the way to the
opening made by the fall of the
foot walk.
By filling the canal chasm with
ground and stones to a level with
the abutments, the Railroad Com
pany would get a road way and
foot way that would not break
through if crowded with people
one against the other.

ilton, including the river dam adjacent
thereto in Mifflin county to the Juniata
Junction at Duncan's Island in Dauph
in county, was granted to said com
pany by tbe Legislature by Act of As
sembly, approved March 16, 1899. This
act also givesto the canal company the
right to sell or lease the material and
such estate as it may possess in the land
and real estate on which the canal' is
situated Jand which is appurtenant
thereto from time to time, as it may
deem proper and make conveyance
therefor By virtue of tbe authority
granted by the Legislature the canal
company ou Sept. 15, 1899 by resolu
tion of its board of Directors declared
the Juniata Division abandoned, and
by deed dated Oct. 18, 1999, "eouveyed
to the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
that portion of the Juniata Division
mentioned above and excepting tbe
corporate rights and franchises of tbe
canal company.
The railroad company took posses
sion of the property and the last repairs
that were made on the bridge were
made by the railroad company aud in
eluded repairs to the foot-walk, which
now lies in the bed of the canal.
Tbe flood of 1889 destroyed the iron
bridge across the canal. The Pennsyl
vania Canal Company then hurriedly
built tbe bridge that now spans the ca
nal bed at this place, but they did not
build a foot-walk.
Among the minutes of the Mifflin
town Town Council for November 11,
1889, we find the following:
"On motion, chair appointed Messrs.
Schott and Kirk a Committee to make
a foot-walk across the canal at side of
bridge and to buy suitable railing for
tbe dangerous places at either side of
the canal bridge.
The minutes of the Council meeting
for January 6th, 1890, contains tbe fol
lowing:
Mr. Schott from the Committee to
make foot-walk across canal and to
place suitable railing at sides of' canal
bridge reported that duty attended to."
This foot-walk was built by the town
council and was attached to the Penn
sylvania Canal Company's bridge and
was fastened to and upon wooden piers
or trestles built by theCanal Company.
It was the giving way of one of these
piers or trestles that caused the foot-
walk to fall into the canal bed.
There seems to be a difference of
opinions to whether the bridge is lo
cated in Mifflintown borough or Fer
managh township, but a careful read
ing of the following Acta of Assembly
will satisfy one that tbe bridge or at
least that part of it which fell Is located
in Mifflintown borough:
Act of March 6th, 1833: Section I,

of
During these perilous tiroes an atro
cious murder waa committed In Adama
county and the perpetrators were noon
captured. The evidences of guilt were
plain, and the two prisoner were soon
pronounced guilty and sentenced to be
hanged. Bnt as several notorious char
acters had recently been allowed to es
cape by the supreme court, the people
of Adams determined to forestall any
thing of that kind by quietly lynching
the prisoners. The two men were tak
en from the jail and hanged to a rail
road bridge east of town.
The bodies were left banging to tbe
bridge, and next morning Judge Gas
ltn sauntered out that way to take a
look. He gased on the swaying bodies
for a few moments without saying a
word. Then-be turned to a friend and
remarked:
I sentenced those two fellows to be
banged. That's one decision that In

THE REPORTER'S METHODS.
Market DlnTercaee Prom Tbsh mt tk4)
Orator, Preacher Ml Hovel la C
Probably not one reader In a hundred
has paused to notice that a newspaper
ample is writtou on a plan Just the re
verse of that of a sermon or oration.
Comparatively few ministers have an
alyzed the subject sufficiently to notice
this fnct, and their Ignorance of It will
orten account for the reluctance of
newspapers to accept matter contribut
ed by them. It Is worth the while of
every man and woman to know tbe
general plan on which newspaper art!
des are written, for almost everybody
desires at times to announce something
mrougrj the press. The mere knowl
edge of the theory will not make a suc
cessful writer In this or any other de
partment, but It Is the first step.
The skillful preacher or orator usual
ly reserves his most Important points
nntii toward the end of his discourse,
eloslng with a climax; the skillful
newspaper reporter nuts his climax In
to his first sentence and ends with the
most nonessential detail. While the
novelist secures his dramatic effect by
keeping tbe secret of his story hidden
SS long as possible, the reporter attains
success by revealing his secret as
quickly as words will let hlni. Moth
are working on prirclplea as clearly
defined as that on which a sonnet Is
constructed, but -the modern newspa
per article is of go much more recent
date that few critics have analysed It
and even many of tbe best New York
writer work dally upon tbe foregoing
srlnclple without Anowing It. No man
