Child ofthe Flood.
Little Moses Williams Born in - the
Height of Johnstown's Destruction.
New York, July 18.—The Inman
steamship City of Chicago, which sail-
ed from New York at 9 o'clock yester-
day morning, has among its steerage
passengers a most interesting Welsh
family, who are on their way back to
Wales. It consist of Griffith Williams,
his wife and their four young children,
whose escape from the recent terrible
flood at Johnstown, Pa., was well nigh
miraculous, It is the youngest, how-
ever, who is the most interesting mcm-
ber of the family group, little Moses
Williams, who is now only 6 weeks
old. His little life began on the flood
itself, which at the very time was
sweeping away so many thousands of
lives, in the attic of a shanty where
his parents had taken refuge. The
frail structure was being rushed along
at a frightful rate by the tossing wa-
ters, its occupants expecting every mo-
ment to be dashed to death among the
piled-up wreckage which surrounded
them. It was in the very midst of
this fearful destruction of life and prop-
erty that little Moses Williams drew
his first breath. Ile doesn’t look any
the worse for it now; in fact,he is a re-
markably bright and healthy looking
baby. Mrs. Willams is a modest
looking little woman, whose face, al-
though young, bears the traces of the
thrilling experiences through which
she has passed and the sufferings of
that terrible night and day on the
flooded Conemaugh. Mr. Williams is
a robust and sturdy young man of
about thirty years. Ie was employed
at the Cambria Iron Works at Johns-
town, where he settled when he came
to this couutry from Wales three years
ago.
“I cannot even now understand how
it was that we should all have escaped,
and under such circumstances, too’
said Mr. Williams on the steamers’
deck just before she sailed. “Provi-
dence surely must have protected my
little family in the midst of all that
death and destruction that was going
on all around us. The baby was born
at 3 o'clock Saturday morning in the
attic of the house where we had taken
refuge. We had then been in the
flood nearly ten hours, and expected
to be crushed to death every moment.
I never expected to save my wife,
much less the baby.
The father told how he had left his
own house early in the day, on account
of the rising water in the lower part of
the village, and had taken his family
to the house of his wife's aunt, who
lived in Lincoln street. When the
flood came on and it was found that
they could not escape from the house
- both families went up on the roof.
They remained there for two hours in
the rain and then went into the attic
rooms. Soon afterwards the house
was carried from its foundations and
went down the stream tossing and
whirling about in the swift current.
When the railroad bridge was reached
the house was caught in the debris
and torn completely in half, one por-
tion floating off in one direction and
the other being forced by the pressure
of back water up the creek which flow-
ed into the Conemaugh at that point.
Williams and Lis family were in one-
half of the house and his wife's rela-
tions in the other. The shock of the
frequent collisions threw them violent-
ly about the small apartment and they
were all bruised and hurt. At 3 o'clock
in the morning, when’ his wife gave
birth to her baby, they were all in ut-
ter darkness. The roar of the rushing
torrent and the crashing of timbers all
aboutthem drowned every other sound.
They could scarcely hear each other's
voices. - Now and then would be
heard the screams of women and the
shouting of men outside as the current
bore them down into the mass of ruins.
Williams did what he could tor his
wife, and the baby was wrapped in a
iece of the old shawl which the mother
boi worn. When daylight broke it
was found that the water was going
down gradually, but it was impossible
“to get away from the wreckage where
they were stranded. They were with-
out food, and what clothing they wore
was wringing wer.
“How we got through that day I
never can tell,” said Mr. Williams.
“It was the most terrible experience
that one could possibly go through.
About 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening I
was able 10 get some assistance, my
wife was placed on an old shutter and
carried over the roof of the houses and
the ruins to the hill, which was not far
away. She was almost dead. we
found shelter there, and then for the
first time the baby was washed and
dressed. The other children were only
bruised. After two weeks my wife was
able to get up, and we wont to Seran
ton, where another aunt lives, and re-
mained there until we cameto this city
on our way back to Wales. I lost
everything TI possessed in the world.
and have had enough of America. I
shall never come back again.

How the Unwary Workingmen were
Humbugged.
Greensburg Argus.
Last year the Republican party
hugged the workingmen to its bosom
with effusive professions of devoted
love. The hugging did its work.
The grateful and guileless laborer went
to the polls in November and voted
the way he was hugged. When the
“model Legislature” assembled at Har-
risburglast January great expectations
were indulged that the interests of la-
bor would be carefully looked after.
Bills were introduced "to compel the
semi-monthly payment of wages, to
abolish “pluck-me’ stores, to protect
mirers from unfair dockage on coal
mined, and for other purposes de-
manded by the wage-earners of the
State, but none of these bills were suf:
fered to run the gauntlet of boss super-
vision. They were not allowed to be.
come laws. The bill to secure Ballot
Reform, the most important measure
offered in the Legislature for many
years in the interest of workingmen,
was thrust under the table. The
votes of workingmen would be effect-
ivein securing a proper regard for their
special interests if they were not cir-
cumvented of real choice by machine
made nominations and intimidations
at the polls. The Legislature adjourn-
ed, having completely turned its back
on every proposition to help the work-
ingman directly, or to help him to help
himself. Bat in 1892 the Republican
leaders will sing to the workingman
again their Protection lullaby, which
seemingly ever soothes him into silly
and somnolent security. The credulity
of the average workingman is as won-
derful as his patience under continued
affront.
"The Worst Not Told.
From Twenty to Thirty Lives Were
Lost—Many Buildings Swept Away
and One Hamlet Said to Have Disap- i
peared Entirely in West Virginia.
PARKERSBURG, July 22.—The reports
from the storm which came to hand
Saturday show that the accidents tele-
graphed Friday night formed but a |
faint outline ot the true situation.
Those best informed of the facts at
hand and who are acquanted with the
country inundated estimate that from
twenty to thirty lives were lost.
one attempts to make an estimate of
the monetary loss for thé reason that
it would be the wildest guesswork to
pretend to reduce it to figures at this
time, but that it will ran into the hun-
dreds of thous nds of dollars is certain.
Saturday morning information came
from Ravenwood, Jackson county,
which threw into a position of secon-
dary importance the devastation along
the Little Kanawha.
The valleys of Pond Creek and sev-
eral other streams empting into the
Ohio at and near Ravenwood, seem f
to have been literally swept clear o
everything and about 10 or 12 lives were
lost on Pond Creek alone. The dwell-
ing house of Edward Baso was carried
away and Mr. Baso was drowned.
The fine residence of Richard Black
was caught by the advancing current
and swept out of existence, drowning
Mr. Black and his wife. Charles
Hughes saw the great wave of water
advancing down the valley and made a
heroic attempt to save his family, but
he failed. His wife and four children
were carried away and’ lost. John
Lockhart was also drowned and his
rother Albert had a narrow escape,
losing all his property.
Sawmills, logs by tens of thousands,
dwellings, stores and all manner of
buildings came down the narrow val-
ley of the stream in a solid mass, ‘o-
gether with the crops of the entire
country bordering the stream, and val-
ley is a complete wreck. Yellow creek
is In the same condstion, and the little
hamlet of Morristown is said to have
completely disappeared. The loss of
lite there is variously estimated at from
eleven to fifteen, but no names are ziv-
en. Thisis the story all along the val-
ley, and it will be several days before
the full damages can be known, as
there is an entire lack of communnica-
tion with a great deal of the flooded
territory.

Rustlers Lynched.
CueyeNNe, Wyo, July 25.—A tele-
gram received to-day announces the
lynching at Sweetwater of Jim Averill
and a woman who lived with him as
his wife. Averill was postmaster at
Sweetwater, which consists chiefly of a
station contignous to a number of
ranches. Averill drifted into the
Sweetwater country four years ago,and
at once took up government claims.
He was soon joined by the woman,
who took up a claim adjoining the
town of Cartwell. Both were recogniz-
ed as hard citizens. The woman was
one of the most daring riders in the
country. She rode man fashion the
most vicious brates, and in roping cat-
tle could take her place with the aver-
age cowboy.
Suspicious as cattle rustlers, they
had been rapidly accumnlating a herd,
and as they came to the country with-
out anything it was regarded as evi-
dence against them. This year they
turned loose 25 freshly branded year-
ling calves, which completely satisfied
the stockmen that they were Mav-
ericking, which particular act led to
the lynching.
From particulars received it is
known that a small band of masked
men surrounded their cabin last night,
and, using a decoy, succeeded in get-
ting both to the door. They were cap-
tured after a desperate strugale, and af-
ter being bound were led some distance
away and together strung up to a limb
of a tree and riddled with bullets.
This is the fifth hanging that has tak-
en place in the same section since last
spring.

Where Will It End.
Harrison's example in appointing
his own, his wife's and son's relatives
to office is spreading in all directions
under his administration.” Comniis-
sioner of Pensions Tanner, a short
time since made his daughter his pri-
vate secretary at a salary of $1,800 a
year, now the Commissioner of Indian
Aftairs, Thos. J. Morgan, of Rhode
Island, has his wife for privatesecretary
at a salary of $1,000 a year. Seeing the
action of these officials Dr. Dorchester,
superintendent of Indian schools, had
his wife appointed Special agent.
This enables her to travel around with
the doctor, when he visits the differ
ent Indian schools, and get her expenses
paid and a salary of $6 a day from
kind old Uncle Sam. All this time
there is a law against the employment
of more than one member of the same
family by the same department.
But what does “the grand old party”
care for law? What respect has it for
decency of appearance ? What is it
here for if not for the plunder that can
be secured from the public offices ?

Matrimonial Statistics.
Somebody has taken the trouble to
compile the following interesting matri-
monial statistics :
Thirteen per cent. of all the men
married in Pennsylvania last year
married women older than themselves.
Seven per cent. took wives of their own
ages, and the remaining 80 per cent.
married women younger than them-
selves. The average age of the men
was 27 years and of the women 23
years,
It appears that more men are mar-
ried at the age of 23 than at any other,
and that among women 21 is the favor-
iteage. The youngest wife of 1888 was
& mere girl, only 13 years old, and the
oldest was aged 71. Two bays of 16
were married, and two old greybeards
of 86 ventured into matrimony, prob-
ably not for the first time,
Of 14,726 women married, and
| whose ages were given, 4,065, or 27.5
per cent. were less than 20 years old.
Among the men there were only 493
who were so young. There were 23
girls of 14 years married, 105 of15, 353
of 16, 816 of 17,1333 of 18, 1434 of 19,
1322 of 20,1204 of 21, 1517 of 22, 1140
of 23. After the latter age the number
of those who found husbands rapidly
decline,
Men proceed more leisurely about
matrimony. Beside the two 16-year
(old husbands in 1888 there were 33
| aged 17, 128 aged 18 and 352 aged 19.
The figures then take a jump to 637 at
20, and reach the maximum in 1565 at
23. They decrease slowly after that.
There were 437 men married after they
were 50 years old, but only 171 women.
There was a remarkable disparity
in the ages of some of the couples. A
women of 59 years married a young
man of 3I, and an old man of 74 wed-
ded a maiden of 24. The youngest
couple were an 18-year-old husband
and alj-year-old wife. The giri of 13,
too, wedded a man 19 years older than
herself. A middle-aged man of 154
married a girl of 18, his age being
just 3 times hers, and a man of 48 did
nearly as well, taking a 17-year-old
| wife,
In the marriages where the women
were older than the men the difference
in ages rarely exceeded five vears.
There were eighty-three marriages
where one of the parties had previous-
ly been divorced.
It is estinated that there were 6,000
marriages of couples from this State in
Camden alone, and, of coure, there
must have been very many more in
cities and towns in other State border-
ing on Pennsylvania.

The First Logs Arrive,
Gazette and Bulletin.
Between 5 and 6 o'clock last night
six car loads of escaped logs arrived at
the Philadelphia and Reading station,
being the first instalment of the flood
tossed timber to be returned to Wil-
liamsport. They were loaded on the
cars at West Milton and Muncy, aad
sent up by local freight, As the train
passed up Front street the people gazed
upon the precious cargo with smiling
faces. Itis expected now that both
railroads will be rushing the logs back
daily in large numbers, so that some
of the mills will be able to start up
in a short time. The logs will be
{taken to Linden, from which point
they will be floated into the boom.
Sullivan Gets the Boodle.
New York, July 23.—To-morr ow
morning John IL. Sullivan will leave
New York accompanied by “Charley”
Johnston, “Jimmy” Wakely and
“Jack” Barnett, for Boston. The
“big fellow’s”” main purpose in coming
to New York was accomplished this
afternoon. The $20,000 stake money
in the great fight was formally turned
over to the champion by Stakeholder
Cridge at 1 o'clock. The Police
Gazette championship belt which ac:
companied the stake money was given
to Wakely to care for for Sullivan.
Wakely gave Cridge a written guaran-
tee thatthe championship trophy
would be forthéoming in the event of
another pugilistic encounter, as was

A Woeful Schedule.
The New York Herald lately publish-
ed a three column record of the busi-
ness disasters, lockouts, strikes, and re-
ductions of wages for the first’ ninety
days of Harrison’s administration. It
is a woeful schedul: of destitution, ex-
tortion, compulsory idleness, financial
desperation, public disaster, domestic
wretchedness, and not at all in accord-
ance with the promises made by the
republican party “if Harrison is elected
and if protection is endorsed.” But
the republican press has no explana-
tions to make, no excuses to offer. It
has accomplished its work and its
duped and deceived followers are left in
the lurch. Tt is wonderful to think
how easily those who. profess to be in-
telligent are so easily misled by dishon-
est newspapers. It is the old story ot
chaft capturing the unwary birds.

A Sad Flood Romance.
_—_
Altoona Tribune.
The death of Maggie, the wife of
Mr. John H. Thompson, of Johns-
town, which occurred at Red Cross
hospital about noon Thursday, was a
peculiarly mournful affair. The week
following the flood she and Mr.
Thompson were married, but three
days later she was taken ill and suffer-
ed greatly until her death. She was
bereft of her parents, two sisters and
all her other relatives by the flood.
The loss of these hastened the mar-
riage, Mr. Thompson hoping to be
able as her husband to help her bear
the great burden of sorrow put upon
her. Shedid not cease to grieve, how-
ever, and a fever set in which termina-

What a Year Has Brought Forth.
Tiffin Advertiser.
One year ago you could buy eighteen
pounds of sugar for one doliar. That
was under a Democratic administra-
tion. Now you can buy from nine to
ten pounds of sugar for a dollar, under
a Republican administration. At the
same time last year you could get a
dollar for a bushel of wheat and now
you can get seventy-five cents. Then
a bushel of wheat would have secured
eighteen pounds of sugar. As you see,
the farmer loses at both ends” of the
transaction, but as many of them voted
for such a condition of affai rs, they
must naturally feel happy that they
have been successful in bringing it
about. Unfortunately, however, their
neighbors, who used their common
sense when they voted, suffer by the
acts of the less intelligent voters.

SUIT AGAINST THE PENNSYLVANIA
RatLroaDn Company.—Elliott K. Rob-
ley, of Mapleton, Huntingdon county,
through his attorneys, W. H. Woods,
and George B. Orlady, of Huntingdon, has
brought suit against the Pennsylvania
railroad company for damages caused by
the recent flood. The plaintiff wants
$50,000 and has brought suit for that
amount.
During the high water Mr. Robley’s
house, barn, and a number of outbuild-
ings were carried away; all or nearly all
of his furniture was destroyed and the
soil was washed away from his farm, de-
stroying the growing crops and render-
ing the land comparatively worthless.
He claims that the water was forced
on his land, or least part of it, by an ob-
struction having at one time been
erected across the Juniata river, and
when the flood came the water was not
permitted to run in the regular channel.
The railroad company built this obstruc-
tion, and the plaintiff holds it responsi-
ble for his loss. It is an important suit,
in which considerable money is involved,
and when tried will create much inter-
est.

A couple of weeks ago we stated that J. W.
Jones & Co. had received the contract for the
erection of the Odd Fellows’ Hall, but since
then they refused to sign the article of agree-
ment, which called for certain conditions they
did not like. Therefore Hoover, Hughes &
Co., being the next lowest bidders, the con-
tract was then awarded to them and accepted.
Work upon it has been commenced, and we
understand that it isto be complated by the
middle of January, 1890.
W. T. Rothrock, who owns a number of ten
ement houses next to the livery stable that
was recently burned, and one of whizh was
also burned, contemplates tearing down the
balance and erecting in their place a large

improvement of that section of the street if a
few more of the old dilapidated buildings now
standing there would also be torn down and
replaced with something of a more neat and
substantial character.
Albert C. Wallon and Miss Annie, daughter
of Mr. W. E. Burchfield, were united in mar.

I AS DONE WONDERS,
Relief After § Years of
: Suffering.
“Think Hood's Daring
Sarsaparilla has done won-
ders for me. For nearly nine years I was a
great sufferer. The greater part of the time I
was unable to attend to the most trifling house-
hold duties. Was receiving medical treat-
ment almost constantly from one physician or
another, without any material benefit. My
nervous system was completely shattered, and
no one can imagine my sufferings. Almost
continually I was suffering the most exerucia-
ting
PAINS IN MY HEAD,
and my heart was never quite free from pain.
Indeed so severe was the pain at my heart that
-| for a long time I could not lie down in bed, but
was obliged to sit upright. Ialso suffered
from dropsy: my limbs were swollen as well as
my body. After becoming thoroughly dis-
couraged, I decided to take no more medicine.
But seeing the the constant advertisement
of Hood's Sarsaparilla in the Philadelphia
Times, I concluded to give this medicine a
trial. After the first bottle I felt much better.
Therefore I continued using it for some time
until I had used six bottles. I am now free
from pain, can lie down and sleep, seldom
have headache, and work more in one week
than I did in six months prior to my taking
Hood 8 Sarsapurilla, And il you can find a
more
THANKFUL, OR HAPPY MORTAL
I should like to meet either one. I have re-
commended Hood's Sarsaparilla to a number
of my friends who are using it with benefit.
I felt it my duty to suffering humanity to
write this statement, I hope that many more
may likewise: be benefited by it.” Ada V.
