Johnstown, June II. Haiti In pouring
down this morning mid bus effectually
Mepjied work of nil kinds In this stricken
city whcrcvverk should go abend as rapidly
us possible. Even thn selillerH sought
the shelter of their tents nnd newspaper
forresiwndbnts mlssetl this morning with
relief the familiar " Have you get n pass?"
from the gunrds at the different places.
The wrccknge nt the stene bridge, which
was fired last night, has been damjiened
considerably nnd unless the rain steps .seen
that Invnlunble work will also eonuitea
standstill.
The crowd around the ceninilf,s.irlrs,
which scciu te lncicnse with each day, tire
mitddiedrngglcd scL The cntrniiee te
each .station It very narrow, yet Inte them
women ami chlldi en, each with capacious
basket, crowd like sheep Inte a pen. Tha
line Is a long one, nnd theso vv he are no un
lucky as te have arrived after six or seven
o'clock have been standing unprotected
and in sonie instances hnlfclad In the pour
ing rain. Their baskets nre generally well
filled, yet en leaving the commissaries
vempluitits are heard en all sides or " no
butter, nor anything fresh, after two
weeks," etc.
In ene way the rain today Is regarded
as a blcs--liig, as the terrible stent h from
burning llesh, which was almost unbear
able last night, is scarcely noticeable. Gen.
Hastings was out early an usual thin morn-
ing nml was kept exceedingly busy.
In an intenlew this morning he
said: "We hae new about all the
workmen we netd and ir it was
net for rain this morning we would have
i!,x) men nt weik. orceuiso this weather
will knock out eerythlng while it contin
ues. We ha e new the w erk systematized
and I don't anticipate any Outlier trouble.
A vast auieiint has alieady Ikmjii done, yet
it Is hardly noticeable."
The drift at the stene bridge is gradually
tielng cleaied. Dyiiamlte is the only tiling
that has any eil'ect upon it and te-day l.Ml
cartiidges me being put in at a charge and
thnneisn from the explosion can he heard
for miles, Engineer Philips, wlie In in
charge or the work, expects te lnie it
tinlslied by Sunday.
It has been decided te tear dew n all un
safe buildings in the town and burn the
wreckage. 'Ihis will be done as seen as
the Philadelphia the engines aie en hand
te tuetcct pioperty that Is safe.
A house te house canvass will be Inaug
urated to-meirow te sccme as near as pos
sible an accurate list of the li Ing and dead
for the state efUelals. The system ;of rig rig
Jstiatieu attempted a week age was net
effective.
Only ene body, n feni de baby, about i
weeks old, was rescued up te neon. It
was badly decomposed nnd buiied w Itlieut
identification.
A peculiar feature of the Meed was that
of 138 saloons in Johnstown and surioutid surieutid
lug tevvns but two escaped destruction.
Chinose lautidiies wete also completely
wiped out and a number of Chinamen are
missing.
The nun which has been pouring down
all morning ceased at neon, and work waH
proceeded with, but only 7iK) weikincu
Mailed in.
lp te 2 o'clock seven bodies have been
recovered. I'eur of them weie taken te
thomeiguoal the Fourth ward ami three

Though tliete was no m.iitlnl law he

THE AMENDMENT.
Mr. Montgomery's Vlews en Vrehlbl

EntTohkev iNTKM.feKNrKR Permit me
te my a few words through your columns
by ay of reply te your editorial In the last
Issae or your cckly prr, ' wlvislng
Democrats te turn out 'ami vote ncalnst the
pending amendment prohibiting the manu
facture and sale or Intoxicating liquors ns n
beverage. Allew me te say right nore that
your advice la entirely gratuitous, as nil in
telligent Democrats knew hew te vete en
this question quite as w ell ns you de.Besldis
your reasons are unsound, undemocratic
and misleading. In the ilrst place you snv
" slnee such vete will be In hnrmenv w 1th
the fundamental Democratic nntlpathy te
sumptuary laws" The following li
Webstw's definition of sumptuary
laws: "Sumptuary laws or regu
lations are such as restrain or limit
the .expenses of citizens in npparel.
feed; furniture or the like." New In nil
fairness, hew can you lorture the proposed
amendment Inte a sumptuary Uw or any
thing nkln te It? It don't propose te In
terfere with the laws of economy that rcgu rcgu
Inte the poeplo's niode of 1U ing.
I cannot sce why you used the word
fundamental In connection w Ith "Dcmo "Dcme "Dcmo
crntle nntlntliy," Ac. The word dema
gogic, would have been In better harmony.
Theso old, stale retoUUIens which Demo
crats used te fulmlniiteln their conventions
jrwrs Age, are by 116 means the fundamental
principles of the Democratic party; or, In
fact, any part of them; they were merely
clnp-trap, used for the purpose you nre
using them new ; they nover hnd any in
telligible meaning.
Hut let Us discuss, nre nnd con. this Issue
from it purely Democratic standpoint. The
liquor trattlc, ns n iMiverage, has no status
In Pennsylvania, nsa business only that
given te It by tlie license laws ns they new
exlst. The amendment In. effect,, simply
liruimscH ie expunge wns inw irem ine
statute books. Yeu unto the Democrats te
turn out nnd sustain It. Tills law author
izes the court te grant license with certain
restrictions j nnd the llconse court of Phil
adelphia, rer.exiiinple, in the exercise of Its
lunctiens has selected out of Its million of
peeple tvvelv e hundred, and given te them
tlie exclusive monopoly of this luerative
business. New I nsk is net this law ene
of the most intolerable species or sjicclnl
legislation that ever disgraced the statute
books or Pennsylvania, and in direct con
flict with the most cardinal principles of
the Dcmecratlcparty ; which declares cftml
rights te idl ami speclnl favors te nene T
Tlie battle cry or the Democratic partj
has always been, that the government
should be cdmiulstercd se us te se
cueo the greatest geed te the greatest
nuniber or people. Dees net the
llconse law conflict with this beautiful
tenet of the Democratic cede? Did you
ever knew or nn Instance whero the wil
ing and drinking or intoxlcntleng liquors
ever tlie bnr contributed ene letn te the
prosperity nnd happiness or ene family or
individual, save the vender, nnd in
many instances there, temporal presjierlly
in the end resulted disastrously ?
New let us leek en the ether slde of the
picture, (lladstone says, nnd tliore is no
higher authority lu the world, that the
manufacturing, Kile mid drinking of Intoxi
cating liquors has inflicted mere suffering
en the human family than nil three or the
great scourges together, war, pestilence sod
famine. And strangely you arj uppenling
te the Democracy te go te I hep ills and cast
their votes te porpetuato tlie legalizing of
this tratllc, which is fraught with such
direful results, and te de it in defense or
the fundamental piiuciples or the Demo
cratic Nirty. There is oue ether artlcle of
the Democratic cedo w hieli this license. law
antagonizes, nnd that is the taxing or com
modities Hint go Inte general use. Inas
much ns tlie peer comprise the large
majority or thoceplo, and that ns the
consiimer idways pays the tax, the Demo
cratic party bus alw'avs held that such
taxes are unjust and should be repealed.
Tliere is no tnx of this character ns objec ebjec objec
tlenablo as the license tax. It takes the
bread out of the mouths and the raiment

children.
The peopleor Pennsylvania are spending
millions of dollars annually, both publlclv
and privately, mr charitable, religious and
educational ptuposes. At tlie same tlme
you nre urging tlie Democrats te go te the
election en next Tuesda valid vete te sus

or it. De you think such an anomaly Is
consistent with the principles or the Demo

te fear that they would be taken from him
and rcrerred te sumo oue sheeting Inte thn

conviction he did net appear te

lu a disjointed and rumbling mnntier
and when his npprenchlng execution
was referred te he speke nbeut it
In the snme way. or his II fe In the
Jail he said Hint cople were trying " Ie
work it en him." He had Ideas that his
feed nnd drink hnd been tampered with,
showing n ixrvorslen or his sense or taste.
He also spokeof bad odors which ev Idently
had no existence, nnd said that the walls or
his cell wero nt times very het tothetotich.
He nlse had visions efdlficrcut tilings Hy
ing through his cell. He also heard noises
that probably had nwcxlstence. He thought
he wus under the influence of elect rlcnl cur
rents. Dining the entire Inlervlowhewas
restless nnd mere or lcssnbscnt-inlnded,
nnd could net apparently concentrate his
thoughts, nnd appeared te be in communi
cation with ideal fancies. "I made an
earnest effort te ascertain whether he could
by any possibility be playing a pnrt. I
wns convinced without the shadow of a
doubt that he wns Insane."
Mr.Hiewn "Plense state w hether or net
Jnmcs H. Jacobs, nt the tlme you saw him,
wns n subject proper te have ivlsitcd upon
him the judgment that had been pro
nounced, namely, the death sentence?"
Dr. Gerhard" In my opinion he was
net."
On cross-examlii.itiou the doctor slated
that Jacobs' pulse was n nervous pulse,
about M). Ills oyes were unsteady and he
looked around in n vv lid, way, but beyond
that tliere wns ne'thlug iilineim.il about
them " this wns a chronic ensw or Insanity
lu whit It theie w'Jts no paralysis. The
pupils or his eyes w ere normal, as we would
expect te find them in such a case."
Mr. Weaver " Has liu or has lin net
lucid Intervals from your examination."
Dr. Oerhnrd "In my opinion be has
net.
"1 would chnrncterizn his form of insan
ity ns chronic mania with delusions,
sometimes called delusional Insanity.
These delusions may, and probably have
been of several years standing. t lu
sonie cases ene or several or all of the
the senses become pel verted. In this case
I would Hiiy I found all llve senses per
verted. 1 bellev e it would hav e been
Imposslhle for him te have se simulated in
sanity if he had been insane. Tlie fact or
Ills being in prison for two years nnd a
halt' under the charge or npudci- mid
part or the tlme under sentence of death
would net produce the mental condition
in which I found him."
On Tuesday, June 11, lu the presence of
tlie snme parties, Messrs. Martin nnd
Weaver called witness Dr. IMwnrd N.
Hruch, formerly uimustetl with the New New
Yerk state lunatic asylum and at present
at Klrkbriile's, the Pennsylvania hospital
for tlie Insane, at Philadelphia. He
lias been editor or the American Junriutl

al the Instance of the commonwealth mid
vlsted Jacobs In jail en Monday, June 10,
lu company with the sheriff, lie sat upon
his mattress en the fleer and refused te
shake bauds. His pulse was irregular,
about be per minute. The doctor ques
tioned him en Ids personal history, but
round it dilllcull te keep his mind en the
subject. He gave n long and rambling
account id his crime witli much Irrelevant
mutter and constant gesticulations. Ills
story coincided very closely with the ene
teldnthlstrlal. "I again interrupted him
soinew hat quickly nnd told him I was a
physician from Philadelphia (emitted
witli a lunatic hospital, and asked him if
he wanted me te get the Impression that
he was crazy. He denied with sonie con
siderable emphasis that (here w ns anything
the nutter with his mind." The doctor
urged him te talk mere sensibly, and said
that he was tliere as his fllcnd and gesticu
lation and nonsense would have no effect
neon him. He kept Ids hands upon the
prisoner's pulse, but it did net vary. He
did this te observe whether the convcisa cenvcisa convcisa
tleti made any Impression or change
iisiu Ids nervous londltieii. " If he
were under any seveie mental strain
in trying te keep up appear
ances and make an Impression iqsiu
me lie might be nble tehidu the appearance
el it in his countenance, but hu could net
control the reflex influence iijkjii his
heart." A Iter an examination or his phys
ical londitien the doctor left III ii i and re
turued again lu the afternoon. Jacobs
talked about his military service, his wlfe
and i hiliiren uud his tii.il, the dot ter hold
ing ids pulse and counting it frequently.
"He seemed te have the Impression that he
had been unjustly scutcmed te death for
the reason that he had been already killed
while in Jail, His story was se Inco
herent that it was dilllctilt te fol fel
low the exact line of thought, but
he told us repeatedly that he bad been
killed in Jail, nnd (silntisl te a natural pro
trusion or oue of the segments of the spinal
column as a iint where bis neck bad been
broke u." When be was Ilrst brought te
jail tliere vvnsa severe struggle with him
fur the purjiose of administering incdlclue.
The d-ter tried te make him show- ovl evl ovl
deuce of nervous dlstui bance by talking et
his denth sentence, but his ceiintcn.ini c ro re
uialucd iliu hanged mid pulse uualtcrid,
" I told liliu that I hail come te sec
liliji with. view ul" nj1liiir te
the pardon beard if he were Insane.
He did net answer iny question, but
nsked me If I thought he was crazy. In
order te test him I said, ' Ne,' and made
the same Inquiry of him. He replied that
there was nothing the matter with his
mind." During this conversation there
was no chniige In his countenance or his
pulse. "My opinion drawn from these
examinations Is Hint the prisoner is Insane
anil that he is suffering rrem a presumably
Incurable form of Insanity which Is com
monly called chronic emnia or chronic
delusional Insanity. Jncebs already
has a very Irregular hearl.whlch varied In
side of llve minutes from seventy-two te
ninety-two, but ul no tlme during the
numerous tests Hint 1 made did his pulse
show any evidence of mental strain or ex
citement." The doiter declined Hint there
vvnsn possibility but no probability of his
uvovery nnd the pilsencr is net in such
mental condition as te be a 111 subject for
capital punishment.
