The number of votes polled Ht J o'clock
en Tuesday afternoon indicated that the
vete in the city would be light, but U was
net. The niaiuigcrs of the anti-pnuilbltieu
amendment In the amend wards, from that
hour until the Kills dosed vv;trked hard
and by their personal nnpeala induced
ninny te ceme te the polls, m he did net in

was dlrettHl luoinlylte ascertain the.vetcri
Hgninst (he amendment. The result ac
cording te their iell books Inditatcd a
much Joti majority against the mnend
mer4t than wan given, and that was
' twba ev cry man net known positively
rajralnst thu aineudmcnt was given te the
Prohibitionists. Thure was but ery llttle
west K)ektt v eting and many persons w he
were supposed te be for PiohthUieu voted
an open anti-Prohibition ticket.
I July In the day it. wan e hlrnt that the
I'rohibitlen vote In the city would be
smaller than their expei tatitms, and thin
induced the lliuier moutewoik hard te get
ut a big vote, te make the anti-Prohibition
majority decisiv e.
In hoveral of the ward the prohibition
ists w ero w ilheut poll ceniiiilttccuicn, and
3n the w arils w here that p.rty had men en
duty, they worn without political oxporl exporl oxperl
mo. There was no energy in them,
they did net try te uiike votes, and steed
around waiting te be asked for ticket.
There was but llttle Intercst taken In the
an lira go amendment, and the aggregate
vete in the city en that amendment is
about twelve hundred less than en the pro
hibition amendment.
larly in the evening it wan known lh-r,
the city had geno"wet" byaery l'rge
majority, from the slze of the vete arj( the
men that wcie taking an interest bi the
fight en behair of the antl-ProbirjltienistH.
The tickets wcre short and It, was known
that the vote would been no counted off,
but it w an strangp te see crowds standing
around awaiting the retunii before dark,
which Is seldom the ease, ns Uineaster
elections are tiaitilly held in the fall or
winter. The llrtt vnrd te ceme In was the
Firth, and it was a geed indicator.
The ethers seen followed, and
when the figures wcre placed en
the bulletin, boardsef the new spajici offices
tliey wcre, greeted with tremendous npi
plause. t'entre Sipiarc had almost as
m.iny peojile as upon a goneral
tlcc'.teii niglit, and ninoty-iiiiieonn liun

goods." The few tcuipet.mce men who
made their appearance vv ero guj ed vv hen
recognized and they seen stoleuwaj' tethcir
"hWies. The returns Irem both city and
county net only surprised the crowd by
their size but seemed te please them greatly.
The eighth ward secins te be the banner
district el the county for the liquor men.
In that great Democratic stronghold J5
votes w eie polled, yet but f7 of them w ero
for tompcraiice whlle 701 wcre against it.
Kphrat.i gavn a tioincudeim majority the
same way and there wcre gre.it gains all
ever the county ever the vote of lh7J en
local option. '1 he City hotel w us the head
quarters for the antl-ameiidmcnt people
and they gatheied in ciowdH-frem all ever

President Sihuuni Secretary Teufel nnd
Treasurer Snyder or the Licensed Liquor

leunty ami state, and the large nnd do de
lightfyi crowd tliat thronged the streets
wor.e kept informed of everything by a
le-rgfl bulletin beard that was kept tilled
vlth returns. Although it was known
rnrly that the state had gene against the
-amendment, the stieets was crowded with
people, and cxeiy one that was out seemed
pleased with the result.
The oteoutlio suflrage nnieudment in
the county was a great surprise. It was
fiuppesed that tlie majority in its r.iver
would be greater than the majority against
prohibit! in but te thegreat dlHappeintment
rthe K)liticians, wlul'were gieatly inter inter
tsted in tliiHameudmeiit, the majority for
it in the county is small. In a number of
districts wliore the vete for anti-prohibition
was very large, the vete against the
NUfTrage amendment was uline.t tinnni tinnni
meus. In a coiivers.itleu with some el the town
ship werkers te-day it was learned that the
eellug in their distrn ts v as that the tax or
every man should be paid te give him a
right te vote. In ethers the amendment
was net understood pieperly, and in still
ethers no attention was paid in getting
people te vote Ter 01 against tlie amend

THAT AWFUL DM.
HOW IT WAS STRBMiLY CtUDEXSEB M.NE
TEARS AGO.
The Cambria Officers Protested Hut Did
Nethtn. and the Dam SU.vcd Till It
Ilroke Stubborn ConHdeuce of the
President of the Club,
Jehn Pulton, general malinger of the
Cambria Iren company, writes te the Pitts
burg Dispatch, te dcuy the statement that
he had been content w Ith the repairs made
by the .Seuth l'erk Fishing club In 1880 te
their dam. He further says the main cattse
leading te the breaking ofthe dam was the
choking I)) lumber, brush and legs of the
overBow en the north slde of the dam,
which wan originally 70 feet wide. This
caused tlie watef te flew ever the central
portion or the .Aim the portion that had
been repaired making the brca'c thct hs
caused such a terrible disaster te the Cono Ceno Cone
niaugh alley.
After I had submitted my report te Mr.
Merroll the matter was considered here,
and I think it w as decided that we had no
legal means of arresting the repairs or the
dam. 1 may mid that Colonel Uncer ay
predated the value or the report which I
had made, and had very considerable work
done atlerw aril in strengthening the part or
the bank that had been assumed te be com
pleted. He encloses the following letters :
Jehns-town, Nev. 2fl, 1P80.
Hen. D. J. Merrcll, tlencral Manager
Cumbria Iren Company, Johnstown :
Sin : As you Instructed, I met a repre
sentative delegation of tlie " Sportsmen's
Association of Western Pennsylvania, "
at the old resorvelr dam ferknr thoCono theCono thoCeno
matigh river, two and a hair mlles south
east Trem Seuth l'erk station en the Penn
sylvania railroad .
This delegation, consisting or Colonel
linger, C. A. Carpenter, esii., secretary or
the Imanl or directors, and a number or
gentlemcn, brought with them N. M. Me
llow oil, esq., C. K. or Pittsburg, te exam
lne the dam in company with your engi
neer. Tills dnm Is 70 fact high and 881 feet long.
It w as originally constructed by state au
thorities, during the canal epoch, as a
roiervoir ter storing water, Ter use during
the drv season or beating. It is designed
te held a body e! vvater 00 feet deep, cev cr
ing about 000 acres or land, and containing,
at an average depth or 30 root, nearly 11,000
millions or gallons or water.
It was built mainly with rocks and raeed
with earth en its upper or peel slope, and
covered with a riprap or stones. About the
mlddle ofthe dam a cut stone, arched cul
vert was constructed In which n large dis dis
charge plpe was placed with connections
w itli a w oedou bulkhead. On the north
end an ample ev erfall has been cut through
the rock, 70 fret wide, te discharge surplus
w ater during rainy seasons. ,
After the disuse of this resorvelr, the
woeilcn bulkhead was burned down and
the dam neglected. The consepicnco vv as
that the water, under its full prcssure.w ith
no repairs te clam, found its vv ay through
the masonry of the culvert, mid the result
was the washing out of a triangular notch
erthcd,am, X) feet wide at the top and 40
reel deep. The resultant flood past Seuth
Perk and down the Conemaugh did Heme
damage, the extent or which I have bcen
unable te learn. Tlie break occurred dur
ing a time or low water in the streams,
w hlch very greatly modltled its action.
During the past season the Sportsmen's
association or Western Pennsylvania,
w hlch new owns this property, has put a
ferce at work te repair the breach In the
dam, se as te ralse the water te Its maxi
mum height or 00 rect. Tlie repair Terce
began by placing large rocks In the breach,
racing these with hemlock boughs and hay,
and covering the whele with earth and
shale. The facing of the earth is being
undo with carts, tlie material dumped
down a slope rrem the line or tlie top or
the dam, thus gravitating the eersest
materials te the lewest depths just the
opposite or the result demanded In this
case.
It did net appear te me that this vv erk
was being done In u tareful and substantial
manner, or with the care dcmaiided in u
large Htructure of tills kind.
Wlien this vv erk shall be completed te
the full section or the old dam the entire
embankment will contain -iS-V-Ml cubic
yards, or 310,01)1 gross tens.
The pressure of water 00 feet deep en
the slope or this dam Is 73,78'J tens. The
weight or the dam is, thciefbre, I i!-10 times
that ofthe pressure of tlie water against it.
It is evident, therefore, that the water
cannot overturn, or slide, the dam en
masse.
There appear te me tw e serious elements
of danger in this ilaiii : l'irst, tlie want or
a discharge, plpe te reduce or take tlie
water out or the dam wr needed repairs.
Second, the unsubstantial method of repair,
leaving a large leak which appears te be
cutting the new embaiikment.
As the water cannot be lowered, the
difficulty arises of reaching the somce or
the present ilostrucllve leaks. At present
there Is 40 feet or water In the dam. When
the ftill head of 00 feet is rcached It appears
te me te be only a question of tline until
the fermer cutting is repeated. Should
this break be made during a season or Heed
it is evidcut that considerable damage
would ensue along the line or the Cotiu Cetiu
maiigh. It is difficult te estimate how hew
disastrous this Heed would be, as Its force
would deK!iid en tlie sire or the breach In
the dam with promotional rapidity or
discharge. The stability or the dam can
eul v be assured by a thorough overhauling
of ihe present lining en the upper slope,
and the constitution or an ampin dlschaige
piK te rediice or rcmove the water te
make necessary repairs.
Very respectfully,
Jehn i-m,ie.v,
ioiieral Mining I'ngineer Cambria Iren Ce.
PiTrsnuue, Dccembcr'J, ltlbO.
Daniel J. Merrcll, general manager:
DkahSiii: I have had jour lnver with
lejiert of your engineer rer mjiiie days, and
they would have received attention sooner
but I have been sick. Knew lug your large
interest in the Conematigh valley, I am net
surprised that you feel some anxiety, and
shall therefore "briefly review your engi
neer's report.
In the, Hrst pl.ue he was net met by a
delegation of tlie Sportsmen's association
or Western Pennsylvania, nor de they own
tlie property. It Is owned by the Seuth
l'erk I 'I shim; and llunlint: club.
In the second pliue he Isw reug in saving
tint the (lam was originally built liialnlvef
stene ; eK.ii tlv thu rev erse being true. The
face en the lake was net liprappcd, but
coveted with a slope wall.
In the third place the large arched cul
vert did net contain a single pipe, but three
conduits, and, instead et terminating hi a
wooden bulkhead, wcre embraced within
the base of a wooden tower, which steed
out in the lake,oxtendingalev e the highest
water level, te protect reds from Ice and
drill, connoted with valves en the con
duits, bv which tlie flew of water was
regulated.
He is In error In s.ij lug the burning of
the wooden bulkhead was the primary
cause or the ilestruitien or the dam. Its
destruction by tire, whlle the dam steed,
was simply Impossible, and it steed uuny
j ears afterward, and only has been burnt
a row j ears. '1 lie dam w us destroyed by
the arcli culv ert giv lug w av about tlie i en

have avoided by making it solid through
out. He isgrelwij In error in sa.v lug that
it resulted in c-arrv iny aw ay a notch 'Ji feet

swept it clear te the bottom, cart) lug
everything befnre it. slojie wall, euibink

We put them in the notch, "but put inore

pesltlv ely deny that there are daugeieus
teaks in our new work. He makes thu
amount of water in our lake about 2,000,000
gallons mere than it really contains. H
says we have ample everfall, also mere
than four times the weight necessary te
resist the prcenitre It was te sustain. We
knew we have the first and six times the
latter. We consider his conclusions an te
our only safe ceurse of no uiore value than
his ether assertions. I submit herewith

you and your peeple are Innu danger rrem

Dkaii StK Your esteemed favor of the
2d Inst., w Ith accompanying report of your
engineer, Mr. N. M. McDowell, was duly
received and handed te our engineer, Mr.
Jehn Fulton, for consideration and report.
Mr. Fulton handed me, some time since,
his letter of the 13th, with the communica
tion marked " A " rrem Mr. A. Whitney,
engineer, te which he refers, and also a re
ixirt made te him by his assistant, Mr.
Walter A. Fellows, who had mere recently
examined the Seuth l'erk dam. Pressiire
of business and ubsence lrem home
has prevented my sooner writing
you. I nete your - criticism of Mr.
Fulton's former re-srt, and Judge that In
some of his statements he may have been
in error ; but think that his conclusions In
the main vv ere correct. We de net vv lsli te
put any obstructions in the way of jour
accomplishing jour object In the recon
struction or this dam; but we must pro pre
test against the erection or a dam at that
place, that will be a perpetual meiiace te
the liv es nnd preperly or these residing in
thli upper valley of tlie Conemaugh, from
Its insecure construction. In my Judgment
there should have been provided some
means bj' which the water would be let
out ofthe dam In case or trouble, and 1
think that you will And It necessarj- te
provide an outlet plpe or gate before an v
cuglneer would proneuueo the Jeb a sate
one. If this dam could be secure! j recon
structed witliH safe means of drawing eir
the water In case any weakness manifests
Itself, I should regard the accomplishment
of this work as a verj- desirable one, and
Ifsome arrangement could be undo with
jour association bj- which the store or
water in this resorvelr could be used In
time or great dreuth In the mountains,
this company would be w llllng te eo-eor-ato
with you In tlie work, and would con
tribute liberally towards making the dam
absolutely sare.

A Plan I'ei- lluyliig Ktermil I'cuce Prem
Corrupt stiitcHinen.
A facetious correspondent of the Kasteu
Jxncs eilers te tlie vverldan original plan
rer the preservation of pcicmiial peace. He
begins nj- asserting as a slmple fact fami
liar te every citizen that the largest proixir preixir proixir
tien oftlie legislation ofthe present d iy is
purchased with "spot" cash. "Take
Lngliind and Its Parliament, France with
Its Asseiublj-, Oermanj- with its llelilistng,
and various ether countries with their
rulers and their counsellers, and are thev
net dallv and every day, throughout theii
territorial limits, openly and publicly
i barged with corruption and that their
every uiove Is pild for vv ith a price?"
Take our own country; Is net everj'
state legisUtuie charged j'earby and truth
fully with corruption are net the most
itilnuileus laws passed and the most bonlll benlll
cent laws defeated bj'ithe iiKOorineiioj7
Take Congress our national legislature
and Is it net notorious that substantially all
its legislation Is made In the Interests el
speculators, monopolies and (orpenitlons
and the majority el the members bald ter
making the same 7 Jlew many bills In In
tieduccd ler purposes beneficial te our
1cople evir pass the lleusa and Scnale?"
laving established the pun hasahln quality
of statesmen te Ills own thorough satisfac
tion he unfolds the plan.
Such being the tendency of the exlstlug
age and generation, why shall we net
iitillu this condition of affairs te the ad
vantage ofthe people who bear the burthen
or all this corruption? Why net adept
the same tactics in prcserv lug tlie jioace of
the world by direct purchase of tlie ihtseiis
w he held the destinies or peace or war bj'
their vetes, Instead or securing poace by
Indirection, through the use of guns, and
forts, and ships and wholesale slaughter of
the men who ultimately have te 11 .'lit,
unwillingly, generally, the Inities which
hut-spur legislators liave imticieHs-irlly
brought upon us?
Tlie annual expense, of our national
government for aiiiiy navy and lortlllea lertlllea lortlllea
tiens Is about fOO.Oeil.OiK). i lilsdees net in-c-lude
the cost or the brigadiers, leltmcls
and rank and llle el the state t loops.
New te be prepared ler a posslble
struggle with Lugl.md, which sonic ill
disposed poisons are desirous or pics ipitat
lug upon us ancnt the lexllish oil Halifax,
or tliu nieiiliadden ou tlie Jersey 101st, we
subject ourselves te this enormous outlay
iriO,X)0,0(K) yearly and everv j ear.
New, suppose Congress should decide
net te niake this s,VJ,ei0,Oi)0 appropriation
fur a few j ours, but In Hen thereof should
yearly appropriate, say $10,000,000 te the
president's secret service fund. In two
j ears there would be ?JO,(K),oeu te the

Rut, we net keeping up our army and
our navj', Kiiglaiul would think no wcre

and the trouble ou the llshery (piestieli
might spring up and rcoillre settlement.
New w e submit It te the caiiileriind geed

this jji),0io,eoo at his command, w euld soeo-Mho

A Lively Johnstown Deg.
Frem I he lillsbug DlKpulvli.
Mr. Hampton Houghten, ofthe Penn
sylvania railroad, told me of mi Incident
that iss-urresl at Johnstown en Tuesday,
which Is worth repeating. The big dyna
mite explosion there in the afternoon or
that day, forced ojei the deer of one or the
vv rocked houses, releasing a large black
deg, which hud been Imprisoned ler near
ly (we weeks. He ut oiiie scampered oil'
te tlie hills, lint was pursued and cap
tured by two Isiys. A liv ely competition ter
ills possession as it rellu began at once.
One man bid 95, another 910 and another
925iill of which the youiigsters refused.
A Pittsburg man named Ruriisthcnoirercd
950, which was accepted and tlie deg was
turned ever te him. He was very thin, as
n result of Ills long rust, but seen demon
strated his ability and willingness toinake
up rer lest time.
The Werk at Johnstown.
The gourds at Camp Hustings. Johnstown,
near the Prespect Hill burial grounds,
reixirted last night that they were having
great trnuble'w ith dogs that are constantly
disturbing tlie dead interred thore. Over
100 dogs were driven Irein tlie place last
night and several of them klllad. The
hastily dug graves there are shallow. Four
bodies weie blown up in tlie wreckage
above the railroad bridge en Tuesday.
They are all horribly decomposed and can
not, ou aceeunt of the olleuslve odor, be
Identified.
