Fortune mad Heard Notteln of

A short time bfore the terrible flood
which almost wiped Johnstown out of ex
latenas Emil Eteine left Cambria City for
hla native town or Creenvllle, net far from
Htraatburg, In Alsace-Lerraine, te recnlve
a eemferuble fortune which he had in
herited from a relative. Eteine had been
working a a puddler at the Cambria Iren
werke for about two years previous te his
departure for the continent.
He left a family consisting of a wife and
five children behind him. When the law
suit had been settled In hla favor and he
had come Inte possession of the property,
which waa principally real estate left te
him, he put it up at public sale and re
ceived about t20,000 for it.
With New Yerk exchange for that aura
In his pocket he again embarked for thla
country about three weeka age, aa happy
and contented as a man well could be ac
customed te earning hla bread by the sweat
of hla brew, who sees a Ufa of compara

tended te go Inte some business in Johns
town. He reached Pittsburg In the forenoon,
and bearded the Johnstown accommoda
tion at 1:20 p. m., which took him te the
place where he had left these dearer than
all the money in the world. He relates the
rest of hla story as follews:
"When I get off at the Pennsylvania rail
road station I turned back te one of the
depet men and Inquired of him hew far I
had yet te go te Johnatewn, aa I had get
off at the wrong station, and hew seen the
train left for that town. The man looked
at me for a moment as though he thought
I was net quite right In my mind and
asked me wliether or net I could read the
sign en the station beuse. I looked up
and there It was plain enough, in large
white letters en a black ground. While I
looked at the sign In a dazed sort of a way,
another man, who had overheard the con
versation, stepped up te me and said : 'I
guess yeu're a stranger here, or have been
In Johnstown bofero the Heed. It's quite
changed new. I would net have known It
myself lr I had been away for six
months.' "
" Aa the man spoke I felt as If seme one
had punctured my heart With a aharp
knlfe and I fainted dead away. When con
sciousness roturned I was in the waiting
room of the station house and some
persons were rubbing ray temples wttli
vinegar and making me Inhale it. Then I
went out te find my wife and children,
but somethlng told me that they were dead.
" The part of Cambria City where steed

The Prison Full of Men, Women and
Children Suggestions or the
Charity Beard.
The following open letter was addressed
te Hen. W. F. Sadler, of Cumberland
county, who will bring the matter befere
the grand Jury in February :
Beaiiii or PimLieCiiAiiiTir.s, 1221 Chest
nut Btreet, Philadelphia, Dec 10, 1889.
Hen. Wilbur F. Sadler, presiding Judge of
Ninth district, Pa. Dear air: On the 10th
Inst. Dr. O'Neal and I paid our annual
official visit te the jail of Cumberland
county.
We would be derelict In our duty did we
net call your attention te the condition In
which we found the Jail.
The sheriff informed us that he held as
prisoners ten convicts, six awaiting trial,
and 175 tramps. The latter class are con
lined In the cells en the ground fleer (17 in
number), and in two cells en the upper
tier. They are allowed te use the cot rlder
which is common te both tiers of cells.
Each cell is IS feet long, eight feet wlde and
ten feet high. There are thus 175 prlsoners
confined In 19 cells, or an average of ever
nine te each cell. They are oemnosod of
men, women and cht'.dren. llale and
females, without guatds or attendants,
were promiscuously horded togethor. We
doubt if in the civilized worlds mere de
moralizing state of affairs could exlst. As
the wlnter advances it is likely te grew
dally worse, as the number will steadily
increase until the opening of the coming
spring.
The act of 1870 makes It the duty et the
custodian of any such person te provide
work for overy vagrant net disqualified by
sickness, age or casualty. The violation or
neglect el the previsions of this section Is
made a mlsdomeauor, puulshahle by flue
and lmprlsonment.
Tt Is violated and nesloetod. and the law
of the state epenly defied. It Is a valu
meckery te have moetlngs, as we new de,
held te pretest against eutrages en Siberian
convicts when, In our own midst, at our
very doers, such a condition of affairs
exists.
Surely the citizens of Cumberland county
will net be satisfied te allow this pest liole
te remain lenger under their very oyes, en
the main street of their principal town, a
disgrace te the civilization of the age.
We call your attoutien te this matter,
confidently believlng that you will lay the
whole subject bofero your grand jury, with
such Instructions as will secure an ubato ubate ubato
ment of the terrlble evil
With the highest respect,
Cadwaladeu Binni.u,
General agent and secretary beard of pub
lic charities.
I cordially unite in theabove recommen
dation. Maiii.en K. Diciunhen,
President beard of public charltle.
THK VAOHANT .AW OF 1870.
The first section of '.his law doflnes who
are vagrants,
The second section makes It the duty of
any constable or police offlcer te appre
hend and take all vagrants bofero a justlce
of the peace or magistrute, who shall ox ex ox
amine the parties se charged with vagrancy
and, found te be guilty, shall commit them
te labor en the county farm, or upon the
read, or shall commit them te any liouse
of correction, peer house or common Jail
In a term of net less than thirty days, nor
mere than six months as in the Judgment
of said magistrute bhull be deemed most
oxpedient.
The third section of said act provides that:
It shall be the duty of the custodians of any
such vagrant te make active efforts te pro
vide work for overy vagrant committed
under the act, and net disqualified by sick
ness, etc.
And whenever labor cannot be previded
in the place te which any vagrant is com
mitted, it shall be lawful for such custo
dian, and It is hereby declared te be the
duty, with the approval or the beard of
dlrectors,eversoors or commissioners of the
peer te contract wun tne proper auiiienuus
of the township, borough, city, county or
ethor persons te de any work or labor out eut out
sleo of the place of commitment ; and when
any vagrant Is committed under the provi previ
sions of this act te the custody of the super
visors, or stroet commissioner or overseers
of the peer of an v township, borough, city
or county, it sh.ill be thelr duty te provide
for him comfortable lodgings or quarters
either In a station house 01 In ether
building.
Fer years that county has been disgraced
by these worthless vagabonds. The cenn
stables are making a great deal of money,
while the committing magistrates net only
commit the tramps, but take them te the
county Jail and receive the 25 cents fee.
At the February term of the court It Is
Muted that seme prevision will be made,
through the efforts of Juilge S idler, te
change this condition of affairs.

TfIK GOOD WKATHKH.
It I'lHs the Town With a Crowd of Pec
pie Bent Upen Business.
The clear np of last evenlug seems te be
mere permanent than theso we have had
receutly, and te-day the weather Is about
as flne as could well be expected. The sun
canto out bright and early and the air Is
almost us warm as suinmnr. In fact the
only complaint Is that It is tee warm.
The change has had a wonderfully
geed effect upon business, which has
brightened up with the weather. The town
Is filled with peeple and the streets and
stores have been crewded all day. The
trains te the city wero all full te-day, and
the crowd that came off the ene from
Quurryville at 7:30 reminded ene of a big
holiday. Notwithstanding the terribly bed
reads a great many people dreve te town,
and in many places the streets are crewded
with vehicles of different kinds, while the
hotels are very full. The men with the
Christmas trees In Centre Square have been
doing it thiivlng trade, and these who
thought that they would be left, en account
of the bad weather, are sure thut the sun sun
shlue will help thorn out.
