atolCALLT CHANGED,
According to Plans Now Progressing
at Davis Island Dam.
KEW WICKETS, PIER AND SPAN.
A Coffer Dam in Which Johnstown Bodies
May Tnrn Up Sunday.
POSSIBILITY OP LOW WATER SOON
Considerable uneasiness has prevailed
anions rivermcn for the past few days in re
gard to the reported unsatisfactory condition
of affairs at the Davis Island dam. It was
considered advisable, owing to the repeated
blockades occasioned by Boating timber and
other debris, to make several important
alterations in the dam's constrnction this
season. This necessitated the building of a
coffer dam, which had almost been com
pleted, when the rising water, occasioned by
the Johnstown flood, swept away the entire
lower portion, entailing a loss of upward of
1,000, and delaying the more important
work of repairs.
A force of C3 men are now at work restor
ing the wrecked portion, and expect to com
plete it by next Saturday. On Sunday the
inclosnre will be pumped out and work
upon the improvements at once be resumed.
It is proposed to remove 13 wickets from the
center of the dam, and substitute what is
known as the "bear trap" chute, which is
composed of two heavy leaves, something on
the plan of a slnice door.
nOW IT WILL OPERATE.
"When the other portion of the dam is ele
vated the increased pressure of the water
passing beneath the leaves will cause them
to rise to the proper position, and join at
the top like the letter A. "When the dam
is lowered, and the pressure consequently
exhausted, their own weight will cause
them to fall to the river bottom. It is con
fidently expected by Mr. "William Martin,
resident engineer at the works, that this
will do away with many of the difficulties
formerly experienced in keeping the dam in
proper condition. It will also remove a
great strain from the wickeis, thereby ren
dering continual repairs unnecessary.
A new stone p'er will be constructed and
the old one on the Davis Island side ex
tended. "When completed the old pier near
the center of the river will be removed a
most decided improvement making the
new span 760 feet Mr. Martin expects to
have the alterations completed in about
four weeks, when the dam will be raised.
It is proposed by tue Government to build
another dam across the channel between
Davis and Neville islands, work upon
which has already commenced. During the
low water stage a large amount of water is
lost in the upper channel, which, by the
dam, will be forced into the main, thereby
affording great relief to the lock.
AN INSTRUCTIVE INTERVIEW.
In reply to a question as to the immediate
danger of very low water Mr. Martin said:
I do expect any trouble from low water at
present; bat of course I cannot say we won't
have it. This is the season of the year to ex
pect lowering rivers, and It may come every
day. As you see, we are working with all pos
sible speed to complete repairs, and confidently
hope to do so before there is any urgent need
lor the dam. More damage lias been wrought
by the rivers this year than for many years
Srevious. We have lost three different coffer
ams since last September. A contractor at
work on the connty bridge, a short distance be
low here, has been trying for the past 14
months to lay a foundation for his piers. His
work has been washed away a dozen times. I
was talking to a United States engineer in
charge of the works on the Mnskingnm river
the other day, and he informed me that bis
works had been cleared out from ZanesvUle to
Marietta.
So it has been all over the country. At the
time of the Johnstown flood the water, for
a while, rose at the rate of 21 inches an hour.
We did not try to save anything; we cut the
belts on the engine and ran. I am reriously
afraid that when e pump out the water inside
the cofferdam, we shall find one or more bodies
of the flood victims, but hope not.
A pipe has been laid connecting the boats
at the works with the main on Davis Island,
and the engines are now run by natural gas.
It Woi a Joke.
K. H. Lindsay arrived home yesterday
from Philadelphia. He denies the report
that Quay has caused his appointment to
the port collectorship. He explains that
the newspaper item originated from a joke
cracked at his expense by Philadelphia
politicians while he was with them.

IT HAS EEAPPEAREb.
Astronomer Uraihear Chronicles the Return
I the Son Spat After 13 Dart Its Fresh
Peculiarities Noted.
John A. Brashearhas made some interest
ing observations, at least to astronomers, of
the disappearance and reappearance of the
the sun's spots. To a DISPATCH reporter
yesterday he said:
"The sun spot which created so much in
terest three weeks ago has reappeared, and
is now very near the central meridian of the
sun, i. e., with reference to the earth. It
has changed a great deal, and is what is
' usually termed a quiescent spot, although
there were several bridges or tongues of
flames extending from the northern side of
the spot when observed yesterdav morning.
The spot is or quite large 'dimensions, and
was visible with an opera glass on the even
ing of the 16th, as observations were pur
posely made to see it it 'could be seen with
an opera glass.
"Beside the great sun spot, another group
has formed preceding it This is composed
ot a number of smaller spots, but is really
distributed over a greater area than the
larger spot Approximate measurements of
the great spot make it about 35,000 miles in
diameter, or 300,000,000 square miles in
area. As this is one ot the years of the
minimum sun spots, so large a spot usually
creates considerable interest. However,
dnring the minimum sun spot period there
are from time to time spots occuring on the
sun, so that to astronomers this -js no sur
prise. Were it more active we might no
tice some electrical results, as has been no
ticed frequently when large active spots
were on the sun, but when last ob
served this spot was rather docile,
and there is little fear of any dire
results coming to earthly inhabitants from
it. The great spot or 1885 was immensely
larger than this one, and, there have been
many recorded much larger and more in
teresting in structure, but many telescopes
have 'studied this spot, perhaps, because of
the long absence ot any of so large a size.
Dnring the eclipse of the sun, on the 1st of
Januarv of this year, the sun was carefully
scanned in the clear skv of Nevada, but not
a spot of the smallest kind could be seen
upon its surface, and on a number of oc
casions since the sun has been observed
without finding a single spot During the
time of maxima, i. e., when sun spots are
most' frequent, it is more" rare to find the sun
spotless than it is now."
GOING INTO DETAILS.

bunemeut of the Jounatowq Money.
Colonel Gray, of this city, who nad charge
of the State accounting department at
Johnstown, has completed his report of the

$218,935 is accounted for on the State books.
Of this amount $174,761 is credited to .the
State department and $74,173 to the relief
fund. A bill from Hamilton, Lemmon,
Arnold & Co. for $10,542 for coffins is not
included in the statement, as it is not yet
decided whether it should be paid by the
State or from the relief fund. Colonel
Gray nimself thinks it should come from
the relief fund.
In the same period, according to Colonel
Gray's accounts, expenditure by different
departments were as follows:
Board of Health, 87,220, all from the Btate
fund; department of public safety, $178
irom tne state, and sutxi rrom the re

department,State fund, 91,219: Quartermaster's
department, Bute fund. $157,111: relief, $36,133;
commissary department relief fund, 29,337.
The total amount shown by Colonel Qray's
cash book Is $246,164. The contractor's commis
sary department reported $2,197, and the Four
teenth Regiment commissary, $693 expended.
This makes up the grand total of $248,935.
When the books were closed on July 8 there
was a balance of $6,650 43 still on hand. Since
then bills amounting to 55,000 have been paid,
leaving a balance of over $1,000 in Colonel
Gray's hands at present
The Pittsburg Belief Committee sold the

The Scotch Irish of America to Meet

A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO THE CITY.
The Locality in Which the Sturdy fiace
Has Best Developed.
WHAT-HISTOEr SAIS OP 0UB PIONEERS
A great convention is to be held in Pitts
burg in the spring of next year probably
the third Wednesday in May. Eev. I. N.
Hays, D.D., of Allegheny, has been in cor
resjxndence with regard thereto, with Mr.
George Macloskie, of Asbury Park, K. J.,
of the Executive Committee of the Scotch
Irish Congress, who writes an unofficial
recommendation to that effect The doctor's
invitation to hold this great congress
in Pittsburg next year was, by Mr. Maclos
kie, laid before the Executive Committee
at its recent meeting in New York, and
that committee instructed Secretary Floyd
to acknowledge, with thanks, the invitation,
and accept it very cordially. They also de"
cided that he first Wednesday in May next
would be a suitable date for the meeting.
In concluding a letter to Dr. Hays on the
subject, Mr. Macloskie says:
This unofficial communication on the sub
ject which 1 send in reply to your kind letter
tome, is written by the advice of the com
mittee; so that if yon deem this proper, you
may send to the newspapers a report to the
effect that it is decided to hold the next session
of the B cotch-Irish Congress in your city tjie
best placo in America for such a gathering
and 1 trust we shall have a very enthusiastic
convention.
history's high teibute.
In a historical work entitled "Irish and
Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania,"
tnere is much to prove that, of all the early
immigrants who came to help make up this
Commonwealth, neither Dntch, English,
Frenca nor German could surpass the good
old Scotch and Irish citizens of Pennsylva-'
nia. This book well says:
The great district ot Pennsylvania, for the
development of the Scotch Irish character, in
its enemies, enterprise, religious and moral
principles, as well as educational tendencies
and usefulness, was Southwestern 'Pennsyl
vania. The first settlements by the whites in
Pennsylvania, westof the Allegheny moun tains,
on lands bordering on the Ohio, Monon
gahela, Youghiogbeny, and Allegheny
rivers and their tributaries, were shortly
before and after Braddock's defeat in 1755
These were chiefly under grants or permits
from the Government'or authorities of the
colony ot Virginia, which claimed the country
on these waters, embracing the locality of
Pittsburg, then calledFortDuquesne, occupied
bv a French garrison.
The settlers in the neighborhood of Fort Pitt,
by the permission of George Croghan, Super
intendent of Indian Affairs, and those who had
settled on the main roads leading "across the
mountains to Fort Pitt, by permits from the
commanders and other officers of the army, for
the convenience of the army. Its reinforcements
and supplies, were exempt from the penalties
of the law and the requisitions of tho public
magistrates.
The first Presbytery organized In Western
Pennsylvania was in September, 17SL by the
Rev. Messrs. John McMillan. Jam pa Power
and Thaddeus Dod, with their elders: the Bev.
Joseph Smith being absent It must be ad
mitted by every candid inquirer that the debt
of gratitude owing by the Western country to'
the four missionary pioneers of Southwestern
Pennsylvania, was an immense one, which we
at this distant day are unable to com
pute. IBON BROUGHT IN "WAGONS.
The merchandise of these early settlers, their
groceries, iron and salt were brought'across
the mountains on pack horses from Chambers
burg, Hagerstown or Winchester. The first
wagon. that passed over ibis barrier of mount
ain ranges to the western settlements was'in
17S9. from Hagerstown to Brownsville. It was
drawn by four horses, carrying 2,000 pounds,
and was near a month on the road of about 130
miles. The town of Pittsburg was laid ont in
17S4. by agents of the old Proprietary
family, on a reserved manor; yet
its inhabitants had to attend their courts at
Greensburg, nntil 1788, when Allegheny county
was erected. With all its disadvantages and
privations, the Western district filled up rap
idly, with industrious, enterprising, resolute
and intelligent inhabitants, who were not de
terred by such obstacles, and who were willing
to risk their fortunes in this land ot promise,
though forbidding in many respects. The de
scendants of the Irish anti Scotch, in whatever
district they may have cast their lot and
fixed their stakes, are among the most promi
nent virtuous, religious, active, useful, indus
trious and enterprising of the community. They
have proved by their laith and works that they
are not of Ignoble blood and descent, nor below
any class of citizens of this land, with whom
they may be compared in their principles, vir
tuous habits and public usefulness, or in those
of their ancestors.
It behooves the men of Pennsylvania who
have State pride and emulation, and appreciate
her prosperity and creatness, as well as the
labors, sacrifices and services of ancestors, who
did so much to lay the foundation of that
prosperity and greatness, to stand by her own
men, and manifest for their memory the great
reverence which they so eminently deserve.
