:mOU A STAFF COBEESPOSDIirT.l
OHNSTOWN, July
28. A Dispatch re
porter who was on
duty at Johnstown
during the week suc
ceeding the disastrous
flood of Hay 31, ac
companied by a staff
artist, has been
charged with the task
of imparting accurate
information as to the
progress made in near
ly two months of re
lief work.
Like the thousands
of readers of The
Dispatch, who have
from day to day followed the graphic ac
counts of the progress of the task of restor
ing the ruined city to a semblance of its
former self, the reporter had imbibed the
idea, that
A VEST MASKED CONTRAST
would be presented in the appearance of the
city, as compared with the condition of af
fairs when the raging waters of the Cone
maugh had reluctantly withdrawn them
selves from a scene of devastation unpar
alleled in the history of this country. This
idea had been measurably strengthened by
the extremely favorable reports made in in
terviews with reporters of this paper by
members of the Pittsburg committee, and
also by Governor Beaver's commission.
It is not overstating the case to say that
the current impression among the thousands
of Pittsburgers who personally viewed the
Johnstown ruins during the ten days nr two
weeks succeeding the flood is that Johns
town has
RISEN FROM ITS RUINS.
It will be granted as a matter of course
that the roseate views of those who have
been in Johnstown day in and day out since

Commission.
the flood, and have seen the small improve
ments gradually rising, and the horrors of
the situation gradually diminishing, have
some foundation in fact But when one who
has carried a mental photograph of that
awful scene of ruin for two months, sud
denly returns and steps from the train to the
side of the Pennsylvania depot, where at one
glance what remains of the city can be seen,
the sensation is one of great surprise, and
recalls most forcibly Treasurer Thompson's
remark, quoted in these columns, that
"$10,000,000 would not restore the city.
ALMOST A SHOCK.
The impression was almost painful, almost
a shock. In every direction stretch the
same broad acres of debris that met the eye
in the first days after the flood. It is uni
versally admitted that the scene as a whole
baffled description, and, it cannot be said
that the contrast is so marked as to render
easier the task of word-painting the scene.
To be sure, the vista of devastation is
dotted by new roofs here and there. But so
few and far between are these evidences of
rebuilding industry that the isolation is ter
ribly overwhelming. In general terms, the
traces of the work of man are still grimly
overshadowed by the footprints of the storm.
Here and there can be seen a narrow ribbon
of fair ground running through the dr-ary
waste of debris. These are the streets which
have all been opened by the contractors.
But the territory they inclose is seemingly
untouched.
A NATURAL QUESTION.
Involuntarily one propounds the mental
query: "What has all the money accom
plished?" and this question cannot be an
swered by a cursory inspection nothing
but a minute and painstaking tour of the
ruined district can at all satisfactorily con
vey to one's mind an adequate idea of the
results of the expenditure, and the conclu
sion which comes with irresistible force is

Several weeks.since, when General Hast

is on record as having said that the town

that it had only a slight foundation in fact,
for whole square blocks by the dozen yet
remain covered from three to ten feet deep
with every variety of rubbish. Or it is
barely possible that acres of Johnstown's
business and dwelling honses were built
without cellars. In short, it is a reasonably
safe conclusion that a square half mile of
the heart of Johnstown has not even been
disturbed by those in charge of the business
of clearing up the wreck.
But it mast be conceded that in clearing

has been removed. The streets caught the
bulk of the floating debris, both from the
original onset of the flood and the subse
quent backwater from the stone bridge,
for the simple reason that the rushing
waters took the streets, especially those lined
with substantial brick stores, as a natural
waterway offering no obstruction to the cur
rent. Main street was thus jammed with
debris, as were a few other steeets. But
those thoroughfares closer to the direct cur
rent of the flood were obliterated, being cov
ered by sand, bricks and earth, to the depth
of from three to five feet The task of re-

that outside of the business block on the

city, that used to rejoice fn the appellation
of "The Park," and some scattered stores

commission, and a very useful and valuable
addition, just meeting the wants of the

or in course of erection by firms or individ
uals. Last, but by no means least, are the

all over town, in which the saloon element
does business.
Taken as a whole, the flimsy character of
the buildings, the suggestive heaps of beer
kegs, the square-shouldered barkeepers, the
gang of hulking ruffians standing abont the
doorways, and the brawling in progress in
the illy-lighted interior, where a gummy
plank fulfils the double purpose of a sup
port for the drink and drinkers, this ele

While upon this subject, it may be as well
to state that a sort of reign of terror begins
at nightfall. Women and children some

fear of passing through the streets to reach

some foundation in fact, as the ruffians have
been gunned for on several occasions by
angry relatives of women insulted upon the
streets.
Beturnlng to the matter of actual work
done, a detailed tour of the wrecked district
was determined upon as the best, and, in
fact, the only method of- arriving at an in
telligent estimate of the Work accomplished
in the p ast two months.
A BIBDSETE VIEW.
Crossing the Conemaugh on the rude
wagon bridge which offers the only means of
ingress or egress from the Pennsylvania
depot, a few hundred feet brings one to
Washington street, which parallels the
Cambria offices, the company stores and the
Baltimore and Ohio depot. From the bridge
to the street both sides of the way are lined
with shanties, from which every sort of arti
cle is hawked. Washington street rejoiced
in 23 saloons before the flood, and has now-
WSS5rs sliS; JSS
the proud distinction of possessing a series
of buildings, each of which is a saloon..
Passing the Cambria offices it is noted
with surprise that very little work has been
done in fixing up those buildings. The
mass of debris which crushed in one side of
the company stores of Morell & Co. has been
partially removed, and the foundations lay
bare awaiting rebuilding.
SCENES OF CBEAT BUIN.
There is no further point of interest until
the Baltimore and Ohio depot is reached.
On the Conemaugh side of "Washington
street some railroad tracks have been laid as
sidings. Otherwise this vast expanse, from
the wagon bridge up toward Conemaugh as
far as the eye can reach, remains untouched,
just as it was after the flood. There is a
small cluster of new bouses in the rear of
the Baltimore and Ohio depot, and a fer
tents show their peaked roofs further up the
valley.
A -WASTE OF CAPITAL.
The Dispatch representative had been
looking diligently for some indication of
the Chicago portable
houses, locally styled
"boomer houses," but
had not seen any in
dication of them
until a visit was paid
to the rear of the
.jl depot There stood
one large and one
small "boomer,"

the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio for
fully one-third of a mile were sections of
the houses piled upon the ground. There .

must have been fully 300 houses lying there
rotting.
This state of affairs called for some in
aulry. The master carpenter of the Johns
town commission, whose office stantls'upoa-
the opposite corner to the Baltimore and
Ohio depot, informed the reporter that 127
of the houses had been erected up to date.
"Where?"
"Oh! all around. On the hillsides."
"How many are lying on the ground?"
"Oh, I couldn't say just how many. The
boomer houses aren't very popular."
BETTER THAN TnE BOOMERS.
A very intelligent young man who came
along volunteered some information. The
"boomer houses," either large or small, only
contained one room. When first brought to
Johnstown the large honses were sold to
citizens at $250 and the small at $100, but
when they proved a drug in the market, the
price fell to 5150 and $90. Had any been
given away? Not that he knew of. Any
one who wanted a "boomer house" had to
pay for it out of the
amount allowed by
the Governor's Com
mission. This young man
pointed to a rather' J
nice looking two-story
building of wood near
by, and said that it
was a sample of the
kind of house that

he had no doubt that the "boomer houses"
would rot before ther were used. He
thought they would make good wash-houses,

( So, after a glance at the capital going to
waste the reporter moved on. It may be
stated tent no subsequent investigation
brought to light anything like "127" of the
"boomer houses." Bight adjoining theBal
timore and Ohio depot is the new Mansion
House under construction, the largest new
building In the towp. It occupies the old
site, and will soo be orfcn for',theaccommo

James B. Garfield, the favorite son of

He is now being talked of as a candidate

Cleveland, July 28. Jim Garfield, as
the late President used to call his favorite

not handicap him on any side.

I ' -WHEN JIM WAS A BOY. 4
About 20 years ago President Gerfield,,
then Representative of the old Nineteenth
district in Congress, resided in Hiram, and
on the adjournment of Congress used to
return there with his family. Jim and
Hal, the two young lawyers, were
then small boys. Jim was about
as mischievous as boys ever
are, almost the exact counterpart In this re
spect of what his father had been'atthe
same age. Hal, or Harry, as he has since
been called, was of a decidedly sedate
nature and easily believed almost anything
which his younger brother would tell him.
Young James K. Garfield has never lost
his residence in the old Nineteeni-h district
He lives with his mother at the homestead
in Mentor, and goes back and forth every
day on the train. He is beginning to take
some interest in politics down there, and it
will be very strange, if he continues to re
side there, if he is not sooner or later sent to
Congress. Hon. Ezra B. Taylor, who now
represents the district, is quite well along in
years. He succeeded General Garfield in
1881, and was eleeted last fall for the fifth
time.
A PROMINENT DISTRICT.
The Nineteenth district takes pride in re
turning the same mau over and over, and in
this way has always been prominent in the
councils of the nation. It has only had five
Bepublicans since its organization as a dis
trict, viz: Elisha 'Whittlesey, Joshua B.
Giddings, John Hutchins, James A. Gar
field and Ezra B. Taylor.
It is quite probable that the future career
of young James Garfield may lie in the
same line as that of his father. The alliance
he is about to make will be a strong one
socially, politically and in a business way.

Stbeatoe, III., Jnly 2& The riotous
proceedings' of the striking coal miners at
Kangley, near this city, last night has
caused forebodings of further trouble. It
was the Kangley miners who, at the time
of the trouble at No. 3 shalt here a
few weeks ago, marched in solid phalanx,
100 strong, and defied the sheriffs of
two counties and 50 deputies, and unon dif
ferent occasions since that time the Kangley
men have been out, bent on mischief. Sat
urday night, headed by 150 women, the
whole mining population ol the town, aside
from the families of the 40 or 50 men at
work, marched to the shaft of the Star Coal
Company, and with muskets loaded with
buckshot and salt, and with revolvers, clubs
and stones, defied the miners from below to
come to the mouth of the pit
Then three men climbed up the ladders,
but they were roughly handled, and the
others were afraid to come. up. For more
than two hours the mob held full sway, and
but for the fact that a blinding storm came
up, the rain falling and the liehtning flash
ing with unabated fury, the frightened
miners might have suffered a hard fate.
Deputy Sheriff Hugh Hall, who went from
this city to disperse the mob, could do
nothing to quell the excitement, and
but for the storm the worst mizht have
happened, for the 300 people were thirsting
for blood, which would certainly have been
shed had they not been driven away by the
rain. Kangley is comparatively without
police protection and the mob was therefore
enabled to organize without exciting much
suspicion.
It is feared that Monday they will carry
out their threats to injure the men and de
stroy the property of those who will not join
them in the strikes. Sheriff Morrissey, of
yuawa, witn Hugh .Hall and other depu
ties, are on the ground prepared for any
thing that may come up, but the strikers
are determined that these 40 men shall cease
work, and as they are a reckless set of for
eigners, there is likely to be trouble.

ISFKCIAI. TZLZGSAV TO THK DISPATCH. 1
Bismarck, N. D., July 28. The re
fusal of Hon. John Miller to allow his name
to' be used in connection with the Governor
ship has changed the political calculations
of the various party leaders. Miller has
been looked to by everybody as a compro
mise candidate between Allen and Pancher.
The best Bepnblicans have felt that the
nomination would be a happy termination
of convention difficulties.
General Allen's chief danger arises from
the avowed determination of the alliance to
secure the nomination of farmers for Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor. It is sup
posed that F. B. Fancher, President of the
Constitutional Convention, will receive the
support of most of the alliance delegates in
the State convention. The farmers are not
opposed to General Allen except as his can
didacy interferes "with the plans above
mentioned. Personally he is unobjection
able. There is some personal hostility between
Fancher and Allen, which adds spice to the
political game without endangering the in
terest of the party. The sharp canvass in
behalf of these two gentlemen promises to
divide the convention abont evenly, and a
deadlock is possible, which might result in
defeating both..
It is apparent that "Miller's withdrawal
has strengthened Allen, but at the same
time it has caused the Fancher faction to
redouble their efforts. While there are 40
counties in the State, 8 of them have dele
gates enough to nominate. That the best
possible canvass is being made on both sides
there is no room to doubt, and while Gen
eral Allen believes that his success is almost
certain since Miller's withdrawal, Mr.
Fancher's friends are equally confident

The police of Cincinnati made a vigorous
effort to reform the city yesterday. All sa

large number of arrests were made. Several
disturbances resulted.
Cincinnati, July 28. To-day has been
a regular field day between the saloon keep
ers and the police. Ot the 212 saloonists
that met at Turner Hall last week all, with
the exception of abont 40, tried to keep
open. In consequence there were about 150
arrests. The police had orders to re-arrest
all who attempted to keep open, but there
were not more than 30 cases of this kind.
By far the greater part ol the saloons
were, to all appearances, closed. In the
suburbs there was comparatively little
trouble, as the police had warned the sa
loonists on Saturday night not to keep open
to-day. Most of the arrests were made down
town and over the Bhlne.
only soft dblnks.
The saloonist Eichler, who has made
himself famous by his vigorous resistance
of the Owen law, kept his saloon open, sell
ing only "soft" drinks, such as lemonade,
mineral water, etc., and was not arrested.
Druggists, however, were not permitted to
sell soda water, lemonade or cigars.
Over the Bbine two or three-riots took
place this afternoon. At Fifteenth and
V ive streets, about 4 o'clock this afternoon,
the police undertook to arrest a man for dis
orderly conduct A crowd of 1,600, com
posed chiefly of hoodlums that infest that
neighborhood, quickly gathered and the cry
ol "Mob the police" was raised. The mob
set upon the police with clubs and fists and
one policeman was badly beaten, his scalp
being cut, but he was not seriously injured.
About a dozen policemen kept the crowd
back with their clubs, while an officer ar
rested the man.
On the corner of Walnut and Twelfth
street, at Warwinger's saloon, an unsuc
cessful attempt to resist the police was
made. This saloon was always considered
a rendezvous for Anarchists and Socialists
and is looked on as a dangerous place.
Three reporters who went over the Rhine
this evening to look up matters had quite
an adventure.
SUNNING THE GAUNTLET.
They were suspected of being spies and the
crowd demanded that they give an account
of themselves. Two of them gave satisfac
tory reasons, but the third was obliged to
turn and run down Vine street, followed by
the mob, and he only escaped serious injury
by being rescued by the police.
Throughout the city the work of the
police has been admirable. The entire
force of the city is on duty. Most of these,
however, are hed in reserve At the various
station houses in case of an outbreak.
The question of whether the Sun
day closing law is to be obeyed
or not is becoming one of universal
interest People arc taking one side or the
other, but to the credit of tbe !city be it said
that a great many, even the saloon keepers,
are in favor of the enforcement of the law,
and tbe greatest indignation exists on ac
count of the riotous proceeding of the
hoodlums.
More saloons have been closed to-day
than on any previous Sunday since the at
tempt was first made to enforce the law.
Kissell's and two other large concert halls
have the lights turned on, bnt the front
part is closed and there are no concerts any
where In the city.
BEADY FOB ARREST.
All the saloon keepers who were arrested
gave bail for their appearance. There was
a pre-arrangement by those saloon keepers
who had agreed to remain open to-day, so
that those who were arrested had no
trouble in getting bail. At the Bremen
street police station, which is in the center
of the Over-thc-Khine district, a crowd of
from 200 to 300 hung about all day, and
after the arrest at Vine and Fifteenth streets
their number increased to fully 1,500 per
sons. Chief of Police Phil Deitsch remained
at his headquarters till midnight The Po
lice Commissioners were all within tele
phone call, and from time to time received
his reports on the situation.
The number in favor of Sunday closing
are constantly increasing, and the riotous
proceedings of to-day have made many ac
cessions to the law-abiding class. The major
ity of the saloon keepers openly favor not
only the enforcement of the law to-day. but
are also in favor of Sunday closing. Mem
beis of the Saloon Keepers' Association are
expressing their disgust with the faction
which has brought their association into
disrepute. At 11 o'ejock to-night Vine
street has been pretty well cleared, and that
without serious resistance. The whole city
is now quiet and no more trouble is ex
pected. AT KANSAS CITY. .
The Police Commissioners Finally Succeed
In Closing Up Nearly All the Saloons
on Sunday Just Outside the
Limits a Big Business
Was Done All Day.
Kansas City, July 28. The Police
Commissioners are finding it very difficult
to enforce the Sunday law. Arrests were
first made under the old city ordinance,
but it was found to be unconstitu
tional. Then a later city ordinance
was tried, but Police Judge Boland,
who has jurisdiction over such cases, made
the penalty only nominal. Last Sunday
arrests were made under the Downing law,
which was intended to be very severe. It
fixes the penalty at revocation of the license
and a fine of any amount not exceeding $500.
The Judge of the Circuit Court is the
only authority who can revoke a license
under that law, andfenother State law makes
it necessary that all cases where the prisoner
has been arrested by tbe municipal police
be taken 'to the City Police Judge, who,
that he might have jurisdiction over State
cases, was made justice of the peace ex
officio. But the Police Judge Boland can
not take away a licence uniler the Down
ing law, and he saw fit to place the
fines as low as $1 and costs. Tbe Police,
Commissioners were at a loss to know what'
to do alter they had found three laws inef
fective, until they stumbled upon a city or
dinance which is exactly like the Downing
law, with the exception that it gives the Po
lice Judge the power and makes it obligatory
upon him to revoke the license where the
accused Is lound guilty.
Word was given out last night that ar
rests would be made to-day under the lat
ter crdinance. The severe penalty prescribed
in the ordinance hadits effect and there were
but few cared to take the chances of being
obliged to suffer it The down town saloons
were all closed. In the outlying precincts
the police found seven who disregarded tbe
law and arrested them. The parks and re
sorts just out of the city limits did a thriv
ing business. Ther were about the only
places where any beverage could be bought I
more stimulating than temperance drinks,
and it was there that thousands went to in
dulge their appetites.

in their methods of procedure, that resort
win see iuu oeiore tne season is over, aueir
object is apparently to drive certain saloon
keepers out of Bar Harbor and allow
certain others to remain and sell all
the liquor they please. The former are those
who keep tbe commoner class of saloons,
while the latter are the hotel proprietors
and the keepers of a few gilt edge restau
rants who furnish drinks to the tourist
trade.
Certain saloon keepers of the tabooed class
have been closely watched by the Law, and
Order people, arrested, tried, "fined, and then
ordered to get off Mt Desert Island alto
gether and for all time. The evicted
saloon keepers, who declare that they
are going to have everybody treated
alike, have engaged eminent
counsel and taken other measures to shnt
up the favored liquor dealers, while for the
hotel keepers, shop and stable keepers, and
the people in general of the town who sup
port the Law and Order League, they have
dug up a section of the blue "laws which is
calculated to make a deserted village of the
resort in no time. Here are a couple of
samples:

Chelsea,Mass., July 28. Ayearago G.
W. White, a jeweler in this city, indulged
in a little "mashing," just for fun, and the
result has been two of the worst thrashings
he has ever had. His "mash" was the
pretty daughter of Edgar W. Wyman. She
told her father of White's attention, and
the irate parent gave the masher a severe
flogging. That was a year ago. To-day
White swore out a warrant for Mr. Wy
man's arrest on account of that old assault
and the papers were served, Mr. Wyman
being immediately released on bail.
But White's triumph was short lived.
During the year Miss Wyman married
George Foils, and when the latter heard of
bis father-in-law's arrest and all the circum
stances in the case, he hunted out the man
who tried to mash his prospective bride, and
settled the old score by giving him auother
thrashing. He, too, was arrested, and
White will have to faceioth men in court
to-morrow.

Campbell, N. Y., July 28. Charles
Daniels, a 14-year-old boy, living with his
parents about two miles from here, is sup
posed to have shotand killed his 10-year-old
brother on Thursday. The two boys were
alone at home. On the return of his parents
the boy said that he had Iward a shot from
the direction of the woods, and saw his
brother fall dead from the fence on which he
was sitting.
As the supposed murderer has always
been of a vicious disposition, and varied h'is
story in many ways, he is not believed,
especially as the autopsy at the Coroner's
inquest revealed tbe fact that the bullet lay
34 inches deep in the head, and was a 22
caliber revolver bullet. The depth of the
wound and the nature of the bullet show
that the shot could not have been a stray
one from a hunter's rifle. The boy has been
held to await the action of the grand jury.

heavily grain laden, and the rapid current
rendered1 it unmanageable. At Twenty

road bridge was open and the
steam barge in the west draw was unload
ing coal. Two tugs endeavored to get -the
propeller through the east draw, but the
current swung the big boat around until her
stern was grinding against the dock on one
side of the river and her nose was poking the
bridge abutment on the other. There she '
stuck crosswise of the river, her side resting
against the bridge piling. The water,
dammed by the steamer, was at least two feet
deeper above the boat than below it The
Boston remained in that position until
5 o'clock this afternoon, when she was
finally pulled around by two railroad en--gines,
