scuibled at the B. A O. ntaiioii when tho
!odics of the two executed men arrived j
from Somerset last evening, was little
less than that which greeted William Jen
nings Bryan when he paused for a few
moments at the Pennsylvania station in
the campaign of says Wednesday's
Johnstown Tribune. Kvery foot of nana
on tho long platform was jammed, and
fences, sheds and box cjtrs in the vicinity
were swarming with humanity. The
crowd was made up largely of boys
many of whom made themselves a nui
sance to the passengers on the train.
All the crowd saw was t .vo plain wood
en boxes being quickly takeu from the
baggage car aud put into the hearse of
Undertaker John Pendry, w hich was in
waiting. The bodies were quickly taken
to Mr. Pendry's establishment on Main
st re t, followed by a large part of the as
semblage at the station, who swarmed
across the Park and stood in front of the
building. .There the coftins furnished by
the Somerset county authorities were ex
changed for others which had been
trimmed by tho undertaker to receive the
bodies.
Mr. Peudry began admitting the crowd
to view the bodies, but they became bois
terous and broke a glass in the door of
his office, whereuiion he shut them ouL
At about 9 o'clock the remains were
Hken to tha home of the parents, in West
Taylor township, where another crowd of
probably three or four hundred people
iiad been awaiting their arrival for over
au hour. Many of this mass of poople,
too, were more anxious than polite, and
guards had to be stationed to prevent
them from pressing in tix great numbers
upon the high porch of the building,
which, being old ami never very strong
at best, was in danger of giving way.
When the corpses had been tukeu inside
the coffins were opened and the crowd ad
mitted iu fours. This required some time
aud it was well into the night when all
hi-.d seen the bodic. A number of friends
of the family remained until this morn
ing. The Kev. J. S. Hayes, pastor of tho
Morrt Uvillo United Brethren Church, ai
2 o'clock Thursday afternoon conducted
the funeral services over the remains of
James and John Koddy, executed at Som

Tho bodies were conveyed in two
hearses from the home of the men's par
cuts in Prosser's Hollow to Sandyvale
Cemetery, where they were placed side

Tba Startling Cost of War.
Philadelphia Time.
Few outside of militanr. naval, anil
other official circles, have any Just, con- j
ceptiou of the appalling cost of modern ,
warfare, especially when large naval op- j
e rat ions are involved. Our Civil War
cost the Nation a!out four millions per
diy during (he last year of the conflict.
but ue had a million iiitn in the Army
and Navy, tr nearly ten timej as many
a will be employed in tho present
with Spain, and our money was lepreci-
aled an average of forty per cent.
The cost of a first-class modern war
vessel is 4,000.1X10 in round numbers, but
tho Mist of equipping aud using such a
vessel iu warfare surpasses all general
calculations. A single twelve-inch gun
costs about fcVJ.OOO when placed on the
ship ready for action. Tho maximum
capacity of this immense war engine is
eighty shots; the minimnm thirty, It is
not safe to count on these guns firing
more than fifty rounds. The intense heat
and strain are likely to make the gun use
less any time after thirty to eighty rounds
are fired from it, after which it is valua
blu only as old steel. Tbe cost in wear
and tear in firing these guns may be safely
est i mated at fl.OUO for every discharge.
In addition to the cost of f 1000 forevory
round fired from these guus in wear and
tear, the powder and steel-pointed mis
sile with which the gun is loaded cost the
Government f 1,200 every time the gun is
fired. It is a safe estimate to s.-.y that ev
ery time a twelve-inch gun is tired in
war the cost is about f2,ot0.
Our war vessels and cruisers are each
supplied with torpedoes and pneumatic
tubes from which to discharge them
against an enemy. They are effective at
about eight hundred yards, and the tor
pedo with which the airgun is charged is
one of the most delicate aud complicated
machines of modern times. It is ton
structed with a revolving attachment at
the rear, not only to guide it on its deadly
mission through the water, but to accel
erate its movement, and it is exploded
by concussion. Oue of these torpedoos
striking the biggest ship in any navy
would entirely destroy the vessel. Thee
torpedoes cost ?2,.VX) each. '
The cost of ammunition for our land
forces has also been increased probably
tenfohL One pound of lead costing ouly
few cents, would make sixteen cart
ridges for the rifle used in our Civil War.
To-day the cartridges used by our Infant
ry cost little if any less than ten cents
each. AVith a modern gun these little
missiles carry three miles, aud at a range
of a mile they will go clear through three
men, and probably tuoro if they are not
too greatly olstructed by boring clean
holes through bone of the human anat
omy. I hey are much lighter than tho
old cartridge, and the soldier will carry
mo hundred rounds w ith the same ease
that tho soldier of our Civil War cirried
forty. The cost of cartridges for an elli-
cu-nt rifleman in action now would bo
liout 1 per minute.
As the war with Spain is likely to be
hiefly a tiavsl war, it is well worth con
sidering how muck the war will cost
Spain. The figures wc have given as the
cost of constructing and usinjj vessels iu
war are on a gold basis. American four-
per-cents. sell nt almut S-t, or oue third
less than their face.
Thus, w hile it will cost our Govern
ment f I.tusi.iKK) to construct and equip a
liHttlrship, and $J,.VX) for every round fired
from one of our large euns, ami 2,500 for
every torpedo we hurl against the enemy,
the cost to Spain is just three times the
amount of the cost of the same to the
United States.
Yessels and munitions of war can lie
obtained only on the gold basis, aud every
round fired from the Spanish twelve-inch
gun must cost that government not less
than $7,.Vio, und every torpedo sent on its
mission of death from Spanish boat
must crista like sum. Spain is now en
joying the luxury of cheap money that is
demanded by many demagogues in our
iwn eoiiutry, and she pays for thcluxury
io trebling the cost of every shot she fires
agaiust her foe.
The present war with Spain will be the
most costly war of any time. However
brief it may be, our comprehensive prep
arations for it will count up in the hund
reds of millions, and if it shall continue
for a year its aggregate cost will probably
uot be less than ?i,0n0,Oj)0,0i)O, and may lie
more. In short, modern warfare is the
most costly savagery in the history of tbe
world.
