The Democrat j FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1889. FIRK AND WATER. From time immemorial one of the great subjects for debate in every debating so ciety has been, which is capable of do -5 :: the greater amount of damage, (ire or aler ? At first blush the palm is usually i:ven to Are, but a little investigation t ••net ally decides in favor of water. This e think, will be fully verified by the 1 inutes of all such societies. • 11 a vote could be taken upon the ques r 'in by the thousands who have seen a ii.it water has done as a destroying igent, in Johnstown and vicinity, it would be unanamous in favor of water. To-day, if Johnstown and all the towns of the whole valley had been swept from the face of the earth—if all vestiges of mills, residences, stores and shops had been lit erally burnt up, the place and its sur roundings would be infinitely better off. Not one life would have been lost to every one hundred that has been carried away l>v the flood. In a confiagnration there i c far more favorable prospects of escape than in the face of a deluge. And so as to property, suppose streets would have been totally denuded of buildings by fire, they would not have been filled with millions of cart-loads of debris j nor c overed to the depth of sev eral feet with sand. As to cellars, the brick falling in some of them would have been removed in a comparatively short period of time, and at the expenditure of very little money. One hundred men could have done far more in removing ob structions caused by burning, than five or !cn thousand have been able to do in clearing off the stuff left by the flood. Then again, the many thousand dollars spent in the herculean task of freeing the river at the sloue bridge would liaye been saved. People who tnlk about a comparison be tween the ravages of a fire and those of a flood, have but little conception of the difference between them. The two may be contrasted, but compared, never. Further, if we had been burnt out lost everything, houses, furniture, clotlung. stores, offices, shops, and stables, the hundred thousands that would have been realized ou insurances would have cone far to putting most ail ou their feet again. Very little material aid from abroad would have been required to cause the town to rise again like the fabulous Phoenix from its ashes. But, alas, the dregs of the flood do not contain therein snents of a new life. Burnt out Pittsburgh in 184, 1 ), and (ire swept Chicago at a later period, that were so soon rebuilt, are not parallel eases. As * new world was made by the Noah del uge, so a new Johnstown must be created and not rebuilt. The word "rebuild "is not of place when applied to the towns ef the flood-ruined Conemaugh valley. A I'LKA 1-OK HOME PATRONAGE. While we have had no disposition to indulge in any unfavorable comments of the work done by our State authorities, and no wish now to utter a word that could be construed into anything like carping criticism, we think something ihould be said in favor of a little home protection, which, as we understand it, is a favorite plunk in all tariff platforms. Awarding full credit to those who have At first the difficulty of procuring work ing implements, teams, wagons, caits, and hands made it somewhat necessary to give contracts to parties who had such means at hand; but now that facilities arc abundant for procuring them, the ne cessity for sucli n course does not exist. AVe have in Johnstown men who have been accustomed to handle successfully large bodies of men in various depart ments of work, and who are equal to the task of undertaking and performing any enterprise connected with cleaning up our waste places or in erecting buildings. And being 011 the ground and familiar with all our local affairs we hazard noth ing in saying they can do the work now required better and at less expense than ny contractors from abroad. If we are correctly informed a perfectly -csponsiblc citizen proposed to do work Allotted to strangers at a much less ex pense than is to lie paid, and in a shorter period of time. Not only he but other men in town could utilize bodies of men 'distributed in smaller gangs) to much better advantage and less expense than the hundreds concentrated in one place by some of the contractors from abroad. But even if our home men could not do lie work any quicker, better or cheaper, the principle of patronizing home talent *nd home labor should be obtained. For general work—for doing it well, expeditiously and economically no com munity lias any superiors to A. J. Haws, or Mr. James, and others that might be named. Their well-known ability, as wcl as their push and get up and their uniform success in the past, are guarantees suffi cient. And as builders and contractors we have in Messrs. Rose & Son, Mr. B. P. Horner, Mr. Seigh, Mr. Bcuford, Mr. J. J. Strayer, Mr. Teeter, and others the equals, at least, of any that have or could be imported. Aside from ull this the fact that they have all suffered severely by our vyashout, sught not to be overlooked. (T is the opinion of some of our people who were saved on buildings,and had fjtv oruble opportunities for observation, that not Dearly l as many houses would have" been destroyed if it had not been for the 'urge box cars that struck them. Some structures that withstood the shock of others that came against them were mow ed down like gras before the scythe when the- heavy cars struck them. JOHNSTOWN'S PAUL HKVERE Daniel Siliert Wan the Man Who Kto<le Down the Valley to Warn the Teople. Daniel Sibert was the true Paul Revere of the Johnstown flood, according to a story told by Mr. J. P. Wilson, Superin tendent of the Argyle Coal Company at South Fork. Mr. Wilson says : "About noon on the day of the flood, the incess ant rain and the unprecedented rise in the Conemaugh and South Fork rivers, caused tne to fear that the dam would be in danger, and about noon I sent Dan Sibert on horseback to learn the condition of the dam. He returned about at 12:80 o'clock and reported that a little water was running over the dam. Later in the afternoon I observed that the waters in the streams were not subsiding, and, fear ing more than ever that the dam would burst, I again sent Sibert to the dam. He was gone but a short time when he re turned, riding at full speed, and reported that the water had broken through the dam about twelve feet from the top and was running out in a stream about the size of a barrel. I knew then that it was but a question of time until the dam would give way, and making all possible haste, I went to the Pennsylva nia Railroad signal tower across the bridge and sent a message, saying: "The dam is breaking. Lookout!" The lady op erator laughed at me when I gave her the message, and an engineer in the tower at the time said there was 110 danger. I in duced her to send it, however, and then I walked out of the tower, across the rail road and up the steps to the tramroad. I had just reached that point when I heard the Hood coming. I called to the people in the tower, and at last, when they saw it, they hastened from the build ing. the operator ran up the steps and the engineer ran to his engine near the tipple. He cut his engine loose, and, pulling the throttle wide open, rushed up the track. Just as he was crossing the bridge the flood struck the tender of the engine. The bridge was carried away but the engineer escaped. " When Sibert came from the dam the second time the people living in the low er portions of South Fork hastily heeded his warning and escaped. Altogether 38 houses, occupied by 43 families, were de stroyed. The fact that only two persons were drowned shows that Sibert's warn ing was well heeded. At the time my message was going over the wires, a rela. tive of mine, employed on the railroad, was in the Mineral Point signal tower. Realizing what the warning meant, he hastened to the village and gave the warning. All of the residents of that place except 14 escaped. Three years ago, when Superintendent Pitcairn, of the Pennsylvania road went with me to inspect tlie dam, he told me that if ever there was any danger a break I was to notify him at once. 1 did so, and am glad to know that my warning saved some lives, at least." •' IIKAKT failure," as a cause of death, has become almost as common an ex pression with medical men as " malaria" in connection with sundry ills to which flesh is heir. An exchange says: "It would be an excellent idea if physicians of the present day would invent some other reason for about all of the deaths which occur nowadays than the cheap fraud 'heart failure.' This might not be ot serious moment were it not for the fact that hundreds of people are be ing nearly frightened to death by the con stant use of this cause for sudden deaths, and many persons who are sick, and necessarily have some heart symptoms, are kept in constant terror by cither read ing or hearing of death by heart failure. There are probably no more deaths from heart failure in these times than hereto fore : but a new cause for death has been coined, and the nervous and timid are be ing severely injured by it." A COXVICT in the Eastern penitentiary, whose name and offense the prison rules will not permit to be made kown, has proved himself a-man of sense and feeling, lie had saved fifteen dollars by working overtime and wanted to give it all to the Johnstown sufferers, but the warden re fused to accept more than five dollars. A Tennessee gentleman named Proudlit, struck by the contributions of the priso ners in the penitentiary stilt to Governor Denver two checks —one for SI,OOO for the sufferers and another $5 for the priso ner who hud subscribed that amount. The Governor transmitted the latter to Warden f'assidy, but when the sum was offered to the prisoner he indignantly re jected it, saying that the $5 that he gave was his own and tliat he did not want any consideration from anyone for giving his own money. ONE of tlic most conspicuous and sad dest features of our disaster was the ter rible destruction of child life. In pro portion the children were the greatest suf ferers. On the other hand, one of the noblest features of the relief work has been the work of children. Thousands of dollars have been raised by them in Sun day Schools and Mission bands. Many a hoarded treasure of bright pennies bus been gladly given by little folks all over the land, whose hearts were touched by the stories of suffering nnjl destitution 111 the Conemaugh valley, Difficult Operation. Dr. A.N.Wakefield, ussisted by l)r. Geo. W. Wagoner, performed a very delicate operation on a son of M'". John Gallagher, of Derry Station, Westmoreland, yester day afternoon/-- The boy is aged about three years, ami about three months ago had an attack of pleurisy wicli formed a collection of pus in the chest cavity. The operation was entirely successful, over a pint and a half of pus being removed. THK LAST KXGINK TO CIHXS THE BUIDOE. Kng)llPr Hutch Clifford KMHIOH His Kx. perittiiuethe Evenliif; of Ihn Grout Flood. T). A. Orr, of Chambersburg. was in I'hiladelphia (ffew days ago, and touch ing on the Johnstown horror, from the scene of which lie had just returned, said : " I see that one of your city papers, re ferring to the saving of James Kelly and dozens of others by the engineman who dashed through Johnstown in advance of the flood, says : They fled to the lulls and waited. They saw the unknown en gineer fleeing along the track, with the flood racing behind him; they do not know nor does any one there know to this day who lie was or whether he ran out. The daring engineer who plucked cour age from danger's bold face was Hugh Clifford, in charge of freight engine No. 048, and he kept ahead of the sweep. I saw him last Monday, and with becoming modesty lie told me his story, running something like this; •• ' I was at Conemaugh when the oper ator there received a message that the dam had broken. I knew what that might mean, for I was nwtne of the enormous volume of water its banks up lo that time had held in control. I had not a moment to lose, as thoughls of the people and friends as far as Lockport, twenty miles away, that i might save, thickened upon me. I leaped to my engine, to which was attached four freight ears, and started on my ride witli a full head of steam. For the first time in my life I went ahead without orders. I heard the dreadful roar behind me and felt that mine was a race to save many lives. I was afraid to look back for fear of being appalled by what I had undertaken. I sped down the grade, my whistle scream ing and bell ringing, while culled to hundreds, shouting and making myself heard as best I could : ' Get to the hills! The dam has broken!' Along by the track at Johnstown some workmen jeered me and others cried with oaths : ' Let it break!' But I warned all I could. " Mine was the last engine to cro?3 the Johnstown bridge. I think I was there about twenty minutes ahead of the flood, and while my locomotive did its best, in my fear for the safety of those I had yet to reach, I felt at times that the wheels were not moving. On I sped past Cam bria City, Sang Hollow, Ninevah and New Florence; cn until I reached Loekport, where my brothers and their families live. There 1 stopped, alarmed all I could, hur ried our people to the hills, and soon the great wave had caught up with me. If I saved many, as they suy I did, I am satis fled. I don't soe that I deserve praise for doing what I thought was the best to do. This was not the safest for myself, 1 agree, but I thought then rather of the hundreds I might help than of my own security.' " Hugh Clifford, who rode down the valley ou his iron steed, unlike Sheridan, in front of his enemy instead of behind, on that fateful Friday, was not then a hero for the first time. It was this plucky fellow, then a fireman only twenty years of age, who. some eight years ago,averted an awful wreck and loss of life. He found the freight train he was on, a train of twenty loaded cars, speeding down the eastern slope of the Alleghenies at Allegrippus, deserted by the engineer and crew, all save Fireman Clifford. The engineer deemed the train beyond control, and, signaling danger, jumped from his en ginne, and with the remainder of the crew, except the young fireman, fled. He might, too, easily and safely have jumped as did the rest; hut he knew the danger and death that it would cause as it would dash into the Altoona yards un manned, Clifford, with a full realization of his risk, saw that the engine was re versed, then ran hack the full length of of the train, breaking each car as he went, and soon, though it seemed hours to him, he had brought the train to a stand still and was able to take it safely to Altoona. Clifford never fired after that day. The next morning he was made an engineer. And now the hero of Allegrippus has won new laurels in the Valley of the Cone mmigh ! Paul Hevere's ride seems a pleasure gallop when its story is told along with Hugh Clifford's." Undertaker Henderson Highly Compli ■limited. Dr. Formad, of Philadelphia, was in town Sunday and visited the Morgue. He has bundled thousands of bodies, and says that everything here has been done as well as possible, and he could have no suggestions to offer. Important to Railroad Men A. E.
