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

W. Wagoner, performed a very delicate
operation on a son of M'". John Gallagher,

day afternoon/-- The boy is aged about
three years, ami about three months ago

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."
