VOL.XXVII. THE RED CROSS. THE COMMISSARY, . THE HOSPITAL, AND THE HOUSE. What a " Democrat " Reporter Noted In a Hrlel Visit Wednesday-How Wall and Successfully the (.rand and Good Work is Being Performed. The flood fortunately (?) did not carry off all the cranks; there are a few left whose ideas are as pregnant with folly as they ate devoid of common sense. These loud-spcakiug, senseless lew see nothing but mismanagement and lack of industry in the various committees which labor un ceasingly in the interests of our people. Even the Red Cross has not escaped their jargons, but in many instances was a spe cial object for their calumnious words. Fearing that'some of the reports might have foundation in fact a reporter of this paper yesterday visited all the institutions under the flag of the lted Cross. At the hospital on Oak street. Hornerstown, oneis attracted by the arrangement of the tents, their neatness, and the economy practiced throughout the entire camp. Several of the inmates of the wards were interview ed and each had nothing but words of gratitude for the stall and uurses. All said that nothing was left undone to make them comfortable and iiappy, which was endorsed by their smiling feat tires. Not one had a care worn look. There are now fifteen in the hospital; seven with typhoid fever, three with bronchitis, two with malarial fever, two with measles and one with scurvy. There are bath tubs there which must be used by each patient before lie is allowed to enter any of the wards, and if his disease is dangerous his clothing is taken from him and burned, and replaced by new clothing when he is lit to wear it. Too much cannot he said of the efficiency and kinducss of the staff of this hospital. They are all from the city of Brotherly Love, and their actions, though requited by no emoluments, are a credit to their city and an honor to themselves and the organization they represent. The staff consists of R. S. Wharton. M. IX, Commandant: M. IV. Gillmer, M. D.. Chief of Staff and Surgeon in Charge : Charles S. Harvey, Commissary ; S. 11. Evans, Quartermaster; Miss Isabella Irvin, Matron ; Nurses, Mrs. Schuur, Mrs. Gage, Mis. Ziehnrias, Sangree and Mr. Montgomery. The ambulance driver is Mr, William Williams, who has done more for Johnstown than anv two men in it. Mr. Williams was in Philadel phia When the flovd occurred. He is a rigger by trade, but left his occupation and at once started for Johnstown. No idle curiosity brought him here, for be fore lie left PhUl'lelphia he provided him=elf with grappling irons to rescue the bodies from the flood. What work he did will never re ally be known. Alone and unaided he brought out two hundred bodies bi • tween Sauriyvnie Cemetery and the Penn sylvania Railroad bridge. Fot all this work bn has not received one penny, and When offered money said with a serious laugh : "My friends, my services you cannot buy, but if you ever speak of money again I'll pack my goods and go home." He looks ns simple and unassum ing as a child, and when asked how he got here so quickly after the Hood, said : ' Oh, I got on a freight car with my irons and then v, hen we could go no further on account of washouts, 1 hired a wagon." Tic paid hi- own expenses coming, and since here has spent two iiundred and fifty dollar. 1 ! in charities. It is sufficient recommendation of his work to say that although not a member of the Red Cross organization, they became acquainted with him through his heroic work, and since then he has been as one of their own. At the Red Cross Commissary, op posite the Company store, tiiere are a number of employe- as busy as farmers in harvest time. Bustle here and hurry there is the or k-r of the day. In a little room to one side, scparuted from the other apartments by a curtain, sits the person who directs it all. You enter the apartment and there before a few plain boards, which serve as an excuse for a desk, sets humble Clara Barton. She has a goodualured smile and a kind word for everyone, hue is a woman of more thought than v.ords. She speaks slowly and elegantly. In fact from her speech one can see her charkfcier. She is more for action than lor talk. As the saying 1- she talks by acts. In her conversation she never used one word too much, which showsthe thorough business woman that she is. Five minutes in her presence is enough to convince any one that she certainly i 3 the guardian angel tin Valley of Death. No air of sell importance, no self-adoration can be de tected in the least of her acts. Not satis fied with providing shelter for the home less and destitti' , she has even gone so far as to provide amusement for them. This she did by suggesting toMr. Morgan the propriety of having a piano in the Red Cross Hotel. She argued that two thirds of those there have been uccus tomed to pianos at their homes, and many of them can play. By moans of a little music in the evenings the harrassing JOHNSTOWN, CAMBRIA COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 16. 1889. thoughts winch come from loss of friends and loved ones are dispelled, and that feeling of nameless joy that music creates, rocks weary heads to rest from the cares that infest the day. Mrs. Perry, ua inmate of the hotel, when asked what she thought of the Red Cross Society and its work, sai!, as the big tears of gratefulness rolled down her withered cheeks—"l think they have done wonders. They beat all I ever heard. They have been most. kind to us. All I have I owe them except life. That, too, I may say, Ims been preserved by them." " But, Mrs. Perry," interposed the re porter—"some people are complaining of them " " Oh, my good man, the more people do the more fault is found with them. Only great people can make great mistakes, and to attribute great ones to the Red Cross is to admit them to be great. lam glad to be able to say a word in praise of them. They have been most kind. Only for them I would not know where to put my head." COUNTY COM XI ITT EE. A New Election Ordered and the Demo cratic rriinarle* Fixed for August 24. Pursuant to call of the Chairman, the Democratic County Committee met in Armory Flail, in Ebensburg, Monday afternoon, Chairman Walters presided, and Mr. E. T. McNeelis acted as Secre retary. A call of the roll showed that the following districts were represented, either by Committeemen, or substitutes. Chairman, James M. Walters, Johns town. Allegheny township, 11. G. Kaylor; Barr township, Henry G. llopple ; Cam bria township, Thomas Hoover; Carroll town borough, Andrew Eckenrode ; Car roll township, J. G. C. Bearer; Chest Springs borough, J. 15. Noonan ; Clear field township, A G. Storm; Ebens burg West ward, M. D. liberty) Elder township, Anselm Weakland; Gallitzin borough. M. Fitzharris; Gal litzin township, J. J.

Lantz'y ; Washington township, No. 1, Luke Burgoon; West Taylor township, John E. Stravcr. Chairman Walters announced that on account of the great flood at Johnstown, an election had only been held in a few of the districts on June Ist, and he asked tile sense of the meeting as to what should be done in the matter. On motion of Mr. Fitzharris it was decided that a new election be held throughout the County, and upon motion of the settle gentleman, it was decided to he!;] the election on Sat urday, August 2-lth. It was announced that all the can lidates had survived the flood except William Steigerwald, who had been the candidate for Coroner, and the Committee was asked what should be done in the prem ises. On motion of M. Fitzharris the name of Mr. Peter McGough, of Portage, was placed on the ticket for Coroner, aud on motion of John E. Strayer it was agreed that any person who complied with the rules could have his name printed on the ticket for Coroner, providing the arrange ment was effected on or before Saturday, August lTtli. The question of the pay of the election officers who had held elections on June Ist was next discussed, aud it was agreed to let the matter be adjusted by the can didates. Mr. Henry J. Hopple asked what waft going to be done with the returns of the elections held on June Ist, and on motion of Anselm Weakland it was decided to burn them, and they were accordingly consigned to the stove in the presence of the committee. On motion the committee adjourned. Register Only Once. Many people conceive the notion that if they register several times, or in several different ways they may possibly get more money from the relief fund than if they would make a plain statement of their losses. This is an error and it causes the different Committees no end of trouble. The purpose is to treat everyone fairly, aud if all would stop and register, and only the head of tlfe family register once, the .vork could to done more quickly. Noth ing whatever is gained by duplicate reg istering by any member of a family, and those who attempt fraud may expect to be severely dealt with. liiKuraiute Money. Mr. John McDermott, agent for the New York I/ife Insurance Company, has -r-ived drafts in favor of the following: . Mary Louisa Unverzagt, widow of George Unverzagt, $5,000: Messrs. M. D. Kittcll, John Dowling, and David hurry, Executors of the late ex-Slicriff John Ryan, SIO,OOO ; Jas. B. O'Connor, Esq., Administrator of the late M. J. Murphy, late proprietor of the Hotel Brunswick, $2,000. BOLD MOONSHINERS. WESTMORELAND COUNTY HAS THREE STILLS AT WORK. Their Agent* Selling the Liquor Openly to Miner*—The Revenue Officer* Regarded Contemptuously—Other New* of In tereHt. Located in different places in the mountainous district of Westmoreland county there are three illicit distilleries in active operation. A year ago revenue officers made an etfort to run them down, but their plans miscarried, and since that time, especially within the lust two months, the operators have assumed a boldness surprising to those who have a positive knowledge of the existence of the distilleries. One of the "moonshine" plants is lo cated in a ravine on the ridge overlooking Derry, another is on Laurel Hill, in the southeastern part of the county, and the third is near the county line, on a moun tainous range near the mouth of Indiau Creek. Never can a stranger cross a cer tain line marked out by the operators, and to guard against intruders " spotters " are employed, and it is their duty to spirit away anyone whose curiosity leads them that way. These " spotters" live in huts, a mile or two distant from the plants, and are always armed with riiles. The quality of the whisky manufactured is said to be fair, and its sale by the mode adopted is always sure, i Agents are employed, and the products of | these stills are sold through the coke . region. The miners are supplied wholly ; by agents, and the majority of them know that the liquor is illicit, but the cheapness of the articleaud the convenience afforded in its being delivered binds them in a de gree to secrecy. Some of the fa r m ?rs de liver rye to these agents and the whisky I made therefrom is delivered to them regu larly and the price collected. It is be lieved an attempt will be made within the next two weeks to arrest the operators, as revenue officers have met in e insultation regarding plans of procedure within the last ten days. Improvement!* in the >l. E. Chnreli. A force of workmen under Mr. C. L. Cornclison lias begun repairs in the Meth odist Episcopal Church. This massive stone structure was but little injured on the exterior, but inside on the first floor and cellar, chairs, benches and cushions, pulpit and gallery presents a scene i f in describable chaos and confusion. The church will be beautified by a large pipe organ which will, with the gallery for the choir, occupy a position just on the left of the pulpit. Other improvements will be added, which will make the interior more beau tiful than ever it was before. Contributions lor this purpose have generously flowed in from various congre gations all over the United States, who unite witli their expo ions of condol ence and sympathy, j i .etictd proofs of their sincerity in des. ing to see their brethren again prosperous and happy. Two liodica Kxliuined. Tiie hodo of a female was found Mon day morning at tire corner of Lincoln and Union streets. Following is ndescription : Brown hair, plaited and held by a knot ; cold filling in upper front teeth, also in lower jaw ; hack teeth filled with silver; the two front teeth overlap ; a tuue plaid dress, strip on the side about eight inches in width, full length of the skirt; black jersey, large buttons: black stockings, button slice ', lisle thread nuts, large hair pin, height five feet and three inches, weight 125 pounds. About 5:30 o'clock yesterday evening the remains of a man, supposed to be Even Hughes, were exhumed from the ruins 111 the rear of Col. Linton's house. He wore a heavy overcoat, button shoes, plain leather belt : in his pockets were a band and handkerchief, and a knife: his height was about five feet nitie inches. What Does lliis Portend? Mr. Jack Hitchcns, the jolly old sailor, who resides in a comfortable house on Hinckston Run, showed us yesterday a wonderful freak of nature. One of his chickens had a nest of thirteen eggs un der the porcli of his house, and yesterday came out with eleven chickens, leaving two eggs in the nest, one of them broken open. The egg broken open contained a wonderful little chick with four wings four legs, three bills, one head, and two eyes. It was so joined together that it appeared to be only one little chick. Can nny of the adjoiningcounties produce any thing like this? Should lie Fixed. The Lincoln bridge, or rather the tem porary affair occupying the site of that once handsome and substantial structure, is iu a decidedly rickety condition. To the ordinary observer it would seem tiiut it is unsafe. When we consider the posi tion we would be in, hould this means of exit from the town topple into the river, the question presents itself, why is not some thing done to make it safe. .Just whose business it is to sec that something is done is hard to determine, but the fact remains that something should be done and done quickly. JUDGE CUMMIN DEAD. Career of an Eminent Judge and a Suc cexaful Lawyer. Judge 11. H. Cummin, member of the food relief commission appointed by Gov ernor Beaver, died at Cresson, Sunday morning at eight o'clock of Bnght's dis ease. The body was taken to Williams port, his late home, on a special car ten dered by the officials of the Pennsylvania road. The remains were accompanied by Mrs. Cummin and her daughter and son. Hugh Hart Cummin was of Scotch- Irish ancestry, and was born May 25, 1841, at Liverpool. Perry county, Pa. He was educated in the public school at his native village and afterwards became teacher in the same institution. Until be lived in Liverpool. In that year he removed to Williamsport, where he lias since resided. His legal reading was done in the office of the late George White, and in August, 1804, he was admitted to the Lycoming county bar. He enlisted in the army in 1804 and went to the front, serving until the close of the war, when he returned home and formed a partnership with his forhicr preceptor, under the firm name of White & Cummin, which continued until Mr. White's death, which occurred in 1868. For ten years Mr. Cummin continued alone the practice of the firm, which had become very lucrative. In 1878 he was elected President Judge of the Lycoming county courts. He was the people's can didate and after a hot fight secured a handsome majority. Wheu elected the business was two years behind, hut the dockets were soon cleared, and the county's business has since been kept up to date, though the expenses of the courts were reduced about one half. After having made a record on the bench second to none in the Common wealth, Judge Cummin retired eaily in the present year and resumed the prac tice of his profession, which he neglected when his city was devasted by the flood of May 31st, and devoted his whole time to the relief of his unfortunate neighbors. He was chairman of the Citizens' Relief Committee, and so well did he perform his work that Governor Beaver appoint ed him a member of the State Flood Com mission, and he was by that body unani mously chosen us their resident represen tative at Jo mstown. He at once took up his residence at Cresson, so as to he near the scene of his lah'ors, and it was while engaged in his arduous labors that lie was stricken with • lie disease that terminated in his death. Judge Cummin was married in May, | lyO'J, to Miss Charlotte White, of VVil Hamsport, who survives him with one son. who lias recently finished his fresh man year at Harvard ' 'allege. The Body <>l Rev. Ilex. ,f. A. ltanmiy. Rev. J. A. liaaney and wife, of Kala mazoo, Michigan, were on the ill-fated Day Express, 011 the day of the flood. Mrs. Ranney got from the train at East Conemmtgh and war caught in the water and drowned. Iler husband was one of the few that remained in one of the cars that was not washed away and escaped. A few days after her son, Mr. D. A. Mat thews, of St. Raul, Minn., came here and after a careful anTl diligent search failed to hear any tidings of his mother. Ou Saturday last accompanied by his brother, Mr. W. F. Matthews, of Kansas, lie again came here and renewed the search. The brothers discovered in the room at Alma Halt, where the found val uables are kept, a watcii ami chain, which they recognized as belonging to their mother. Further search revealed the fact that the watch had bueu taken from the person of a woman found on June tilth and taken to the Millvilie morgue and interred the same day 011 Prospect. The description of the body from which the watch was taken did not. however, seem to describe the mother, but the brothers found tiie grave on Prospect and iiad the remains exhumed. They identified them as those of their mother by two finger rings and the cloth ing. The remains will be taken to Kala mazoo for interment. Sir. and Sirs. Ranney were taking a trip east, the objective point being Vermont their native State. The sons, who found her, are children of her first husband. A High Slass was celebrated in St. Co luiuba's Church, Cambria, yesterday morning for the repose of the soul of Sir. Patrick Boyle, of Prospect, whose fu neral occurred the nl tornooll before. A large number of the neighbors and friends of Sir. Boyle attended the services, thus showing in what high esteem he was held in this community. The cele brant was Rev. Father O'Donnell, of Vil onona College, Philadelphia, a nephew of the deceased. The services were very impressive. Father O'Donnell will re main in town a few days to visit among his friends, when he will return home. YoongNtowii't* Contribution to Johnntown. -Mayor Montgomery and E. T. Collar, of "1 oungstown, Ohio, who had in charge the funds raised for the benefit of the Johnstown sufferers, have forwarded the amount subscribed and collected and hold the vouchers of Treasurer Thompson, of the Belief Committee. The total amount collected was $8,416.83. TO VISIT HIS OLD HOME. Jo.lull Hnl.opplo, Ilnnawny Boy, Up turns to Greet 111. Fattier and Friend.. Ten years ago Mr. .Tosiali Holsopple.son of Mr. Jacob Holsopple, of Richland township, taught school in West Taylor township. At the close of the term be packed his satchel anil left bis boarding house, presumably for his home, but lie never showed up there. For months no one knew where lie was, when a letter re ceived by some of bis friends, said he bad left home for good on account of what lie considered harsh treatment. He was not of age, and his father denounced bis action very severely, hence lie never ventured to come home until Saturday of last week he surprised his frieuds by his sudden appearance here. As he lias now grown to man's estate, and lias been an industrious boy, being engaged in a prof itable business in the West.it is presumed his father's heart lias softened, and he would be glad to welcome home his boy. His trip is a short one, and be will leave for the West again to-morrow morning. Somerset .Jurors.

The Work Rapidly Progressing, anil When Completed Will he a Credit to Our City, The Cambria Iron Company's new Club House still maintains a flourishing ex istence in Peelorville. As soon as possible after the destruction of their line building on the corner of Main and Walnut streets, the Cambria Irou Company converted tliO dwelling houses occupied by Dr. Elder and Expressman Walker, into a tempo rary boarding place until necessary T(£ pairs and improvements could be made. There is to be added to the original building a wing, fronting Walnut street, with four stories, of pressed brick, con taining. in addition to the first floor, thir ty-six sleeping apartments. Formerly entertainment was provided only for those under the employ of, or on business with the Cambria Iron Company. Wheft this shall have been completed, about December, it will be possible to open their register to a greater number Of guests. At their present quarters in Peelorville they have from thirty-live to forty boarders ; these will remove to the Club House proper about September Ist., which will be an event giving consider able satisfaction to the inmates, sinco they are now rather crowded and much in need of sleeping room. Col. Higgius will pusli the work as vigorously as possible. Masons arc now sinking deep and secure foundations, and when the entire building U finished it will be, as far as appearances go, Johnstown's best hotel. A Wild Kiinawtty. A runaway on Washington street Moft day morning threatened at one tiuio to end very seriously. At tlie Pennsylvania Kail road station a pair of horses, hitched to a light carriage, were frightened, by the whistle of a westbound freight. The driver was absent, and as the horses were not hitched, they ran for the Lincoln, street bridge. At the time there were Several womea on the bridge, but all escaped unhurt ex cept one, who was struck on the arm by one of the wheels, but not with sufficient force : knock her oil the bridge. The horse.- Jen madly dashed up Washington street, which was crowded with wagons. Opposite the Company Store the carriage struck a wagou loaded with coffins, knocking five of them into the mud, but still keeping its mad course. About twenty yards further on lite carriage struck the beer wagon cf Ik Luu. & Son, the spokes in the wheel struck snapped like ned-. the traces and whittle-trees were broken, but the horses still kept on.

Two officers escorted him to the Millville jail and placed lni in a cell. There he let himself loose on the theo logical issues of the day, and enlightened the officers on his important mission. Among other things he stated that he was from New Athens, Clarion county, Pa., and t hat he was working on a farm with his father until six mouths ago,when God called him to do His work. He is still meditating on the vanity of human pleasure in cell No. 3. Was There An I'intercurrent .' A large stepping stone that was in front of John Fenn's house on Locust street before the flood, on which Mr. Fenn'i name was engraved, was yesterday taken out of the cellar of Chus.

As this i 3 directly in the direction fr n which the water came it is a question how tlic stone was carried there, and leads to (lie sugges tion that there may have been an upward undercurrent.
