The Democrat FKIDAY, AUGUST 80,1889. INGALI.B tbjnks Harrison's policy Has erystalized, but most other people are at a loss to know what Harrison's policy is. THE Prohibitionists are apparently as lively as the proverbal flea and the Re publicans are not nearly so happy as they would be otherwise. THROUGHOUT Italy the principal* towns are one alter another, providing buildups for the treatment of hydrophobia accord ing to Pasteur's system, and the Munici pal Council of Rome has lately decided to devote the necessary sum of money to furnishing a Pasteur institute there. This isa strong proof of the increasing confi dence felt in the treatment. THE last session of the Legislature set apart September 2d as a legal holiday, to be dedicated to labor, under the name of Labor Day. Labor Day being a legal liol ' tpay in this State, the bonks will not l> open for business, and consequently all notes drafts, bills, acceptances and simi lar i bligalions maturing and payable at sank on that day will be due on the pre- | vious business day. VOUDOOISM, according to the Now Or- j leans papers, is not dying out in that city. ! On the contrary, it is on the increase. It j will be remembered that a few months ago | an establishment in that city was raided and a number of white and colored wo men were found dancing around an old voudoo doctor, whose incantations they imagined benefitted their health. The Other night a meeting of the same kind Wa3 held, and it was more numerously at tended than the former ones. THE Prohibiten Convention at Harris burg to nominate a candidate for State Treasurer is going to be a large and im posing body. Philadelphia itself will Send about one hundred and fifty dele gates. If the Prohibitionists stick to their own man, as they say they will do, Mr. Boyer's majority will be a semewhat slim affair, if indeed he gets any majority at all. The Prohibitionists and the work ingmen in the mining districts ought to slaughter htm between them. THE people of Vermont are lamenting the fact that thousands of acres of land once in cultivation arc now barren and uncultivated simply because no one wants to farm them. With 200,000 of her people living in other States she has 385,000 at ItOmc. An effort is being made to bring agricultural people from Sweden to farm vacant acres. Other States are oon< efned in like manner, but they can hardly rem edy the matter. Most of the emigration Ifl to the West, % As Oregon fishing company has made Such a success of its first consignment of ; frcsli fish for the New York market that j it talks of extending its business < ml con verting what has been an experiment into j a steady supply. The fish are caught j from steamers which make short, swift trips to tiie fishing hanks from Portland, I Oregon. At Portland they are put on cars and are speeded through to New York. The Pacific fish trains may yet be common oi ir trurk lines. THERE is hardly a school boy who does not remember when electric lights were first used to any extent in this country, and many of tlicm can remember when the telephone was something of a novelty. Now the telephone business represent it least sßo,uoo.oooof invested capital, while the electric lighting and electric power intercs ts arc placed as high as >::0U.0(J(I,- 000. These two industries are now in their Infancy, and what they will amount to wh en full grown is almost impossible to imagine. IT is A singular fact that California ha g 30 Sunday law. There was such a law, i but it was repealed in 1888 ; yet it cannot be said that there is any less observance of Sunday since the repeal of the law. On the contrary, an investigation shows th at Sunday is observed more us a Sa- I creel day this present year than it was | tko year the law was repealed. All of | which shows that men are not controlled ! SO much by law as by custom and com-1 mon sense. Every man who works at ail 1 hails Sunday as a day of rest and recrea tion. lie will have it, law or no law. It is a necessity. Sunday observance has become part of our being. It is au un-1 written aw '.hat the shops must be hut one da j in the week, and it will he for all time, no difference what men beljuvu, or what laws they pass or do not enact.

Burggraf, who arc about to opeu the Con emaugh "Valley Furniture Company, have made every arrangement to start with a large and elegant stock of goods. Their building is being rapidly pushed, and they expect to be ready to do business on September Ist. Tltey are young meu of experience and ability, and will be pleas ant gentlemen to deal with. The Altoona Timet of Friday said : Messrs. John IV. Wonders and William F. Burggraf, of Johnstown, came to the city yesterday morning to meet representatives of var ious furniture factories located in She boygan, Wis., Cincinnati, Detroit, Wil liamsport, Philadelphia and Baltimore, the purpose in view being the purchase of an immense stock of furniture, the two gentlemen named having just formed what is henceforth to be known us the " Couemaugh Valley Furniture Com pany." They are having erected on Clin ton street, Johnstown, the first perma nent building put up on that thorough fare since the recent terrible flood. It is to be a brick-cased building, 100 by 2? feet, two stories high, aud will, when completed, be one of the most commodi ous and best located business houses in the New Johnstown. We wish our worthy friends immense success in their stupendous enterprise, and are sure that the wants of the community, coupled with honest goods and honest dealing, will bring the returns the new firm hopes to achieve. —. ♦ w ♦ Another Flood Victim Keportod. New York World. It is no doubt a fact that Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, was killed in the Johns town dam disaster.

Governor Beaver received another con- i tributiou of i.COI) Friday from the citi zens of Berlin for lite dc iitutc people of Johnstown. This makes the total contri bution from Berlin about $24,000 and the grand total from Germany, $31,000. AN APPEAL FOR AID. By the Hoard of Education of Johnstown. JOHNSTOWN, PA., August 6, 1889. To County, City, and Borough Superinten dents of Pennsylvania. As the Boara ot i',(mention of Johns town, Pennsylvania, we beg leave to pre sent for your consideration the following statement of facts touching the educa tional interests of our city. We do this in the hope that you may feel justified in ex tending to us the aid necessary to open our schools and provide educational facilities for our children. The terrible destruction of property and the bitter suffering of our people by the flood of May 31st rendered it impossible for us to secure, by means of taxation, the money required to mantain our schools during the current year. No portion of the money which has been so generously contributed by a sympathetic public can be used for pub lie school purposes, as it will be exhaust ed in supplying the immediate and press ing wants of our stricken people. We have appealed to the Governor of our State for assistance, but whilst admit ting the necessities of our position, lie yet does not feel that he possesses the author ity to apply to our relief any part of the educatioual appropriation of the Com monwealth. During the past year we had thirty-six schools, thirty-eight teacher"-', and an en rollment of nineteen hundred and thirteen pupils. The expense of maintaining the schools for this period was in round num bers $23,000. At the opening of the ap proaching school term we shall have eiglittcen hundred children for whom school accommodations and educational facilities must be provided. Some of out school buildings were destroyed, others are seriously damaged, and we have not the motley with which to build or repair. There is, in addition to our loss, a bonded indebtedness of $12,000, which, with our reduced valuation through destruction of property, will bring our indebtedness up to the limit allowed by the Constitution. To supply the needful accommodations and provide the necessary teaching force will require, for the year, an expenditure of not less than $25,000. This money we cannot secure oy taxation or loans, and, as we have exhausted every other resource known to us, we now appeal to the edu cational people of Pennsylvania for aid in this, our hour of need. Humanity forbids that our children be left to roam nbout the streets, subject to the contaminating influences of street as sociations. But the cause of the public schools of this city, in their utter destitu tion, needs no argument before the school men of this State. We feel that we have only to state our need to secure the requi site aid. We desire to open the schools at the usual time, and, to this end, we hope our friends will be prompt in giving us assur ances of co-operation. A. small sum gathered from the citizens of each of the twenty-two hundred school districts of the State will not be missed by them, and will be a blessing to us. Johnstown has been a prosperous city in the past, and when she rises, as she surely will, from the ruin and desolation which enshroud her at present, her grate ful people will not forget in their happier hours the friends whose generous and sympathetic hands were stretched out to them in the night of their sorrow and want. 11. L. COULTER, President. D. J. JONES, Secretary. James J. Frouheiscr, Gotlieb Bantly, J. W. Ilaiuer, Horace It. ltose, John Von Alt. FROM OR. E. E. 11IGBEE, SUPERINTENDENT OF ITItUO INSTItrOTION. COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, ] DEFARTMKNT of PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, ' QAERISBUEG, August 10, 1889. J We fully endorse this touching appeal of the School Directors of Johnstown to the schoolmen of the State. No interest has suffered more frotn the disastrous flood than the schools. They need imme diate help, and surely it will be given. Let every borough, city, and county su perintendent take prompt measures to gather contributions, and forward the same at once to the School Board at Johnstown, that the schools may be opened and the children gathered into them. Our peoplo will not neglect such a challenge as this upon their generous sympathy. They will not see destitute parents, their property and their fiicuds buried beneath the flood, suffering the additional misery of being deprived of all opportunity of schools for their children. They will respond to this appeal. No superintendent, therefore, need lies- ' itate a single moment to organize the | work of soliciting contributions,by teach- I ers and others, that sufficient funds may ' be secured to start the schools into opera- I tiou. Then the busy hum of happy cliil-1 drcn at their studies may help to drive away the sad memory of the horrors through which the wrecked city lias passed. Very Respectfully, E. E. HIOUEE, Sup't. of Public Instruction. Search for Photographs of Dead Children From the Pittsburgh Dispatch. 8. C.

Prompt Action to Provide for exigencies Demanded—No More Time to Lose, in Further Inaction. What is the matter with our represen tative people ? At the speecial meeting called for tiie Board of Trade, on Saturday night, only two members put In an ap pearance. Our borough Councils since the Hood have only held one or two meetings, and nothing has been done. The municipality is in bail shape, and it behooves those who represent the peo ple, to hustle themselves and get matters on a better basis. Here it is now over twelve weeks since the flood, and no at tempt whatever has been made by the authorities of Johnstown, to get the affairs of the borougli into shape again. The iron belonging to the bridges that were washed away, all lies in the river, and should be fished out and takeu care of. We need bridges the worst kind of away. The present flimsy structures will not stand the force of a heavy rain. The djsastrous i ui-u-quences of a consid erable rise in the rivers are so apparent that it is criminal negligence not tospecitily provide for the smile. Good bridges must be built, and the sooner steps are taken in that direction, the better. It is folly to wait until the present oiu s, erected only for an emer geuey, are swept away. But this is bound to come, ami everyday brings the date nearer, and if immediate action is not taken, wc will all sutler the consequences of the folly of delay. To provide for the emergencies that are filmost sure to overtake us, there should be foldings across the river, one near each bridge nt nnvrafe. But here are our borough authorities sitting on their haunches anil making no attempt to clear out a place for fording the river. Now, while the river is low, is the time to do this work, and not when the bridges are swept away by high waters, when there will be no convenience nor time for do ing the work. Johnstown always has had need for boats, the occasion Imsarisen frequently of In e. It will arise again and from past experiences it would seem an act of only ordinary prudence that the municipality should keep a few good boats at convenient places for public use Whether from iua -tivity, incompetency, or what, the t.-IHcinl* of Johnstown bor ough have bun very dilatory, and their inaction has caused much criticism, not only from tin citizens of the place but from people if distant places who have taken tin interest in our :"iirs. Now Mr. Largess, gentlemen of the Johnstown borough Council, as well as the officials • the aiij lining boroughs, it is time to v.ake up. K IUSC yourselves to Immediate ae'l >n, take cognizance of the wants of the people, uiul it is not too lute yet to partly redeem yourselves from the charges of incapability so freely made. Provision must he made for the high waters that are sine to come, and Un people wul stand by any proper measures yon may take for that purpose. Kiel-trie Genius. Gnlltl/ln Virn.li or. Masti.

To thr KM tor of lh ' John?- <•// Di'inocrat. 1 huve noticed in your paper several j times that prisoners were ordered to he ' taken to the hospital by the Burgess. Will you kindly intorm me where the hos pital is located, aud what doctor is in charge of it? Attxti G. With pleasure, Annie G. The hospital was, until recently, located by reason of a certain powerful agent over which the authorities lmd no control, near the cor ner of Lincoln and Walnut streets. Like \ Alladin's palace, it was transferred there i almost in the twiuking of an eye. Sev eral days ago it was removed by artisans experienced in the art of handling inck screws and rollers to its piuscui location on Market street near Main. It is a thing of beauty both internally and externally, but the inside rather overtops the out side. The physicians in charge are Drs. Horrell and Harris, anil tlieir knowledge of medico-legal law is profound. We would like to whisper in your left auricu lar, however, Annie, that Dr. Harris runs the shop. This in confidence. If you j would like to inspect the hospital, it is j probable there would be a good many yards of red-tape used before you could get a pass. The surest way to get a view of the frescoed walls and tread the mosaic floors is to put yourself outside about live quarts of beer and lay down some even ing, say on Washington street, near the B. &0. depot. After you have stretched your lithe form preparatory to a snooze, a pair of the Shah's dodos (they always travel in pairs) will swoop down on you and in the morning Dr. Harris will see that the portals am opened uuto you—for five days. | UelutMWd t Leeehborg.

Late Friday afternoon Clara May Castlow, aged live, and John and Lizzie Ripple, aged respectively six and eight years, were playing in the yard of a j neighbor, Mr. Fogle, with George Gey-1 hart, 1 ten. Bv some means a can, once used to | hold cough drops, but containg several •' pound of powder, was found by the chil- • dren. Little John Ripple went to the ! house for a match, young Gephurt gave i him his hat to put over the euu, and then J retiring a safe distance, watched hint ex- ( plode the " firecracker " as they called it. t In an instant there was a flash, and three 5 little blackened forms laying in the yard. Neighbors tenderly bore them to the house . and Doctor Kistlcr, who had been hastily summoLud, dressed their wounds. Little John was injured most severely. Hoi 'must have been bending over the car. when it exploded, for his face a d breast are severely burned ami also bis limbs.) C'lara Costlow was burned in tlie face and' stomach, it is feared they inhaled the flame and IJr. tCisller fears they cannot recover.
