The following M ramie storr is tele graphed fro n Wiitcrbiiry, Connecticut : r.. M. Andrews. weidlh architect and builder was reported murdered in Floiida by angry Macks, on January 1. 1880. and his supposed widow, a resident of NttU galuck, colli i ted part of I lie insurance 011 his life. There is positive evidence now that Andrews is alive and well, and will soon return to his friends in Connecticut. ! Mrs. Andrews, who is now in Ridge- i field, has gladly consented to doll the , weeds of mourning, and to welcome ! back her wandering husband, and he is said to be waiting only for a satisfactory arrangement with the Masonic fraternity, whereby the insurance money paid by them to his wife shall be refunded, when he will step out of his hiding-place. On the authority of 11. C. Baldwin, of Nau gatuck, it is asserted that Andrews is in Portland. Oregon, where, when a young man, he lived for a time, and was getting along prosperously. The history of Mr. Andrews from Jan. 1, 18SG, to (lie present time is involved in mystery. Some darkly hint at a Southern romance, a 1 others talk of mental aber ration, from which he has only just re , covered. E. M. Andrews came fo Nan tuck with his wife in 1881. lie had been , a resident >. I'lainfield, Conu., and it was in the villa , of Moosun, in the township of Plainfleld, that lie met Mrs. Andrews, then a Miss Hill. He had served 111 the war of the rebellion, and had been wound ed iu the arm. This wound resulted in the drawing up of two of the lingers of his left baud, and lie received a pension from the Government up 10 the time of his dis appearance. He was a graduate of Slief tield Scientific School and of Vale Col lege. Mr. Andrews hail obtained thecon trai t for • . '.ion of the Town Hall in NiuigalilcK. 1 was for the purpose uf being near f'.li work that he took up his residence there. This is one of the hand somest structures in the town, but is said to have been built in-ecurcly, the rear resting on sauu., and sinking ground. Mr. Andrew's prom- from the contract are es timated at v io,ooo. At Waterbury lie designed and constructed the church edi fice on Grand -treet, the most modern . house of worship in the valley. While en > ling Ihc' buildings Mr. An drews made hosts of friends, among theiu such men of influence its E. L. Riggs, of Seymour, ('. K Mnllby. of New Haven, and N. A. .. .u. ,1 Bristol. These men he induced mtn wcral monev-mttk ing scheme . 1 hiin. in 1536 Air. An drews got the Florida fever and went to see the famou- Deland. who lias made a fortune col< i> .t he flowery State. He became enthusiastic on the money to be made ;t Florida lumber, mid canto Norm. Mr. i'iallby put 2.00 ft into the venture. Messrs. Riggs nud Alvord went South with him witeu he returned to Florida, lie went in a schooner lilted out expen sively a' Ni v 11. ycn. and landed at l'a latka. Tiic .i'c lie went up the river to Delund, and tie : co four ntiles further into the sw in. and forests of Highland Park, where he established the second largest sawmill iu that Btate on the land of Major Nfirris, who atlvauced some money to gel the enterprise located there. He obtained one big railroad coutraet,but after that he failed disastrously, lumber going down to eight dollars and ten dol lars. Still he worked hard and tried to pull through. It is said lie treated his ' black help like a slave driver, and many threats were made against his life by them. His wife weut to Florida that win ter and stayed with him The following summer Air. Andrews was troubled with malarial fever, and at times, it is said, showed symptoms of in sanity. He got behind in business and became very discouraged, lie raised all he could on his Naugattick property, and got the advances from his father-in-law, A. R. Hill, of Moosun. The next heard of him was the tumor that lie had disap peared mysteriously. His brother-in law, W. R. Young, had gone down to sec him on January 3, and learned that noth ing had been heard of him for a week or more. A reward of $5OO was offered for any news of him, dead or alive, and n placard containing this announcement, with his picture and a full description of him, was scattered ail over the fc'tate. Attorney Baldwin of Nuugatuck was employed by the distressed wife to go to Florida and make a search for him. He had been seen at Deland on December 28,1885, and and on January 1, 1886, be was seen in AVightman A (.'ristopher's store oil Bay street, Jacksonville. That was the last] heard of litrn far as known. lit, part- j tiers subsequently attempted to c ,rry 011 the bttsines without him, but i year following tin whole establishment ..timed down without insurance. The evidence that Andrews had been murdered by some one of his help was thought to be so conclusive by the .Ma sonic fraternity, 0 which Andrews be longed, that the $2,000 insurance he had in their association was paid over to Mrs. Andrews, and she, in turn, paid Mr. Alaltby the money lie had lent her hus- JOHMSTOWN, CAMBRIA COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1889. band. The man's property, valued at 1 nearly $40,000, was heavily mortgaged, j and the Nuugatuck Bank forclosed, and 1 for a while carried the estate, until the j father of Mis. Andrews, who had a second I mortgage, purohushed j! for his daughter Ito help Iter alone. She tried to collect a \ $lO,OOO policy on his life held by a Hart- ! ford company but they refused to pay, ! supposing him alive, and the woman, rather than bother with a lawsuit, let the matter drop. Since Ids departure the es | tatc became somewhat complicated, and now that he is proved alive many suits ' arc apt to follow. When lie returns, as I is expected in a few thus. there will he much interest in the tale of his rumblings for the past three years. Andrews was of more than medium height, with sandy beard and dark eyes. As a business man lie was shrewd and ca pable, and lie was an interesting talker on familiar subjects. How We Look to Stranger*. A citizen of Chester county visited this city a few days ago. and gives to the West Chester Jfffernunian Iti.s impressions. He Bays that although the debris occasioned by the flood litis been largely removed, lite place is still a scene of des olation and distress. To one unacctu toin il to the sight it produces a feeling of gloom and depression, and unleso a per son's presence is required iu affording re lief to sufferers or in assisting to rebuild the waste places the desolate spot is left behind with a feeling of satisfaction such as would be experienced if some great sense of depression had been removed. The evidences of tlie terribly destructive effects of the raging torrent continue to be visible on every side, although not so striking its they were weeks ngo. The odor is very offensive, and cannot fail to pollute the atmosphere and render 'the locality unhealthy, lit conversed with several intelligent sufferers whose appear ance indie;.vd that the great calamity hud Impressed upon them an air of ex treme deji. tion. They referred to the distribution of the immense fund that had been sn liberally contributed for helping the people as prodding with apparent delay, which to sotne appeared unnecess ary: but not a single intimation was made that the nt mcy was not being used in a strictly honorable manner. Air. James" McAlillen, the chid official of,the distrib uting committee, said that any sums which itad not been forwarded would be gladly received and employed for the purpose designed with as much prompti tude us is consistent with the exercise of I sound die-action. A considerable amount |is yet required to relieve immediate wants. O, eoutse, the just and prop, , disbuisciucul of so large a fund demands the utmost care and judgment. He forth :■ said that if those entrusted with the a:, at raised in West Chester, or other | lut s. | referred to attend to its •Itstc. utlon personally on the ground liter would 1.0 kindly received by the < committee, and any information desired would be cheerfully given them. If sent I to the Finance Committee it would be j handled to the best possible advantage.' and Hit } would lie pleased if il would be lorwar . d at an early day. Kilted mi the Pennsylvania Rnllroaili Air. William Hurlehy has becu taking contracts for the cleaning out of cellars, and boarded with Mrs. O'Neal at No. 6 Center street, Prospect. On his way to his boarding house shortly afternoon on Saturday, in crossing the P. It. R. tracks he crawled under a stationary freight train which moved before lie could get out and fataliy crushed him, injuring him iu the breast and mangling one leg. Air. Gibson, of the Cambria Hospital, bound up the wound as best he could, and 11 stretcher being procuicd the wounded man was taken to the P. it. it. station to await the arrival of a doctor, who came but did not nt oiloe attend him and he was taken to the Red Cross Hos pital. After his removal there he was cared for by Drs. H. F. Beam and J. ('. Sheridan, but their work was in vain. A messenger went for a priest of St. John's Church, but both were sick, and j before Father Alto, of the German Cat 1.-. olic Church, arrived the tnan was dead. The remains were taken to Henderson Alorguc, where they now arc, and pre pared for burial, which will be in Lower Yoder cemetery. The home of Air. Hurlehy, was in Brooklyn, where he was employed as a clerk in the postollice. Ills father is David Hurlehy, a cooper by trade, w-lto lias three other sons and one daughter. For some time the unfortunate young man has been employed at Little Washington, at a good salary, leaving on hearing of ottr disaster he came here ! several days after and took charge of a \ gang of men tinder Mr. McKnight. ! Mr. Ilarrigan, who is married to a cousin, came yesterday from New York to perfect arrangements for the funeral, i which will take place to-day from St. j John's Church and to see after his effect - lie was twenty-seven years of age.

CLARA BARTON. : How 'rills Distinguished I-aily HUH Been | ! Received nt Milwaukee—Showered With M;rlte<l Honors. The following i a ptuLof u letter re eeived by the editor of this paper, from a i lady in Milwaukee who has noticed the | way Miss Clara Barton has been received j i in that city at the meeting of the Women's Belief Corps and by the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic. The letter was not intended for publication, but it contains so much that will be of interest to our renders, that we publish a part of it: PI.ANKINUTON House, 1 MILW AUKEE, WIS., August 29.) Mr. Woodruff. Peeling sure you will be interested in Miss Barton's days away from your city, I shall try to give you a brief outline of some of her days. Arriving Tuesday be fore the parade, she very naturally was put into the first carriage and to her own amazement she found herself heading the procession. Not being present, you know from papers more than I, as I've not read them. Wednesday we started for the National Convention of Women's Re lief. I inclose a short account of the proceedings. Miss Barton's speech was the speech of the morning, and anyone hearing her quiet voice in the four walls of the little oflice in Johnstown, can have no conception of the lull, clear, beauti fully modulated voice that filled from fioor to ceiling every hit of space in the large room. It was a surprise to me. How 1 wish I had time and space to tell you of the ovation. As she stepped from the carriage how the women from every State came to pay their respects. How she had sent this one the first news of her husband's safety, how she had givcu this one aid in great financial distress, how this one she wrote for, and another re leased from prison : eacli and all had something to remember ami for which to he thaflkful and bless her for. It was beautiful to me to witness the women of America doing homage to the one woman who has doi'e'more to bless her race than any other. A reception followed the Convention ; then another tendered her by the Potomac j Post. One feature of the evening was the j coming of " Tic Old Guard " to do her honor. After this reception site went to " Tlie Red Cross, of Milwaukee," the tents of which are pitched on the beauti- I fid lake, and it was a titling climax to a ) wonderful day. i To-day. Thursday, she holds a public reccptiouat (lie Plankington, wiicc !u j headquarters are. One of the gentlemen | of the city, Major Rogers, gives her iiis beautiful ottiee at the Plunkington, and we steal away at night to Mr. Spencer's home on the lake, where the beauty aud stillness are perfect rest. The stream of veterans tliat have streamed in since early morning, still pour in, and we have to just, leave all for | a cup of tea. Mrs. Logan now sends I word she will be in to pay her respects. ' and so the days ai d nights are full of in ! eidents never to be forgotten. Milwaukee |is so beautiful. Our host, Mr. R. C. Spencer, lives on Prospect avenue, right On tin; Lake, so in going {0 headquarters, at tlie iManiuligioil we see much of the oily, aud tlie magnificent decorations. General Sherman and Mrs. Logan ami Miss Bartou share the honors of the day, and it is a constant stream, their rooms arc all in tlie same corridor, and the num ber that come is innumerable. We go now to the public drawing room where .Miss Barton and Mrs. Logan received to gether from 3 to <i. Wc can scarcely realize, in this beauti ful, festal city, with its thousands of peo ple, all out for a holiday, that we have just come out from all the shadow and sorrow of your own home. You may be 9urc all the nation is interested in you, and, are glad aud anxious to hear any thing we may have to tell of you. Miss Barton never fails to tell how bravely and well you bear your awful calamity. Hop ing soon to be tvith you. * * * * * CureftfthiK flio Lucky ♦loliiiMtown Bitby. j Bill Nye in his European notes of Sun . day has the following : " The Johnstown baby, whose name is Moses Williams, came over on a recent trip of the City of Chicago, according to Surgeon Peter Mc- Sweeney. The Johnstown baby was named Moses because he was found on the llood, not exactly among the bull rushes, but born on the bosom of the ter rible deluge, while his mother's house was floating down to death and destruc tion. It is not necessary to say that Moses owned the ship. He got about $75 from enthusiastic Americans on board and practically was monarch of all he sur veyed. He was lucky to put off his birth day till the time of the terrible flood, for Pharaoh's daughter in tlie shape of Amer ican generosity lias rescued him from ob i scarify and poverty, and hereafter when lie says, "My name is Moses William-, 1 ! was born on tlie breast of that terrible j torrent in Johnstown," the ready wallet will come forth and Moses will be on deck if tlie light goeth out." Accident nt Steel Work*. ' Mr. John Link, of Rosedalc. while at | work last week in tiie Steel Works, severely crushed his hand. He will be 1 aid p for a week or so. FATAL ItUKNING. I Agnes Fitzgerald the Victim of a Can of Kerosene Exploding. Previous to the flood a family name' l Fitzgerald, consisting of five children and the mother, lived on Iron street. The ■ mother was drowned and iter home washed away by lite waters. The chil dren remaining were Alary, Alaggie, John. Stephen and Agnes aged about twelve. The boys work for the Cambria Iron Company. Agues had lately returned from an eight weeks' visit to Cleveland, and was staying a few days with Airs. Wm. Rogers, on Coal street, Prospect. On Saturday afternoon Airs. Rogers left the house, telling Agnes to take a can of kerosene oil, sitting on the porch and put it out of the reach of the ten months old baby. The child set it on the rear of a large range and continued her work of ironing. As she was standing before the stove the can exploded enveloping her in a sheet of flame. She ran into the arms of a neighbor Airs. Dice. A Air. Riley attcmpfed to subdue the flames by dashing water on the suffering girl, but they were only smothered when a blanket was thrown around iter by two men, Alessrs. AValker and Delnney. Airs. Jerome and Doctor Aiatthews soon arrived and did all they could to alleviate iter suffering. Although she was perfectly conscious and talked to her friends, she was beyond human aid, having inualed some of the flame, and shortly after 11 o'clock on Saturday night, expired. Thu baby, which was in one corner of the ten by twelve foot kitchen, escaped unharmed. The funeral will take place front the residence of her uncle, Air. A. Conway, 011 Fairfield avenue, Morrollville. No definite time has yet been set. On the 26th of October she would have been twelve years of age. j Memorial .Service ol Knights of Pythias. The impressive memorial services of the Ifnights of Pythias, were Sunday observed iu Altna Hall. They were opened by a hymn by the choir " 1 Would I Not Live Alway," followed by an elo -1 quent address by Col. Linton. After an other hymn a procession was formed headed by tlie Hussar Band and seventy two Uniformed Knights, accompanied the hearse bearing the remains of one ol their number, Air. Elmer J. Brinkey, to the plot of ground in Grand View belong-" ing to the organization. Several catri- I ages also were in the procession convev j ing friends, among thent Mr. Statler, of Stoyeslowa, who itad been ,rs u fat.tor to both Elmer and his brother Dr. Brinkey. and a Air. Ziaini rtnan. At the grave the I exercises of the Order for such an occa sion were performed. The baud played the beautiful hymn "Nearer My God to Thee." The con nony was concluded by a short exorcise e lied " taps" by Alessrs. Shellenberger and Snyder, cornetists Matty a tear unrestrained fell from the eyes of the assembled multitude, for, 'j many, this was again the re-burving of their friends, whom they laid away who . 1 there was no time for tears. Fe.v 1110: . solemn funerals have here ever occurred. Iu addition to the Uniformed Ranks were fifty-four members in line.

Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sunday. Col. T. J. Hudson, Treasurer of the Ala sonic Relief Committee of Pittsburgh, for tlie Johnstown flood sufferers, is prepar ing his report of moneys received and dis bursed, and will present it to the Com mittee within a week or ten days. In cash contributions the Committee raised nearly $6,500, whiclt was outside of var ious gifts of clothing and provisions. Af ter the first few weeks at Johnstown the disbursement of money was confided to a Committee of Johnstown .Masons,which has since had exclusive control of Masonic donatious. A check of $2,300 was sent to the Johnstown Committee last Tuesday, clearing up the amount of money still re maintning in the Pittsburgh Committee's hands, with the exception of $5OO, which will be used in aiding several women who are now in this city under maintenance. In speaking yesterday of the contribu tions of the Grand Lodge of this State, Air. James S. McKcon said that tlie Treasurer of the Grand Lodge would make his report next Wednesday t the annual meeting of tlie Grand Lodge in Philadelphia. The amount given to Johnstown Masons by the State Grand Lodge will aggregate over $60,000, winch, considering the limited membership of the fraternity in the i!l-f,ited city, shows j that the aid extended has been adequate j to relieve distress. 1:0; (.Its <:s \ TRAIN.
