FKI "CDENT HA UNISON'S ORIOIXAL
IDEA.
An exchange says admiringly that
*' President Harrison is carefully prudent
in look ing into and examining all appli
cants for office —that be laboriously
examines the claims of every
one recommended." This may be
true; but t'ue or not true many
leaning Republicans cast, west, north and
south, say he then procends to make ap
pi iuunents on a strictly new and original
principle, namely, by appointing some
One not recommended end about whom
be ki ows nothing. Original as the pro
ceediog is. it is to say the least no great
evidence of wisdom or statesmanship.
A CINIC'S QUEST* NS.
Speaking of a lately deaeascd General
this paragraph is going the rounds of the
papers: "At Aintietam, just after he
hud takeu the bridge, and while the
r fighting was almost hand-to hand, a Con
fi derate - officer gave htm the Masonic
sign. He recognized it'in&antly and sent
the officer -unharmed to the rear." A
cyßic asks, why ? The answer is they
both belonged to the same order. But
the cyuioeomcs back by asking, were
tlicy not both members of the great
brotherhood of mankind? Were they
not both Americans, and would not the
knowledge .of these facts had a similar
result 1 Or if both belonging to the same j
church, would such ties have been equally ]
availing ? Jf not, then c sel f-irnposed ;
obligation is stronger, and held more,
sacred than the common ties of universal
brotherhood—than those of n ature, or •
than those of religion. But we leave the
cynic to answer bis own question, and te
wrestle with his own problem.
A MAKVEIXOI/S NEW* l'Al' ER. j
A great, a wonderfully great newspa- 1
per is the New York World. Its rapid
and stupendous growth is really a phe
nominai wonder in the eyos <if alii men.
In May, 1883, when Joseph Pulii ter left
the West and bought out the IF 'jrld of-
fico, the paper hud but a limited < iircula
tion, and the venture was regari led by
shrewd business men as a hazardi >us un
dertaking. In liis salutatoiy, bo mod
estly said: "There is room in this great
city for a journal that is not only < tbeap,
but bright ; not only bright, but 1 urge ;
L not only large, but truly Democratii:—de
voted n.ore to things thai are new tl mn to
those that are old." Events have pi -ovod
< that there was room enoueli and to s pare.
The paper is simply a towering sue cess.
Its circulation for the week endini t on
the 19th of October, aggregated 2,26'. 1,690
copies. The average number of da ilies
for the past six mouths has run up to
342,206.
No wonder its proprietor is build ing
tho finest and largest printing house of
the world. It is to be 350 feet high, con
taining fourteen stories, and will most
over $2,000,000. The coiner stone ivas
laid a few days since, but the comer
stone of its unparalleled prosperity vras
laid when its present owner took char ge
of the paper.
tVHI THIS SILENCE?
Not a word do we hear from the class
of moraltzer's who sit in judgment upon
people who suffer from disasters, con
cerning the destruction of Dr. Talciage's
church by fire. Whore are tliev aud what
is the cause of their prolonged silence ?
Though twenty days cr more have elaped
since the catastrophe, not a word have
they said as to the reason of it. This is
the more strange because of their usual
promptness in giving the why and where
fore of calamities. Is their silence owing
to the fact that they cannot exactly har
monize tlicir pet theory with tlie event?
It a theater or place of secular amuse
ment had burned down, and a second one
erected on the same site had met with a
similar fate,and both had been destroyed on
Sundays, what logical deductions would
have been drawn therefrom. llow mani
fest in their eyes would it have been a
special visitation of Providence. But
th ougli the Brooklyn Tabernacle burned
down on Sunday, just as a former one
did that stood in the same place, the
moralizers who presume to know all
about Divine judgments, as they call
them, have failed to say anything about
the matter.

Mafly articles about the house may be
brightened wonderfully by theapplication
of bronzing. If you depend on the liquid
bronze, sold in small bottles, you will
fir. J that it costs considerable to cover
much surface, but if you buy bronze
powder, such as gas-fitters use on pipes,
and ,mix it; with a size of two parts lin
" seed oil and one pnrt coach varnish, you
Will find that a great deal may he done at
little cost. To use it, pour tome of the '
„ size into a shallow dish—a sauce plate is )
good—being sure to shake it up well
first, so that the oil and varnish will mix.
1 Put some of the powder in another plate.
Dip your brush into the size, and mix up :
~• a little of the powder at a time. It should 1
be thick enough to form a good body, and i
must not run. It dries rapidly. If the ,
lustre is not enough after once going over
the article, give it a second coat. Old !
frames can be made to look like new in '
this way. It can he applied to metal or

apply it satisfactorily. ,

Mr. Harri-on's blow below the belt,
which be hud administered to Senator
'Qaav by • ppointing Mr. Wanamaker's
man, Field, postmaster of Philadelphia,
was the political event of the week. As
this is not the Orst nor the second time
•Stoat Mr. Harrison has seen fit to go con
trary to the wishes of Mr. Quay, there is
much conjecture as to whether the latter
gentleman will quietly swallow it all, or
•whether he will attempt to fight back by
opposing in the Senate the confirmation
< of some of Mr. Harrison's appointments.
Your correspondent had a very interest
ing talk to-day, with a Democratic Sena
tor on the subject. He said: " It's a
Republican row, and I don't wish my
name connected with it, but my op'nion
. is that if Quay finds that be can obtain
the assistance of a sufficient number of
Senators, Republican or Democratic, to
defeat certain nominations, he will do it;
but if on the contrary he finds himself in
the minority, he will keep quiet and bide
. his time for his revenge upon Harrisou.
1 One thing you ma /be certain of,he will get
even with Mr. Harrison, unless one or the
other of them dies before the next Presi
dential campaign. Republicans are not
disposed to talk about the matter, except
among themselves. One Congressman
was asked his opinion of it. He said ;
" Oh, it's the Hayes administration re
peated. He is willing to accept the re
sult. but not willing to recognize the men
| who brought it about."
I The Civil Service Commission now has
■ an opportunity to show its metal. In the
face of its < I't i al to prosecute the mem
bers of the Old Dominion League, a Re
: publican club of this city, for sending
circulurs to all Virginia office holders,ask
-1 ing contributions to the Mabone cam
t paigu fund, the club had a man at every
j department to-day to receive contribu
tions, and they got them too. The mem
' hers of this club openly defy the Civil
Service Commission, and say they will
light the c'sc to the Uuited States Su
preme Court if necessary. Commissioner
Thompson says they will certainly be
prosecuted, but his Republican colleagues
have uot yet been beam from. The pub
! lie will anxiously watch the outcome of
, this case.
Nothing has yet been done about the
employes of the Pension Office who had
their pensions re-rated, although Commis
sioner R aum and Secretary Noble had a
long eon ferenoe on the subject this week.
One result of this conterence was the is
suing of an order by the Commissioner,
whieh shows what a limited confidence
the Secretary has in the employes of the
Pension Bureau. The order directs that
all claims iuvolving any considerable
amount of money shall be submitted to
the Commissioner for his approval before
tho peusion certificate is issued. The
new Commissioner has already gained the
name of hei ng completely ewned by Sec
retary Noble.
Senator Bs.rbour laughs at the idea of
bis being frightened at the prospect in
Virginia. Hit says that Mahone is as cer
tain to be defeated next Tuesday as the
sun is to rise on that day. It's an old
trick of the Democratic leaders in Vir
ginia to get up a little scare among the
rank and file of the party just before elec
tion. It makes the boys work, and
brings out the free vote.
The cattle men who have been doing
their best te put obstacles in the way of
the Commission now negotiating with the
Cherokeo Indians for the purchase of their
lands by the Government, in order to
open the Cherokee outlet to settlement,
have been brought up short by a notice
from the Interior Department to the
effect that they will not be allowed un
der any circumstances to renew their
lease of lands, and that they must remove
all their cattle from the same on or be
fore the first day of next June. This
showing of Government authority will
doubtless enable the Commission to bring
its negotiations to a speedy and success
ful close. It will also show the cattle
men that they cannot run this country to
suit their convenience.
The new srjuadron of United States
cruisers will visit Boston before sailing
for European waters. It will remain in
Boston harbor three days while the Inter
national Maritime exhibition is going on.
Representative Bynum, of Indiana,
thinks tho House should go slow in adopt
ing any set of rules that does not protect
the rights of the minority to as great an
extent as those which governed the last
House. In fact, he does not see any good
reason why those same rules should not
be adopted by the new House. He thinks
they have received a good deal of abuse
which they did not deserve.
The friends of the present civil service
law are bringing great pressure to bear
on Mr. Harrison, for tho purpose of get
ting liim to take such a strong stand in
his annual message to Congress in favor
of the present law, that it will scaro off
those Republican members of Congress
who have threatened to make a deadly
attack upon it.
Infallible Signs.

I To meet a funeral procession is a sign
lof death. To lose a pocketboek contain
ing bills of iarge denominations is con
sidered very unlucky. When a cat pre
pares to wash ber face it is a sign that
some one in the house will shortly receive
a licking. If you are in a house and hear
a baby cry it is a sign of marriage—or if
it isn't, it ought to be.

Novel and Useful.
Retail grocers, and other retail dealers
doing a credit business are adopting a
plan that is at once novel and decidedly
useful. They issue to their customers,
Coupon Rooks, (patented), similar to
Mileage Books for Railways, but instead
of the coupons being one mile, they are
for one cent each; the value of the hooks
varying from two to twenty dollars.
These coupons are good for their face
value in groceries or other merchandise
at the store of the firm issuing thorn.
When the books are issued, the dealer
charges his customer with the value of
the book. When pay-day comes the cus
tomer pays this amount, and meantime
uses the coupons for the purchase of sup
plies, same as paying cash, thus avoiding
nil disputed accounts and saving valuable
time to both the dealer and his customer.
Every retail dealer doing acredit business !
should adopt this plan, and should write I
the publishers for information, and if
every customer would insist upon his
dealer using them, there would be much
less occasion for the disputing of accounts.

KNIGHTS r ST. OKU KGK.
Installation of Company H at St. Josaph't
German Catholic Church—Parade.
Sunday morning the weather did not
look favorable, but before noon the
clouds began to scatter,and by the middle
of the day the sky was ciear. Gay rod
plumes attracted attention early in the
day. Several hundred of the Uniformed
Knights of St. George, belonging lo the
First Regiment, were present to witness
the installation of Company H, of this
city. Company II was organized Inst
spring, and the installation was to have
taken place the Sunday after the fl am,
but, of course, it could not talo- place
then. One member, Mr. Jacob Malm,
was drowned.
The members prepared themselves by
receiving the Saciamcnt of the Eucharist
in the morning. All the visiting Knights
were dined in Oswald's new hall, Clinton
street. From there they marched to St.
Joseph's German Catholic Church. Cone
maugh borough, where Pontittci.il Ves

swords were blessed immediately after.
In the procession to the church they wv:e

of the occasion.
ILOFED IN HER NIGHT CLOTHES.
Mounted ou a Meet Hortw She Itnde Away
Hehiiul Her Young J.orliiuv ar.
Tlie Arkansas Register.
An elopement took piace recently in
Port Smith that for unique development
rivals anything oa record. John Meadors
had for a long time been clandestinely
making love to Miss Josephine Craia. the
daughter of a well-known citizen. Miss
Crain's father objected, as some fathers
have away of doing, and the love-lorn
swain bethought himself of a ruse whereby
he might foil papa. When finally the old
gentleman began to talk of doing some
shooting, if his intentions were persisted
in, Meadors determined that the time had j
come to act.
Bo he fixed it up witli Miss Crain, and
this morning they had arranged to flee
ere the cock crew. John went to the
house before daylight aud entered liis
sweetheart's room, but it was sometime
before he could arouse her. The noise
awoke the old man, and he came charg
ing in just as Meadors went out the win
dow. The old man made chase, and
Meadors gave him the slip around the
house, where he jumped on his horse,
quickly followed by Miss Crain in her
night clothes, who perched astraddle be
hind him while the horse lit out in the
orthodox Lochinvar fashion.
Papa, now considerably irate, gave
chase, but he couldn't keep up with the
nag, and the couple soon gave him the
slip in a corn patch, where Mtadors se
creted his shivering sweetheart, while he
rode back to town for a drees and a jus
tice. An hour later the two were married
under the spreading branches of a pecan
tree.
THE FOKOE TO BE INCREASED.
The I)eu<t Are Now Searched for in Three
Localities—Oue Hotly Found Saturday.
The work of searching for the dead is
being vigorously pushed. 'The work is
now in progress in three places. One
forco is working in thu Conemnugh back
of where Mr. James P. McConaughy's
new brick block stood. Wire, roots and
other debris make the removal of the
sand and muck difficult. This force is
under Mr. Wm. Drew, and fouad a body
to-day. Three of the four bodies already
found were uncovered by Mr. Drew's
men.
Another force is at work on thu Mill
vine side of the Conemaugh, opposite the
Point. This is the largest force and con
sisted yesterday of about fifty men and
twenty teams.
Saturdday a force of men was employed
in Woodvale, and while they removed de
posits from the river and elsewhere they
will form an embankment to shut out the
river. A much larger force will be em
ployed there to-day, when the work of
•leasing out the cellars will begin.
Surprise parties are budding.
REMOVING THE DEAD
The Work Continue.—Forty-live Ilodlee Re
moved Saturday—Four Identification*.
The work of removing the dead from
Prospect progressed rapidly Saturday,
Forty-five bodies being removed. This ,
was more than on any one day previous. !
There were four bodies identified.
Mr. John W. James, who before the
fifood lived at 55 Main street, was present,
and id> ntifled the body of his wife. The
body of a child bore some resemblance to
a lost one of his but it could not be pos
ilively identified.
The body of Mrs. Elizabeth Schatz, of
No. 125 Union street,, and tout of her
daughter Annie were both identified
by Mrs. Schatz's son.
A body was raised in the afternoon
t tat was thought by Dr. YVakeßeld to be
that of Miss Frankie Wagoner, daughter
of Dr. George Wagoner, of Market street.
There will be further attempts to identi
fy the body before it is buried. Dr. Wag
oner. his wife, two single daughters, a
married daughter, Mrs. Frank Bowman,
ol Woodvale. her husband and their two
children, were all lost. They have all
been found except Miss Frankie.
A son of Peter Mullin, Sr., of Coue
miugh borough, recognized a body as
that of his father. Mr. Mullin was a
sncarman in the Gautier Works, and left
a large family.
A great many people, mostly women,
1 have been present all the time, hoping to
mid some missing friend or relative. As
.any as live hundred are thought to have
1 been present yesterday.
The work is pursued systematically.
When a coffin containing a child is to he
opened one group of anxious watchers
! gathers around, and when a large coffin is
to be opened another group forms a
circle to examine carefully the remains as
the lid is raised. And there are some
who watch every corpse in the hope of
finding at least oue member of a whole
fan ily that is slill missing.
Yesterday afternoon the workmen be
gan opening a very small coffin. As usual
a large crowd was anxiously watching.
When the coffin was opened it was louiid
to contain a foot and part ola leg badly
burned. The fool hail on a holy's but
toned shoe. It was likely ail that re
mained of some body that had been
burned at the bridge.

The subjeet of this notice died t his
residence on Coal street. Conemaugh bor
ough at 5:30 o'clock Sunday moruing
in the Fifty-second year of his age. He
was born at Galhnusen, Ilesse Darmstadt,
Germany, on February 22, 1838, and emi
grated in company of his father and
brother Jacob to this country in 1848, his
mother dying on board the steamer dnr

He was twice married, his wife being
Christina Dumm, who bore him seven
children, all of whom are dead except bis
son Charles, who rosides on Prospect.
His second wife was Mrs. Lena Brown,
of Conemaugh borough, by whom he is
survived. Mr. Bloeh was a victim of the
late flood, barely escaping with his life
and had resided on Railroad street for a
number of years before that event, where
he kept a grocery store for the past two
vears. Mr. Bloeh was a prudent, thought
ful man nnd good ne'glibor, and will be
greatly missed by those who knew him
best. Burial services will be held at his
late residence on Coal street to-morrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock, after which his re
mains will be Interred in Sandyvale.
The Temporary llridges.
Many of our pcoplo feel much concern
about the temporary bridges that now
connect different parts of the city. If
tlisy should be taken away by high water
would put many people to great incon
venience and loss. In this connection it
it may bo interesting to note the follow
ing action recently taken by the Flood
Finance Committee, after hearing the re
port of Mr. Schenk:
Resolvtd, lliat tbeexisting temporary bridge
on tlie site of Lincoln bridge be replaced
by a wooden truss bridge to be placed at an ele
vation o£ four feet above tlie present abutments,
and that the Councils of the boroughs of Johns
town and MUlvlUe bo requested to authorlro
such construction and the change of grade re
quired therefor.
Jtenulml, 'l hat such work should bo done to
the Franklin street bridge, Woodvate bridge,
Poplar street bridge and the Cambria bridge in
the way of sheathing and weighting the plersas
will tend to strengthen them, aud that a re
serve oi lumber for bridge construction shall be
provided and kept In readiness to quickly re
place such of tlieso bridges as may oe carried
away by floods.
Hesolted, That Joseph Morgan, Jr., be re

Conemaugh Valley Relief Committee
were $510,937.69, and the disbursements
to date, $500,737.84. This does not in
clude the several hundred thousand dol
lars sent directly, and which did not go
through the hands of the committee. The
collecting, acknowledging, and transfer
ring of this money has been done without
any cost whatever to the fund.
Mr. J. B. Kremer, Secretary of the
Flood Relief Commission, wrote to tha
Mayor two weeks ago, asking for a full
list of contributors to the relief fund.
The Executive Committee instructed the
Secretary lo reply to Mr. Kremer that a
full list of the -ulißCribers to the relief
fuud can not he supplied, and that the
committee prefer to supply no list rather
than an imperfect one. ~
Ii is estimated that New York City con
tributed about $900,000 in money and
other contribution* to the relief of the
people in the >. oneinuiigh Valley.

The Qallitziu Water Company is mov
ing things. They have contracted with
P. E, Swartraont, of Altoona, for a reser
