The Democrat.) FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15,1889. - Of It QUESTION DRAWER. Our inquisitive friends arc asking many questions, some of which are pretty hard o answer. Below will be found a few of kern : Thn übiquitous " Inquirer " asks : Why do such men as the lamented lion. 8. 8. Cox, of New York, die, and such as pugilistic bruisers live? An swer : We give it up. The inveterate " Constant Reader " wants to know why we refuse to pitch into what tie calls our utterly incompetent local officers? We answer by asking, why don't he do it over his own proper signature ? That ever on the wing " Rara Avis," asks : Why do reporters run every new word and phrase, such as " concensus " and "hi the near future," into the ground by painful reiterations ? Answer : Pre sumably for the same reason that he uses " rara avis " instead of rare bird. Seo ? The correspondent who always writes over a " star " asks : Please give the name of tlie author of " Step Down and Out ? " Answer : As it was not Shake speare, as lie guesses, it was Henry Ward Beeclier. "A Democrat" is anxious to know why Gov. Hill, in one of bis late speeches, said : " I didn't bring my encyclopedia with me ? " Was it," be asks, " intend ed as a mere joke, or as a slur on ex-President Cleveland ?" Answer: If intended as a joke, it is one of those ugly kind called joking on facts ; but if used as a slur, it is generally thought It was "a hit, a very palpable bit." Our tried and trusty friend (so well known to all editors) "Consistency," asks: Is there any justice to donors and suffer ers in spending a large per cent of inouey contributed for our flood sufferers in distributing it ? Answer: As the per centage of the amount that will be appro priated thus will not be known until the accounts are audited, an answer cannot bo given. The irrepressible "Citizen" who is always on the alert, comes at us with the query: Who called the meeting and how many of our citizens were present when the so-called local Finance Commit tec was appointed, and to which Governor Beaver frequently refers? Answer: Not knowing we cannot tell. "A Republican" asks: Why is it when our party puts a full county ticket befoio the people that all efforts to elect center only upon one of the nominees? Answer: As the Republicans are in a hopeless minority in the county, their only hope is to elect one of their candidates, which can only be done by barter and sale—in other word.- by the use of money and trading voles. The not-often-lieard-of "Paul Pry," wants an opinion as to the most success ful way of pryiug into the doings of the secret meetings held by Governor Beav er's State Relief Committee. Answer: Interview a Washington, correspondent who gets at all the secrets of the Presi dent's Cabinet. "A young lady," pretty as she is mod •st, asks: Is it proper for a young lady to permit a young man to kiss her prior to a marriage engagement? Answer: That depends—well, say, on circum stances, as circumstances govern cases, if the act involves publicity, we should say, no; but i f it is done "decently and in order," that is, not boisterously, and on the sly, our answer is, yes. "A no,'ice" pops the following interro gation : Do the rules of table etiquette ever justify the act of eating peas with anything but a fork ? Answer: Oh, yes; ooth nature and propriety largely teach that the better way, indeed, the proper way, is to eat them with your teeth ; as leeth are for that purpose, while a fork would be a stupendous failure. "A young man" asks: In walking with a lady in a public place, such as in a fair ground, on which side of her should he walk? Answer: On the outside, of course. The time honored "Subscriber" writes: Please settle a dis puted point as to the author of the saying that "The child is father to the man." Was it Shakespeare or Bacon? Answer: It was neither of them. It was one of the fumous aphorisms of Words wort b. "One of the Curious" asks: Where can [ find the origin of the expression "That it is a wise child that knows its own father?" Answer: It would be impossi ble to tell who first used it—probably sonie careless reader of Shakespeare, who got.the cart before the horse. What the great poet jvrote is, "It is a wise father that knows his own child." "Merchant of Venice," Act 2, Scene 2. One who signs himself "A Learner," writes thus: Do you know which one of our modern humorists originated the slang phrase, "Too thin?" Answer: It Is not of modern origin; neither is it slau . in . hakespearc's "King Henry VIII, Act fi, Scene 1, King Henry replies to the Li . op of Winchester by saving that hi:, reasons "aro too thin and base to hide o'.Le.s.

It the I>e) -,'••• tic vote? La-' No- I em r more 1,,;.n 98,000 Democrat: voted I s •i Cleveland ; this November something ' 1 over 48,000 voted for Bigler; 50,000 Democrats are missing, fur more than half the total Democaatic vote. What a severe indictment is this of the present D niucratic Leadership and recent tactics i/l Uie organization 1 It will be said thut Republicans also are very short. That is true ; but they poll nearly 83,000 out of 110,000 cast for Har rison last year. The Republicans lose 35,000 out of 110,000, while the Demo crats lost 50,000 out of 93,000. The reported Governor-elect of Ohio is a Randall Democrat, and naturally there are those who will make note of the fact that it is worth while at tunes to have, in a closely contested State, a Randall Dem ocratic candidate on the ticket to give it strength and safety. And there will be other observing voters also who will con trast the wise policy of the Ohio Demo cratic organization with the unwisdom of that new regime in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, supported aud encouraged and nominated by those who tolerate the " hissing " of Randall's name. Another marked surprise is the miscal culation made by the astute Jersey Re publican leaders who expected to run Abbett to the girth, and possibly unhorse him by the fierce onset made by the bat talions of Cavalryman Grubb. It is not often that those leaders are the victims of surprise, and it may be worth their while to go deeply into an inquiry to as certain "what's the matter," for the chances were wide open for Democratic defeat, because of the bad behavior of the Democratic Legislature—if for no other reason. Mahone's mortifying collapse is another astonishing phenomenon in Virginia poli tics. Beyond all question the streneth of parties is very evenly balanced in the Old Dominion when divided sharply and ex clusively on party lines—yet here is the Republican organisation, under the mar shalship of its shrewdest, ablest, most adroit organizer, and most daring and resolute leader, routed horse and foo'—- overwhelmed by numbers that no one dared to hazard in an estimate before the election. The one only issue was Mabone and anli- Mabone, for politics are purely personal matters with him. The decision is Vir ginia's protest against any more Mahone politics, and all men may rejoice in the verdict—for Mahone politics are bad poli tics all the time. It was anticipated by all but himself and those inoculated with his virus, that he would be defeated, but it \va3 not expected that his horsemen and chariots would bo so totally sub merged in another Egyptian sea. And lowa claimed as having gone Democratic! Can that be ? Every ene who knows well the politics of the Noith west will naturally suggest a suspension of public opinion on that. But the bare thought that there is even room for such a claim is calculated to take the hi cath of a loyal Republican who remembers lowa's forty-thousand majorities of r few years ugo. THE REASON NOT PLAIN AS A PIKESTAFF. From Quay's Philadelphia Inquirer. Fuller returns of Tuesday's elections show curious results In some of the States. Ohio and lowa have elected Democratic Governors, while Massachu setts has had a narrow escape. In New York the Democratic majority is larger than for some years, and there has been an increase in both New Jersey and Vir ginia. and enormous one in the latter State. These facts serve only to give emphasis to the great victory achieved by the Re publicans of Pennsylvania. This is nl most the one State voting on Tuesday where the Republicans did not lose at least in some degree. There was not only no loss of party prestige in this State, but there a decisive gain in the Re publican majority, which gives us more than was ever before returned in a year when no candidate more important than State Treasurer was to be elected. Some of the reverses in the other States will be charged to local causes, and in some instances they have had their influ ence, but local causes do not lead to such general disasters when the party is full of vitality and enthusiasm. lowa and Ohio do not go Democratic when the Repub licans have any encouragement to see that they go Republican. There is some thing more than local causes in the result in these States. What Pennsylvania did was due to good leadership, a popular candidate, and to the ability of the Republicans of this State to create their own enthusiasm and see that Pennsylvania is kept at the head of the column of Republican States. There will he many cllorts to explain the difference between the result in Pennsylvania and the other States, but few will give the real reason. Penn sylvania Republicans follow their own leaders and they lead to victory. WHIN we begin operations as a city, it would be well to look after the widening of some of our thoroughfares. This mat ter should receive attention before build ings uro erected. Locust street should lie opened from Market to Park Place. Iron street, from the Pennsylvania railroad to the stone bridge, is too narrow. This mutter should not be delayed till too late. There is also other stieets, the widening of which would be n great benefit. The great inconvenience of narrow streets is very troublesome in many large cities. Tie -r.

NEW YORK Sun : The party of the Em pire State is victorious and solid in its own strength. It is democratic from the foundation way up to David B. Hill at the top. SOME years ago Virginia repudiated her debt. Her repudiation of Mabone on Tuesday was much more to her credit, however. AI.I.KCIUKNY county elected a Demo cratic District Attorney, and Huntingdon county a Democratic Sheriff. TIIK Prohibitionisls, it is evident from Tuesday's vote will have to take a fresh Btart. MCKINNKY'S majority over Malione in Virginia, has already readied over 41,000. BOTH LEGS TAKEN OFF. Mr. Antiioay OloHier Meets With a Ter rible Accident. Mr. "Andy" Qlosser lias long been well known to mauy people of Johnstown. His home is near the village of St. Bonl facius not far from Hastings. He was employed for some time by the firm of Geis, Joslertfc Quinn, and later by Mr. John I. Hornick as bartender. Since lad spring he was employed by L. M. Woo'f & Son as a salesman. 1 On Wednesday evening Mr. Glotser ' left his employer's store-room about 10 o'clock. About midnight he wai seen by some parties. Saturday morning, between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, as Engineer William Sweeney, with the engine " Indiana, " WHS returning from having taken a train out the Baltimore & Ohio to the yard, be saw a man lying on the track at the upper end of the Clinton street crossing. It was impossible to get stopped before the engine had passed where the man was lying. It was then found that both legs had been ground off the man. Joseph Beiter, who keeps a saloon near l y, was aroused and the injured man was taken to his place. It was there learned that the man was Andy Qlosser. He was laid on a board and taken on the engine to the Pennsylvania Railroad sta tion, and from there carried to the Cam bria Hospital. Drs. W. B. Lawman and J. C. Sheridan were summoned. They aaw at once that both legs would have to be amputated. Glosser moaned some all the while, but was unconscious. Father Alto was summoned, and fearing that he would not survive the severe operation of two amputations, auuointed him. The doctors then proceeded and amputated both legs below the knee Glosser still remained unconscious and apparently in sensible of what was taking place till about 8 o'clock yesterday moruiug. lie was visited by Mr. L. M. Woolf early in the forenoon, and talked to him. lie seemed very much distressed at his condition, and burst into tears when Mr. Woolf came to where he was. His relatives have been notilied and arc expected to-day. The chances are that lie will recover, being a man of strong physical vigor, but the idea of having to passthroifh the world without feet dis courages him very much. Last night at a late hour he was reported as doing well. How lie came to he lying on the track seems to be clouded in mystery, being unable to account for it himself. How ever, there are opinions in regard to it. CONK3IAUGH VALLKY SCHOOLS. Funds Knitted by Westmoreland Pupils For the Flooded District. Grecnsburg Democrat.

In a case recently tried in tho Allegheny County Court the jury, after being out six hours, sent down word to Judge White that they were unable to agree 011 a ver dict, the jury standing eleven to one, and the one would not give in. Judge White had the jury brought into court, aud in kind but firm words informed them that he was surprised that they could not agree. The case was a trilling one, and involved hardly anything more titan the question of costs, as lie had intimated in his charge. His Honor stated that the probability was that the one juror was wrong, as there were eleven chances that way. The juror should feel that the eleven were as honest and intelligent as he was. It was not a question of con science witli jurors; that is a mistaken itlen ; it is simply a question of judgment, and a minority could agree without in jury to the conscience. His Honor stated that lie could not think of discharging the jury, and hoped they would reach a ver dict in a few minutes. Tito obstinate juror was evidently impressed with the Judge's remarks, as he immediately gave in to tho other eleven, and without leaving tiic box a verdict of not guilty was handed down., Denth of Mr*.

Srer:tl Sections of tlie Ciunlisln City lftridge Gone-Other Dunuitfect. Tho heavy raios rhiit fell or. Friday and Friday night wore the cause of a consid erable rise in our rivers. The Cone maugh raged and dashed its muddy waters like a torreut. The Stonyereek was more quiet, but a great volume of water moved down its channel on Satur day. Much concern was felt about the temporary bridges. Early on Saturday some stones were placed ou the Lincoln street bridge, and the supports wete anchored by means of strong ropes. More stones were placed on it, till there was just about room left for the wagons to.pass. The bridge was then left to fate. 1 All had been dene that could be done to save it. Luckily it stood the muddy as sault made by tue water. - How is Woodvale ? was the prevailing : question again on Saturday, as it has | been at every high water since the great flood. The bridge between that borough and Conemaugh borough stood firm, but the turbulent stream made a rood through the town as it lias done ever since the flood everytime there has been high water. The embankment made at the upper end sufficed to keep out the water for as far as it extended, but further down the water poured all over the upper part of the former town site. Part of it soon foutid its way into the muin stream again, but the rest gathered into one quite formidable stream on Maple avenue above the woolen milts, and flowed across to the Pennsylvania railroad just above the over-head bridge. There tho stream again divided into two forks, each taking its own course toward the main stream, the one flowing directly through under an occupied Hughes house that stood on props and across to the river some dis tance above the Woodvale and Cone maugh bridge, the other keeping along tho railroad till it reached the river about the former sile of the Barb Mill. The water did not enter any of the houses, but it came within eighteen inshes of flooding tho lower floors of some of them. At bridge No. 8, the engines were al! flooded, and tee work was stopped in conseqnetiee. At many places on its way down the mountain the Conemaugh whirled nad roared with a turbulence that reminded one of the death dealing torrent that swept down its valley a little over five months ago. The temporary foot-bridge between East Conemaugh and Franklin was dam aged to the extent of having about one third of it taken away on the Frunklin side. The low tomporary railroad bridge a short distance above was weighted with cars laden with stones and coal. Tlie temporary Cambria City bridge was early scan to be in danger. Floating objects lodged against the supports, but they were speedily dislodgsd. Shortly before 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon Policeman Peter Culliton. with a force of men, was at work removing some drift that had lodged, against the bridge. Sud ! demy, as if the water luid undermined its I supports, several sections gave way, mak i ing a gap of about forty or fifty feet, j This. of course, cut oil Cambria City and | Morrellv'lle by wagon communication. | At the stone bridge the water tilled the | channel of the river almost to overflow ing. At 2 o'clock on Saturday afteinoon the gauge there indicated a rise of nine feet of water. If there had been two inches more of water it would have over flowed Eron street at that point. Just above the Lincoln bridge the wa ter was within a few incites of the top of the stone wall. The gas pipe to the Cam bria Iron Company's office, which was suspended across the river by a wire rope, was torn down by the water. Some damage was also done to the bridge back of the Company store.
