A Uruiublor'd C olumn.
We have been seriously considering
lie question of setting apart a column of
ne daily for the special benefit of grumb
iirs, where they can vent their com
laiuts without let or hindrance. It is
nought it would serve a good pu-pose,
. .asmueh as it would afford an opportu
-ily for chronic grumblers to work off
nine off the injurious bile that makes
ncm miserable. All malcontents could
.us relieve their overburdened and pent
p feelings, and by so doing would enjoy
teir meals better, and sleep sounder. A
dumn of grumbling matter, if judi
iously compressed, might meet the de
.ands of the discontented fraternity ; but
f this we are not certain, as the number of
IOSC who grumble at the weather, the
.iud, at the doings ol the Relief Commit
ec, and everything else is surprrsingly
• irge. If we conclude to do so, let it be
.istinctly understood that it will not be
vholly a disinterested piece of work, as
••e at times, are considerable on
..rumbling ourselves.

H KNIOHT GIVES THANKS.
The State Sattaflee Ilia Juhastown Claim—
rl Attorney Sajrs Jut Enough Was
- baved It IT to ItmaoTe the Contractor'*
I'rottts—Some of the Discrepancies K*-
ptntned.
Pi.tt.bi'R3H, Pa.. November 38.— Cod-
Iru.-lor James McKnight was yesterday
untitled by Itis Attorney, Charles 11. Mc-
Kit that lie had been awarded $14,000
o i las claim against the State for work
done at Johnstown, in addition to $5,-
107 46 puid him siuee the proceedings be
jt*H. This is practically the full amount
of McKidghl's claim and he is autirely
satisfied, t bourns Carliu's Sons wsra at
the same time awarded S4OOO on their
claim of $4700 and William Anschutzs2,-
400 on a claim of $3700. The three claims
had originally been made in oue by Mc-
Knight, who was really responsible for
the work of the Catiins and Anschutz.
But the arbitrators, who held their final
meeting at Qreensburg last Wednesday
evening, decided to scperate the claims-
Attorney McKes, who represented
Mc Knight, went to ilarrisbtirg
at once and presented the claim
of his client to Governor Beaver.
The latter very rapidly wrote out
his cneck for the amount, and the
money was yesterday paid over to Mr.
McKnig t. Mr. McKee said yesterday
that MeKuight would be worth more to
day if he had not done a day's work at
Johustowu. The loss of ttmn and tool*
and the expenses incident to the recent
litigation had, ai led by the amount de
ducted from his claim, contributed to hi*
financial detriment. The money now
received from the State goes to William
Flintt, who had indorsed paper of Mr. Me-
Kuight for $30,000 about two week* after
the work began at Johnstown.
" After all the attacks made upon Mr.
McKnight's accounts," said Attorney Mc-
Kee yesterday, ''about the only shaving
the arbitrators did was in the way of
percentages not allowed on lumber
ordered, coal and ga.. used and freight
and express bills. But this was enough
to eat up all McKtiiglit's ptoftts. Some
of the items charged to the State were
decided to belong to the Flood Commis
sion, and some workmen were paid more
than the written contracts with the State
allowed. The accounts were necessarily
in very bad shape. The chief time-keeper
for the State ackuowledged in his
testimoney that there was really no
roll kept for the first two weeks. About
that time Col. Douglass look hold and
made some rather arbitrary orders. Me-
Kuight was ordered to reduce his force of
useu from 1,860 lo 850. The State could
give him no money to pay them off, he
was afraid to discharge them without
their pay, for they were already making
threatening movements, and so Mr. Me-
Kuight borrowed $20,000 and William
Flyun indorsed his notes. Then Col.
Douglass otdered that McKniglit reduce
his force below the bridge to twenty meu.
Coi. Phillips, the engineer, saw that it
was impossible to keep the channel clear
with so smali a force, and in the rbseuce
of Douglass he took the liberty to enlarge
the force instead of doc reus* it. But the
State time-keepers would uot allow for
more tbau twenty nteu, according to their
instructions. This is one of the many
things which caused such discrepancies
in the accounts of McKnight and the
State.
Complaint was also found in the fact
that McKnight's accounts showed no
classification of the work. Colonel Doug
lass demanded that they show how much
work was done for the commissary, the
quartermaster and the hospital depart
ments, and what part of the work was
done in certain districts. McKnight had
made no attempt at such distinctions dur
ing the first two weeks, had not been in
structed to do so, in fact. Whenever he
would leave the drift and attempt to
etraighten ut matters at camp, Adjutant
General Hastings would request him to
go back to the drift. So the matter was
allowed to remain in that shape until sud
denly McKnight was told to furnish an
itemized, classified account, something
no living man could hare done under the
circumstances."
AN ODD MAltltlAGE.
M.VMteriou# Mating of a Scottdale Couple In
a Baltimore Hotel,
An odd sort of a wedding at the St.
James Hotel, Baltimore, on Sunday eve
ning lias furnished gossip for the guests
at that exclusive resort. Sunday morning
a handsome, stylishly dressed blonde
young woman arrived from the west, was
driven to the St. James and registered as
Miss Olivia L. Ward, Scottdale, Pa. Her
hand trembled and her checks flushed
sufficiently to arcuse curiosity. Two big
trunks tiiat looked as if they had becu all
over Europe went up after her.
Two hours later a well dressed young
man hurriedly entered the hotel, and
wrote on the register, '• William N. Bax
ter, Scottdale, Pa." He sent up his card
to the haudsotnc blonde, who received
him in the parlor. In a few moments
Clerk Slater was summoned, and the
young man explained that the couple
wanted to he married immediately. He
had been in Bultiraorc several days wait
ng for the lady.
A prominent Episcopal clergyman was
sent for, and at 6 o'clock the lady, ar
rayed in a handsome costume, took the
arm of the young man and they were mar
ried under the big chandelier in the hotel
parlor, with the hotel manager and chief
clerk as the only witnesses.
They left on the midnight train for the
north. It is said that the bride is heiress
to a fortune, and that the hotel
people know more than they will tell
about the romantic affair.
MONUMENTAL FOLLIES.
Of the building of monument*, like
Solomon ear* of making books, there is
no end. It looks as though it is 01 of
the maniaa of this age, especially witli
newspaper men. Query : Ii i* one of me
ways to work their papers into public
notice? It looks that way. The laiest
instance is that of the Washington City
Poet, in heading a subscription with two
hundred dollars, to erect a monument In
memory of Airs. Mary Waahln.g'on,
George's mother. Just why sue soouui
be thus immortalised, (good woman as
we doubt not she was) more tbaa hur,iiri>
of other good mothers of her tunes, the
l't does not venture to say.
One thing certain, however, a <l (net is
that the prejeet evidently done net mem
with any very great favor, as the re-pon
tes thus far to hand and repealed calls
for subscriptions, are not only
few and far between, but i.x- e d
ingly meager in amount. Outside
of two ten dollar contributions, the num
ber of contributors do not reach twenty
who give more than fifty cents each. At
this rate. If the monument ever should he
built, it looks as though it would require
a century or two to advance ii up to
the point reached by the Gcucral Grant
ene, under the management of N<-w Aork,
In thinking of the manv efforts to
build monuments in this country, and
how easily and rapidly they rise on paper
(a newspaper) and bow loug the founda
tion and a few courses of stone on them
stand, waiting for completion In think
ing of them one is reminded of whnl the
good book says about the folly of begin
ning to build in the absence of means to
complete. " For wnlch of you ii tend
ing to build a tower, situ-th not down
first, and counteth the cost, whether he
hath sufficient to finish it j lest after he
hath laid the foundation, and is not able
to fiuißk it, all that behold it begin to
mock him, saying. ' this tnan be
gan to build and was not able
to finish.'" A good many people
now are mockingly wagging their
tongues and saying this very thing even
about the New York Grant monument,
and several others scattered over the
country.
We don't mean to say or intimate that
the erection of an occasional monument
to perpetuate tke memory of a great
event, or of a great man, as those at
Bunkerhill and Washington City, is a
foolish enterprise ; but that the idea of
putting them up in Lonor of common
place events, or to immortalize ordinary
kind of people, renders the custom so
cnmmn as to be without any significance.
If newspaper accounts can be relied on,
we are to have them in great quantities.
There will be a McClelland one, a Han
cock one, a Logan one, and even a Hart
ranft one, and many others in addition to
a Mary Washington one.
A UATHKRINU STORM.
There are some visible signs in the
political sky that portend no assurance of
serenity to the Republican party. The
cloud, though at first no larger thar. a
man's band, is rapidly assuming propor
tions indicative of a storm of no incon
siderable force. It is of a Philadelphia
origin, and has a Post-office expression
stamped on it.
While it is an open secret that Mr.
Wannamaker's appointment was made on
purely political grounds—as not only a
recognition, but as a kind of remunera
tion for services rendered in the shape of
a princely contiibution during the Presi
dential campaign, it seems that he acts "n
the belief that all political considerations
ended in his appointment. In other
words, that the hewers of wood and the
drawers of water in the Republican party
have no claims that the Administration
are bound to respect. Hence, he turned
from Quay, who engineered his appoint
ment, and from the man Quay wanted as
postmaster in the Quaker City, to a Mr.
Field, who was without any political
prestige or backing, and what is more,
lias had him appointed.
But now the fight begins, as Mr. Field
says most pointedly aud emphatically that
uo changes shall he made in the rlencal
force of the office for political reasons—
that all competent Democrats will be re
tained. Which politically interpreted
means that the hungry hundreds who
have patiently awaited for Mr. Harrity's
removal, will be sadly disappointed.
These hundreds of expectants knowing
the power of Quayism in Pennsylvania's
Republican politics, have had every reason
to believe that he would be able to have
every last Democratic employe turned
out, and the places thus vacated filled
with tried and trusted Republicans. If
Mr. Postmaster Field does not hack down
from the high civil service policy he has
announced, as the governing principle by
which he will run the office, an open rup
ture is inevitable. It will be Quay aud
his following against the Field.
THE Argentine Republic's immigration
for this year will reach 370,000. This is
too many to be properly assimilated and
the southern republic is likely to have a
very grave question to settle in a few
years.
The De>ul all Itemoved.
All tlio flood victims buried at Blairs
villc were exhumed yesterday and ship
ped to Johnstowu. This finishes the
work of raising the dead, and hundreds
who have been anxiously watching the
work all along in the hope of finding the
remains of some of their lost ones, will
now feel doubly sorrowful at not being
able to find the object of their search.
For them Thankfgiving will not have
much meaning.
IScliereH It to bo Correct.
The Pittsburgh Catholic says: There
port in the daily papers, that Rt. Rev.
Bishop Tuigg has sent his resignation to
Rome, we believe to be correct. We re
gret to say that his health, for a long time,
has been such as to preclude all hope of
his recovery, or of his being able to re
sume his Episcopal duties.

The schools in this place are suppoited
by Elder township, and on account of the
great number of pupils, only those who
reside iu Elder township are permitted lo
attend, hence till great need of another
school. There will be about fifty pupils
lo attend the new school.
Mr. Jacob Koontz, a farmer about one
mile west of this place, and Charles Col
lins, a miner from here, met with a very
sad and painful accident last Saturday
night a week, Mr. Koontz drove to this
place in a farm wagon, and having gotten
veiy badly intoxicated before he left,
borrowed a lantern and started for home,
but on his way he got Mr. Collins in the
wagon. He was also in a very happy
mood. When they got near home the
wagon upset, hurling Mr. Koontz against
a nick or the tence, from which lie re
ceived injuries that may yet result iu
death. The lantern exploded and the nil
running into Mr. Koontz's hoot, burned
bis left foot so badly that amputation may
yet have to be performed. Mr. Collins
is burned ou one of his feet, both arms
and the side of his head are also liiully
burned, but was not injurned iu the fall
and is now on a fair way to get well. It
is feared he may yet be obliged to have
both arms amputated. Dr. Rice is at
tending them and reports a very bad case

A GOOD CHANCE FOR A EIRE.
A Small lllaze on Bedford Street Early Yes

Whole If lock of lfullriingH.
The three-story cased brick structure
on Bedford street, not fur from the Balti
more & Ohio crossing, which is owned by
Mrs. Nancy Hoerle, was discovered to b
on fire shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday
morning.
A young man was sent to uotify the
firemen at corner of Main and Frank
lin streets, but that functionary,
it is said, was too much ab
sorbed in his night's rest to respond
for some minutes. On being aroused he
said that he had nothing to do with Bed
ford street or with ringing the fire bell.
In the mean-while a number of men
with buckets had put out the fire, hut
not before a large hole had been burned
in the second floor and ceiling of the
building. The tire had caught from one
kindled by some plasterers on bricks in
the Are place. Coals had found their way
to the floor.
A Mud HMIUOVAI.
A well-directed nnd vigorous attack
was made upon the mud on Franklin
street yesterday by a corps of scrapers,
numbering some twenty or more men
aud boys. Files of the tilth, that has
been accumulating for the past four
months,; now stand thick and higli
on both sides of the street, ready to be
shoveled into carts .and wagons, to be
hauled away and dumped into one of the
creeks or on their banks. The prospect now
is quite flattering for pedestrians being
able to cross from one side to the other
without any danger of swamping jin the
mud.
Handle With Care.
This caution is an absolute necessity in
handl.ng the very handy, useful, but ex

cannot be exercised in turning it on and
igniting it ; nor can people be too careful

The recent terrible explosions at Brad
dock, in Pittsburgh, Dayton, 0., and
other points ought to serve as a warning.
Great big placards witli the word " Dan

What Will be the End ?
New York World.
The organization of a bogus Legislature
by the Republicans in Montana, in order
to steal the United States Senators from
tLat State, is a desperate and perilous
political crime. There is not the slightest
pretense of legality or regularity in the
proceedings of the minority of the lower
House. The Governor's proclamation
called the Legislature to meet at the
Court House. There the Senate and the
legu! House, whose regularity had been
already practically passed upon in the
courts, assembled. The Republicans
fraudulently claiming an election to the
lower House met and organized at a dif
ferent place. The Democrats made a mis
take in no' attending the meeting of the
Senate. That body is equally divided,
the Rcpublicuu Lieuteuaut-Gevernor hav
ing the casting vote, and the Democratic
Senators absented themselves knowing
that with this advantage the Republican
Senators, with the aid of the Lieutenant-
Governor, would recognize the fraudulent
lower House. But it would have been
better for the Democrats to have met and
organized the Senate, in order that the
regular Legislature might he complete
trusting to the people iu the cud to put
the stamp of reprobation on the party
which lias shown its willingness to defeat
their will and to defy the courts.
No one can predict the serious con-e
--quences that may follow this Republican
lawlessness nor the injury it may do to
the prosperity and progress of the new
State. The fraudulent Legislature can
have no recognition except at Washing
ton. The Governor of the State will of
course reeogiiizo only the regular Lcgis
latum. If the Republican halt of the
Senate refuses to act with the legal lower
House 'lie Democratic half will refuse to
pay auy attention to the proceedings of
the fraudulent House. There can he no
withdrawal of either party from the Sen
ate, because neither acting alone would
have a quorum. The Governor will send
his messages to the regular Legislature,
but it is evident that no legislation can
be accomplished and that anarchy must
prevail so far as the legislative branch of
the government is concerned.
This slain on the character of the
young State ; this defiance o f law and
justice ; this revolutionary overthrow of
the will of the people; tins blocking of
the wheels of government: this imperil
ling of the peace of the State ; this invi
tation to disorder and even to bloodshed,
are the price to be paid for two Repub
lican Senators fraudulently chosen. This
is not the first time that Republican
bossses have shown themselves ready to
defy and defeat the will of the people,
and the party will be held responsible for
all the evil consequences which their law
lessness may entail.

sat up and said: " Who's there?"
No answer.
"Who's there?" she demanded again.
Silence was the only reply.
"Why don't you speak?" she cried
nervously.
" 1 ain't got anything to say," came in
meek tones from the would-be thief, as
he hurriedly slid out of the door.
