The remains of Mr. R. J. Cobaugh's
son, Robert, mention of whose death by
being run over by tlie ears at Glenwood
we noted a few days ago, was brought
here yesterday for interment. Upon the
arrival of the train on the B. & (_>., at 1:30
p. M.. the casket was-opened for tlie ac
commodation of many friends who could
not go to tlie etii.ilery, Headrick's. Un

pressive sermon.
Mr. Cobatigli, being an engineer on
tlie 15. & 0., tlie company very kindly
furnished free transportation to him and
iiis friends, some thirty in number. Mr.
Cobatigli being absent from home at the
time ol the accident, telegraphed to the
Brotherhood of Eugiueers, of which lie
is a member, to furnish a coffin, regard
less of expense. . They sent a most beau
tiful casket, with a silver tablet in
scribed with the name and age of de

No Pay* No school.
When the teachers of Loretto and sur
rounding districts met at tlie school
house iu Loretto on Saturday the 7th
inst. for the purpose of holding a District
Institute, they were chagrined to fiiul that
the doors of the school house were locked
against them. Tlie directors had the keys
aud demanded one dollor for the use of
tlie room, to be applied to scrubbing the
room after tlie meeting. The teachers
were divided iu regard to the propriety of
paying for the room, but finally concluded
not to do so. The leader telegraphed to
the Comity Superintendent. Tlie answer
came, " Don't pay."
Tried to Kol it Convent.
Friday morning of last week at 2 o'clock
tlie Convent of the Sisters at Irwin was
entered !>y burglars, who pried open a
shutter of the parlor window. Having
found nothing ou the' lower floor they
went up stairs and entered the room
where, one of the sisters was sleeping.
Tliey'ransacked all the bureau drawers,
one ol which had a large seme of money
in it, but they failed to Uriel it. In the
meantime the sisters, hearing the noise,
gave the alarm, which was answered by
several men. The robbers becoming
scared, made their escape without secur
ing anything of value.

Another •• Johnstown Sufferer" Kecites the
Ills That Befell Ills Once Happy fam
ily -He Giles to Pit,*l,ll rgll to Keelte
His Troubles—The Whole Thing Likely
a fabrication. •
In yesterday evening's Pittsburgh
Chronicle Telegraph appenrs the f illowing
under a conspicuously displayed heutl:
Johnstown's history stiil receives addi
tions. Bereavements by tlie flood, un
known 'or mouths, come up and reveal
untold misery. A very sad recital was
that by Emile Etoine, at the Union Depot
this morning.
Shortly before that terrible flood which
almost wiped Johnstown out of existence
Emil Etoine left Cambria City tor his na
tive town of Cieonville, not far from
Slrussburg, in Alsace Lorraine, to receive
a comfortable fortune, which lie had in
herited from a relative. Etoine had been
working as a puddler at tlie Cambria
Iron Works for about two years previous
to his depmturc tor the Continent. He
left a family consisting of a wife and five
children behind liitn, happy in thought
that in it few months ilie head of the
house would return with sufficient means
to support them, it not in luxury, at least
very comfortably without further hard
work of atiy kind. Etoine sailed on tlie
Kntin, one of the Hamburg lines of
steamships, on May 2Uth for Havre dti
Grace, so happy, as lie said, that lie felt
like embracing every passenger on board
the vessel. He reached Havre in good
time, and proceeded byway of Paris and
Slrasshurg to his native town.
Everything did not progress as smooth,
ly as lie expected when he reached his
birthplace. Some other persons claimed
closer relationship to the dead uncle,
there being, by tiie way, a natural son
living. The matter had to be brought be
fore the courts for adjustment. Accord
ing to the German laws, a natural son lias
no rights of inheritance unless it is so
plainly stated in the will of the parent.
This not being tiie case, Etoine won the
suit easily enough, but it detained him
longer tliau lie expected by several
months.
During all this time he never beard or
read of the Johnstown disaster, though
often in Strassburg, and did not keep up
correspondence.with his wife.
When the law suit had been settled in
his favor and lie had cotne into possession
of tlie property, which was principally
real estate, left to hint, lie put it up at pub
lic sale and received about 820,000 for it.
With New Yotk exchange for that sum
ill liis poeke'., he again embaikcd'for this
country about three weeks ago, as happy
and contented as a man well could be,
who, accustomed to earning his bread by
the sweat of his brow, sees a life of com
parative luxury and ease before him.
He intended logo into some business in
Johnstown. lie reached Pittsburgh three
days ago in the forenoon and hoarded the
Johnstown Accommodation at 1:20 p. M.,
which took liini to the place where lie had
left those dearer than all the tlie money in
the world.
" When I got off at tlie Pennsylvania
Railroad Station," continued the stricken
man, as lie reached this point of his
story, " I turned back to one of tlie depot
men and inquired of him how tar I had
yet to go to Johnstown, as 1 hud s ot
off at the wrong station, and how 90on
the next train lett for that town. The
man looked at me for a moment as
though he thought I was not quite right
in ir,y mind and asked me whether or not
I could read the sign on the station house.
1 looked up and there it was plain
enougli in large white letters on a black
ground.
" While I looked at the sign in n dazed
sort of a wav, another man who had
overhead tlie conversation stepped up to
me and said: " 1 guess you're a stranger
here, or have been in Johnstown before
tlie flood? It's quite changed now, I
wouldn't have known it myself if I had
been away for six months."
"As the man spoke I fedt as if some
one had punctured my heart with a sharp
knife, aud I fainted dead away.
When consciousness returned I was in j t
tlie waiting room of the station house and | '
some persons -wer rubbing my temples ! 1
with vinegar and making me inhale it. j 1
Then I went out to find mv "wife and ' 1
children, but something told me that \ 1
they were dead. The part of Cambria 1
City where stood tlie house in which 1 1
left nty family was completely swept ! (
away. I made inquiries for forty-eight '
hours, during which time 1 had nqt a \ i
niorsul to eat or a wink of sleep, but all in ; !
vain. Nobody knew what had bedotne of ;
my family, mid tlie people could hardly ;
understand my sorrow and grief, having
stiffeied so much themselves.
" I was told that nearly all tlie people
of Cambria who inhabited that section
where my house had stood perished.
"I am not going to remain in this
country ;.evcrything reminds me of the !
terrible loss I have suffered. lam going
to New Y'ork to-night, and from there
across the ocean hack to my birthplace,
where I shall live the rest of my days in
solituije nnd sadness."
It was evident from the appearance of
Mr. Etoine that lie had suffered great
mental pain. His face was haggard and
his eyes had a dreamy, far-off look as if
he had lost all interest in everything con
nected with this world.
No sueli name appears in the directory,
and ilitre is no account of any sueli per
formance at the Pennsylvania railroad
station as that related by Etoine. By in
quiry from people in Cambria we failed to
learn at any such person's having lived
there. It is quite likely that the paper
lias been imposed upon.

Where Marriiiize is M ule Fasy.
In tiie Ukraine, Russia, tlie maiden is
the one that does all tlie courting. When
she falls in love with a man, die goes to
his house and tells liiin tlie stale of her
feelings. If he reciprocates nil is well, and
a formal marriage is duly arranged. If,
howev r, lie is unwilling, she remains
there, hoping to coax him into a better
mind. The poor fellow cannot treat her
with the least discourtesy <r turn her
out, for her friends would lie sure to
avenge the insult. His best chance
therefore, if he is really determined that
he won't, is to leave his home and stay
away as long us she is in it. This is cer
tainly a peculiar way of turning a man
out of house and home. On tlie Isthmus
ot Darien cither sex can do the courting,
with the natural result that almost every
body gets married. There is not tlie same
chance where the girl has to bide the no
tions of a hesitating or bnalifitl swain.
Expert Gamblers Htm.
It will not be news to some to state that
much gambling is done in this place.
This lias been noticeably true since the
Hood from the fact that si u-ral well
dressed young men, formerly not resi
dents of Johnstown, have been -pending
their, time around certain qiunters, not
on a back street, without scenting to have
any particular employment, iiut they
arc not tlie only gamblers in town, nor
has it been only since the floo ! that much
gambling has been done, but it is only
since then that "professionals" in the
use of the chips have made this place
their rendezvous. All went along serene
ly, with varying luck, till within about a
week, when two experts, seeing a chance
to do up the town, came along, t hey are
said to have made frightful inroads into
the " stock in trade " of many of our local
blacklegs. Many respectable pi- pie will
ingly aver that these resorts are known to
officials whose sworn duty it is to raid
them. '

ABANDONING A KIG TOWN*.
30,000 People Willi Their Herd Travel a
Hundred Mi leu for Water.
LONDON, December 20.—The great town
of Shoshoug, nortli of Cape Colony, South
Africa, lias been abandoned by the entire
population. All that arc left of tlie people,
about 20,000 in number, who lived in
Shoshoug, are • a few white traders,
who stay there to traffic with the natives
of the surrounding country. A while ago
Khnma, the fatuous King of Bechuana
latid, and his councelors, decided that
Shoshoug had suffered so severely from
scarcity of water for several years past
that they would seek a new site for the
town. A des'rable situation was found
about 100 miles northwest of Shoshoug,
and not a great ways from the Limpopo
river.
It was a large undertaking, as tlie
people are quite well to do and have a
good ileal of personal property and about
50,000 cattle. The fields of Indian corn
ami millet which they abandoned extend
ed for mauy miles around Sliosliong. The
transfer occupied about a month, and tlie
people in their new huts have at least the
certaiuty of an ample water supply.
Shoshong was the largest native town
in South Africa, and pictures of it appear
in some school geographies aud in Kcclus's
universal geography.

Murphy is (lone to Kentucky.
Mr. W. .1. Murphy, better known as
"Little Willie," entertained n number of his
friends at his boarding place, the Misses
Kepplc's, at 57 Huber street, last nigbt.
The occasion was his departure on his
holiday vacation for his home in Louis
ville, Kentucky, and we have no hesi
tancy in saying it was a royal one. The
hostesses were as gnat in entertaining as
the host himself, and the house was as
open as the hearts of either. The supper
was equal to the occasion, and the music,
vocal and instrumental, told for itself of
whose selection it was. Among those
present were the above named host and
hostesses, It. E. Lamhcrd, Ed. F. (Teed,
M. Fitzharris. Walter Dowling, T. D.
Broderick, M. F. Murpliv, John Flynn,
C. A. Fritz, Tom O'Neal, and J. B.
O'Connor.
After thanking the hostesses, and
many hearty handshakes with the host,
and kindest of wishes for a pleasant visit
home, the boys departed, feeling that if
iiis Kentucky friends were us big-hearted
as the demonstration on Ins arrival
there wouid more than equal his depart
ure here.
A lleaut itul Design in Monumental Work.
The most beam if ul monument ever yet
erected in Grand View was completed
yesterday by C. Keim to the memory of
Lena A, wife J. M. Shumakcr. It con
sists of first and second bases and a die,
surmounted by four "beautiful columns
supporting a cap. Onder the cap is a
vase for tlowers, and surmounting this
cap, which is in gothic style, is a tine
statue, life si/.c, ot exquisite beauty, rep
resenting sorrow. The expression of the
face is remarkably life-like, the drapery,
the hair and proportions are certainly
tine. The work possesses all the more
merit because the design is original,
which reflects great credit to Mr. Keim.
Parties in need of a fine monument or
tombstone should call at his works on
Adam street, as he has, without a doubt,
erected the finest monuments and tomb
stones in all the cemeteries in and about

Somerset standard.
A Webster (Pa.J school mistress lias
brought suit against the Bellevernou En.
tcrprlne for stating that she had been
bound over for her appearance at court
for whipping a boy at school. The state
ment was made on what the Enterprise
considered reliable information and when
it was found to be incorrect a corrcctiou
was promptly printed, yet the lady insists
on dragging Editor Truxal into court.
She is evidently inexperienced in court
ing and '.may find it is not what its
cracked up to be.

The calamity that occurred in the Opera

its share of sorrow this year.
