The Democrat. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1890. THE President has consented to open the public library and art gallery buildings presented by Andrew Carnegie to the city of Allegheny, Pa. The cere mony will take place some time next month, probably about the 11th. UXCI.E SAM pays his 200,000 employes, including soldiers and sailors, an average salary of $825 apiece. The average earn ings of the plain, every-day citizen, who gets pay in proportion to the work he does, are about half that much, probably. This [state of ofifuirs explains, perhaps, why about 20,000,000 male American citi zens make a dead set for about 50,000 of flees every four years. THE leading Baptist paper of the country, The Examiner, of New York, says : Mr. Ingalls delivered his annual show speech iu the Senate last week. It was "smart," abounding in epigram and sparklo of rhetoric. But it must be al lowed, even by the Sonator's friends, that the contribution mude by him to the solu tion of the Southern problem was very slight. His warnings of an impeding dis aster to tl.e South would have been more impressive if they had been less sugges tive of stage thunder. " Try justice," may be given in a word as Mr. Ingalls' panacea. By justice he means, that where the negroes outnumber the whites, the whites should submit to be governed by the negroes. The spectacle of a superior race governed by an inferior was never seen in the history of the world, ex cept for a brief period in the Southern States when the inferior race was backed by Federal bayonets. Those who are familiar with the history of South Caro lina and Louisiana during the "recon struction" period, whether they live North or South, are not anxious to see a return of those days. WHAT IS LIIKELY TO HE Lancaster intelligencer. General Hastings says that he is not going to let Cambria county turn him out of the gubernatorial race in which he declares that he will stay until the State Convention meets ; he thinks that Cam bria would have done differently on a fair test of the opinion of the Republican voters, and that he lost its delegates because he was too sure that the sentiment of the voters would prevail in Xheir selection. No doubt the General was tnken advan tage of in Cambria by the dark devices of his adversary; but the lesson teaches that the General is going to be laid low in like manner in many places. He may have the voters, but he does not have the schemers ; and we do not see much reason to doubt that bis " goose is cooked." It will be very well for the General to keep his courage up and his flag flying; until at least he can make gocd terms of capitulation. It is, as be says, a long time yet before the Conven tion meets, and much may happen before then to change the face of the situation ; and if it does not change, it will be time enough then to see what can be made by hauling in bis colors and giving his alle giance to the ahnointed candidate. But Hastings is likely to be for Delamater he fore the nomination. HISINKSS IN 1800. It seems to be pretty generally conced ed by all those who have expiessed their opinions in onr hearing, and our own ob servation bears out their conclusions, that at present 1800 promises to he one of the best general business vears which this country has ever seen. It certainly is safe to say that at present there is no cloud above the horizon that threatens a storm. There is very little that is disturbing is the situation in whatever direction we look, and the mere fact that the business public at large seem to be. settled in the opinion that this year is to be a good business year goes very far toward assur ing that result. In many sections of the country there promises to be unusual in dustrial development. This, we believe, is particularly true of the Southwest,with St. Louis as a center. We do not suppose that the Northwest will lose any of its prosperity, nor that it will stop that won derful advancement which it has been mnking for many years past, but there are indications that the example which the Northwest lias set will shortly be followed if not improved upon by the Southwest. We look also for good business results in the South. Likewise for development and expansion through the Western and Cen tral part of the country. In the cxtremn I I Northwest the outlook is described ae I? favorable. California is no exception to the general rule, while the great Central and Eastern sections of the country, from ' which many supplies are drawn, will be influenced very much by the activities in the newer and more rapidly growing parts to which we have already directed n attention. — Til* BEAUTIES OF ANDALUSIA. M JScrtbners Magazine. U As regards her stature and mold, the jl Andulusinn girl is almost invariably a '1 petite brunette, and although not all are 1 plump, and many arc too stout, the mv I jority have exquisitely-symmetrical taper- I ing limbs, well-developed busls,(flat chest | ed women are almost unknown in t | Spain,) and the most dainty and refined hands and feet. Regarding these feet Oautier makes the most astounding as i sertion that " without any poetic exagger ation it would be easy here in Seville to And women whose feet an iDfant might hold in its hands. A French girl of seven or eight could not wear the shoes of an Andalusian of twenty. " I am glad to attest that, if the feet of Sevellian women really were so monstrously small fifty years ago, they are so no longer. It is dis couraging to see a man like Qautier fall into t le vulgar error of fancying that, be cause a small foot is a thing of beauty, therefore the smaller the foot the more beautiful it must be. Beauty of feet, hands and waists is a matter of proportion, not of absolute size, and too small feet, hands, and waists are not beautiful, but ugly. We might as well argue that, since a man's foot ought to be larger than a woman's therefore the larger his foot the more he has of manly beauty, if Andalusian women really had feet so small that a baby might hold them in its hands, they would not be able to walk at all, or, at least, not gracefully, But it is precisely their graceful gait and carriage for which they are most famed and ad mired. All Spanish women are graceful as compared with the women of other nations, but among them all the Andalu sians are pre-eminent in the poetry of motion, and this is probably the reason that, although regular facial beauty is perhaps commoner iu Madrid than in Seville, I found that you cannot pay a greater compliment to a girl iu Northern Spain than by asking her if she is an Andalusian. It would be useless to seek among land animals for a gait comparable to that of the women of Seville, Cadiz, Malaga, Granada; and when you com pare it to the motion of a swan on the wa ter, a fish in the water, a bird in the air, it is the birds and the fishes thut must feel complimented. ENGLISH CAPITAL IN AMERICA. The extraordinary flow of English capi tal into this country within the past year and a half has been watched by many with increasing alarm. The daily press has done its best to give credence to the popular anxiety, lest the industries of America should slip out of the hands of their rightful proprietors into the handsof foreigners. Under such a contingency, it has been urged our industrial welfare would be embarrassed almost past re demption. That this view of the case is extreme and unfounded, we need hardly say. A moment's sober thought will show that the f oreign capitcl, instead of being a menace to our national life, has a marked influence upon the progressive development of our resources. The large enterprises that have recently passed into English hands have been bought at a gen erous figure. Tiie old owners hav. reaped an ample reward for their years of labor, and the industry itself is destined for a time at least to justify its right to existence by profitable production. It will thus add uot only to the material wealth of the United States as a nation, but will keep large numbers of her labor trs employed ; and, again, the faunder of the industry having realized a handsome profit on his first venture, will be spurred on by success to undertake others. All this may be granted, and yet fear be entertained lest the foreign proprietor should abuse his power by lending aid to political measures, the true nature of which he does not understand or appre ciate. This objection is only seemingly sound, and is destroyed at once when we remember that a foreign as well as a domestic proprietor will protect his own interests to the best of his enlightenment. In a certain sense we may say that a for eigner wotdd be less likely to support any political measure that involved specula tive results in even in a small degree. For his investment in itself, partaking more of the nature of a speculation than were he an American, would deter him from increasing that risk. Another objection to the foreign acqui sition of American industries is based on the supposition that large amounts of money are thereby annually drawn out of the country. True they are, but what goes out is in the form of legitimate pro fits, and is but the rightful recompense for the vastly larger amount of capital whose field of aclivity is our own land. If we press this objection we might also with equal force, maintain that the expen ditures of our own citizens (luring vaca tion lours in Europe aie depleting the na tional exchequer. The value of nmoey depending on its activity, it is folly to try to curtail its bounds. The nature of these investments is again in their favor, being placed as they are in industrial enterprises- breweries for the most part—the proprietorship is directly dependent upon the prosperity of these industries. The case is no wise similar to foreign proprietorship in lands, which we do not believe to be desirable. As a further justification, the manner in which the investments are made is of weight. Of the $205,505,000 of English capital that lias come to this country dur ing the past eighteen months, almost the entire amount lias been placed through so-called investment companies. These companies capitalize American industries, and dispose of them in shares to the small middle-class English purchaser. They act there merely as middle-men, and their individual responsibilly is thereby increased by their double relation r.t once toward the industry and towards the security holder. The causes leading to this surprising desire of the Englishman to hold our stock are not easily determined, but they enn be safely classed under three general heads: First, a growing confidence in our Govern ment as contrasted with those of Europe; second, an increasing desire tor invest ment, more especially of a speculative nature on the part of the British middle class ; third, existence of the investment companies which reduce the risk of in vestment to the minimum. A force of men are at work at the Gau tier Works dressing stone for the new buildings. A BOSTON INSTITUTION. The l*eaho<ly Medical [luntitute and Its Quarter Century'* Work. One of the self-evident propositions re garding most, if not all, human insti tutions, is that their survival indicates their fitness to exist. In other words, when au institution best serves some good purpose it is apt to live while such a pur pose is to be, or should be served. To combat the ordinary ills to which the flesh is heir, we have good physicians by the thousand and hospitals by the hun dred ; but there are ailments of so subtle a nature, many of which infest society like a dry rot, that require special skill and care in their treatment, that the specialist alone —and he must be a man of rare qualifications —can best treat them. Of such ailments those which have their origin in disorders of the nervous system are usually the most difficult to ileal with, or to treat successfully, Their origin may be remote to the eye of the ordinary practitioner, while to the eye of the specialist it may be plainly indicated by the nature of the manifestations. At any rate, they arc always more or less difficult of treatment, requiring peculiar methods and patient and persevering attention on the part of the medical man. To treat such nervous maladies was the object of the founder of the Peabody Medical Institute, when, some 25 years ago, he es tablished it at Mo. 4 Bulfinch street, Bos ton, where it is located to this day, and where it will, no doubt, continue for many years to come, it being an estab lished fact in the history of medical institutions that where they are eminently useful to humanity they become perma ment. Its mission being largely philan thropic, it was named after that eminent American philanthropist, the late George Peabody, whose beneficence gladdens and will continue to gladden thousands of his fellow-beings on both sides of the At lantic for ages to come. It has had a wonderful history of success, has this Peabody Medical Institute, and it has ex tended its usefulness not only throughout the length and breadth of this lsnd, but in the countries of Europe and Asia. So systematic are the methods pursued in the conduct of the business pertaining to this institution that it can treat by letter at any distance the most obtsinate cases of diseases which come within the scope of its treatment. The Reabody Medical Institute, also, has done a vast amount of philatbropic work in its publications, which, while being standard medical works, are yet written for the purpose of bringing about that most necessary condition of self-know lodge that is embodied in the motto, " Know Thyself." Indeed, there is no estimating the value of such publications, written as these are for popular compre hension,'for they disseminate the infor mation that is most essential to the man or woman who would lead a moral, sober and virtuous life. Filling such a useful sphere in the ed ucation and enlightenment of the world, and in " ministering to the mind diseas ed, " as well as the body, as is the case in most nervous diseases, it Is not to be wondered at that the Peabody Medical Institute lives and thrives, but the wonder would be that it should not live and ex tend its influence in behalf of suffering humanity.— Boston, Mann., Herald , Dec. 11), 1889 MAKKIAGK LICENSES.

Civil Service ltcforui in tile Two Adminis trations. February Forum, On civil service reform the practical record of neither party is immaculate. Both parties have made public professions of adhession to the principles of this re form, and both have fallen short of their professions under the temptations of pow er. Mr.Cleveland's administration in its lat er months,lapsed painfully from the reso lute faithfulness with which it began. But at its worst estate, his administration was like the driven snow in comparison with the shameful corruption with which the Postofflce " patronage " has been handled by those two emiueut Presbyterian elders, Mr. Harrison and Mr. Wanamakcr, from the moment that they gripped the reins. Curious, isn't it, that " the party of the salo >n keepers and ballot-box stutters" should have given us, in this respect, a comparatively honest administration; while " the party of the elders and dea cons," in defiance of its formal pledges and of the solemn obtestations of its Presidential candidate on the floor of the Senate, should so have renewed the shame of the worst days of the Repub lic ? Mo punctiliousness in family papers, not a lifetime of labor in Sunday school, can undo or outdo one hundredth part of the demoralization that has been wrought by this treachery to public duty. The Clinton Street Question. To the Editor of the, Johnstown Democrat. The question of widening Clinton street is one of much importance to the borough of Johnstown, but the manner in which the three councilmen of the Third ward, are railroading the matter through our "legislature," it would seem to indicate that the burdening of the borough with a debt of $25,000 or $30,- 000 was an ordinary every day matter. Before the councilmen of the seven wards of Johnstown borough should give their cousent to the passage of this ordi nance, it might be well for them to in quire into the motives for the widening of Clinton street, and the benefits derived therefrom and then consider if the result is such that the borough should tax the citizens to pay for it It goes without saying that the direct benefits derived, would be for Clinton street alone. Our three energetic coun cilmen from that ward are all enterpris ing business men. They know that in widening the street, the side on which they live and do business will not be in jured by the taking of eight feet of the ground from their prem ises. It will all come from the opposite or Southern side, which w ill make them gain just double. Notwith standing they say it is as much benefit for the man living out in the 7th, 6tli, or sth wards, as it is to Clinton street business men, and therefore all seven wards should be taxed to pay it. Again they say the street at present is too narrow to allow tae laying of two tracks for the Electric Street Railway, and as a matter of ac commodation to the Street Railway people they wish to widen the street eight feet. Ever since ihe flood, the question of a heavy municipal debt, being placed upon the tax-payers of the borough has been before the people, and in Council the mat ter caused much discussion. The bridges had to he built by the R> . lief Fund money, in order to save I h e tax-payer. The grading of the lower 4n j of Main street has been [before Oov , uc i] for four months, yet never settled / f or fear of saddling a small debt on tl bor ough. The policemen were not pa' their just and earned dues, as a matter n f ecoll omy, but the Clinton street ma' ,| er must not be delayed; our all- w ; se an( i shrewd Councilman from tjm Third ward seeing the advantages to them in their different business, ant Clinton street widened at once. As one of the interested parties to this sc o,cmc remarked, •' We do not want a sin line of track on Clinton street, runn- one direction, nor do we want ad( trnck as the street is at present. Either way it will drive people from or t tra d e . With two tracks on the street i a t present, a farmer's wagon could not -stand in front of my business house, vvhile the cars were passing, and he -would be forced to drive around to Mai* x - a treet, and do his buying there. Oh, ' we mus t widen Clinton street at one x Now, the t q Ueß tton is if the widening of the s' j g a benflt to the Clinton street m let them pay for it. If, as they fß y w jjj benefit the whole city as jorporated, then wait and let the " w ' /ole city " pay for it, and not burden l ' le seven wards in Johnstown borough w ' fh skis unjust debt. Let the Council n jcu /.f Johnstown borough consider this. CITIZEN. Artificial Fuel-Gas at Moxham. As is well known, the Johnson Com ' pr my have a process, the Archer, in suc ' c< jssful operation at their works, manu facturing fuel gas for their heating fur naces. As it is expected thai the resi -1 dents of the town will be deprived of the convenience of gaseous fuel in their homes, the wide-awake corporation is - taking steps to supply an artificial fuel gas to take the place of the natural articlo. - To accomplish this, one of the many pro cesses now in successful operation in dif ferent parts of the country, will bc intro -1 duced, or if it con bc done, the Archer t system will be app'ied. The problem of I an artificial fuel gas has been successfully solved by several scientists and inventors, tt notably by Prof. T. 8. C. Lowe, at Los t Angeles, California, and we understand e that another system is in use in several towns in Michigan. A GAS EX PLOSION KILLS SIX. Seven Injured, One Filially—Delay In Se curing Volunteers to Enter the Mine After the Explosion—A Brother's He roism. WILKBSBARRB, February 2.— The Not tingham Colliery, at Plymouth, was the scene of a fearful explosion of gas at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, by which six men were almost instantly killed, and at least one so badly injured thut his death is certain. The victims are : TIIE KILLED. John Humphreys, John Crossing, David J. Williams, John Williams. Edward Morris, Powell Schultz. THE INJURED. Joseph Jones, fatally hurt ; Thomas Duke, badly bruised; James Dunstan, badly burned ; Peter Lynn, bruised and cut; John Thomas, cut and bruised badly ; David Fox, burned and bruised ; John Dennis, cut and bruised. Every one of the injured men are mar ried, except John Thomas, who is a young man. Very few details as to the killed could be learned. THE DEAD BODIES NOT RECOVERED. 1 Saturday evening, up to 10 o'clock, the bodies of but two of the dead had not been recovered. There existed, however, no hope that they could be found alive. On Friday notices were posted at the head of the shaft announcing that the colliery would resume work on Saturday and at the regular time in the morning the men gathered around the mine. They were greatly disgusted and enraged,how ever, wheu boss Berkheiser informed them that the colliery would not resume, that all he wanted was a few men to get up tne coal that was already loaded in the mine and two gangs of men for lumber ing. The men were not backward in expressing their disapproval and disgust, but their remonstrances only resulted in eliciting curses and abuse from Berkheiser. "Go home, you starving curs," he said, with an oath, " go home and starve there. There is no work here for you to day." The timbermen were divided into two gangs and sent one into the fifth and th other into the sixth lift of the West gang way. They were in charge of fire-boss, George Dunstan, who directed them where to put the timbers and how to stand them. A few minutes before nine o'clock, Dunstan, who had been with the gang of men in the sixth lift, left them to go with the fifth lift, to see how they were getting along. He had been gone about ten or fitteen minutes whe the explosion oc curred. The gas was first fired in the outlet opentng into the fifth lift, and, as the men in that lift had not yet seen Dunstau, it is believed that it was he who fired the gas. On his way from the lower to the upper lilt he must have passed through the out let, and it is believed that as he was pass iug through there he encountered a stand ing body of gas which took fire from his naked l'ght. The violence of the explasion was ter rific, the men on both lifts were dashed about as though by a cyclone. They knew nothing from the moment the ex plosion took place. In the upper, or fifth I'.ft, they were also wrapped in flames and were horribly burned. In Ihe lower lift there was no fire, but the concussion was felt in its full force, blowing props and timbers, shattering cars that stood on the track like match boxes arid dashing the men übout as if they were straws, the rush of air wns so violent that on its way up the lower air shaft down on the Hats it -topped the fan at the head of the shaft and blew the engineer, A. 11. Kocher, through tlie door of the fan-house. FLOCKING TO THE SCENE. Like wild-fire the news spread that there had been a terrible explosion in tlie old Nottingham, and that several men had been killed and injured. As soon as this became known, tlie people of the town and those residing on the hills back of the colliery, began to flock toward the mine. By noon fully three thousand peo ple were gathered around the colliery and excitement ran high, There were many women in the throng and some of them had friends and relatives among those who had gone down in tlie mine, and their grief and ngony was heartrending to witness. Mine Inspector G. M. Williams, of this city, arrived soon after the disaster took place, and at once entered the mine and took charge of all measure for relief. Boon itfter the disaster the officers be gan asking for men to go down the mine and help clear up, and get out the killed and wounded. In marked contrast to the unusual action of them in such cases not a voluteer came forward. The men were deeply enraged at the action of the Boss Berkheiser in the morning, and also seemed to feel that the whole disaster was attributable to bad management. They would not stir; -Berkheiser begged and implored them to go down, offering double pay, but they would not stir. For hours the work of relief was almost stopped for lack of men. Up to noon only one or two of the injured men had been brought to the surface. The men stood around sullen and dogged and would not stir. THE FIRST VOLUNTEER. Just after dinner James Crossing, brother of John, arrived on the scene. With tear streaming down his face he reached the head of the shaft nnd sprung on to a carriage that was just going down. " Boys, come with me; I must find John ny." The men were deeply touched but would not stir. Suddenly Morgnn W. Morgan, the old boss of the Nottingnam, who was known to every man there, sprang on a stack of iron pipe. " Boys, follow mo ; I'm going down to get out these men. Who is with me?" A cheer burst from the men, and in a moment a hundred volunteers were ready, and from that time the work of re lief went rapidly alone. Humphrey was brought out of the mine in a dying condition and breathed his last while on his way home in the ambulance. ' The other injured men were out before 4 o'clock, but it was 8 o'clock Saturday night before any of the bodies of the killed reached the surface. At that time the re mains of Crossing and Shultz were sent up, both horribly mangled. At 9:30 no' other bodies had been recovered. The explosion had been followed by a heavy fall of roof rock and the work of digging out the bodies was slow and la borious. Humphreys was a married man with a <f large family ; Williams and Shultz were also married men. The others were single. Crossing was a very popular young man and was First Sergeant in Company I, Ninth Regiment of the Na tional Guard of Pennsylvania. Low Kates to Washington via Pennsyl vania Kullroutl. The Pennsylvania Railroad's special ex cursions to Washington on February 13th March 6th, April 3d, and April 34th pre sent an extraordinary opportunity for a delightful visit to the capital of the na tion. The capital with all its interesting features is most attractive in winter and spring, and tl at is also the season when our people can command the greatest period of leisure. The limits of the tickets are generous enough to make the visit thorough, not only taking in Washington, but Baltimore, Mt. Vernon, Richmond, and I'eteisburg. Round-trip tickets will be sold from Pitts burgh to Washington at $9.00, valid for ten days, and admitting of a stop-over in. Baltimore in either direction. The rate from other stations in the western portion of the State will be proportionately low. Special train of parlor ears and day coaches will leave Pittsburgh at 8 A. M., stopping at principal stations and con necting from branch lines. lhc tickets will also be good on the night trains leav ing Pittsburgh on dates mentioned. Round-trip tickets to Mt. Vernon, Rich mond, and Petersburg may be purchased in Washington at reduced rates. The round-trip rate from Johnstown is $7.35 and the leaving time of the train is 10:13 A. M. - Killed at Gallltzin. While walking on the track at Gallitzin 1 on Saturday evening, about 8 o'clock, an unkuown man was run over by a train and instantly killed. His head was mashed to a jelly and one of his legs cut in a hor rible manner. The remains were brought to this city on Alloona Accommodation and taken to Henderson's morgue. The only things found on his person were a note book bearing a memorandum of expenses, and contained the name, " John Oearney, Cassandra, Cambria Co., Pa." Also the name, P. McGough, Portage, Cambria Co., Pa.," who is the Coroner of Cambria county. There were also found on his person several bandana handkerchiefs, a common plush cap.apipe, and some tobacco. There is no clue to his identity. The body will be held at Henderson's morgue until Tuesday, and if not claimed will be buried in the Potter's field, in Sandyvalo 'Cemetery. ltiiny Days at the Gautier. The Gautier Steel Department of the Cambria Iron Company, is being worked to its full capacity, mostly on steel specialties for farm implements. Plans have been prepaied tor permanent quar ters for this department, now being oper ated in very circumsoiibeil quarters. These plans show a structure fifteen hundred feet lung and four hundred feet wide, constructed mainly of iron. A large force of men are engaged on the ground where the wire mill stood, cutting stone for foundations and piers for the new mill, which it is understood will be commenced at once and pushed to completion as rap idly as possible. ♦ ♦ ♦ The new Silsby engiues for the Cone mangh and Vigilant Fire Companies are expected here this week.
