ANDREW UKNEUIE,
lie nameless sleeps who built the Pyramids;
Their mighty peaks In silent grandeur rise,
And vainly pierce the blue of Egypt's skies,—
for envious Time man's fondest hopes outbids,
And scatters dust upon his eollln lids ;
Across the shining sands In blunk surprise
The Sphinx hath llxed her staring, stony eyes,
■Yet tongueless she to tell what fate forbids ;-
Rut thou dost build a noble monument—
Kor. here within these massive granite waifs.
In quiet alcoves and In peaceful nooks.
Through shaded corridors and lengthened balls
Thy name shall still be breathed among the
books.
Though Time 'gainst thee his fateful shaft have
bent.

Wtllium T. Yohti, llie Second Victim, Killed
There on Snturtlny Afternoon.
Tbe second fatality attending the erec
tion of the new stone arch baidge, known
os No. 6, occurred on Saturday afternoon,
Arthur Doouss, who was drowned there,
being the other. The unfortunate young
man was William T. Yolin, of Lancaster,
who had charge of u gang of workmen.
Mr. Yohn was one of the most trusted of
Brown Brother's employes, and a young
man aged about twenty-eight years. He
leaves a young wife, having been married
only about three months.
The men, at the .{me of the accident,
were engaged in placing the large stones
in the arches in process of construction.
A heavy stone was suspended by the
crane, and was being moved around
slowly to where it. was wanted Y ihn and
some of his men were below. Another
heavy stone unexpectedly slipped and,
knoeking against either tbe crane or some
of its supports caused a jar. The hold of
the " dogs" on the stone being lifted by
the crane slipped and the stone fell strik.
ing Mr. Yohn on the side of his head and
face, killing him instantly.
His remains were shipped to the mor
gue here, where they were prepared and
yesterday they were shipped on Day Ex
press to his home at. Lancaster.
Varfrhirchal Old Age.
T)r. W. W. Walters on Saturday visited
an old gentleman at Bolivar, named
William Bees, who is in his 102 d year,
having been 101 years of age last June.
He found the old gentleman suffering
with that common enemy, the grip. It is
his first sickness for many years. Con
sidering his age his physical and mental
powers are plienominal. Except that he
has a weak heart Ihere is a prospect of
his living many years yet. On Friday
evening he ate a hearty supper, previous
to which he had taktu a valk in the gar
den. His memory of old things is clear,
and many persons ol not more than sev
enty years are more aged in appearance
than he is. He was very indignant at a
Saltsburg reporter, who visited him
lately, and said that the old man was a
moderate drinker, whereas he is a total
abstainer from alcoholic drinks, but likes
his pipe of tobacco several limes a day.
He is quite cheerful and is kept scrupu
lously clean by his faithful daughter,
Rachel.
Tlmt Tariff Debate.
""Some time ago, as has beeu stated, the
Henry George Club of this city chal
lenged the Young Men's Republican Club
to a debate on the tariff. The challenge
was accepted, and the Henry George Club
invited the other club to send a commit
tee to meet with their committee, arrange
fo details, to which the reply was made
that the latter was not quite ready for die
debate, not being yet provided a room
or efficiently organized, but that soon
they would be ready. The debate, which
promises to be interesting, will come off
before long.
Even the Been are Fooled.
On Saturday as Mr. C. Keim was mak
ing the extension to his marble works on
Adam street, he came across a piece of
board in which were quite a lot of live

A scheme for utulizing the water power
of Niagara Fulls is in progress under a
churti r granted in 1880 bv a company
that embraces a large amount ot capital.
It is thought to be practicable by the men
who are in I lie undertaking to convey this
power as far as Buffalo (twenty niles) for
lighting that cily with electi icily, and.
new ways of using and conveying the in
exbaustable force of Niagara river, it is
thought, will be discovered in the future.
The young Duke ol Orleans, who has
just turned up in Paris in such a Hu nt
rical way, is described as a very fat,
blonde youngster, with a face rather like
the juvenile portraits of Louis XVI., and
altogether unlike the sallow young Bona
partes. lie is credited with genuine
bravery, which Plon Plon and his family
are not overburdened with ; but still more
important is the fact that lie lots great
wealth at his back. His grandfather, the
Duke of Montpensier, who has just died,
left a colossal fortune in available securi
ties, beside his huge estates. It is esii
mated that the young Orleans will get
nearly-half of Ibis, and his share is placed
at $20,000,000. It is quite possible that this
is what Ins stirred the young man up to
his latest lark.

RULES FOR LENT.
Arrlibisiiop Ryan Issues Instructions to
Guide the Faithful.
The instructions to be followed by Ro
man Catholics for the observance of Lent
have just been issued by order of Arch
bishop By ail.
The instructions says : " Ail the faith
ful who have completed their twenty-first
year are bound to observe the fast of
Lent, unless dispensed for legitimate
reasons. The persons exempted from
fasting are: the infirm, those under
twenty one years of age, women in
yregnancy or nursing infants, those who

are enfeebled by old age. Only one ful
meal a day is allowed, except on Sundays.
On the days on which permission is grant
ed to eat meat, both meat and fish are not
to be Used at the same meal. A collation
or partial meal is allowed in the evening.
It should never exceed eight ouncee. By
virtue of an indultof the Holy See the
following special dispensations are
granted: Bread, butter, cheese, fruit of
all kinds, salads, vegetables and fish are
permitted at the collation. Milk and eggs
are also allowed.

principal meal cannot be taken at midday,
it is permitted to change the order, tak

" Besides the obligation of fasting im
posed by the cjiureb, earnest prayer is de
sired, and to such seclusion from the
amusements of ihe woild as one's state
will permit, and also to generous alms
giving.
" Holy communion must he approach
ed. The time for receiving the Holy Eu
charist extends from the first Sunday of
Lent to Trinity Sunday inclusive."
Contractors Have Their Hands Full.
The contractors and builders of the city
have about all they can do making ready
for the spring's work. Those having
buildings to erect have to look for con
tractors. instead of the contractors having
to look for work, as is sometimes the case.
Next spring and summer will witness the
greatest activity in building that has ever
taken place anywhere in the State.

SUIT ABOUT A HORSK.
A Litigation the KeHiilt ot a Sale of a Horne
to Cliarleit Leventry by John Pender.
Justice Hart's capacious office was en
tirely inadequate to accommodate the par
ties interested in a suit before him on Sat
urday last. The issue joined was between
Charles Leventry as plaintiff and John
Pender, defendant. Mr. Leventry thought
he had been cruelly and basely deceived
in the purchase of a horse from the de
fendant. Ricdard Shoup, Esq., appeared
for the plaintiff and James 11. O'Conncr,
Esq., orated for the defendant. All the
horsemen in town—and their number
seemed legion—were present us witnesses
for one or the other of the litigants. It
being Mr. Shoup's maiden effort as a
limb of the law, considerable interest was
manifested as to how he would size up as
to the wiles and ways known only to older
members of the profession. The general
verdict was that for the kind of a case in
hand and the way in which his witnesses
testified, he handled the affair with sin
gular ability. As for his colleague it is
only necessary to remark that lie prose
cuted his side of the case with all the vim
and " aplomb " of which he is msster.
Prom the evidence it would appear that
Mr. Pender sold Mr. Leventry a horse
about a week ago. When the latter under
took to ride the animal from Pender's
livery stable, where the sale was made, it,
not being broken to the saddle, did not
behave in away that suited the purchaser.
He then wanted to rue his bargain, but
Mr. Pender said that as the lioise, being
only a four-year-old, was not broken to
be ridden, it was used too roughly by the
plaintiff. ' lie, however, took away the
animal, which later was found out to be a
"cribber." This caused the plaintiff to
bring the horse back, which he did and
demanded his money-.sloo. It was re
fused him and he then let the horse loose
at the stable. It wandered about the town
a couple of days without anything to eat
till it was picked up by Constable Martin
and turned over to High Constable Harris,
who advertised the animal for sale, it not
having been claimed by anyone when ad
vertised as a stray by the former consta
ble.
There was quite an interest taken in the
matter when Mr. Pender was put upon
the witness stand. Mr. Shoup first asked
him how long he had been in the horse
business, to which he made reply that he
had been handling and dealing in horses
since he was ten years old. "Do you
kuow the general reputation of horse
dealers asked Mr. Shoup. " Yes," said
Mr. Pender, " They are about like the
lawyers I'd about as soon trust a
horse-tliief as a lawyer any day." This
brought down the house, and it was some
minutes before the case could be proceed
ed with. About fifteen witnesses were
examined before the case was closed,
most of them testifying that the horse was
worth the money paid.
The closing speeches were brief and
very much to the point, at the conclusion
of whicn the learned justice reserved his
decision until the following Monday.
Our surmise, from a careful hearing of
the case leads us to the conclusion that
Mr, O'Connor had the longest pole and
consequently secured the persimmon.
It May Not Me Scull,
Philadelphia Record.
Colonel Edward Scull, the veteran ed
itor of the Somerset Herald, who has rep
resented the Twentieth District in the
Ilouse for two sessions, will also have
some trouble getting a rcnomination.
Colonel Scull asserts that his relations
with Senator Quay arc very pleasant, but
some persons say his assertion docs not
refer to tilings political. He has also
gotten into trouble about the offices, and is
even accused of the heinous crime
of dickering with the Democrats. Hon.
John Cessna, of Bedford,who favors cold
water and seems never tc> grow old. is
mentioned for the succession. So is
George T. Swank, editor of the Johus
town Tril/une, but Mr. Swank claims to
have no political aspirations at present.
Blair, Cambria and Somers t counties,
which are in the district, have all had
their turn in the House since a Bedford
man sat there, and from a geographical
poiut of view Cessna's argument is un*
answerable. There are likely to be other
patriots in Bedford, however.
Grateful Honors.
Carrolltown News.
In accordance with au invitation exf
tended by the citizens of Johnstown some
time, ago, Adjutant General D. 11. Hast
ings and his wife arrived at Johnstown on
Saturday, where, iu the evening, tlicy
were accorded a bountiful reception.
Such evidence of gratitude, springing
rom the hearts of those who appreciate
the untiring and- benevolent work of the
'• hero of Johnstown" subsequent to the
flood, in bclmlf of suffering and afflicted
humanify there, stamps the seal of con
demnation upon the underhanded work
of Quay and bis political tools, at the late
Republican convention, in this county,
in indelible colors, which will stand forth
as an honor to ttio General, when the
doubtful honors of Quay aud Delemater
and their dishonestly achieved political
success, have long been forgotten by
future generations in this country, aud
especially by those of Cambria county.

A SHOOTING ON SATI lin.VV NIGHT
William Craig and Joseph Lynch Imbibe
Too Freely, Onarrel and now the Latter
Has a Hull in His Hoily.
Railroad street in Johnstown borough,
near the Coneraauirh borough line, was
the scene of a shooting nu Saturday night
between ten and eleven o'clock. Two
men, more or less under the influence of
liquor most of the time, were going up
the street together „ quarreling. For some
provocation the smaller of the two—Wil
liam Craig, said to hail from Baltimore
snapped his revolver at the other, who is
a large man named Joseph Lynch, said to
be from Philadelphia. The revolver did
not go off at the first trial, and Lynch
grappled with Craig to prevent a further
effort on Ins part to shoot. Being the
larger of the two and having hold of
Craig from behind Lynch prevented any
further attempt at shooting for a few mo
ments, when Craig asked to be let loose.
Lynch wanted to be assured that there
would be no shooting. To this Craig
agreed, hut as soon as lie was released he
wheeled around and fired a -hot into
Lynch, the ball taking effect near his hip
bone and penetrating some distance,
where it lodged. Craig then went on up
to Conemaugh borough, where lie met
Officer Mintzer to whom he gave himself
up, handing over his revolver a 32-cali
bre—and some cartridges. He told the
otHcer that he had shot some one and that
he surrendered himself. The officer at
first thought it was a joke, hut upon be
ing assured of the truth ot his statement
he took Craig to the lockup. Officers
Mintzer and Brindle then returned lolook
for the man who had been .shot, whom
after some searching they found in Sagcr
sou's saloon. Later he was taken to the
Seventh Ward Hospital, where Dr. W. B.
Lawman probed for the ball without be
ing successful in rinding it. To-day
Lyncii was turned over to the authorities
of the poor and Dr. G. E. Conrad treated
him.
Not long after the shooting occurred
Constable Martin, of the Third ward arri
ved upon the scene as did also Constable
Waters, of the Seventh ward. The former
soon procured a warrant and then went
Up to notify the Conemaugii borough
authorities to hold Craig till the Johns
town take things iti hand,
but Policeman Jack Jones had proceeded
Martin and persuaded the authorities at
the lock-up to let hira have Craig, as the
offense was committed in Johnstown bor
ough. This somewhat mixed matters up,
but Mr. Waters proceeded to the Johns
town lock-up, where Craig had been taken
and served the warrant on him. Craig
was left in the lock up, and will have a
.tearing this moining.
Craig and Lynch are both brick-layers,
the former being regarded as somewhat
simple at times. He is known to be a
strong drinker. Neither one, i s near as
can be learned is a very steady character.
Both had been drinking iicfot'e the shoot
ing took place.

There is a big railroad project on foot
in several counties in central Pennsyl
vania. The Pennsylvania Company is
the prime factor in the contemplated en
terprise. The scheme is to develop the
deposits of coal, iron, limestone, fire clay,
potter's clay, etc., that are to be found in
the counties of Huntingdon, Clearfield,
Indiana, Blair, Jefferson, Bedford, and
Centre. During the past year several en
gineer corps have been making surveys,
and the Pennsylvania people, learning
their object have concluded to act. It
has been ascertained thai the Pennsyl
vania will bring all its branches in thkt
section into direct connection with its
main line, making such changes in routes
as will obviate heavy grades and shorten"
distances. The Indiana branch will be
double tracked from Bluirsvillc Intersec
tion, and a survey has already been made
which will extend the branch twenty
eight miles to tap the coke fields in the
vicinity of Punxsutawney. The projected
line will pass through a rich agricultural
district and where a superior quality of
coaking coal can he found in abundauce,
A line will be run from Glen Cameron to
Gazzatp, where it will connect with the
Osceola branch of the Tyrone and Clear
field branch. Then the Glen Cameron
spur will be extended to Punxsutawney,
where the Indiana branch will be met
and a through line will he effected. The
proposed freight route to the East will
tap the main line at Bolivar Junction,
following it cast to Conemaugh, where it
will diverge and, taking the old canal
bed, will connect with the Williamsburg
and Martinsburg branch along the Juniata
liver to a point cast of Petersburg. Here
it strikes the maiu line again. This route
will not only avoid heavy grades, but
will be at least tliirty-livc miles shorter,
besides relieviug the main line of the
freight traffic.

Near tlie Stone Bridge Yesterday Alter
noon.
Saturday afternoon about 8:30 o'clock,
a gang of* three strangers, who afterward
gave their names as William Vance, Wil
liam Custer, and Frank Bradley, met two
mea, named John Stuart and James Flem
ming, who wo-k iu tiiis place, and de
manded drink. The latter replied that
they had none except what was in them.
'1 lie scene of t lis was between the Penn
sylvania Railroad station and the stone
bridge, somewhat nearer the latter place.
T'pon reeeivii.g the reply given above
the gang of three demanded money,
which for a good and sufficient reason
was not handed over, words followed,
and then came threats. To bring things
to a crisis one of the three knocked one
of the twain down with a piece of bal
last. Then came the war. Stones, bal
last, coupling pius and other misiles were
interchanged with little regard for per
sonal security. It was not unlike a
shower of grape ami canister in limes of
mortal combat. Ever and anon a stone
or piece of ballast would take effect,
making an ugly mark on the man hit. A
crowd from the station and other places
was attracted as were also Policemen
Kelly, of Millville borough, and Clark, of
tiie Pennsylvania Railroad Company. At
the appearance of the latter the rioters
dispersed, Stuart ami Fleming heading
toward the Iron street school house,
where they were captured by officers
Boucher and Kees, hut not without diffi
culty, one of tiie offenders having sought
hiding in the school house. The other
three Vance, Custer, and Bradley were
taken by officers Kelly and Clark.
All five were taken to the Millville lock
up and put behind the bars, where they
remained Ml! T o'clock, when a hearing
was giyen them. They were given five
days each i.i> default of paying $0.90 each,
fines tfnd costs. ,
It is the intention to make information
to morrow moining again-t the offenders
for riot.
None of the participants in the riot j
were severely hurt, but Stuart and Flom- !
ing carry several ugly cuts and bruises.

ever, that they followed the Susquehanna
from Cherrytrec to Andrew S'rittmatter's,
u mile and a half this side of Carrolltown i
when they then followed very nearly the

their work witli the Ebensburgh & Cres

Brother Creery, of tiie Carrolltown
JCctt, in speaking of a recent visit of his
father to his place, makes use of the fol
lowing interesting statement: •' We were
much gratified last Friday by the appear
ance of our aged father in our home. Al
though one of the earliest settler.-' in the
wilderness near Cherrytree, Indiana
county, exposed to nil the hurships of pqi
necr life, a life-long lumberman, subject
to all the exposure incident to cutting and
getting lumber to the eastern markets by
way of the raging Susquehanna, his six
foot frame is yet as straight as an arrow,
with little to indicate a life of eighty-five
years except his white hair and slightly
failing hearing. He walked to Carroll
town, a distance of twelve miles and says
he can yet knock any of hi* hoys out in
the first round. Wc don't believe it, but
prefer to refer bim to one of our bigger

•• The Story ot Johnstown."
" The Story of Johnstown," a finely
printed and elegantly illustrated book on
the Johnstown flood, of which Mr. J. J.
McLauren, of Ilanisburg, is author, and
Mr. James M. Place, of the seme city,
publisher, meets the unqualified approval
of those who have seen it. It truly is the
story of Johnstown, beginuing as it does,
with a history of the place fn in its first
settlement. Much early history of the
county is given also. The style is most
pleasing. Apt quotations and classical
allusions, such as seldotu adorn the pages
of any work, arc to be found on alim st
every page. As a literary work it has f- w
equals, while the account of the great dis
aster shows that the most careful atten
tion has been given to the truthful narra
tion of facts. The work is having a large
sale.
It Will Not Down.
Wharton Barker's American, discussing
the recent Republican Convention in
Cambria county, says : " The manner,
therefore, in which the delegates to the
State Convention were chosen in that
county was one of political inunoitality.
It was on the plan in which .Mr. Quay is
an adept, and which, it appears, Mr. Del
amater is also ready to employ. * * *
The mechanical methods are almost uni
formly immoral, and often tlasiardly. Mr.
Delainatcr has made a gross mistake,
however, in availing himself of this means
of over-reaching his competitor. The del
egates of Cambria county, thus dishonor
ably procured, will be a fresh burden
upon bis already heavily-loaded pnliueal
fortunes."

A child that is reared amid pleasant sur
roundings and whose mind is filled with 1
pleasant thoughts will have a pleasing
face. The shape of the nose and chin
will depend entirely upon the strength"
and character of the mental faculties. At
ten a hoy's nose may be small and turned
tip at the end: at fifteen it may have
grown larger and be straight on top, and *
at twenty-five it may be a pronounced
Roman. It all depends upon bis mind.
Tlte Romans bad big noses with high
bridges because they were a steady and
determined race of people. Sturdiness.
and determination will give a man a
Roman nose, no matter how little or how,
stubby a man's proboscis may have been
when in' was born. The Greeks had
straight, delicate, finely-chiseled no-cs
because their tastes were artistic and
poetic. You never saw a poet or an
artist witli a Roman or a snub nose, did
you ? On the other band, it would be
hard to find a great general who had not
a Roman nose. Get pictures of Alex
ander the Great, Ciesar, Frederick tlte '
Great. .Napoleon, Wellington, Washing
ton, Graut, Sheridan, or Lee, and see if
they haven't all got big. strong noses of
the Romanesque type. Yet it is quite
safe to say that if we could have portraits
of all these personages, taken in infancy,
we would find their olfactory organs
little puggy affairs, not unlike those of
the common run of babies. Those men
were not generals because they had '
Roman noses : they had Roman noses be
cause they were great generals.
