Editor and publisher, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28, 1890. THE WAV THE PUBLIC MONET GOES. Contractors who built gunboats for the Government during the war are still beg ging for more moucy. One of the claims (McKay'*) was allowed by Congress, nnd the bill was veto*d by Mr. Cleveland. The Republicans will allow all these, and no one knows the exact amount involved. It will reach millions. The building of the United State* peni tentiaries is a worthy object, but there is corruption in the present scheme. It will call tor the expenditure of $1,000,- Te present cost of keeping Federal pris oners it $090,000 per annum. It will be twice as much under the new system. The Republicans intend to pass the di rect tax bill, which Mr. Cleveland vetoed. This will cost about $20,000,000. They intend to pass the Blair edur a. tlonal bill, which will involve an expendi ture of $77,000,000. Many millions will be granted as sub' sidie* to ships in the foreign carrying trade ar.d for mail service. It is intended to add hundreds of mil ions to the pension account by the re peal of the limitation in arrears act. The term fixed in the original statin- was 1889. There will be passed the biggest river and harbor bill at this season of Congress that the country has ever known. The Hale navy bill and the Dolph fortifications bill involve at least $850,- 000.000. A service pension bill will be passed, which will call for an expenditure of $200,000,000. It is speaking within bounds to say that the thirteen regular pension bills will aggregate not less than $100,000,000 more than those of the last season. The Hennepin canal alone will cost $21,- 000 000. With the rules of the House as they are at present, and a clear chance for jobbery in the Senate, theie will belittle difficulty in putting through tiie proposed measures to do away with the surplus. Almostevery scheme projected by the Government gets into the handset the jobbers before it goes far. At the prsseut day Congress does very little exccept to provide for spending the people's money. ON HIE HARRISON BI.OCK. New York Bun. The appointment of a negro of the name of Dudley as Postmaster at Americus, Georgia, seems ti he as distasteful to the white Republicans as to the that State. It cannot be said that the oh jtctio ito Dudley is founded upon the mere accident of color if the story told in the Atlanta Constitution by Col. Jack Brown, an Americus Republican now living at Washington, is true. Perhaps, however, some allowance must be made, as Col. Jack is not fond of Col. Buck, the Republican boss of Georgia, and has a son who thinks that the Americus Post mastarship is about his size. But Col. Jack's narative is told with considerable spirit and has at least an air ot probabil ity : 51 It Is a lame excuse to put the appointment of Dudley on the grounds ot a reward Dudley lias already been rewarded. I went to the Chicago Convention In the Interest ot Allison. Sherman paid the expenses of Buck and the en ure Georgia delegation to Chicago, and put up some extra money besides. " Dudley's expenses were, however, not In truded. He paid his own way theie. Ills seat wus contested, and. Buck, who had Sherman's funds to dispense, paid the expenses of Elbert Ueud, another negro who contested Dudley's seat, and who, Buck thought, would get It. Buck, you know, divided out the Sherman boodle among the Georgia boys. "Well, In Chicago, I found Dudley had paid Ills own expenses. 1 collared him and lead lilm up to Allison's headquarters. Dud ley wanted SIOO. I offered him to GOV. Gear and Mr. Henderson, who ha i charge of Allison's headquarters, at that amount. They, however refused to buy him. Allison was not buying del egates. Then I lead the negro out like a mule, and put him on the Harrison block. BUI Dud ley, of Indiana, quickly bid his price, and got him for Harrison. The negro, Dudley, carried out his contract. He got his money, all he ask ed. and now he gels a postodlce besides." Col. Jack Brown, it will be observed, doesn't take high moral ground in regard to the little change of commodities which he describes as passing between the two Dudleys. Whnt sticks in his crop is that Dudley of Americus got a reward from Dudley of Indianapolis for voting for Harrison. and now gets another reward from Harrison for the same service. C(.l. Jack seems to have a shade of regret, to, because the Allison men were not buying delegates. Perhaps if the colored Dudley had been offered to some candidate with more cap ital than the Harrison managers had, more than a hundred dollars might have been paid. Why didn't Col. Jack take him to the Alger headquarters ? The | Wolverine hero was said to take a great ' iuterestin Southern delegates. If Mr. John Sherman believes in Col. Jack's story, he can hardly feel disposed to vote for the confirmation of Dudley. And what will Gen. Harrison think ? Can It be possible that any wicked person or persons got voles for him in the National Convention bv arguments to the purse ? And, not merely as a matter of morals, but as a matter of plitics, can lie afford to give postofficcs to delegates already subsidized ? • ► TWO TOUNG WOMEN KII.LEO. They .lump Wildly From a Carriage During a Runaway. The runaway occurred on Saturday af ternoon ou the boulevard between New ark and Elizabeth by which two young women lost their lives. Misses Mary F., Carrie and Lottie Tyler, three sisters of Newark, started for a drive to Elizabeth in a two-seated surrey. While passing on the boulevard, the team of horses attached I to the vehicle took fright from the dis j charge of guns by the East Side Gun Club, | whose members were having a pigeon s'looting match. The horses became un ; manageable and finally ran away, despite the exertions of the colored coachman. The young women lost their presence of mind and leaped wildly from the carriage. Mary E. Tyler, aged thirty-six, who is a teacher in the Lawrence street public school in Newwark struck ou her head on the macadamized roud, crushing her skull and badly lacerating her face. She was picked up insensible and carried to tho hotel, where sho died half an hour later. Her sister Carrie, age twenty-six, who is a teacher in the Summer avenue school, wus likewise unconseious when taken up. Dr. James 8. Green after ex amining Miss Carrie, said that licr case was serious, as she was suffering from concussion ot the brain. She died a few hours later. The third inmate of the carriage, Miss Lottie Tyler, escaped with a few slight bruises. The horses ran only a few hun dred feet after the accident when they were stopped. The ladies were taken to Elizabeth, and the sister who had escaped was taken to her home heart-broken. The men who did the shooting will be ar rested. COURT PROCEEDINGS. Special Term—The First Day's Work. Court met at 2 p. M., on Monday, noth ing having been done at the morning ses sion ou account of the late arrival of the train. Tlie first seven cases were cither con tinued or attachments were issued for witnesses. In the case of Patrick Stanton against Charles Zimmerman a jury wag called and sworn. The counsel for the defense stated that it was an appeal from the decision of a justice of the peace and that a question of jurisdiction would likely arise. The court asked to see the transcript of the Justice's record, and when lie had examined it he ruled that on the face of the transcript the justice fad no jurisdiction. The counsel for the plaintiff submitted to a judgment for non suit with leave to move to strike off said judgment of non-suit whenever his client was prepared to commence the suit in court. The merits of the case were not entered into. The ODly point ruised wus as to the jurisdiction ot the justice. The next case called was that ot Gal lagher vs. Flynn Brothers. A jury was called aud sworn, and the case had not been disposed of when court adjourned, Monday evening. A FAMILY POISONED. A Mysterious Adair—One ot tlie Mcmbeig Expected to Die Lust Night. About a week ago a family named Boyer, residing on the hill above Hubcr street in Conemaugh borough, near the Frankstown road, was attacked with mys terious and sudden illness. The family consists of father and mother, und two boys aged eight and six years. The fam ily came here from Reading after tlie flood, and the husband has made a precarious living for them. Dr. W. E. Matthews was sent for and found them all ill. and lias been attending them ever since. He thinks they are suffering from lead poison ing, as the patients have all the symptoms indicating that. The family has used quite a lot of canned goods. Tho water they use, however, comes from a very filthy well on the premises. The mother's right ami wus paralyzed yesterday, and the others are affected in that way. Last evening it was thought the older boy would not live until this morning. Valuable Addition to the Library. The latest edition of Webster's Una bridged Dictionary and Johnson's Uni versal Cyclopu'dia (complete in eight vol. umes) have been added to the library of the Young Men's Christian Assoication, and serve as a valuable reference to many who have felt the need ever since the flood. The total number of books re ceived thus fur from friends reaches nearly six hundred, besides over SIOO cash. Books can be drawn for two weeks for $2 a year. Since last public ac knowledgement the following have sent to the Association contributions : W. S. Hocking, city, one book; Daniel Baumer, city, two books ; friend, through W. A. Stewart, city, two books ; C. A. Frank, city, five books ; Murphy & Company, Cleveland, 0., cash $5; the Bejmer, Baumsn Lead Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., cash $lO ; through C. L.

Mack's illustrated lecture on the Johns town flood will he delivered at the Ein tracht Hall, Bedford street, on Saturday evening npxt at 8 o'clock, Doorsopcn at 1 7:80. MR. WILLIAM 11. POTTi 1 K.VD. 1 The Pn<l Came Ye*terdsy Afternoon Almur 8:30 O'Cloek, Mr. William 11. Potts died at the resi | dence of Mr. Andrew Beck, No. 498 Chapin street,Conetnaugh borough,Tucs j day afternoon about 2:30 o'clock. I Mr. Potts came here in 1879, wl en the j Gautier Mills were removed here from ! Jersey City. He was a roll turner by oc | cupation, and for many years held the , position of boss roll-turner at the Gautier Mills. About two years after coming here he married Miss Ella, daughter of Mr. James K. Davis, of Conemaugh borough, who survives him. They had DO children. Prior to the flood Mr. and Mrs. l'otts lived at No. 29 Maple avenue, VVoodvale. Alarmed by the high water on the morn ing of May 2!st they sought safety on the h'gher ground, thus escaping the delug.e Their home and ail its contents were lost, and the excitement and hardships incideul to living here after the flood bore too heavily on Mr. Pott's health, which for some time previous had been some what delicate. Since that great trial he grew steadily worse till, as stale 1, '.eilh ended all. The deceased was a very popular and a much esteemed man. Few strang ers coming to the city in so short a time had as many friends as he had. He was a gentleman of more than ordinary ability, having strong conyictions. wnicli he never feared to express. SOIIKIISETM NKW JAIL. The Prlaonera May be Tranaferreil to the Keeping ot the Cambria Couuty Jailor. Somerset Democrat. The County Commissioners expect to begin the work of tearing down the old jail building by April Ist, so that Messrs. Davis, sub-contractois, can commence the erection of the new one on the pres ent aite. The Messrs. Davis have the contract for the brick and stone work, and are poshiug right ahead with brick making at their yard south of town and are having the heavy stone cut ready for laying. In the meantime the Commis sioners are casting about to obtain a favorable contract for the keeping of the prisoners in the jaii of one of our adjacent counties while the new jail is being built. The prisoners will be taken in all proba bility to either Ebentburg or Indiana. l'ald t T p After Being Arrentrtl. Arnold Gloor, a saloon keeper and butcher o' Cambria, owed Fisher & Co., a liquor debt of $l5O. It was an ante flood debt, and even after being notified several times by Mr. J. M. Sliumaker, the Administrator of the estate of Johu Streuin, of the firm of Fisher & Co ,Gloor wanted a percentage off from the face of the debt anil got troublesome in his delay to pay. He was sued and judgment was obtained against him. He disposed of all his effects here and was about ready to de part for Germany. He was arrested at the P. It. 11. Station, charged with the inten tion of defrauding his creditor. He gave bail for his appearance at a hearing, but yesterday afteruoon he town and paid Mr. Sliumaker the lull amountof the debt, and of course all action is estopped. $ For Aftiteinbly. In the proper column in the DEMOCRAT this morning the name of Mr. John E. Strayer appears as a candidate for the nomination for Assembly. Mr. Strayer is well kuown throughout the couuty having been a candidate for this office four years ago, at which time he received a very large vote. To the people of Johustown and vicinity he is known as u pushing, aggressive citizen, witli his sympathies always on the side ol the people. His ability to fill this posi tion is fuliy recognized. and his fearless ness in advocating principles he believes to he right is a rare qualitv which w-il make him n strong candidate.

Injured at the Joliiihoii Work*. John Klott, who works on the hot-bed in the rolling mill of the Johnson Com pany, at Moxham, met with an accident yesterday which might have terminated his life. lie was walking between the hot-bed and the " curver " when a red hot rail came out from the saw and struck him on the right leg, inflicting a fearful wound about ten inches long and three or four inches wide. Dr. Lowman attended the injured man. A man named Miller, who worked with Klott, said that if the nil had struck him squarely it would have ceitainly killed him. A child's foot was found yestenluy morning back of Honeymoon row on water street. The foot was in a spring heel button shoe. A search failed to dis cover any further remains. NOVEL AND NEWSPAPER. The Lttor Said to Lie Intrenching Upon the Vormer. Very often we hear that this is the age of the novel, but quite as often do we hear that it is SIBO the age of the news paper. Slight observation would be needed to establish the truth of either statement. One has only to see the woe ful exhibit of pirated paper books on the stalls of hotels and railway stations for at least a partial understanding of how fiction almost usurps, at present, the en tire domain of belles-lettres; and with respect to the much belauded "enter prise" of journalism, what weightier evi dence could be presented than that of the bulky quintuple and sextuple sheets which now and then rear their presumpt uous little hillocks from our breakfast tables? In the latter it would appear as if all phases of life eventually find por trayal. Though it may be iron in the soul of the novelist to say so, the newspaper has actually achieved a style. Grammar forsooth! We must look to our own verbs and nominatives nowadays, lest Printing House square prod our choicest prose with its pen and hold up before merciless throngs a hideous, wriggling blunder of whoso existence we had not dreamed. Day after day wo stare, wide eyed, upon certain "effects" lavishly thrown away, a3 we can't help calling it, on the merest ephemeral descriptions. And then we have a pang of envy when we telrourselves that nervous and forci ble writing can actually be accom plished, like this, by a man who knows lie is of necessity only manufacturing "alms for oblivion." We, the professional novelists, have grown so careful how we fling any pre cious bits of art into that huge and fathomless ocean of the "unsigned." We begin to look on the ethical side of the question, and to assure ourselves that this writing as well as a fellow can write, without caring a fig for any fame that may come of it, is a rather excel lent straightjacket for the egotist. Then the modern journalist, by his calm capac ity, wrought of drill and discipline, can waken in the sensitive man of letters a pang of shame. Here is our famous Robinson, pet of the publishers, who can't write, let us say, except with a certain kind of pen, at a certain kind of desk, seated on a certain kind of chair bottom and amid sepulchral silence. But with Jones, firm of nerve and unspoiled by daintiness, it is quite a different mat ter. He can reel you off his astonish ingly good "copy" in a tiny little room that smells of sour paste and trembles with the cacophonies of the elevated. Now that realism has gained such headway witli the big public of novel readers, the newspaper is becoming all the more a rival of the fictionist. So close is the analogy between their pro ductions that the reporter constantly speaks of his own and his comrades' work as a good or bad "story," and un questionably so regards it. The instant that such effort as this deserves to be called literature, its challenge grows a more than formidable one. Not long ago I read in a New York newspaper a description of an execution on which, as it seemed to me, had been be stowed eloquence and care of a very striking kind. In their thirst for actuality, one is prone to ask why readers should not prefer literary power when thus expended upon narra tives that are fragments of living fact. Beyond doubt a preference of the sort is augmenting, and one with its increase directly proportionate to the skill and Itrength of our developing journalists. Any one who glances through a newspaper of the best character might be apt to pronounce it in some respects a unique and spirited story book. Its tales are treated with a reserve and dig nity of expression that are no doubt the heritage bequeathed us by great dead stylists. At the same timo they have nothing of the old fashioned "beginning, middle and end' s about them. They sometimes "turn out" with all the dis mal abruptness beloved by tho Russian story tellers. There is too frequetly neither a conventional hero nor heroine, and only a few grizzly glimpses of hu manity serve to replace their absence. The stream of narration runs between ragged banks and with haphazard cur rent, but we feel that it mirrors no im agined sky, and that the weeds trailing in its tides are a growth of no mythic meadows. When invested with authen tic art these little histories make very pungent and memorable reading. Be sides, if there be a cult, a wave of ten dency, in their direction, all the more must they demand respectful heed. It is not so very long ago that "plot" was an im]>erativo essential in the Eng lish novel, and to this popular require ment Dickens again and again unhesi tatingly, though often hunglingly, bowed. Thackeray, however, had from the first sneered at the ancient methods, and we all remember that passage in the early part of "Vanity Fair," where the humor now seems so cumbrous, and where he tells us that he might have made it a dark and tempestuous night instead of the sunshiny day in Mayfair that it had the commonplace misfortune really to be. For Thackeray, both to his frantic devotees and his more rational observers, must be admitted as the first real English naturalist in fiction after Fielding. • • • The world moves along, in spite of certain well meant, if misdirected, efforts to the contrary. And no stronger proof of this could be brought forward than the way in which naturalistic novel writing is today being justified and confirmed as a desired and prized form of art by the tendency of the modern newspaper. Will it also, in the course of time, be eclipsed by the newspaper as well? I confess that I sometimes tremble for the craft of which I am an earnest, if hum ble, representative, when I see with what force and finish a thousand topics ate treated. • • • Innumerable actorsin the immense human comedy arc sketched with vivid fidelity and sometimes appeal ing power.

We meet some queer people among the many who are constantly flitting into and out of this store, but an old mun and his wife, upon whom I waited a few days ago, took the prize for pure, unadulter ated simplicity. The couple were evi dently on their first visit from the coun try. When I approached them the old lady, who was undoubtedly master of ceremonies, stated that they wanted to purchase a soup tureen." "Do you want plated ware or silver? I asked. "Solid silver, ter be sure, the woman responded, with a glance that, had I been anybody else than a salesman, would have frozen me. After seeing a number of designs the old lady decided upon one and inquired the price. "One hundred and twenty dollars, I answered, as I called "to a boy to take the article to the shipping room. "What!" she almost screamed. "One hundred and twenty dollars fer that? Wall, I swan!" For a few minutes they gazed at me, as if I had expressed an intention of robbing them, after which they conferred together. Presently the old gentleman turned around, and in a quivering voice said he guessed they'd better buy a plated tureen, as that was just as good. We have several dozen designs in plated ware in stock, and after critically examining each one thoold lady plucked up courage enough to ask the price of one that had only recently been pro duced, and was selling for $lB. When I mentioned the price, she looked blankly at her husband and said she guessed we didn't have anything to suit them. As they were going out of the store, I over heard the remark, "What mighty dear stores these in New York are, ter be sure. I wouldn't pay mor'n $3 fer a soup tureen—no, not if it was the only one in thecountry."—Jewelers'Weekly. Runes In the Loag Ago. Hon. William Gould, of Windham, in a letter to The Portland Press, gives an account of Ransom, who in the first years of the present century came to Portland and pretended to be able to transmute metals. From lead found on a small island near Freeport he obtained' silver. He had his crucibles and other apparatus in a shop on Exchange street. Several reputable citizens were deceived and fleeced. It was finally proposed that he be watched, and a hole was bored over his private room. It was found that he rolled up a pistareen, a coin worth twenty cents, and inserted it in the end of the wauil with which he 6tirred the molten contents of his crucible. It had been noticed as a curious fact that the ingot he found in his cruciblo was invariably of the value of a fifth of a dollar. One of the ingredients on which he relied was May dew, and he of fered a high price for its collection. Country people brought in such large quantities of this dew that he was at first appalled. But he got out of it by testing the dew and asserting that the sun had shone on some part of it and spoiled the whole. The water it had cost such labor to gather was poured into the gutter. He was brought to trial and strong ef forts were made to have him exhibited in the pillory, but he escaped punishment. —Lewiston Journal. llewltched Milk. F. S. Bean, a former Oxford dean, now 1 residing in Cadott, Wis., communicates a strange tale of an old Oxford county superstition to The Norway Advertiser. He says that when he was a lad the peo ple of his neighborhood used to believe that an old woman living there was a witch. She became provoked with a neighbor because the latter refused to sell her a cow. and thereafter no butter could be made from that cow's milk. No matter how long they churned, the butter would not come. As the 6tory goes, a girl in the family had heard that a witch could be burned and dispossessed by dropping a red hot horseshoe in the churn witli the cream. She tried the experi ment, whereupon she declared that a scream issued from the churn 1 The but ter soon came, and a scar in the shape of a horseshoe was afterwards seen on the old woman's (x-rson by some imaginative observer. "When I was a boy, I believed the story, but my faith is somewhat shaken now," says Mr. Bean. Wlter* So me Raff* Go. Housewives must often have wondered where all the rags go to after they pass into the wagon of any one of the several hundred ragmen who pass through the alleys with their monotonous cries. These gatherers of old rags take them to warehouses where they aro bought in bulk, and then assorted by girls accord ing to quality. There was a time when most of the rags were sent to paper I mills. Now a very small proportion of rags are made into paper, straw and clay being the chief ingredients. Fine linen paper, so called, is made of rags. Ninety per cent, of the rags collected, however, go into the manufacture of "shoddy," of which cheap ready made clothing is manufactured. This stuff is now made up into the brightest and most attractive j patterns, and can only be told when new [ from wool by the expert, and by experi- j ence with the wearer.—Clothing Man in j St. Louis Globe-Democrat. liOiif Lived Doctors. Physicians appear to conform quite generally to the familiar injunction to heal themselves, save where the com plaint is old age.

A Content of Color*. Up in the red man's country, in which representatives of nearly all races ap pear to have congregated, there was a fistic contest between Messrs.
