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

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.

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

with vivid fidelity and sometimes appeal
ing power. One can imagine Balzac
himself reading with amazement and ad
miration a file of our modern newspaper,

Not Disposed to Invest.
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.

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.

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 [

ence with the wearer.—Clothing Man in j

liOiif Lived Doctors.
Physicians appear to conform quite
generally to the familiar injunction to
heal themselves, save where the com
plaint is old age. The average age of
the decedents of the Massachusetts Medi
cal society during the year 1889 reached
the high figure of sixty-eight years and
a half, which comes very close to the
span of life allotted to man by the
psalmist.—Boston Herald.
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. Blue and
White, and strangely enough they were
both black. The black men were ar- j
