former   Congressman  John M.
Rose suffered a relapse about 0
oclock Monday evening.'   Members of tbe family in  Cambria
county have beea summoned to
his bedside and it is believed he
will not recover.   Heart failure
is said to be the cause of his relapse.
' Mr. Rose   was stricken with
pneumonia last January and for
a long time his condition remained critical.    Then he slowly improved and for some weeks past
he had been convalescing at the
Congrt ss Hall hotel in Washington.   It had been planed to bring
him   baok  to, Cambria county
soon by motor and the news of
his relapse came   as a distinct
shook, both in Johnstown and
among his numerous friends in
Blair county.

as Bellwood and   was joined   by
Mr. Moore who rode with him in
order to show him where to leave
tbe heavy machine.

and tbe men were standing along
the road waiting for a street oar
