NINETY DAYS’ TIME GIVEN ELECTRIC ROAD PEOPLE TO MAKE NEEDED STREET REPAIRS. H. C. Frick. Having Secured Complete PoBeeaeion, Will Improve the Park He Gives the Town. The City Fathers also Adopt a Resolution Setting-themselves Properly Before the Local Taxpayers on the Proposed Sewer Bond Issue. Council held its regular July meeting Monday evening when, following the granting of orders covering June bills, a number of matters of local importance were considered and acted upon. The electric road people were notified that they must commence needed re-pairs on the streets covered by their lines within thirty days and complete the same within three months, or action will be taken to compel them to do so under the $10,000 indemnifying bond they gave the town to make good any damage done. John Polanofsky, the East End hotel man, is about ready to bring an action against the borough for damages he claims are being done his property by water turned in from Main street by the electric road company which Council proposes to hold respon-sible. H. C. Frick will, it is said, soon be in a position to deed to the town the park which bears his name, having finally secured complete possession of the land, in which the W. J. Hitchman estate held a half interest. It is believed the park will now be fenced and improved. With a view, lending any assistance to Council appointed Messrs. Marsh, Pig-man and Faull a committee on property. In order that the taypayers of the Borough of Mount Pleasant may have a clear understanding of the conditions which have made it necessary for the i present Council to ask the voters to permit a further increase of our indebt- Y* edness and that they may know the purposes for which the money derived from said increased indebtedness is to be used, this Council desires to present the following facts for your considera-tion: First of all. we desire yon to remem her that our present system of sewers is a very limited and incomplete one and that, excepting the Main street sewer, all are without terminal facilities and are at the present time emptying upon the property of private citizens within the borough limits and are not only a source of annoyance to said private citi-zens but may become a source of actual damage and a menace to the public * health unless properly taken care of. Council has already been notified by certain citizens upon whose property the aforesaid sewers are emptying that unless said sewers are carried through their property suits will be entered against the borongh for damages. It is a matter of record that the Council has already paid $406.70 to settle a suit for alleged damages sustained by the emp-tying of the Diamond street sewer upon private property with the express agree-ment that this sewer be continued to a point where terminal facilities may be secured. It is a well established fact that the Borongh of Mount Pleasant is so located that terminal facilities for sewers are hard to secure. But, by the generosity of certain property owners in and without the borough, we have been offered certain rights and privi-leges for the completion of sewer ter-minals. These rights and privileges are available at the present time with-out cost to the borongh and may not be hereafter secured upon the Bame terms. It will be remembered that at the time the present sewers were construct- •» ed funds were secured for the purpose by the issuing of sewer certificates and without a vote of the citizens. This procedure was permissable at that time because of the fact that the borough indebtedness had not reached the limit of 2 per cent, upon the assessed valua-tion. Since then, however, by reason of street paving and other improvements, the bonded indebtedness has been in-creased to the limit permitted by law and, consequently, any further increase of indebtedness must be by bond issue. The estimated cost of extending these sewers to secure proper terminals is $10,000, and this sum will become the real increase of indebtedness from this bond issue; while the remaining $6,000 will be used to construct sewers within the borough limits and will revert to the borongh upon assessment of benefits by reason of the construction of said sewers. We would also respectfully call your attention to the recent epidemic of typhoid fever in our borongh, the cause for which was thought by many to be traceable to the condition of the water furnished our citizens by the Mount Pleasant Water Company. But, it will be remembered that a careful analysis of the water made at the time did not reveal the presence of any disease-pro ducing germs. We believe, after a careful inspection of the borough’s sanitary condition, that much of our sickness is directly or in-directly traceable to our incomplete and imperfect system of sewers. You will find by a careful investigation that the above is a true and concise statement of the facts and that these facts are worthy the consideration of every in-telligent voter. D. H. STONER, Pres. W. W. CAMPBELL, Sec’y. M. S. KUHN, Chief Burgess. DR. F. L. MARSH, GLENN K. FAULL, E. B. SWARTZ, D. H. STONER, M. A. KING, MORRIS PIGMAN, ROBINSON COOPER,DAVID EDWARDS, D. K. HERSHBERGER. COKE AND COAL. Items of Interest Gathered From Both Mine and Yard. Duncan Campbell resigned his posi-tion as stable boss at the Frick com-pany’s Central plant Tuesday to take charge of a licensed hotel at Braddock. Robert Cook, late superintendent at the Frick company's Oliphant plant, has been transferred to the same com pany’s Painter works, instead of Central, as stated last week. The Nicola Building & Supply Com-pany, of Pittsburg, has been given the contract to build 40 houses for the Penn Gas Coal Company at Marchand station on the Yougbiogheny railroad. The Frick company will experiment with electric larries at its Coalbrook plant. The power will be supplied by the Pittsburg, McKeesport & Connells-ville Street Railway Company whose line passes close to the ovens. An eastern syndicate, headed by D. W. and II. A. Kuhn, of Pittsburg, have bought the Penn ManorShaft Company’s interests in the Irwin coal field for something like $800,000. The tract, which is most developed, embraces 1,000 acres. TWO QUIET WEDDINGS ALMOST A QUARTER OT A MILLION DOLLARS TURNS UP MISSING. Vast Sums Belonging to Jacob Byers, Left in a Greensburg Safe Deposit Box in Charge of W. S. Byers, Esq., Disappear in the Most Mysterious Manner. MINISTER MAKES LOTS OE TROUBLE FOR LAWYER. Almost a quarter of a million dollars in cash and bonds belonging to Jacob Byers, the veteran Mount Pleasant township farmer who now resides on a farm he owns near Tarr with bis nephew, M. F. Byers, turned up missing last week, creating one of the biggest sensations in the history of the county. The story of the disappearance of this vast sum is this: Some 18 months or more ago the elder Mr. Byers sold his coal south of Hecla to the Mount Pleasant Coke Company for some $225,000, $175,000 of the purchase price being given him in 5 per cent, bonds which, with $51,000 in cash, he placed in the bands of his attorney and relative, W. S. Byers, Esq., a well known Greensburg attorney, who was given a box in the vaults of a local safe deposit institution for their safe keeping. Early last week Rev. C. R. Ferner, pastor of the Scottdale Reformed church and who was, while in charge of the First Reformed church here a few years old, Mr. Byers’s pastor, called on him, having learned of the latter’s illness. Dur-ing the visit there was a discussion of financial matters in connection with the will Mr. Byers had made and as a result the minister was given an order to Lawyer Byers to allow the bearer to examine the treasure box. It is said the at-torney refused to comply with the order and the safe deposit people would not permit the minister to make any examination, saying they would have to have a physician’s certificate, properly acknowledged before a notary public, setting forth Mr. Byers’s inability to be present, before they could allow the box to be opened. From all reports it would seem that Lawyer Byers and Pastor Ferner had the warmest kind of a time, especially when the former claimed that the bey hnd been mislaid It is even said that the attorney threatened to perforate the pas-tor’s frame with lead from a firearm. But, the reverend gentleman, who knows a thing or two about how to handle gnns, wasn't badly scared, nor was he dis-couraged at what the trust people told him. For, he came right back and a week ago today invaded the county seat again, armed with the necessary certificate. Then the missing key tnmed up. some say, on a bank table and the box was opened. All it contained was a receipt for box rent. While both sides have engaged the best talent at the Westmoreland Bar and are thus at least prepared for a royal legal battle, Lawyer Byers is said to be losing no sleep over the matter. When seen by a reporter at his office Wednes-day evening he strenuously denied that he had done any wrong and continuing said : “I have been the attorney for old Mr. Byers for years, and, as his attorney, I cannot reveal anything touching our business relations. The unusual activity displayed by Mr. Ferner in a matter that does not concern him seems strange to me. I may be able to give some sensational points touching the controversy and the preacher as soon as I have a talk with my client.” A Pair of Mount Pleasant's Fair Daugh-ters Captured by Outsiders. Miss Susan Pool, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Pool, of this place, was quietly married Tuesday evening at the Pittsburg home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Charles Rush, with whom she resided while teaching school. The groom was Mr. Logan McKee, a young gentleman of that city which they will make their home. Beside the bride’s parents and other members of the family, the Mount Pleasant guests were: Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Marsh, Mr. and Mrs. George Patterson and Misses Margaret Lowe and Leona Marsh. Miss Mary S. Andrews, daughter of Mr. J. B. Andrews, another of Mount Pleasant’s fair daughters, was married yesterday afternoon at the Walnut street pasonage of the Methodist Epis-copal church by Rev. Charles L. Smith to Mr. Charles D. Green, a traveling salesman, of Lynn, Indiana, where they will make their home following a short bridal trip. New Tobacco Antidote. Among the presents from United States Consul F. W. Jackson brought by Miss Alice E. Hitchman from Patras, Greece, for that gentleman's old Mount Pleasant friends were two strings of beads, one each for J. McDonald Bryce and J. Wade Shupe. Greeks, wishing to stop the use of tobacco, drive away the appetite by counting these beads. Friends who might catch either “The Judge” or “Pat” trying the scheme will understand all about it. The Prittses Not In This. The story in the Pittsburg papers Monday telling how “Lnd” Pritts, a son of “Old Bill’s,” the notorious old moon-shiner, Bhot and killed a man near Rock-wood for having attempted to assault his wife, was of the fairy tale order. The story grew out of the fact that a Frenchman np that way by the same name did shoot at some fellow who tried to take liberties with his better half, bnt he missed the rascal who lost no time getting away. Killed Near Hunker. The mangled remains of a foreigner whose name is supposed to be George Saledl, of Hunker, were taken Tuesday to CoBhey’s Greensburg morgue to await positive identification. He was run down by a train near Hunker that morning and so badly mangled as to be almost unrecognizable. DEATHS 0E THE WEEK. The Grim Reaper’s Work in This Place and Vicinity. Florence, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Stillwagon, died Friday night at her Eagle street home of fever, aged 24 years. Rev. C. W. Haines, pastor of the First Baptist church, of which she was a member, conducted divine services at the church Monday af-ternoon, the interment following in the cemetery. The sorely afflicted parents and members of the family have the deepest sympathy of a wide circle of friends. Miss Maggie Ethel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver McFadden, whose ill-ness of lung trouble was noted In th ise columns last week, died at her Pitts-burg home Tuesday, aged 19 years. The body was brought here yesterday and interred at the Greenlick cemetery. She was an unusually bright girl, hav-ing graduated with honors from the 23d Ward High School She was a mem-ber of the Ames Methodist Episcopal church, an earnest Christian who bore her suffering with fortitute and passed away in the full assurance of the reward laid up for all those who love and serve Him. The parents, who formerly re-sided here, have the deepest sympathy of their many ol’d friends here. John C. Bossart was called to Latrobe Sunday to attend the funeral of his sister-in-law, Mrs. George W. Piper, who died Friday of typhoid fever. The lady’s husband, it will be remembered, died of typhoid pneumonia about a month ago. Captain George Sballenberger, a cousin of Mrs. Dr. Clark and a former resident of this place, died at his home in Washington, D. C., Friday, aged 73 years. He was a veteran of the Civil war and a brother of Second Assistant Postmaster General, Hon. William Shal-lenberger. Mrs. Jane B. Shields, the esteemed wife of Samuel N. Shields, died Wednesday of consumption at her Greensburg home, aged 51 years. The interment will take place this afternoon at the Middle Presbyterian church. The husband survives with four sons and one daughter. Likely Exaggerated. A telegram from Johnstown last night told of 800 of the Cambria Steel Company’s coal miners being entombed through an explosion of gas with fright-ful loss of life. DEADLY OLD AIR COURSE. Singular Death of Jimmy Sears out at Strickler Wednesday, The Mount Pleasant Coke Company’s | plant, near the abandoned Strickler coal works, in Mount Pleasant township, was the scene of intense excitement Wednesday evening following the find ing of little Jimmy Seers’ dead body at the month of the air course to the old Strickler pit. It seems that the boy, who was about 12 years of age. had been playing with a little McBeth girl who saw him go into the passage way and topple over, evidently overcame by gas from the abandoned mine, and at once ran home where she told her mother as well as Mrs. Seers. The two women ran to the scene and were also overcome on at- | tempting to recover the already dead body of the boy. Men working on a I grade nearby rescued the women, one of whom is still in a bad way. The body of the dead boy was recovered at the same time. A GREAT GATHERING Nearly 10,000 People Attend the C. E. Tent Meeting In Pittsburg. Nearly 10,000 people attended the first biennial session of the Christian Endea-vor societies of this state, held in the big tent at Oakland, Pittsburg, beginning Tuesday evening and closing last night. Of this number about 2,500 were dele-gates. Rain drove the big audience from the tent Wednesday evening to the Bellefield Presbyterian church where the exercises were continued. Rev. S. G. Yahn, of this place, ad-dressed Wednesday morning’s session OD “True Cause for Rejoicing” and also conducted a meeting at the Union Station yesterday. Church Dedication. The Second Baptist church people will dedicate their new place of wor-ship, on East Washington street near Diamond street, on Sunday next. There will be preaching and dedicatory ser-vices at 11 a. m. by Rev. R. C. Fox, of Pittsburg, to be followed at 3 p. m. by a like service by Rev. C. W. Haines, of this place. At 8 p. m. Rev. Fox will again preach. Rev. Boone, the pastor, and his congregation extend a cordial invitation to the public to attend these services, not forgetting that they are also in need of financial aid.

THIS DISTRICT IS CITED AS NOT BEING COMPOSED OF CON-TIGUOUS TERRITORY. The Philadelphia Lawmaker Tells of the Trouble Had in Passing; the Measure and Holds That Complications Might Arise, Although Governor Stone Says There is Nothing in tho Story that is Hardly Worth Noticing. If a recent statement made by Sena-tor John C. Grady, of Philadelphia, that the counties of Westmoreland and But-ler are not contiguous is correct, the congressional reappointment made by tbe last Legislature may be illegal and the act void. There is a flaw, according to Senator Grady, that renders the re-apportionment invalid. The defect is in the Twenty-second district, in which Westmoreland and Bntler counties are coupled. The act of Congress relating to Con-gressional apportionments says that dis-tricts shall be "composed of contiguous-and compact territory.” While on most of the maps in common nse the south-east corner of Bntler county appears to touch the northwest corner of West-moreland, in reality they do not meet, if Senator Grady's statement is to be believed. If Bntler a,nd Westmoreland are not contiguous, the whole reapportionment may be null. Whether an extra session of the Legislature would have to be-ealled to rediBtrict the state is a qnes tion. Senator Grady said: “While on the maps generally circu-lated and in Small's Hand Book the counties of Butler and Westmoreland are contiguous, the fact is that the two counties do not come in touch at any point. There is quite a tract of land belonging to Armstrong county which lies between Butler and Westmoreland, and this fact bars this new district, at least, from conforming with the pro-visions of the constitution. “This objection to the bill was quietly considered in committee, and we were in a quandary. So ranch difficulty had been experienced in getting a bill framed that could be passed that it was decided to pnt it through in this shape, not-withstanding the objections that the bill might be declared unconstitutional.” While ex-County Surveyor Jack Neel says that, from all the maps he ever saw, he failed to see where the two counties touch. Governor Stone bolds that there is nothing in the point raised and it hardly deserved notice. His opinion is this: “The new congressional apportion-ment bill is most equitable, and is satis-factory to everybody, and is the result of earnest, hard work during the whole session,” continued the Governor. “The congressional district of Westmoreland and Bntler is compact and contiguous territory within the meaning of the constitution.” MAY ALL REBUILD. Aftermath of Last Thursday Morningr’s Big: Local Fire. The victims of last Thursday morn-ing’s fire, S. P. Zimmerman, the furni-ture dealer and funeral director; J. W. Swartz, the wall paper and paint man, and the latter’s daughter, Miss Mary Swartz, the milliner, have settled with the insurance people. Mr. Zimmerman, who will receive $6,000, places his actual loss at $10,000. Mr. Swartz had but $1,000 insurance and loss $4,000 by the fire. Miss Swartz carried $500 insur-ance, a snm that makes her loss close to $700. Mr. Zimmerman has decided to put np a brick block and is urging Mr. Swartz and J. C. Gemmell, whose frame marble works adjoin the former’s property on the east, to join in and run all three buildings up together. There is a possibility that this will be done. May YetJGet Collesre. Greensburg is still hopeful of getting Thiel College and will send a big dele-gation of citizens to the meeting of the trustees which will be held at New Castle Tuesday next. N. A. Cort, Esq., of this place, is on the committee to solicit subscriptions. Over half of the $100,000 needed has already been sub-scribed. ^ m Union Services. The Baptist, United Presbyterian and Presbyterian churches will unite in an open air service- to be held Sunday eve-ning next - on the lawn at the last named chnrch or- in the building if the weather is bad. Rev. C. W. Haines will preach. ] THIS MOUNT PI7BIASANT JOirRNAL, Fill DAY, J1H/Y 11, 1902 $ © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © * FIGHTtfthe WARSHIP MOORE -«> A FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY * April 24 to 29. 1862 » © & © © © © © © © © © ICopyrlRlit, 1002. by G. L. Kilmer.] ONFEPERATE forts surren-dered or nlmndoned nnd (’on-federate ships riddled by Fed-eral shells, driven ashore or Mown up constitute the whole picture In nearly all the accepted and popular stories of Far ta(flit's attack on New Orleans. But was It In fact a one sided affair? The Confederate steamer Gov-ernor Moore shared the fate of all the others In the end, but there was ail ex-citiiiK interval which lasted lunger “than It takes to tell It.” The Moore was a paddle wheel steam-ship of JMiti tons, rigged out for a light-er. She carried two thirty-two pound era and ninety-three men. Her stem had been faced lengthwise with flat railroad Iron, bolted on. She had no ramming beak, yet was called a ram. Her machinery was protected by cotton bales packed along the bulwarks from the hold to the upper deck. The morn ing of April 21, when Farragut's ships dashed past the Confederate forts on the Mississippi below New Orleans, the Moore lay near Fort Philip. Her com-mander, Lieutenant Beverly Keniion, had learned bis trade In Uncle Sam's navy and, feeling a tight In the air, did not close Ills eyes In sleep, but paced the deck and about 3:30 n. m. noted a bit of a stir down the river. Steam was tip on the Moore In about three minutes, and Kennon slowly backed her away from Farragut’s ad-vancing skips, which already tilled the channel between the two forts. He wanted to reach a bend up the river where lie hoped to turn with sufficient room and headway to ram the fore-most ships of Farragut’s (Ieet. By the time the Moore had turned there were two of Farragut’s wnr sloops close at hand—the Oneida, ten guns, and tlie Cayuga, four guns. Kennon's ship was hailed from the enemy’s deck, and he quickly replied, “The United States steamer Mississippi!” The Mississippi was also a paddle wheel steamer, but the distinguishing lights on the Con-federate masts defeated the ruse, and the Oneida raked the mysterious black gunboat with a full broadside at close range. One of the companion rams of the Moore, the General Quitman, lay burn-ing on tlie opposite side of the chan-nel, and in Hie glare of her flames Kennon saw a Federal gunboat rush-ing, as he described it, “up stream like an ocean racer, belching black smoke and tiring on each burning Confederate vessel as she passed.” This proved to be the United States war sloop Vanina of ten guns and 2(i(> seamen. Without stopping to single out antagonists she delivered fire from botli port and star-board guns at once on everything afloat bearing Confederate lights. Ken-non knew that that madly racing ship would carry destruction up the river and also that the Moore in her crippled state would lie no match for the fleet steadily forging up from below. The smoke of Hie Vnruna’s broadsides and of tlie burning ships she had set in Caines, together with the darkness, en-abled him to slip away unseen of the foe in the wake of the Varuna. Ills distinguishing blue light still gleamed from the masthead, and, not daring to lower it tlie usual way for fear of at-tracting attention, he seized a musket from a sailor and shattered It to atoms with a well aimed bullet. In tlie race up tlie river the Varuna gained for a time nnd took no notice of her saucy adversary. In fact tlie Moore was completely veiled in the smoke and the shadows of the trees lining the bank, which she hugged purposely to baffle pursuit. By using oil in the fur-nace Kennon soon made enough steam to get within range of the Varuna. It was nearing dawn, and the Moore raked the Varuna along both her port and starboard gangways until she got so close her guns would not bear. The Varuna opened on her pursuer and in the savage running light had the ad-vantage. Her guns raked tlie Confeder-ate with horrible carnage. Kennon, finding that his bow gun was too far abaft to admit of depression necessary to strike the Vnruna’s hull, ran his ves-sel close upon her nnd fired through tlie bulwarks of his own bow. This shot was aimed at the Vnruna’s engine room, but it landed in a hawse pipe, glancing upward nnd putting a hole in tlie smokestack. However it left a cleat-port for firing through, nnd a second shot struck the Varuna's pivot gun, exploded and destroyed nearly all the gun’s crew. Now it came to a fight to a finish. The Varuna put her helm to port and fired into the Moore’s port bow. The Moore turned to meet the Varuna’s move, took the fire and thdn, under cov-er of the smoke, quickly put the helm over sharply and crashed into the Va-runa near the stnrboard gangway, re-ceiving her broadside at the moment of striking. The Vnruna’s engines stop-ped, nnd the Moore backed clear, gath-ered headway and rammed a second time In the same place. Before separat-ing the vessels drifted alongside, nnd the crews fought with muskets and pis-tols. Kennon expected to be boarded ana loaded bis single after gun with canister to meet the emergency. He had no men to board the Varuna. But the commander of the Varuna let the chance go by, and the vessels parted. At pnrting with the Moore the Va-runa placed five 8 Inch shells In the hull of the Confederate, setting her on fire. After a sharp fight with the fresh ram Stonewall Jackson, which she sent ashore In flames, the Varuna was © © © © © © © © © benched to prevent her sinking in deep water. Securely anchored and lashed to the trees, her guns were kept play-ing upon the Moore until water cover-ed the gun trucks. Meanwhile the Moore dropped down stream past the Varuna, but not answering her shots, for the reason, Kennon said, that his enemy’s decks were crowded with help-less wounded people. It was broad daylight, nnd the tops of several ships could lie seen above the trees. Kennon proposed to drift down and light the advancing fleet, but his lieutenant exclaimed hotly: “Why do this? We have no men left, nnd I'll lie if I stand here to lie murdered!” The gallant fellow was already wound-ed, and Kennon made no protest when he slapped the helm about to go up stream out of danger. When the Moore put about, the near-est enemy was the Pensacola. Think-ing the Moore was aiming to ram her, Pensacola planted a broadside Into the luckless Confederate. About the same time the Oneida came up and opened on the Moore. At last tlie ram was completely crippled. One gun had been dismounted in the last lire. Her boats, her wheel ropes, the head of her rod del-, a portion of the engine and a large section of tlie walking beam had been shot away. The cylinder head had bct'it cracked by falling debris, and the engine room was untenable owing to escaping steam. Several shots had penetrated below- the water line, and she was filling with water. Kennon ran ids ship into the bank above the Varuna. She bad fought three hours and taken the fire of five war sloops mounting thirty guns. Ken-non had picked tip his crew at the New Orleans wharfs. Out of ninety-three sixty-one were killed and thirteen wounded. This was, without excep-tion, tlie heaviest loss by fighting sus-tained on any single ship during the war. Four of the five vessels fought by the Governor Moore belonged to the ad-vance division of Farragut’s fleet, led by Captain Theodoras Bailey. Captain Bailey’s flagship, tlie Cayuga, deliver-ed her lire in tlie first contact with the Moore at thirty yards distance. The Oneida raked the ram with her broad side at a distance of a few- feet, and at the same time the Pensacola cleared out twelve men at the bow gun of Hi Moore with shrapnel from howitzer- In her tops. The Plnola, which at tin same time closed on the Moore, belong ed to Farragut’s third division. The Varuna, also of Bailey’s fleet, outstripped them all in tlie race, but the Cayuga. Pensacola and Oneida reached the scene of the last battle be-tween the Moore and Varuna soon aft cr the Varuna was beached. Kennon set fire to his own ship and was tlie last to leave her. He was taken on board a boat from tlie Oneida, and in the captain of that sloop, S. I’. Lee, he met an old friend and comrade. After-ward he was taken on board tlie flag ship Cayuga and soon encountered Ben Butler, commander of the Federal troops in tlie New Orleans expedition. Seeing Moore, Itutlei1 pointed to him nnd asked of tlie ship commander. “Where did you catch him?” Loud “WE HAVE NO MEN LEFT.” enough for Butler to hear Kennon re-sponded, “Where you were not on hand nor your army either." Farragut accorded to Captain Bailey the privilege of demanding the surren-der of the city of New Orleans. Bailey nnd bis first lieutennnt proceeded alone to the city hall, but the mayor dis-claimed authority to make terms, as did also the military commandant, General Lovell. On the following day, April 26, Captain Albert Kautz of the Hartford, now a rear admiral, went ashore to receive the surrender. The mayor still refused to act, and on the 29th Farragut hauled dow-n the stars and bars and ran up the stars and stripes without the formality of a sur-render. GEORGE L. KILMER.

THE MOUNT PTJKAHANT JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 100a As Judged From the Past Week’s Trade Reports WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS OF THE JOURNAL Quiet Conditions Have Prevailed in Most Branches, Especially in thoBe Markets Affected by Labor Disputes, but large Interest Payments Attest to the Prosperous State of Railways, In-dustrial Corporations and Financial Institutions. yniet conditions have prevailed in most branches of business, especially in those markets already affected by labor dispute. Large interest payments tea tlfy to the prosperous condition of rail-ways, industrial corporations and finan-cial institutions, and, aside from the labor troubles, the half year just ended WRS remarkably satisfactory. Railway earnings for June exceeded last year s by li.4 per cent., and those of 1900 by 111.11 per cent. In the iron and steel districts there have been no developments of Inipor tance. In spite of many serious draw-backs, railroad earnings for the half yenr just closed are the largest ever re-ported. Total gross earnings of all railroads In the United States reporting for the half year todate are|(ll8,470,508, a gain of 5.7 per cent, over last year and 18.7 per cent, over 1000. This report is practically complete for roads enuibrac-ing three fourths of the total mileage Abf the United States for five months and includes partial returns for June. Commercial failures in the first half of 1902 numbered 0,105, with liabilities of tOO,074,850. Although this is an in-crease of 14,570,106 compared with last year, and $18.i)11,02ii more than the ex-ceptionally favorable record of 1899, it is necessary to go back 15 years to find another more gratifying showing than that of 1902.

The Blairsville “Courier," which has not fully recovered from the Quay trouncing it received as an Elkin organ, is trying its hand on Westmoreland pol-itics, its knowledge of which is, to say the least, surprising. Here's what it has to say of Col. George F. Huff, the Re publican nominee in this county for ■Congress: “He has taken the proper stand in the matter and has Baid to the people that while he is willing to serve them faith-fully and to the very best of his ability and at considerable sacrifice of his pri-vate interests, yet he will do nothing to secure it that even savors of intrigue and wire pulling. He utterly refuses to •do anything toward securing the nomi-nation that is inconsistent with the declarations he has made and practically says that in this instance the office must seek the man instead of the man seeking the office, as is only too often the case. Such a candidate should not be kept waiting long and snch a situation in stead of causing a deadlock should be the means of breaking it.” That reads well so long as no atten-tion is paid to the facts which are that Colonel Huff or his friends acting for him did enter into a deal with “Jim” Beacom and other old Quayites and thus •choked off opposition that could have laid the Colonel out cold at the Jnne polls; that Colonel Huff or his friends actiDg for him did steal three of this county’s eight state delegates from the Elkin fold and did deliver them over ■into the hands of the vitorious Penny-packerites in the hope of squaring the Colonel with the “Old Man.” Of course the “Courier” may consider that this is the Bimonpure article of office seeking the man; but, if it does, -our esteemed contemporary must admit that the Colonel wasn't hard to find. to thoroughly acquaint the thoughtful voter with the true condition of affairs, ns it sets forth more fully what THE JOURNAL has already published on this important subject. The simple fact of the whole matter is that Council has left it to the voters of tlie borough to decide whether the ocnl sower system shall he completed now by borrowing the money—for, that is all any bond issue is or the much needed work put off until a more conve-nient season or until prospective suits for damages from private property owners force a completion. In its public statement Council gives a number of good reasons why it would be cheaper to go abend now, but It is for the voter to weigh the subject well and then vote his honest sentiments at to-morrow's polls Turn out and hnve your sav- Nothing should go by default. TRUST LEGISLATION. President Roosevelt has the trust menace so much at heart that he has de-termined to break into his vacation at Oyster Bay, L. I., long enough to put the finishing touches to the measure that has been drafted to regulate the great industrial combinations. It has been learned that the first im-portant caller who will be received at Sagamore Hill, where Mr. Roosevelt ex-pects to dwell in quiet until August 20, will be Representative Littlefield, of Maine, who has been asked to prepare the bill looking toward the regulating of the trusts. Just what the new measure will con-tain remains to be seen ; but, if as it is understood, one of the paragraphs will require all corporations doing an inter state business to make quarterly or monthly returns of their business to the treasury department and to keep their books always open to inspection by gov-ernment officers just as national banks are now required to do, the regulation of trusts will soon follow. Information as to their workings is all the public asks. PITTSBURG, with the President as its chief guest, did itself proud in the way of a Fonrth of July celebration. It is a great city and is growing at a truly wonderful rate. CONGRESS fell two hundred million dollars short of the billion dollar appro-priation line, but $800,000,000 is a good-ly sum of money for even your wealthy Uncle Samuel to spend in one year. SUBSCRIPTION papers are out for the better equipment of the Fire Depart-ment and, considering the splendid work done by the boys, they should not be compelled to ask more than once for auything they need. IT is only natural that the alleged disappearance of almost a quarter of a million of Jacob Byers’s wealth should create a sensation, but the wise time to form an opinion is after both sides shall have been heard. Don’t Ask Much. Pittsburg Gazette. All his loyal subjects ask of King Ed-ward is that he live long enough to pull off his coronation in proper form. After that he may consult his own conven-ience. The Controller Solemn. Lntrobe Advance. And they say John Brown never even smiled when the judges turned down the court house contract, but it’s dollars to doughnuts that be winked the off eye, just a little. Very Marked, Too. Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph If the American admirers of Emilio Agtiinaldo persist in referring to him as the George Washington of the Philip pines after Dewey’s testimony, it must be because of the marked difference. Another Q-. O. P. Pledge. Pittsburg Times. The Republican party has arranged for the fulfilment of another of its great pledges. It promised to build an isth-mian canal, and it has put matters in shape to insure its construction within a reasonable time. How's This, DocP Blairsville Courier. Dr. L. C. Thomas has done so much boasting of what he did while at Harris-burg and seems to enjoy so greatly re counting some of his doings there that The Courier has almost made up its mind to tell the whole story. Dr. Thomas had a good time there, a very good time, indeed. He met some quite agreeable people who entertained him in a very lavish manner and who did their utmost to entertain him. Just a little more bragging and away she goes AN INTERESTING POINT. The requirement of the constitution '.that congressional districts shall be of "compact and contiguous territory,” it is contended by State Senator Grady, of Philadelphia, was not complied with in 'the blocking out of the Twenty-second •district, comprising Westmoreland and Butler counties, and an interesting point has been raised that may, he con-tends, lead to a test case to have the Supreme Court pass upon the constitu-tionality of the apportionment act of the last Legislature. The point raised is interesting, but Governor Stone says that the constitu-tion has in no way been injured by the last congressional apportionment bill and he doubtless knows as he is down where the instument is kept. It’s a matter of regret that we will be tied up £or the next ten years with these Butler-ites with whom we have little or noth-ing in common. Bond Issue Again Vetoed. There will be no election at Greens-burg for a bond issue in November. Mayor Sell has again disappoved the ordinance providing for the issuance of $200,000 in bonds for borough improve ments, and the adherents of the measure in Council could not muster together enough strength to pass the ordinance over the veto. A PLAIN STATEMENT. The statement in regard to tomor-row’s local sewer bond election, made in another column of this issue over the -signatures of Burgess Kuhn and mem-bers of Council, is a plain one, contain-ing, we believe, all the facts necessary INDIAN IIISAD. There has been quite a change in the weather the last few days. Warmer? Very much so. Some of the people of this place were away on a pleasure trip on the Fourth H. S. Dumbauld, of Uniontown, and Miss Lizzie McBurney, of Connellsville, were spending their Fourth at this place. They also visited the former’s father, G. A. Dumbauld. Samuel Lohr and William Albright left this place last Monday to harvest for Mrs. James Hunter near Mount Pleasant. The heavy storm, which through here last Thursday, did a great deal of damage. It tore down about forty trees in a sugar camp belonging to John B. Adams and almost destroyed his apple orchard. Miss Grace Kramer was the guest of Robert Reese, of Champion, last Sunday Mr. and Mrs Jeremiah Pletcher, of Uniontown, are visiting relatives in this vicinity. REMODELING SALE!

The purchaser’s faithful and obliging driver, W. S. Meyers, is doing double duty. While there was no public local cele-bration of the Fourth, the firecracker shooter was in evidence for the full twenty-four hours. The rain prevented the ball game that had been arranged with Bridgeport. A drunken foreigner, celebrating the Fourth, fired his revolver on East Main street. The bullet entered the open door of Dr. W. A. Marsh’s residence, nar-rowly missing that gentleman and bury-ing itself in the bookcase. J. A.

Charles Wise, the 18-year-old son of William Wise, was badly cut about the forehead Monday while loading switch ties on a Pennsylvania freight car in the East End. He was caught by the car moving and throwing one of the heavy ties on him. The wonder is that he was not killed. David White, a Spring Garden color-ed man, went out to the Gypsy camp above that coke plant and traded horses Tuesday, getting his eye teeth most beautifully cut. He charged the cutter with fraud before Justice McWilliams. The case was settled by the Gipsy ex-changing animals and paying half the costs. Old soldiers in this vicinity who wish to attend the G. A. R. national encamp-ment at Washington, D. C., in October next, would do well to see Captain Jordan who is in a position to secure for them quarters at reasonable rates * through Colonel John R. Oursler, for-merly of Latrobe but now located at the national capital. FATAL RACE RIOT Between Slava and Poles at Rainey’s Paul Works Saturday Niffht.

HE GETS A RELIC IN THE SHAPE OF l A RARE COLONIAL BUREAU. Milken a Purchase of It to Please Ills Wife, lint Ills Wrath ltlses Illali When She Is Skeptical and Ilefnses to Eii«Un»e Over It. W[Copyright, 19C/L by C. B. Lewis.] TTEN Mr. Bowser wns half way home the other even-ing, he suddenly remember-ed that he ought to buy a t)ox of shoeblacking, and he left the car oml stepped Into a grocery. While he was being waited upon his eye caught eight of a bureau in the back end of the store, with drawers tilled with po-tatoes, and after looking the affair over he asked witli pretended carelessness: "Sow does it happen that you have Buck a piece of furniture in here?" "I took it on a debt of 50 cents,” re-plied the grocer. “And I suppose you’11 sell it for a dollar?” “If you want that bureau for a dol-lar, it’s yours, and 1 will also delivei It.” _ There was a struggle with conscience on the part of Mr. llowser for a min vite. No sooner hail lie set eyes on that bureau than lie identified it ns belonging to tiie colonial period and .worth its weight in silver as an an-awe to stand in the presence of this old relic?” Sirs. Bowser's face looked serious enough, but she didn’t admit the awe, and he presently asked: "What’s the matter with you? I thought you’d jump over chairs when you saw this relic. Think of a piece of furniture a hundred years old, maybe a hundred and fifty! Where now is the colonial dame whose hands once fold-ed away her clothes In those drawers? Iio you suppose it ever crossed her mind that your hands would some day touch these time begrimed handles?” “I don’t think It ever did,” replied Mrs. Bowser as she backed into tlie sitting room. “I wish 1 could have seen the bureau before you bought It.” “For what reason?” “Because it isn’t a colonial. It's only soft wood veneered over, while all the colonial pieces are solid. The bu-reau we saw at Mount Vernon was mahogany. It's simply an old rickety piece of furniture you’ve brought home. Examine it for yourself.” “And this is wli.it I get for picking up an almost priceless antiquity!” he gasped. “It's not an antiquity, Mr. Bowser. It’s simply a common old bureau and was probably sold for about $5 in the first place. Why do you buy things in tliis haphazard way?” “Haphazard! Do you mean to tell me I don't know an old antique when I'see one? When I run across an old SHE WAS AROUSED BY A CRASHING AND SMASHING. tique. The grocer simply regarded it ns so much old rubbish and would be satisfied with a profit of 100 per cent. Should he take advantage of the igno-rance of the denier In sugar and cod-fish, or should lie give him honest in-formation and plank down $20 in place of $1? Conscience took a back seat, and the purchase was concluded at the dealer’s own figure. Any grocer who txvill debase an old heirloom by filling it full of potatoes deserves to be swindled In its sale. The minute that Mr. Bow-ser reached home Mrs. Bowser felt sure that something had happened, and, though she asked no questions, ills nervous demeanor at the dinner tabic strengthened her belief. After the meal was finished he had an excuse to go to the front door every five minutes, and when a wagon at last drove up lie went out to assist the boy in lifting the i rn ftm % ffl AD/?- “IF YOU WANT THAT BUREAU FOR A DOL-LAR, IT’S YOURS.” old bureau into the house. It was Bliovcd Into the parlor, and he walked around, chuckling over It for a quarter of an hour before he was ready to say: “Mrs. Bowser, do you remember our visit to Mount Vernon and the tomb of Washington several years ugo?” '“Perfectly,” she replied. “In going over the house we entered the room that used to be Mrs. Wash-ington’s bedroom, I believe?” “I’m sure we did.” “And you coveted an article of furni-ture in that room and kept talking about it for weeks after.” “Yes. the bureau,” she replied. “1 tlid so want a bureau like that, but you said one couldn’t be had for love or money. You haven’t—haven’t”— “When I call, you may come in,” he said as he took up a mutch and passed Into the parlor to light the gas. “Now, come on.” He extended his hand to Mrs. Bow-ser nnd led her up to the antiquity and stood by with a smile on his face ns she surveyed it. As she said nothing for a minute or two, he observed: “I can’t truthfully say that this is the identical bureau used by Martha Washington, but you can see for your-self that it was rnnde by the same man and is as like it as two peas. You are now in possession of the coveted arti-cle at last, and I suppose you won’t care for diamonds or pearls?” “Did you buy this for a colonial?” asked Mrs. Bowser as she backed off and sat down on a clmlr. “Well, 1 didn’t buy it for a 1901 bu-reau. Yes, I bought it for what it is— a colonial. It’s a Martha Washington bureau right down to the ground. I haven’t looked around for a date on it, hut I presume you'll liud 1770 or some other old figures on It somewhere. Doesn’t it give you a little feeling of colonial, have I got to trot home ami ask you to go ami look it over for fear I’ll be deceived? When or where did you post yourself about antiques?” “When or where did you?” she quiet-ly asked. “You hear me now—you hear me!" he shouted when he found himself boxed up. “By the jumping Jim Crow, If tiie whole household furniture of Benjamin Franklin should be offered me for 10 cents I wouldn’t buy It! For tfili long years I’ve been looking' out for a Martha Washington bureau to please you, and now that by tiie rarest chance on earth I finally pick one up you dub it old rubbish and insist that I’m a fool.” “It was kind of you, but you see”- “I see nothing,” he yelled as he cut loose—“that is, I do! I see that you’ve got about as much sentiment about you as an old sitting hen and that I ought to have brought you up a basket of clams instead. We won’t discuss the matter further. I’ll sell the bureau to-morrow for $500. Perhaps you bad rather be alone with yourself?” Mrs. Bowser nrose with a sigh nnd went up stairs, and when bedtime came she went to bed. It had come midnight nnd she was asleep when she was aroused by a crashing and smashing below. For two or three minutes it seemed as if the whole in terior of the house was being torn out. Then the sounds ceased, a pungent dust came floating up, and she heard Mr. Bowser swearing to himself. Then she knew that the old colonial relic was no more on earth. M. QUAD.

Yet you are insane to suppose that Kllzlar’s ab-surd love for me Is In any way a menace.” “I had not that In mind,” answered Darrell earnestly. “It Is the conduct of tills war that makes me shudder for you, that forces me to warn you, though I have neither right nor au-thority to do so.” “And what have you to say of the conduct of the war?” she asked. “Have we not met with success?” "Vera,” he said, “what is the object of this struggle?” “To free my country.” “Is It free? Have you driven the Russians out of it?” “AYc shall,” she cried, “and In the meantime”— “In the meantime,” snld Darrell, “you are engaged in an utterly hope-less war of invasion. What was your hope in this campaign? To take Stav-ropol? I will grant that you might conceivably succeed. Even so, you could not have dreamed of gBing ’i.r-ther, and you certainly could not have expected to hold the place Indefinitely without anything that could be called a line of communications, without pos-sibility of re-enforcement, with only the resources of the city itself to de-pend upon. A successful retreat would have beeu your best expectation”— “Why not terms?” demanded Vera, rising. “Do you think our successes wbuld have won us no consideration?” “Not on Russian soil,” answered Dar-rell. “Every success you win outside your own bfwders is an obstacle In the way of your liberty. You cannot con-quer Russia. Your only chance was to persuade her that the reconquest of Circassia at this time would cost too much in men and treasure. What does the government In St. Petersburg care about the loss of Gredskov as a mili-tary incident? Nothing. Rut ns an act demanding reprisals the taking of that city assumes importance. It is * the same with Vladikaukas, and the taking of Stavropol would make your cause hopeless.” “Prince Kilziar does not think so,” said Vera, pale with excitement. “Prince Kilziar has never had any other opinion,” rejoined Darrell, “lie » is a soldier, a man of long experience in war, familiarly acquainted with Rus- “ sian governmental policy. Vera, when such a man moved your army beyond the boundary of the country you were fighting to free he proved that he was not a patriot. The soldier of freedom resents aggression. He takes up arms for the purpose of expelling tyrants; he defends his own land; he stands up-on his rights and strives to win the re-spect of the world. But to rush out of his own country, leaving its strongest fortified places still in the hands of the intruder, to invade the territory of a monstrous power like Russia, with no hope except to inflict a certain amount of injury and then withdraw — this could not be the act of a trained sol-dier who was also a patriot. To Kil-ziar the military principles and the £ policies involved were plain as one plus one makes two. lie did not organize this campaign in the interests of Cir-cassia.” “In whose, then?” she cried. “In his own, Vera,” replied Darrell, “for loot. There was a rich treasure in Gredskov, imperfectly guarded through Russian oversight. Kilziar knew of it, and now he has it absolutely in his hands.” “Wliy not?” demanded Vera. “Will not money help ov.r cause?” “My child,” he rejoined, without meaning to use the term which made the princess red with wrath, “is it con-ceivable that Russia will permit you to hold this sum? It is a mere item In the bill that you must settle. Your whole policy should have been to secure the easiest terms, and this is the way to get the hardest. Your only problem was this: How much can I make it cost Rus-sia to retake Circassia in proportion to the injury which she has suffered in the loss of it? The lighter the injury the better for you.” “I have heard that the Americans considered money above all things”— Vera began, but Darrell Interrupted her with a groan. v "Let me hasten to make an end of this,” he cried. “I have not forfeited your regard and suffered the misery that torments a gloomy prophet with-out a definite object You will send an order to Prince Kilziar. It is not too late to change your plan. I would have your force and his move west-ward, effecting a Junction at the earli-est possible moment The Russian force south of you is unprepared for such a movement and is, besides, hampered by Its own anxieties, due to failure of the co-operating force to come down from the north. You will have no diffi-culty. You can withdraw into Circas-sia without loss, and then you can use this really admirable army for defense of your country.” “It is the policy of cowardice!” ex-claimed Vera. “Why, you yourself ad-mit that these Russians south of us are caught lu a trup. By your own re-port they are scarcely equal in number to my command in this city. Shall I run away while they are auakiut? in their boots, or shall 1 crush them be-tween two millstones?” “If your sole thought is for Circas-sia,” said Darrell, “you will avoid a victory that cannot seriously weaken but only imbitter your enemy.” "Really,” said the princess, “I am both ashamed and grieved. I hoped for help and bold counsel from you, and instead you”— “I have given you the best counsel 1 had," answered Darrell sadly. “Now give me a gun and post me in the front rank, and if the march is on to Stavro-pol I will cheer the order.” But Vera did not seem to hear him. She rapped upon the table with her sword, and the orderly appeared. “See who is there,” said the princess. Several officers entered hastily, as if upon important errands. There was witli them a man, in the dress of a Russian peasant, who seemed, howev-er, to be a soldier of Circassia. He was much the worse for hard travel and tottered witli weariness. Vera gave him a quick glance and acknowledged his salute. Then she turned to Dar-rell, saying coldly: “We will speak later of your return to Paris.” Darrell bowed most respectfully and retired from the room. CHAPTER XV. THE ADA'ENTUBE OF THE PIPEB. N the room to which the two men had been assigned on their ar-rival in the city Colo-nel Korna found Dar-rell some minutes aft-er that unfortunate in-dividual had been dis-missed by the princess. “I suppose that was English you were speaking as I jntered,” snid the colonel. “I do not understand it.” “That is well for your soul,” return-ed Darrell. “The language was vio-lent.” “What was the matter?” asked Kor-na, and then without waiting for an answer, “What are you going to do with that thing?” This question referred to the faded cloak which Darrell had taken from the idiot, Musef. “I have made a fool of myself. Colo-nel Korna,” said the American. “Please do not ask me how, but take my word that it was done in a way that the most brainless monkey ever born in a tree could not have bettered. Having done it, I was naturally reminded of this idiot’s belongings. Do you sup-pose there is any beeswax in Vladikau-kas?” “Is that question a part of your dis-guise?” laughed Korna, for Darrell had put on the cloak and taken up the pipes upon which Musef had played. 1 iarrell convinced Korna that he was serious, whereupon the latter replied that it would be singular If a town of the size of Vladikaukas contained no beeswax, but he did not know just where it could be found. “We have ''ad great news,” he add-ed. “A spy h, .come down all the way from Stavropo. The report of the rail-way wreck wkic. has delayed the Rus-sian force is confirmed. Moreover”— “I am out of favor with the khan,” said Darrell, interrupting. "I do not feel that I should listen to your mili-tary secrets.” Korna stared, and then, seeing that Darrell was serious, he was about to express his sympathy when he was Hastily summoned to the khan’s pres-ence. Darrell put away the cloak and pipe and went out into the town, where lie found many small stores open, for there was excellent order in the place, and secured without great difficulty a supply of beeswax and black goat’s hair, with which he built up a beard almost as wild as Musef’s. A beard constructed in this way by a man ex-perienced in the art will bear close in-spection. Having completed his task, he wrote a note to Korna in these words: > My Dear Colonel—I am going to try to get through the Russian lines with a copy of the khan’s cipher message to Prince Kilziar. If I am not heard of within ten days, will you please in-form the khan of my attempt? I would have you maintain silence for that interval, if you can do so without serious inconvenience, and if I do not return I would have you remember me pleasantly, as I shall remember you so long as I retain the faculty. He left this where Korna would find it and then, mounted upon a grotesque little mule that he bad purchased, made his way out through the Circas-sian lines, the seal of the khan upon the order that he bore being his war-rant. The mule was a sturdy brute, and, though Darrell made a wide detour, so that he seemed to be coming up from the east, it was not later than 3 o’clock in the afternoon when he was halted by Russian pickets upon the right wing of their force. An utter recklessness had taken pos-session of Darrell since his wretched interview with Vera. He had ridden along the road rehearsing the demean-or of Musef as he had observed it, practicing the peculiarities of speech that had distinguished the idiot and fitting crack brained jests from his own memory to the language in which they must he uttered.
