Iawrence County Conyention.

Allegheny does not possess the peculiar
privilege of being the only county where the
people can become aroused to the consequent
ces of the municipal subscriptions to railroads.
On Friday last, a convention was held in New
Castle, in relation to the county Bonds Rob-
ert Woods, one of the Vice Presidents of the
meeting, gave short history of the amount
of taxes he had paid since 1929 at different
periods and wound up by adding that if they
increased for the next seven years in proper
tion to the last few years he would have to re-
pudiate or move off West. Others spoke
strongly in relation to the issuing of bonds
for county purposes.
The following we're the resolutions adoI-
ted.
Resoleed, That we dcpreoate the whole sys-
tenn of subscriptions by counties to aid in the
construction Of Railroads, as calculated to i'm
pose upon the tax paying interests of the
county, onerous and unjust burdens, and
which believe unconstitutional
Resolced, That we pledge ourselves to each
other to aid in prosecuting, by all means,
such measures as will relieve the county from
subscriptions made to the several Railroads
projected and being constructed through said
county
Resolccd, That we endorse the course of
the County Commissioners in asking the Su-
preme Court for an injunction against the
North Western Railroad Company, and that
we look to them as the properly constituted
guardians of the interests of the county,
promptly to use all their power in arresting
the bgrtheus improvidently imposed upon US.
Resolred, That we appoint committee Of
FIVE to act jointly with the County Commits
sioners in taking counsel in regard to the le-
gality of the subscriptions of each of the rail-
roads, and to join issue in every case where
there is a reasonable hope of success.
From this action it would seem that the
good people of the county are of the opinion
that their honor docs not carry them beyond
the exactions of law and that the best test OF
their duty is their legal liability. The report
we have does not state that there were any
dissentients from these resolutions so that
we must regard them the expression the
feelings of the mass of the citizens of the
county.-Ptfts Union.

Associate Judges of Kansas.

The appointment of the Hon. Joseph VIII
liams, of Iowa, TO the Associate Judgeship
of the Supreme Court of Kansas, in place of
Judge Cunningham, of Pennsylvania, re-
signed, is a most excellent selection, and Sc
cares TO the bench of the Territory an able
and experienced jurist. Judge Williams was
formerly Chief Justice of Iowa, to which
State he emigrated from Somerset county,
Pennsylvania He is practical printer,
and at one time published the Upland Union,
at Old Chester, Delaware county, which pa
per. in 1889. he disposed of to that old and
steadfast Democrat, Alexander M'Keever,
with view of devoting himself to the law,
in which he had already earned an enviable
reputation. He possesses fine legal abilities,
besides being "a fellow of infinite Jest
We defy the most rancorous party animosity
to hold out against his irresistible pleasantly.
He is familiar with border life and his good
humor will be better than bayonets in set
Ting Kansas troubles. Not long since he
called at the ST. Nicholas Hotel, in New
York, to see the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black,
now Attorney General of the United States,
but not meeting him, he left the following g
card -
Compliments Of the Chicf Justice Of Iopa TO
tie Chief Justice Of Pennsyleanta
Q Jerry, dear Jerry, Ive found you at last,
And memory, burdened with scenes of the past,
Returns to old Somerset's mountains of snow,
Where you were but Jerry" and 1 was but
"Joe.'
1t is announced to day from Washington,
that since his Appointment as Associate Justice
of Kansas, Judge Williams has been promo
ted to the position of Chief Justice in place
of Judge Lecompte, removed. The interests
of the Territory copld not haye been better
served.

Violent Storm.---Destruction Of Property.
Johnstown was visited by terrible storm
of wind, rain and hail on Monday night. We
are quite sure we never heard or saw it rain
harder in all our life than it did for an hour
or two on this occasion. The rain was ac-
conpanied By furious blasts of wind, and a
constant succession of frightfully vivid flashes
of lightning that ftfully illuminated tue dark
ness of the night, and displayed to the watch
er the torrent Of rain which dashed against
the window as though it would break in
There was not SO much nor so loud thunder
as on many former occasions in our recollec
ton, but the rain, wind and lightning was
unequalled. About the winding up of the
storm dash of hail was thrown in. which ad-
ded considerably to the noise and confusion
of the time.
The storm broke upon us about 1 II o'clock,
and continued to rage with impetuous fury
until one. During its progress, we looked
out upon the earth from our chamber
window, and, by the aid of the incessant
lightning, beheld our streets, and pai ticularly
our garden, which we had just been digging
the evening before, completely covered with
water, and looking like small inland lake
And such was the case as far as we could see
Streets were inundated, gardens were sub
merged, cellars were oyerhowed, and super
abunce of water was visible on every hand
Getting up early in the morning, we visit
ed the creeks, and found them bank full, and
looking furious. We also heard that several
buildings had been destroyed by the storm on
the Island, and as soon thereafter as we could
we visited the locality and found it SO. We
found the fragments of four buildings scatter
ed over the Island, and saw from distance
the wreck of some two or three in the upper
end Of Conemaugh borough. We take from
our note book the following items
The Old State Depot partly blown down
This was brick building, built on three
sides of square, with an open space in the
centre. Two sides of this was entirely de-
stroyed, and the remaining portion much in
jured. A frame shed over the railroad track
leading to the Depot. which was used as a
workshop for repairing boat-trucks, was also

Injunction against the Proposed Sale Of the
Main Line.

Soon after the passage of the act for the
sale of the Main Line of the public works, we
stated in the Post that without doubt an ap-
plication for an injunction against the sale
would be made, Such an application has
been made by the Board of Canal Commits
sioners to restrain the Governor from consum-
mating the sale, which will be argued before
and decided by the Supreme Court of the
State, on the 11th of the present month. 1t
is the prevailing opinion among legal gentle
men that the injunction will be granted, and
if SO. the whole matter will go back to the
Legislature and in obedience to the public
voice. better bill. if any at all, viii be fra
med and passed-one which will protect the
interests of the people along the Western Di-
vision, and operate more justly than the pres
ent one can De made to do upon the interests
of the Commonwealth. It is currently ru'

The Pennsylvania and the Main Line.


During the pendency before the Legisla-
ture, of the bill for the sale of the Main
Line, the Pennsylvania, Which claims to be
the organ of the democracy of the State,
never uttered single word in condemnation
of that wicked and stupendous fraud 1t
was expected that the Editor Of that paper,
would be foremost in raising his voice against
the passage Of the bill and in defence of the
rights of the people With great unanimity,
the democratic presses throughout the State,
havo spoken in terms of decided condemna-
tion of the law. Since the adjournment OF
the Legislature, the Pennsylvania has
thrown off the mask, and has taken bold and
decided ground in favor Of the sale. We
have carefully read the Editors defence of
the measure, but have not been able to dis
cover a single argument in favor of the pro-
posed sale.
The course Of that paper on this question,
has seriously damaged its reputation with
tho democracy of the State, and it cannot
hereafter be regarded as its organ. The
democratic party, will repudiate any paper,
that so far forgets its mission as to become
the mouth piece and defender Of a corpora
tion, so powerful and unscrupulous as the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

this building involves a heavy loss in tools.
patterns. &c.
Pringle, Rose & Edson's Blacksmith shop
totally destroyed. This was frame building,
i stories high 20 by 80, adjoining the
Foundry and Machine shop of the firm 1t
was completely demolished and torn to pieces.
Island School House blown down. This
was small frame building on the bank of the
Conemaugh, few rods from the Foundry,
and between the latter and the Depot 1t
was lifted some ten feet from its foundation,
and then thrown over on its side-a total
wreck.
La range with this. on the side of the Is
land fronting the Canal Basin, a small frame
house was capsized and torn to peices. It had
been turned half round, then thrown over and
demolished. This building was occupied by
the family of John Crop, bat fortunately for
them none Of them were in it when the storm
came along.
On the other side of the Basin We observed
several wrecks. A large frame building used
by Mr., John Brown as boatbuilder's shop
was unroofed and much damaged. A shor.
distance above this we saw what was left of
the engine house at the boat slip. The roof
was torn off, the end blown in, aud the struc-
ture pretty considerably used up.
Besides these we hear Of other items Of
damage sustained by the storm but we have
not tine to hunt up the particulars. Taking
it altogether, we are safe in saying that this
was the most violent storm experienced in
| this locality for many years. Some of our
people attribute its violence to the influence of
the approaching comet. which is expected to
come in collision with our planet in day or
| two Cambria Tribune.
