The Johnstown Tribune, in the course
of article descriptive of our mountain
scenery, says; 'On Johnston's hill, the

The Turner's will take with them telescopes,
opera glasses, and spy-glasses for the bene-
fit of those who wish to bring the far-away
nearer to their vision. The excursion will
prove very interesting to the visitors who
will attend the grand funniest and Volks
fest The music of the Great Western Band
will also be highly appreciated by the peo-
pie residing on the Summit. In this con
nection it may be remarked that an effort,
which in all probability will prove success
full is being made to have special train
run from this point to Cresson on the day
named, Sunday, the 10th instant. Should
the arrangement be perfected, a large num-

THAr ARASDoNED BAny.-Thc Colored Wo-
mans storm in Pittsburgh and -4UOOnd.-Some
days ago copied from an Altoona paper the
story Of the abandonment of q cotored baby in
that city by Il white woman VINO iett III on the
door steps of Il citizens residence. She was
subsequently interviewed by the conductor of
the train that had carried her from this city
thither, as to the disposition she had made OF
the infant. when SIo confessed to the abandon
mcnt and stated that the little ebony wait was
the iilegitimate child of Il deceased respectable
friends had hired her to dispose of it in some
pacific way, and for that purpose paid her ex-
peuses to and from Philadelphia, in which lat
Ter place she was instructed TO make the aoan-
donment. The story was plausible enough
and as no harm was done to the child, the ''wo-
man in black was not arrested. 4 gentleman
Yesterday informed us that none other than the
self same woman, about the time OF the utSer-
ti0n. had applied at the residence of an oftcer
OF the Guardians of the Poor, for assistance to
enable her to get out of this city with her Jttle
black charge, but, usual in most instances,
no relief was obtained from that quarter anu
she betook herself to the alnsgivlng OF the
charitably disposed. Her story there was that
.he had been a servant in a hotel in Altoona
and had given birth to the child in that clty,
whose father was black laborer, who, in an
evil hour, accomplished her ruin. Ihat was
her story while collecting aims ana nothlns
was said abOuts any respectable parties n-tt
knowing of the existence of the infant ihst
she was the true unfortunate mother OF tnf
babe she subsequently deserted, can hardly -
dOubted, and that her Altoona story was -4t
from the whole cloth, is equally plausible, a.
no Pittsburgh white girl, dead or alive han any
thing to do with the child.-PittSb;tTgh Gd@ette'

HARRY WHITES RECEPTION The In
diana HeSSeHg-a, the leading Republican or
gan OF that county, gives the following as
the speech of that prince of biatherskites
Harry White, on the occasion of his return
to his home from Kittanuing after the ad-
journment of the conference which nomina-
ted him for Congress:
FELLOW CITIZENS 1 am profoundly grateful
for this unexpected compliment. for n Though
teiegraphed you that ! was coming did not
think you would get the dispatch. II is CRATE
ful acknOw lcdgment from my friends and
ncighbors who have for 50 long time kept me
In prominent and lucrative position, and who
and responsible duties of puplic Office to which
am 50 averse. In the present canvass there
passed and all is lovely. ] have been yictori-
Gus, but have no enemies to punish" for
nave my enemies W here want them. and they
must support me. l the nominee OF the
well, but I'shHl not object 10 weak -kueed Dem
ucrats voting for me. l have shown my will
nomination, and VIII COnsi8tentiy live up t. nv
principles. Taylor has gone up" Buuey has
is patriotic and ''iu this regard all know that
my country, and | go forward, like M agoicun,
to fulfill my destiny" This Is my I,-stjce cUuu-
county have, and highly appreciate the at
tentiOns aud compliments shOwereG upon mo
ture, as in the past, endeayor To advance my
own interests to the best of my ability. II
nOnpTe dM ait me Sii;tit accept tnein
without murmur. During the canvass viii
more fully enlightcB the people as to the debt
OF gratitude they owe me, and shall aid them
in arriving at just conclusion. 1t only re-
mains for me to bid you good night, aud jShak-
ing his trembling right hand in II graceful curve
over thcm) thank aud bless you for your faith
ful services. You have done well"
The Messenger represents the intelligence
and moral force of Indiana county. 1t is
unalterably opposed to White for Congress
or anything else, and we gather from this
that the chances of the retirement to private
life Of this political adveuturer ale brighter
new than at any former period, not even ex
excepting the time when n rebel bayOnet
thrust aimlessly into a ditch during the pro-
gress of a battle in Virginia came nigh Gre
ating a demand for a coffin extra pair
of crutchcs. For Il blessing like unto this,
thank God and take courage

An ACT OF HERoIsN.-It is tweutv-fve years
I1 stncS the circumstances herein narrated traps
PM out tne principal actor in the scene Is
sun living in our midst, and as public mention
nas never pesn made of his act Of reckless bra
very py which many lives were undou btedly
saved; we hereby place it upon record
~ IN me early spring of 1919 Mr.. Enoch McGa-
rInning cars on the old Portage Railroad he
tween here and HoIliday augsburg, for BinpHam's
tine' ti' On the occasion to which we refer a sec
tioh BOAT loaded with some four hundred kegs
Ot M ghnPowder was being tran sported across the
from me water at Hollidaysburg. At that
LlIne Dir. Francis Devln, also of Conemaugh
nprough; was running the lafayette Iocomo-
IiNe on the short level between Planes No s
anu y. Nhiie pulling the train upon which the
Doat was iocated IN the direction of Plane the
sparks from his engine set fire TO the cabin in
the first section. The flames were not discover
the plane had drawn up the boat but as soon
as the employees observed the fire issuingf f orth
Gary. goodly-sized village was in existence
tnere at the time we write about. and the
knowledge that a boat containing several hum
dren Kegs Of powder had taken fire was im.,le-
Ge GGlaIely nolsed abroad, and n general stampede
from the neIghborhOod became in order An
eyewitness TO the affair states that the scene
was an appalling one, and the people fleeing
Tor their lives and shrieking in the fear that
be forgotten by him
Mr.. Notary proved the hero of the hour.
Hastily hItching team of horses to the section
that was burning, he hauled it a considerable
aistance along the level between Planes 8 aud
{, and when FAR enough away to save the village
from destruction he hastily started the team
only distant about eight hundred wards when
the boat load of powder exploded, but he for
tunately escaped uninjured although one OF
t tne hoIses was killed by a fragment of the
truck car, which was blown to atoms. The
snock was a most terrible one, glass In houses
az the summit, four miles from the scene, being
ShlVercd TO pieces, and the noise of the expIo-
SION was heard for many miles.
We understand the gentleman who rhus nm
douotedly saved the lives of many persons and
tne obstruction of an entire village, never re-
truth of this narrative we are assured bv a
gentleman who was in the vicinity at the time
me e, Iacts narrated occurred. Mr.. McGary is
sun living in this place, and it is aItopefber
prohabie that during the Remaining natural
terIn OF MS existence he will not again be so
close to the jaws OF a terrible death as he.wes
on thc memorable occasion alluded to.-JJhIs-
