Those railroads in the flooded district
which sustained the lest damage are grad
ually getting their affairs back into some
thing like order, but it will be Q long time
before the Pittsburg division of the B. q
o and st. Clairsville and Bellaire, and
the st. C~lairsvills and Northern get going
again. A very large force Of men are ut
work on the B. & O.-probably three or
four hundred in all. News from Little
Washington says three hundred lsborers
and carpenters passed through there en-
route to repair the damage in this county,
and the work is being pushed vigorously
from that end of the line. 1t was stated
at the B. & o. depot in this city yesterday
afternoon that the road was open down to
Point Mills from the east.
Quite q large crowd is at work at the
bridge west of Main street, in this city,
and up to last evening considerable pre-
liminary work had been done. The lsbors
of the carpenters and others were watched
Yesterday by quite a large crowd.
Yesterday General Manager Clements,
of the B. & o. arrived in his special car,
accompanied by j. A. Hunter, Master OF
Road; Arthur Sinsel, superintendent Of
bridge building, and j. 7. Legge, Superin-
tendent of the Western division. They
procured a carriage and went out along
the Wheeling creek valley as far as West
Alexander, looking into the condition OF
the line, and making some attempt to ap-
proximste the work TO be done.
Mr.. John Troll says the Bellaire and st.
Clairsyille road will he rebuilt, but most
of the route will be entirely new. The
Northern road is also damaged 30 badly
that there is some talk OF the lessees not
rebuilding it. The road was built by the
town and bonds issued in payment for 1t,
and the gentlemen who have been oPer-
ating it leased it from the town, so that
their loss is not to compare with that Of
Troll brothers on the other line.

On the Run.

An eye witness OF the disaster on Cald-
wells run tells the following tale of the
wreck Of Stentzel's and Howley's houses;
"Mr Stencils house was the first to move
of, and after going some little distance il
lodged on q point of ground. While il
was there q number of men on q coal shed
attempted to throw Mr.. Stencil q rope,
but it fell short every time. While this
was going on John Holman, who was in
his kitchen, wa carried away. The sides
and top of the kitchen were swept off, and
he was left floating on the floor. He saw
that he wss bound to be lost, and as the
floor swept past Stencils house he jumped
in, as tina whole end had been knocked
out.
''Tbe scene inside the Stencil house was
heartrending in the extreme. The mother
wss held tightly clasped in the arms of her
son, and the Wingert girls were standing
by psralyzsd with fear. All were eagerly
watching the efforts of the men to throw
the rope to them, but each time it fell q
few feet short of the mark.
''Then suddenly the house began to move
again and Stencil hallooed above the noise
of the torrent, Good bye, boys, we're
gone.' No sooner had he got the words out
Of his mouth than the house crushed like
an z shell and sunk from sight. The
only thing seen Of the house or its occu-
pants after that was . hand sticking from
the water, which disappeared in an in
slant.
''The Howley house was the next to
move of, and ss it started of, Mr.. How
lew made q noble attempt 10 save his wife
and children. almost losing his life in the
endeavor. He was seized by several men
lust % he was about to be swept away.
The picture of Mrs. Howley looking with
agonized eyes toward where her husband
stood, with the children clinging to
her crying bitterly was certsinly o most
affecting sight and one that I shall never
forget. II seemed q if the houses were
but as paper in the mad waters and the
Howley house, like Stencils Just went to
pieces almost like Q burst bubble. / tell
You the scenes of that evening / shall
never forget and they made such IN i'm
preston upon my mind that I snHer the
experience Owe again in my dreams."

The Natural Gas Supply.

One of the most noticeable bad effects OF
the flood in the city was the loss of natural
gas TO our citizens, manufactures and all
who used it as a fuel. The old saying that
'its an ill wind that blows nobody good"
is certainly true in this case, because the
coal dealers were kept hustling to supply
the demands npon them, and Is they were
not prepared for any such rush, they
were unable to meet the demand il many
instances.
Especially was this 30 regarding the water
works. They had q good stock OF cosl on
hand in case of emergency, but it didn't
last long. and Superintendent Riddle was
hunting all over town for coal, and had
men out in other directions skirmishing for
fuel. The supply ran entirely out yester-
DAY, and as none could be secured at once
the works were compelled to close down
and many people in the city we're without
water for an hour or 30. Fuel was secured,
however, and the water is flowing again.
People who depended entirely upon the
gas and had allowed their coal houses to
become empty, were redlced to the neces-
sity of burning wood in order that they
might be able to cook. The plumbers
were busy taking ont natural gas burners,
and the people realized how much they
missed the gas after having used it go
long.
Inquiry ut the office of the West Vir-
ginia Natural Gas Company yesterday de-
veloped the information that the line was
damaged at nearly every point where it
crossed the creek, and as these are rather
numerous it will probably he some time
before repairs will be finished. The
officials Of the company say they can make
no estimate of the damage as yet. Two
gangs of men will be put to work this
evening, and the repairs will be rushed
through with as quickly rs possible.
Secretary George Heard, of the Company,
thinks that all will be in good shape again
in about two weeks.
The Company has made arrangements
with the Wheeling Natural Gas Company,
whose lines are all right, and gas was given
to domestic consumers yesterday afternoon
about 2 o'clock. This arrangement will
continue until the West Virginia lines are
repaired.
The plumbers were kicking vigorously
yesterday because they were so numerously
called upon to put burners back in cook
stoves.

Pennsylvania Politics.

The campaign as conducted by Sena>
tor Quay and his associates has been
marked by the introduction OF what
might be called Pennsylvania methods.
Addition, division and silence" have
been the watchwords. Secrecy has been
enjoined upon all the clerks at Republi-
can Head quarters about the most trivial
things. The canvass was to be still!
hunt. with lavish and corrupt use of
money on election day. Every nerve
was strained to drag contributions out
of the manufacturers, and the money
obtained in this way has not been spent,
but boarded II was not worth while
to waste IL in documents when it could
be saved until November and spent In
buying votes.
The Pennsylvania Senator has felt
obliged to abandon his economical theo-
ries this week. much to his disgust.
There has been a great deal of betting
on the election, and the odds all over
the country have been In favor of Cleve-
land. One of the first principles of
Pennsylvania politics is to make bluff,
and this condition OF affairs did not
please the Senator. Accordingly one of
his clerks, Colonel Swords, was sent out
into the highways and byways with a
roll of bills in his hand to bet on Harri-
son. His wsgers were all snapped up,
and he returned 10 the Republican
Headquarters without having accom-
plished anything in the way OF chang
ing the odds. It is the Senator's belief
that the fact that the betting is in favor
OF Cleveland all over the country win
have q disastrous effect on doubtfcl
voters, but he is now afraid that be
cannot change this without risking too
much money, that may be used with
more effect on election dag and wheth-
er be will let Colonel Swords loose again
remains TO be seen.
Senator Quay will find too late aha;
the doubtful methods that have been
successful in corrupt State viii no,
avsil in a national campaign. This is
a contest that is to De won by principle.
not by money. Tue honest voten who
favors tariff reform because he believe.
that his business will be benelaed. il
not likely to change his opinion simply
because the betting happens to bt
against his candidate. This bestipa
move of Senator Quay is too Ridiculous
to be considered seriously, but the plan:
OF wholesale Intimidation apd briber,
that he has laid out are q menace to thu
purity of elections and the prosperity OF
the country. II the people oS Pepusyl-
vania will tolerate this sort sf kpavery
IL Is. perhaps, only the business of hel
people but the voters OF the IA. ion viii

Senator Quay's devious course In No

THE Democrats of the Senate, says
the philadelphia Record endeavored to
fix time for closing the tariff debate
in order that q vote might be reached
during the present session. But this
did not suit the Republican majority,
and the proposition was eYaded. The
conclusion from the course of the Re-
publican Senators is that they have not
come to an understanding among them
selves, or that in spite OF their profess
sions in behalf of revenue reduction
they have determined to prevent any
vote on the question. or course, no
measure of substantial Tariff Reform
can be expected of the Senate at this or
any future session so long as that body
shall remain under control OF the bene-
ficisries and attorneys OF Monopoly.
AS at present constituted the Senate ls
incapable of legislsting in the interest
OF the people, and the sooner this truth
shall come to be understood the better
for the country.

meeting nominated Abram s. Hewitt,

County Democracy have endorced him.
The Tammany Hall Democrats have
nominated Sheriff Hugh J. Grant for
the same position, although the Tam
msnyites are not united. Whether the
Republicans will nominate a candidate
OF their own or endorse Hewitt is not
yet known. The fight in the city will
have a tendency TO bring out an in
creased vote which will be favorable to
to the Democrats, but there is danger
that in the fsctional fight q large
amount of trading will de done, and
with some OF the Democrats the city
Offices are deemed or more importance
than the Office OF President. The New

Concerning High Tariff.

The more one analyZes and considers
the theory Of the high tariff advoca sss
the firHeT becomes the conviction that
the present monopolistic system is not
only harmful to tie interests of the
Work:ngman, but tends in a great
measure to retard the growth and p,o.
gress OF the country.
There Is not q whit more sense or
Iustiee In restricting by a high tariff
our commercial intercourse with ether
aatieas OF the world t6an there would
De ID tbe restriction OF trade between
one county, township. or city and
another.
To be consistent sae Republicans OF
Pennsylvania shouh establish q high
tarih system BET yssen this Stare and
New York. 1t would prevent New
York merchants from selling, their
wares here and restrict the psople Of
this commonwealth to purchasing ex-
etnsively from Pennsylvania nanufae-
tnres- This would be following out the
,'protectlonists' - theory to rs logical
conclusion.
And more. The farmer OF lebanon
county should according to, the high
protectionist, be prohibited from bring
ing his produce into Daupbin- county in
competition with our farmers. Thi.
would enable the Dauphin county far
mer to comaDand high pries for his
produce but she people whs use it would
be the suflssers.
1t Is the truth, and the people know
it, that the few monopolises who control
the Republican party are the beneficial
ries OF the high tariff and the continue
ton Of the benefit depends on the sue
cess OF the Republican party
HdrTss6arg Patriot.
