COL. McCLasKY's DEATH.

Although he had not been long resi-
dent of this city, there was no citizen
better OF more favorably known than
Col. DAVID MCCLAsKY. whose death
we chronicle this morning. He was in
bad health when he came from Cleve-
land, less than two years ago, to become
the proprietor of the Ryan hotel in this
city, Yet. Notwithstanding his physical
infirmities, he succeeded in establish
ing business reputation here of the
highest order, and by his genial quail
ties endeared to himself a large circle
of devoted friends. Col. MCCLAsKY
was one of the most noted, as well as
one of the most successful hotel men in
the country. In addition to being the
source of deepest grief to his many
friends, his death is great loss to this

THE PET OF THE WORKS.
The Body OF Jessie Downs Found
in the Cellar of One of the

in the Cellar of One of the
Mills.
A favorite girl here, says Johns
town letter to the New York Sun, was
Jessie Downs, the fourteen-year-old
daughter of Patrick Downs, who worked
in one of the mills of the Cambria iron
works. Jessie was thought by many
people to be the prettiest little girl in
JohnStown township. Her beauty was
famous. She was blonde and had
blue eyes ann lovely fiaXen curls. Her
beauty and her extreme lightness and
amiability of manner made her the ia
vOrite at the works. She wondered in
and out where she pleased at will and
was treated by everybody with great
tenderness.
This morning the workmen began in
earnest at the work of cleaning up the
Cambria plant. They tackled first the
long building furthest from Stony creek
under the brow of the HILL and after a
forenoon's work with engines and der
rickS and other big machines, had
enough of the debris in front of the
building cleared to allow of an opening
into the building by the Office door, the
broad wall having been destroyed. Be-
fore the office door lay freight car
which had had been swept half a mile
or more by the torrent. The freight car
was blown up and its pieces burned.
The wOrkmeI found the building well
nigh filled with trees and the usual
debris. From one corner of the first
floor an iron stairway leads down into
the cellar, and these one of the work
men descended. The cellar was nearly
filled with mud and sand packed as
hard and firm as though it had been all
pressed there by hydraulic power.
The workman was about to go up
stairs again when he saw tiny shoe
sticking above the mud in one corner.
He looked closer and saw that the shoe
was girls foot. In few moments
there was uncovered the body of the
pet of the works, Jessie Downs. The
workmen stood around and sObbed as
they looked at her. The singular thing
was that the body of the poor girl was
not bruised or hurt in the slightest de-
gree. The wet sand was so packed
around her that she lay, her limbs and
features composed as if in sleep. Her
face was as white as marble. The
wOrkmen lifted her out tenderly and
placed her in coffin which they them
selves brought to the works, not wish
ing her to be carried through
the streets on stretcher. When
her father came he looked at
her body silently and calmly for he
knew, of course, long before that his
child must have persisted. He was only
happy that the girls body was not found
mangled and bruised out of shape, as
most of the dead people are. He had
identified the body of his wife at the
Pennsylvania railroad morgue but a few
before. Men were just carry
ing a body in there when he said:
Hold on minute, let me look at it."
He said, a minute after, "That's my
wife"
Mother and daughter were buried side
by side in the Grove Hill cemetery in
the afternoon, and the father went to
work with sad heart and white, tear
less face, helping to clear up the ruins |
of the town. His daughter must have
rushed into the cellar of the building
where she was found, thinking to escape
the waters there when they came rush

OUR GLORIOUS FOURTH.

This is the day we celebrate. or at
least the day we ought to celebrate, but
there is such a variety of opinions as to
what a Fourth of July celebration
should be, the Oldest prophet couldn't
predict day in advance what sort of a
celebration we are going to have. We
know that it is national holiday, and
everybody but newspaper workers will
have day off. We know that the small
boy and his everlasting pop-cracker
are always with US on the Fourth.
There will be great migration to the
lakes to-day, where the thousands of
people will mix around under the shade
of the trees and the pavilions; will eat
the cold victuals they will take from
home with them, and will come back
this evening in crowded cars, weary,
oh, so weary, and thanking the good
Lord that the Fourth of July only comes
once year. Perhaps half of our
population, who have had all the eX-
perience they want in Fourth OF July
picnicS, will be content to stay at home
to-day and take things easy. They will
enjoy the regatta Oh the river and a
warm dinner afterwards; possibly some
of them will recall the sentiment of the
immortal Declaration, and thus refresh
their souls with patriotic ardor; and as
sure as fate all of them will undergo a
severe nerve test from the uninter-
rupted din of popping firecraekers.
But this is Freedoms day, so let her
go, GALLAGHER.
Whether you go abroad or stay at
home, be sure to have good time, and
see to it that your families and your
neighborS' families have a good time,
too.
Give young America full sway. Let
the young ones have all the Fourth of
July ammunition that they want. Give
them firecrackerS by the gross, torpe-
does. rockets, Roman candles, Chinese
lanterns and everything that will help
to boom the day we love; and then tell
the little folks to go in for big noise
and a good time.
Decorate your houses with flags.
Let the stars and stripes float from
every st. Paul home, and be sure to
put the four new twinklerS on your
banners in honor of the four new states
to the west of us.
1t may not occur to you, but yet it is
a fact, that there are some persons in
the community too poor to participate
in to-day's festivities. That which is
the glorious reality of freedom to us is
but as the mockery of dream to them.
Extend the hand of charity to the pov
erty-stricken, that they may learn to
love their country for its generous
people.
Remember that this is our centennial
Fourth, Dor should we fail to express
our gratitude to the God of Nations that
He has led us by His own hand these
hnndled years.

ENTITLED TO DAMAGES.

An actress brought suit against firm
of cigarette manufacturers in New
York for using her face, attached to a
figure dressed in tights, on the adver-
tisements sent out with their goods. No
good excuse can be had for such a lib
erty. Possibly those addicted to cigar
cites are numerously attracted by the
pictures that are furnished with the
articles, but it may be questioned if
there is not room for CoMsToCK to in
vestigate. They should be restricted at
least to the use of only such female fig
ures as are without pernicious sugges-
ton, and are used with the consent of
the parties.

All, who is this on whom all wondering
gaze:-
Who eauseth now the air to trembling shed
About her such divine and perfect haze
of loneliness? All, she hath theughtless
Fair Love full many chase with tempting
SMILE
And he himself hath lost his heart the while !
What power lent his shaft to those fair
eyes?-
All, Love alone can ever tell-for
Have neither words nor skill to mark the rise
Of countless starbeams in the ambient sky.
All men are dumb when she is standing
by
They cannot speak, nor think-they only
sigh.
1t is to her that every virtue bows,
And Beauty points to her, Immaculate,
As that perfection which her grace endows
To show what she is able to create.
All she is cast in that sweet, sacred mold
Of goddesses, which seldom men behold.
Then who would dare describe her lowell
ness
The mind of man can never soar so high
That he would try; not yet does he possess
The purity of soul. the worthy eye.
He only knows that she is all that's best
A maid of gent1eness, a virgin blest.

Divorce in Five Countries.

If the wife of Turkoman asks his
permission to go out, and he says Co"
without adding Come back again"
they are divorced.
In Siberia if a man is dissatisfied with
the most trifling acts of his wife, he
tears cap or veil from her face, and
that constitutes divorce.
In Siam the first wife may be di-
vOrced, but not sold as the others may
be. She may claim the first child. The
others belong to her husband.
Among the Moors if the wife does not
become the mother of a boy she may be
divorced, with the consent Of the tribe,
and can marry again.
In the Arcticregions a man who wants
divorce leaves home in anger, and
does not return for several days. The
wife takes the hint and departs.

An Adventure without a Parallel.

L
A. M. Battye, engineer of the steamer
Gulf of Trinidad, who arrived at Plyme
outh yesterday from Barbados, mar
rates an almost uneXampled adventure
which befell him during the voyage,
of that ship. The Gulf of Trinidad
while voyaging from Iquique for
Europe, encountered heavy weather,
during which, soon after II O'clock on
dark night. Battye was washed over
board. The accident was observed on
board and a life buoy Immediately
thrown over and the vessel stopped.
Battye sunk deeply when reaching tfSv
water, but OH rising to the surface he
struck out swimming and reached
the life buoy. The way on the
steamer had carried her far beyond him,
and though the boat was lowered,
the prospect of finding him in such
weather and at night was aSmest hope
less. Battye soon ceased to see the ship,
and when daylight broke he found him
self alone on the life buoy hun
dred miles, so far as he knew,
from any help. He kept afloat
throughout the next day, al
though the tropical heat of the
sun was intense. The following night
he suffered terribly from being without
anything to eat or drink. and in the mo-
