The long locke or relief money IS
about to be distribul>.. The Board of
Inquiry has given checks on the First
National Bank to persons in the first,
second, and third classes. The checks
are sent by mail. In some cases the
checks are not sent until the mother or
guardian makes oath to the ages of minor
children. Glass consists of those made
widows and orphans by the flood, who
have no property or other means of sup
port. Glass consists of widows and
orphans not made so by the food, and
aged and infirm persons who have no
means of support. Glass consists of the
same character of persons, but who are
not entirely without property. Children
will receive $50 per year until the age of
sixteen. Somes cases the entire amount
will be paid to the mothers, in Others the
sum will be invested in an annuity trust
company and payments made periodically.
Former payments, houses, furniture, etc.

THREE MONTHS OF TANNER.

The treasury statement for September,
says lhe Philadelphia Times, reveals very
clearly why 1t was necessary to get rid of
Tanner.
OF rhe increase in government expendi-
lures for the quarter ending September
80 il ippears that $40, 0,568,000 was due to
increased outlay for the Pension Bureau.
At llis rate the increase for pensions
alone for the fiscal year would have been
$42, 900 and upwards, or more than
fifty per cent. moro than in any former
year. In other words to the $50, 100000
expended for pensions last year would
have been added $42,00O,0O more, max
ing total of $122, 100000
This sum is $3O,OOO,OO0 greater than is
expended for the maintenance of Ger
many's enormous standing army, Sill
600, 900 more than the annual war outlay
of France, and $32,000,O00 more than
that of England. Four years of Tanner
| at this rate would have made our pension
expenditures equal to the war expendi
lures of all three of the great powers oi
Western Europe, unless some one could
have been hired to hold him.

Read the Law Before You Shoot.

BY an act of the Legislature, approved
April 25, 1889, the act of June 3, 1878, per-
mitting the killing OF quail or Virginia
partridge between October 10 and January
1, has been amended, and it now reads as
follows No person shall kill or ex-
pose for sale or have in his possession

or Virginia partridge, between the 10Th
day of December in any year and the 1st
day of November next following, under
penalty of $40 for each bird so killed, ex-
posed for sale or had in his possession
Gunners would do well to pay strict at.
tention to tn, law, as there are number
of gentlemen in this city and county who
are anxious that partridges are protected.
They declare that they will see that the
law is enforced to the letter.
BY the act of 1881 rabbits can be shot
only from November to January 1.

A German Woman Throws "a Policeman
Over the Fence.
New York Corr, of Lancaster Inquirer.
Mrs. Mary Richardson, of Jersey City,
a200 pound German woman of forty seven
years, soundly thrashed two policemen
and deputy sheriff who tried to dis
posses her yesterday. She met them with
a Colts navy revolver at the door, and
sent two shots whizzing close by their
ears. The third cap missed fire and be-
fore Mrs. Richardson could shut the door
the officers were upon her. She dropped
the revolver and led off with left handler
that knocked the deputy sheriff clean off
his feet. She sent one policeman to the
floor with a blow on the face, and bowled
the other up aud down the corridor in a
catch-as-oatch.ca wrestling bout. She
retreated to her back yard eventually,
with the deputy sheriff after her. After
short rough-anG- tumble fight, she picked
him up in her arms and dropped him
over the fence into neighbor's yard.
This feat cost her her liberty, for, while
she was doing it, two policemen crept up
behind her and grabbed her wrists, and
lima minute had handouts on her. Then
the three disfgured but triumphant Off
GERS, marched their captive to prison. In
court Mrs. Richardson was held for fe-
onious assault.

LUXURY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL.
The Pennsylvanias New York and Chicag
Limited Express.

The Pennsylvania's New York and Chicago
Limited Express.
New York World.
In those Improvements which make
railroad travel luxury the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has always been q
pioneer. The handsome finish and COM
fort of its ordinary cars almost render
the old drawing-room car superauous.
Probably that is the reason the corpora
ton has added new accommodations and
attractions to its palace-car system such
as have never before been dreamed of in
the philosophy of the rail. Bathrooms
have been added to the sleepIng-cars,
with female attendants for lady passen-
gers. A drawing-room car, handsomely
fitted with rockers and other easy
chairs, has been placed In the rear of the
sleepers, in which persons taking berths
can ride while their beds are being pre-
pared. Barber-shops are provided for
men, and arrangements have been made
to receive stock quotations on the day
trains. So a traveller can now have as
many conveniences and luxuries on q
Pennsylvania train as he can obtain in
his own home or hotel.

Prosperous and Healthy.


The Johnstown Daily DEMOCRAT en-
tered the second year of his publication
on Tuesday of last week. Notwith-
standing the usual difficulties which at
tend the Introduction of daily paper
and the trying ordeal of the food in
which its office was extensively dam
aged and its subscribers and advertising
patrons swept into eternity, inficting
heavy loss on the publisher, the paper
appears to be in a prosperous and healthy
condition. Altogether Mr.. Woodruff
has had hard row to hoe the first year
and it is to be hoped that the old adage
" A bad beginning insures a good end
ing may be verified in his case, that the
DEMOCRAT may continue to prosper and
more than fulfil the brightest expectation
of the publisher.

DISPATCHES from the northwest indicate
that the cattle raisers anticipate hard
winter for their business, owing to a
scarcity of feed and water. The dry
season has seriously affected the growth
of hay, the amount cured being compare
lively small, while owing to the same
cause great stretches of prairie have
been burned over, thus completely de-
stroying such pasture as survived the
drought. The stock is already suffering,
and death from starvation will, it is ex-
pected greatly deplete the herds. This
will bring heavy loss to the ranchmcn,
who are despondent over the situation.
Time was when to be engaged in the eat
tie business in the great West was to be-
come rich in very few years but the
changed conditions under which the busi-
ness is now carried on have greatly in
creased the risks of loss, and he may be
considered a lucky ranchman who gets
through a decade without meeting with
reverses,

1t will be remembered by many of the
survivors of the flood of May, 81, 1889,
how the fire from the Catholic church
lit up the heavens on that terrible night.
Many a poor victim who had lost both
relatives and property, and had to take
refuge on the roof of some wrecked
building or watched the fire from
tie side of some neighboring hill can re-
call the lonely hours as they slowly
passed away duriag that never to be for
gotten night. When the fire reached the
church tower, and slowly began to eat
its way toward the top, it was sight
that was calculated to thrill person with
awe. One by one the crosses on the
four corners of the tower toppled over
and fell to the pavement below or within
the burning building, and each as it fell
Illuminated the heavens just for moment.
Finally when the fire reached the tim
bers that held the bell in place, far up
near the top, which was surmounted by a
very large cross, and as the fire progressed
it could be seen to tremble and totter for
a few moments, when it suddenly crashed
down to the bottom of the tower, carry
ing the cross with it, and sending up
shower of sparks heavenward that
caused feeling of gloom to spread all
over the doomed city. When the bell
was dug out of the ruins it was found to
be very badly cracked on both sides, an d
could only be converted into old metal
and recast.

A TRIP in a railroad car covering more
that five thousand miles, which does not
necessitate a single change of cars, al
though it runs over score of different
roa is and passes through as many States
and Territories, and will not compel the
passengers to touch the ground during
the whole of it unless they feel disposed,
may indeed be regarded as the most re-
markable railroading feat the world has
ever seen. Yet that will be one of the ex-
periences wich the delegates to the Con-
gress of the three Americas will expert

luxuriously as they can do in the best

THERE appears to be general revival
of the question of whether a theatrical
audience has a right to hiss bad actor or
bad play, and some newspapers show
an inclination to come out for the affirm
ative. If any of these newspapers are of
the opinion that gentleman by birth or
breeding, q gentleman in the correct
sense of that much-abused word, would
hiss an actor or play or anything else, it has
perhaps an apparent excuse for its argu-
ment, Has any one ever met man of
courtesy and refinement who would con.
slider himself justified in Kissing an actor
or play that did not please him? Shal
our theatre audiences pattern after such
men or after hoodlums There is another
thing to consider, Tastes differ, and
what pleases one person does not always
give pleasure to another. If ten per cent.
of an audience was dissatisfied with a
performance, would that ten per cent. be
justified in spelling the pleasure of the
other ninety per cent The advocates of
Kissing would be the first 70 cry out
against the outrage, if they were part Of
the ninty per cent so let them stop
preaching hoodlunism, and hold their
peace.

Deaib of Miss saIIIe A. stroup.

In the death of Miss Sallie A. Stroup,
which occurred Friday morning thortly
after 10 o'clock, Johnstown has lost one
of its most estimable young ladies.
Among her acquaintance she was held in
the highest esteem for her true womanly
qualities and amiable disposition. She
was a prominent worker in the young
LADIES' branch of the w. @. T. T., having
been Superintendent of the Flower Mis-
sion, and performed her duties with
energy and ability. During the great
calamity she endeared herself to many by
her brave and gentle actions, so as to win
the unqualified esteem and regard of all
with whom she came in contact. For at
least two weeks after the flood, and .per
AAps q lsagsS sime, she assisted at the
Bedford Street Hospital in such a way
as to bring brightness and happiness
to many q weary sufferer. Her memory
should, and no doubt will, be long kept
fresh in the hearts of many who fire.
quently noticed her on her missions of
love and mercy.
Miss Stroup was born in this city, and
was about twenty-eight years of age. She
was member of the United Presbyterian
Church, and illustrated in her life the
beauties of the true christian character.

The costliest luxury in which nation
can indulge is one of the modern war
ships. A century ago 100000 was a
great price for warship. England's
most formidable one, the Royal George,
cost less than $3.50, 900. Now an ordinary
naval vessel costs million and half,
while S4,313,97O was paid for the con-
struction of the Trafalgar, of the British
navy. When civilization has advanced
to that point when governments can
govern themselves without the assistance
of powder, there will be a mighty sum of
money to pass over to the cause of educa-
ton, religion and better public roads.

STATISTICS prepared by the Railroad
Commissioners of Iowa show that in that
State alone, with 5000 miles of railroad,
352 brakemen were killed or injured in
1888 because of the use of the common
link k-and-pin coupling and the mandrake
on freight. cars. Experts assert that
practical safety brakes and couplers have
been invented and may be readily OBJ
tanned; yet many corporations continue
to disregard the appeals of humanity
in this matter, says the Philadelphia

To The Editor OF the JolnStoton Democrat
There appeared an article in the issue

through the privileges of the press and

loser was to haul the winner in a wagon
wherever he wanted to 60 inside the limits

paid yesterday afternoon and Doc was
attired for the occasion. He wore a white
stiff hat in which three plumes taken from
q feather-duster were sticking straight up
in the air, and his face a 80 spotted with
red ink and bedaubed with strips OF court
plaster that he appeared as if he had just
machine. Althoff provided the wagon, a
little red one such as small boys love to
play with. Into this narrow and short
conveyance Doc crowded his anatomy, and
the procession started from the Mint saloon
toward the California beer hall. The last
seen Of the imposing spectacle was way out
on Broadway in the cleaning.
Another uncommon spectacle seen on the
street yesterday was Bob "Hooton" aud a
companion walking down Main street, the
latter wearing q light plug hat from which
the flames were shooting about two feet
into the air. Unknown to his companion,
Bob had poured a quantity OF alcohol on
the hat Int touched q Inatch to it. The head
piece became too warm for comfort before
the wearer had any knowledge OF the practi-
calioke played on him. When asked why he
had given his friend the appearance of an

could get that particularly tiresome hat
