THE PUMPKIN FLOOD.

Who that has lived in Johnstown for
any length OF time has not heard of it
Our old citizens often refer to it, espe-
cially in seasons of high water. 1t got its
name from the fact that it swept SO many
fields lying along the Stonycreek, bring
ing down thousands of pumpkins, leav-
ing the place filed with enough to make
pumpkin pies for all of New England,
and to feed droves of hogs and cattle for
months. Its date is fixed away back in
the thirties-say about 1881 or '32.
Nothing like it has ever been expert
enced here until the overflow OF two years
ago, when water, like q river, poured
down Main street, depositing saw-logs
and drift in Clinton, Market, Walnut and
other streets. Though there was no big
stone bridge then at the Point, and though
neither the Stonycreek nor the Cone.
maugh had been encroached upon by way
of narrowing their beds, some of our
" oldest inhabitants say, the only spot
on which the town was built which was
not submerged, was the lot on the north
west corner of Vine and Walnut streets.
Thus it will be seen that while the mar
rowing of the streams by new embank-
ments makes the town an easier prey to
overflows. forty-days' d-nights' rain,
or a cloud-burst," is hard to guard
against.
Johnstown weekly Democrat. (Johnstown, Cambria County, Pa.) 1889-1916, 1889-07-12
Encouraging.

One nf the encouraging signs of II
speedy and thorough clean up of the town
is the measure in which the work is be-
ing prosecuted under the new manage
ment Lots are being relieved of trees,
logs and stumps in an incredibly short
space of time. The gang OF twenty-five
men under David w. Harshberger on both
sides of Locust street between Franklin
and Clinton have accomplished wonders in
one short day The workmen now are dis
tributed in small squads all over town,
so that there are not a score or two stand
ing off and watching what.a half dozen do.
The commendable progress made in the
last two days under the new contractors
is of the most encouraging character. Let
the good work go on at the same rate, and
a few weeks will give the washed-out
town different appearance, and enable
lot owners to begin to build.

The Childrcn,s Aid Societies.

The whole of the good work done by
these societies will probably never be
known. The work done IN this place
since the flood by both of the organi2a-
tions can only be partially told, as, much
of the work done has been in the shape OF
help to families and persons whose names
are withheld from the pes.

THE JoHNsTOwN RELIEF FUND.
) the Edttor or tne yonnsto,on pen.oorat.

10 tte Editor or the Johnsto,on Democrat
There should be no difference in refer
ence to the method of distributing the
Johnstown relief fund. The custodians
of the relief funds all over the country,
amounting to millions of dollars in the
aggregate, do not know what is required
by the stricken people of the Conemaugh
valley, and the money should be distribu-
ted by men who live in the region and are
Identified with the great business interests
of the flooded valley. The question sim
ply Is, getting the money subscribed by
the people to relieve the dire distress of
the people into their hands, and the
money De forthwith sent to them. There
should be no further delay in delivering
over to the inhabitants of the Conemaugh
valley the money that is theirs by right.
regret that the junketing sub-commit-
tees sent to Johnstown ostensIbly to dis
cover the most pressing needs of the suf-
ferers only appear to furnish pretext for
dlay. Thus far the various commit
tees have not been satisfactory. The
only one thus far of all the volunteer WIS.,
itors who seem to have thoroughly ap-
preciated the distressful condition of the
people of Johnstown was the Mayor of
st. Louis, who gave out his money on
every hand to the sufferers. The impov-
erished sufferers of Johnstown should
revere the memory of the kind-hearted
Mr.. Noonan, Mayor of st. Louis.
Let the money be sent Immediately and
properly distributed among the people
who need it first. G. Nelson SMITH.

Death of Brewe. Goenner, of Cambria CITY,
This community was startled yesterday
hv the announcement of the death Of
jacob Gocnner. of Cambria. He was
known everywhere as the proprietor of
the Cambria City brewery, and had host
of friends. While not in the best of
health for some time he was able to be
about his business on Tuesday, and on
Wednesday morning his body was
swollen to an abnormal extent and
his condition was found to be serious. He
fingered along in great agony till about
five o'clock when he died.
There was not a property within two
squares of his place on Front street that
withstood the flood except his own. II
was damaged considerable, but it was put
in repair and for the past few weeks
the brewery has been in operation. Only
day or two ago he was up town and call
ed at the DEMOCRAT office on business
when he seemed to be in his usual health
Funeral notice will he given tomorrow

CInsnrd in ChubbY Arms.

William Warner relates a touching cpl
sode. He was working to rescue those he
could. Suddenly chubby little boy
came slong clinging to piece of fencing.
Warner reached the fence with pole and
drew it toward him. Then he rushed in
to the water and snatched the boy from
the frail raft.
Back to the bank he went with pair of
chubby arms squeezed tightly around his
neck. Warner attempted to set his bur
den down, but the little arms clung des-
perately. " You saved me-" he cried, and
he squeezed with all his might. His
arms were forced away while the little
fellow struggled and screamed. 1t was
the clasp of an affection born of terror.

in Johnsown his large practice not only
gave him deservcdly high reputation as
one of Johnstown's most eminent physi.

financial basis.
He was diligent student, and kept

His library, which was one of the largest
private ones in town, was filed with all
