STILL FLOATING ABOUT.
Little Matters of Interest Concerning
Flood In the Couemaugh.

Little Matters of Interest Concerning the
Flood in the Conemaugh.
ED. A. OWEN, of East Saginaw, Mich, tele-
graphs that he can guarantee 80 carloads of
lumber for use at Johnstown.
THE Union Coffee Company of New York,
sent 500 pounds of Manola coffee for the Johns
town sufferers, which has been forwarded by
the committee to Johnstown.
JOHN A. CRAWFORD, of Herr's Island, will
give carload of lumber also. He advocates
the idea of a practical builder compiling a
schedule of the lengths and other dimensions
of the lumber needed.
THE Relief Fund of the g. A. r. for the ben.
eft of the Conemaugh Valley sufferers was
swelled yesterday by 500 from Duquesne Post
259, and So from Mrs. F. Walter. of Brooklyn
N. Y. The total cash received to date is 81,
S96 q. Considerable more is expected from
suburban posts next week. a''-
A FEW days since lady went into Rosen-
baum's store and informed one of the firm that
she wished to purchase children's hats, as the
Ladies' Relief Society did not have any. He
refused to SELL but insisted on donating a dozen
hats, together with large quantity of trim
mings for ladies' bOnnets, all of which were
duly appreciated by the society, as well as by
many of the Johnstown sufferers.
BEGINNING this morning the Eastern mail
from this city will 90 out over the Pennsylva-
MA Railroad the same as before the flood after
discontinuanee of 16 days. It is expected,
however, that the mail from the East will be
from tyeo to four hours late for some time
owing to the condition of the tracks in the vi
cinity of JohnstOwn, and until they are in good
condition for fast travel again.

mARsHELL, THE CASH GROCER,
VIII Save You Money if You Are Free
Nnu.


sDo not put your name on my packages
or will be discharged" am constantly
in receipt of orders for goods to be shipped
to different parts of our State and receive
the above instructions.
am not dealing in counterfeit money,
nor am engaged in selling whisky to pro-
fessional Prohibitionists. I am only gro
Ger and sell nothing anyone need be ashamed
to buy.
The men who write these orders are citi-
zens Of Pennsylvania and are popularly sup
posed to be free men. They are not free,
but are as truly slaves as was any negro of
the South before the war. They toll hard
in the mines of our State. Their wages are
surely low enough, yet their employers
claim the right to control their wages after
they have earned them.
The Constitution Of the United States
declares that all men are born free and
equal. But by no stretch of the imagina-
tion can these men be said to have rights
equal to those who employ them.
Our ministers portray the curse of in
temperance from the pulpit. Our editors
produce long arrays of figures against it.
Our ladies pray on the street corners for the
coming of prohibition, but no one can be
found who will protest against this serfdom.
Nay, more, the very men who are the lead
ers of these corporations, who by word can
make or unmake this system of slavery, are
honored in our midst and pose as the lead
ers of public charities.
Shame on such charity which will de-
priye fellow man Of his freedom with the
one hand and with the other dispense as
charity some of the money wrung from his
sufferings. MARsHELL,
70 & 81 Ohio st., cor. Sandusky, Allegheny.

sewer with charges of dynamite yesterday
afternoon. A small charge was fired at the
lower end of the sewer under Soho street,
but without effect. Chief Brown then gave
orders to fire big charge at the sewer drop
IN the pond. A raft was towed over to the
exact locality and a curious crowd watched
the proceedings with open-mouthed wonder.
A black man with one eve emerged from q
shanty carrying an abbreviated cone made
OF pewter in his arms. He moved with q
gingerly tread and hugged the cone as if
1t were pickaninny. The crowd scattered
when they saw him coming. He was carry
ing 80 pounds of dynamite, and if ne had
stumbled someone would have got hurt.
There were two wires running into the cone,
and when the colored man reached the raft
he twisted some insulated wire ends on the
short pieces running into the cone, and with
two pieces of short string he lowered the
murderous looking missile into the muddy
water. Carefully he paid it out inch by
inch until the bottom was reached. Then
he made his way to the shore, clearing the
wires of distractions and carried the ends
to Mr.. E. B. Maccabee, who has the dyna-
miting in charge. The raft was pulled
away and the crowd warned away. The
ends of the wire were attached to the poles
of small upright battery. 'tLook outP'
bawled Mr.. Maccabee, as he caught hold of
handle and gave sharp pull. There was
a snap and crackle of the electric spark
and mighty reverberation. About ten
feet of the bank at the water rose up vio-
lently and tell crumbling into the water,
while mass of water 20 feet across was sent
up into the air 10 or IL feet, A pail Of
smoke came from the disturbed surface, and
bubbles continued to rise for several min
utes. "That discharge cost the city $25.
If it hasn't worked we'll fire a 50-pound
charge on Monday" remarked Mr.. Mac
cabee, as he started home. Work was done
for the evening.

A GREAT OVATION

rendered John Jarrett, Pittsburg's Labor
Leader uud PrOrectfonist, Last Might
An Address by an Iron Master.
John Jarrett, one of Pittsburg's greatest
labor leaders, a pronounced protectionist,
the man who knocked out Horizontal Bill
Morrison, the man who put the Amalga-
mated Association on solid footing and
who has always looked after the welfare of
the wageworkers, received a big ovation at
Lafayette Hall last night. Mr.. Jarrett will
shortly leave Pittsburg and assume the
duties of United States Consul at Birming-
ham, England, and his friends and the St.
David's Benevolent Society invited him to
meet them before he departed to fill the i'm
portant mission intrusted to him by Presi-
dent Harrison.
Fully ZOO persons assembled at the hall
last evening. Mr.. I. c. jenkins presided
at the meeting. Hon. Miles S. Humphries
was introduced to the audience and after
paying high tribute to Mr.. jarrett, pre-
sented him with a handsome gift on be-
half of the St. David's Society. Mr.. Jarrett
responded in short address, saying there
was more pleasure in giving than receiving,
but when such an expression of good will
accompanied the gift it was more pleasant
to receive. He then spoke on protec-
ton and classed free trade with
slavery and protection with liberty.
He said that the highest honor that could
be conferred upon a man was to class him
as an honest workingman. During the
years he has been in America he believed he
had worked conscientiously to uphold wages
and labored in the interest of the working
classes. Wherever he goes and wherever
his lot may be he will always adhere to
these principles. He thanked the St,
David's Society and his friends for this
special mark of respect.
Mr.. John Henry, of the CHARTERS Rolling
Mill Company, who was to have delivered
the address of the evening, was unable to be
present ard his address was read by Mr.. w.
J. Jones, Cashier of the Peoples Savings
Bank.
At the conclusion of the address Messrs.
jenkins Jones, Evan Jones, William
Weihe, William Martin, Albert Edwards
and others made few remarks.
The addresses were interspersed by sing
ing by the Welsh male chorus, under the
leadership of Prof. d. j. Davis.
A farewell reception was rendered Mr..
Jarrett at his residence, 204 Bedford ave-
nue., Wednesday evening, by the scholars
of his Sunday school class. Among those
present were Annie Griffiths, Winnie Pros.
ser, Winnie Thomas, Annie, Maggie and
Lizzie Jenkins, Winnie Evans, Maggie
Clark, Rachel Bowan, Edith and Annie
Harris, Mollie Bennett, Sadie and Mary
Evans, Sadie Aufbammer. Polly, Jane sad
Maggie Hughes, Ida Owens, Clara Lloyd,
Mrs. Morgan, of Sharon, and others. The
class presented Mr.Jarrett with handsome
travelling bag.

AT THE DEPOTS.
Few Passengers From ohnsrown-Regular
Trains Commence Running.

Few Passengers From JOhnsrown-Regulnr
Trains Commence Running.
But comparatively few passengers arrived
in Pittsburg on the train from Johnstown
last night, and the majority of those aboard
seemed to be Pittsburgers, who were return
ing to spend Sunday at home. Among the
passengers was Colonel Hill, the Quarter
master General at Johnstown. The Colonel
said that he came to town simply on mat
ter of business, but that it had nothing to
do with procuring additional rations for the
militia or laborers. Further than this he
had nothing to say. Contractor Kirk, who
is blowing up the debris at the bridge, was
also a passenger on the same train. He
simply comes IN to spend Sunday with his
family, and will return to his work early
Monday morning.
Early yesterday forenoon notice was
posted at the depot calling for 200 men to go
to Johnstown at 81 so per day. The notice
was only up short while, and the 200
men were sent to. Johnstown on the 1885
train.
The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad has been re-
built through the late flooded district under
the direct supervision of the officers in
tion departments of the Pennsylvania lines.
The new track has been substantially built,
and it will be gradually tested until Mon
day, when the line will be re-opened, and
express trains will again run through in
both directions between Chicago, st, Louis,
Cincinnati and Cleveland on the west, and
Baltimore. Washington, Philadelphia and
New York on the east.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has opened
up. through travel to Johnstown, and the
opening will be formally signalized by the
company this evening, who will run out
their first train to the ruined city. The
train will be an exclusively special one,
containing several representatives of the
press of this city. The train will leave at
1886 this morning, and will run to Johns
town and South Fork. Arriving at the
Fork the party will be driven to the dam.
After thorough inspection of which the
guests will return to the city.

Coast called at her table and inquired for
two families, one named Weiss and the
other Devine. Mrs. Easton was overjoyed
to be able to tell them that both families
had been saved, all alive and well, and in
this city. She was also enabled to tell the
two men where their friends could be found.
The ladies of the clothing department re-
ceived letter from D. Lauder, Secretary of
the Relief Committee at Riddlesburg, Pa,
thanking them for their donation of cloth
ing and complimenting them on the manner
in which the clothes we're assorted and
marked, designating what each bundle con-
tanned.
THE LITTLE UNKNOWN.
Mrs. George A. Kelly, of the Executive
Committee, yesterday received a letter from
Emma j. Ham, of Beaver, inclosing pho
years of age. The photograph was entitled
1.-THE Little Unknown" and told of the
body being found in the Ohio river at
Yanport 125 miles from Johnstown, on
June 1 at o'clock, % hours after the burst
ing of the dam. The following is the de-
scrlption of the child as given in the letter:
The child was between 8 and years old,
and had several marks on the body, which
SuOh6u udu ICCcublH suACIOO AAOhA NAASn-
en-pox 1t also had small, deep burn on
the arm.
The photograph is an excellent one, and
the parents could easily recognize it.
AT THE EXPOSITION.
The ladies who are at work sorting out
and providing the men sufferers with cloth
ing, are doing very good work, and too
much cannot be said in their praise.
Dozens of men have been sent to them, and
have been supplied with complete and SUBJ
stantial outfits.
1t purely matter of conjecture when the
work OF either of the branches of the
Women's Committee will be completed.
As long as the sufferers continue to come
here they will be received, cared for, and
provided with homes, until they are able to
support themselves 1t looks as though the
women were in for a long siege OF hard
work,

A SUBURBAN FLOOD.

Girty's Run Rises Rapidly and n Railroad
is Washed Ont.
Millvale, on the West Penn road, was
afraid of food for short time last even
ing after the copious rainfall began to make
itself known in Girty's run, which has its
course through the town. The rain was
particularly severe around Evergreen, and
about o'clock the water in the creek rose
ten feet in about half an hour, causing
some of the culverts under the streets to
become flooded to the top.
A flood in Girty's run without taking
out several bridges on the Evergreen branch
of the Pittsburg and Western would not be
a flood. The only train on the road was at
the Millvale end of the road when the
waters rose, and when it attempted to go to
Evergreen it was found that the bridge at
Walkers station was gone, while it is sup
posed that several others up the valley
shared the same fate. When the road will
again be operated is not known.
