A YOUNG lady near Clayton, Ga, a
few DAYS since prepared a wedding
supper and invited relatives and
friends to be present and witness her
marriage to young man of the neigh
borhood. The company assembled,
tue bride was attired in her wedding
costume and the supper was in wait
ing, but the bridegroom did not APP
pear. At a late hour, however he ac-
cidentally happened along, dressed in
his everyday clothes, and, being made
acquainted with the object of the as
semblage, expressed great surprise,
stating that he had no notice whatever
of the intended wedding. The we'd
ding was postponed but the supper
was highly enjoyed all the same

IL 1878 a rather mature-looking
young man was employed in the Sec
retary's Office of the United States Sen
ate. He was under thirty years of age,
but close study and hard newspaper
work had made him look older. He was
a quiet, dignifed man, and was known
as "Gil' Pierce among his intimate
friends. His duties as assistant jour
nal clerk threw him in contact with the
Senator's, and he made many friends
among them. Later on he joined the
editorial staff of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. President Arthur appointed
him Governor of Dakota Territory.
He is now in Washington again, this
time as the newly elected United
States Senator from the State of NORTH

Every Effort Is Being Made TO Open tho
Line for Travel.
PHILADELPHIA, June 3-The best lnforma-
tion that can be obtained to-day at the Penn
sylvania railroad office in this city is to the ef:
feet that route will be patched up to Altoona
within 96 hours, thus giving the 800 or more east
and west bound passengers laid mp at that
place an opportunity to get away from there
On the middle division of the main line the
road Is clear from Altoona, and they hope to
get from Petersburg to Huntingdon some time
to-day. From Huntingdon to Manayunk bridge
there are several bad breaks. All but one span
OF the Manayunk bridge has been swept away.
East of that point the Mays bridge is gone and
but one span remains of the Granville bridge
From Lewiston to Harrisburg, a distance Of IS
miles. the line is clear.
The railroad people expect soon to get a dis
patch wire through to Altoona over the main
line route when a correct list of the passengers
on the Day express and mail train, who were
left at Conemaugh, will be obtained, as well as
the whereabouts Of those who did not go to
Altoona. From the best information obtaina-
Die 1t can be stated that only seven of the
passengers were lost. From Altoona westward,
in the day line, the track is open to within a
short distance of South Fork, where the bridge
was washed away Friday evening Between
South Fork and Johnstown, LOCO men are busy
putting the track in shape. At Johnstown and
west Of there several large gangs Of workmen
are employed. It is not believed that passen-
gers can be conveyed from Harrisburg to Pitts
burg over the main line inside week or ten
days. As to the transportation of freight and
mails nothing definite can be learned.

HE GAVE UP HIS OWN DINNER.
Adjutant General Hastings succors Poor,
Starving Woman.


lFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June IA big man with big
heart is Adjutant General Hastings. Strict as
he is in the performance of his duty he is new
ertheless as gentle as a woman dealing with the
poor stunned beings who have lost their all.
The writer has been near General Hastings on
number of occasions when little traits OF
character unintentionally revealed the soldier
as the man. This afternoon when the pitiless
rain was pattering down upon the
hundreds Of half-starved victims of the
floods ravages, who were gathered about
the Commissary Department, General
Hastings was compelled to announce
to the crowd that no more provisions could be
given out until another car load Of crackers
arrived upon the scene. As he left the plat
form, a woman. haggard and faint bearing a
baby in her arms, tapped him timidly upon the
arm
"Pleasasir," said she, while the tears chased
one another down her saddened and half
shameful countenance, "can't you give me a
bite OF bread2 Only bite? l haven't tasted
anything since yesterday morning."
AGAINST ORDERS I" was the Generals iaconic
reply, as he strobe away. He did not go far
however. until he had ordered one of his subor-
dinates to follow the woman and serve to her
the steamlng dinner which kindly hands had
prepared for him. Being an eyewitness to the
whole scene. walked up to the General and
asked him why he had not given the woman
something out of the general store.
Il had given orders that no rations should be
dispensed for an hour" said he, 'and with a
good-natured smile) I couldn't countenance a
breach of discipline"

iFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
NINEvEH, June 3.-Some measures should
be taken at once to effectually squelch tn g
fiendish relic hunters. They are here in full
force and large numbers, and some Of the
tricks they resort to in their efforts to secure
mementos of the flood are almost criminal in
their cruelty. While working amid the smold-

At this place, where the dead almost out
number the living, some frightful deeds have
been perpetrated by the searchers for relics.
One man stole an old bandana kerchief from
about the head of dead colored woman. An
other removed shoe from an old, gray-haired d
man, whose stiff and mangled corpse was found
dangling in a tree, while still another possessed

Nor are the relic hunters the only class VIII o

The heartless crowds of excursionists who
have thronged the regions round about for the
past few days would be more at home in q Jail
than anywhere else If their actions go for
aught. Some Of them have gone through the
town singing, whistling and cracking the coars-
est of jokes, while others have trampied o'er
the cofins strewn about the roads with an
utter disregard for their sacred and hallowed
contents.

them. He wants them to bring all neces-
sary tools, and says they should be formed
into two camps, which should be guarded
by an adequate force of military. He wants
Pittsburg to send the men here, and he wants
the Chamber of Commerce to demand the
military guard from General Beaver. The
camp should be supplied with cooks and
everything necessary to their subsistence.
Many Laborers Needed.
''The local people," said Captain Jones,
shave only 600 men at work now, and these
are nearly exhausted. One of these camps
1 tell you about should be in the southeast
ern part of the town, and the other in the
center 1t will take not less than two weeks
for such force of men to clean this place.
The sheriffs of Indiana and Westmoreland
counties should have the debris piled along
the banks of the streams, and re-examined
for human bodies. The Pittsburg Chamber
of Commerce should ask them to send out
men to do this at once. In my telegram to
them tonight make this suggestion
Adjutant General Hastings tonight sent
this dispatch to the PIttsburg Chamber of

to move the debris. The men should be organ
lied in gangs under competent bosses and be
prepared to stay here ten days Twill furnish
tents, and they can be supplied from the gen.
eral commissary. 1t is my Judgment that all
workmen living here and willing to work
should be paid good wages, and then, to pre-
vent imposition, purchase supplies for them
selves and families from the general commis-
sary at reduced rates. This will prevent idle
ness among the citizens. Captain Jones is here
with l5O men, and has charge of all workmen
from distance. Among other tools, there
should be 100 Wheelbarrows and plenty of one
inch rope. Please advise me-

Clearing Away the Debris.
General Hastings, in response to THE
DISPATCH correspondents question whether
he thought the Chamber of Commerce peo-
pie would readily respond to the call for
men and tools said:
Undoubtedly so. We are fairly or
ganiEed, but not as perfectly as we might
be. Everything is moving along in satls-
factory manner, and by tomorrow night
we will be making very material progress
in clearing away the debris. In 10 DAYS at
least, with the force of men proposed and
expected, our work will have shown great
degree Of push and a probable early end.

SEEDS AND TREES.
How Some Of Them Preserve Their Vitality
for an Unusually Long Period.

for an Unusually Long Period.
It would be rash to .afirm, remarks a
writer in the London EUening STANDARD,
that, under exceptional circumstances, es-
peeially when seeds have been kept from
contact with the air and in dry atmos-
phere, some OF them may not preserve their
vitality for an unusually long period.
Beans have been sprouted 60 years after
they were gathered, and seeds of plants be-
longing to the same leguminous tribe taken
from the herbarium of Tournefort, who
hourished in 1924, grew into fruIting plants
in the Jardin des Plantes in the year 1910.
The seeds of the sensitive plant are known
to have been vital after being kept for 30
years; haricots have germinated after 100
years, and there is an indisputed instance
of a grain of rye sprouting when 140 years
old.
Still more to the point, maize taken from
an apparently undisturbed Inca tomb in
Peru, which could not have been closed
less than three centuries ago, showed
feeble vitality, and fact of very remark
able character, which renders dogmatism
unsafe, was recorded from near Shrewsbury,
about the year 1871. In cutting down q
large elm tree, a quantity OF acorns was
found in a cavity of the trunk, though so
completely inclosed by the growth of
the tree since the squirrel or other animal
had placed them there, that two feet of
wood, showing 120 annual rings, inter-
vened between the acorns and the open air.
Yet several of them germinated. In these
cases the seeds were kept in perfectly air
tight space, and entirely excluded from any
agents likely to stimulate termination, or
cause the decay of the young plant. We
also know, as q familiar fact, that when
forests are swept by fires, the growth which
springs up in the burnt tracts is not the
same as that which disappeared. In North
America pine and spruce are succeeded
first by growth of brambles, which in
time are replaced by dwarf birch, poplar,
and bird cherry. Then scrub oaks and
various hard woods follow these, and pine
rarely re-appesrs except upon land long
mellowed by agriculture, though the sue
parts of the continent
In Caesars day the Hercynian Forest
modern Harzwald-consisted chiefly of
broad leaved trees. But frs and pines now
predominant. In Styria, when certain sec
tions of pine forests are cut down, young
oaks take their places; and in France, after
the telling of timber in the forests of
particular district of that country, brooms,
fox-gloyes, heath, birches, and aspen spring
in place of the oaks, beeches and ashes
hewn down by the woodmen. Then, after

TFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHTsTowE, June 8-Powell Stackhouse,
Vice President of the Cambria Iron Works
after starting gang of men to work to clear
out the debris in the works below the blast fur
mace, said it was hoped to have the lower works
running again in three weeks. The company
desires to afford every encouragement TO its
men.
The trestle from the stone bridge across the
the present channel of the Conemaugh has
been completed, and the work of laying a
temporary track into the town will be resumed
tomorrow. The rope foot bridge which was
completed this evening, was badly damaged
before 9 o'clock tonight. The footway of
boards is tied to the ropes and the large amount
of travel over it displaced number of these.
In the center it Is supported by three skiffs
which add greatly to its stability. Passengers
going over it must keep ten feet apart
1t is a rather precarious structure at best and
as soon as possible will be replaced by solid
bridge. The ferry that was used to transport
passengers yesterday took 5000 people across
the Conemaugh to the stone bridge, and the

pleted was 5000
