A dispatch from Johnstown saws:
1t was with regret that Johnstown people
saw Treasurer Thompson leave this morn
ing. The regret was caused by the an
nouncement that he would not be here again
until the latter part of next week, owing to
pressing business engagements at home. BE
has lett an efficient man in his place, how
ever, but Johnstowners have learned to look
to him with more confidence than any other
person in authority, and they would be glad
to see him stay.
work would be pushed right along, and if it
kept up at the same pace as it has been dur
ing the past three days the $500, 900 appro-
priated will all be in the hands Of the peo-
pie by the end of the week. Considerable
trouble was experienced to-day with
the account of some railroaders who were
washed out They had sworn to their claims
and Mr.. j. K. Russell, road foreman of en-
gines on the Pennsylvania Railroad, pre-
sented them for payment. In the meantime
several of the men had lifted their own
money, and there was considerable trouble
to get things adjusted.
Notwithstanding the delay caused by
these matters, S37, 300 was paid out during
the day. Secretary Kremer was busy in
other parts of the town, and only spent a
short time in the Office here. He says be is

State, and consequently is very hard
worked. This was payday with the Cam
bria Iron Works, as well as among the
workmen for Mr.. Hughes and Contractor
Mclean, and there is now plenty of money
in circulation. The merchants are reapiEg the
benefit of the free distribution of money that
is going on and they are beginning to look
much more cheerful. Mr.. G. w. Moss, one
of the leading grocers in the town, saws he
did Iully as much business in July as he
ordinarily did in two months, and so it is in
all lines of trade.
The districts paid off were South Fork,
Mineral Point, Conemaugh and Woodvale.
where there are no stores of any account,
and the money was largely expended in lay
ing in needed supplies. The statement
spread abroad that the people everywhere
had abused their opportunities in getting a
large supply of clothing from commission
ers, was refuted clearly by the action of
these people to-day.
Nearly every one after getting their
money visited a clothing store and laid in a
supply of wearing apparel, and the clothiers
all did rushing business from morning till
night.
The grumblers have been silenced some
what by the smooth manner in which things
are going the past few days, the question
causing the most discussing now being as to
the action of the local Finance Committee,
which holds daily sessions with closed doors.
There are few people who have not yet re-
ceived their checks for the $10-a-head dis
tribution, although they were mailed three
weeks ago. Where thoy have been lost is a

FIRE AT EVANSVILLE
Hoes $4,000 Worth of Damage and Fatally
Burns n Man.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE o1spArcH.i
GAINESVILLE, August Sat 8 o'clock
this evening the fire department was called
to C. Stolzesbacks & Sons bakery and
cracker factory, the largest institution of
the kind in the city. For time it was
thought that the whole block, which is the
most important in the city, containing
the Court House, Jail, postofice and
important stores, would be consumed
and the contents were partially removed
from the postofice. The fire was, however,
confined to two buildings. 1t originated in
three-story building filled with ovens and
machinery and spread rapidly to a new
four-story building which had just been
completed and filled with new machinery
and had been running but a week. The loss
will be about $50. 900 with Sic, 900 insurance.
Michael Schlofman, an employe, was
fatally burned about the back and breast.
He was in the new building when the fire
broke out. and rushed into the old building.
He encountered locked door, and the fire
had cut of retreat.

ESPECIAL rELIGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH1
ERIE. Pa, August 3.-The United States
Government is making some experiments
here with dredging machinery, which are
being watched with more than ordinary in
terest The engineer in charge of this port
is furnished with sand pump
for dredging purposes and it is known
as sand sucker and is stationed upon
the deck of a leased steamer, the Transfer.
This has always been hobby of Major F.
A. Mahan, the superintendent Of this dis
trict. He has advocated for some time the
theory that it was more expeditions and
more economical to pump the sand than to
dredge it BY. the old process.
Before securing all the machinery
necessary for such work the officials in
charge fitted up the leased boat for a
test of the Majors plans. The tests thus far
have beeen pronounced quite satisfactory.
The dredge has raised 75 cubic yards of
sand an hour, an amount which is lust
about half of the capacity of the machinery.

would all have perished had not some man,
while returning from work, noticed the
flames from the house, which was on fire.

Vertigo Caused by Nicotine.

NJ. Decaisne has laid before the
French Academy of Medicine the re-
suits of various Investigations relating
to the vertigo peculiar to smokers.
From this it appears that the numer-
Gus experiments made in this line have
proved that nicotine contracts the
muscular coat of the vessels, and that
vertigo is due to the exaggerated con-
traction of the arteries OF the brain
the patient experiences feeling OF
emptiness in the head, so much so that
he seems as If about to faint every
thing turning around and his ideas be-
coming confused. M. Decaisne has
further ascertained that these phe-
nomena are chiefly found in smokers
above fifty years of age, and especial
ly in those habitually accustomed to
smoking before meals; he has also
known several of these persons to be
treated for cerebral congestion, and
even for disease of the heart. with the
result, as might be supposed, of in
creasing the symptoms, the proper
treatment consisting in absolute alb
stention from the weed, and some
slight laxative with bitters. IN. 7.

NOTES ON FERTlLIZING.
How to Increase the Amount of Vegetable
Matter in the Soil.

How to Increase the Amount of Vegetable
Matter in the Soil.
The amount of vegetable matter in
the soil may be increased by various
methods; one is, by large applications
Of barn-yard manure, say 80 cords to
the acre. But this would be very ex-
pensive, and is out of the question in
common farming. 1t may be done by
putting ON peat or muck, when these
are near to the fields. But this in
wolves a considerable outlay for labor
in digging the peat, and still larger
expense in carting it, whether it first
pass through the yards and stables, be
carried to the fields for composing or
spreading upon the surface to be
plowed in. On some farms this may
be the cheaper method of supplying
vegetable matter to the soil.
But on others the most economical
method is the raising of clover, to be
fed of upon the land or to turn in. If
ton of clover may be worth 80 as a
fertilizer. the growing of the plant is
cheap method of improving the land.
Two tons for the first crop and ton
for the second crop is not an uncom-
mon yield for land in good heart The
roots of clover also add largely to the
vegetable matter in the soil. The
first crop may be pastured, waiting
until the crop is in blossom, and then
turning in cattle enough to feed it of
in three or four weeks. They should
be kept constantly upon the field, that
the whole crop may be returned to the
soil. This will Of course help the sec
ond crop, which may be turned in
with the pillow soon after it is in BIOS
som.
II the equivalent Of three tons Of
dried clover hay and one ton of roots
have been grown to the acre, about
$50 worth of manure has been added
to the soil. and it has been distributed
more evenly than would have been
possible by any mechanical process.
There has been no expense for carting
and spreading peat, or for composing.
On the contrary there has been the
equivalent of two tons Of clover hay
consumed upon the field. worth, as
fodder, S2i. This vii! more than pay
the cost of seed, Of blowing twice and
other labor. This is generally ad-
mitted to be the cheapest method OF
increasing the vegetable matter and
the fertility of soils in common farm

AN excellent gargle for sore throat
is one-half ounce of powdered alum.
one ounce of sage, one pint of boiling

When trimming grape vines let
them be cut and trained SO as to admit
of the air and sunshine. Too much
shade is sometimes the cause OF rot, as
it invites moisture. Trim the vines
while the weather is cold.
Brown flashed Potatoes. Pare a
dozen potatoes and chop fine. Season
with salt and pepper and place in small
earthern dishes; cover with milk and
add small bits of butter to each; bake
in moderate oven one-half hour.
There is positively no garden
vegetable to which the commercial
phosphate of lime can be more profit
ably applied than to cabbage. Even
late in the season phosphate, diluted
with water, may be beneficially used.

Cheese Relish. Slice into very
thin pieces about quarter of pound
of fresh cheese. Let this stand on the
stove for a very few minutes after
adding butter, about the size of half
an egg, and a little pepper and salt.
Then sprinkle cracker-dust until the
desired consistency is reached.
1T is a disagreeable fact that the
soil which, in respect of moisture. is
best for the rawberry is also best for
the grass and weeds which are so un.
desirable in our. strawberry BEDS On
such soils 1t seems that to avoid the cost
of much hand wedding we must either
grow them in hills, or else, If other
wise, must limit ourselves to q single
crop from each planting.
Seeds that terminate slowly, such
as carrot, parsnip and beet. are some.
times killed by grass, owing to the
rows becoming lost. To avoid this
SOW radish seed lightly in the rows.
As the radish soon shows above
ground the row is defined, and the
grass can be kept down with the hoe.
BY the time the radishes are pulled
out for use the seeds of the late-ger.
minating plants will be up, and the
rows can be then kept clean.

five points: First-Christians should
not play cards for amusement, because
it is a waste of time. SecOnd-They
should not play cards because it dissi-
pates the mind. Third They should
not play cards because the example to
others is one that is injurious Fourth
They should not play cards because
it leads to gambling. Fifth-They
should not play cards because whist,
the Christian game, as generally
played to-day, is gambling.
