CONEMAUGH RELIEF WORK.
a General Statement OF Some o. the
Expenditures.


JoHNsTowN, Pa, July eos. s. Marvin
and Secretary J. B. Kremsr. of the food
relief commission, were in town to-day
They visited the commissary and other
headquarters and expressed themselves as
pleased with what they saw. Mr.. Kremer
| sad that over $4,000 has already been
! expended IN johnston u, not including
| |7OOOuU now being paid out. He did
not give figures to show clearly
Where this money had gone but said it
exceeded $4,000. One hundred homes had
oeen bought or contracted for, costing Sl60
| each, 100 costing $207 each and 200 two
story homes, to be- built by Contractor
hughes at $500 each In addition, 52 busi-
ness stands had been built at a cost of
1925 each.
THE TOTAL.
This would make total Of 500. $50. In
addition, some money was spent for
collins, lumber and the like. Over three
iourthS OF the money tARt comes into the
hands Of Gov. Beaver direct was for the
Hsrors III the Conemaugh valley, the bal
anoe being for the food sufferers OF Penn

Was likely that the WilliamspOrt region
would get nnother appropriation, as 1t
seen ed that they had not received their
share. When asked why a clear statement of
the moneys received and expended was not
made he said there was difficulty in deter
mining as to what fund certain items
should be charged, such FOR instaGcs as the
burial Of the dead. 1t was n question, he
said, whether the state had right to pay
f'r that, and until the questions were de-
termlned it was not proper to make
statement. Judge Cummlns only spent
short time here to-day, he being some
what indisposed. and Treasurer Thompson
assisted him IN his work. This was the
biggest days work yet. Twenty thousand

Two new grange halls have been dedicat-
ed in Cumberland county the past month-
events which show the progress and perma-
nent strength of the order of Patrons of
Husbandry to a greater degree, possibly,
than anything else. For do not put
earnest and mean business. And what true
light and high influence for the good of
home and country and brother man will go
out from live grange hall, only those know
who have seen the transformation for the
better made in hundreds of farm neghbor
hoods throughout the State, by grange halls
and the harmonious workings of farmers and
their wives who there assemble.
The two new halls referred TO are located
at Cape Elizabeth and Duck Pond West
brook. The latter was dedicated on October
Both. the services having been conducted by
the Worthy State Master Hon Fred'k Robie
and they performed in a manner that
left nothing to be desired. The different
officers of Westhrook Grange performed
their parts admirably aud the whole service
was rendered in beautiful and impressive
manner. At its close Brother Robbie made
a capital speech, congrstulatng Westbrook
Grange upon their success together with
words of cheer and good counsel to the Patrons
pre- sent Brother Corthell was then called
upon who responded with a most eloquent ad-
dress, taking for his subject The advantage
of owning a home and the influence flowing
from it, All who have had the pleasure of
listening to Brother Corthell can form some
idea how Interesting such subject would be
in his hands. At the close the hearty roun' of
applause showed how much pleasure the large
audience present had derived from it. Bro
s. b. Gunnison, the Lecturer of the Grange
next gave short address which completed
tn exercises of the forenoon.
This new building is 81 # by 30 it., two
stories in height; the upper being finished
with large and beautiful hall in which to
hold their meetings, with good sized and
com 'ottasle ante rooms. cloak rooms. etc,
alj9ining and all excellently finished ard
furnished for the purpose intended. The
lower story is used a. dining room, com
fortsbly seating $50, together with lsrge
and commodious cook room, finished with
go king range. closets, etc. The building
in every respect IS one of the finest anil best
furn shed grange balls in the State.
The Railroad Commissioners have been

had very little time for vacations this
season for it seems as if their duties hal in
creased one hundred per cent over five

Just as the tr)tting season is closing and
at a time when every body was expecting tina,
no more honors sere awaiting any horse on
any American track this year. the great
three year old trottng lilly Sunol, owned by
ex Gov Stanford of California, made the
very extraordinary record Of 2 l0t for mile,
on Saturday, Nov. .. This great feat pro-
duced a profound sensation among trotting
breeders all over the country, and its most
remarkable result was the immediate pur-
chase Of Sunol by Mr.. Robert Bonner of
New York. The price pad is said to be
the largest ever paid for FLY
or mare in this country, and al
though il has never been named is under
stood to be much more than the $40 900 paid
for Maud :. BY the terms Of the sale Gov.
Stanford is to keep Sunol for year. She
will winter at Nspa, Cal, and i'll trot in the
spring; when" says Gov. Stanford, land
mark my words she will go a mile in 2.04."
The New FORK Tribune reporter gives the
results of an interview had with Mr. Bonner
on Monday, which all interested in racing
and the trotting problem will much enjoy
reading. Mr. Bonner said
81 am not prepared to say precisely what
sum | have paid for the privilege of owning
Suuol, but this much can tell you the
amount is considerably larger than | ever
previously paid for any trotter-not except
ing Maud S.-for whom you are probably
aware gave $40 900, which was then the
highest price on record. Sunol is by Flee
tioneer, her dam being by General Brenton
and her granddam by Lexington. Jay-Eye-
Sees granddsm also was by Lexington. while
Maud s. is directly descended from Boston,
the sire of Lexington.
High as Sunols price is, am convinced
that she will more than repay the outlay.
1t is, perhaps, needless for me to say that
her two and three-ye ar-old records are IN
parslleIed and likely to remain so. but be-
yond this | am convinced that allowing for
the ordinary natural improvement in speed
with age and training and all we'll, Sunol
will live to beat anything yet accomplished
in trotting. | expect to see Maud S. lower
her own record of POS 3-4, and | am pretty
confident that Sunol will beat Maud S. To
form clear idea of her merits one must
remember that while Eye See and Maud
s. were respectively six and eleven years
old when they made their 2 10 and POS ST.
records, Sunol is only three years old with
