The Loss Of Property.

No reliable estimate can at this time be
made of the property loss. 1t is found
that the Cambria Iron company's plant on
the north side of the Conemaugh river at
YOUNGSTOWN is complete wreck. The
plant is said to be valued at $4,000, 600.
Besides the destruction Of the towns
mentioned many points below were great
ly damaged, and the Allegheny and Sus.
quehanna rivers were unusually high,
town.
Indications point to the present trouble
being the worst ever experienced by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. The
present suspension of traffic caused by
the washing away of bridges and viaducts,
heavy landslides, long and deep washoulss
and the falling of masses OF rock from the
mountain sides to the track below. between
Altoona and Johnstown, a distance Of forty
miles. and east of the former citv. is az.
pected to last as long as the snow blockade
OF q year ago.

chances OF success were about equally
poised in the balance, a young man
from Atlanta, as delicate as girl, but
as brave as Napoleon, received terri
BILE wound from a cannon shot, which
laid open his vitals $50 that his heart
was actually seen to pulsate by his
companions, while he was yet talking
and telling them Of the preparation for
the change then at hand and his will
ingness to meet his Master. Soon af-
ter he was shot General Lee came near.
When the wounded man saw him he
expressed desire to shake his hand
and bid him farewell. General Lee
was called and rode up to the wounded
man, who was raised to his feet by two
of his companions, and, holding his en-
trails with his left hand, he extended
the other to the great captain, saying !:
"Good-by, General. I am killed, but
I have been good boy, and am pre-
pared to go. I shall meet you in heav-
en-"
General Lee gave him hearty shake
Of the hand and said: "Good-by, my
boy. l shall try to meet you on the
other side"
This young man was Lewis Morris,
of Company 3D." 44th regiment,
Georgia volunteers, who was known to
his comrades as "Crick" Morris. He
had large kinsfolk in and around At
lanta, among them Councilman Morris,
brother. Probably some of them
never heard of his dramatic, heroic and
triumphant death until now. The
scene presented is not overdrawn. It
was witnessed by many Of the sun
burnt veterans of Jackson's old corps,
few Of whom. are yet living to testify
to the fact that all who saw it, includ-
ing General Lee himself, shed tears.
"Crick" Morris died few minutes
after General Lee rode off, and, like
thousands Of noble men, is sleeping qui-
city to-day in an unknown grave.

Our detail Of men went out to the Eto-
wah river, found some hogs, and divid-
| ed them up. We came to brick house,
where we found middle-aged woman
and what 1 took to be her daughter
Here we found two very fat COWS that
we wanted, but they demanded so
much for them that we compromised
the matter by dividing with them
leaving one of them. Some of the boys
in chasing the COW ran her near where
I stood, and I fastened on to her horns
and was holding on for dear life, while
one of the boys was coming with rope
he had fshed out somewhere. He had
just come up and got the rope around
her neck, and, before I had let go, I
found myself jerked fiat on my back
and pair Of devilish, saucy eyes glar-
ing down at me. Then shout went
up from the boys that had by this time
come up, and 1 was told by the Ser
geant that had better fix my bayonet
and take the girl back to the house.
Eyes, }" she says, "and you had better
hurry, too, as you see we have friends
across the river, and hope they will
get you all" Sure enough, just across
the river there was squad Of cavalry
trying to cross. We started the COW in
hurry, and after lively skirmish
with the Confederates got back to
camp all o. K, pork, COW and all.
But I have not heard the last of that
trip to this day. It was the only time
in my three years at the front I was
ever downed by reb, and that girl.

so much victory that never came to
pass, and avoided so many defeats by
reversing the theory of Hudibras, that
military honor is to be won, like
widow, with brisk attempt, mot slow
approaches, like virgin It seemed
to them that while their Eastern
brothers McClellanism, as they de-
nominated it, included certain technical
virtues that We're undoubtedly worth
having, it also tended to confuse and
hamper him in the presence Of circum-
stances to which they were always SUI
perior. He excelled them in drill, they
frankly acknowledged; he wore his
uniform as if he had never worn any
thing else, and in all his actions there
was distinct and self-conscious
air of martial propriety. It was not
true, as was grotesquely asserted, that
he wore corset, used cosmetics, and
slept with gloves on. But it was true
that he was remarkably fastidious, and
attached much Importance to his ward
robe. The deprivations of the siege
of Chattanooga would probably not
have vanquished him had he been
there to bear them, but his endurance
would have lacked the capital cheer
fulness which was displayed in that
extremity of hunger and raggedness.
Perhaps he would have joined in the
search for undigested kernels of grain
which had already served as food for
horses and mules, but it would have
been with a countenance bereaved of
the power to smile; and certainly he
could not have surveyed himself in
patches and tatters and found it posi-
BILE to exclaim, as did Western SOL
der under those conditions: ooh, no,
I amt sufferin' for clothes, but my
hearts breakin' for diamond breast

home life had not qualified him for sac

deserter; bat, ali round, YOU

staZ with him til! We get back"
The sklrmish line passed on, and it
was about an hour before I saw it
again. In the meantime my guard,
solemn-faced, silent man in an old but
ternut suit, sat down on the ground
with his musket across his knees, and
Tor some minutes stared me in the
lace. His reflections at last found
vent in this wise:
"Yank, don't you wish you was
home?"
"Indeed I do" was my prompt and
hearty reply.
@I'l be d-dif 1 don't, too. Fact,
l wish both of us was. Hand us that
bag"
That bag" was my haversack, con-
tanning at least one days rations of
bareback and bacon. I passed it over
to him, and his homely face lighted up
loyfully when he discovered the con
tents. Then and there he devoured the
whole, never asking me to partake. I
was not hungry, and as he certainly
was, the discourtesy was overlooked.
Perhaps there was nothing else for me
to do but to overlook it.

federate soldiers later in the day and
carried back more than mile. 4 doc

next day 1 entered Richmond; but not

newspapers were predicting we were
about to enter that capital. I did moi

The President Urged to Act.

The Masonic fraternity at Pittsburg has
turned its attention to the probable sani-
tary condition resultant upon the calamity.
A committee was appointed to ask the
United States to take action at once. The
committee telegraphed President Harrison
asking him to send out sanitary commits
sion Immediately and warming him that
unless prompt action was taken to remove
the dead bodies and animals from the
streams in which the committee saw them,
the water would be polluted and carry the
plague germs to the people. This would
effect the country from Pittsburg to New
Orleans. Like messages were sent to the
Pennsylvania senator's.

Was this Horror Avoidab,e?

The calamity was as singular as it was
fatal. Il is now evident that more lives
were lost because of foolish incredulity
than from ignorance of danger. For more
than year there have been fears Of an
accident of this character. The founda-
tions of the dam were considere shaky
early last spring, and many increasing
leakages were reported from time to time.
According to the people who live in Johns.
town and other towns on the line of the
river, ample warnings were given to Johns
town folks and in hundreds of cases the
warning was utterly disregarded. There
has grown up bitter feeling among the
surviving sufferers against those who
owned the lake and dam, and damage suits
will be plentiful.
