Santa Fe will handle its own parties, in
stead of through the medium of Messrs.

ments for travel will be put on the road
and an endeavor made to make the route
more popular than ever. The departure
of the Messrs. Warner and Phillips from
the business will mark an era in the
company's history, aa the two firms
named have, during their connection
with excursion travel, made wonderful
record and brought out many thousands
of people to thu Pacific Coast. One of
the last parties that Messrs. Warner
brought in arrived on Tuesday night.

A SMALL CASE,
Which Brought a Whole school to
the City.

Which Brought a Whole school to
the City.
The good people of Savanna, in Los
Angeles county, are said to be divided
into factions on the subject of the prin-
cipal of their school, Nelson Carr. Some
of them think he is an excellent and
efficient teacher, and others entertain
quite the opposite opinion. Some of the
latter class have put themselves, at dif-
ferent times, to the trouble of letting
him know what they think of him. One
of these was Mrs. Jennie Cox, who had
child in his school.
When the difficulties of his situation
became too complicated for Mr.. Carr, he
came in to talk it over with the District
Attorney, to see if anything could be
done for his relief. He told what Mrs.
Cox had said about him, and the Dis
trict Attorney promptly ordered one OF
his many deputies to draw up COM
plant charging her with disturbing the
peace. Mr.. Carr never studied law and
did not know whether there was salts
factory case against the lady or not. He
of the District Attorney.
Yesterday the case came on for trial
before Justice Savage. A holiday was
granted to the schools in Savanna, and
the teachers, children and number oi
the leading citizens came down to take
in the affair, many of them to serve as
witnesses on one side or the other. The
front row of the spectators chairs in the
courtroom was filed with pretty girls, all
looking on with breathless eagerness tc
see what sort Of vengeance was to be
granted the teacher for the insults he
had received.
Mr.. Carr was first placed upon the
stand. According to his testimony Mrs
Cox came into his schoolroom, and, at.
ter having some conversation with him
informed him that he was nogentleman.
"Well, what then ?" inquired the Dis
trict Attorney.
"That is all. Then she went out"
"What! Do you mean to say that was
all she did ?" said the District Attorney
in a dramatic tone of voice.
"That was ALL" answered the teacher
meekly.
"Tben, may it please the court,
move to instantly dismiss the case
against the defendant"
The motion was granted.
"And will take OCCASION" continued
the District Attorney, with virtuous in
dignation, ''to warn the complaining
witness that the next time he brings
case into court and invokes the assist
ance of the law, he had better be pre-
pared to prove that an ofense has beel
committed"
The unfortunate Carr, who had, &C
cording to his own account, no intention
of swearing out complaint until it wa
suggested in the District Attorney
office, left the courtroom feeling that j
had been the victim Of misplaced conf
| fidence.

that this morning an application will be
made for his discharge, and that bond
will be filed. The bond has on it the
names M. L. Wicks, I. r. Dunkelperger

great apparently, as there would seem
room enough under the bridge for the
volume of the largest river, but too great
for the extraordinary flood on this occa-
sion. Turning to the left, up Conemaugh
creek, the valley narrows very rapidly;
the high, rocky and abrupt hills close in
on the stream till they leave mere
gorge, and wherever there is level land
in the bottom of this gorge there is a
town. In many places, too, the hills can
not be scaled. Thus the unfortunates
were imprisoned, as it were, in the bottom
Of narrow trough, down which was
So idenly poured a watery volume equal
to that of the Ohio river.
At Johnstown the valley widens like a
half opened fan. Just above the city the
gap is quite narrow Thus the water
was literally shot into the place as if
from a nozzle with an immense ''head"
behind it, for the slope of the creek
channel is so steep that the stream is a
torrent evel at low water. The borough
proper of Johnstown lay in the fork cast
of Stony creek and south of Conemaugh
creek, HI its affiliated boroughs lay on
the other side of the latter, and they had
not been Incorporated because the COM
pany owned most of the villages and
only a small part of Johnstown, and
therefore objected to consolidation.
There was not a very wealthy family in
either place. The inhabitants of the
valley were employees of the Cambria
Iron and Steel company, their families
and only such professional people and
traders as were necessary to the common
life of such a community. \ very large
proportion were Catholics, but there
were fine churches of several other de
nominations.
Following up the gorge of Conemaugh
creek, one would have found a house
here and there, and a village of 200 peo-
pie seven miles up, called Mineral Point
on the first available level. Three
miles farther up was South Fork "a
stream came in there from the SOUTH
with 1 400 people. On the other side of
the creek and near Johnstown was Cone
maugh, and stretching from one to the
other was a tenement district, known as
Woodvale. The works of the company
were scattered between the two large
towns; the cost of the plant was esti-
mated at 100000 and they employed
5000 persons in all capacities. Floods
had occasionally swept through the
lower sections of these towns, and since
the refuse of the works had choked the
bed of the stream the overhows had been
moro frequent. Following up the gorge
of Conemaugh creek and frequently
crossing the stream runs the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, but it leaves the creek
several miles below the reservoir. All
the country has a rapid slope towards
the creek and all around the reservoir is
an upland basin; all the water falling on
five or six hundred square miles would
flow with torrent-like rapidity into creek
or reservoir, and the latter stood 800 feet
higher than Johnstown. 1t was deaths
own magazine.
Milford chronicle., 1889-06-07

The Sanitary News calls attention to the
fact that postage stamp may in various
ways convey contagion. One of the simplest
and most plausible is that n which a postage
stamp, partially attached to a letter to pay
return postage, is sent by a person infected
with some disease to another person. The
disease is transferred in the first place to the
adhesive stamp through the saliva, and in
being attached to the letter by the receiver
the poison may be transmitted to him in turn
through the saliva Another cause may be
the infection of the stamp with disease
germs The stamp having been exposed in
a room where a diseased person lies, may be
come slightly moistenei and thus retain the
germ. That this is true can be proved very
simply by a microscopical examination We
often see a person holding change for a mo
ment in the mouth. probably not knowing
that investigation has shown that disease
germs can be carried by money. II one could
see through what hands the money has passed
they would hesitate before using such a third
hand Silver money is as bad as paper money,
but while many would hesitate to holda dirty
bank note in their mouth, they think that a
silver piece, because bright, is apparently
clean

row valley. There was an afternoon and
night of horror, and when the waters
assuaged all that remained was a few
wrecked buildings, an awful expanse of
destruction and miles on miles Of mud
covered flats on which lay mangled
corpses by the thousand. Yes, literally,
by the thousand. No language can de-
scribe such a scene. No other calamity
of anything like such proportions has
ever occurred in North America. Its
only parallels on the western continent
are found in the destruction Of Lima by
earthquake, and perhaps a few similar
distinctions in Central America.
It is painful to learn that this was a ca
lamity that might have been prevented.
twas known that the great reservoir was
a menace to the city and towns in the
narrow valley, and it was suspected that
the dam was not strong enough for all
emergencies. Frequent warnings had
been given, but "what is everybody's
business is nobody's business the city
was not incorporated and no one thought
it obligatory on him to move in the mat
ter, and so the destruction came. Only
a few hours before the dam gave way
the warning was sounded; but familiar
ity destroyed fear, and people smiled at
the idea of danger-hundreds smiled
who were soon to be cold in death.
Against the earthquake, the cyclone and
the tidal wave man can take few precau-
tons or none; but it is shocking to think
that this Johnstown calamity might have
been averted.
To understand how the destruction
was so complete, one must get a COM
plete view of the topography. In the
southwest part of Cambria county. Penn
sylvania, Stony creek and Conemaugh
creek unite to form the Conemaugh river
Stony creek flowing nearly due north
and the other a little south Of west. AT
their junction the valley is broad enough
to allow a considerable flood to escape
provided it had free course; but the i'm
mense stone bridge of the Pennsylvania
railroad, with the embankments leading
to it, forms an obstruction, not very
