THE PAL REVERE OF SOUTH FORK

neck Speed to Warn the People.
From the Net0 York Sun.
SOUTH FORK, June 6.-It was John G.
Parke who first saw the danger that threat
eled the entire Conemaugh valley by the
bursting of tue dam, and took all possible
precautions to prevent a catastrophe. Early
on Friday morning MIR. Parke, who is a
young Philadelphian and an excellent civil
engineer, discovered that the fast Increasing
waters of the lake would either have to
have an additional outlet Immediately or
that the dam proper would give way.
Hastily securing a force of thirty ltal-
ians, he set to work to prepare another
sluice. In half an hour his purpose had
been accomplished, but still the water con-
tinued to rise. Up and up it came, at the
rate of six, seven. eight, and ten inches an
hour. Something had to be done, and that
quickly, too Giving orders to his men to
cut another outlet, Mr.. Parke jumped on
his horse and started at a breakneck speed
toward the village below. AS he rode he
warned the people on every hand of their
danger. Soon hundreds of families were
fleeing to the hills for safety. Reaching
South Fork station, he telegraphed the
warning to Johnstown. Two men there
started out on horseback through the city
crying: 1.-The dam, the dam Is about to
burst; fee for your lives!"
Some needed the warning others LAUGHED
at it and said that they had heard it before.
Tonight they either lie amid the still
smoking ruins il the waters of the Cone
maugh or IN the crudely constructed coffins
and rough boxes to be found on every hand.
Mr.. Parke said to-day:
mo blame can be attached to any one
for this greatest of horrors. 1t was a
calamity that could not be avoided. For
several days prior to the breaking of the
dam, storm after storm swept DER the
mountains and oveEfiowed every creek and
rivulet. The waters from these varied
sources gradually flowed into the lake, and
the dam was not able to stand the pressure
forced upoa it. On Friday morning real
zed the danger that was threatened, and al
though from that tine until 5 O'Clock every
humaa effort was made to prevent a food,
they were of no avail. When | at last
found that the dam was bound to go, I
started out to tell the people, and by IL
o'clock everybody 10 the Conemaugh region
did know or should have known of their
danger. Three hours later my GrGvest
fears were more than realized. 1t IS an
erroneous idea, however, that the dam
| burst. 1t simply moved away The water
gradually eat into the embankment until
there was nothing lett but a frail bulwark
of wood. This finally split asunder and
sent the waters hurting down the noun

Contagious Blood Poison


Is the constitutional blood disease which
has for several centuries past been iafes5ing
mauRind with its annoying features and
destructive results, and is now the great
bane of the human race. Tais is the worst
OF all blood contagion, as the horrible poison
is transmitted from one generation TO the
next, and even the third and fourth. We
do not honestly believe that the terrible
scourge has ever been cured and thoroughly
eradicated from the human body by any
other remedy than Swift's Specific, and we
further say that Swifas Specific has never
been known to fail to make a permanent
cure in any case VIII IN it has been taken

so impaired as to re lder cure impossible.

MORGANS IN ILLINOIS,

INTERESTING LETTER FROM MR.. BLACK,
ELGIN, Jan. S, 1889.
Editor Register Il will take the risk
of twice-told tale by sending for your
Register more Morgan horses from this
part of the State, for am persuaded you
OF merit many times than that one such
should be omitted. In former letter to
the REGISTER, April, 1886, the following
horses were not included, though they
should have been at that time. refer to
Sir William Turner and Mr.. n. 5. Colby's
two stations, Colby's Young Green
Mountain, and Colby's Young Morrill,.
About two years ago saw the breed
ing of Sir William Turner and concluded
at once that he was the most Morgan
horse of our time, or fraud. NY ques-
tioning brought the following letter from
Mr.. Colby, who now resides at West Nc
Henry, McHenry Co., Illinois. He
writes; "Sir William Turner was foaled
in the spring of 1853 in Stockbridge, VT. !;
was bred by Benjamin Jones, who
brought him West, near Libertyvlle in
Lake Co., this State, and sold by him to
o. Turner of Seneca township, McHenry
Co., by whom he was broken and owned
at the time of his death, which occurred
Sept. 10, 1874. Sir William was dark
chestnut, almost black, with no white
marks; stood IA hands and weighed
about 900 lbs; was very stylish, perhaps
no horse could outstyle him; he was new
er trained, but had considerable natural
speed. Once on the Playground track at
Woodstock, before heavy cart, he was
driven two miles and timed the last mile
in :55; though this was no measure of
his speed. Some of his colts were fast
when young, but they were soon bought
up and taken to Chicago, where | lost
sight of them. They all were fine road
sters and did good service wherever used.
This is his breeding: Benjamin Jones
bred one of his fathers mares, by Clifford
Morgan, to Hale's Green Mountain Nor

DAM OE MONEY MAKER.
OTTAWA. May =

OTTAWA, May 20, 1887.
Editor Register Yours of the 10th at
hand. In reference to your question
about the dam of Money Maker would
say that | cannot give you the name of
the breeder. She was owned by Mr..
Cove of Aultsville, Canada, from whom
got the horse. He got her of some
person in Massena, n. Y. When l came
to trace the mare | found that the man
of whom Cove purchased her was dead.
Old horsemen of that vicinity said the
mare was supposed to be by Lawyer
Messenger. Enclosed is the pedigree of
Money Maker as | have it; any doubt
there may be is on the dams side; on
the sire's side it is all right. If you know
anything as to the breeding will you
kindly let me know.
Yours truly,

[Cor. Dunton's Spirit OF the Turf.

[Cor Dunton's Spirit of the Turf.J
The interest your valuable paper has
taken for some time past relative to the
Morgan horse has been appreciated by
your New England readers, and by all
who love the Morgan horse and appreci-
ate the efforts made in their behalf. The
American Cultivator, the leading agri-
cultural paper of New England, comes
out in its issue of Dec. 10 with a splendid
cut of Vermont Black Hawk, with des-
cription and history to be given in a flu
ture issue. While much of the space in
their columns on horse notes has been
given to items and facts pertaining to the
Morgan horse, the cuts of many of the
old Morgans that have appeared in the
frontispiece of the Spirit are recalled by
many of the old farmers who remember
having seen or heard descriptions of them
and their appearance on June training
days, while the cuts of Hale's Green
Mountain Morgan, Clifford Morgan and
Woodbury. Morgan are interesting to the
breeders of the Morgan horse of today.
The cut of Abraham, by Daniel Lambert,
that appears in your issue of Dec. 6, is of
more than passing interest, as he is still
alive and doing service at Fairvale Stock
Farm at Montpelier, VT, and his daugh-
tiers are eagerly sought after and have
proved valuable broodmares and COM
mand large prices. Abraham was re-
markably speedy colt and showed every
promise of being one of the fastest sons
of Lambert, but an accident befell him
and so ended all the expectations to this
end. saw him few years ago and al
though crippled he could outstyle any
horse on the grounds. He has eight in
the 2 80 list, including the PAGER Bright

His second dam was also by Clifford Nor
gan and the third dam by Sherman Nor
gan. His first dam was bay and weighed
about 1l50 lbs. The pedigree of this
been disputed. Mr.. Jones, his breeder,
was man of the greatest integrity and
his statements are true and perfectly re-
liable. There is no doubt but this horse
was one of the richest-bred Morgans of
his day, or any other day or time. and his
stock proves most excellent. | have
written thus plain, giving the facts, and
you may state this with the fullest assur-
ance, for it is correct"
In subsequent letter he writes that
although this horse was so closely inbred
as to seem incestuous, there was never
the least sign of weakness in him, or his
progeny; but was always very active and
with proper handling would have proved
fast horse for his time. His diminutive
size kept many from using him, but those
who did found they had an animal that
was all horse and equal to any task i'm
posed upon him.
His best entire son was without doubt
Mr.. Colby's Young Green Mountain, and
to my mind he is the best pattern have
seen of the old-style Morgan since made
my home in the West, and with his breed
ing he has a right to his good looks. His
dam was by Colby's Young Morrill,, by
Old Morrill, by the Jennison Horse. She
stood 154 hands and weighed 1150
lbs, could trot in three minutes and was
one of the best of road mares. She lived
to be u years old and remained perfectly
sound. His second dam was chestnut.
nearly 16 hands, S. t. b. half bred
Eclipse mare, that could both run and
trot fast. She left this part of the coun-
try when % years old without blemish
Young Green Mountain was foaled May
u, 1872; bred by N. S. Colby, West Nc
Henry, McHenry Co., Illinois. He is a
dark mahogany bay with small star and
two white ankles behind, stands 151
hands and weighs 1000 lbs. He is an ex
cellent breeder and his colts are quite nu
merous, always bringing good prices fol
their style and fine road qualities.
Colby's Young Morrill, was raised
in Danville, VT; was son OF
Old Morrill, by the Jennison Horse
by Young Bulrush, by Bulrush, by
Justin Morgan. His dam was by
Hae's Green Mountain Morgan; SECOND
dam by Justin Morgan; he was foaleG
July 8, 1851, and died Oct. II, 1879. Il
has been said his resemblance to Perkin'.
Young Morrill, was very marked; botf
were brown and stood about 16 hands
high. Mr.. Colby says his horse could
trot in 2 40 any day, and horsemen say
he could have been put in the 2 80 list
Mr.. Colby never would trot his horses fol
money, so we cannot speak of theil
speed by the records, yet all who have
seen Young Morrill, agree that he was q
very speedy horse. His dam was bay
about l5-2, and died at % years of age
His I'd dam was always driven by DR.
Morse of Danvlle, and foaled the dam Of
Colby's Morrill, when about IS years old
She was by Justin Morgan. Mr.. Colby
claims the pedigree of this horse will beal
the closest investigation and there is no
a weak place on either side.
