Tho Boomerang In War,

The railroad people keep up their heavy
nrs on Andrew Carnegie, whom they
eeem to think very vulnerable to their
attacks. The Rail,cay World comes
Along now with statement Of his rise
and progress to his present station
from the lowly condition of an emigrant's 3
oon, and finds that the favor Of railroad
presidents has started and sustained him
until now, viper like, he turns around to
sting the bosom that cherished him. And
10 fact appears TO be that Andrew Is q
xAilroad creation of the arst water, ana
We admit that ingratitude may bs his
crime.
& But the remarkable thing to note in the
controversy between Carnegie and the
RAILROAD officers, is the fact that there Is
boo much feeling on both sides to lie: their
0,nduct be persuaded by the usual con.
s!derations that govern this class of crea'
tures, who do not incline to kick when
they hurt themselves. The railroad
people are particularly unfortgick.
In charging that Carnegie is tlre
creator OF their excessive favor and
that he owes them gratitude which
ne pays with abuse. II is the admission
OF the high offense against the public
which Is charged against them; and it is
only the blindness Of anger which would
induce them to meet Carnege's charge,
tnas they favor some shippers in their
rates, by statement that they favored
MIN. They are like the gunner who went
out with a heavily charged gun for
piover, which kicked and knocked the
owner over.
IL may afford them much satisfaction
p know that they hurt Carnegie by
moving how he came to his fortune and
now he prospered upon the rail-
Soad practices that he now de-
nounces. But Carnegie has the i'm
mense advantage over them of flying
row on straight course, however,
crooked his fight may heretofore have
psen. 1t may be case of lately de-
veloped honesty In one who no longer has
any temptations to be vicious but il does
not hurt a good cause that its
advocate was once its enemy, but
nther helps 1t. On the pria.
ciple that thief is best set to catch
. thief, the anti.discrimination cause in
fennsylvania may congratulate itself IL
andrew Carnegie, who now advocates II
once ass be- 1t. If he has been in the ring
40 u al the better armed against it. The
rogues having fallen out, honest men have
. good show for their dues. 1t does not

motives and prompted by an evil spirit /;
put the facts that be presents will be as
lorcible as though he were as pure and
patriotic as be claims to be.

A Modern Cresus.

Nobody knows exactly how much
Eckley Brinton Coke is worth. The
family, of which he is now the recog-
nized head, owns many thousands of
acres of coal lands in LuZerne and
Carbon Counties, Pennsylvania. From
these they receive enormous sums in
royalties, the firm Of which the ex-
Senator is the head being one of it's
principal lessees. Despite his enor-
nous wealth, Mr.. Coxe's habits are
simple. At his home in Drifton he
wears the plainest clothing and rides
oftenest on a mountain blackboard. In
the summer time he throws off coat
and vest and gives his suspenders a
long rest, substituting plain leather
belt therefor. He wears colored shirts
with collar attached, but scorns the
use of necktie. Gloves he couldn't
be induced to wear. He climbs to the
top of his highest breakers and descends
to the lowest depths of his numerous
mines, coming out as black and dusky
as any laborer in his employ. All this
is fun for him in his capacity of mining
engineer. When he wants some real,
light amusement, he generally goes to
his library and revels in the poetical
creations of the higher mathematicians.
At the age of nineteen he made trans
lation Of the great German Wiesbach's
mathematics, which is still used as a
textbook in English and American
polytechnical schools. He is gradu
ate of half dozen colleges and uni
versities, and converses fuently in
English, German, French, and Italian

reason they think the loss will be found to be
very great. The water came in wall, preceded
by yellowish cloud of mist or foam, and as 1t
caught the blocks OF houses IL swept them down
together with succession OF crashes that was

Mr. Felt thinks there were less than GOO people
on the high ground with him. The others went
down with the food. He saw hundreds OF them
90 down before his eyes as they stood looking
down upon the wreck No one escaped from

Cloud would have been among the lost had they

As soon as possible the Chicago men began
the work of organizing relief parties TO rescue
the people who were on the houses that had
been swept back into Stony Creek when the
water could not escape below These, people
were wild with fright, and Mr. Felt
secured n clothes-line which was used TO send
out a raft with a strong man to take people OF
the houses. A river man volunteered Tor

-All indications point To the fact that the
death-list will reach over Ave thousand names,
and in my opinion the missing will reach 5000
in number" declared Gen ID. II. Hastings
At present there are said to be 2, 300 recovered
bodies. The greas difficulty experienced in
getting a correct list is the great number OF
morguea. There Is no central bureau Of infor-
nation, and TO communicate with the different
Lighthouses is the work OF hours.
In answer To questions from Gov. Beaver,
Adjt. Gen. Hastings has telegraphed the follow
ing:
aGood order prevailed throughout the city and
vicinity last night. Police arrangements are
excellent. Not one arrest made. No need OF
sending troops.
About O. 900 bodies have been rescued, and the
work OF ombalming and burying ths dead is go
ing on with regularity. There is plenty of medi-
cal assistance. We have bountiful supply OF
food and clothing to-day and the fullest tele-
graphic facilities are afforded, and all inquiries
are promptly answered. The Pennsylvania rail-
road will be completed to Johnstown station
tonight. Have you any instructions or inqui-
IieB?
"The most conservative estimates here place
the loss OF lives a. fully 5000. Tho prevailing
oppression Is that the loss will reach from 500
TO 1000. There are many widows and orphans,
and great many wounded impossible to give
estimate. The property destroyed will reach
S25, 100000. The popular estimate will reach
