residence on Coal street, Conemaugh bor-
ough at 5;30 o'clock Sunday morning
in the Fifty second year of his age. He
was born at Galhausen, Hesse Darmstadt,
Germany, on February %, 1888, and emf
grated in company of his father and
brother Jacob to this country in 1S4S, his
mother dying on board the steamer dur
ing the passage over. He learned the
trade of cabinet maker and he
and his brother Jacob engaged
at that business for many years,
He was twice married, his wife being
Christina DUNN, who bore him seven
children, all of whom are dead except his
son Charles, who resides on Prospect.
His second wife was Mrs. Lena Brown,
of Conemaugh borough, by whom he is
survived. Mr.. Bloch was victim of the
late flood, barely escaping with his life
and had resided on Railroad street for
number of years before that event, wLere
he kept a grocery store for the past two
years. Mr.. Bloch was prudent, thought
full man and good ne'ghbor, and will be
greatly missed by those who knew him
best. Burial services will be held at his
late residence ON Coal street tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock, after which his re-
mains will be inferred in Sandyvale.

KNIGHTS OF ST. GEORGE.
Installation of Company n at st. Joseph's
German Catholic Church-Parade


German Catholic Church-Parade.
Sunday morning the weather did not
look favorable, but before noon the
clouds began to scatter, and by the middle
OF the day the sky was clear. Gay red
plumes attracted attention early in the
day. Several hundred of the Uniformed
Knights of st. George, belonging 10 the
First Regiment, were present to witness
the installation of Company H, of this
city. Company H was organized last
spring, and the installation was to have
taken place the Sunday after the flooo,
but, of course, it could not take place
then. One member, Mr.. Jacob Malzl,
was drowned.
The members prepared themselves by
receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist
in the morning. All the visiting knights
were dined in Oswalds new hall, Clinton
street. From there they marched to St.
Joseph's German Catholic Church, Cone-
maugh borough, where Pontificial Yes
pers was celebrated at Q o'clock. The
swords were blessed Immediately after.
In the procession to the church they wvie
led by the Cathedral Band of tfttrH
pieces, P. Daunhardt, leader, Of Puts.
burgh. This is also the band of the Scr.
ond Brigade of the National Guard.

The route was over Railroad, Coal

different companies all went tn Oswald's
hall, where they disbanded. Supper was
served there also to the visiting com.
panies.
The Altoona company arrived on
Western Express in the morning and
went home on Philadelphia Express. The
Pittsburgh, McKeesport and Braddock
companies arrived by special train in the
forenoon and left by the same at 6:30 fol
their homes.
The affair was very creditable show.
ing for the men and organizations that
turned out. But the muddy condition
of the streets lnterfered with the pleasure
of the occasion.

BrOnZing.

Many articles about the house may be
frightened wonderfully by theapplication
ofbronzing. Ifyou depend on the liquid
bronze, sold in small bottles, you will
find that it costs considerable to cover
much surface, but if you buy bronze
powder, such as gas.fitters use on pipes,
and mix it, with a size Of two parts lin
seed oil and one part coach varnish, you
will find that a great deal may be done at
little cost. To use it, pour some of the
size into shallow dish-a sauce plate is
good-being sure to shake il up well
first, so that the oil and varnsh will mix.
Put some Of the powder in another plate.
Dip your brush into the size, and mix up
"a little of the powder at time. 1t should
be thick enough to form good body, and
must not run. 1t dries rapidly. If the
lustre is not enough after once going over
the article, give it second coat. Old
frames can be made to look like new in
this way. 1t can be applied to metal or
wood. Anyone who can use brush can
apply it satisfactorily.

The Following Have Been Granted Since
Our Last Report.
Novel and Useful.

Retail grocers, and other retail dealers
doing credit business are adopting a
plan that is at once novel and decidedly
useful. They issue to their customers,
Coupon Books, (patented), similar to
Mileage Books for Railways, but instead
of the coupons being one mile, they are
for one cent each the value of the books
varying from two to twenty dollars.
These coupons are good for their face
value in groceries or other merchandise
at the store of the firm issuing them
When the books are issued, the dealer
charges his customer with the value of
the book. When payday comes the Gus
toner pays this amount, and meantime
uses the coupons for the purchase of sup
plies, same as paying cash, thus avoiding
all disputed accounts and saving valuable
time to both the dealer and his customer.
Every retail dealer doing credit business
should adopt this plan, and should write
the publishers for information, and if
every customer would insist upon his
dealer using them, there would be much
less occasion for the disputing of accounts.
Manufactured by the Historical Publish
ing Co., of Dayton Ohio, to whom all
inquiries for specimens and particulars
should be sent.

PRESIDENT HARRIsoNs ORIGINAL.
IDEA.

An exchange says admiringly that
4" President Harrison is iscarefully prudent
in looking into and examining all appli
eants for office-that he laboriously
examines the claims of every
one recommended" This may be
true; but true or not true many
lenring Republicans east, west, north and
south, say he then proceeds to make ap.
pointments on a strictly new and original
principle, namely, by appointing some
ore not recommended and about whom
he knows nothing. Original as the pro-
ceediDg is, it is to say the least no great
evidence of wisdom or statesmanship.

The Gallltzin Water Company is NOV
ing things. They have contracted with
P. Z, Swartmont, of Altoona, for reser-
voir and pipe line to be completed in six
weeks. Ed. T. McNeeis, Esq, of our
city, was employed to prepare the papers
in the matter.
The company has lored three wells
about mile from the town, near the Blair
county line. From there the water will
be pumped into the reservoir and con-
Quoted to the town in pipes.
Dphtheria has considerably abated, as
has fever also. The people are anxious
to have the water works completed as
they believe that much of the bad health
that has prevailed there for the past sew
eral years is due to impure water.

road.
The Catholic Congress, to be held in
Baltimore, Md, November 10th to 18th.
promises to bring together a very large
assemblage of the clergy, ;he laity, and
the church organizations, from the entire

to sell excursion tickets to all visitors to
Baltimore on this occasion at single fare
for the round trip,
The tickets will be sold from all sta.
tions on the Pennsylvania Railroad sys-
tenn, November 7th to 18th, valid for re-
urn until November 10th, 1889. All
ickets sold from Pittsburg and stations

but will be sold at the Bulimorr rate,
and will admit of stop-off in Baltimore
within the face limit, so that excursion
lists may enjoy the privilege of visiting
both cities.

The Dead Are Now Searched for in Three
Localities-One Body Found Saturday.

The work of searching for the dead is
being vigorously pushed. The work is
now in progress in three places. One
force is working in the Conemaugh back
of where Mr.. James p. McConaughy's
new brick block stood. Wire, roots and
other debris make the removal of the
sand and muck difficult. This force is
under Mr. VIM. Drew, and found body
to-day. Three of the four bodies already
found were uncovered by Mr.. Drew's
men.
Another force is at work on the Mill
vile side of the Conemaugh, opposite the
Point. This is the largest force and CON
sisted yesterday Of about fifty men and
twenty teams.
Saturday force of men was employed
in Woodvale, andwhile they removed de-
posits from the river and elsewhere they
will form an embankment to shut out the
river. A much larger force will be EN-
ployed there to-day, when the work of
cleaning out the cellars will begin.

PLEASANT RECOLLECTION

or . Stay of Several Months In Europe
 The Jottings or . New Havener's
 Trip Abroad - What He Saw at the
 London Docks During she Great
 strike.
 Mir. and Mrs. Thomas Hurle, and their grand. daughter Mrs. Holmes, who returned home from Europe Saturday night after four months absence, had pleasant weather spent the greater part of the time in London, visiting great many of the noted sights of public interest, including the Tower, the British Museum, etc. They also visited the great coal mining regions of Leioestershire, but did not descend into the mines, content ing the hosts of cottages where the miners live, which are in beautiful section of coun- try. fertile, grassy and well cultivated, and showing no signs of the vast coal mining operations going on underneath. They also visited Brighton, the Coney Island of Eng land. The day they were there. there were four immense excursion trains run from LoRdon to Brighton all crowded with pleas ure seekers off for days outing. They vis- ited the famous old castle in Berkshire and went all through Windsor Castle and as- cended to the top of the famous Round Tower from the top of which one can see portions of thirteen counties, and which looks down upon the great drive four miles long to the North Park. They saw much of the effects of the recent great strike.
 Mr. Hurle was down on the docks three weeks ago last Wednesday and saw thousands of ocean vessels and steamers all filled with cargoes, with nobody to unload them and scarcely alaborer to be seen anywhere about. At one 4,000 ton vessel, a frantic effort was being made to accomplish something toward getting out the perishable freight by three of the officers and two clerks, and sorry work they were making of 1t.
 MT. Hurle and party were delayed for days and days waiting for chance to get passage on a steamer home, the delay being caused by the great strike. They finally had to go to Hui where they obtained passage on the San- tiago, large steamer, which was twelve days in making the passage. MT. Hurle's ex- periences on the Santiago were very satisfac- tory, and he commends this class of ships to ocean travellers. MT. Hurle and party were delighted with what they saw of the great university at Cambridge, which was consider able, and brought home very pleasant and satisfactory recollections of visit they made to the Paris expedition.

 pointed out and described better than the patients can themselves.
 He locates, describes, understands and ex- plains disease at glance; historizes it's in- cipiency, progress and termination.
 Teaches in his consultations the patients inherent powers over all their weaknesses and debilities which lead to all the various diseases 1ncipient to their nature, gives the proper remedy and course of treatment neces- sary to perfect and permanent cure.
 No person should doctor any longer or take any more medicine before consulting him.
 Not only will they be surprised at his won- derful knowledge of disease, his plain, con- else explanation of every cause and effect, but at the rapidity with which he relieves and cures the most obstinate diseases by the Polypathio System.
 The only system by the aid of which coupled with his knowledge of the structure of man and his experience with the peculiar ities of disease and it's action upon the func. tions of the body, so demonstrate to the patient, whose life is endangered, the real cause of their trouble, and point to an abso- lute relief and cure.
 Since the Connecticut branch of the Poly pathic Institute was established at the above street and number, and their liberal offer as means of introducing their progressive sys- tenn to this State of giving all who may call free consultation, examination and treatment | two days in each week (every Wednesday and Thursday, has induced hundreds from nearly every city and town in Connecticut to quickly respond to the call to investigate a system more potent in it's active power of healing than all the boasted science since the world began.
 1 Out of this number 76S have been ex. amined, 291 have been pronounced incurable and their cases not taken for treatment, and from the reports of those already under treatment iFwould seem that the Conneoti cut branch was established upon founda' ton equally as strong as the home institu tion, which, for fifteen years, has controlled the chronic diseases of New England.
 As the free treatment 30 generously givel the past month every Wednesday and Thurs day, will be continued during the month O October only, every Wednesday and Thurs day, as many as possible will be examined from 10 8. m. to 8 p. m. Wednesdays, ant from 10 a. m. to p. m. Thursdays, no later.
 After November 1st the regular prices o the Institute will be charged.

YACHTS IN A BRISK BREEZE.

Good Time Made by she New Haven
 Yacht Club Flyers on Their Annual
 Regatta Yesserday-But Few of the
 Entries Sailed.
 A brisk breeze from the south sped over the face of the waters as the trim flyers of the New Haven Yacht club set their white sails for the annual fall regatta of the club yesterday morning. It was @ fine day for sailing and the invisorating atmosphere lent good part of its vigorous spirit to the many sailors who appeared about the club house and on the pretty yachts, all looking as spruce and as hardy as ever sailors imag- instion pictured an ideal jolly tar. Owing to the lateness of the season, interest in the regatta was not as great as 1t has been in the previous events of the season, and but few of the yachts which were entered appeared to take part in the regatta. The yachts, which began to veer about in readiness for the start when the preparatory gun was fired at half past ten in the morning, were the Mariotta, Flora, Sea Belle, Aria, Acme, vedette and Venus. The boats which entered and did not appear were the, Marguerite, Carrie w., triever. The judges boat, Messenger, with the judges, Y. P. Avery, Joseph T. Whittle- sey and W. A. Borden aboard, turned it's bow towards the jetty followed by the fleet of yachts with Venus in the lead. The yachts glided back and forth about the starting line for few minutes, and at 11:22 the second gun was fired. The third gun was fired at 11:28 and the last at 11:34. The yachts were then all under way and headed towards the old lighthouse Topsails on most of the yachts had been taken in and inainsails and jibs alone were used. The course sailed over was from an imaginary line between the judge's steamer and Pardee's bar buoy, leav- ing Ludington's Rock, Pond Point, Welch's Point and Charles Island buoys on the stare board hand, to and around the mid-channel buoy at the entrance of the Housatonic river Qocated eight miles from Ludington's Rock buoy, on a line with Stratford Point 1ight) returning over the same course, leaving Charles Island, Welch's Point, Pond Point and Ludington's Rock buoys on the port hand.
 The complete record of time made by the flyers is here given:
