Nay Mean Something.


Cambria Freeman.
\ corps of engineers made their ap-
pearance here on Monday, working to.
ward Ebensburg from the direction of
Carroltown. They are very reticent in
giving out information and nothing can
be learned from the men Of the ultimate
object Of their work. 1t is known. how
ever, that they followed the Susquehanna
from Cherrytree to Andrew S S'rittmatter's,
mile and a half this side of Carrolltown
when they then followed very nearly the
old plank road to this place, connecting
their work with the Ebensburgh & Cres-
son branch on Tuesday evening. 1t may
be Il long time between the preliminary
survey and the advent Of the Hungarians
and Italians, with horses and carts, to
buiiG railroad, hut as a rorerunner of
something that is to strike US, we are glad
to see an engineer corps hanging around
in the Lcig lborhood.

1t MAY Not BE Scull.

Colonel Edward Scull, the veteran ed
itor of the Somerset Herdld, who has rep
resented the Twentieth District in the
House for two sessions, will also nave
some trouble getting denomination.
Colonel Scull asserts that his relations
with Senator Quay arc very pleasant. but
some persons say his assertion does not
refer to things political. He has also
gotten into trouble about the offices, and is
even accused of the heinous crime
of dlckering with the Democrats. Hon.
John Cessna, of Bedford who favors cold
water and seems never to grow old, is
mentioned for the succession. So is
George r. Swank, editor of the johns
town Tribune but Mr.. Swank claims to
have no political aspirations at present.
Blair, Cambria and Somers counties,
which are in the district, have all had
their turn in the House since Bedford
man sat there, and from a geographical
point of view Cessna's argument is un-
answersble. There are likely to be other
patriots in Bedford, however.

point short distance below st. Mary's mission.
on her return with an excursion party from
Harrison Hot Springs. Samuel T. Gowen, second

an oil can in his hand. lost his footing and fell

currence gave an alarm at once The steamer
which was travelling at high rate Of speed at
the time, was several hundred yards past before
she could be reversed, and before assist ance
could be rendered the unfortunate man he had
disappeared beneath the waves and was seen no
more Mr.. Gowen was about % years OF age and
was well known in Victoria, having lived there
some time. His parents are at present residing
at Seattle.
The late Mr.. Gowen was for many years Q res

Mr.. Goven learned his trade there and was a

retical as we'll as the practical part OF bis pro-
fession. He gave promise of becoming . bright
light in the engineering world, and his unfor-
tunase death will be a sad blow to his bereaved
parents and his many friends.
Mr.. Thomas Gowen, consulting engin-
eer OF Seattle, is the father of the unfortu-
nate young man. Mr.. Gowen knew moth
ing of the accident until Wednesday
morning, letter of coincidence having been
sent from friends in Victoria, the captain
of the Delaware having telegraphed, but it
was not delivered. Mr.. Gowen left al once
for the place of the accident, and every.
thing is being done to recover the body,
and hopes have been entertained by the
family that he may have got ashore, as he
was q good swimmer. Mr.. Gowen, sr., Is
well known on the Sound and by
many in Seattle for his mechan.

drowned being at home on q visit at the
time, and not being able to get nyone to
erect the engines. Mr.. Gowen got him to
do it, which is quite a success. Young Mr.
Gowen was at one time foreman of the

made doubly so on account Of bis ap-
