this to Mr.. Chaplin. Mr.. Townsend called
the committee. together specially to settle
the salary question for Mr.. Chaplin. Mr.
Chaplin was present, laid his grievances
before the committee, and their decision

ed his regrets at the committees decision
but said that settles it. Had always
warned Mr.. Chaplin not to bring this suit,
for he would fail to recover anything on
such an obviously groundless claim.

of the large salaries from the Philadelphia

part of their salaries on the Johnstown
books, and the remainder is paid from the
Philadelphia office. Mr.. Chaplin rendered
his resignation as General Manager July
~, 1887, and it was accepted July 10,
1887, to take effect, he (the wItness)
thought, at the end of fiscal year, but Mr.,
Chaplin desired to continue on until the
end of the calandar year, and there was
no fuss made about it. Mr.. Chaplin re.

men concerded in the works at Johnstown
found great deal to complain of in his
management.
The case was rested and the attorneys
presented their law points to the Court
and proceeded to argue the case before
the jury.
Col. ]. p. Linton addressed the jury in
behalf of the defendant, making strong
plea against the claim of Mr.. Chaplin.

The absorbing topics in Scalp just now
are the merits of the hundred and one
different Republican candidates seeking
the nominations for county offices in Som
erset county.
The Republican candidates in Somer-
set county sometimes get across the line
into Cambria, when they come here seek
nominations.
MIR. G. Stroup, former resident of
Scalp, where he owned the large steam
tannery now operated by Mr.. Frank
Buchanan, visited his former home last
Sunday. He now resides ON a farm in
Quemahoning township, Somerset county.
John E. Gastiger, Esq, was visiting
at his old home in Scalp on Sunday
last.
The probabilities are that the Kunkel
farm in Paint township near here will be
sold about the latter part of October.
Several of the Scalp Level sporting men

MEN KISS EACH OTHER.
Interesting Scenes at the Dunkard's Yearly
Love Feast-Males and Females Hum
bly, Wash Each Others Feet

Interesting Scenes at the Dunkard's Yearly
Love Feast-Males and Females Hum
bly, Wash Each others Feet.
The peculiar religious denomination
known as the Dunkards are holding their
yearly love feasts in most of the German
counties of Pennsylvania in the eastern
part of the State. The meeting held to-
day at Ziegler's meeting house, near
Rehrsburg, was one of great interest.
There were thousands of people In attend
ance, and nearly all of them was Dunk
ards.
The solid old farmers, attired in the an
cient dress peculiar to their faith, and
hundreds of women and children, made
the occasion before the opening of the
meeting lively one. The meeting house
is just as peculiar as the religion and the
people. The floor slopes from both ends
to the centre. This makes it possible to
look over the heads of those seated in the
central portion of the church.
On the second floor are two large rooms.
These were occupied last night by the
brothers and sisters who came from dis
tance. One room was occupied by the
men and the other by the women and
children. These apartments are furnished
with bedsteads and cradles. The cooking
is done in the basement. Some sixty men,
women and children occupied these Sleep
ing rooms last night. An OK weighing
$50 pounds was slaughtered to-day for
the meals.
After sermon or two the interesting
feet-washing ceremony took place. When
the bishop had finished reading the
Biblical chapter which describes Christ
washing the feet of the disciples, the
DunkaIds gave very fair imitation of
the ceremony. One brother kneeled down
and washed both feet of three or four
brothers sitting on bench in a row while
another brother, girt with towel, fol-
lowed and wiped the feet. The women,
all of whom wore white lace caps,
washed each others feet in the same way,
while an appropriate hymn was being
sung. Loves of bread and tin dishes con-
tanning soup, made OF rice and beef, hav-
ing been placed on the table, all the mem
bers partook of the Lords supper. Every
set of four brothers and every set of four
sisters ate souD out of one dish, two sit
ting on each side of narrow table, The
members arose after eating and embraced
each other in a fervent manner. The
salutation of the holy kiss followed, when
each imprinted a kiss on the lips of the
member next to him. The loud smacks
resounded through the meeting house.
Communion services the breaking of un-
leavened bread and the drinking of un-
fermented grape wine were also observed.
The unleavened bread was in strips, some
six inches long, two inches wide, and
half an inch thick. A piece was broken
off by brother, who broke another piece
off and handed the remainder to the
brother next him The meeting lasted
two days, and finally adjourned this af-
ternoon amid warm embraces of affection
and the giving of the holy kiss.

THE CoRONER's INQUEST.
The Death of the Late Jeremiah Lynch
Examined Into.

The Death of the Late jeremiah Lynch
Examined Into.
Coroner P. McGough came to the city
this Tuesday, in response to a request to
hold an inquest and examine into the
cause of the death of the late jeremiah
Lynch, whose dead body was found in the
Conemaugh River on Thursday evening.
A Jury was called and sworn, after which
several witnesses were examined. Their
testimony contained very little additional
to what appeared in the DEMOCRAT yester-
day morning,
James Hopkins testified that Lynch left
Murphy's pool room on Iron street on
Monday evening at about ten minutes
past 10 o'clock. The deceased was not
under the influence of liquor. He started
for home alone.
James Minahan testified to the finding
of the hat IN the vault. He and several
others searched the river for considera-
able distance, for they thought that
some one might have fallen through the
vault They found no one, The bruises
on the body of Lynch were such as might
have been made by falling to the river
bed through the place named.
The jury visited the vault where the hat
had been found. The place is in dan
gerous condition, A man might easily
fall through the large opening.
The verdict agreed to by the Coroner
and jury was as follows
We, the coroner and Jury, sworn to impure
into the cause OF the death OF jeremiah Lynch,
after thorough investigation do find that the
said Jeremiah Lynch came to his death by ac-
cidentaIly falling through the vault at the Cam
bria Iron Works in the city OF Johnstown, said
vault, or privy, being, in the opinion Of the
Jury, from the evidence unsafe and danger

A New Furnance, Additional Track Service
and Other improvements.
The johnson Company have just COM
pleted new line of track between the
rolling mill and the Mitis boundary.
The old track will be used for siding the
cars loaded with coal while being un-
loaded and the track used for switching
purposes.
A new heating furnace is also under
construction at these works. 1t will be
known as No, furnace. The capacity
of the six furnaces is insufficient to
supply the demand of the rolls, hence
the addition. The building will also be
extended to cover the new addition.
