KILLED at GaIlitZin.

While walking on the track at GallltzlU
on Saturday evening, about 8 o'clock, an
unknown man was run over by a train and
instantly killed. His head was mashed
to Jelly and one of his legs cut in hor-
rible manner.
The remains were brought to this city
on Altoona Accommodation aDd taken to
Henderson's morgue.
The only things found on his person
were a notebook bearing memorandum
of expenses, and contained the name,
&" John Gearney, Cassandra, Cambria Co.,
Pa" Also the name, "P. McGough,
Portage, Cambria Co., Pa" who is the
Coroner of Cambria county.
There were also found on his person
several bandana handkerchiefs, a common
plush cap,a pipe, and some tobacco. There
is no clue to his identity. The body
will be held at Henderson's morgue until
Tuesday, and if not claimed will be
buried in the Potter's field, in Sandyvale
Cemetery.

WHAT Is LIKELY TO BE

Lancaster Intelligencer.
General Hastings says that he is not
gong to let Cambria county turn him out
declares that he will stay until the State
Convention meets; he thinks that Cam
bria would have done differently on fair
test of the opinion of the Republican
voters, and that he lost its delegates
because he was too sure that the
sentiment of the voters would prevail in
their selection.
No doubt the General was taken advan-
tage of in Cambria by the dark devices of
his adversary; but the lesson teaches
that the General is going to be
laid low in like manner in many places.
He may have the voters, but he does not
have the schemers and we do not see
much reason to doubt that his "goose is
cooked" 1t will be very we'll for the
General to keep his courage up and his
flag flying; until at least he can make
coed terms OF capitulatiOn. 1t is, as he
says, long time yet before the Conyen-
tion meets, and much may happen before
then to change the face of the situation;
and if 1t does not change, it will be time
enough then to see what can be made by
hauling in his colors and giving his allie
glance to the annOnted candidate. But
Hastings is likely to be for Delamater be-
fore the nomination.

BUSINESS IN 1890.

1t seems 10 be pretty generally conced-
opinions IN our hearing, and our own OBJ
servation bears out their conclusions, that
at present 1890 promises to be one of the
best general business years which this
country has ever seen. 1t certainly is safe
to say that at present there is no cloud
above the horizon that threatens a storm.
There is very little that is disturbing is
the situation in whatever direction we
look, and the mere fact that the business
public at large seem to be settled in the
opinion that this year is to be good
business year goes very far toward assur-
ing that result. In many sections of the
country there promises to be unusual in
dustrial development. This, we believe,
is particularly true of the Southwest, with
st. Louis as center. We do not suppose
that the Northwest will lose any of its
prosperity, nor that it will stop that won
derful advancement which it has been
making for many years past, but there are
indications that the example which the
Northwest has set will shortly be followed
if not improved upon by the Southwest.
We look also for good business results in
the South. Likewise for development and
expansion through the Western and Cen
tral part of the country. In the extremn
Northwest the outlook is described ae
favorable. California is no exception to
the general rule, while tie great Central
and Eastern sections of the country, from
which many supplies are drawn, will be
influenced very much by the activities in
the newer and more rapidly growing
parts to which we have already directed
attention.

down to get out these men. Who is with
me?" A cheer burst from the men, and
in a moment hundred volunteers were
ready, and from that time the work of re-
lief went rapidly along.
Humphrey was brought out of the mine
in dying condition and bre eathed his last
while on his way home in the ambulance.
The other injured men were out before 4
o'clock, but it was s o'clock Saturday night
before any of the bodies of the killed
reached the surface. AT that time the re-
mains of Crossing and Shultz were sent
up, both horribly mangled. At 930 NO
other bodies had been recovered.
The explosion had been followed by
heavy fall of roof rock and the work of
digging out the bodies was slow and la
borious.
Humphreys was married man with
large family Williams and Shultz were
also married men. The Others were
single. Crossing was very popular
young man and was First Sergeant in
Company l, Ninth Regiment of the Ma
tional Guard of Pennsylvania.

hold in its hands. A French girl of seven
or eight could not wear the shoes of an
Andalusian of twenty" | am glad to
attest that, if the feet of Sevellian women
really were so monstrously small fifty
years ago, they are so no longer. 1t is dis
couraging to see man like Gautier fall
into tle vulgar error of fancying that, be-
cause a small foot is a thing of beauty,
therefore the smaller the foot the more
beautiful it must be. Beauty of feet,
hands and waists is matter of proportion,
not of absolute size, and too small feet,
hands, and waists are not beautiful, but
ugly. We might as well argue that,
since mans foot ought to be larger than
woman's therefore the larger his foot
the more he has of manly beauty. If
Andalusian women really had feet so
small that baby might hold them in its
hands, they would not be able to walk at
all, or, at least, not gracefully, But it is
precisely their graceful gait and carriage
lOl WHICH thCy diS hOSI lahiSu anu dh
mired. All Spanish women are graceful
as compared with the women of other
nations, but among them all the Andalu-
slams are pre-eminent in the poetry of
motion, and this is probably the reason
that, although regular facial beauty is
perhaps commoner in Madrid than in
Seville, I found that you cannot pay
greater compliment to girl in Northern
Spain than by asking her if she is an
Andalusian. 1t would be useless to seek
among land animals for gait comparable
to that of the women of Seville, Cadiz,
Malaga, Granada and when you com
pare it to the motion of swan on the wa
ter, fish in the water, bird in the air,
it is the birds and the fishes that must
feel comphnented.

The leading Baptist paper of the
country, The Examiner, of New York,
says: Mr.. ingalls, delivered his annual
show speech in the Senate last week. 1t
was ''smart," abounding in epigram and
sparkle of rhetoric. But it must be al
lowed, even by the Senator's friends, that
the contribution made by him to the solu-
ton of the Southern problem was very
slight. His warnings of an impeding dis
aster to tie South would have been more
impressive if they had been less sugges-
tive of stage thunder. q" Try Justice" may
be given IN a word as Mr.. Ingalls,
panacea. By justice he means, that
where the negroes outnumber the whites,
the whites should submit to be governed
by the negroes. The spectacle of a
superior race governed by an inferior was
never seen in the history of the world, ex-
cept for a brief period in the Southern
States when the inferior race was backed
by Federal bayonets. Those who are
familiar with the history of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana during the "recon-
struction" period, whether they live
North or South, are not anxious to see
return of those days.

February Forum.
On civil service reform the practical
record of neither party is immaculate.
Both parties have made public professions
of adhesion to the principles of this re-
form, and both have fallen short of their
professions under the temptations Of pow
er. Mr.. Cleveland's administration in its lat
er months, ,lapsed painfully from the reso-
lutte faithfulness with which it began, But
at its worst estate, his administration was
like the driven snow in comparison with
the shameful corruption with which the
Postoffice patronage has been handled
by those two emineut Presbyterian elders,
MIR. Harrison and MIR. Wanamaker, from
the moment that they gripped the reins.
Curious, isn't it, that " the party of the
saloon keepers and ballot-box suffers "
should have given us, in this respect.

while 4" the party of the elders and dea-
cons" in defiance of its formal pledges
and of the solemn obtestations Of its
Presidential candidate on the floor of the
Senate, should so have renewed the
shame of the worst days of the Repub-
lie? punctiliousness in family papers,
not lifetime of labor in Sunday school,
can undo or outdo one hundredth part of
the decentralization that has been wrought
by this treachery to public duty.

Low Rates to Washington via PennsyI-
yania Railroad.
The Pennsylvania Railroads special ex-
cursions to Washington on February 18th,
March 9th, April Sd, and April 24th pre-
sent an extraordinary opportunity for
delightful visit to the capital of the ma.
tion. The capital with all its interesting
features is most attractive in winter and
spring, and that is also the season when
our people can command the greatest
period of leisure.
The limits of the tickets are generous
enough to make the visit thorough, not
only taking in Washington, but Baltimore,
Mt. Vernon, Richmond, and Peter sburg.
Round-trip tickets will be sold from Pitts
burgh to Washington at 5000, valid for
ten days, and admitting of stop-over in.
Baltimore in either direction. The rate
from other stations in the western portion
of the State will be proportionately low.
Special train of parlor cars and day
coaches will leave Pittsburgh at s A. NJ,
stopping at principal stations and con-
Meeting from branch lines. The tickets
will also be good on the night trains leav-
ing Pittsburgh on dates mentioned,
Round-trip tickets to Mt. Vernon, Rich
mond, and Petersburg may be purchased
in Washington at reduced rates.
The round.trip rate from Johnstown is
81. SO and the leaving time of the train is
1918 A. NJ.

Artificial FueI-Gas at Moxham.

AS is well known, the johnson Com
p' .ny have a process, the Archer, in sue
C, .ssful operation at their works, manu-
f acturing fuel gas for their heating fur
naces. As it is expected that the resi-
dents of the town will be deprived of the
convenience of gaseous fuel in their
homes, the wide-awake corporation is
taking steps to supply an artificial fuel
gas to take the place of the natural article.
To accomplish this, one of the many pro-
cesses now in successful operation in diff
ferent parts of the country, will be intro
duced, or if it can be done, the Archer
system will be applied. The problem of
an artificial fuel gas has been successfully
solved by several scientists and inventors,
notably by Prof T. S. @. Lowe, at Los
Angeles, California, and we understand
that another system is in use in several
towns in Michigan.

UNCLE SAM pays his 100000 employees,
including soldiers and sailors, an average
salary of $S25 apiece. The average earn
ings of the plain, everyday citizen, who
gets pay in proportion to the work he
does, are about half that much, probably.
This state of affairs explains, perhaps,
why about 90, 100000 male American citi-
