Abundant Crops.

1t Is fresh in the memory Of every.

anxiety soon turned to fear, and the

the crops grew. and We were all happy
for little while; but our joy again
turned to fear lest the hot winds of
July should work ruin to the wheat;
but the hot winds didn't come and
we were left in trouble for something

Rain Causes Trouble at McKeesport.
Just as the long and imposing line at
McKeesport was ready to march to-day to
the several cemeteries, to decorate and
honor the graves of the departed veterans,
a binding storm came up, and most of the
thousands in line were drenched to the skin,
while the most profuse and handsome
decorations the city has ever seen were
utterly ruined. Not until they were
thoroughly drenched did the several orders
break ranks, and then there was dash
for shelter The veterans, however, re-
fused to break ranks, and marched through
mud and water to the graves of the departed
and decorated them, being afterward joined
by hundreds who stood until the end. The
day closed with services held in the Opera

Williamsburg always celebrates Memorial
Day in fitting manner, and this year was
no exception to the rule. Major W. G.
Lowry Post No. 54S, which comprises most
of the veterans in. the borough, was
in charge of the exercises to-day, and ar
ranged a very interesting programme. 1t
will be remembered that a year ago the dead
soldiers of Williamsburg were removed from
the Covenanter Church graveyard, in the
midst of the borough, to Beulah Cemetery,
three miles away. The services yesterday,
therefore, were held at Beulah. The men,
bers of the post, with visitors from other
posts, and accompanied by the Veteran
Drum Corps, marched from the post room
in Williamsburg at 9 A. NJ. to Beulah, where
services commenced at 10 o'clock sharp,
opening with dirge by the drum corps, and
followed by "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
by the Williamsburg public school choir.
The choir also sang America, a"Memorial
Day 0de," ''Star Spangled Banner" and
'Brave Battery Boys" during the morning.
After prayer by Rev. w. w. Ralston and
the reading of general orders by Adiutant
John p. Turner, Post Commander C. B.
Stewart delivered an address. Flowers
were then placed on the graves, and ad-
dresses were made as follows: Violets,
Comrade j. C. Hill; daisies Comrade S.
Creelman; geraniums, Comrade A. o. Lauf-
man; white flowers, Comrade T. j. Nc
Grath. The oration of the day was, de-
Ivered by Rev. B. F. Beazell. After a
salute in memory of the dead by Post 548,
and selection by the choir, Rev. w. w.
Ralston brought the exercises to a close
with the behediction.

ception and Shown About the City.
Decoration Day, as it comes around in the
calendar of the people of Johnstown, has
double significance, for to them it is not
only the day on which they pay some
outward token of respect to the
memory of departed heroes, but is also
the eve of the memorable flood of 1889,
which cost so many lives. The citizens are
good enough to think they owe something
to the newspaper workers who sent the
news of that disaster over the country, with
a return of immediate succor, and accord
ingly arranged for visit of newspaper men
who had one duty during that period.
The Mountain City was the rendezvous
for two parties of newspaper men; one from
Pittsburg, which left on the day express at
clock in the morning, and the other from
Philadelphia, both running within half an
hour of each other.
Reception of the Two Delegations.
The Pittsburg delegation numbered nearly
30, including guests and ladies, and were ac-
commodated in a special car placed at their
disposal by the Pennsylvania Railroad
through Colonel Thomas Watt, to whom the
the thanks of the ''boys" are due for also
furnishing free transportation. The genial
Colonel journeyed down himself; as well
as did James B. Scott. About a
dozen came in from New York and Phila-
delphia, and on arrival were rendered well
come by the Reception Committee, which
included the Mayor, Horace w. Rose, A. j.
Moxham, John Thomas, John Fulton,
J. d. Roberts, A. J. Haws, Jo-
seph Morgan, Jr., Herman Bunner,
Dr. G. W. Wagner, DIR. w. B.
Lowman, S. w. E. Mathews, james Shoe
maker, John Hannah, Cyrus Elder and
of interest were next visited in carriages
placed at the disposal of the visitors by the
Committee of Reception. The steep ascent
to GrandYiew Cemetery was made, to afford
the guests an opportunity of seeing the
graves of the 700 who were unidentified.
An Untouched Relic of the Flood.
Down in the town the house of Colonel
Linton was pointed out as relic of the
flood. The residence stands untouched
since wrecked, and gave the visitors some
idea of the force of the waters.
The Cambria County Medical Society had
hospitable welcome prepared for the
"boys" and their friends. Luncheon and
refreshment were provided in the rooms, and
Drs. Lowman and Waggoner could not do
too much in making their guests at home.
Later in the day the visitors sat down to a
capital dinner in McAteer's hotel, after
which a return was made to town.
During the afternoon a meeting of the
Johnstown Flood Correspondents Associa-
tion was held under the presidency of
Thomas keenan,. Arrangements were made
for holding the next annual dinner in this
