The JOURNAL joined the crowd that
went to Johnstown, Pa, last Sunday.
At Mt. Savage junction four of the
six loaded coaches from Georges Creek
were added to a Cumberland train
drawn by two locomotives.
The run to Johnstown was made
without special incident other than
that the place where the Hyndman
Bulletin is published was passed u

home from one of his Sunday schools,
and at Somerset McSsrs. r. q. Colborn,
A. Il. Krise, Frank Potter, George j..
Conner, Harry NJ. Hutson and Will H..
Koch got off.
At Juhnstown the JOURNAL fell into
the hands of w. S. Hooking. native
of Frostburg, and though him met the
Mayor of the city, w. H. Rose, his
son, Horace r. Rose. attorney ;
Michael Lowman, Of Indiana, Pa,
Horace Ross, Of Kansas city, Mo, and
S. T. Hooking, of Altoona. Pa. The
JOURNAL came within an ace of meet
ING l.. d. Woodruff editor Of the
Johnstown Democlwt, but that estimable
gentleman was entertaining one OF the
city's many fair daughters-a pleasure
which the undersigned would not on
any account profane by even a frater-
nal intrusion.
After looking through a public park
filled by restful people, the party
named, including William Jeffries,
took carriages for a spin oyer the
"Nallev road The JOURNAL sat be-
hind Mr.. Roses 2:0S4 nag. and the
way the great paper shot along over
the smooth macadam would daze Il
Homecoming meteorite. At length the
summit of Il mountain was reached,
where, under the magic spell OF Will
Hoclking's eloquence, we quickly learn
ed that the history of Johnstown com
prised two chapters Eden Lost and
paradise Regained,' ana that the
glory of its post -diiuvian day far out
shines il achievement and destiny the
glitter and glare of its ante-dlluvian
splendor. The bran new town Of
Moxham, built within the spacious
corporate limits of .Johnstown, with
its IRON works. is the most conspicuous
development of the city since the flood.
The evidences Of recuperatlon are
plentiful in the city, however, and are
daily multiplying in number and
simplifying in the character of the
editices going up.
While on the mountain the party
took tea-that IS, all who are not
strictly temperate in practice and pro
hibitiorists in theory. 1t was very fine

Down in JohnstoWn again, the city
welcome was in full tilt and all the
visitors enjoying Il royal time. A
portion of the JOURNALS party visited
the Democratic Club Rooms-a hand
some suite, carpeted, pictured and fur
nished in elegant style.
But 6 o'clock, the hour of sadness
drew apace, and Il few minutes later
with tears in our heart, we babe adieu
to our imperial hosts and soon the
tram Numbered homeward up tn,
rocky shore of 'Stony Creek.' There
was lots of innocent fun aboard, anC
we reached home tired only of laugh
ing.

accorded them in that elegant town

that their performances at Mr.. Col

as it was boundless and opportune II

smiles and captivating conversation
have almost made the JOURNAL, as al
individual, "sigh to be a boy again.
But as paper the JOURNAL neye
signs over the lost roses of youth.
Next time the JOURNAL will take il
both Johnstown aud Somerset. 1t Cal
be done by running a private excursion
of one on the regular trains. And, b.
jung, we'll do it just as soon as FIRE
