RUMORS OF A DAY,
Miiitiamen Spread False Report that the
Strikers Were Digging n Tunnel

Miiitiamen Spread n False Report that the
Strikers Were Digging n Tunnel
HOMESTEAD. Pa. July 16.-One of the
widest reports which has agitatea this
community since the fight with the Pink
ertous came out of camp this morning aud
spread over the borough with exceeding
rapidity until nearly every one was talk
ing about it. The report probably origi.
mated with the guards along the borough
side of the mill fence. and was taken to
camp by them when relieved. In effecr,
it was, since the soldiers have so
thoroughly invested the mills that it is
impossible for the ex-employes to gam en-
trance into the mill. they had begun q tun-
mel under the fence. which was worked on
all night by hundred men. The only pos
eible foundation for the report is the dig
ging of q sewer on street leading toward
the mill The contractor was behind hand
and worked his men all night He laughed
when informed of the story. and SAID that
all morning he had seen curious crowds
come down to look at the work
The whole of the Sixteenth Regiment
was on patrol duty to-day. and the men
were masscd about the railroad gate.
Lines of troops covered the tracks and ex-
tended all the way from the river front to
Eighth avenue, distance of about half n
mile. Crowds of the striking men gath
cred some distance away from the troops,
but no talking between the groups was
permitted. The only men who passed back
and forth uuquestioned were the corre-
epondents. There is a large three-story
franc tenement about a block from
the river, in which quito number of Hun
garian workmen live. and the officers re-
gard it as the place from which an attack
on the soldiers. If any is made. will occur.
Next tn this building is long row of
families of Iaborers. The locality is re-
gardcd as perhaps tho most dangerous in
Homestead. 1t Is watched with exceeding
vigilance by the soldiers. If shot shou Iii
be fired from any of the windows the
house will undoubtedly bs at once wiped

The Local Paper.

The city papers are all right il
you want them, but it is the local
paper that advertises your numer-
Gus societies, your churches, your
schools, rejoices with you in
your prosperity. In short, it is
your local paper that mentions the
thousand and one items in which
you are interested during the year,
and which you do not find in the
city papers. 1t is the home paper
that records your births, publishes
your marriage, and chronicles your
death. To the great journals-the
forty page conpendiums Of the
daily happenings of the world
You are not even cypher. To get
the least notice from them you
must steal 500, 900, commit an
atrocious murder, or have q half
dozen living wives. But your To-
cal paper watches over you with
loving solicitude all the time. IL
you strike it rich in q lottery, it is
glad, and says so. II you are sick
it is sorry, and hopes you will soon
be well. 1t tells when you come
and when you go; when your house
burns down, or you build . new
one, when your Johnnie has the
mumps or your Mary has the meas
les and how much the little stran-
ger weighed on arrival. And when
you require the whole street and
both sidewalks to get home from
lodge, it shuts both eyes and
"mum's the word" Yes, take the
big papers if you are interested in
what is going on in Africa, but if
you want to keep up with your own
biography take the home paper

SxvxGE.-Nelson Savage was
born in Allegany county (now Gar

Oakland, Md, Jan. 22, 1892. lie
was married to Elizabeth White,
daughter of Richard White, of Sell

1S49, from which union five chill
dren were born, all daughters, two
Of whom are still living, Mrs. C. C.
Michael and Mrs. J. A. Hayden,
both Of Oakland. His wife died in
1859, since which time deceased had
made his home principally with the
family of Mr.. George O'Brien, Of
Glendale, this county. His death,
which occurred at the residence OF
his daughter, Mrs Hayden, was
caused by heart failure, after an
illness of four weeks, during which
time he was great sufferer. He
was converted at Mt. Lake Park in
July, 1890, and died trusting in the
Lord.
Services were held at the residence
conducted by Revs. Geo. W. Kepler
and Benjamin Ison, after which the
remains were conveyed to the Odd
Fellows Cemetery and inferred, in
the presence of large concourse Of
relatives and friends.
CUPPET.-Jacob Cuppet was born
in Bedford county, Pa, April 8,
1903, and died at his sons resi-
dence, Thomas II. Cuppet, near
Hoyes, Jan. %, 1892, being almost
80 years old. He came with his
parents to Preston county, W. Va,
and afterwards removed to Garrett
county, Md. He joined the Evan
gelicsl church when a young man
and remained a member until his
death. His mind being impaired
for about three years, we could not
tell much about his spiritual condi-
ton at the time Of his death. He
was one Of those genial men free
from care and anxiety and of won
derful strength. His remains we're
placed BY the side Of his companion
last Sunday in the Johnstown GEM
etery to await the general resurrec-
ton. The funeral will be preached
at some future time.

hundred abandoned farms; in Union
county, where Of late years some
600 miles of improved roads have
been built, there is not . single
farm lying idle.
The changes thus described are
certainly worth the cost Of building
good roads. And it may be said
here that Mr.. Potter quotes with
approval and belief the remark of q
countryman, that the roads were
not well paved because rich people
had come INTO the country, but
that rich people had come because
the roads were well paved.
AS to the method Of obtaining
improved roads. Mr.. Potter has de-
csded iisss. The stnEe. he says,

taken steps to secure competent
supervision of road improvements,
an admission of their right and
duty to maintain the entire high
way system. The cost to the farm
ers OF New York Of state system
Of roads would be only Z per cent.
of the total. and in other states it
will not vary much from this per-
centage. AS bonds can be issued
for building roads, the cost in any
one wear of good roads would be-
infnitesimal to the farmer, and he
would profit abnndantly by his in
vestment.
Mr.. Potter's pamphlets are illus
trated with photographs showing
half loaded carts and wagons stock
IN the mud of our spring roads,
some Of them within the limits Of
the largest cities of the Union.
while other pictures OF country
roads in France, Italy and Belgium
indicate what good roads are. One
or two pictures show that American
roads may b. made as good as those
Of Europe. 1t is to be hoped that

of this last class may be rapidly in

Death Of Rev. Joseph Dewitt.
Rev. Joseph Dewitt was born
Jan. 10, 1918, and died Jan. 13,
1892, hence aged almost "a years.
lie was married to Mary J. 1hayer
June l3, 1S43. She only lived about
three years afterward. His second
marriage was to Julia A. Robinson
March 2S, ls4S, she still surviving
him bat in very feeble condition.
He joined the NJ. Z. church when
he was about 20 years of age and
dates his first religious impressions
to the kind and earnest words Of
Mrs. West, faithful Sunday school
teacher, living in the Flatwoods.
He was licensed as local preacher
January 5, 1861, and afterwards
local deacon and elder in the church.
He continued abundant in labors
up to the very last, even marrying
a couple only two days before he
died. His council was sought by
ministers as well as laymen, and
was one Of the most self-sacrificing
of Gods servants; never sought his
own comfort but comfort and happi-
ness Of others. His love for the
church was intense and he invaria-
bly, showed his love BY giving to It
his hearty support. He served tho
county as Magistrate number Of
years and also as Judge Of tho
Orphans Court twelve years.
His remains we're placed by the
side of his parents in the Johnstown
cemetery in the presence Of a large
concourse of people. The funeral
services were not preached on ac-

says that in its opinion the prin-

hold up the hands of Congressman
Scott, of Illinois, who will intro
duce a bill prohibiting the Post
Office Department from printing
envelopes and from engaging in
business in competition with pri-
vate concerns. The printing of en-
velopes by the government has
made deep inroads upon the re-
ceipts of the printers of this
country and they should be unani-
nous in supporting Congressman
Scott's efforts. The Star suggests
that a meeting OF the printers be
held at an early day, to adopt reso-
lutions endorsing the Congress
mans action.
