A letter to the JOURNAL from a
prominent citizen of Johnstown, Pa,
dated July Is, contains the following
pleasing paragraphs:
The excursion arrived here on time and,
without exception, it was the most orderly
crowd that ever visited Johnstown.
The local talent pronounced the concert
given by the Arion Band the best ever heard
in Johnstown.
Your people visited the many points of in
terest here, returning home in the evening
after having most favorably impressed the
best citizenship of Johnstown.
On the other hand. the excursionists
report that they were handsomely re-
ceived and treated by all the people,
and that the trip was success all
round-socially and financially. Over
600 persons participated in it without
the slightest friction from beginning
to end.
The German Arion Band, of this
place, under whose auspices the ex-
cursion was made, was the recipient
of large, fnely-framed photograph
of the beautiful Monument to the
Unknown Dead' of the Johnstown
flood in 1889, presented by John A.

Mayhem.

Ferdinand Fucelli, dago, and Frank
Grove, native, had conversation Sun
day morning last, during which Mr..
Grove observed that che next thing
the Americans would have to do now
would be to lick the Germans and
Italians To this .fnale Mr.. Fucelli
demurred, saying "the Italians couldn't
be licked" Mr.. Fucelli's tone was
not conciliatory, as Mr.. Grove remem
bers, so the latter gentleman illustrated
his own meaning by squaring off and,
personating the United States, began
climbing and reaching for ltaly's dome
of thought. The latter, ascertaining
his error, caught one Of Groves ears
with his teeth, bit out segment and
spat it on the face of the earth. With
this exception Italy got the worst of
it, and having business elsewhere,
demonstrated the evil of Sunday trains
by taking the noon eastbound before
the officials could establish an Ameri-
can prOtectorate over him. Mean
while, Mr.. Grove has been going about
with his ear in sling.

The Old COMPLAINT.

Among those who most enjoyed the
JOURNALS report of the ''Black Dia-
mond' and "All-America Snow Ball'
game last week were number of the
home colored people.
But, it is said, that some feel that
not enough praise was given to in
dlvidual members of the home team
and too much given to some not so
deserving.
In this, however, there is some re-
semblance to the white disposition.
Each wants to be reckoned AS "head
of the class" and so on.
But this is not only the case in base
ball. A colored Pennsylvania preach
err, who is also philosopher and poet,
reports that it is an unfortunate dis
position current even in his church.
He writes:
De mos susprisin' thing to me

Horse Thieves.

Two strangers arrived in town Tues
day and put up horse at the Glad
stone livery. Later they bantele ed W.
f. G.. Hitchins for trade for a
heavier horse, wanted for logging.
The swap was made. The strangers
next went to the gypsy camp and
traded the Hltchins horse for spotted
pony, and left for Piedmont. Thurs
day the Sheriff of jefferson county,
Pa. identified the horse traded to Mr..
Hitchins as stolen and notified him
not to dispose of it. Mr.. Hitchins
started instanter with constable John
II. Lewis toward Grantsville after the
gypsies, while the Pennsylvania sheriff
lit out toward Piedmont after the
thieves. At latest accounts neither
party had succeeded in making a
capture.

Water.

The water committee of Council
went up yesterday afternoon to locate
a point this side of Great Savage to
bore for water.
The JOURNAL goes to press before
result is learned.
But that boring has been determined
upon is evident.
What the town needs first, however,
is water metre for every consumer
to prevent the outrageous waste that
is visible at so many points.
The engineer, too, should be at his
post not later than 7 o'clock. An
hour earlier would be better-to save
that much overflow and give the
people fresh, instead of stagnant water
for breakfast
