The business part of the devasted city is begining to cat.cn on. There are some people, but they are decidedly limited, who believe that no newspaper should express an opinion that is antagonistic to the way they think.

The damage done in this State during the past few weeks by floods will reach $50,000,000, and those in a position to know say this is a very low estimate. Miss Myrtle Cunningham, daughter of A. V. Cunningham, of West Indiana, who has been visiting friends in Ohia, returned to her home on last Monday evening. She reports a pleasant time.

The question has been asked frequently within the last few days why it is that G. T. Jones can sell goods so cheap It is because goods are sold only for the Beady Pay.

We love and admire flowers, but at this particular time tney were unusually inspiring. We have the proceeding of a number of Constitutional Amendments meet- held since our last issue, but as the election is past they will not appear. We thank the friends who reported them. If the friends of the Constitutional Amendment, of Greene township, could have heard the pleasant remarks that were made about that old Banner township, they would have been proud to be recognized as a citizen of that district. Hurrah for Greene! It is in these floods and freshets that we see more clearly than in any other manifestation the danger of forest destruction.

soil of the forest is always shaded and moist. It becomes a vast sponge, into which the falling rains are absorbed and from which the water drains off slowly through its natural channels and is carried to the sea. Some people cannot read news which concerns them or their conduct without anger. This should not be. If it is your misfortune to be so situated as to be the subject of an unpleasant news item, let it pass; you have the sympathy of those who know you.

If you are written about because of bad conduct, stop the bad conduct and be forever safe. Among the many articles donated to theJohnstown sufferers by thoughtless, though well-meaning persons, are carpet rags, worn-out school curtains, ball dresses, tidies, fancy needlework, canes, bric-a-brac, etc. Much of the clothing sent is absolutely unfit to wear, and it is evident the donors thought the present opportunity the best and most effective way of getting rid of it. There is one practice that many people who attend church have that is very unmannerly and unbecoming in either sex, and that is flopping themselves down at the end of the seat when the center is unoccupied, and clinging to it with deathlike tenacity; then sitting there as if bolted to the floor with railroad iron, and compelling others to scramble over their pedal extremities as best they can. Maj.

John McMurray has disposed of his interest in the Brookville Jeffersonian Democrat to W. L. Sansom, who will hereafter conduct the journal. The Major retires with the respect and confidence of all. He was a fearless editor.

Mr. Sansom is a good newspaper man as well as a number one printer. The PROGRESS wishes him all the success and patronage imaginable. We admire and commend the position he assumes in his salutatory on the dignity of the Press. The commissioners of Westmoreland and Indiana counties met at the Central hotel, Blaireville, on Friday, June 14th, and decided to rebuild the bridges that were washed away by the flood at Livermore, Blaireville, New Florence and Nineveh.

It will require new ones entirely, as these bridges were completely swept away. Those at Cokeville, Kelly station, and Saltsburg can be repaired. The contract of repairing was let to the Pittsburg bridge company. Contracts for the new bridges will be let in the course of a few months. The propects for manufacturing tinplate in this country are getting very bright There is tin enough in the Black Hills to supply the world.

The only difficulty is in finding some cheap, efficacious way of separating it from the mica mixed with it Several able men are at work on processes for this, with every hope of speedy success. In anticipation of this a company has been formed in Chicago with unlimited capital to engage in the manufacture. This will result in retaining in this country, and paying out to our own people, about $24,000,000 a year, which we have heretofore paid out to England for tin-plate, and thus add ing immensely to the wealth of our own people. By request we publish the following extract from a letter received by a gentleman In this place and written by one who had pissed tnrough the Johnstown flood. The writer says that the saloon keepers held a meeting a week before the flood to express their indignation concerning the action of some christion women, who had been holding prayer and praise meetings in connection with their work for the Prohibitory Constitutional Amendment The whiskey men, in derision, passed around prayer books and groaned in mockerey of the temperance women.

"During the night of the flood," says the writer, "I heard one of these same men, who had lost his family and all his earthly possessions, exclaim in his distress: 'Lord, see there is my wife and nine children all gone. Oh God, we didn't know it was Thee we were mocking. We thought it was the temperance women but we know now we were sinning against Thee. I thank Thee, Lord, that thou didst save my poor sin-sick soul. Thou didst rain fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah and all thoee sinners were burnt op, but here the righteous suffer with the wicked, for surely, LorO, there are some good people in yonder At the beginning of the Amendment Campaign, the County Executive Committee agreed to pay, if possible, necessary expenses incurred by BpeafcMii who should address meetings appointed by the-Committee.

We have a small balance on hand, and so ferasitgoes will use it In redeeming that promise. Those who hrwe claims of this kind can send them either to J. EL Pierce, or to me. I take this opportenity to thank those who have freely Mid efficiently given time and hard work in the good cause. WM.S.OWEHS, Chairman Co.

Ex. Com, LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. HOMER CITY. Gas is coming. Strawberries are plenty.

Mr.Will Alcorn, of Heahbon, ia now working here. Miss Maggie Graham's school has closed for the summer. Quite a number of Mr.J.M.Guthrie'8 laboring men are working in Johnstown. Mr. Tom Neal is having his house plastered.

It will soon be ready to occupy. Rev. Graham, preached a Constitutional Amendmant sermon to a very large audience on last Sabbath. Communiom services will be held in the Presbyterian church on next bath. They will be conducted by Rev.

Penning, assisted by Rev. Hoffman. HERBIE. BLAIRSVILLK. Our town will soon be illuminated with natural gas which will be a most welcome improvement.

On Monday afternoon a procession of children paraded our streets, with banners and flowers, in the interest of the Amendment. The new M. E. Church, in this place is now under roof and is being plastered. It will be completed in a course of a few months.

Prayer meetings were held here on Monday afternoon and nearly all day Tuesday by the ladies, in the interest of the Amendment. A large and enthusiastic Amendment meeting was held in the diamond on Monday evening. John N. Banks, and others addressed the meeting. The gas was turned on for the first time on last Friday, in.

the pipes on Walnut street, and on Saturday was ignited and burned for quite awhile. Peniff Brunot, of Greensburg, have opened an office on the corner of Main and Spring streets, in the room formerly occupied by T. H. Zimmers. These gentlemen are experinced gas fitters, and have located here for the purpose of engaging in the business.

Children's Day was duly observed in the Presbyterian and Methodist churches here, on last Sabbath. In the former church, appropriate services were held at eleven o'clock, occupying the time of the morning service. The church was tastefully decorated with flowers and presented a beautiful appearance. The exercises were interesting and throughout and the large congregation present was delighted with the programme. In the Methodist church the decorations were more elaborate.

A large semi-circle wreath, with "Children's Day, 1889," formed the back ground. On the marble top table at the side of the pulpit, was a pyramid of beautifully blended flowers, presenting a most beautiful scene. On the other side of the pulpit a pedestal upon which a frame was erected to the height of several feet, which was tastefully decorated with wreaths and flowers. On the front part of the pulpit was a cross, which was profusely decorated with variegated colors beautifully blended, which presented a fine appearance. On the back part of the pulpit, under the arch of the semi-cicle, was the sofa which was covered with wreaths.

The exercises opened at 10:30 a. at which time the infant department of the Sabbath hundred carrying a handsome boquet marched into the church depositing the flowers on the sofa, forming a rich and elegant collection of beautiful flowers. A var- ried and interesting programme suitable to the occasion was then presented which was duly appreciated by the large congregation present At the morning service, Rev. Woodring, the pastor, said he desired to introduce a new feature on the occasion. He then asked for the names of all persons who were sick in the congregation, and stated at the exercises at 2:30 a committee would be appointed to visit each of these persons and present them with a boquet, with the compliments of the Sabbath school.

This was a most beautiful plan and the! recipients of the boquets were delighted with the kindness to them. In the evening the exercises were continued and the church was crowded with an interesting congregation and a most excellent programme was given. This was perhaps the best Children's Day service ever held in this church, and it was sought with special interest on account of it being the last service of the kind that would be held in the old church. The entire day was devoted to this service. SILVER WINO.

To Atlantic City via P. R. R. 1 he outlook for the summer season at Atlantic City was never so promising as it ia at present, and the prosper- ousCity by the Sea was never iu so good a condition for entertaining and amusing its guests. Entertainment in the sense affording food and shelter is all that is required of the Atlantic City people, Nature furnishes the rest, and she lays sea and sand, sky and wind under tribute to aid in accomplishing her purpose.

The great Seaside City of summer pleasure, resourceful as it is in all that is attractive and beneficial on sea and land, could never attain to its high standard of popularity if Nature's ally, the "railroad, did not lend its efficient aid in rendering access so easy that the average traveler counts the trip as nothing. The facilities afforded by the Pennsylvania Railroad's seashore branches will be greatly improved for the conv ing season. They have always been maintained on a scale of liberality unapproached by those enjoyed by any other watering place, but a progressive spirit will, his summer, be manifested by many and striking improvements. The summer schedule will go into effect on June 29th, and it will present a service of trains superior in number, speed, and equipment to that of any previous year. The roadway of both the West Jersey and Camden and Atlantic roads have been reballasted and relaid in many portions in anticipation of an improved, accelerated, and increased service, so that the new schedule will find both of the Pennsylvania's Atlantic City lines in prime physical condition.

A large number of express trains is promised, and the very quick time of transit heretofore made between the Delaware and the ocean will he materially reduced. An innovation which hard-working business men will appreciate and the residents of suburban towns and neighboring cities will find most convenient, is a late evening train from Philadelphia. It is proposed that this train shall leave Philadelphia about 6:30 p. after all the afternoon connections are in and all business is over, and arrive in Atlantic City for late supper. It will undoubtedly prove a popular movement, and will oftentimes save much hurry and annoyance.

Another new feature will be a late train up, leaving Atlantic City at 10:30 p. m. for Philadelphia, enabling visitors to spend the evening with friends and return the same night, other fast trains will run at convenient hours of the day in both directions so that every one may find a leaving and arriving hour to his taste. Two new trains of considerable importance have been added to the schedule within the paat early morning train, designed to deliver the newspapers in Atlantic City before breakfast, and the other an early train up for the accommodation of those who would be in before nine o'clock. The equipment of the summer trains will be greatly improved by the use of new coaches and by the substitution of new Altoona-built Parlor Cars, such as are run between New York and Washington, for the old Woodruff Parlor Cars that the march of progress has left behind.

With these superior facilities and the advantages offered by centrally located station easily accessible from from all portions of the city, and in direct connection with Broad Street Station, travel to Atlantic City by the Pennsylvania Railroad holds out to its patrons the strongest inducements of promptness, readiness and comfort. To Farmers, I will be ready to supply Fertilizers for Buckwheat, on Monday June 24th. Send in your orders by mail immediately. JOSEPH HOLSOPPLE, 22my2m Indiana, Pa. Wanted.

Late in 1633, under the command of Samuel Calvert, a natural son of Lord Baltimore, a number of English Roman Catholic gentlemen, with their indentured servants, sailed in the Ark and Dove for Maryland. The emigrants entered the Chesapeake and effected a landing on Feb. 24, 1634. They were courteously received by the governor of Virginia, and tfie inhabitants of an Indian village on the northern shore of the Potomac, near the mouth of a tributary stream, sold their land to Calvert and his followers, the fear of an attack from the Susquehannas compelling 1 them to abandon their homes. The colonists piously named their settlement St Times.

The upper part of the Pennsylvania Canal from Pittsburgh to Johnstown was but imperfecly supplied in dry summers with water from the maugh River, and in 1835 Sylvester Welch, Chief Engineer of the Portage Railroad, recommended the construct- on of a reservoir for a storage of water on the South Fork of the Conemaugh, about eight miles east of Johnstown and two miles from the Portage road. The work of construction was under contract on November 6, 1840, but the resevoir was not then finished, and work was suspended for lack of money until May 1,1851, when was again resumed, and the reservoir was partly completed in 1853, so that water was obtained from it for canal in that year. In 1853 the reaervior was wholly finished. When full it covered and was G5, feet deep, and it would hold 524,000,000 cubic feet of water.

The water of the reservoir was disgorged into the Conemaugh when needed, flowing down to a dam at the head of the canal basin at Johnstown, into which it passed through a short feeder. In 1857 the Western Division of the Pennsylvania Canal was sold to the Pennsylvana Railroad Company, and it was gradually abandoned, the upper part, starting at Jonnstown, being first abandoned. The reservoir was not used after 1S57 for the purposes for which it was originally constructed. For many years after 1857 it was known as "the old object of antiquarian interest only. The Juniata Division of the Pennsylvania was also supplied with water from a reservoir in dry seasons.

This reservoir was also built upon the recommendation of Mr. Welch. It was located on the South Branch of the Juniati, about a mile and a quarter from Holidaysburg. On November 9, 1839, it was placed under contract, and work was commenced in 1840, but at the close of that year work was suspended until 1846, when it was resumed, and the reservoir was completed in 1847. It embraced a dam 30 feet high and 2,670 feet long, covered 450 acres, and held 272,000,000 cubic feet of water.

This reservoir was abandoned when the Pennsylvania Railroad Company abandoned the use of the Juniata Division of the canal, and unlike its Conemaugh namesake no attempt has since been made to repair or change town Tribune. any city of the same sice and bat not a single saloon or place.

This machine was a clumsy wooden affair, and yet many as eighty machines were worked in Paris in 1841, making army dothing, efe, when his establishment was destroyed by a mob and the inventor murdered. The most important ideas of an eye-pouted needle aad a doable fbrcad, or lockstitch, are strictly of AMERICAN ORIGIN and eoneeftedby Walter Hunt, of New York, in Hunt built a machine having a vibrating arm, at the end of which he placed a CTBVED jaeedle, with an near its point.
