WHO GOT THE MONEY? CHARGES IN REGARD TO THE JOHNSTOWN FUND. ■ * ~ ,! • • —a . - It Is Said that Over a Million Dollars Subscrlhed to Help the Sufferers from the Great Flood of 1889 Never Beached th j People for Whom It Was Intended— Charges of Jobbery and Corruption. [New Vork dispatch.] Under a Johnstown, Pa , date the Herald prints a five-column expose of the manner in which the charity fund of $5,000,000 for the relief of the flood sufferers was placed at the mercy of contractors and supervisors, clerks and employes. Following are the leading paragraphs In the Herald's expose: The great flood at Johnstown, Pa., occurred May 31. 1889. It involved the loss of upward of 3.000 human Uvesknd the destruction of $9,000,000 in value of individual property. It left 25,000 survivors homeless and temporarily destitute, many of :them crippled or prostrated by exposure and suffering. The sympathy of the civilized world was aroused by this frightful calamity, and within a few days nearly 55.000.000 was contributed in money for the relief of these runfortunates. besides other millions in provisions, clothings- and general supplies. Three million six hundred aud sixty-four thousand six hundred and twenty-seven dollars and seventy-seven cents of this magnificent contribution was given as a. general fund, to, be distributed withoutlimitation or/restriction for the immediate relief of the sufferers. Os this vast sum the afflicted people were permitted to receive but $2,225,857 in money. The remaining sum of $1,438,750.77 was variously alienated in passing from the donors to the Intended beneficiaries. Nearly $150,000 of it was appropriated by the State Government.- Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was appropriated without authority, to relieve distress in other parts of the State. Spventy-five thousand dollars was appropriated to build elegant permanent bridges a year and a half after the disaster to replace tern’jxtrary ones previously provided from this charity fund. Forty thousand dollars, went to purchase new steath tire engines for the municipality. Thirty thousand dollars was expended during the present year in exhuming the buried victims of the flood, gathering them from the several burial places in the valley and reburying them in a grand cemetery: and other thousands are to be paid for a monument already ordered. Forty thousand dollars was set apart to establish a permanent, hospital after all the injured by the flood had been discharged from medical or-surgical care. \ An undetermined or unannounced sum iskiappropriated to defray the cost of writing and publishing a history of the great J calamity, upon which a professor in the University of Pennsylvania Is now engaged. Other thousands were squandered among contractors, superintendents, overseers and clerks? ■ ■ The record is one replete with evidences of maladministration, political corruption, robbery and Jobbery well calculated to heap disgrace upon the State of Pennsylvania and discourage a similar demonstration of public generosity should an occasion for its display ever again unfortunately occuP. The Herald then proceeds to show that the. fund of $3,604,627 was increased to $4,211,069 by contributions from railroads, churches, secret societies, etc., to say nothing of food, clothing, lumber, medicine atrd other necessaries.- The article continues: Following tire ■ the contributions of a tew of the great cities: New ¥<trk contributed $623,976; Philadelphia, $486,696; Pittstiurg contributed $255,569; Boston contributed $150,763; Chicago contributed $180,573.-. Anti now as to the disposition of the money. Nm3n4pmpt will be made to show the disbursement of what maybe called, the private funds—those contributed "through this churches, the fraternal societies, the railroad companies, and t lie Cambria Iron Company, and other similar agencies, but will deal only with what may be terii.erl the public funds—those contribute 1 for general relief.. These, already shown, amounted to $3,664,627. That money was contributed from the four quarters of tire globe for the relief of human suffering mid distress.' Not one penny of it was given to the great State of Pennsylvania to aid it in discharging tin unusually onerous duty. INor any part of it given to aid ,in building bridges, to equip a fire department, or to Improve its public parks. None, of it Was intended by its donors to build monuments or to endow hospitals for the benefit Os sufferers by possible future calamities. It was no part of the business or duty of those who uhdetook its disbursements to criticise the liberality of the donors and? assume tli'at the amount contributed was greater than the-intended recipients needed or cifuld safely be intrusted with. Their duty began am! ended with tin equitable distribution of the money among the sufferers. t Twelve days after the horrible tragedy ami when it became manifest that an ImmftDise sum of money would be contributed for the relief of. t lie ;sufferers, Gov. Beaver created a commission to acquire cotitrol of this fund till'd manage Its disbursement. It had no representation from the New York t'oinnmlttye and none from the Coiienuiugli Valley, where the distress existed. This fund of $3,269,167 passed under the Commissioners' control. The books show that liut 132,225,877 ever reached the hands of the sufferers of “the Coimmaugh Valley for whose relief alone it was’given. Tills astounding statement, taken directly from official sources, shows an apparent alienation of $1.943,316 of flte money. • Among tho first a<‘ts of the State Commisi tdon, and beforo.it had appropriated eqe dollar for the Johnstown sufferers, whose distress alone had called out the refiiarkable liberality of the country and the world, was to appropriate a lump sum of $250,900 from the general fund for the relief of the sufferers in the eastern part of the State— In the Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys. The money was never given for that purpose. - The next material Item going to make up this great shortage is money expended for supplies. The Commissary General of Pennsylvania, who personally superintended the distribution of food supplies after the State took cnarge. In bi.s official report estimated the money value of the provisions and the "clothing donated at $1,259,000, and yet with such a showing Mr. Kremer.reports the disbursements of the corn in is don for supplies as $61,533.86. And added to this Mr. Kremer reports a further expenditure of '543,931, which he says was for labor in handling supplies and the hire of teams in transporting them. In addition to this the local Finance Committee charges $5,515 expended from its funds for supplies, making a total of $110,980 charged to tills account. The next Item of disbursement the com- ’ mission reports is for “buildings, rent, and labor on buildings; $179,033.’’ Thisoponsup one of the greatest scandals of the administration of this which the correspondent has ample data to establish the most flagrant jobbery and robbery. Paid for the Initial of the dead and, for thie removal of the dead to “Grand View,” including the purchase of -the plot and the appropriation made .for improving tire ground, and for purchasing headstones, $30,485. This item Ute Herald criticises as wrongful, because the victims were all decently buried in the first piafce. This money was used in exhuming the bodies, reebffining them, transporting them to a swell cemetery, and there reinterring them in newly purchased grounds, placing a heavy marble stone a£ the head of each grave, to be followed by the erection of a costly monument—all this while widows and other survivors were suffering. Pertinent Paragraphs. MR. Pattison, Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, has spoken in fifty-seven of the sixty-seven counties of the State. Henry Tljhttn. manufacturer of musical instruments for bands, and the head of tho Distin factory at Williamsport, says there are 15,000. brass bands in this country, with 150,000 performers. Henry W. Sage has added $200,000 to his previous gift of $60,000 for the establishment of a Department of Philosophy in Cornell University. This makes over $1,000,000 which he has given to, this institution.

An Bleetrle Census* In 1837 the first practical telegraph waa worked in England, after a crude attempt made in 1835, on aline of thirteen miles between Paddington and Drayton. In 1844 a telegraph line was opened between Washington and Baltimore. In 1850 a copper wire insulated in gutta percha was submerged between Dover and Calais, and the first submarine telegraph was laid by the late T. R. Crampton. There are how 942 submarine cables, exclusive of the seven Atlantic cables, with an aggregate of 112,740 nautical miles. The overland telegraph is already a world-wide institution, in which there is a total of 1,680,900 miles of wire, enough of the attenuated metal to go around the equatorial belt of the globe just thirty times. The number of words transmitted, the miles traveled, and the cash ■changing hands would tax the enumeration table. The United States have 776,500 miles of wire, and in 1889 no less than 56,000,000 messages were sent through the country. France has 220,890 miles of miles of wire, on which in 1889 were transmitted 30,050,000 dispatches. ' Great Britain has 180,000 miles of metal line, and in 1889 sent 50,000,000 messages. Russia has spun out 170,500 miles, and in 1889 gave the operators 10,280,780 messages to dispatch., Australia has strung no fewer than 105,360 miles of wire across its surface, and transmitted in one year 12,000,000 messages. Italy has 19,500 miles, and has made an ahnual record of about 7,000,000 electric messages. Canada has 58,500 miles of wire, and did a business in 1889 of 4,027,581 dispatches. Egypt has 5,500 miles, and is in connection with India and England by submarine cables, on which last year 1,600,205 communications were carried from one end of the world to the other. China has 5,500 miles of wire across Mongolia, and Japan owns no less than 16,500 miles, over which 5,000,000 messages were sent in one year. New Zealand has strung itself with 11,375 miles of metal cord, and dispatched 1,835,394 messages. Tasmania has 2,500 miles of telegraph wires. Persia claims, in partnership with European* wires, about 6,124 miles. South Africa has a credit of 4,310 miles, and even St. Helena, the island prison of the Great Corsican, has thirteen miles of the universal wire cob webbing its rocks. The telegraph systems of the world have unrolled tne wire reel without stint, and if we add to the 1,688,900 used for telegraph purposes the wholesale appropriation by the telephone system, the sum total would be enormous. The Secret of It. “I see,” said a friend to an acquaintance, “that every time you enter the Climax saloon the proprietor sets up the drinks to you.” “Yes.” “Old friend of yours, eh?” “No, not particularly." “Must think well of you.” “Rather the reverse.” “How do you make that?” “Well, you see I owe him SSO and he is afraid that if he neglects me I won’t pay the bill." “But you don’t intend to pay it any<w.ay. do you ?” “My dear fellow, we always intend to pay. Let’s see who’s on watch in here. If he’s a new man, probably 1 cau stand him off.”—Arkafisaw Traveler. JL, Disease Unaccountably Prevalent. y The prevalence of ailments attributable to miasmatic poison in the air that people broathe, and the water they drink, is well nigh unaccountable. Not alone in pestilential swamps, badly drained suburban districts, and marshes exposed to the sun’s rays by the re. ce lingji.lo, is this scourge of humanity found. Even in great cities, healthfully located, skillfully sewered, well looked after in every respect in a sani'ary way, we find malaria. Its presence is ofton inexplicable, but its attacks are always preventable. The protector- is Hostetter’s btou.a-.li Bitt rs.

PECULIAR INFATUATION. Different Methods of Following: the Injunction “Lore One Another.” Do men ever fall in love with each other? Women do. Not long ago a young woman in New Jersey was married to a youthful laborer on her father’s farm.. Sometime afterward it was discovered that the husband was a female; the young wife refused, however, though earnestly entreated by her friends, to give up her chosen consort. The strangest part of the discovery was the fact that the bride knew her husband was a woman before she was led to the altar. If men do not this strange infatuation for one of their own sex, they at least oftentimes give evidence of the fact that they love one another. There are many instances on record where one man has given his life for another. There are many more instances where men have given life to another. It is a proud. possession—-the knowledge that one has saved a precious human life. Meriden, Conn., is the home of such a happy man. John H. Preston,’of that city. July 11. 1890, writes: “Five years ago I was taken very sick. I had several of the best doctors, and one and all called it a complication of diseases. I was sick four years, taking prescriptions prescribed by-these same doctors, and I truthfully state I never expected to get any better. At this time. I commenced to have the most terrible pains In my back. One day an old friend of mine, Mr. R. T. Cook, of the firm of Curtis & Cook, advised me to try Warner's Safe Cure. as he had been troubled the same way and it had effected a cure for him. I bought six bottles. took the medicine as directed, and am to-day a well man. lam sure no one ever had a worse case of kidney and liver trouble than I had. Before this I was always asainjst proprietary medicines, but not now, oh, no.” , . , • ' 7 Friendship expresses itself in very peculiar ways sometimes; but the true friend is the friend in need.

The Society Paper. It is a sad event when a sickly little society paper published in some ambitious town goes under. Then the visit of some society dude from a neighboring village passes without mention, and the trip of somebody’s head servant girl on a hoss-car passes unheralded and unknown. Os what use for the w ife of the village judge to look “perfectly lovely” in a blue pongee silk, or for the daughter of the leading apothecary to tread the stately measure of the dance in a white tulle overskirt, when there is no longer a society journal to record it? Henceforth, society must depend upon the facetious and uncertain “mentioning” ot their local paper, which has away of mixing up society events, with obituary notices and dog fights.— Texas Siftings. In Many Forms Scrofula taints tho blood of almost every one, and it is the cause of much of our health. If it attacks the breathing organs, the issue is consumption; if the digestive apparatus, the issue is dyspepsia and debility; -if the muscles, the issue is rheumatism; ifjthe nerves, the issue is paralysis: it the glandular system, the issue is in boils apd other superficial exhibitions of corruption. It is a mistake to characterize it as unseen. What festers your skin on every little abrasion? Scrofula. What gives that hack to your cough on exposure to the slightest damp and cold? Scrofula. What makes your food an oppression? Scrofula. What racks and twists the bones and sinews as you grow old? Scrofula. It operates by withholding nutrition and defeating all efforts toward nourishment, life becomes a burden, and the victim knows not the blessings and happiness of health. It is your duty to yourself, your family, and your race to manfully oppose and dislodge this demon. How? We can only say that others who were afflicted as you are haie found relief and cure in a moderate use of Hood s Sarsaparilla, that compound in which the skill of the modern pharmacist and the science of the most advanced medical knowledge unite for the benefit of suffering humanity.

He has used about two dozen bottles, and is still using it. He has gained in weight, color and strength, and is able to do light work.

The vegetable kingdom gives us the best and safest remedial agents. Dr. Sherman devoted the greater part of his life to the discovery of this reliable and safe remedy, and all its ingredients are vegetable. He gave it the name of Prickly Ash Bitten I a name every one can remember, and to the present day nothing has been discovered that is so beneficial for the BLOOD, for the LIVER, for the KIDNEYS and for the STOMACH. This remedy is now so well and favorably known by all who have used it that arguments as to its merits are useless, and if others who require a corrective to the system would but give it a trial the health of this country would be vastly improved.
