FIRK AND WATER.

From time immemorial one of the greatsubjects for debate in every debating so-

ciety has been, which is capable of do--5 :: the greater amount of damage, (ire or

aler ? At first blush the palm is usuallyi:ven to Are, but a little investigationt ??net ally decides in favor of water. This

e think, will be fully verified by the1 inutes of all such societies. ?

11 a vote could be taken upon the ques-r 'in by the thousands who have seen

a ii.it water has done as a destroyingigent, in Johnstown and vicinity, itwould be unanamous in favor of water.To-day, if Johnstown and all the towns ofthe whole valley had been swept from theface of the earth?if all vestiges of mills,residences, stores and shops had been lit-erally burnt up, the place and its sur-roundings would be infinitely better off.Not one life would have been lost to everyone hundred that has been carried awayl>v the flood. In a confiagnration therei c far more favorable prospects of escapethan in the face of a deluge.

And so as to property, suppose streets

would have been totally denuded ofbuildings by fire, they would not havebeen filled with millions of cart-loads ofdebris j nor c overed to the depth of sev-

eral feet with sand. As to cellars, thebrick falling in some of them would havebeen removed in a comparatively shortperiod of time, and at the expenditure ofvery little money. One hundred men

could have done far more in removing ob-structions caused by burning, than five or

!cn thousand have been able to do inclearing off the stuff left by the flood.Then again, the many thousand dollarsspent in the herculean task of freeing theriver at the sloue bridge would liaye beensaved.

People who tnlk about a comparison between the ravages of a fire and those ofa flood, have but little conception of thedifference between them. The two maybe contrasted, but compared, never.

Further, if we had been burnt out losteverything, houses, furniture, clotlung.stores, offices, shops, and stables,the hundred thousands that would havebeen realized ou insurances would havecone far to putting most ail ou their feetagain. Very little material aid fromabroad would have been required to causethe town to rise again like the fabulousPhoenix from its ashes. But, alas, thedregs of the flood do not contain therein-snents of a new life.

Burnt out Pittsburgh in 184, 1), and (ire

swept Chicago at a later period, that wereso soon rebuilt, are not parallel eases. As*new world was made by the Noah del-uge, so a new Johnstown must be createdand not rebuilt. The word "rebuild "isnot of place when applied to the towns

ef the flood-ruined Conemaugh valley.

A I'LKA 1-OK HOME PATRONAGE.

While we have had no disposition toindulge in any unfavorable comments ofthe work done by our State authorities,and no wish now to utter a word thatcould be construed into anything likecarping criticism, we think somethingihould be said in favor of a little homeprotection, which, as we understand it, isa favorite plunk in all tariff platforms.Awarding full credit to those who have

At first the difficultyof procuring work-ing implements, teams, wagons, caits,and hands made it somewhat necessaryto give contracts to parties who had suchmeans at hand; but now that facilitiesarc abundant for procuring them, the ne-cessity for sucli n course does not exist.

AVe have in Johnstown men who havebeen accustomed to handle successfullylarge bodies of men in various depart-ments of work, and who are equal to thetask of undertaking and performing anyenterprise connected with cleaning up ourwaste places or in erecting buildings.And being 011 the ground and familiarwith all our local affairs we hazard noth-ing in saying they can do the work nowrequired better and at less expense thanny contractors from abroad.

Ifwe are correctly informed a perfectly-csponsiblc citizen proposed to do workAllotted to strangers at a much less ex-pense than is to lie paid, and in a shorterperiod of time. Not only he but othermen in town could utilize bodies of men'distributed in smaller gangs) to much

better advantage and less expense thanthe hundreds concentrated in one placeby some of the contractors from abroad.

But even if our home men could not dolie work any quicker, better or cheaper,the principle of patronizing home talent*nd home labor should be obtained.

For general work?for doing it well,expeditiously and economically no com-munity lias any superiors to A. J. Haws,or Mr. James, and others that might benamed. Their well-known ability, as wclas their push and get up and their uniformsuccess in the past, are guarantees suffi-cient. And as builders and contractorswe have in Messrs. Rose & Son, Mr. B.P. Horner, Mr. Seigh, Mr. Bcuford, Mr.J. J. Strayer, Mr. Teeter, and others theequals, at least, of any that have or couldbe imported.

Aside from ull this the fact that theyhave all suffered severely by our vyashout,

sught not to be overlooked.

(T is the opinion of some of our peoplewho were saved on buildings,and had fjtv-oruble opportunities for observation, thatnot Dearly l as many houses would have"been destroyed if it had not been for the'urge box cars that struck them. Somestructures that withstood the shock ofothers that came against them were mow-ed down like gras before the scythe whenthe- heavy cars struck them.

JOHNSTOWN'S PAUL HKVERE

Daniel Siliert Wan the Man Who Kto<leDown the Valley to Warn the Teople.

Daniel Sibert was the true Paul Revereof the Johnstown flood, according to astory told by Mr. J. P. Wilson, Superin-tendent of the Argyle Coal Company at

South Fork. Mr. Wilson says : "Aboutnoon on the day of the flood, the incess-ant rain and the unprecedented rise in theConemaugh and South Fork rivers,

caused tne to fear that the dam would bein danger, and about noon I sent DanSibert on horseback to learn the conditionof the dam. He returned about at 12:80o'clock and reported that a little water

was running over the dam. Later in theafternoon I observed that the waters inthe streams were not subsiding, and, fear-ing more than ever that the dam wouldburst, I again sent Sibert to the dam. Hewas gone but a short time when he re-turned, riding at full speed, and reportedthat the water had broken through thedam about twelve feet from the top andwas running out in a stream about thesize of a barrel. I knew then that it wasbut a question of time until the damwould give way, and making allpossible haste, I went to the Pennsylva-nia Railroad signal tower across the bridgeand sent a message, saying: "The damis breaking. Lookout!" The lady op-erator laughed at me when I gave her the

message, and an engineer in the tower at

the time said there was 110 danger. I in-duced her to send it, however, and then Iwalked out of the tower, across the rail-road and up the steps to the tramroad.I had just reached that point when Iheard the Hood coming. I called to thepeople in the tower, and at last, whenthey saw it, they hastened from the build-ing. the operator ran up the steps andthe engineer ran to his engine near thetipple. He cut his engine loose, and,pullingthe throttle wide open, rushed upthe track. Just as he was crossing thebridge the flood struck the tender of theengine. The bridge was carried awaybut the engineer escaped.

" When Sibert came from the dam thesecond time the people living in the low-er portions of South Fork hastily heededhis warning and escaped. Altogether 38houses, occupied by 43 families, were de-stroyed. The fact that only two personswere drowned shows that Sibert's warn-ing was well heeded. At the time mymessage was going over the wires, a rela.tive of mine, employed on the railroad,was in the Mineral Point signal tower.Realizing what the warning meant, hehastened to the village and gave thewarning. All of the residents of thatplace except 14 escaped. Three yearsago, when Superintendent Pitcairn, ofthe Pennsylvania road went with me toinspect tlie dam, he told me that if everthere was any danger a break I was tonotify him at once. 1 did so, and amglad to know that my warning saved somelives, at least."

?' IIKAKTfailure," as a cause of death,has become almost as common an ex-pression with medical men as " malaria"in connection with sundry ills to whichflesh is heir. An exchange says: "Itwould be an excellent idea if physiciansof the present day would invent some

other reason for about all of thedeaths which occur nowadays than thecheap fraud 'heart failure.' This mightnot be ot serious moment were it not forthe fact that hundreds of people are be-ing nearly frightened to death by the con-

stant use of this cause for sudden deaths,and many persons who are sick, andnecessarily have some heart symptoms,are kept in constant terror by cither read-ing or hearing of death by heart failure.There are probably no more deaths fromheart failure in these times than hereto-fore : but a new cause for death has beencoined, and the nervous and timid are be-ing severely injured by it."

A COXVICT in the Eastern penitentiary,whose name and offense the prison ruleswill not permit to be made kown, hasproved himself a-man of sense and feeling,lie had saved fifteen dollars by workingovertime and wanted to give it all to theJohnstown sufferers, but the warden re-

fused to accept more than five dollars.A Tennessee gentleman named Proudlit,

struck by the contributions of the priso-ners in the penitentiary stilt to GovernorDenver two checks ?one for SI,OOO forthe sufferers and another $5 for the priso-ner who hud subscribed that amount.The Governor transmitted the latter toWarden f'assidy, but when the sum was

offered to the prisoner he indignantly re-jected it, saying that the $5 that he gavewas his own and tliat he did not want anyconsideration from anyone for giving hisown money.

ONE of tlic most conspicuous and sad-dest features of our disaster was the ter-

rible destruction of child life. In proportion the children were the greatest suf-

ferers. On the other hand, one of thenoblest features of the relief work hasbeen the work of children. Thousands ofdollars have been raised by them in Sun-day Schools and Mission bands. Many ahoarded treasure of bright pennies busbeen gladly given by little folks all overthe land, whose hearts were touched bythe stories of suffering nnjl destitution 111

John Gallagher,of Derry Station, Westmoreland, yester-day afternoon/-- The boy is aged aboutthree years, ami about three months agohad an attack of pleurisy wicli formed acollection of pus in the chest cavity. Theoperation was entirely successful, over apint and a half of pus being removed.

THK LAST KXGINK TO CIHXS THE

BUIDOE.

Kng)llPr Hutch Clifford KMHIOH His Kx.

perittiiuethe Evenliif; of Ihn Grout Flood.

T). A. Orr, of Chambersburg. was inI'hiladelphia (ffew days ago, and touch-ing on the Johnstown horror, from thescene of which lie had just returned,said :

" I see that one of your city papers, re-ferring to the saving of James Kelly anddozens of others by the engineman whodashed through Johnstown in advance of

the flood, says : They fled to the lullsand waited. They saw the unknown en-

gineer fleeing along the track, with the

flood racing behind him; they do not

know nor does any one there know to thisday who lie was or whether he ran out.

The daring engineer who plucked cour-

age from danger's bold face was HughClifford, in charge of freight engine No.048, and he kept ahead of the sweep. Isaw him last Monday, and with becomingmodesty lie told me his story, running

something like this;??

' I was at Conemaugh when the oper-ator there received a message that the

dam had broken. I knew what that mightmean, for I was nwtne of the enormousvolume of water its banks up lo thattime had held in control. I had not a

moment to lose, as thoughls of the people

and friends as far as Lockport, twenty

miles away, that i might save, thickenedupon me. I leaped to my engine, to

which was attached four freight ears, andstarted on my ride witli a full head of

steam. For the first time in my life Iwent ahead without orders. I heard thedreadful roar behind me and felt thatmine was a race to save many lives. Iwas afraid to look back for fear of beingappalled by what I had undertaken. Isped down the grade, my whistle scream-

ing and bell ringing, whileculled to hundreds, shouting and makingmyself heard as best I could : ' Get to thehills! The dam has broken!' Along bythe track at Johnstown some workmenjeered me and others cried with oaths :' Let it break!' But I warned all I could.

" Mine was the last engine to cro?3 theJohnstown bridge. I think I was thereabout twenty minutes ahead of the flood,and while my locomotive did its best, inmy fear for the safety of those I had yetto reach, I felt at times that the wheelswere not moving. On I sped past Cam-bria City, Sang Hollow, Ninevah and NewFlorence; cn until I reached Loekport,where my brothers and their families live.There 1 stopped, alarmed all I could, hur-ried our people to the hills, and soon thegreat wave had caught up with me. If Isaved many, as they suy Idid, I am satis-fled. I don't soe that I deserve praise fordoing what I thought was the best to do.This was not the safest for myself, 1agree, but I thought then rather of the

hundreds I might help than of my ownsecurity.'

" Hugh Clifford, who rode down thevalley ou his iron steed, unlike Sheridan,

in front of his enemy instead of behind,on that fateful Friday, was not then a

hero for the first time. It was this pluckyfellow, then a fireman only twenty yearsof age, who. some eight years ago,avertedan awful wreck and loss of life. Hefound the freight train hewas on, a train of twentyloaded cars, speeding down the easternslope of the Alleghenies at Allegrippus,deserted by the engineer and crew, allsave Fireman Clifford. The engineerdeemed the train beyond control, and,signaling danger, jumped from his en-ginne, and with the remainder of thecrew, except the young fireman, fled.He might, too, easily and safely havejumped as did the rest; hut he knew thedanger and death that it would cause as

it would dash into the Altoona yards un-manned, Clifford, with a full realizationof his risk, saw that the engine was re-versed, then ran hack the full length ofof the train, breaking each car as he went,and soon, though it seemed hours to him,he had brought the train to a stand stilland was able to take it safely to Altoona.Clifford never fired after that day. Thenext morning he was made an engineer.And now the hero of Allegrippus has won

new laurels in the Valley of the Cone-mmigh ! Paul Hevere's ride seems a

pleasure gallop when its story is toldalong with Hugh Clifford's."
