THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D. C.. TUESDAY. JUNE 11, 1889. CITY AND DISTRICT. F No other paper published has anything like half as many readers in the city of Wash- ington as bas Tae Evesrxe Star, and no other one has yet supported its claims by an affidavit Of ite circulation. THE NEW WATER SUPPLY. No Work Done in May Except to Pro- tect the Shaft Openings. Col. Wilson's monthly report of operations on the work of increasing the water supply, for May, states that no work was in progress other than that of protecting the openings of the shafts. The pumps were stopped at Rock creek on the 28th of March, and since then the water has steadily increased in depth until, on May 4, the shaft—51 feet deep—was full, and the water was running out of it into the creek. The old buiidizgs around the new reservoir, no longer of any use, and dilapidated in their character, have been sold at public auction aud are being removed. SIN RELATION TO THE NEW WATER MAIN, Col. Wilson states that proposals were invited for a bridge for taking the 48-inch main across Rock creek, but no bids were received. Plans | will at once be prepared for a truss of proper Sinenslons and proposals will again be invited. It is proposed during the month of June to continue the preparation of detailed plans, to make contracts for trenching. lead, and jute, to continue the casting of pipe and the con- struction of valves at the foundries, to com- mence receiving and hauling the pipe to the line of the trench, and generally to continue the preliminary operations necessary before opening the trenchies. THE HIGH OL BATTALION. The Annual Drill to Take Place To- morrow Afternoon. ‘The battalion of High School cadets will give their annual parade and drill to-morrow after- noon in front of the Arlington hotel. They will leave their armory at the high school at about 6:30, and after a short march through some of the streets of the northwest, headed by the na- tional guard band, will halt in the plaza in front of the hotel and perform the evolutions of dress parade, together with such battalion and company movements as cen be executed in that space. This has been the custom of the cadets for several years past, and is the final act of their drill year. The corps has shown unusual Proficiency this year, under the direction of Capt. Burton R Ross, of the Light Infantry, and he proclaims this the best battalion he ever handled, so that a fine exhibition of sol- dierly conduct and drilling may be expected. In former years this event has attracted large crowds of people to the spot. LATE MARYLAND NEWS. Potomac Flood Suiferers—Real Estate Transactions—Personal Notes, Etc. Correspondence of Tur EVENING Star: Freperick, Mp., June 9. Frederick came promptly to the aid of the Potomac and Monocacy flood sufferers who are | in need, and has contributed constantly and liberally to the work of relief. Col. Wm. H. Love, Col. John C. Legg, and Mr. Adolph Duerrel, allof Baltimore, came here afew even- ings ago, and after consulting with Messrs. J. D. Baker, D. C. Winebiener and J.Wm. Baugh- man, relative to a systematic method for the relief of the sufferers, left for Frederick Junc- tion, where they joined a train to which was attached a carload of provisions and supplies sent from Baltimore. Under the guidance of Mr. J. Wm. Baughman, the supplies were ju- diciously distributed to the needy people all along the B. and O. road trom Point of Rocks to Harper's Ferry and beyond. PERISHED AT JOHNSTOWN. It is believed that a brother of Henry Boller andacousin of Mrs. M. Lentheman, of Me- chanicstown, this county. were among the drowned at Johnstown, and the same fear is felt and has been confirmed in regard to at least a dozen more families, formerly residents of this section. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS, ‘There were a number of interesting real estate transactions in this county last week. What is known as Rhiel’s mill, situated on the Linga- more, a few miles from this city, was sold by the former owner, Mr. A. J. Delashmutt. to Frank J. Lewis. The price paid was $5,500. Mr. A. J. McKenna, of Buckeystown, bought of Mr. R. Suman the Bucke depot property for $1,500. Outerbridge Horsey, trustee, has sold the farm of H. B. Shroeder, near Petersville. to Josephus and Tilghman Harley, the consideration being #10,092. Eliz- abeth Gartrell et al.on Saturday deeded to Emory E. Dayhoff a tract of 190 acres of land in this county, the price paid being $4,000. On Saturday Elive Zimmerman purchased at pub- lic sale here a farm of nearly 100 acres, located near Feagasvilie. for which he paid #1,050. ‘The property belonged to the estate of the late Geo. Zimmermann. At the same time J. W. Comm bought for $80 6 acres of timber land. PERSONAL AND SOCIAL. Asa prelude to the annual commencement exercises of the Frederick female seminary, which began Monday evening and concludes on Thursday, a delightful dance was given in Col- legiate hall Fri night by the senior class, earl A. Keyser. a well-known Washington ar- tist, has accepted a position as instructor of art at the Academ Summer Visitors have begun to arrive. Among the first to come are Prof. Brookes and family, of Johus Hopkins university, Balti- more. They are quartered at the Curlin House. Mr. Luther Kuhiman has returned from Balti- more, where he attended the session of the Women’s Home and Foreign missionary society. Among the Fredericktonians absent on trips of pleasure are: J. Oliver Holtz, at Coleridge, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs. John Holderaft, Baltimore; Mr. and Mrs. Charies Shafer, Manchester, Ind.: Edward Elkins and family, Baltimore; R. Henry A. Koogle, Cedar Vale, Kans.; James W. Palmer and wife, Dayton, Ohio. TWO SAD DEATHS oceurred last week. Jeannette, the nine-year old daughter of Joshua S. Motter, of Emits- burg, died from lockjaw, caused by running a splinter in her foot several weeks ago. Paul Brensen, an estimable young man died on Fri- day. He had been taken to the Baltimore Uni- Yersity hospital to be treated for a complicated disease. He was twenty-two years old and un- married. He was prominent in St. John Cath- olic church here aud was an officer in several Of the church societies A SAMOAN SURVIVOR. Dr. S. S. White, son of John White, of the Moreland stock farm, near Adamstown, this ccunty, returned home last week. He was surgeon on board the United States steamship ‘Trenton, during the disaster in Samoan water, aud was amoug the saved. A RICH FIND. The happiest maa in Frederick is Wm. R. Steiner, a prominent phosphate man and agri- cultural implement dealer. He recently pur- chased s farm on the Spout Spring road, three fourths of a mile from Frederick, im a 40-acre field of which he found a few days ago a rich deposit of ochre clay acres and calculated to develop about a million tons. A sample was sent to Dr. P.-B. Wilson, professor uf chemistry, &c.. in the Baltimore University school of medicine, who, after a careful analysis, pronounced it to be ochre of the finest quality. It 1s Mr. Steiner's pur- pose to buy machinery for grinding and burn ing the ochre, and he will endeavor to organ- | ize a stock company for the erection of a mix- ing mill. MISCELLANEOUS, The members of the United steam fire en- gine company, of Frederick, have organized among themselves a drum corps of 16 pieces, and are holding frequent dr:!is in preparation for a visit to Martinsburg. W. Va., on the 4th of July. Clinton Moberly is leader of the drum On Saturday fourteen members of the Dunk- ardcburch left here over the Baltimore and Ohio for Harrisonburg, Va., to attend the an- mual conference there next week. A larger number will leave here to-morrow. The republican voters of Creagerstown, this county, have selected a postmaster there to succeed the democratic incumbent, Mr. J. A. P. Matthias.

OTHERS, HOWEVER, PLACE 8,000 as THE LOWEST NUMBER—CARELESSNESS IN RECORDING THE DEAD BODIES RECOVERED AND IDENTIFIED— GEN. HASTINGS TO ASSUME ENTIRE CHARGE. It is generally believed that there are now missing and dead in the Conemaugh valley about 10,000 people. Gov. Beaver's estimate of the dead does not exceed 5,000, but others ad- here to the belief that not less than 8,000 human beings perished in the flood. ‘The refugees are living in tents and crowded into houses of friends on the hills. Debris is piled high all over Johnstown proper, with the exception of a wide swath along the Cone- maugh, swept clean of houses, but which is four or five feet deep with sand. The debris holds decaying vegetable and animal matter, and the acres of debris remain above the bridge send- ing forth atall times the strong and almost overpowering odor of decay. Many of the houses of Kernville and of Hornersville, which escaped total wreckage, are breeding places for | disease, the cellars are full of mud and decay, and among them sickness is gradually increas- ing. The sanitary conditions are almost beyond description, and with the hot summer just be- ginning, it will be a marvel indeed if contagion does not run riot. THE CHANGE TO-MORROW. To-morrow Gen. Hastings will assume entire charge of the work of clearing up the debris. Affairs have been run very loosely so far and it now appears that there is no official record even of the bodies buried. The morgue keep- ers have been very derelict in this respect and there has been no central bureau to which re- ports have been sent. This will be changed now. The morgues will be required to report every victim hereafter, a general description of each will be entered up, and an attempt will be made to locate all unreported victims. A census of the valley was completed a few d. before the flood. ‘It showed a population in the death-stricken region of 6,000, If possible every name will be looked after, and the resi- dents of Johnstown will be asked to aid in the work, The day is past when the discovered dead can be kept any length of time for identitica- tion. Frightful scenes at the morgue bear tes- timony of this. The keepers say that as soon as the air strikes the bodies now it becomes almost impossible to handle them, and the sooner they are buried the better. There were over fifty new fages on the slabs atthe morgues st night. and a record shows that up to noon Sunday, which was just a week from the time the morgues were established, there were 1,492 people buried from them, without counting the dead in the valley, at Nineveh, New Florence, and elsewhere. “There were a great many also Luried who were never taken to these morgues. DANGER OF A PESTILENCE, The health officer is issuing bulletins stating that there isno danger of an epidemic, and everything is being done to inspire confidence in the people, but the hard, warm rain which poured down on this most miserable of places yesterday morning and the hot sun which beat down in the afternoon increased the variety of stenches which have already made breathing a difficult and disagreeable task. The bodics which are now coming to the surface of Stony creck and those which are being brought out of its foul debris above the bridge have materially increased the danger of the epidemic which has threatened to overwhelm the place. During the past week at least twenty survivors of the tlood have died of the diseases left in its wake, and no one can tell, if the present weather continues, the fearful mortality which is bound tocome. While every effort is being made to discount the statements that sickness is rapidly increasing. it is apparent to those the reports have not greatly been exaggerated, Kernville, Johnstown, Hornersville, aud Cam- bria now smell like au immense hospital owing to the liberal use of disinfectants. Care is also being taken to have the contagious cases iso- lated, THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION. There is serious concern over the gravity of the situation at Johnstown, according to the correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, who says: Gov. Beaver may be able easily to raise 1,000,000 to pay men to clean Johnstown, but to get the men to do the work will be quite a different thing. It is plain that unless some- thing unforeseen occurs Wednesday morning, when the responsibility will be shifted from the shoulders of a dozen men to the shoulders of one, it will find Adjt.-Gen.° Hastings the executive of that one man h less than one- fifth the force that has all week long been striv- ing to clear the town. This f of volunteers have all day long been dropping their tools and leaving Johnstown sickened and disgusted. More will go during to-morrow and with even- ing scarcely a corporal’s guard will be left with- in the town. General Hastings has been in commauication with Governor Beaver over a | special wire all night long. and at miduight he frankly admits that he does not kuow where the men are'to come from who are to take up the work on Wednesday morning. If he does not get them promptly the delay will be fatal to Johnstown uuless the torch is applied to the whole city, as it has been to the drift at the stone bridge, which is blazing fiercely to- night. THE CAMBRIA COMPANY'S ACTIVITY. The Cambria company has pushed the work of getting its affairs into order with great rapidity, and aside from the starting of the biast furnaces, the machine, boiler and black- smith shops, it is declared by the company that steel rails will be rolled before the end of June. A very careful examination of the new steel plant made yesterday by experts showed that it was not injured. It had beencompleted shortly before the flood at a cost of £300,000. No. 2 rolling mill is nearly ready for work. The time oftice is open with full hands, and is in full operation, as well as the draughtsmen’s | room. The First National bank, in which the | company was interested, is open, and the safes bave been found to be ali right. The rod mill, which will be running in two days, will turn out 120 tons of finished material a day. ‘The blowing engines of the blast furnaces are being rapidly put in shape, and it has been ascer- tamed that they were not badly injured. The company’s store was cleaned out yesterday and will open to-day ready for business. Married in Spite of the Flood. One week ago Miss Sarah B. Duncan was a homeless wanderer 6n the hills of Johnstown, thinking herself the only survivor of her family. At 5 o'clock last evening Miss Duncan, arrayed in bridal robes, and surrounded by all her family, linked her fortunes with Albert J. Warden, of Sharpsburg. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's father in Allegheny, immediately after which the bridal party went to the groom's pleasant home in Sharpsburg. The bride’s father, D. L. Dun- Was superintendent of the Johnstown street railway system, aud lost all of his prop- erty. The family were caught in the flood, but all escaped, althongh they were separated for hours, and each thought the others dead. Lightning’s Terrible Work. From various sections of New England come reports of a heavy thunderstorm yesterday afternoon which did considerable damage. At Marlboro’, Mass., Charles Butler's house was struck by lightning, the chimney demolished and the occupants stunned. At Contoocock, N. H., twenty-seven telephone poles were shat- tered. At Keene roads were badly washed, telephones burned out and the South Keene Railroad depot was struck by lightning. At Dover, N. H., the storm was very severe. The Belknap church steeple was set on fire, causing a slight loss; the callendering-room of the Cocheco print works were nearly ruined by lightning, aud a bolt entered the composing- room of the Daily Democrat, doing no great damage, but badly frightening the compositors, Fred Pierce, a clerk in Higgins’ market. re- ceived a shock, and is not expected to live.

Another Confederate General Indulges in Foolish Talk. Gen. Thos. 8. Rosser delivered a bitter speech before the Confederate memorial association at Staunton, Va. Saturday. He said the differ- ence between northern and southern monu- ments was that in the south they were erected over graves to virtue and patriotism, and in the north, by pharisaical Yankees, to enhance real estate, and over the graves of bounty-jumpers, and hirelings, and empty graves. And they expected God Almighty and the angel Gabriel to resurrect their lies, Southern soldiers fought for the rights of states and the integ- rity of homes; for virtue and patriotism; the northern man for pelf, plunder, and pay. In 1861 the integrity of the southern states was in danger, They withdrew to secure peace and prosperity. “The southern people are Saxon, the northern people Celt,” said Gen. Rosser. “I chuckle over the results arising from so- cialism and anarchism in the north, from which we are free. It has been said we are the same people, but that was a long time ago. Now evolution or some process has made us different creatures, and soon capital and op- — manhood will flee to the south where onest men can protect them. [Applause.] The world will see that rebels are the only true patriots and supporters of constitutional lib- erty. I approve all the southern confederacy di It destroyed evil forces and established good ones. Its monuments are to truth, pa- triotism, and glory, not brazen images result- ing from blemished hearts and conduct. * * * Long after the brazen images in Washington and elsewhere have been thrown down, and the G.

Extraordinary Vicissitudes ot Fortune in the Career of the Noted Banker. New York Letter to the Evening Wisconsi; Among the pushing throng of Broadway to- day was an old gentlemanclad more in the garb of a countryman than that of a great financier, His clothes were plain, and his white slouch hat with its broad brim gave him the appear- ance of awell-to-do farmer, The hair and beard of Jay Cooke is now snow white. but he still moves along as if contented with life. No one familiar with his every-day appearance would think he was the famous banker, the man who has handled more millions than any other private individual in America; failed for more money than any other, and finally has grown rich again after he had grown old. While he is by no means as familiar a figure as he used to be, and does not mingle in the uncertainty of “the street” as of yore, he is more frequently seen among the bustle of business than almost any man of his age. Jay Cooke has had a singular career, When the war broke out he lived out along Lake Erie, at Sandusky, and Salmon P. Chase, while Secri tary of the Treasury, first gave him a big start in life, which he followed to disaster, and then built anew from nothing. Mr. Cooke never for- ee or neglected his home in Ohio, and one of his charities is a beautiful home on an island in Lake Erie, a few miles from Sandusky, which he bought and named “Gibraltar.” He had it laid out in wild, romantic walks, and built a commodious stone castle upon it.’ He provided the house with every imaginable comfort and put into it a competent housekeeper. ‘To this retreat he would invite each summes ministers of the gospel of different denominations who couid idly afford to take a summer vacation. Mr. Cooke lives with his son-in-law now, Mr. banking-house on 3d street, in Philadelphia, over whici Mr. Cooke once presided, aud where the Northern Pacific railroad was projected, In many respects Jay Cooke will go down to his- as one of the remarkable men of our time, little church out at Frankford, near Phila- delphia, he has a son preaching to a congrega- tion who can hardly afford to pay him salary enough to liquidate his horse hire. So the curious turns of life again illustrated in Mr. Cooke's career and in that of the family he has raised. see A Discredited Court. From the Cincinnati Gazette. Washington is becoming a most remarkable court-martial center. Yesterday the sentence in the Armes case was made known, Of course he was dismissed. The President very prop- ly saw fit, on account of many extenuating umstances, to materially modify the sen- tence, and Capt. Armes will be confined to the limits of the District of Columbia and some adjacent territory for the period of five years, and will not wear his uniform within that tims As the case was first presented to the country, Capt. Armes was left without sympathy. He was believed to have been guilty of striking Gov. Beaver, who, with the aid of crutches, goes about on one leg. It seems that Armes, under great excitement, made a pass for the governor's nose, und missed it. This wos ex- ceedingly undignified and altogether inexens: ble, and except for ti the President, but which cause from the court, merited dismissal, Aside from these reasons, the President doubtless he uniformit, which have been submitted for his re ho response ion. In the first. an ofticer of engineers, detailed | for the special duty of superintending the costly and most important project of exiend- ing the water supply of Washington, wholly neglected his duty through a series of years, and to such an extent that, as the time ap- proached for opening the works, they were tound to be utterly useless, and now have been abandoned. The loss to the government ran up into the miilions, The inconvenience to the national capital can not be measured, ‘The frauds in the work, when discovered, were found to be of the gravest character. While they were in progress this oflicer was spending much time about the clubs, and at tissue-paper fox hunts and fashionable receptions, ‘The court which tried him sentenced him to pay the government $100 a month for nine months. | It did not suspend him from duty, and he still stands as detailed for the special work of ex- tending the water supply of Washington, He still flourishes about the clubs and in ultra fashionable society, and is regarded as quite select enough to wear the army uniform. Next President Harrison was confronted with « sentence of two years’ suspension from | rank aud duty, with greatly reduced pay, of a naval officer who, in good faith, left his ship on the Alaska coast to report her condition, in | order that she might be saved. And now, with the extenuating circumstances which surround the Armes case, he sentence of dismissal from the army. Evidently General Harrison, as a lawyer, clearly sees the need of notifying army officers that there must be something approaching uniformity in the action of their courts; or, to express ‘the mat- ter in a modern phrase, that during his admin- istration the punishment must fit the crim So long asa military court composed of offi cers of distinguished standing declares that al- lowing a great government work to be ruined is not an appreciable neglect of duty on the part of an engineer in charge, army officers must not be surprised if the people conceive a tremendous prejudice against these arbitrary courts, ——_—__+ee—____ Theory and Practice.
