Telegrams direit from Johnstown, the princip.il sceno of the devastation wrought by the fearful cataclysm of Friday last, show that the 11 rst reports of the destruction full sheit of the reality, and that llin cala mity was the most aw till in the history of this country.

The estimates of tliu total less et life place it at 8, (it HI te 10,000. The mighty wave that rushed through thoCenomaugh valley en Friday evening cut a swath of death l.'t miles long. In its way lay 0110 of the most thickly populated t eutres el the Ke.v stene state, and w ithlu a low minutes from Iho time the dam at Utke CeueuiHiigh breke houses were roll ing evor ene another in a mail whirl, as they were curried b.v the seething waters ilew n the gergu between the endless hills. 1 At Johnstown the whole teutre of the j tit.v was cut, as if a mammoth ts'the had passed ev er the land.

The wind blew from up stream, ihe air became filled with Iho gruesome odors, until at last th horrors te sight, hearing and smell be cann ee great that persons in the vicinity wer 1 forersl te leave the place. Meanwhlle the greater bulk of the houses had gohe down along the right bank. One mad rush carried away a portion of the atone bridge, and then the flood bore down upon the iiieusaiuls et homes and floated them fur ther westward in thoCenomaugh. It was only n little after 0 o'clock Friday afternoon when the tlrst warning came, and as It hsi been raining heavily all day the chitens of JohnMewn and the iiolghneilug hamlets thought that the slowly rising waters only meant a light flood. Thus the Inhabitants werp either grouped In w Indews or in the open doers watching w hat was exiccted w euld lie an imposing sccuicle but nothing mero. Ne ene socmed te think It necessary that they should take te the hills, ami se nil were caught In the fearful rush. The siieclal correspondent of the Phila delphia Lctlycr reached Johnstown nt 8 o'clock en Saturday night, llocressed the Cenemauch nt Johnstown ever a roie bridge. He says: I walked Inte Saturday from New Flor Fler Flor ence te a place oppesito Johnstevv 11, a dis tance of Four inlles. I describe what I ac tually saw. All along the way IkhIIes were seen lying en the river banks, lu ene place a woman was half buried in the mud, only a limb showing. In another was n mother with her babe ilnsjetl te her breasl. Further along lay a husband and w lfe, their arms wound around each ether's necks. Probably 50 bodies wero scen en that ene side oftlie river, audit must be remembered that here the current was the swiftest and eonsetpiently fewer of Iho dead Isxlies w nre landed among the bushes. On the oppesito sltle bodies could also be been, but they were all covered w it It mud. As I neared Johnstown the wreckage iiecame grauil in Its nmsslve proportions. In order te show the ferce of the current I will say that three miles below Johnstevv 11 I saw 11 grand piano lying en thelmnk, ami net a beard or key wan broken. It must have been lifted en the crest oftlie wave and laid gently nn Iho bank. In another place were two large Iren liellers. They had evidently been treated by the torrent much the same as the piano hail been. The scenes as I nearest Johnstown were U10 most heartrending that man was ever called en te leek upon. Probably .1,000 peeple w ero scattered In groups along the Pennsylvania railroad track, and every one of them had a rolative lying dead either in the wreckage nbove, J n t'" river below or in the still burning furnace. Net a heuse that was Ien standing was plumb. Hundreds of them were burned en their sides and, in soma cases three or four steed oue en top of the ether. Tw e miles from Johnstown, 011 the op ep op eosito side of the river lrem wliere I walked, steed one-half of the vvater works of the Cambria Iren company, a structure that had been built of massive stone. 11 was tilled with planks from he ises and a large abutment of vvreckage was piled up fully 60 root In front of It. A llttfe above, en the saine side, could be seen what was left of the Cambria lien works, which was oneof the finest plants lu the world. The less Is between $2,000,000 te SA&OO.OOO. .Seme of the walls am still standing. II Is true, but net a vesllge of the valuable machinery remained In sight. The two upper portions oftlie works were swept away almost entirely, and under the pieces of fallen iron end weed could be seen the bodies of 40 workmen. James McMillln, the vice presided, says the mill w HI be rebuilt. The Chartlers steel works also went w Ith the Heed. The less Is 'OOO.OOO. At this pelrl there was a benl In t'10 rlv or, and the Ilery fi'rnace, blazing. or a iptarteref a 111II0 wpinie above the slone britlge, 1-11110 Inte view. "My Oetll se. earned a woman, who was hastening up the track, "can it be that any are in t'aore? " " Yes, e or a theiisind," replied a turn, who had just ceme lrem the neigh borhood, ami it is new learned that he esti mated oue thousand tee few. The scenes of misery and aiiflcring and agony ami de spair can hanlly be chronicled. One man. 11 clerk named Woodruff, w as reeling along intoxicated. Suddenly with a frantic shout, he threw himself ever the bank Inte the flood, and would have been carried te his death had he net been caught by sonie persons below. " Let 1110 dle," he exclaimed, w hen they rescued him. " My w ite and children nre geno ; I hav 0 no use for my life." An hour later I saw Wood Weed mil lying en the ground entirely overcome by liquor. Intemperance was a merciful been In his case. Persons w he knew htm said that he had never tasted liquor before. Probably 0 barcls of w hlsky w ere w ashed iishore just below Johnstown, and theso men who had lett everything in this world sought selace in the lley liquid, se it was that as cany as (i e uec u. last night tue shries anil cries of women were intermiiigled with ilrunl.cn howls ami curses. What w 11s w o.-se than an j thing.hew ever, was the fact that Incoming trains from Pittsburg bieuglit hundreds of toughs,who joined with the Slavs and Bohemians in rilling the btslies, stealing furniture, In sulting women and endeavoring control of any rescuing parties that tried te seek the bodies under the bushes and lu the limbs of trees. Tliore was no ene In authority, 110 ene In take command of even a citizens tie'jte, could it have been organized. A law less mob seemed te control this narrow neck of laud that was the only approach te the city of Johnstevv n. I saw persons take watches Irem de.ul men's iiechets and brutally tear linger rings lrem their hands. The ruffians also climbed Inte the overturned houses and ransacked the rooms, taking w hatover thev thought valuable. Ne oue dared check them In this work and consequently the scene was net as riotous as it would have been if the troops had net had sway. In fait, they bcoame beastly drunk after a time and wero seen Ivlug around in a stupor. A FltHIHTI UI. KSTIMATK.

Just ns the shadows began te fall upon the earth Saturday evening n arty et 13 Hungarians w ere noticed stealthily picking their way nleng the banks of the Cono Ceno Cone maugh towards Sang Hellew. Suspicious of their purpose, several farmers armed themselves and started in pursuit. Soen their most horrible fears weie reallrisl. The Hungarians weie out ter plunder. Lying upon the shore they found the tlead and mangled body of a w eman, upon w huse person tliore were a number of trinkets of jewelry and two diamond rings. In their eagerness te secure Iho plunder the Hun garians get Inte a tqunhhle, during which which, were the rings and started en 11 run w un his lean ui prize, 'i no rev nuing nature of the tleed se wrought usti the pursuing farmers, who by this time wero ilose et hand, tlint they gave immediate chase.

Nine oftlie brutes escaped, but four were literally driven into llin surging river and te their death. The In human monster whose atrocious act has I cen described was among the number el Involuntary suicides. Anether Incident of even greater moment has just been brought te net he. At 8:30 e'elcK-k Saturday morning an old railroader who had walked front Sang Hellew stepped up ten number of men who weie ituigro ituigre gated en thn platform station at Curvvens v tlle and said : " Ucutleman, had I a shot gun w ith me half a hour age 1 would new be a murderer, yet with-no fear of evor having te biiflur for my crliiie.
