Thousands of liven Lost Donth mid Jttiln Stnllta itvorvwliiiro. Johnstown, June. C When the large loservoir here bin st on Fuda. death and dtstiuciton lollowed every where, lu five minutes the waters roso forty-flyo feet; above tho roar of tho elements the piercing crjs ot men, women and children, dying In the seething, bodily waters, could be Heard. Tho total loss Is beyond the power of estl mi to. When Superintendent Pitcatrn tetcgrnph cd to Pittsburgh on Friday night that Johnstown was annihilated ho camo very close to the lacts of tho case, although ho i ad not seen tho lll-rateu cltj. xosaymai Johnstown Is a wreck is but slating tho facts of the case. Nothing llko It was ever seen in this country. Where long rows o! dwelling houses and business blocks stood rum and desolation now iclgu supreme. Probably 1,500 bouses have ben swept from the face of tno earth as complo'cli us If they-had never been erected. Main street from end to end, Is piled from llflecn and twenty feet high wit debris, una in some instances It Is as high as tho roofs of the houses. This great mass of wreckage fills the street from curb lo curb, and frequent ly has crushed tho buildings Hi and tilled the spaco of tho remainder of tho terilble calamity. Theie Is not a man in tho place who can give any reliable estimate ot tho number of houses that hayo been swept away. City Solicitor Ktichn, who should bo very good authority in this mailer, places tho number at 1,500. From the woolen mill above tho Island to the bridge, a distance of probably two miles, a strip ot territory nearly n half mile lu width has been swept clean, not a slick of timber or one b.ick on top of another being left lo toll tho story. It Is the most complete wreck that imagination culd portray. Men, women nnd childien weio plodding about the desolate waste looking in yaiti lo locate the boundaries of their former Louies. Nothing but a wldo expanse, of mud, orna mented lure and there with heaps of drift wood, remained, however, for their con templation. It Is petfectly Sato lo say that every house in tho city that was not located well up on tho hillside was either swcpl completely away or wrecked so badly that rebuilding will bo absolutely necessary. Theso losses, however, aro nothing com pared lo the frightful sacrifice of picclous human lives to be seen on every hand. During all this solemn week Johnstown has been drenched with tho leais of slrlck en mortals, aud the air is filled with sobs and sighs that como from breaking hearts. Tliero aro scenes enacted here eyery hour and every minute that affect all beholders profoundly. It'hcu homes arc thus torn asunder In an Instant, and the loyed ones hurled from U13 arms of loving and devoted mothers, there Is an element of sadness in ti o tiagedy that overwhelms every heart. An utterly wretched woman named Mrs. Fenn stood by a muddy pool of water try ing lo find somo tiaco of a once happy home. Sha was half crazed with grief, and her eyes were red and swollen. As the writer stepped to her side, she raised her palo and haggard faco and remarked: "They nru all gone. Oh, God, bo merci ful to them. My husband and my seven dear llttlo children have beeii swept down with the flood, and I am left alone. We were driven by the awful flood Into tho gar ret, but tho water followed us tuere. Inch by inch it kept Using until our heads were crushing against the roof. It was death to remain, oo 1 raised a window nnd oue bi one placed my darlings on some drift wood trusting to the great Creator. As I abor ted the last one, niy sweet little boy. he looked at me and said: 'Mamma, you al ways told me that the Lord would caro for me, and, with a prayer on my Hps for his deliverance, he passed from sight foreer. 1 lie noxt moment the roof crushed in, and floated outside, to bo rescued fifteen hours later from the roof of a house In Keruvllle. If I could only find one of my darlings I could bow to the will of God, ut tbev all aro gone. I have lost evurv- thlng on earth now hut my life, and I will return lo my old Virginia homo aud lay me town for my last great sleep. A handsome woman, wltu hair as black as a rave)'s wing, walked through tho do pot where a djzen or moro bodies' wero awaiting burial. Passing from ono to an other, she finally lifted the paper coveting irom the lace ot a woman, jonng, and with traces ot beauty showing through the stains of muddy water, and with a cry of anguish she reeled backward to bo caught by a rug ged man who chanced to bo passing. In a moment or so she had calmed herself suf- ilcently to take one more look at tho fea tures of her dead. She stood gazing at the corpso as if dumb. Finally turning away with another wild burst ot grief, she said: Ana her beautiiui hair all matted and her sweet face so bruised and stained with mud and water." Tho dead woman Was the sister of tlie mourner. The body was placed in a collin a few minutes later and sent away to lis narrow houso. these Incidents aro but fair samples of the scenes familiar at every turn lu this stricken city.

A Trilmtn to Carbon County Soldier. Hon. E. M. jlulharon.of Jauch Chunk, In concluding a highly patriotic and flow ery address to tho John D. Berlolcttc Post, 484, G. A. R., and a largo assemblage of people on Decoration Day in this borough, paid tho following glowing tribute lo Cat bou county soldiers who foughtfor tho per petuation of freedom's Inalienable privil eges: It was In onr gloomiest hour, when our rights and liberties wore almost In their death throes, that tho braye men and wom en of theso Northern and Western states rose In their majcsti and might vowed un der God that the liberties of these States should not be suppressed. Religion called her woislilppers oach day to prayers and unfurled the flag upon her temples. The field of battles and hospitals saw fair wom en binding wounds and consoling tho dy ing. Men of every rank and profession in life, united In one thought and for tho pur pose lo gallantly volunteer In the ranks of their country, to go form and fight the bat tles that would suppress the rebellion and preserve tho Union of our forefathers. The. record of tho Carbon county soldier com mands admiration. From the first battle at Falling Water, in Urest Va., in 1801, to the surrender of Lee, at Appomatox In 1805, 05, there was scarcely a battlo fought but witnessed the fall of some brave Carbon county soldier. On the Peninsula when fell Miller, Connor, Shcrloch, Abbott, aud a host of others. At Spottslvanla In tho long struggle for tho capture of Richmond when fell Musselman, Fenstermacher, Mos ser, Hagenrlch, and Zimmerman. At Gettysbiug, Auiietam, Fredericksburg, and on hundreds of other battlefields where such men as Captain' H'cbb, Whlttlngham, Raudenbush, McCormick, Moulthrope, Mcliclyey, Bohn, Gumberts, McDaniels, Graver, ,Longkainuier, Hoffecker Rein smith, and Patterson bled and won Imper ishable laurels. Iam, therefore, eminent ly pleased lo be with, you and patticipato In the imposing ceremonies of this day anil hour. Tho elevated and patriotic purposes of tho occasion must Invest it with a pleas ing and peculiar attraction to us all. What is it that brings together this gathering of people from Lehlghton and vicinity? Is it not to strew the graves of the departed heroes with tho new and fragrant born flowers of spring- and commemorate the courage, the patriotism, the trials and vir tues that Invest with a peculiar charm and dignity the life-sacrifices and battlefield scenes of tho soldiers? Is it not to perpel uato and Iteep green the names and ser vices of the noblo and true heroes who gal lantly went forth, during a time of danger such as no other nation passed through? Is it not lo decorate with the sweet pertumes of flowers the graves of our loyed and de parted heroes and also to shed a tear over tho moss-covered mounds of all that re mains of them? Yes, tho memories of the soldiers of Lehlghton and ylclnlty who fought-the battles and helped save tho Re public from the destroying hand of a deep ly laid and long premeditated rebellion, must bo sacred in tho hearts of tho people. In all tbo universe there. is not ono spec taclo which surpasses In moral grandeur the self-abnegation of tho private soldier, his courage Inspired by no hope of distinc tion, his Hfe devoted to tho services of his country, or his death made glorious as a sacrllico lo freedom. Therefore, deeply solemn and touchingly beautiful Is tho cer emony which the nation performs to-day. Alitlionlnp; Items.
