Nr.vv Flerksck, Pa., June 1. W. X.
Heys, n Pennsylvania railroad official, has
just returned from Johnstown. He snya
the place Is annihilated, Jjenematigh
wrecked and Cambria City swept away.
Fully 1,200 lives have been lest.
One hundred bodies have been re
covered nt Nineveh. Seventy jcrseus are
reiertxl te liave burned te death In the
fire, nt the Johnstown bridge.
Hang Hellew is the nearest point te
Johnstown that can be reached tills morn
ing. All telegraph communication be
tween these tw e points arc cut en", and it is
yet impossible te secure deflnite Informa
tion. The gray morning light does net seem te
hew either hope or mitigation of the awful
fears of the night. We are at New Florence,
14 miles from the scene of destruction at
Johnstown. It has been a hard night te
evcryliedy. The weary, ever-worked news
paper men who bav e been without rest and
feed since yesterday afternoon, and the
operators who hae handled the messages,
nre even new prearing for the work ofthe
lay. There 1ms been n long vv ratigle ever
the possession of a special train for the
press, between the rival morning papers
and it has delayed the w erk of ethers w he
re anxious te get farther cast.
Even here, be far from the washed out
towns, the horror is in our midst. Seven
bodies have been found en the shore near
this town, tw e being In a tree, a man and
a woman, w here the tlde had carried them.
The country people are coming into the
rows centres in large numbers, telling
sterici of disaster along the river banks In
sequestered places.
THE PEOPLE WAIUVED.
But They Remained lu Johnstown te lte
Swallowed My the Floed.
Jehn McCarthy, a carpenter, w he lives
in Johnstown, reached New Florence
at half past 4 yesterday and says the scene
when he left was indescribable. People
hid been warned early in the morning te
move te the highland, but they
Old net need the warning, although It whs
repeated a nuuiber of times up te 1 o'clock,
when the water poured into the cinder
street several feet deep. Then houses be
gun rocking te and fro and Anally the
force of the current carried buildings
across streets and vacant lets and dashed
them against each ether, breaking
them into fragments. These build
ings were freighted with peer wretches
w he se shortly before had laughed at the
cry of danger. McCarthy says in some
ases he counted as many as 15 persons
clinging te buildings, McCarthy's wil'e
was vv llh him. She had threo sisters w he
lived near her. They saw tlui heuse in
which these girls lived carried aw ay and
then they could stand it no longer, mi they
hurtled away. The husband feared his
wife would go ,razy before he could drag
her away and they left the flooded district
and went inland along the country reads
until they reached heie.
It is said te Ijq next te impossible te get
j te Johnstown proper te-day in any manner
,-Mceptby row beat. The reads are cut up
e that even the countrymen refuse te
travel ever them in their roughest vehicles.
The only hepe Is te get within about three
miles of Johnstew n by special train or by
hand car. This w ill be dene by the Asso
ciated Press agent vv ithinlhe next hour.
liATKlt The waters are new receding
here as rapidly as they rese last night, and
as the banks uncover the dead are show
ing up. Already nine dead bodies have
been picked up within the limits of tills
borough since daylight. Nene of them
have a i yet been recognized ; II ve of tliose
found are women. One lady, probably 25
years old and rather handsome, hadclased
in her arms a baby about six months old.
The dead body of ii young man was dis
covered in the brandies of a huge tree
which had been carried down the stream.
The body of another woman has just been
discovered in the river here. Her feet
was discoerod abeve the surf.tce of the
water. A repe was fastened, about it and
it is new tied te a tree "awaiting assistance

Jehn I Weber and his wife, an old
couple, Mike Metzgar and Jehn Ferney,
were rescued near here early this morning.
They hail been carried from tlicii home in
Cambiia City en the reef efa house. There
were secn ethors en the reef of the heuse
when it was carried oil" by the angry
waters. They weie all drowned. They

drilled onto the reef from floating debris.
AVcber and ills w ife were almost helpless
from exposure. They were uuable te
walk when taken oil the reef at this place.
They are new at the hotel here.
The banks en both sides of the river at
this place are crowded with anxious watch
ers, and with horrifying frequency their
vigils aie rewarded by the discovery of a
dead body. Within the last half hour three
floating bodies have been recovered at this
iKlnt, and hundreds of people from Johns
town and up river tow nsare hurrj iug here
in bcarch of their friends and ielatives,whe
were w ept aw ay in last night's tliKsl.
The n 10 it intense excitenieut prevails
here. The street corners are crew (led w itli

aw ful calamity with kited breath. Squire

he is h.iving them prn-mrry cuied for. They

this side. She was cevered with debiis,
but they pulled her out. fehe had only a

correspondents when they arrive at the
scene above. A report has Just been re

Nineveh, and that a man and iretnan are
en a partly submerged tree.
The report has just 'reached here that at
least 100 peopte were consumed in the
flames at Johnstown last night. It Is said
te have been an awful horror, but infor
mation cannot be obtained here. The ntr
is filled with thrilling and most Incredible
stories, but none of them has as yet been
con tinned. It Is certain, however, that
ev en the worst cannot be imagined.
" Hew can anybody tell hew many are
dead," said a railroad engineer this
morning. "I have been at Sang Hellew
with my train since 11 o'clock yesterday
and I have seen fully 500 persons lest In the
flood.

Johnstown.
The most awful culmination of the awful
night was the roasting of a hundred or '
mere people in mid-flood. The ruin of
houses, old buildings and ether structures
swept against the new railroad
brldge at Johnstown, and from an
overturned steve or nema such cause,
'the upper part of the wreckage
caught fire. There were crowds of men,
women and children en the wreck, and
tlieir screams were seen added te the awful
chorus of horror. They were literally
roasted en the" flood. Soen after the fire
burned itself out ethers were thrown
against the mass. There were some 50
pcople in sight when the ruins suddenly
parted, broke up and was swept under the
bridge Inte pitchy darkness.
The latest news from Johnstown is that
but two houses could be seen in the town.
It is also said that only three houses remain
in Cambria City. The first authentic news
was from W. N. Hays, of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, who reached New Flor
ence at 9 o'clock. He says the valley towns
are annihilated.
The Associated Press new has the only
wire lictwcen New Florence and Pittsburg
and has its connections with the main cir

Four ether bodies were seen, but owing

Many Lives Mlettcd Out My the Floed
In Western Pennsylvania. -
The Heed at. Johnstown has resulted in
an uvvful catastrophe. "It is said that the
reservoir alieve the town broke aleut five
o'clock Friday evening, and the immense
volume of water rushed down te the city,
carrving with it death and destruction.
Houses with their occupants were swept
away, and scores, probably hundreds, of
hWiIe were drowned.
Tlierowasne communication en Friday
night with Johnstew u, but a telegraph
operator in the Pennsylvania railroad
tower at Sang Hellew, twelve miles west
of Johnstown, says at least seventy-live
dead bodies haie floated past. The wires
are all down, and no trains are luuning
east of lllairHvllle, which is about twenty
five miles west of Johnstown.
The latest information comes through
Pennsylvania rail read 'ellicials, who aver
that ever iWUiIe.ul bodies have been counted
Meating down the stream at Johnstown
alone, w liile along the line many additional
lives have been lest. It is asserted that
there me but two houses in Johnstown
entirely above the water line. .Aspecial
train bearing Pennsylvania read" elllclnih
and a large number of nevvspaiicr men lias
left Pittsburg for the sccne. Telegraphic
communication Is entirely cut oil'.
A special from Grecnsburg says: ".A re
port has just reached here that the greater
portion of Johnstown has been flooded and
hundreds of lives lest. Houses are floating
about, and the pcople who are free are
p.iulc-strickeu and are lleeing te the
mountains."
At a iwlnt near New Florence eighty-five
porfaens have ltecn seen floating down the
rlv ar en driftw oed. One report comes that
buftw e reefs of the houses at Johnstown
can be seen. The Covctewn and the New
Florence bridges have been washed away
and all the :uildings along the Cencmaugh
between New Florence and Johnstown
have been carried away. The railroad
towers have been abandoned by the
oitcraters.
At a ipiarter of eight -o'clock a boy was
rescued by a man in the signal tower of
the railroad company at .Sang Hellew.
Illsname is unknown, but he said that
with his father, mother, brother and two
sisters he was swept away in the light
fr.imu heuse which was their home, lle
was washed away from the building, but
said the ether members ofthe family were
in it w lien It was swept ever the breast of
the new Mone railroad bridge at Johns
town ; that it capsized a few seconds later
mid they w ere all drowned se far as he
could tell.
The railroad o)erater officially reports
that before dark they were able te count
111) persons clinging te buildings, Wreck
age, or drowned and floating In the cur
rent. If tills information Is te be credited
the damage lu tlie town proper must be in
the nature of a clean sw eci.
As carlv as ene o'clock the alarm was
sent te Jofiustewii that there w as danger
from the dam. The railroad officials were
notified, and In a very short tiine began te
carry people from the town te places of
safety en regular trains and hastily impro
vised rescuing trains.
Anether sccial from Urecnsburg says:
"Johnstown Is completely submerged, and
the less of life is Inestimable. Houses are
going down the rlver by the dozen, and
pcople can be seen clinging te the reefs.
At Cakctewn, a vlllagoef several hundred
inhabitants, the houses are almost entirely
covered, and a great many houses at lllalrs lllalrs
vllle are submerged. Scarcely a dwellinir
in the vicinity of Sang Hellew can be seen.
The bridges at llellvar and Nineveh, it is
recited, have given way, and that at Salts
burg, it is feared, will be carried away.
Pcople here w he have friends In the flooded
district are eagerly waiting for news at the
telegraph olllce, llrcat uneasiness prevails.
The rlv er at Llv ermore Is rising and great
destruction will fellow."

Johnstown, the sceno of the great disas
ter, is en the main line of the Pennsylva
nia railroad, 'J7tl mile from Philadelphia,
and seventy-eight .loin Pittsburg. It Is
the hc.idimarterh oftte great Cambria Iren
cemiauy, and its acres of Iren works fill
the narrow Uislu in which the city Is sit

must have lieeu inundated by the flood.

of Johnstown.
Johusinvvn'ageographical situation is one
that renders it ieculi.irly liable te terrible
less of life In the event of such n casualty .is
that of Friday. It is a tewu built In a

den outpouring of the contents of t town
reservoir, together with the torrents of
rain thai had already swollen these streams
te triple their usual violence is supposed te
be the cause of the sudden submersion of
Johnstown and the drowning of se many
of its cltliens. The water, unable te find
Its way rapidly enough through Its usual
channels, piled up in overwhelming masses,
caryylng before it everything that ob
structed its onward rush upon the town.
JOHNSTOWK LITKRAU.Y W1MSD OUT.
N. N. Hays, superintendent of the sec
tion of the Pennsylvania railroad covered
by the flood, telegraphed at 10 o'clock, Fri
day night te Superintendent Pltcairn, in
Pittsburg, as fellows i
" The destruction is terrible. The dump
at Johnstown Is gene between the bridge
and the tower west of Johnstown. At seme
points the tracks are entirely carried away
and the roadbed Is gene. The river for threo
quarters rf -a mile above the bridge Is filled
with buildings and driftwood forty feet
high, and Is en fire, burning furiously and
is entirely beyond our control. 1 cannot
estimate the amount of damage. Johnstown
is literally wiped out."
A dispatch from Grecnsburg, Westmore
land county, says:
"The telephone) exchange at New Flor
ence reports that the city of Johnstown is
practically washed away, and that the
number of persons lest will be several
thousands."
"Twomen rescued at Bolivar unite In
saying that in the, Cenemaugh valley, out
side of Johnstown, at least 1,600 lives were
lest.
"The town bridge nt Grecnsburg has Just
succumbed te the seething cauldron, whose
maddening rear can be 'heard a long dis
tance up the valley.
"The water is still rising, and it is
thought the West Pennsylvania railroad
will be without a alngle brldge In the
morning. The screams of ene woman, as
the ether bridge went down, were heart
rending. She was floating en something net
discernible, and her cries were heard until
lest in the distant rear of the torrent." A
special train from Pittsburg, carrying re
porters get te Bolivar at lltW.Frtday night,
and could get no further. They found that
the tidal wave struck Bolivar Just after
dark, and in llve minutes the Cenemaugh
rese from six te forty feet and the waters
spread out evor the whele country. Soen
houses began floating down,and clinging te
the debris were men, women and children,
shrieking for aid. A laTge number of citi
zens at once gathered oil the county bridge
and they were reinforced by n nuinlwr
from Garfield, a tevvn'pn the opposite sde
ofthe river. They .brought-a numberbf
ropes and theso were thrown into the boil
ing waters as persdua drilled by in ofTerts
te Have HelllQ peer, beings. Fer half an hour
all Qftbats were fifulUess until at last, when
the rescuers were alxjftit giving up all hepe,
a little boy'estrldoa shingle reef, managed
te catch held of one pf the ropes. He caught
it under his left arm and was thrown clo cle clo

te keep held and wall successfully pulled
en te the bridge, aiuld.the cheers ofthe on
lookers. Ulsrjanie was Hcssler and his
rescuer was a train hand named Carney.
The lxy was about 10 years old.
His story of the frightful calamity is as
follews: ''With my father. I was spend

self. Shortly afler 5 o'clock there was a
neise of rearing waters and screams of
pcople. We looked out the deer and saw
persons running. My father told us net
te mind as the waters would net rlse
further. But seen we saw houses being
swept away and then we ran up te the fleer
above. The house was threo-sterics, and
we were at last forced te the top ene. In
my fright I jumped en the bed. It w as an
old-fashioned ene with heavy pests. The
water kept rising and my boil was seen
afloat. Gradually It was lilted up. The air
In the room grew clese and the heuse was
moving. Still the bed kept rising and
pressed the celling.? At last the Kst pushed
the plaster. It yielded and n section of the
reef gave way. Then suddenly 1 found my
self en the reef and was. being carried
down stream. After a little this reef com
menced te part and I was afraid I was go
ing te lie drowned, but just then another
heuse w llh n siilngie reef floated by and 1
.managed le craw 1 en It and floated down
until nearly dead with cold, when I was
saved. Alter I was freed from the house I
did net see my father. My grandfather
was en a tree, but he must have been
drowned as the waters were rising fast.
Jehn Klutz, Jr., was also en a tree. Miss
Mary Klutz and Mrs. Mary Klutz I saw
drown. Miss Smith was also drowned.
Jehn Hirsch waH in a tree, but the four
children were drowned. The scenes were
terrible. Llve IksIIcs and corpses were
floating down with me and away from me.
1 would hear persons shriek and then tliev
would disappear. All along the line were
people who were trying te save us, but they
could de nothing and only a few were
caught."
The boy's story Is but oue incident and
shows what happened te oue family. ed
only knows vv hat has happened te the hun
dreds who wero in the path of the rushing
water. It is impossible te get anything in
the way of news, save moagre details.
ANOTIIKK M.'r.NK OF HOItltOlt.
All eye-witness nt llellvar Bleck station
tells a story of unparalleled horror which
occurred at the lower brldge which cresses
the Cencmaugh at this point. A young
man and two women wero seen coming
down the river en a part of a fleer. At the
upper brldge a repe was thrown them.
Tills they all failed te catch. Between, the
two bridges the man was noticed te point
towards the elder woman, who, It Is sup sup
iKised, was his mother. He was then seen
te instruct the women hew te catch the
reiH) w hlch was being lowered from the
ether bridge. Down came the rati with a,
rush. The brave man steed with )iis
arms around the tw6 women. As they
swept. under the bridge he reached up and
seized the rejic. He was Jerked violently
away Irem the two vv omen, who failed te get
a held en the life Hue. Seeing that they
would net be rescued he dropped the repe
and fell back en the raft w Inch fleated en
down. The current washed the frail craft
in tow ards the bank. The young man w as
enabled te sclze held of a branch of a tree.
The young man aided tliovt.ve women te
get up into the tree. He held en with his
hands and rested his feet en a pile of drill;
weed. A piece of floating debris struck
the drift, sweeping it away. The man hung
with his body immersed in the water. A
pile of drift seen collected and he w as
enabled te get another secure footing. I'p
tlie river mere was asuuuen crasn and a
Boctlens ofthe bridge was swept away and
floated down the stream, striking the trte
and washing It away. All three were
thrown Inte tlie water and were drowned
before the eyes ofthe horrified sj-octaters
just opieslto the town of llellvar.
Early in tlie evening a woman with her
two children wcrosecu te pass under the
bridge at Bolivar, clinging te the reef of a
coalheuso. A rejKi was lowered te her, but
she shook her head and refused te desert
the children. It was rumored that all three
were saved at Cokevlllo, a few miles lolew
Bolivar. A later rejiert Irem Lockpertsays
that the residents succeeded in rescuing
flve people from the IIckk, two women and
three men. One man succeeded-in getting
out of the water unaided. They were
kindly taken care of by the pcople ofthe
town.
A little girl jmsscd under the brldge just
before dark. She was kneeling en a part
of a fleer and had her hands clasKsl as If
In prayer. Every effort was maile te save
her, but they all proved futile. A rail
roader who was standing by re
marked that the piteous nppoarance
of the little waif brought tears te Ids
eves. All night long the crowd steed nlsnit
tlie ruins of the bridge, which had Ik-cii
sw ept aw ay at Bolivar. Tite w ater rushed
ust with a rear, carrying with it parts of
louses, iurnlturp and trtce. The flood bad
evidently npent H feree up the valley. Ne
mere living persons were being carried
past. Watchers wMiManterns remained
along the banks nnttt-daybreak, when the
first view of the awful devastation of the
flood was witnessed.

Jehnsen flunked Ids counsel for what
they had dene in his, liehalf, and said he
knew that If it had net been for Mr. Robin
son and Mr. Bcaslcy he would have long
age died en the gullevv s. Had the pardon
heard failed te commute Jehnsen's sou seu sou

him, another eflert would have been uiade
te get the charges against Charley Wilsen

would likely have been brought up at the
June term. But new that Jehnsen's neck
is saved, It Is prebable that It will never be
known w bother "Dig Charley" and "Dutch
Gus" had any connection with the myster
ious murder of Farmer Jehn Sharpless.
There Is a feeling of relief there that the
case lias at last reached an end, and the
decision of tlie pardon beard is generally
commended by the best thinking ami
respocUvble portion of the community.
With ene exception, the press of Media,
Chester and ether parts of the county
appreve ofthe commutation.
Probably Murdered
The lieily of Mrs. Margaret Lcimlucr,
eged thirty-six years, was found early
Tuesday eyening by her husband, Jehn
Lclndner, lu the rear ofthe garden of her
home, en the Annapolis read near Balti

llve happily together and had decided te
lait, and that she went out and shot
livrsclfwith a pistol, leaving tills mes mes
sage written en the bureiu witii chalk:
" Geed night. New t.ike tlie ether one. "
This, he says, referred te his own pistol.
Jehu East, a neighbor of LclndnerH was
vvflli hm when the body of ills wlle was
found, and IjCindner asked him te leek at
Ids pistol, which was up stairs. He did net
de se, however, saving he had better wait
for tlie coroner. The coroner bus begun an
inquest at which several wituesgei testified
that Mr. Lciuducr told them that If she
met a certain woman she would kill her or

Pntt.ADM.rm a, Junk 1. All indications
point le the present trouble being the worst
ever experienced by the Pennsylvania rail
road company. During the' btluard nf
March, IftSe, the read was blockaded en the
,Ncw Yerk division and east of Alteena,
for nearly flve days. That memorable
block ado was caused by snow alone, the
read net being damaged In any way. The
present suspension of traffic, caused by
the washing away of bridges and
viaducts, heavy landslides, long and
deep washouts and the (all of heavy masses
of rock from mountain sides te the tracks
liolew, between Alteena and Johnstown, a
distance of almut 40 miles and east of the
former city Is expected te last fully as
long as the snow blockade of a year
age. At the office of the general
manager of"Hrread it was' stated
this morning that the new brldge across
the Cenemaugh river at Johnstown, which
was, reported te have been swept away hy
the water, Is still standing as firm as, ever,
but the approach Utcrete for a dlstance or
300 or 400 feet between the station and
brldge has been washed out. Information
received from that point is very 'meagre.
An official of the read there telegraphs
that it is Impossible te doscrlbe the calamity
and .desolation that followed It. Ne par
ticulars were given beyond this.
The wires te Wllllanispert are stllldevvn.
A dlstch received from that elty by wey
of Reading stated that the lumlier Isxim

the water was rushing through the upper
end of the town,
Almut 2 o'clock this morning word was
received nt vVilllumspert, that the boemnt
Leck Haven had breken, and that the place
wes overflowed. Mince then no news has
been rocclved as te the condition of affairs
as the wires between 'VYilllamspert and
Leck Haven went down iinniodlately after
the sending ofthe dispatch, and communi
cation has net yet been restored.
The positions of the east and west lieuud

On the Philadelphia division, lictweeii
