Johnsten y, .Four days have
elapsed Mnce tlie nnirel of death sw ept down
through the valley of tlie Conemaugh, but
no ray of sunshine han yet lighted the
scene of horror at Johnstown bridge. The
sky is Htlll overcast with heavy clouds and
tjie mm rests behind a menacing pall as
though leluetnnt te lew the handiwork or
his potent elements.
Ter 30 heitiH without Intermission the
fire engines hne played upon the smoking
ruins above llie. 'bridge, hut the Haines that
break out afresh at freipient Intesvals In
this floating Held of ruins seem te
defy the sublninj force of the water.
Nearly 1!,000 men are oiuplejed In dif
ferent parts of the valley clearing up the
ruins niul prosecuting diligent search for
the undlseev ered dead. These Investiga
tions nie net without fruitful results, for
bodies of dead and dinned victims of the
Heed and llre are discovered with undi
minished frequency. It becomes hourly
luore and meiu apparent that net a slngle
estlge will eer be recognized of hun
dreds that weie roasted In the Haines above
thubiidge. 13vcij- moment new the body
of soine peer U llin Is taken from the
dibris, and the town, or the remnants of
It, Ih ome ast i Imi ncl house.
The scenes at the extemporized morgue
are beyond powers of description In their
ghastliucHs, w Idle the means and groans of
nriering.snrv Ivers, tossing in agony with
bruised and mangled lxslies, or screaming
in delirium of feeras Ihey issue from the
numerous temporary hospitals, make een
tlie sttutost-heartod quail with terrei.
Nearly 'JJJOO bislies luve already been re re
cex ered mid as the work of examining the
wrjckage progretsestha conviction grows
that the magnitude of the calamity has net
been approximated. Conservative esti
mates this morning put the number of lest
nt 7,000 and many men of calm Judgment
and w he nie net apt te oxaggerato and who
have been upon the ground liem the first
place the number at 10,000. s,

The debris wedged against tlie big Penn
sylvania railroad stone bridge is still binn
ing, ami the olleits of the firemen te
quench or stay the. p -egress of the flames
aie futile. The mass, which unquestiona
bly forms a funeral pyre for thousands of
victims who lie Imiled beneath it, is bin n-
ing and likely te hum for weeks te come.
The Humes are net active, but burnawav
In a sullen, determined fashion as though
bent for ence upon proving hew futile are
man's efterts w hen the lit e god is aroused ;
and pcrhitps after all the hand of Prev I
dence Is In It.
The suggestion innde by phsiclans
yesterday that the bodies net burlnd be al
low ed te bw cremated in the interest of
public health and which aroused such a
storm el Indignation among the surviving
pepulace is viewed with mere calmness
te-diy, and thtue Is a growing sentiment
that it is after all tlie best solution of the
problem. Weeks, months w 111 be required
toremevotho tupondeus mass byuitifi
did means and meantime the retting and
puttering leuiains of peer humanity
burled therein would be dealing iiollutieii
and death te all the surrounding ceuutiy.
The aw fill desolation of the scene has
been dcscrll ed often enough nhcady te
render lepetltlen of attempt here unneces
sary. 'lliose descriptleus have been as
truthful mid graphic as it is xisslhle for
man te make them; but none have been
uJcquatc, none could be.
Wheie once steed solid unbroken busi
ness blocks for sqiiaies and squnies, with
basements and siib-cellais, there is new a
lev el plain as free fiem obstruction or ox ex ox
lavatlen as the fair fields of Arcadia, after
they had been sw opt by the Itritish llnuics.
The ni.ijei and prettlci poitieu et the betiu

the r.ieoel the earth.
C'rewils efstrangeis anxiously watch tlie

as the ev e can re.ii.li. At Johnstew u pieper

Tlie situation at Johnstown and ether
desolated points In the Ceneinaugh valley
Is summarized by Governer Heaver In a
proclamation issued en Monday night ap
pealing for money and supplies. The
governor says that "the most conservative
estimates place the less of life at 6,000 and
that of property at $25,000,000." The
recovery of bodies coiitlnues, about 2,300
having been gathered up te Monday night..
There are fears efslckness In conse
quence of the decomposing bodies and
ether decaying material sw ept dew n by the
flood.
Communication by telegraph was estab
lished with Johnstown en Monday, and
order has been restored there, the civ II and
military authorities co-epcratlug.
While the searchers vvee nt work In
Johnstown proper en Monday morning,
they came upon a house nnd heard a noise
under It, and chopped through the roefand
discovered a man in the top story of the
house. They pulled him out, but he was
tee weak toglve his liuine, mid no ene has
Identified him as yet.
Quite a novel scene was wilnesscd en
Sunday near Johnstew n borough. Some
women who managed te escape from the
town proper had te wear men's. clothing,
as their own hud been tern off by the Heed.
Almest every ene has n story of remark
able escape. On a train, Michael llenesen,
an Irishman, tells n wonderful story of his
escape. He says he wns walking down
Main street when he heard a rumbling
nolse, nnd, looking around, he imagined it
was a cloud, but In a inlnute the water was
upon him. He lleutcd with the tldofer
seme time, when he was struck with seme
floating timber and borne underneath the
vv atcr ; w lien he came up he w as struck
again, and at last he w as caught by a light
ning red and held there forever two hours
when he was finally icscucd.
Mrs. Ann Williams tells n rnther re
markable story. She was sitting sewing
vv hen the Heed came en. She heard some
peoplecryiugaiid JiimjKsl out of the win
dow and siiccceded in iretting en the reef of
an adnliiing house. Under the reef she
heard the cries of men and vv omen, mid
saw- two men and women vv ith their heads
Just abovetlio water crying: " Fer Ged's
sake either kill us outright orrcscue us."
Mrs. Williams cried forhelp for the drew n
Ing people, but none came, and she saw
tlieni give up ene by one.
IlKARTRhXIIIXri IIIX'ITAI.S 11V SURVIVORS.
James P. McCunagli had a terrlble ex
perience, lu tlie water. He saw his wife
was safe en laud and thought his only
daughter, u girl aged about 21, was also
saved, but Just as he was making for the
shore he saw herand went te rescue her.
He succeeded in getting within about ten
leet of land w lieu the girl said " Ooed-b.v e,
father, " and expired lu his arms before he
reached the shot e.
A prettr, pale little w eiiiuii told part of
her sad story en Monday as she nerv eusly
clasped and unclasped her hands nnd cried
In a quiet heart-breaking way. Yearsnge,
In tlie Virginia Valley, somewheie near
Winchester, this sad little soul met and
lev ed n hard-weiklng, intelligent engineer,
named Tcnti. They were married seme
eurs age, came te Johnstown, where they
had a ueut, comfortable home. Fetiu made
geed wages, their seven children were
nlwuvs well clad, and their mother lived
with her life concentrated upon them.
On the afternoon of the tlcxxl, Fcun vv cut
te the butcher's and passed out of this short
history in the waters. When the Heed
came 'into the Fenii house, the mother
Withered her chicks in the juiler and told
thorn net te boatrald,iisGed was there and
would guard them. Up enme the torrent,
nnd they went te the second fleer, and
again the little mother talked of hope and
and bade them be of geed cheer, " ler papa
Heaven rest him would come seen in
a beat and take thorn away." Up, up and
u) rose the water, and new the titnilly
wcre forced te the top story. The rooms
were v ery low. and seen the heads of the
mother and ihlldreu were beating against
the celling. " Mamma," said the eldest
child, it gill, "wouldn't it be better te go
outside, and tile lu the open air?"
"Yes, dear," said the mother, "we'll
make a raft, and all go dew n together."
She fought her own and her children's
way te the window and opeitod it. She
caught a piece of plank and en it put the
eldest child, with a hasty kiss and it "Ged
bless von." Then she left It lle.it away Inte
the darkness and the rear ofthe vutves.
Six limes these frail barks were freighted
with prisiens cargoes and nit'oslesol pious
trust. The children weie Irighteneil, but
obedience was part of thcii creed, and they
made but little pretest.
New came the turn ofthe last child,
Hessle, the l'tir-vear-eld. One can luney
what It meant -the last and dealest. Theie

and, it huste was net used, death would
coine there at ence. Te u bread plank
Hessle was fastened securely and was
blessed ns had been the etheis. "Iloved
them all, eh, I loved them al II" said the
mother. "Hut I had two kisses for Hessle,
ler she was Tem's faveille, iind was such a
tretsl child. She nut her aims about my
neck and said, en knew you said G oil
would take euro of me always, mamma.
Will he take care of me new?''
"I told her he would and she need net
fear and then she was eai rled itway, 'I'm
net afraid, mamma,' she cried out, and I
heard her, although I could net see her -and
that's all, extept that the loef wus tern
ett and I floated oil en It, and some Italians
saved meat Kernville, sixteen miles fiem
heie."
"And the children, Mrs, Fenn, I hes
they all escaped?"
" We huve found two of them dead
liesslqand Geerge and there Is net a murk

A NAMhl.l-SS l'AI'r. RKVRHK.
A nameless Paul Itoveie lies somewhere
among the nameless dead. Who he Is may
uev er bn known, but his ride w 111 be tumults
in local history. Mounted en a grand, big
buy horse, lie came riding down the piku
which passes through Conemaugh te
Johnstown llke some angel et w rath of old,
shouting his iNirtcntnusw liming: "Itun for
veur lives te the hills. Hun te the hills."
The people clouded out et their houses
along the thickly settled stiect, nwe-stnu k
and wondering.
Nobody knew the in in mid some thought
he w as a maniac and laughed. On at n
quick pace he rede anil shrilly rung out
his awful cry. In a few moment, how
ever, therocanien cloud of ruin down thu
Itreail streets, tiewn me narrow uueys,
grinding, twisting, hurling, overturning,
crashing, annihilating the w eak and strong.
It wus the charge of the flood wearing Its
coronet of ruin and devastation, which
grew- at every instant of Its progress.

Kemville is in a deplorable condition.
The living are u liable te take care ofthe
dead. The majority of the inhabitants of
the town were drowned. A building of

remaining In the tow n fts headquarters for
the committee that contrelii the dead. As
quickly as the dead are brought te this
point they are placed In boxes and then
taken te the cemetery and burled.
A supply store has been opened In the

for milk narrowly escaped lynching. The
Infuriated men appropriated all his milk
and distributed It among the tioer, and then
drove him out of the tow n.
About 155 houses are standing where

people is a low estimate of the number of

Isslles have been recovered. They hnve
floated down into the ruins, w here they
were burned.
A walk through the tow n revealed a deso dese

can be seen w Ith black eyes, bruised faces
and cut heads. The appearance of some of
the ladles Is heartrending. They were In

yellow and dark rings surround the eyes.

The Seuth I'erk Luke was en almost the
top of the mountains. It was two and one
half miles from the Seuth Perk station of
the l'ennsylvaiila ltullread, and was con
structed by the state as a feeder for the old
l'eunsylv aula canal. Wheu the canal was
bought by the Pcunsjlvuiiln railroad Ihey
also bought the reservoir, but shortly after
ward sold It te Colonel lliley, of Altoemi,
who subsequently sold It te Colonel Huff
and Henry Ilriinet, of (Jrcensburg, and it
was tlneugh their efforts that tlioHeuth
Ferk lluutlugaud Fishing club was organ
ized and the place made u summer resort.
The club, w lilch Is couiiescd mostly of
I'lttsburgers, Immediately began te extend
the reservoir and succeeded in making a
lake thrce miles long, :i,O00 te -1,000 feet
w ide and 70 feet deep near the dam. Owing
te Its menacing position, the Pennsylvania
railroad had the dam Inspected by a corps
of engineers in 1MS0 and 1S.H1, and they re
commended that It should be rlff-raffcd
and that a crev lee In the bottom should be
stepcd, and lu '82 through the efforts of
the late Curtis II. Ilussey the work was ac
complished and the dam declared safe. Te
make It still mere secure the Seuth Kerk
Hunting and Fishing club enlarged the
wert race which ran through the slue of the
hill, entirely separate from the dam, and
consequently no water Mewed ever It.
nesldes the club house, vv lilch was erected
at a cost of $10,000, the fellow ing Pittsburg
