Incrcasing force the stupendous work
vvhli-h has been undertaken by theso un
dnuttted men who have start ed te rostero
.lohustew n ten condition which will rnnble
the owners of the barren Mite te rebuild
their homes and places of business.
Hut ter the money which has been jieured
from the coders of the w erld the task w euld
net only be difficult but liiiiKissible or ac
complishment. Hven with this aid It will
be weeks before sttieken Johnstown can
be undo an avtllable building site.
Over ene hundred men have been all daj
engaged In an eirert ti clear a n.irrevv pas
sage irem the death bridge upward through
the sea of debris that blocks the Cone Cene
uiaugh for nearly half a mlle. Kverv
liigeuuitj- known le man has been resorted
te bj this crew. The giant pew or of dvna dvna
mlte was brought into requisition, uiid at
lrcqucnt Intcrvids the rear of explosions
rev orberatcd through the valley, and
btlcks. stones and legs would Ilj'hlgh in
the air. GkhIusiII' n few of the heaviest
tlmbcri wcre demolished and the frag
ments permitted te float (levviiw tinl tlireugli
the eentre arch. At nightfall, however,
the clear space above the brldge did net
exceed an area of sixty feet In length by
forty feet in width. When ene reflects
that fully twenty-llve aces ure te be
cleared In this waj', the task ahead seems
an Interminable ene. But thcre Is no royal
read, and if the hundreds or thousands of
bodies beneath these blackened ruins are
te be receveied ler Christian burial, the
labors of te-daj- must be continued w 1th
Increased vigor. Thcre aie many consor censor conser
valivQ minds that recommend the use of
the torch in this work of clearing the river,
but they tire net among the sullercrs, and
when Mich counselsaro heard bj' thewlves,
children Msters or brethers el theso who
test beneath this sea of lletsain and Jetsam,
the suggestion of ciematlen meets 11 wild
furore of objection.
It is believed by theso in charge of the
rcfeistij- lists, who have watched the regis
tration most carefullj', that the proportion
of lest will be found te be near!- oue-hidf.
II this proves true, the estimate ofthe less of
lite which has hlthcite been undo falls far
short et the terrible truth. It must be ro re ro
niembered that 11 vcrj' large proeitlon el
this less Is made up et children. Hew
striklnglj' lrcqucnt is the roletcnce In the
death list te "Mrs. Jenes and six chil
dren." "Mrs. Smith and live children."
In the moigiie the llttle ones lle in dozens,
where the adults are in half deens; but
there Is and has been much greater
dltllcultj' In recovering the bodies of the
cliildten. Being lighter and smaller they
have often been swept Inte oul-ef-tbo-waj-recesses
that are almost Inaccessible, anil
are mero easllj- can led awaj-. A verj
great projiertioii of the children have been
swept down the liver, and their bodies
driven in under overhanging banks, under
thickets mid in ether places, v. here
thcre Is only 11 sparse population
and whcie the search is net cur
ried en in a careful and ergauircd
inaunei. As an illustration of this, just
abeve Xevv rioreme seme Iragmeuts of
clothing wcre in full view of the path en
the liver bank. Hundreds of people passed
the plii-e for three dajs looking ler bodies,
but thought it was only shreds of worth
less eleth thej' wero looking at rinally
somebody poked at the lagi with a stick,
and 11 ul in the eurient brought a i.'-j ear
old bibe te the sin face.

A THOUSAND FUNKHALS.
The graj' mists had scarcelj' risen from
the hills Ibis morning when a thousand
funerals w ere coursing their g, ecu sides.
Thcre wcie no he.in,cs, few mourners end
as llttle helemnitv us lermalltj. The m.i-Ieiitj-
of the celllns were et rough pine.
The iMll-bcarcrsweie strong ex teams, and
instead of slv pall-be.uers te ene eetliu
theie we.-e generallj- six celllns te ene

and silcntlj thej unleaded their bunions
In the lap et mother e.'.rtli. Xomiuisteref
ted was there te proneuncoa last blessing
as the clods rattled dew 11, except 11 few
faithful priests who had followed seme
mangled iepres,cuta'lvcs of their laith te
the grave.
A Met that h is hcrctofero been over

these recovered have been se mangled,
biuiscderiharredtli.it identification was
impossible. In an ordinary Heed this
would net have been the uise, but here
human bodies weie but the tilling in of 11
moiintalu-llke mass of houses, railroad
tracks, trains and ether debris w liich vv cut
ciushtng through .1 valley threenines long.
Hew any of lile's elaj- retained former
scmbkince is enigmatical.
All daj le.ig the ceip.es wero being hur

wcre grouped en a high hill west of the

pessibililj' et identification diminishes

In 1111 interview he told of the w erk that

mates show- mero than anv thing the
chaotic condition of tills citv. "It will take
10,000 men thirty days te clear the ground
se that the streets ure passable and the
work of rebuilding can be begun," said he,
" mid 1 ant at a less te knew new the work
is te be done. This enthusiasm will seen

taken, and at ence, te furnish gangs of
workmen, and te-morrow I shall send a
communication te the Pittsburg Chamber
of Commerce, asking the dltrorent manu
facturers ofthe Ohie Valley te take turns

send all hands In ch.trge of a foreman and

UNTOLD HOIUIOICS AT THK nniDOK.
An ej-e witness ofthe herrible scenes in
and about the stene brldge of the railroad
during I'rldaj' night and Saturday, states
nothing In art or literatiire cm half do de do
llncatetho horrors of that night after the
ruins hud taken fire.
Dore's wonderful Imagination would be
valueless were he te attempt te depict anj'

the means and shrlcksofpcoplointhefoar shrlcksefpcoplointhefoar shrlcksofpceplointhefoar
fill torrent of llame could be heard abeve
the rear ofthe flames and the booming tor

Friday night the lien id din kept up until
soineof the on-Ieokorn fled from the spot
unable te bear It longer. One man, vv he
wus saved fiem the ruins and whose com
pany I shored for hours en Friday night,
is said te have slnce geno insane and been
cenvejed te Pittsburg. Anether person,
as late as Satunlaj- morning, heard the
shriek rfa woman's voice amid the ruins,
and, looking In the direction, was horror
stricken te sce a woman's whlte arm and
shoulder appear Irem amid a plle or ruins
en w hlch the Humes w ere rapidly encroach

air, the hands clutching convulsively nt

down upon It, and the most fearful scream
of mortal ugeny that ever filled the air
urose abeve the din of thundering waters,
then nil was silent, mid the sheets of lire
was svv cpt en, crackling and chuckling as
If In glce at Its diabolical work of wee.
A graj'-hnircd vv enian was among the ap
plicants for clothing at the distributing do de do
pet at the Pennsj lvanla railroad station
this morning. An outfit was made up mid
given her, but after examining the dress
she rcappreached the agent in charge and
asked it he would oxchange it for a black
