There is not much room to tell the stories of base bail defeats and victories at present, no natter bow glorious or inglorious they may be. res if there was space at command, the fact that thcro is little desire to read abont any thing except the dreadful calamity at Johns town will surprise nobody. However, tho thousand people who went over to Recreation Park yesterday to see the local talent and the Hoosiers lock horns sawaconQict that is worth rememberinc- Judging from the way in which the two teams performed, it seemed as if the demolition of all the world except the ball ground would have very little effect on them. Two old foes met and, depend upon it, every thing else for the nonce was forgotten. The real contest of yesterday's game lay be tween Ualvin and Boyle two well-known youngsters to people of along time ago. Old Jimmy reappeared, and If ever he was young, sprightly and vigorous it was yesterday. Jim my's work was just as impressive and effective as that of the most elorious gladiator that ever entered the Roman arena of earlier days. He accomplished just what every admirer of the local would wish be shut the Hoosiers out. couldx't touch jimmy. They couldn't touch the old fellow. His pitching was undoubtedly better than on any occasion this year, and if a rest improves everybody as much as it has done the "Old Man," judging from yesterday's work, Pitts burg will be almost invulnerable in the way of pitchers. Oalvm's work really reminded one of the best achievements of his life. And let no one forget Henry Boyle, Viscount jienry, as ne ougnt to oe cauea, or at least ought to have been. In the way of giving a few bases on balls he made one or two mis takes. One of these caused his defeat. In a sense, that is, in a cosmopolitan sense, it was a pity for Boyle to lose such a game as he pitched: but his own error was the deciding point. Had that particular base on balls never ieen made the teams might have, played an unfinished game, with a score of 0 to 0. Although the hitting was remarkably light there were some interesting features in the game. Both teams fielded brilliantly, and when hits couldn't be seen the idea was to see some thing great in the field. Borne great work was seen, and it is safe to say that the local team can field just as brilliantly as those who have met them at other places say they can. With out doubt the fielding was excellent. V, EXCUSABLE EKEOES. ' Two of the errors credited to the home players were extremely excusable. They were errors credited particularly to Kuehne and Smith. These mistakes, however, does not prevent impartial people from saying that Smith and Kuehne did first-class work. Han Ion fielded in his usual bright way. and that means a great deal. He caught a very difficult fly. And the Hoosiers did a little better fielding than our fellows. ' Glasscock caught, with one hand, a liner from Kuehne's bat in the seventh inning that caused the thousand spectators to cheer loudly. Denny also kept up hie record. One pleasing feature of the game was the fact that a boss of Miller's friends presented him with a handsome gold watch "and chain. It was generally pleasing because everybody thought be deserved it. The only run of the game was made In the fifth inniug. Maul led off and reached first on called balls. Kuehne followed with the first bit for the local players. He knocked the ball to right field, out was doubled up with Smith on the tatter's short fly to Bassett. Old Gal Tin's daisy crack to left, however, brought Maul home and that won the game. Fessenden. the new umpire, gave great satis faction. He is a prompt and lusty-voiced gen tleman.

The flood excitement still prevails high above anything of a baseball notion. Last night, at a lato hour, it could not be learned whether the Pittsburgh and Indianapolis teams intend to play two games or one, or even cone at all. The flood has unfortunately dampened baseball enthusiasm here. Morris will likely pitch to day for the home team, if there is a game. The ynlkyrle- Be-".ten. London, June 3.

Amid the wreck of wires and the loss of lives, there is no reliability about the results of games. Therefore, don't look for.tables for a day or two. ' SEEDS AND TREES. Hovr Some of Them Preserve Their Vitality for an Unusually Lone Period. It would be rash to .affirm, remarks a writer in the London Evening Standard, that, under exceptional circumstances, es pecially when seeds have been kept from contact with the air and in a dry atmos phere, some ot them may not preserve.their vitality for an unusually long period. Beans have been sprouted 60 years after they were gathered, and seeds of plants be longing to the same leguminous tribe taken from the herbarium ot Tournefort, who flourished in 1694, grew into fruiting plants in the Jardin des Plantes in the year 1810. The seeds of the sensitive plant are known to have been vital after being kept for 60 years; haricot have germinated after 100 years, and there is an indispnted instance of a grain of rye sprouting when 140 years old. Still more to the point, maize taken from an apparently undisturbed Inca tomb in Fern, which could not have been closed less than tnree centuries ago, showed a feeble vitality, and a fact of a very remark able character, which renders dogmatism unsafe, was recorded from near Shrewsbury, about the year 1871. In cutting down a large elm tree, a quantity of acorns was found in a cavity of the trunk, though so completely inclosed by the growth of the tree since the squirrel or other animal had placed them there, that two feet of wood, showing 120 annual rings, inter vened between the acorns and the open air. Yet several of them terminated. In these cases the seeds were kept in a perfectly air-' tignt space, ana entirely excluded from any agents likely to stimulate germination, or cause the decay of the young plant. We also know, as a familiar fact, that when forests are swept by fires, the growth which springs np in the burnt tracts is not the same as that which disappeared. In North America pine and spruce are succeeded first by a growth of brambles, which in time are replaced by dwarf birch, poplar, and bird cherry. Then scrub oaks and various hard woods follow these, and pine rarely re-appears except upon laud long mellowed by agriculture, though the suc cession of trees varies much in different parts of the continent. In Cssar's day the Hercynian Forest modern Harzwald consisted chiefly of broad leaved trees. But firs and pines now predominate. In Styria, when certain sec tions of pine forests are cut down, young oaks take their places; and in France, after the felling of timber in the forests of a particular district of that country, brooms, fox-gloves, heath, birches, and aspen spring in place of the oaks, beeches and ashes hewn down by .the woodmen. Then, after an interval of 90 years, or thereabouts aftei the third coppicing oaks and beeches reconquer their original position. During the present century the terri torial extent of tbe United States has more than quadrupled. The total area Is now 3,603, 881 square miles, while in 1788 it was only 827, 814 square miles, and in the same period the nation nas issreasea zrom 8,ksj,zii to near-,088,098. ' "THE HOSTS OT DEAD.';, Continued from Mrtt Page. ble velocity with which the water gave the warning, made the matter "all the "more- as tounding. ' One of the important features of the flood is'the laxity shown in identifying the res cued bodies, thus proving that beside the innumerable families- swept .away from Johnstown proper, the death, anil rain has stricken districts further up the mountains, sot heard from. The houses piled np in the debris here, in many cases show them to be of rural architecture, log cabins being numer ous. Robert Simpson, L. E, Stotiel. ANGTHERJSTIMATE. Three Thousand Bodies Hnve.Becn Recov ered and as Many More Are iixpect ed Awful Scenes Around tbe Dlorgnes The Search for Relatives and Friends. FEOM A STAFF COBEESFONDENT. JomrsTO'WTr, June. 3. The number of dead bodies which have been discovered and prepared for burial in the different charnel houses has almost reached over 3,000, and those who are in a position to know claim that nearly as many more will be unearthed. An effort was made by your correspondent this afternoon to get an accurate, and com plete list of the bodies so far handled, but it was fonnd impossible to do so. Tbe number has grown so large that the under takers who are preparing the bodies for burial said they got'tired counting and gave it up. At the Fourth street or school house morgue, in which locality the deaths were the' greatest, the people in charge said it was impossible to. say how many bodies they have handled since Saturday morning, Mr. Kittell, who has been In attendance all the time, said they had handled' over 2,000, but could not give the ex act figures. Herman Ebbert, of Allegheny, had kept tally of the number of people prepared under-his care. Up until i o'clock this afternoon he had received 629 bodies. Of this number about 100 came in to-day and those who could not be identified were burled almost- as soon as they were prepared. At tbe morgue In Millville there was only one body received to-day.. It was that of an unknown young girl about 15 years of age, but there was nothing about her person by whicn she could be identified. This body made the forty-sixth corpse prepared at this morgue. , One of the Many Unknown. Upon tho breast of the young girl was a bruise about one-half men wide. Tbe men who refer.?!! lie- thought that tbe body had been i 1 . n.-fnre they discovered it. The marks on lit; ;;irb wrist were supposed to have been maJu by a bracelet which some of the robbers who have been plying their ne farious calling on tbe dead, were trying to secure from the body. They, evidently could not get it off quick enough and in their eager ness to get the article of jewelry bad rudely jerked it off, bruising the young girl's tender flesh. She was taken from the water near Cambria City. Tho sight of so many coffins on the sides of both tracks and on the station platform at Nineveh almost caused the sightseers to turn bckand filled them horror. Since Sunday there has been a large number of coffins scat tered around the station in full view of the people coming up from Pittsburg. The sight of so many coffins when gazed upon by those in search of relatives and friends had the effect of giving them the horrors. One woman, upon seeing tbe coffins, thought of what -was to- fol low and refused to continue on her way to Johnstown. The Dead at Nineveh. Tbe morgue at Niniveh now has a record of handling about 285 dead bodies in the last two days. The beautiful station has appropriately been, called "The City of the Dead." The scenes at the different morgues were not pathetic, they were excruciating. At St, Co lumbus Church, every time the wagon would be driven up to the door, there would be a rush for tbe place by the greater number of the in habitants of Cambria City. -There were mothers there almost in the last agonies of despair' over tbe losses they had sustained. One woman did nothing all day but sit . at . tbe shrine of one of the images in the church and, clasp ing her bands upon her knees, would rock backward and forward, giving vent to heart rending sobs. The church presented 'a deso late appearance. The magnificent decorative work on the Catholic church was smeared and and disfigured with mud, and. dirt. The corpses, when brought in upon stretchers, were placed unon the tops of the "pews. -The curios ity of some people, and the eagerness of others to find the bodies of their friends did not pre-' vent them from rushing 'in and out of the sacredediflce made more solemn by ,the pres ence of death. " Atthe school house morgue the attendants had to close the door against the people who clamored for admission. Had this not been done it would have been impossible to do any work. Relatives of the dead people who' had been brought In had to stand back and were .re fused admission. Some of tbe dead bodies were so bruised up about the face that it was not thought necessary to embalm them'to await identification by friends. One little baby girl had her head almost smashed to a jelly. One of the eyes was sunk almost into the middle of her head. It was 'fixed and glassy. After lookingat her face a moment the observer would turn away with a shudder. HcSwiGAX BEPALEING ALREADY BEGUN.

Powell Stackhonse, Vice President of the Cambria Iron Works, after starting a gang of men to work to clear out the debris in tbe works below the blast f ur nace,said it was hopedTo have the lower works running again in three weeks. The company desires to afford every encouragement to Its men. The trestle from the stone bridge across the the present channel of the Conemaugh has been completed, and tbe work of laying a temporary track into the town will be resumed to-morrow. Tbe rope foot bridge, which was completed this evening, was badly damaged before 9 o'clock to-night. The footway of boards is tied to the ropes and tho large amount of travel over it displaced a number of these. In the center it is supported by three skiSs which add greatly to its stability. Passengers going over it must keep ten feet apart. It is a rather precarious structure at best and as soon as possible will be replaced by a solid bridge. The ferry that was used to transport passengers yesterday took 8,000 people across the' Conemaugh to tbe stone bridge, ana the record to-day before tho foot bridge was com pleted was 5,000.

Captain Jones ar rived.from Braddock this afternoon with 160 men, and a lot more will be' here in the morning. , They, have with them everything necessary to remove the debris picks, shov els, axes, etc. To-night they are sheltered by a large tent in the middle of the space that has been swept clean. Captain Jones took a survey of the situa tion on his arrival and was soon impressed by the immensity of the ruin. He says there should be not less than 2,000, and if possible 3,000, men sent here at once. He has telegraphed this opinion to the Chamber Refugee! on the Hillside of Commerce, backing it by a demand for them. He wants them to bring all neces sary tools, and. says they should be formed into two camps, which should be guarded by an adequate force of military. He wants Pittsburg to send the men here,and he wants the Chamber of Commerce to demand the military guard from General'Beaver. The camp' should be supplied with cooks and everything necessary to, their subsistence. Many Laborers Needed. "The local people," said Captain Jones, "have only 600 men at work now, and these are nearly exhausted. One of these camps I tell you about should be in the southeast ern part of the town, and the other in the center. It will take not less than two weeks for such a force of men to clean this place. The sheriffs of Indiana and "Westmoreland counties should have the debris piled along the banks of the streams, and re-examined for human bodies. The Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce should ask them to' send out, men to do this at once. In my telegram to them to-night I make this suggestion." Adjutant General Hastings to-night sent this dispatch to he Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce: ' Chamber of Commerce, Pittsburg: It will be well to send at least 1,000 workmen. ? A View of Johnstown. with axes, picks, spades, saws and other tools, to move the debris. The men should be organ ized in gangs under competent bosses and be prepared to stay here ten days. I will furnish tents, and they can be supplied from the gen eral commissary. It is my judgment that all workmen living here and willing to work should be paid good wages, and then, to pre vent imposition, purchase supplies for them selves and families from the' general commis sary at reduced rates. This will prevent idle ness among the citizens. Captain Jones is here with 150 men, and has charge of all workmen from a distance. Among other tools, there shoud be 100 wheelbarrows and plenty of one inchrope. Please advise me. (Signed) D. H. Hastings, Acting General. Clearing- Away the Debris. General Hastings, in response to The Dispatch correspondent's question whether he thought the Chamber of Commerce peo ple would readily respond to the call for men and tools said: 'Undoubtedly so. "We are fairly or ganized, but not as perfectly as we might be. Everything is moving along in a satis factory manner, and by to-morrow night we will be making very material progress in clearing away the debris. In 10 days at least, with the force of men proposed and expected, our work will have shown a great degree of push and a probable early end. On the Banks- 5 the Conemaugh.

Five Thousand Survivors. Dr. J. J. Buchanan, of Pittsburg, has been placed in charge of the Bureau of In formation concerning survivors. His head quarters are over the new postof&ce, at -the corner of Main and Adams streets. ,Dr. Buchanan is assisted by Dr. H. J, McCona hay, of Pittsburg, and tbey have under them 15 men doing clerical work. Twenty different agencies were established by them at noon, and were held open until after 6 o'clock. All the survivors are requested to give in their names. They wrote them on slips of paper, and. in the evening each agency band ed in its collection to headquarters. The clerical force thereupon, proceeded to place them in alphabetical order. At a rough estimate there are 6,000 names already on the lis't of the survivors. Dr. Buchanan says a fresh clerical force is badly needed, as the men at work are nearly worn out, and he requested The Dispatch correspondent to make an urgent request for men from Pittsburg.

TOOK A STAFF COBBESFOSbSNT.i Johnstown, June a A big man with a big heart Is Adjutant General Hastings. Strict as he is in the performance of " his duty, he is nev ertheless as gentle as a woman dealing with the poor stunned beings who have lost their all. The writer has been near General Hastings on a number of occasions when little traits ot character unintentionally revealed the soldier as the man. This afternoon when the pitiless rain was pattering down upon the hundreds of. half-starved victims of the flood's ravages, who were gathered about the Commissary Department, General Hastings was compelled to announce to the crowd that no morn provisions could be given out until another carload of crackers arrived upon the scene. As he left the plat form, a woman, haggard and faint, bearing a baby in her arms, tapped bim timidly upon the arm. "Pleaselslr," said she, while the tears chased one another down her saddened and halt shameful countenance, "can't you give me a biteofbreadr Only a biter I haven't tasted anything since yesterday morning." "'Gainst orders," was .the General's laconic reply, as he strode away. He did not go far, however, until he had ordered one of his subor dinates to follow the woman and serve to her the steaming dinner which kindly bands had prepared for him. Being an eye-witness to the whole scene. I walked up to the General and asked him why he bad not given the woman something out of the general store. "I had given orders that no rations should be dispensed for an hour," said he, "and (with a good-natured smile) I couldn't countenance a reach of discipline." THE PENNSYLVANIA E0AD. Every Effort Is Being Made to Open tho Line for Travel. Philadelphia, June 3. The best informa tion that can be obtained to-day at the Penn sylvania railroad office in this city, is to tbe efj feet that a route will be patched up to Altoona within 36 hours, thus giving the 800 or more east' and west bound passengers laid up at that piace an opportunity, to get away from there. On the middle division of the main line the road is clear from Altoona, and they hope to get from Petersburg to Huntingdon some time to-day. From Huntingdon to Manayunk bridge there are several bad breaks. All but one span of tbe Manayunk bridge has been swept away. East of that point the Mays bridge is gone, and but one span remains ot tbe Granville bridge. From Lewiston to Harrlsburg. a distance of 65 miles, the line is clear. The railroad people expect soon to get a dis patch wire through to Altoona over the main line route when a correct list of tbe passengers on the Day express and mall train, who were left at Conemaugh, will be obtained, as well as the whereabouts of those who did not go to Altoona. From the best information obtaina ble it can be stated that Only seven of the passengers were lost. From Altoona westward, in tbe day line, the track is open to within a short distance of South Fork, where the bridge was washed away Friday evening. Between South Fork and Johnstown, 1.000 men are busy putting the track In'shape. At Johnstown and west of there several large gangs of workmen are employed. It is not believed that passen gers can be conveyed from Harrlsburg to Pitts burg over tbe main line inside a week or ten days. As to the transportation of freight and malls nothing definite can be learned. THE EELIC HOOTERS Should be Promptly and Effectually Ordered Away From the Scene. tFROU A STAFT COBBESFOXOENT.J Nineveh, June 3. Some measures should be taken at once to effectually squelch the fiendish relic hunters. They are here in full force and large numbers, and some of the tricks they resprt to'in their efforts to secure mementos of the flood are almost criminal in their cruelty. While working amid the smold ering ruins about the stone bridge at Johns town this morningl saw a morbid monomaniac secure the charred bones of an infant from amongthe smoking debris and wrapping them carefully In a newspaper, carry them away with a look of triumph on his face. At this place, where tbe dead almost out number the living, some frightful deeds have been perpetrated by the searchers for relics. One man stole an old bandana kerchief from about the head of a dead colored woman. An other removed a shoe from an old, gray-haired man, whose stiff and mangled corpse wasf ound dangling in a tree, while still another possessed himself of the sheet which was thrown over the remains of a child, leaving the body at the mercy of a weeping heaven. Nor are the relic hunters tho only class who desecrate tbe sanctity of the City of the Dead. The heartless crowds of excursionists who have thronged tbe regions round about for the past few days would be more at home in a jail than anywhere else if their actions go for' aught. Some of them have gone through the town singing, whistling and cracking the coars est of jokes, while others have trampled o'er tbe coffins strewn about the roads with an utter disregard for their sacred and hallowed contents.
