THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, s PRIDAT, JUNE 7, 1889.
a.
K
Johnstown, reports that !t trill require 10,000
men for SO days, with all modorn appliances
to clear the wrecks along the tentailesof
-destruction, take out the corpses and the car
casses of dead animals and place the city In
safe sanitary condition. This trill cose double
the amount now In the handsof tbe committee,
which docs not include the relief for the But
t enng and destitute, which is very great, all
of which has been carefully attended to.
The destitute are brought to this city, fed,
clothed and housed, or sent f reo to friends all
over the land, We ask that the generous sub
scriptions which are coming from all over the
country be continued until sufficient funds are
provided to complete the above work, of which
due notice will be given through the press.
Wm. McCbeebt, Chairman,
Kcrnville on Fire,
The next startler was a report that Kern
ville was on fire, and that Mr. Scott had
asked Hr. Trump to send engines, but ap
prehensions were allayed when, at 4:30
o'clock, the flames were reported under con
trol. The work of the Belief Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce was a continuation
of the day -previous. A variation of
the programme was offered when
Auctioneer J. D. Bailey offered the
Starr piano donated for the relief of the
sufferers. The expenditure of a great deal
of oratory only brought out 5275 in bids and
Hr. Bailey withdrew the instrument in dis
gust and proceeded to invite chances at $5
each. In a few minutes he had 250 scooped
in and confidently started out to make it
5500.
Donations continued to come forward,
both cash and supplies of all kinds, among
them 17 cases from Erie which the mayor
of that city sent through C. T. Clark.
It seems there is some disagreement
among the doctors and you know the re
ported consequence when doctors disagree.
Messrs. McCreery and Scott had a pow
wow by telegraph and finally McCreery
telegraphed:
"We are besieged from morning until nieht
with physicians who want to go to Johnstown.
There seems to be some jealousy between cer
tain cliques. I think we must have a central
oSce and have them all apply at one place.
Dr. Oldshue favored placing Dr. "Webb
Xowman at the head of the bureau, as his
acquaintance with the town strongly recom
mended him.
No Signs of Exhaustion.
Philadelphia made an offer of the services
of 500 men.
The Supply Committee sent out several
train loads of provisions during the day.
Among the contributions were Eunnette &
Sons, S500 worth of furnishing goods; Oil
"Well Supply Company, 1,500 feet of rope;
Pennsylvania Manufacturing, Mining and
Supply Company, 140 barrels of lime;
, Mayor Lee, Hudson, O.. 7 cases of provi
sions and $51; Mayor Babb, of Minneapolis,
16 cars of flour; Burgess Stickman, of Bed
. ford, 2 cars of provisions; Pittsburg Salt
Company, 1 car of salt; Chairman Akers,
Cleveland, 1 car of provisions; Cavitt, Pol
lock & Co., 23 boxes of lanterns and 2 gross
tricks.
Receipts at the Exchange.
Messrs. Thomas Hackett and J. C. Morris,
of the Petroleum Stock and Metal Ex
change were in receipt of many communica
tions from other Jlxchanges yesterday. The
Chicago Board of Trade telegraphed that
the President of its relief committee would
arrive in Pittsburg this morning. J. E.
Simmons.of the If ew York Stock Exchange,
telegraphed that over $30,000 had been sub
scribed and will be distributed by the Ex
change. The XewXbrk Cotton Exchange
cent Messrs. Hackett and Morris word that
its contribution had been sent to Governor
Beaver. J. D. Bockafeller, who was
solicitedfor a lift, stated that he had as
sisteoVfnrongh another medium, that the
Standard Oil Company had contributed
10,000 through Mr. McKelvey.
Charles Frederick, an engineer on the
"West Virginia Central Bailway, asked for
transportation for himself and for his
mother's body to Johnstown, so that he
might bury it beside that of his father.
Mrs. Annie E. Frederick was 85 years old.
She was drawn out of the boiling Cone
maugh flood and died at Mercy Hospital.
Two of her grand nephews, Samuel and
John Honeycamp, with their families, were
lost.
Many Ton of Raiment.
The second-hand clothiers at Old City
Hall spent another busy day, but they were
cheerful, and the grub furnished by Mr.
Hagan still held out, and the day being
warmer, ice cream tasted better than the
day before. The committee is not disposed
to look a gift horse in the mouth, and the
members say they have no occasion to do so.
Mr. Hagan still refuses pay for the food,
Donations of clothing come in as fre
quently as ever, and still they find recipi
ents. The architectural styles of headgear
are of all dates within five or ten years, and
some resemble the pattern in which Presi
dent Harrison was portrayed quite fre
quently last summer, but with the excep
tion of tiles the styles would pass muster
-with any except, perhaps, dudes and du
'dines. A box of very fine gear was re
ceived from the Collegiate Dutch Beformed
Church, corner of Filth avenue and Forty
eeveuth street, Hew York. Miss B. Tausig,
of Chicago, sent a large box packed with
Hospital supplies.
"What seems to be most neededare baby
clothing and women's skirts.
GIVEN UP HOPE.
Mr. Frank Paulson Sntisfied That Hi Sister
Was Lost Description of the
Jewelry She Wore.
Frank Paulson, whose sister was a passenger
lu the second section of the Day express, that
was wrecked at Johnstown, returned home last
sight. Mr. Paulson has been at the scene of
the disaster since Monday, and only returned
when he learned positively that bis sister was
lost. Miss Jennie tras on tho train with an old
friend. Miss Bryant, of Germantown. Both
young ladies had been bndcmaids tbe night
before at tho wedding of Miss Paulson's cou
sin. They both had their corsage bouquets, that
of Miss Paulson being red, and Miss Bryant's
was white. Miss Paulson and her friend can
cot be found, but it is known that they were
swept away in tho flood. Miss Paulson wore
four rings. Ono was a plain gold band, one a
diamond, one a cameo and tbe other was a
gold band with four stones. She wore
also a bracelet that would attract attention as
something ont of the ordinary run of brace
lets. -Her brothers, who were most devoted to
her, think that her body may yet be found
from this description of her jewelry.
BIKGDIAE COINCIDENCES.
A Floating Door Brought News to Pitts
burg Its Subsequent Verification.
Of tho many strange incidents of the flood
probably none Is more singular than the coin
cidence mentioned below. FinleyTorrens,Esq.,
si this city, was among tnose caving relatives
In Johnstown, a cousin, Mr. Hamilton, and his
family living there. The Saturday morning
after the disaster, while the flood bearing. its
widely-scattered freight of debris was still rush
ing by tbo Allegheny wharves, Mr. Torrens
and bis son' Frank viewed the spectacle from
the suspension bridge. Soon, amid a general
mass of debris, there floated along a door pecu
liarly paneled, bearing the street number 324.
Mr. Frank Torrens immediately recognized it
as tbe door of his cousin's Johnstown resi
dence. The circumstance of this single piece
of wood out of tbe general mass which came
tor days happening here at a distance of so
nany miles under the eyes of probably the only
itts burger who could recognize it was strange
nough; but hardly more singular than a
rther chain in the link. When Mr. Torrens
xt morning picked up The Dispatch he
r in tbe list of sufferers the name of Mr.
mil ton, with the residence given in full at
Bedford street" This was tbo only case
ng many in that issue where the street and
ber of tbe sufferer were given; but it was

THE DIVIDING
Mr. Max Moorhead Teils How
the Reservoir Was Made,
ANDSH0WS ITS STRENGTH
The filnlco Gate Theory Disposed Of Why
lbs Beit Engineer Cboie South Fork
for the Reservoir Col. Uneer's Gallant
Efforts to Prevent the Disaster Col. T.
I. Roberts on the Grcnt Rainfall.
Mr. Max Moorhead talked very willingly yes
terday about what he knew of the South Fork
dam as it was built in 1852-8. He said to a Dis
patch reporter who f onnd him in the office of
the Monongahela Navigation Company: "I
have a fairly clear recollection of the dam. I
acted as clerk of the work. The site was not
chosen for the reservoir until a careful survey
of the country bad been made by the best
engineers of the State. They chose the place
which the reservoir occupied till last Friday
because the limited extent of the watershed of
the feeders of tho lake seemed to assure its
safety. Practically they asserted by their
choice their belief that it was impossible for
such a catastrophe as has just taken place to
occur.
Great Care Exercised.
"The building of tho dam was conducted with
great care. The first thing done was to make
an embankment. Layer was laid upon layer of
clay, each layer being well puddled, that is
wetted and packed down so as to bo water
tight. Then the lower side of the dam which
slanted more than the upper side, was cased
with heavy rocks many of them big enough to
require six horses to draw them. The stones
were often as big as that," continued Mr.
Moorhead, pointing to a very large desk or bu
reau in the room, "and they were laid one upon
another to the top of the dam. The inner side
of the dam was cased with a hand-laid wall.
This was of smaller stone, and was not in
tended for strength, but to keep the water
from crumbling and washing away the earth in
the dam. A sluice was cat through the rock
at the side of the lake a Bhort distance
from, the dam. It was about 65
feet wide and 8 feet deen. The rock
taken ont in cutting the sluice was used in rip-
rapping the outer side of the dam. The en
gineers thought that weir able to carry
off five times as much water as it would ever
in human probability Do called upon to do.
"There were five pipes, each 2 feet in diame
ter, laid to a culvert at the base of the dam and
to its center. These pipes were governed by
machinery from a tower at the top of the dam.
They were provided with valves and they were
used to supply the canal when the water in the
latter was low. Two years after the comple
tion of the dam the lake was sold by the State
to the Pennsylvania Railroad. The railroad
nad no use for the lake and the dam's machin
ery was allowed to stand idle. Tho tower
burned shortly afterward, and the people liv
ing near the dam stole the lead with which the
canal sluice pipes bad been stopped up. Then
the water got into the culvert and there was a
break in the dam, about which I do not re
member much."
The Dam Decayed.
"When the lake finally came Into tho hands
of the South Fork Fishing Club they gave out
tha work of repairing the dam to a contractor.
However, when he had fixed up the breach in
the dam to a certain extent there came some
heavy rains and the new work was washed
away. The second time the contract was given
ont better results were secured. The dam was
made as solid as ever, and to compensate for
the closing of the outlet through the pipes
which fed the canal the weir at the side of the
dam was enlarged ten feet."
"You do not think the closing of those pipes
had anything to do with the destruction of the
damT"
"No, certainly not The ten feet added to
the weir afforded a greater means f escape for
the water In the lake than the pipes bad ever
done. I see that a general misconception of
the size of the weir exists, even among mem
bers of the club. 1 am sure it was fully 75 feet
wide. It Trnft mnilA that tin Via lr tt,!,.!..
beyond all donbt be able to keep any rise in
vuec. iuo uam waa not uuilb WHQ wo Jaea
that water would ever flow over the top of it,
and through all sorts of weather the weir was
always able to keep the level of the water far
below the comb of the dam. It must have been
an unprecedented rainfall on the mountains
wnicn made the lake rise ten Inches an hour,
when it had heretofore never risen more than
one inch an hour."
Colonel Uneer's Heroism. ,
It was also learned from friends of Colonel
TJnger, the president of the South Fork Fish
ing Club, that that gentleman made heroic ef
forts to save the dam. When Colonel TJnger
found on Friday morning that the water was
rising In the lake as it had never risen before,
he directed, as has been related before, the
Italian laborers who were at hand to dig an
other outlet. They succeeded in making a
shallow ditch, but then encountered shale rock
which their picks could not penetrate. They
uaa no Diasung maienais,r30 mey wiaened the
outlet as much as possible. It appeared to have
very little effect upen the water which was
rapidly nearing the edge of the dam, so Colonel
Unnger sentfor a plow and had it drawn across
the dam thus throwing ut a small bank of
earth toward the water. He had long before
this caused warnings of the Imminent danger
of the dam's bursting to be sent down the val
ley. The water made short work of the fragile
fringe of earth on top of the dam. Tbo rest is
all known. It onght to be remembered that
when Colqnel TJnger tried so hard to avert the
catastrophe he was suffering from severe palpi
tation of the heart a complaint from which
he suffers much.
"I felt I ought to do everything! could and
kept at it, although my heart was jumping at a
furious rate all the time," said Colonel TJnger.
The views of such a well-known and eminent
engineer as Colonel T.P. Roberts could not but
be enlightening at this crisis, and a Dispatch
reporter Interviewed him yesterday. It is a
fact worth noting in connection with the men
tion of Colonel Roberts that the viaduct over
tbe South Fork, built for tbe Portage Railway
by his father, the late Colonel Milnor Roberts
a structure with a span of 80 feet, that has been
long famed as one of the finest pieces of ma
sonry in the country was destroyed by the
South Fork flood.
What Colonel Roberts Thinks.
"No hydraulic engineer would be sale in ven
turing opinions in regard to tho cause of tho
disaster to tne South Fork reservoir without
personal knowledge of its condition previous to
tbe accident or positive information regard
ing its dimensions, plan of construction and
tbe means provided for tbe escape of its sur
plus water. And in order to have an intelli
gent idea of the effects of its breaking, tbo
engineer would want to know its area and
storage capacity, also the drainage area of the
region tributary to it. etc,, etc Now so far as
i have oeen aoie to learn none or these facts
have been stated by those who have visited tbe
place, though I have no doubt they will be
fully developed in tbe trials before the Coro-ner.-
"As I have never visited tho place, my opin
ions just now can have but little value, but
this much, at least, can be said in a general
way, viz.: That the rainfall in tbe region tribu
tary to the reservoir must havo been entirely
unprecedented.
"As I understand, not much. If any, more
than 23 square miles Is Included in the basin
above tho reservoir. That is an area not very
different from tbe combined areas of the cities
of Pittsburg and Allegheny, if, indeed, as
much. It would sot make moro than an ordi
nary township. '
"The dam, as I understand, was from bill to
hill, about 1,000 feet long and about 83 feet high
at the highest point. Tho pond covered abont
700 acres at least for the present I will assnmo
that to be the case. We are told, also,
that there was a waste weir at one
end 75 feet wide and 10 feet below tbe
comb or top of the dam. This weir was
ordinarily closed with a light rwire netting to
prevent fish from escaping; and I suppose
caused but a trifling impediment to the outlet
of the waters. It could not have remained in
when the pressure was at Its maximum.
-jnow we are told that witntuis weir open and
discharging freely to the utmost of its capacity
that nevertheless the pond, or, lake, rose ten
inches per hour, until finally it overflowed the
top, and, as I understand, the dam broke by be
ing eaten away at the top.
"Well, we have here the elements for very
simple calculation as to the amount of water
precipitated by tbe flood, provided these pre
mises are accurate. To raise 700 acres of water
to a height of ten feet would require abont
300.000,000 cubic feet of water, and while this
was rising the waste weir would discharge, an
enormous volume. It would be difficult to Bay
just bow much without a full knowledge of the
shape of its side walls, approaches and outlets
but if the rise required ten hours the waste
nver might have discharged perhaps 80,000,000
cubic leet. We would then have a total of
flood waters of 980,000,000 cubic feet. This
would indicate a rainfall of about eight inches
over the 25 square miles. As so much did not
appear to have fallen at the hotel and dam.lt
Is more than likely that even more, therefore
than eight Inches was precipitated In places
further up. These figures 1 hold tentatively,
bat I an jaaeh testified to bgUere tbat a otoad-
hurst must have occurred on ono of' the runs
above the reservoir.
An Immense Rise.
There is no better way to illustrate the vol
ume of water I have referred to than this. The
lake was, say Hi miles long by K mile wide,
and it rose ten feet in the manner stated.
Now that would fill tho channel of
the Ohio from bank to bank with 10 feet of
water for more than four miles and all this, it
is to be recollected, gathered in one day from
a very Insignificant pinch of territory. I shall
certainly await the development of informa
tion regarding this lamentable disaster with
me greatest interest"
Colonel Roberts also informed -the reporter
that he had learned from the Signal Service
officers in Pittsburg that the record of the rain
fall kept at the nearest point to the dam in
Johhstown only showed a fall of 23-10 inches,
whereas to produce a rise of 10 Inches an hour
in the South Fork lake nearly a foot of rain
must nave taiien witmn tne small watersnea.
As to the reports that the efficiency of the
weir was lessened by the use of screens to keep
the fish within the lake, Mr. Moorhead said
that they were light, swinging affairs of wire
which would not impede the flow of water.
On Friday morning Colonel Unyer found some
of these screens had been carried away by tho
torrent of water, and he himself cut the re
maining screens loose.
THE LADIES' BELIEF.
Over One Hundred Women Stilt At lending to
Refugees at tbo Second Presbyter
Ian Church Persons Sent to
Their Destinations.
The work of the Ladies' Relief Committee at
the Second Presbyterian Church is still going
on in a manner that to tho outsider Is Bimply
wonderful. Over 100 women have left their
homes and household cares aside, and, with rare
feelings of charity and good will, are attending
to the wants of tho Johnstown sufferers.
Yesterday morning the ladies bad their sew
ing machines brought to the church, and a
dozen more than willing people were soon at
work sewing np many tears in dresses and
ripping and renting old clothes to fit. One of
the hardest workers said vesterday: "We are
sot only going to see that these people are
properly clothed, but we shall see to it especial
ly that they do not suffer from ill-fitting gar
ments. The ladies have been hampered in their work
considerably by the crowd of sightseers who
gather in the hallway of the church for the
simple reason of gratifyingtbeirmorbld carios
ity by gazing upon the sufferers. The ladies do
not want sightseers, and only workers and suf
ferers are welcome at the church. People
Who Have No Business
there should keep away, as they are interfering
with the work. Yesterday it was found neces
sary to post pages at the door, and those hav
ing no business were not admitted. Mrs. Win.
Price is the energetic page stationed at the
front door, and has done yeoman service. No
one passes her that would hamper tho work of
the committee
Yesterday Maud' Allison, of Thirty-eighth
street, a sister of the boy who was spoken of in
yesterday's Dispatch, haunted the church all
davin quest of information of her mother, who
was visiting at Johnstown at the time of the
flood. Her mother is dead, but no one as yet
has had the courage to tell the girl.
The Bureau of Information,
which Is presided over by Mrs. Dr. jSaston, as
sisted Dy airs. Samuel iiubley -and Mrs. Dr.
Wallace, Is the department most sought after.
All day long there was a crowd of callers anx
iously inquiring for missing friends and rela
tives. It was discovered yesterday that Henry L.
Peterson and wife, of Allegheny, were missing.
This fact was learned from friends who were at
the church making inquiries about them, and
who state that Mr. Peterson and his wife were
either on the train that was destroyed or else
were stopping at a hotel In Johnstown. They
have not been heard from, and it is feared that
they are among the victims of the disaster.
People Cared For.
The people cared for by the ladies' society
yesterday and either sent to their destinations
or provided with shelter here were:
Mr. and Mrs. Glace, who were sent to Alliance,
O. : Mrs. 3. C Trawatha, tent to Benwood, W.Va. ;
J. F. C. berhardt, Charles and Andrew Hecker,
cent to Un tier. Pa. ; William Fleldhanr, sent to
Philadelphia; Mrs. and Miss Hecker. sent to But
ler county: Mrs. Ureble and three children, sent
to Cleveland. O ; Mr. and Mrs. Seymour and tiro
children, sent to Canada: Mr. and Mrs. -Fred
Kline, sent to Wheeling, W. Va.: Effle Slebert,
Fanny Harmony, sent to Sblppleyshnrg, Pa.;
Mrs. Sophia Hlnkleland three children, Mrs. Kate
Ilasllne-. Georae tvetAt&ln. Henrr- T?n..e sent tn

Mrs. Slebert and two children, going to Germany:
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kearg and four children, Min
nie, Bosa, Magpie and Katy Wilt.
Many packages of clothing, bedding, etc.,
were received at the church during tho day.
Thomas Seigh and wife who were published
as among the missing were reported to the la
dies society as being saved and are with friends
In this city.
TO THE UPPE CEILING.
Hoiv Airs. Cooper Was Driven TJpstnlrs, to
a Bed That Floated.
Mrs. Cooper bad a thrilling experience escap
ing from the waters. Her husband, Dr. Cooper,
saw the waters coming down the valley like a
big mountain and cried out to his family to rah
to the new part of the house, there having been
a brick addition made lately, as he thought it
would withstand the rush of the waters better
than tbe wooden portion. Fortunately they
did not reach the brick portion, the rapidly rhv
lng water cutting off the only door leading to
it, and they had to flee to the upper story.
Even there the water rose Inch by inch until
Mrs. Cooper had to take to the bed to escape.
As the water rose it bore the bed higher and
higher until it was within a foot or soot the
celling. Here Mrs. Cooper found it very diffi
cult to breathe, and would doubtless have
smothered or been crushed to death "between
the bed and ceiling by the rising water, had not
tbe roof parted.
The water floated the bed up even with the
roof when the house gave way and floated
down with the flood. The bed floated down
with the roof to the stone bridge where, with
some difficulty, Mrs. Cooper was rescued. Dr.
Cooper climbed to the roof through a trap
door and was knocked off by wreckage, but
was rescued farther down the river.
TOUCHED THE1E CONSCIENCE.
An Artistic Picture Causes Barglnrsjo
'Leave Their PInnder Behind. '
A curious series of events occurred In the
house of John Moreland, one of the city elec
tricians, on Bluff street, Wednesday evening.
In the evening several neighbors had gathered
in the parlor and indulged inatemperance talk
which was illustrated by sketches by Mr.
Bryant. The last picture was one of a little
boy leaving homo and the same boy later on
with a bottle of whisky in his pocket After
the guests were gone and all were asleep burg
lars entered, and after ransacking the house of
money. Jewels, silver, etc. carried theirnlnnder
into the parlor, where the picture caught their
eye.
Thursday moraine the cictnm of thn llttio
boy was found with a cigar In bis month and a
handkerchief bandage over his eye. The addi
tional work was well done. Under the picture
was written: -"There Is the history of Blinkey
Morgan." The plnnder was found in the mid
dle of the floor with a placard on it reading:
"Wo would not take anything from you."

by Grief Over Thejr Losses.
CRIES IN A HOSPITAL.
Three Deaths at Mercy Yesterday, Out of
Thirty Survivors More Sick andlnjnrod
Brought to tbe City Last Night ns Well
af Refugees from the Devastation.
Although hardened by a succession of scenes
since the flood that would fairly make the blood
of any brave man coagulate, the scenes which
were witnessed by a Dispatch reporter at
Mercy Hospital last night caused the tears to
come unbidden and caused a thrill and shiver
to pass over him as if the angel of death had
suddenly drawn aside the portals and given him
a glance of death, yet life, but with all its
beauties gone.
Thirty patients had been received by the
hospital and 20 still remained. As a favor to
The DisrATCH, Sister Superior Magdalene
took him through the wards. The rooms were
dimly lighted, which added to tbe gloom of the
surroundings.
Had Jnst Died.
Mrs. Julia Brady bad just died before the re
porter's visit, leaving a 15-year-old daughter
sobbing with grief. In a bed In the middle of
one ward was Mr. George Slich, his
life fast ebbing away. By his side
sat bis wife. Ho had been sick and she had
held him on to a roof 15 hours, but his days
seemed numbered.
Nearby was an old lady, ner silver naii;
spread on the pillow and her lips clinched to
keep back a cry of pain from the heart as
well as body her all was gone.
Praying for Death.
Hark! what was that! "Oh God, oh Lord!
Why did you do it? Let me die; I must; I
must." It came from a room in the basement.
His name was Albert Ross; his wife, babv son
and daughter were swept away. Is it a wonder
that nature gave up the strain and left reason
dethroned, a body without a soulf
Another her name was Betsie Foster, noth
ing more was known of her, was demented.
She'tnust have bad a father, mother.brother or
sister.
"Oh, Dick, is that youT" came from a man
raised on his elbow, but the reporter passed on.
"Her mother is dead," "her father is gone,"
"shocked," "conclusion," and so the explana
tions went on.
Rescued Only to Die.
One man, Mr. John Horan, fought and
prayed for bis wife's life. She was rescued
only to die in the hospital. He went back to
Johnstown a broken man. Two others died,
and their names are given below with the
others cared for by the hospital:
Mrs. Sarah Young, contusion and wound of
knee.
Koso Young, prostratea.
Benton Boenlg, typhoid pneumonia; serious.
Be&sle Foster, Dartlally demented.
Mrs. Margaret Donnely, pleurisy and fractured
ribs.
Miss Eeslah Vance, exposure.
Mr. George Slick, congestion of the brain and
pneumonia, probably die.
Mrs George Slick, contusion and shock.
Nannie Secrlst. exposure, removed to friends.
Mary E. Frederick, daughter or Mrs. Ann Fred
erick, whOdled Wednesday evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Weaver and eight children; the

were in stock were sent from Latrobe and
Greensnurg and a few other small places.
Some were recovered from the ruins at Johns
town, but wben tbe final count comes, it will be
found that less coffins were needed than was
supposed. This would not give a clear idea of

"It Is my opinion that the loss of Ufa fan
good deal less than reported. Senator Up-
peiuiau, niui ouuio uwsia, nu vuummg Up
the entire polling list of tbe Conemaugb Val
ley last night. As they figured It, the loss of
life will not go much above 4,500. As I under
stand it, there was hardly any loss of life at
Nineveh, Kerinville or Morrellville. It was
all above in Cambria City and Johnstown. In
making tbe estimate Mr. Upperman counted
each male voter, and allowed five to each one,
and then from the number of survivors re
ported and estimated proportion of the popula
tion lost arrived at his conclusion. However
nothing but the final count will tell the actual
figures."

complications and much litigation are sure to

tributing indirectly, we are now anxious

their all, and this is a rare opportunity for
charitably disposed persons to relieve a
great many with a comparatively small out

What the Public Likes.
Whitmyre & Co. arc meeting with an
amonnt of success that daily increases in
their efforts to legitimately introduce and
advertise the "Iron City Brand" of flour.
The large amount now sold shows, beyond a
doubt, that the best-selling brands carry
their advertisement with their use. "Iron
City Brand" has come to stay and the pub
lic takes kindly to that class of goods which
shows for itself what it is made of and how
a trial brings out its excellencies.
