Kremer, Secretary of the flood Belief Commission, appointed to distribute the fund which Governor Beaver received for the relief of the sufferers in the Conemaugh Yalley and other localities, has completed his report. He says: The contributions of the nation and of the world In General through individuals and local committees, were concentrated at four principal points: In the hands of Governor Beaver at Harrisburg; at Philadelphia with the Permanent Belief Committee of the city; at Pittsburg with the Flood Relief Committee there, and at New York with their Belief Com mittee. Immediately on the formation of the commission the Governor's fund" was trans ferred to it, and later the other funds, except such sums as had been sent direct to the several flooded districts or expended by the committees in the way of relief, were trans ferred to the commission for distribution. Included in the "Governor's fund" are sums from many general relief committees, some of them being from the Belief Committee of Bos ton, 1153,000; of Brooklyn. 590,000; of Ohio, through Governor Forafcer, over 170,000: or San Francisco.SoQ.000: of the District of Colum bia, over 41,000; of Providence, R. L, over $35, VOO: of Newark, N. J., nearly $30,000; of Syra cuse. N. Y., nearly $15,000; from the Legisla tures of New Hampshire and Connecticut, 110,000 each, and from the citizens of Iowa through the State Treasurer. $11,526 49. .AMOUNTS PAID BT COMMITTEES. On June 3 and 14, the relief committee of If ew York sent to Governor Beaver moneys to the amount of 100,000. which have been carried en the books as part of the New York fund, and the same committee transferred to the Commission, on June 27, July U, July 12 and Oc tober 7, the further sums of $50,000, $250,000, (100.000 ana $16,199 85. On July 15, by formal action, the Pittsburg Belief Committee gave into the hands of the commission $400,000, and on September 25 the further cum of $160,000. The Philadelphia Belief Committee, by for mal vote, transferred to the commission on July 11, $500,000, and on October 4. $100,000. In addition to these four funds, large sums of money were sent by individuals and by local committee, without passing through the hands of the commission, to Johnstown, WiUIamsport and other places, to be distributed by the sev eral local committees of the districts. Among the moneys sent to the Governor were some accompanied by requests that they be appropriated to specihc purposes; this, in all cases was done, and the recipients were fur nished the names of the donors, and were re quested to make to them personal acknowl edgments. In addition to the above, mer chants in the cities gave assistance to their customers in the valley, by canceling their en tire claims in some cases, and by largely re ducing them in others; contributions were sent to individuals, churches, schools, firemen. band. postofBce employes, policemen and by the several trades unions to members of their crafts a statement of all which it has been im possible to obtain. SOCIETY COXTEIBCTIOXS. The many charitable and social organizations of the country sant special contributions for their fellow xuembers. There were subscribed ajld distributed by them m addition to supplies, amounts as follows, as was learned from re- orts from officials of the organization: ndenendent Order or Odd Fellows 60, 045)69 Masunlc orders 49,71115 Knights or Pythias 30.470 1 Itoyal Arcanum. .. 27,137 41 Grand Army or the Kepnhlic 1,679 02 Junior Order or United American Me chanics 13.893 30 Xnlctitd or the Uoldcn Eagle. 9.852 Xmphtuor Honor 8, BO 70 KnlrUtsor the Mvstlc Chain 6,15130 benior Order or United American Me chanics 5,833 07 Improved order or Bed Men 4,858:6 1'atrlotlc Sons or America 522 70 Improved Order or Heptasopbs 3,265 60 Woman's Belier Corps, Grand Army of theKepubllc 1.010 00 Bed Cross (li addition) 1,709 55 M'oman's Johnstown Belier Corps or Pittsburg 1,735 CO Military Order of the Loyal Legion 1.200 00 .Ladles or the Grand Army or the Re public 877 S3 Eons or Veterans 75 12 Union Veteran Legion 524 55 Total..... S249.1S0 06 From otber parts or the State monevs re ceived amounted to $10,060 76. The total cavh contributions, therefore, so far as the com mission has been able to obtain information, are as follows: To the four principal funds, t3.307.b06 50; to local committees direct, $435, 012 2b; through charitable and social organiza tions. $259,540 8.'; through aid societies 41,- paj ou: to eisn citizens, i,duu; tnrougn tne MatorofSt. Louis. $5,200: through the Sew York World. $16,929 30; through the Hew York Mail and ';rprv1S49,0S0 08, showing a total of 14.116,801 4S. EXAGGERATED BErOBTS. After discovering the operations of the commissary departments and dwelling on other matters well known to the public, Secretary Kremer says: The wages paid in all departments were larger than could have been commanded In a regular business, but apart from the necessi ties of the case this was not a serious matter, the difference not being large, and the em ployes, as lar as was possible, having been se lected from sufferers by the flood. In the whole conduct of the work, reductions in the working force were made as rapidlv as possible, the sacredness of the trust being continually in mind. Statements heretofore made by the commission, and published by others, as to the number of person drowned in the ConemanEh Valley are not correct, even though they were copied lrom the records, as even at this time, changes are being made with added Informa tion. Largely exaggerated as were the reports at the time of the loss of life, they were excusa ble, for to persons who were acquainted with the location of the thickly settled part of the Taller, the great wonder is that so many es caped. The location being unfavorable for easy escape from the waters let loose from the dam above, the difficulty was greatly increased by reason of a general inundation which ex isted nrior to the breaking of the dam. The most careful investigation continued to the present time, shows the number to have been ,112. DIVISION or LOSSES. While both the commission and the Chil dren's Aid Society of Johnstown received hun dreds of letters from persons willing to adopt such children, but one case has been reported of actual adoption. The number of males Ion was 923, of whom 498 were found and identified, 252 found and not identified; the female lost number 1.219. of whom 617 were found and Identified and 310 found but not identified. The sex of 44 persons whom were found could not be ascertained. Johnstown's quota of dead was 1,114: Cambria Citv, 360; Woodvale, 270: Oonemaugb borough, 167: Millville. 115; South Fork. 5: Mineral Poinr, 16; Franklin borough, 17; East Conemaugh. 13; hotel guests and railroad passengers, 6i Forty-nine of the dead were under I year old; 136 f r..m 1 to 5, and l IrSni 6 to JS; 3a irom 10 2: 313 from -JO to B0; iC9 1 rem 30 to 40; 173 from 40 10 50; 135 from M to 00; 102 from 60 to 70; 36 from 70 to 80; 6 from "" oiic ui im couia not be ascer tained. A'ter speaking of different methods sug gested for the distribution of relief. Secre tary Kremer says: The number of widows is 124 and the amount received uy them as shown by the records is $183,201, In addition to which there has been set aside for these children a sum which when paid, will amount to $108,501 For the care of the children made orphans by the flod It was decided to appropriate moneys to be paid at fixed Intervals rather than to make payment at one time of the whole amount determined for KTlr-S:, A" arrnBement was made with the Girard Life Insurance Annuity and Trust Com pany, of Philadelphia, by which they agreed to allow a fair rate of interest, compounded an iiually, on such sum of money, as with its ac cretions, would permit to be paid to each or phan the sum of ioO annually until tbev shall reach the age of 16 years. The amount re quired for this purpose was $119,616 88. ESTIMATED LOSSES. The amount of loss la the Conemaugh Val. I ley, as given In the sworn statements of the claimants, reaches the sum of 9,674.100. The estimate, however, made by the several local district commissions is about ono-fourtn less than this, and is probably nearly correct In addition to the above, heavv losses ere sus tained by corporations who did not make state ments to the commission. An effort was made by the "Board of Inquiry" of Johnstown to ob tain fair estimates oi euch losses, and the state ment below preseuts the result, which, while not full nor official, is the most complete avail able: Lots of claimants, as by sworn state ments. $9,674,105: estimate of losses to borough property. $164,630: estimate of J?sc school property. $43,607; estimate' losses to Are comoanlo, $37,151; estimate of losses to churches, $215,450; estimate of losses to street railroad comDany, mi: "ate "r losses to railroad companies. $l,400.oou, esti mate of losses to manufacturing companies (Cambria Iron Company not included). $287, 620.

DIFFICULTIES OF ADJUSTMENT. The labor involved in deciding upon the merits of the various claims and upon the amounts to be awarded was very great, and a fair adjustment was attended with many diffi culties. While the sworn statements as to the amount of loss and of property remaining are a protection to the commission, yet it was soon found that they were, in a large number of cases, absolutely unreliable, not only by reason of an attempt to magnify losses fortbe purpose of receiving a larger award, butmainly because of the exaggerated valnes which naturally are placed on one's own possessions. In most cases the amount of loss given is largely greater than that given In their first statement and as a rule about one-third larger than the estimate as made by the local district committees. This should be considered in con nection with the statement of percentages paid, as the latter are calculated on losses as given in the sworn statements. It was also found that in very few cases claimants had made a full return of their pos sessions, excepting their property directly in the Conemaugh Valley. In the final decision upon any case, therefore, in addition to such lniormaiion as was obtained from otber sources, consideration was given to the orig inal statement of the claimant to the report by the local district committees and to the sworn statement as to the loss and to all the other features of the case, as value of prop erty remaining, health, age and dependents, as shown in the statements, while as to the gen eral merits of the claimants, almost absolute reliauce was placed on the citizens of Johns town, wno nad Deen selected Dy tne people themselves for the purpose of deciding upon tms point. AMOUNT DISTBIBTTED. The accounts as a whole do not, tberefore,ap pear in the books of the treasurer but are shown in the general office of the commission. Moneys received were acknowledged and de posited by one department of the office, and the accompanying letters were filed in another de partment, and all payments were made bv draft or by check. Except in the "first distribution" In the Conemaugh Valley, when only the en dorsement of the recipients was required on the orders and cbects, and in the final distri bution in which the checks themselves con tained a formal receipt all payments made by the commission of every character, were formally receipted, which receipts are filed with the records of the commission. While not mentioned as a matter of special credit, yet it is gratifying to say that in the care and dis bursement of this large fund no accidents have happened, and the moneys have reached the objects intended without loss on then ay.
