Johhstoww, Pa., Jan. 2. Th. Interne
excitement of th. p.t lorty-eight hour. ha.
proved too much for many of the .uflerer.
who ewaped death in th. flood. M.ny cm.
of n.rvoa. proUreiion, torn, ol a very
erlnui nature, hav. been reported to th. at
tending phyiiei.n. lo-night Ilraia lever ha.
developed in hall a doten iniitancet, while
torn, are threatened with pneumonia and
kindred ilia. Mr. John Connelly, ol Mor.
relUville, who lot her hunband and three
children, I. v.ry low and her chance, ot re
covery ar. meager. A number of little chil
dren who iu (Tared from expneur. ar. not ex
perted to live. Tbene, together with thote
a ho are wounded beyond recovery, are ex
pected to .well th. rat. at leant 100 rnor.
The devastation Is far-reaching?, a It wa.
learned to-night that between loO and 200
persons who resided in th. six-mlle-lnng Rap
between South Fork and Wood vale hav.
fallen victim, to th. fury of the dslntte.
Scarcely a building has been left .tending
along this entir. rout.. The lose In property
ha. been .imply terrible, and what make,
it more so I. th. uncertainty ot recovering
one dollar of insurance. A number of
building, it is true, was burned np, bat that
wa. in the bridge conflagration alter the
other element against which there wa. ne
insurance had almost completely ruined
the structure. Many workmen who bad
invested th. savings for a lifetime in real
estate can now scarcely designate the site, ol
their homes. Th. building, have gone; all
their household good. and wearing
apparel are lost. Scores who were
in comfortable circumstances on last
Memorial lay do not own the clothinr they
wear. Tbe safes in the banking establish
ments ef Johnstown remain intact, but
thousand, of dollar In money and larg.
quantities of valuabl. jewelry ware swept
down the river.
The police reported at 11 o'clock that a
number of well-dressed but suspicious look
ing stranger are wandering through the
ruins. They are lupposed to be professional
crook and a clone wnlch i being kept oa
them. I. ate to-night a man wa
taught trying to break into a private
residence iu Prospect, a hamlet on
the hillside. When discovered he ran to
ward the river, followed liy a Urge crowd
beut on summary vengeance. Tbe burglar
escaped in the darkness.
Mrs. liavid Lewis, of Sheridan station,
who was in trie water lor three boors on Fri
day belore being rescued, died to-night from
exhaustion.
The question of rebuilding Is now being
discussed. It I generally conceded that
property in th flat ba greatly fallen la
vslue. and if an effort at rebuilding i. mad.
the hill lots will get the preference.

ten policemen from Allegheny have been

Facts About Lumps.
Oil has been burned iu lamps for many
centime's, but no n al improvement in oil
lamps was made until about 1(11) years ago,
or about 17KI, when M. Argand.u Swiss,
who lived in. London, invented thu
cylindrical wick nnd burner, which hut
since borne his name. Soon after tlm
glass chimney was intrudiieed and light
ing oil was fully revolutionized.
These two improvements mult ipliecl t'i
light to be obtained from a lamp, and by
producing a perfect combustion of thu
oil obviated tho smoke ami bad odor,
previously inseparable from the use of oil
lamps. Other improvements followed,
aiic of the must notable being the placing
uf the reservoir of oil below thu burner
instead of above, making tho lump much,
more convenient. This was n discovery
(if Philip Girurelo, n Frcuchiuaii, uhotit
1807.
Another Frcnchmnn, Carcel, con
trived n mechanism to regulate the supply
jf oil, but his eoiitrivuiico was super
tudud by thu moderator lamp, introduced
b'ut sixty years ago. bonm further
aiodilications of lamps followed tho dis
