The writer left Somerset at 1 1 o'clock
SaturUy a. m. in a buggy with Mr. Paul
Scbell, and arrived within sight of the
doomed town at 3 o'clock p. ui thinking
to drive through Kernville over to the
Hulbert House; but alas! on reach: ug
Grubtow n, one and one-half miles above
Johnstown on the Honycreek, saw that
most of the houses in the little village
were either swept away or lying wrecked
in the street On inquiry fount! ingress
to Kernville entirely impossible. Hitch
ing his horse to a fence he wendelhis
way to the It fc O. railroad bridge, the
only means of reaching Johnstown or
the place w here it stood, and then fol
lowed the most arduous task of his life
ia climbing over wrecked buildings, J
large tawlogs piled one upon another,
until arriving opposite the cemetery, ,
and thence finding further progress in
that direction impotib!e, turned np tne j
hill to get on the Bedford pike. Arriving
at this point a glimpse of the nnparal
leled disaster was caugut which no pen
could describe. House, furniture, cloth
ing, beds, dead horses were strewn all
along the lotg street beloT.
Tuching Lis way through crowds of
people who had lost houses, furniture,
husbamhs, w ives and children, he turned
from the head of Bedford street into
Adams, the last street running along the
steep declivities of Green hill, and finally
landed at the Fourth Ward School
House, the temporary morgue; around,
in and about which were many hun-
! dreds of men and women, either bewail
ing the fate of recognized friends, or ar.x

his hand, not one could restrain the fast
flowing teere. God paie him from
another such try ing ordeal !
The first to (five details was Mr. Frank
Benford.proprietororthe Hulbert Il ia-,
who, ,fi-r a&iuriug the writer that Lis
eon, Will, who was reported to be lost,
wag safe, said, " my mother and sisters,
with forty guesta and servants, are all
(tone myself and two brothers, Lou and
Wall, only escaped." John D. Roberta,
cashier of the banking firm of Dibert 4
Co., said Mr. John Dibert and one
daughter, if not more of hia family, "are

droaned, also Judga Potts and family;
Mr. McCor.f c.by and family.and all fami

Kobba. Creeds. Shialmans, ex-Sheriff
Ryan, and neatly all families along

The next party s-en was Mrs. Ir.

frolu the effects of an injary received in

however, as Concraan-h, Morrellville

In walking over ruined houses ami de
bris from Fourth Ward School House
dow n to Clinton strei t nothing could be
seen along upper part of locust street,
Bedford (drift or Clinton street to indi
vate locations of the houses that had
been carried away. . Clinton street is a
Ixarren warfe, and scarcely a stone or
brick marks the place where the Hul
bert House s'chmI, as it demolition was
so complete. 0! the 5.1 guests and ser
vant, ) wire carred away. The
wrecks of Luther's buildings, the Mer
chant's Hotel, and the brick houses ou
the other tide of Main street, down to
Franklin, stand as the sad memorials of
the disaster ; while ail on down to Wal
nut i a :reat waste excepting the banks,
Alma Hall and Dr. Lowrnan's house.
Kroiu there do a n the fine residences of
Mr. John I'li-uert, v. n. nose, r-sq., .Mr.
G. T. twank. of the Ti iimur, Pr. lee, Mr.
Jacob Friend, Col. Farazer, are all gone.
Mr. Frank Hav's beautiful home stands
with a partial destruction of one wall.
The submerged homes by back water
from Walnut street down to Stonycreek,
judging from the steps seen above the
water, wiil remain. From Ciintoa clear
down to Walnut street the only build
in j;" lift on Washington street are the B.
O. station and the Company's store.
The amount of property losses, includ
ing wire mills will run np into many
millions. To what extent the large
works of the Cambria Iron Company are
injured cannot le cor jectured as they
sre gt Dn.ler water.
In addition to losses of life mentioned
repoits said that Jacob Swank's. Mr.
benhart's, Mr. Luikhart's, Dr. Stoutz
n.an's familiis, T. J. Swank's wife and
sisters, Dr. I.ec and family, Dr. L. T.
Bean and family, Mrs. Ole and daugh
ter, Mr. Hurst, Esn. Brady, John Il
Fisher, q., and family, Mr. P. T. Fish
er anj family, and a long, long lht of
0iers are misting. The names of those
10 perihid in Kernville could not be
le8rct.d.
It should be said that among other re
ported loss's of Somerset county people
ti e two Shaffers, but think Russell
Chi and Ferg Paiktr are safe.
Probably the most touching scene wit
nessed, was the s'ow and measured tread
of men cam ing the dead from w recks of
houses to the morgne at the Fourth waid
school house. In a walk of twenty min
utes, net less than twenty-five corjf
were nut Men and women in fall dress,
but dripping with watT and rnud were
being !orn along for recognition and
interment
lv,wn at the Pennsylvania railroad
stone bridge was a sisl.t that appalled
eicry beholder. Jt was estimated that
from one to three hundred bodies, amid
debris, had lodged against it, and were
hwing slowly consumed by a fire caused
by etores. There was no poesible way of
recovering them.
Among other questions on the lips of
everybody, but which cannot be answer
ed w ith any degree of clear approxima
tion, is, bow many lives were lost? The
writer can only say that one party
at Johnstown put it as high as ten thous
and, Mr. John D. Roberts said it would
probably reach five thousand, and Mr.
John Fulton, sitperintenJant of the Cam
bria Iron works, thought and hoped it
would not exceed two thousand. The
writer' opinion from what he saw and
heard that it would run from three to
four thousand.
WASHED Vt ST THE FLOOD.
A little before 8 o'clock Saturday even
ing there floated into the Herald two
weary, worn and foot-sore victims of the
flood. They were printers, who had been
employed on the Johnstown Tribune, and
were at their cases when the flood swept
down on the town. Editor Swank and
his full force of men, eighteen in number,
were all busily engaged getting out the
paper for the evening. Their attention
was attracted by the roaring of the wa
ters, and one of the men went to the win
dow to look out, and reported that the
reserroir had broken.
We then," says one of the boys, " ran
down stairs, without a thought of danger,
anxious to see the waters rise. Scarcely
had we reached the door when, on look
ing np the street wtsaw firsts roof, then
a house, rushing down the street We all
ran back to the second story of the build
ing, and went to the front windows,
where we could get a view up and down
the street The water, after tlie first wild
ntsh, rose rapidly at the rate of about a
foot a minute, for fifteen or twenty min
utes. It came op the stairs about at the
rate a man would walk up them ; as the
water was forced up the Main street a
current was formed in the alley above
Benshootfs book store; that in its mad
rush knocked in tlie w hole front end of
the Tribune oilice ; there was a startled
cry, and each man' grasped his neighbor,
expecting the next moment to be his lust ;
but the rear part of the oilice stood firm,
and in a few minutes a ladder was pro
cured and thrown across to the second
story of the Moses buildingand the whole
force crossed over in safety. After some
time Epent here we all got back to the
Mof of the Tribune building, and from
here we crossed over into the third floor
of the Moses building, w here we spent
the night
There were 32 or 33 people saved in
Moses' building. It was an awful night
Every little w hile we would hear the
crash of a falling wail as some brick
building collapsed. In the intense dark
ness we could not tell if it was ten feet
or a hundred yards away. Kwcry crash
was a reminder that the walls of the
building in which we had taken refuge
were liable to give way, and drop us into
the now sullen fl.J. As each succeed
ing w all fell most of ns rushed to a com
mon centre, as chickens gather around a
mother hen when danger threatens. The
editor, Mr. G. T. Swank, sat in the rear
of tlie room pulling away at his cigar, as
complacently as in his ow n office. Once,
when he walked to a window, he point
ed to a building that was being tossed to
and fro further down the street, and said :
"There goes my house," and resumed
his chair a id cigar. One man, a mail
carrier, in his bare feet and with his
clothes all bedraggled, played the turtof
A SECOSU NERO.
Seating himself at the piano he drum
med the " Irish Washerwoman." From
an adjoining building came the cry,
" Whose Toice is that ?" " Moses' !" went
back the reply. " Where was Moses
when the light went out?" rang back
across the waters.
One of the strangest sights was two
children that were seen floating around
on a roof. Time and time again, as some
vast piece of wreckage floated near them,
it was thoughi that their frail craft must
be crushed, but each time it seemed as if
some unseen band bad been stretched
out to save them, and their place of ref
uge was swept aside; finally they float
ed out of our sight, and we do not know
whether they were saved or not
When morning c line we descended to
the top of the piles of debris that filled
the street ; the first thing our feet touch
ed w as a B. & 0. freight car ; people were
busy getting the dead from cellars and
other deep;pools w here they had floated;
the scene was one of sickening horror,
hands and feet could be seen sticking out
of the debris and water; we were glad to
get away from the place and started at
once for Somerset
After a iuper and a good night's rest
they were given sits on the D.ui.r Her
ald and sro now sticking type as though
they were used to being drowned out of
a job.
Two telegrams were received from Rev.
Appleton Iiash, one by his wife announcing
Ihe safely of his father and tamily and I lit
other telling John II. I'lil that his son Kua
tel was safe, and that 5t0 would hardly be
the limit of tlia lives lust
SWIFT VENCEASCI.
Rumors apparently well founded reach
here that thieves are rampant at Johns
town, end that in many cases the dead
are mutilated in order to dexpoil them of
their jewelry. It is said that one man
caught in the act of cutting a finger from
the body of a dead woman, to secure a
ring, was promptly shot by an infuriated
citizen and hia body kicked into the
river.
John II. Huston vliue daughter went
down in the wreck of the Hulbert House
received word during the mom in that her
body had been recovered. Mr. Hualon has
gone to Johnstown and wiil bring the body
to Somerset fur burial.
Charles Ogle, son of Mrs. II. M. Ogle,
went to his home about nine o'clock in
the morning and nrged his mother and
only aister, Minnie, to leave the house, as
the first floor was covered with two feet
of water at that time. He was standing
at the corner of Main and Clinton streets
when he saw the great volume of water
sweeping down on him and he ran np
Main street to the steep hill above. He
was caught by the water and immersed
to the neck before he reached a place of
tafety.

MARTIAL LAW.
Latest advices from Johnstown are to
the effect that martial law has been de
clared and that General D. H. Hastings
has taken command. Troops have been
ordered to the scene and were expected
last night ; in the meantime Gen. Hast
ings, agisted by Mr. Ferg G. Parker, is
boy swearing in extra police and plac
ing them on guard. Several car loads of
nniformed troop passed through this
place from Pittsburgh at 10 o'clock.
The Herald has gratified its many friemla
and set a very, rapid pu lit omteniporaries
to imitate during the paH week. In its
desire that the good op!e of the county
should get all the news in their favorite
par it commenced in the beginning of
the week to publish a daily, (riving full de
tails of the important rubbery, mnnlerand
other cases on trial in our county courts.
The amount of original matter published
has simpty astounded oar contemporaries.
On the receipt of tlie nnst rumor ol
