THE J3HSST6WS H3RF W'UAt A IfhSALD KcPOSTEIt Saw AND Heard i. tub ITsfoetvsate Citt. No imagination is alilc ts con ccivt: or tlic ilevatation of John 3 town, auJ ouce t!ie wreck is viewed no jeti will be ablo to describe the awinl ruin caused by tlic waters. If any subject ever beggared descrip tion it ii the wreck of Johnstown. Standing on any of the hilltops to the South, and looting tip the nar row valley of the Concraaugh, a barren waste greets the eye, where once Btood a busv, prosperous city Where the great wire mills Mood . . the day before, turning out ten thousand yards of wire, each day of the week, nothing is left to mask the spot. The linos of the many boroughs that go to make tip Johnstown have never been diawn, excepting on paper, and it is impossible to tell where one ended a.id the other began. As we stood on the hilltop above the steel works looking towards Concmaugh, not the sign of a house was to lc seen in the vallev, where 1.1 i r .1 .1 , lollVvlK ' nuurs uciuiv mice uiuua- J - aild liatl Stood. Clnly a few COtta- gos that dotted the hillsides above the river were left. Below our feet stood a Catholic Church, nothing left but the bare walls, while its muddy floors were lined with the victims ofthe waters, waiting to be shrouded. The clock in the tower was marking the minutes, and peal ed forth nine mournful Ftrokes as a newly discovered body was carried into the windowlcss house of God, to lay there until identified by friends and prepared for burial. Looking west, not even the foun dation walls of the many handsome structures that had been erected be tween t. John's Church and the Cor.iianv Store, remained. The surface looked as if it had lieen freshly harrowed and sown with grain. Towards the southwest, Main street is packed to the second story windows with debris of every de scription. Freight cars are piled np in the principal streets, a quarter of a mile from the track on which they had been standing. Not a single house in the business and better class of dwelling portion ofthe city escaped injury, aud 09 out of every 100 of them will have to be rebuilt from the foundations. The walls of the building? occupied by the Com pany Store and the General Offices are still standing. Just ueioi nerc . i i stood the beautiful Library Ullild H'S, aim inc cicgam residence oi yrus Elder, Esq., is a pile of drift- rwood and wreckage thirty feet high, while not a brick remains of the two handsome structures. Between this pile of debris and tlic Club House a rapid river was running all day Sunday, across which three or four scows, roughly constructed. were . transferring messages and bodies from the hospitals on both sides of tiie river. The actual chan ticl of the Conematigh is crossed by a temporary rope ferry, the boat used lieing an ordinary skiff that will hold but four or five passen irers. It requires about two hours to get from the Club House to the l R. Station, a distance of about three squares. The 1'. K. Station contains thir ty-three dead bodies, while as many more are on the floors of two freight cars. This number is lie- ing added to every few minutes as bodies arc removed from the great pile of wreckage in front of the P. IL bridge. The railroad track from the station to the bridgo is entirely washed away, aud the main channel of the river is between tlic station house and the bridge. Over this rapid, angry stream a temporary bridge has locn i-treteh-ed, tnad-i of plaited rope and lath. Over this frail structure men were carrying clothing and provisions all day long for the thousands of suf fering and starving. At the station I mat Ferg Parker, covered with mud from heaJ to foot After expressing every de light at seeing him alive, I inquired about his escape. " I was ut tlic Club House, trying to carry my luggage from the " an nex," where I roomed, to the main building, when I heard tha awful roar of the approaching water. I took one of the negroes about the house with rae, and got on the roof, j Well, I thought my time had surely come, and said so to Daniel, the negro. All right Mister Parker, I'll stick to you, Daniel replied. I saw thousands of people floating by but was pow erless to help them. After the end was knocked off the Club House and the waters had subsided a little I got out on the wreckage and as sisted in removing a number of bodies and persons who were only slightly injured. Among these was Mrs. John Dibert. Later in the evening all of the people in our house got across the street into the McMillan building and stayed there all niirht watching the fire burning iclow, fearing every minute that the fire would reach the town. Mr. Parker was busily engaged in swearing in special officers to guard the town. Mr. Will Endslcy made his escape by getting on top the Louther building, on the corner of Main and Cliiton streets. Here lfi and several voung men rescued the Koscnsteel family as they came floating by on what was left of their handsome home. The whole corps of Western n ion Telegraph operators was lost on r riday night. Among them were Mrs. Ogle, the manager, who for twenty-five years has acted as the receiver of Asso ciated Press reports at this place and her daughter Minnie, also well known. Also Misses Gorman and Watkins and three messenger boys who were unable to cscajm from the building. Mrs. Ogle, who died at her post, will go down in history as a hero ine of the highest order. Xotwith standing the repeated notifications which she received to get out of reach of the approaching danger she stood by the instrument witl unflinching loyalty and undaunted fearlessness sending words of warn ing to those in danger in the valley below. When cverv station in the path of the coming torrent had been warned, she wired her companion at South Fork : This is my last mes sage," and as such it shall always be remembered as her last word on earth, for at that very momeut the torrent engulfed her and bore her from her post on earth to her post of honor in the great beyond Several eve-witnesses related to the writer how from the upper win dows of the Company Store they had seen the unfortunate victims in the telegraph office float out of the house to be swept away. .Mrs. Hurst, the Librarian, was seen by the same persons, floating out of her house with her little grand-daughter and nephew. They were still alive when last seen, but were rushing towards the slaughter pile at the rail road bridge with the resistless current. Russel Uhl was seen sitting b the D. fc 0. track, clad only in shirt and pants, waiting an opportunity to go to Somerset. lie was a pic ture of utter misery. The bodies of John Dibert, th banker and his daughter Mrs. Weav er were lying on the muddy floor ofthe German Lutheran church. All of the Home family escaped. after a fearful struggle. Griffin Crousc, formerly of Lar- ansville, managed to get his. wife and ttaby out of the flood. The Democratic Primarv was to be held Saturday. Frank J. O'Con nor, Esq., was a candidate for Dis trict Attorney. When I saw him he was thinking of anything but publics. O'Connor saw the wall of water coining and run for his life. lie called to two young lady acquaintances to run for their lives. They laughed at his sJarm. lie saw them both drowned. Jms Davis, the photographer, said that hii wife aud children were lost. Henry Stutzman, of Jenncrtown, was among those who escaped with his family. Frank Bcuford, of the Hu'.bert House, was seen anxiously looking for the bodies of his mother and two sisters. Dr. Rauch had quite a perilous and fortunate escape with his wife and family, after floating around on a roof for several hours. A special train carrying Pittsburg militia and provisions went through Somerset about 10 p. m. Sunday nirht. The New York T7ic sent a special over the B. & O Monday afternoon, carrying special corres pondents. A number of Johnstown sufferers have arrived in Somerset and arc being taken care of.
