I/The Democrat. | I FRIDAY. JULY 5. 188!). i I flow tli* People VV •)•. Fml ttinl ClotUeil si the CommUsiirleH. | The call for help which went up from | the survivors of the great disaster ot May : 31, 1889, iu Johustown and vicinity was ! responded to by the people of the whole country in such a manner, as, for chris- I .tian charily and liberality, to stand un paralleled In the history of the world. Tin - large contributions of food, clothing and household supplies sent here are be iug faithfully and impartially distributed among the needy. This distribution is now so thoroughly systematized that to the deserving poor tnese supplies are easy of access and to the impostor public expos ure is reasonably sure. The manner of distribution may prove interesting to many contributors who are unable by reason of , distance to come and see for themselves. * The city and adjoining towns are divid ed into proper Commissary districts, which the distribution is made. For ex ample just opposite the Pennsylvania Railroad passenger depot, is Commissury No. 3, known also as Prospect ilill Depot. Tills Commissary is in charge of Lieut. W. T. Richardson, of Mahanov City, Pa., as sisted by Commissary Seargcunt D. E. Briadle, of Carlisle and R. 8, Magee, . Quarter .Master Seargeant, of Wiglitsville, and an efficient corps of assistants. The contributions arc sorted out at tlie railroad stations and a portion sent here for distribution. The Commissary named is so divided that there is separate apartment for gro ceries. meat, bread, flour and other pro visions, as well as for boots and slious, gents clothing, ladies wear and house hold goods. Daily distribution being ' made from each department. In the trro- , eery and provision department of Lieut. Rich.rdson's commissary, tickets are given to sucli persons as are entitled to relief, these tickets have the name, res idence and number of persons in the fam ily, and the days of the month beginning ■with the 12th and ending with the iiOth of June. The holder of the ticket is entitled to receive provisions daily for the num ber of persons named ypon presentation of the ticket. When the provisions are supplied the date is punched out and nothing more can be gotten on the date designated. In the clothing department, a competent man is in charge of the passage way who ascertains the present and former resi dence of the applicant and suelt facts as are necessary to detesmine whether or not the relief should be exteuded. If lite ap plicant is entitled to assistance he or she is given a ticket upon wnieh is written a list of articles wanted, which the holder takes from department to department, until all the articles are obtained, when the ticket is lifted. In case all the articles can not be obtained, the bolder retains tiie ticket, the articles supplied having been stricken off. The household goods are distributed by receiving the applications for articles needed, and, if after proper examination the applicant appears to be entitled to re lief. the goods are delivered at such plac Aas are designated, and a receipt taken therefor. A complete list is k-p' of all -neb per sons as hold tickets, together with the number of person- comprising the family auil the number of peisons housed who were flooded out as also of all persons re ceiving household supplies. When Lieut. Col. Spangler, now As sistant Commander General of Pennsyl vania, took charge of thesupnlies on June 2d nil was confusion and excitement, and it was impossible to systematize the dis tribution at once, bill a few days brought order out of chaos and when depot No. !{ was placed in charge of Lieut. Rich ardson, who is nil experienced grocer, it was fortunately placed in the hands of an energetic man possessing rare executive ability in this direction, and through whose efforts this commissary lias gained .the respect and admiration of the whole ■community. The Fir.. Limit Ordinance. This outrageous ordinance should be wiped out at once. It lias been, and as long as it remains as one of our borough laws, will be against lite prosperity of Johnstown. It discriminates unfavorably against our own people. It will prevent improvements, and drive those with little means from ourcitv. Poor people are not able 'o erect brick buildings, but many of them can put up comfortable and hand some wooden structures. The enforce ment of the "fire limit ordinaee" will only benefit the grasping land sharks from abroad. Caitih/m Iron Company. The old chestnut —one that has played its part in the affairs of nieti for ages, that "corporations have ni souls," is com pelled by current events to take a back sent. Not only have the hank* of Phila delphia, in proffering the loan of a mil lion dollars for the relief of the flood swept districts of the State, given it a black eye. but the noble stand takeu by the authorities of Cniubria Iron Company in encouraging its thousands of employees with the promise of a speedy resumption, and in affording immediate relhf to the suffering, throws the old threadbare say ing square on its buck. Ls officers here with Mr. James MeMilleu, Cyrus Elder, Esq., John Fulton, Esq., ami others, and Mr. Powell Stackbouse of Philadelphia, have done very much to re-assure our people and inspire confidence; and the assurance that the Wire Mills will be re built at the earliest possible moment lias bad a wonderful effect in bouyiug up the spirits of our hundreds of artisans. Jtenl It state. lint little real estate has yet been on the market, owners being undecided as to what to do. The flood has undoubtedly caused a boom in real estate at Moxliam. and it. is said that very few lots are for sale there any more. Our liiterehtM. Nearly every department of the Cam bria Iron Company is again running full time, atid the Johnson Works are also in full blast. The department of the John son Works which was recently removed from Wood vale, is also in full blast, and our people are nearly all back at their regular employment. And yet it is only five weeks to-day since the great flood. The t'uhleiitlHed J>ead. The bodies of two girls were recovered yesterday, one behind the M. E. Church, and one back of ttic Morrell Institute. Neither was identified, but pieces of the clothing of each was preserved. Great care is taken in this respect by Under taker Henderson and any article that will I likely lead to Identification is preserved, and in each case a piece of clothing to gether with a careful description of the I body is recorded and numbered. Tlie IS 111 Kulit-f Money. The Finance Committee yesterday sent : out checks to the sufferers at South Fork, | Mineral Point, East Cotietnatigll, Frank -1 lin. Conemaugh borough, and Johnstown, I Fourth ward, for the payment of §lO to 1 each. To-day they expect to complete ' the work and all who are entitled to re lief will litul their checks in the post-otfice to-morrow. The checks are on the First National Hank and they will he cashed by that institution. A rigid examination was made of the lists, and quite a num ! her of persons who had registered were i decided not to he entitled to relief. Oth er eases are under consideration, and some of them may yet be allowed. Tlit? Comnii*?t>rio>. A large amount of suffering has been relieved by the prompt and efficient work of those in charge of the different Com. tnissaries, and General Hastings and his Quartermasters are highly complimented for the manner in which they performed their work. The Commissary at the sta tion under the charge of Lieut. W. F. Richardson, was probably the largest and it was well kept. F. J. Snyder, Esq., of Clearfield, Pa., deserves especial credi t for his faithful work here, as he gave over three weeks of his time for which he would take no compensation, and iu addition contributed freely to those .in need from his private purse. Capt. 11. 11. Kuhn has charge of all the Commis saries now, and everything is moving along nil right. Flood Incident*. They are simply multitudinous; many of them not only startling but marvel), ous. and. if not so well verified, would seem impossible. Columns upon col. iiiuns could be printed, and still the num bers would not be exhausted. Thrilling and hair-breadth escapes could bo gath ered up by the many thousands, as nil ■ ho were saved out. of the seething mass of matter that rolled down the Conemaugh to the stone bridge, and then carried up the Sionvcreek over 'into Kornvillo. were ,-ut while so unity real incidents could be added to those already in print, there is certainly no excuse for publishing so much that lias n > hum latum in f.mt. The silly s'uif sent <>ir from hero to city pu pen about hanging utnl shu 'ting of iluns* •.v:is the result of lively imaginations; and the "great avenger," so styled, existed, simply in tlie minds of certain reporters.

N one of iiis fellow work men knew where he was from, but it is be lieved that he was from Troy, New York lie had been working here for some time and said that lie had an uncle on the New York police force. Undertaker Hender son telegraphed to the Chief of Police in New York, and if nothing is heard from' Ids relatives he will be buried here to-day. Titos.

In the organization of the Fourth ward j school house morgue, next to the Itev. D. j J. lleale, D. ])., Chairman of the Com- | mittee on Morgues, too much credit can. I not be given to Mr. William Cover, of litis | city, and Mr. James Russell, undertaker, j of ljt iuldock. The carriers, the washers, j the undertakers, the police, the drivers j and the clerks did difficult and faithful j work, receiving, preparing for burial, de- I scribing and recording and sending on' 301 bodies. The Presbyterian church morgue at- I tended to about 100 bodies. I)r. Jessop, i of Kittanuiug, was in charge most <>f the j time. The morgue at Keruville, South and ■ Napoleon streets, was conducted by A. 1,. Davis and Dr. Wagoner. There were passed through this morgue 153 bodies. ik'sides these there have been large morgues at Cambria City and Morrell ville, aggregating several hundred bodies. The Altllville morgue alone is now open, and Air. John Henderson is in charge of it. About 400 bodies have been received here. The labors of those in charge of these dead houses have been most difficult and delicate. Ail proper efforts have been made to identify the dead. To this end most bodies are embalmed and kept for public view tor several days. So correct were the entries of the unrecognized thai Dr. J. C. Duncan, from the description given in one of the morgues two weeks after the death of his wife went to the grave where a female answering to the description of his wife was interred and upon uncovering the grave he recognized the deceased as his wife. It would not be surprising if in the midst of the greut excitement some mistakes bad been made, but in general the work has been well done. All valuables found on the bodies were turned over to the committee on valuables. PENNSYLVANIA RAILBOAD- I Of titmice and Fare. Miles.
