THE BOARD OF INQUIRY. 'THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TO TIE STATE COMMISSION. If Carried Out *1,180,000 Will hu Fa Id to t! Needy ut Ouee. '"tie Board of Inquiry has maue a com plete register of all the property losses in the valley. For the past week they have been giving the matter their undivided attention, and iu each district three resi dents .have been added, as local members of the board. In this manner very full and complete returns were obtained, and after giving each cose most careful atten tion it was classified and filed. The man ner in which the committee performed its work, is best explained by the following letter from the Chairman of the Board to Mr. Cummin, who has been here repre senting Governor Beaver's Commission. JOHNSTOWN, PA., July 4, 1889. lion. llugit Cummin, John.,toion, /'a. DKAR Slit: The Board of Inquiry con sists of a Ciiairmun, Tom L Johnson, of Cleveland, 0., and five members, being representative citizens of Johnstown and neighboring boroughs. The Board ap pointed and advertised eighteen meetings which so tar have been well attended. At eacli meeting a Local Committee of citi zens consisting of from three to five were selected by the Board Iroui a number of persons chosen by the meeting. This committ -e examined carefully the state ments of loss prepared by the clerks of the Board iu the presence of the person claiming to have lost frieuds, relatives or property, each statement being made in the name of the head of the family. The estimate of the loss of property made was modified and changed as in tlie judg ment of the Local Committee it became necessary. The Committee's estimate is the estimate of record. The present con dition of each applicant was considered and finally the best judgment of the Board was exercised iu recommending the family for assistance into the various classes on the basis of their present needs rather than upon the extent of their loss. Class 1 is the class to which the Com mittee assigued tiic most needy,.generally a woman who had lost lier husband or son, and was left with a large family to support with scarcely a 113- property saved. A few men whose physical con dition was such that they were unable to earn a living and bad a large family with no property were assigned 10 this class. Class 11. is the class to which the Com mittee assigned the next most needy fam ilies, following the same general rule as above, being people who had lost some of their family and had more property, and whose physical condition in the judgment of the Committee was somewhat better. Class 111, is the class to which the Com mittee assigned the next most needy to clast two, generally families who bad re covered something from the flood; but very little but to whom a small amount ot money was of great present need. Class IV, is the class to which the Com mittee assigned families generally small in number, and having some member of the family able to work, and either had no property*saved from the flood or very lit tle. In some cases the parties owned a lot which had no present value, but 011 which they could possibly borrow some money to help them to erect a building together with any assistance recicived and would put them in a shape to very, soon be self-supporting. Class V. is the class to which the Com mittee assigned the parties in the judg ment of the Committee requiring assis tance promptly, hut in smaller amounts, jennet ally in a case where a man was em ployed and had lost heavily, having a smaller family depending upon him than in the other classes, and to whom a small amount of money would result in great present good in providing the family with some of tite necessaries of life. Class VI, is tite class to witielt the Com mittee assigned all other cases no matter how severe their losses, bat in which the ('ommittec considered the present value of property such that the persons were not objects of immediate c airitv. This class contains a great many who should be considered and assisted after tuc tirst, live classes have been taken care of and provided for. In other word', this class it was considered could w lit, while all the others were cases of great pressing need. The foregoing are the rules established by the Board of Inquiry and which have been fairly well carried out by the local committees always losing with tiie assist ince of at least one member and some times tw ) or three members of the Board if Inquiry. Respectfully submitted TOM L. JOHNSON - . Chairman Hoard of Inquiry. ( lass one, to which the largest amounts were recommended, consists in nearly every instance of a widow, or widow and child, and in whose ease the husband and father, or other members who helped sup port the family were drowned. In these cases the Committee did not consider whether the family before the flood were worth S2OO or §2,000. If they lost all. and the bread-winners in addition, they were placed in the highest class and entitled to the greatest bounty. The other classes were determined also with the end iu view of benclittiim the most needy. The committee worked hard day and night and completed their work Saturday, and through their chairman will present the following recommendations to Gover nor Beaver's commission on Tuesday, their report having been sanctioned by the local finance committee : In class No. 1 they have placed 205 cases, to which they recommend the pay ment of SI,OOO each. In class 2 there are 237 cases, each to receive S6OO, Class 3 contains 372 cases, to each of which a payment of S4OO is recom mended. The payment of these three classes will require $400,000, and it is recommended that they be paid at once. This to be im mediately followed by paying 1,108 cases in clnss 4 S3OO each, and 1,090 cases In class 5, S2OO each, requiring an additional sum of SOOO,OOO. The recommendations of the committee provide for the immediate disbursement of *1,186,000 to 3,080 different families, or in average of *332 to every family. These 3,080 eases will include all those who arc in immediate want. Class (I will include the heaviest losers, but they are not in immediate want, and no recommendation is made now in their cases, but they will be considered further alone. A WIFE FROM THE FLOOD. A Kansas Man Applies for One —Hulbrrt House Inquired for. The following is a special from this city to the Pittsburgh Dispatch of yesterday : The number of letters received by the Bureau of Information have fallen off con siderably within the past week, hut an or casiual ludricrous one turns up. To-day a long letter was received from a man in Kansas asking the bureau to find a wife among the flood sufferers. The writer stated that he was a farmer, and owned two well-stocked farms iu the vicinity of Parsons. He is 35 years of age and wanted a good looking young woman be tween the age of 20 and 30 years. She must be educated and know something about house-keeping. The olllcers of the department have had many inquiries for relics, but this is the first time, they say, that anybody has asked for a living one. The man preferred a woman who had been rescued from the flood, and said he would marry her withiu three months. Another letter was received this week from a mining camp in Colorado, asking for information in regard to Hulbert House. The writer states that he had read the name among the lost in the Dis patch, and having a brother beaaing the same name, he wrote to inquire if it was he. After diligent inquiry it was ascer tained by the oliieers of the bureau that there had been no one of the name here, and that the " Hulbert House," the big hotel which had been swept away by the flood, was what had misled the inquirer. A letter was received on Monday from a woman in Hanover, Germany, asking for information in regard to lier husband, who hud left lier but a few mouths before the flood. The letter was written iu Ger man, and one of the clerks had to reply in the same language. It was found that the woman's husband was alive, but bad had a very narrow escape iu getting out of his house. THE FISHING Cl.l'lt RESPONSIBLE. Thai I* the Finding ol* the Coroner'* Inquest at its Last Sitting on Satur (lay. 'I lie Coroner's Jury held their final sit ting at the office of Coroner Evans on Napoleon street on Saturday night. Only one witness, Mr. James M. Shumaker was examined. Mr. Shumaker testified that he was at South Fork about nine years ago, when the dam was being rebuilt, and saw quan tities of hay and straw put in the fill up. lie was not an expert on dam building, he said, and did not know whether the dam was properly constructed or not. After consulting a short time the jury brought in the following verdict : " We, the undersigned, the jury em panelled to investigate the cause of the death of Ellen 1 lite on May 81, after hear ing the testimony, find that Ellen Rite came to her dealli by drowning ; that the drowning was caused by the breaking of the South Fork darn. We further find, front the testimony and what we saw on the ground, that there was not s ifficient waste weir, nor was the dam constructed sufficiently strong nor of the proper ma terial to withstand the overflow;and hence we find that the owners of said dam were culpable in not making it as secure as it should have been, especially in view of the fact that a population of many tliou- sands were in the valley below: and we hold that the ownsrs are responsible for the fearful loss of life and property result ing from the breaking of the darn. John i ho, Abraham Fcrner, 11. If Blair, John 11. Deviuc, John A. Wissen gcr, F. W. Coliiek." It will be seen by this that the members of tile Fishing Club arc held responsible lor the breaking of the dam, and it will now be in order for District Attorney Fen lon to have indictments drawn up and the members of the club held for trial. CooperMlaltt Comes In tor Its Share. In the wreck of matter and crush of towns one place that suffered more than is generally supposed is Coopcrsdale. Ly ing as it does on an elevated hank of twelve to fifteen feet above the river in an ordinary rise, it was thought by the Johns town people that it was fully protected, inasmuch as the water from the reservoir would he so spread out before reaching it thai little or no damage could he done. But a visit to the place dissipated this hopeful view. The buildings on the south West of the long street are all more or less injured, and siahlcs. fences, yards and carditis nil destroye I. In the lower part of town eleven dwellings with their con teats were carried awn and the large planing mill and i.e. factory belonging to George W. Htut/.iiiau were destroyed, as was also the Johnstown Steel and iron Casting Company, on the opposite side of the river. Those sustaining the heaviest loss by the destruction of buildings were Caleb Butler, N. B. Griffith, George Conner, G. W. Blutzmun, Mrs. Hannah Hess, Peter Felix, John McCurdy, David Brantlinger. The two stores owned by Jacob Hoover and Kunkle Brothers A Sheridan suffered severely. The loss on goods damaged and destroyed is put at $3,000 each. In cluding damage to property and house hold goods the former's loss is estimated at $3,000 and the lattcr's at $4,000. Among other losses and inconveniences is the destruction of gardens, yards and fences on the northeast side of Main street, and the complete demolition of the bridge across to Bheridan station. Within the past few years three bridges have been thus swept away, one being for wagons, and the other two wire suspen sion ones for people on foot. LIST OK JI'BOKS.

THE FEARFVJ, BTORT OF TWO CORN* IS II MINERS. 4 Lucky Find—How the Young Mat Cheered Hli Older Companion Daring Their Hours of Misery—Trying to Keep Warm While Lying on the Wet Stones. Some weeks ago we published, says the London Daily News, what may bo called the outer world story of the entombment of the Cornish miners in the Drake Walls mine. This is now supplemented by the pathetic narrative of William Bunt of how it fared with him and his comrade, John Rule, during the four days, when night and day were to them ns one, in their dis mal prison 2110 feet down below the sur face of the earth. It was in the morning that the two men heard an ominous creaking noise, followed by a.tremendous roar of the rushing mass of loose sand and rock which told them of their awful peril. Only u moment before two of their mates, who as wo know es caped- miraculously,had left them to make their way down the pass to the middle level some fifty feet distant. It was now the turn of the other two to follow, flying for their lives; but too late. Thousands of tons of .the slipped sand and rock al ready barred the way, and cut them off from all access to the cheerful duylight and the sight of their fellow men. "I offered prayer to God,"says Bant at this point, and said: "'Not my will, but Thitio be done." Their next act was to grope their way hack to the spot whence t hey had started. What fate had befallen their two comrades they know not; but feeling about in the darkness they found these men's jackets, besides the jacket of Rule, Bunt's having been buried in the sand and lost. This find was indeed a piece ofjgood fortune, for in the pocket of each of "the garments was a pasty and u "crib," apparently a small loaf, which guaranteed them, at least for a while, against starvation. Some hope they had of finding a store of.candles, but, to their grief, the rushing sand had carried them away, together with a keg of water, which, as the writer of the narrative pathetically observes, "would have done us some good if we had had it." Then they lay down on their bed oi sand and stones damp witli the constant dripping from tho roof, and hour nftei hour listened for some sound to break the dreadful silence. At last Bunt whose companion was deaf, exclaimed, "Jack, 1 hear them sounding from the forty fathom," and Rule answered. "Give them a peal." Then it was that the oue morsel of candle which they had became precious, for it was needful to make their way to some spot in tho direction of the knocking and there return the signal. Thus t hey were enabled to communicate from time to time. Then their little stock of matches gavo out, and ere long "u dark cloud" came over them, for they could not hear the trammers working for a while. So the time passed, the im prisoned men alternately huddling to gether for warmth and jumping about and beating their hands. In the deep gloom and solitude of the Cornish mine it was Bant, the young man of 21, who first strove to keep up the spirits of his deaf companion fifteen years older than himself. On one occasion lie "started .to sing," when Jack said, "Billy, if you have a heart to sing I have a heart to laugh." But in a short space their forced gayety was turned to melan choly. "My mate would say, 'I am thinking of the old people athome. Wh.u a sad way they must be in. This will kili the old man. He was bad before, and mother is bad by this time, I expect,' In being the only support the old people hud." Now it was the turn of John ltulo, who, as his companion observes, was ol' stronger nerve, to speak a word of com fort in a graver way, and to remind his comrade of how they hud always been good friends," but never so much us then. Still it was the young man who had to do all the sounding, though, he, to, had begun to feel deaf on one side through the dripping of water into the car from the roof. His comrade, byway of keeping up his spirits, observed that it was "better to be deaf in one ear than two," which, says Bunt, in his simple way, "of course, was right, though if both were deaf it would be u poor lookout for us. "My mate," continues the narrative, "would very often ask rae if I heard them nicking awuy now. I would very quickly reply, 'Yes, Ihoar them going at it smart. Then we would bo still for about live minutes, when wo would want a change of position. I would get one of my legs under, und he would put one of his on mine, and so on; we would draw our breath into each other's bosom; I would put my hand under his coat, and he would put his undermine, ana at the same time would say, 'Keep as closo as we can to one another, and it will keep us warm.' We would lie like that until tired, and that would not bo long. Then I would put my arm round his neck, and he would soon find it wanting, when I would have to get out of bed to sound." They fan cied they couid tell night from duy by the timo when they felt sleepy. On one occasion Bant said to his com rade: "I think it's Thursday; do you think it is?" On what seemed to be tile day after this they could hear the rescu ers blasting the rock with powder. They hud husbanded their food in vain, for tic pasties had gone bad, and were loath some to the smell. The sounds, too, seemed further off; and, their stamina failing, they felt terribly eold, and wet driven to tear the sleeves from their coats and put them round thair feet. "1 felt," says llant, "hungry and thirsty, thinking at the same time a pound oi candles would do good if I hud them; but not having them I had to do without. After t'msc thoughts passed through my mind I thought 1 heard some one talking. I remarked it to my mate, who said, -( '..-i out, man, you don't hear any one.' I lis tened and heard them again. I. without hesitating went over to the rise, called out, and quickly received an answer, which put a new life in me." ' It was at half-past 9 that a lighted lan tern was let down eighty feet through the hole above to cheer them with its welcome ray, together wi li a bottle con taining pearl barley, which they ate, usiug the empty bottle to catch the fail ing water drops. Twenty minutes later stout-heart eil Thomas Chapman de scended to the rescue, and, by the aid of a ropfc. drew the weak and weary cap tives out of their urcury solitude to feel onco more upon their l'uces the pure TesU air of heaven.
