TiTi svu.t.r, June As In the case of

Over the divide, other dams have spread
devastation even worse, but with no loss of

greater in extent than the South Fork dam.
It Is shaped like the bottom of a Hatiroti. At
the breast the real dam is scarcely over Ion
feet wide and is still standing. This part,
w as built on a wet dam, but at the sides it
was after the styleol'the South Fork pond.
It was not Intended to overflow. It was

that the netting was stretched This caught
the drift and forced the water back until It
overflowed the dry ends and Ibey melted

ble calamity which has befallen this unfor

the frightful death, the second was the
heartrending ideutiHcution, ami the third
was the intensely solemn interments. Tho
last awful act of 'this terribly realistic trag
edy was enacted at the graves to-day, with a
iia'thos that seared the mind of man ut thu
recital.
The people of the city are bowed down
with the terrible grief, to the lowliest posi
tion of humble contrition. There is an ex
pression of the greutest grief upon tho face
of every passerby. Kveryone exhibits the
same emotions. The faces of the very
school children, as well as those of their
elders, hour the same unmistukable imprint
of sorrow.
Tho buildings are draped In the heavy
black folds of mourning. Tho bouses bear
the same pitiful ospect and the moving
breezes from the valley set the graceful
draperies In a rythmic motion that is con
ducive to tears in its very elf . Oil City is
ss a city of the dead. The calamity and its
dread results are upon everylwdy's tongue.
Naught else is thought Or spoken of. Poli
tics, business and serial matters are relegat
ed to other times and the only words hrard
are those of sympathy with the dead. The
two cemeteries lay picturesquely upon the
side of a lowering hill and separated by a
rude wood fence. Thirty interments took
place to-day between the hours of 0 anil
o'clock, livery bour and half hour marked
the approach of some weeping funeral pro
cession. Home walked over the rough, stony
ground and other rode In carriages. 8om

tears, and their hands spamodically clasped.
Others came In with their eyes bent stoical
ly before them aud their dry, parched bps
motionless. The scene was indescribably
pathetic. Words will never tell the tale.
The gravu diggers looked worn and weak.
A special ataff of 13 men were started to
work Monday morning in the Grove Hill
Cemetery and a speolsl staff of eight work
a.i in thm tnthnlle hnriul arounds. The men
worked steadily from Monday morning at 8
o'clock until to-day at noon, when the last
ominous recaptable was nnisned. They ob
tained neither rest or repose and their
condition was most sorry tossy the least.

three. Spice was left fur other members of
the Mills family who arc expected to no

Individual scenes at the twin cemeteries
were of such numerous occurrence that It
would require volume to tell of them. A
number of Indies and young girls fainted,

After ascertaining the condition and
vigilanc.o of the lines, their ability to
rosist an nsiault.be informod mo that
be had received unofficial information
that Oon. Grant had repulsed Oon.
Bragg' army at Chatatiooga, and Gen.
Sherman, with hi command, wa en
rout for Knoxvillo; that if General
Longstreot wa not already informod
of the result ho would soon bo, and
would surely attack Knoxville before
Gen. Sherman could arrive. The con
versation turned upon' tho probable
point of attack, and Oon. Uurnsido
strongly asserted it would be at the
rivor, either north or south of tho city;
that Fort Sanders boing the most
available for Oen. Longstreet to con-
centroto his lorces upon, It most line-
lv would be the point of attack, and
the fort must be reinforced, and that
bo had some doubts of tho proprioty
of trusting o important a command
to o young an officer as Lieut, Benja
min. I thon venturod the finery whether
he had any regular officer in hi army,
with exporienco in the field in com
mand of artillery, to relieve Lieut.
Benjamin. It being decided that Maj.
Roeiner could not be relieved from the
fort on Colloge Hill, immediately east
ol Fort Sanders, I wa then instructed
to report the military situation to Oen.
Julius White, of the Second Division,
Twenty third Corp. The interview
wa then adjournod to 2 p. m., with
the request that Gen, White bo present.
At 2 p.m. Gen. White wa unable to
bo present and Oen. Uurnsido then ini
formed me he baa reiniorcea rori
Sander with one section each from
M11J. Roemer'a and Berkley' butteries,
leoving my friend, Liuut. Bcrjamin, in
command. He tbeu procoeded to give
me full instruction for commander of
the infantry force in caie of an at
tack; that Capt, Lee of tho U. 3. Army,
should command the reserve inlantry,
which should support the tort on the
east; that Oen. Ferrero would support
it ou the west. If the fort wa cap
tured, or line broken, then we must
with all the available force of the
Twonty third corps reUke it or hold
Oen. Lonatreot't force at Run No.2, ou
the touth of the city, immediately in
the rear of the fort. In cao th j could
not be done and it became necessary
to vacate the city, full instruction
were given for the retreat, but- in no
case to turrender tho force.
When Oen. Sherman camo up be
would be reinforced by the force at
Klnatoa, Tenn., and would attack
