In or der to understand the nature of this calamity it is ne.vssary todesenb. the i respective l.M-ations of the rest rvolr and Johntowu. The reservoir lies alMint two and a half miles northeast of Johntown and is the site of the old reservoir winch wiib one of the feeders of tbe Pennsylvania Camil. This sheet of water was formerly known as C oih -- maiigh lake. It is from 2lK) to MORE piflAN alNive th» level of Johntown i mountains. It is about ,. mile, SEVEN HUNDRED and from one mile to n mil. i quarter in width, ami hi some different styles and diift ■- It is l'HI feet ill d. pth.

Recognizing the menace which th< lake liehi over the region below the South Fork Club, winch owtn«| the reservoir, had the dam nispecied once a month by Pennsylvania Railroad en giueers, and their inve tigation showed that uotliiug less than somecouvulsiob of nature would tern tin* l»ar< u>r awav.

From the Iiest information obtained at this time it is evident that some thing in the nature of a cloud-burst must have been the culmination of the struggle of the water against, the em bankment. The difficulty of obtain ing definite information added tremen dously to the excitement and appre- stoves and ranges just received.

The course of the torrent from the broket; dam at the foot of the lake to Johntown is almut eighteen miles, and with the exception of one point the water passed through a narrow- shaped valley. Four miles lielow the dam lay the town of South Fork where the South Fork itself empties into the Conematigh river. The town cou- taiinni td»>nt 21*) inhabitants. It has not lieen beard from, but it is said that four-fifth of it has lieen swept away.

It had S ihi inhabitants. 90 l>er cent of the houses l»eitig on a Hat and close to the river. It sis-ms im possible at this time to hope th.it any of them have escaped. Six miles further down was the town ofConemaugh, and here ¡done there was a topographical possibility of the spreading of t he flood and the break ing up of its force, It contained 25H0 must l«e almost inhabitants, and wholly devastated. Woodvale, with 2lHl0 people, lay oue mile below t’ona- llinugh in a Hat, aud otic mile further down were Johntown and its cluster of sister towns, Cambria City ami Conemiiugh Borough, with a total population of do.llliii. on made ground, and streacbed along right id the river verge where tlie imniens»« iron works of t he C until la Iron A St<sd Company, which has .<8.(tdt),UiH) inve.»t<d in its plant.

L csh than thirty years ago all geog raphies in describing tbe nations of earth conceded that Great Britain was the richest, most [»ipulous aud most (Miwerful among them ail. Doubtlwis every American boy in reciting the passage made a mental reservation m favor of his own country, lie felt c<on- lideut that American su|>enority would assert itself m a century at least ami that his great grandchildren would set* the same c I hiiu made for the 1’uited States that lie had to concede to Great Britain. l'he generation of school lioys have only Ilecvine well settled in their busi ness or profession, aud yet one of the leading organs of English public opin ion is already admitting that the palm of supremacy is passing from Great Britain to America. The extract from die lioudon S/ x ' i / k / oc published iu the Siimliii/ /’rixs, saying that the United States is "becoming the great est nation in the world.' ami that the only way in which a successful attack could lie made on the great republic would be by a confederation of all the Eurojiean powers, is a candid aud truthful mlmission of the real situa tion. The further statement that we are exercising a practical protectorate over the Western Hemisphere is an ac knowledgment of the manifest destiny <loctrine so dear to every American heart. It was to avert this result that made a great majority of Englinb statesmen sympathizer« with the Southern Confederacy during the War of the Reliellion. They rightly argued that the steady march of the United States to the primacy among nations <‘oul<l not lie checked unless it was di vided into two or more powers. John Bright, iu a speech made iu 1W1, re lated how n tnemlH-r of parliament came to him when the news of tbe se- <•<■»■ ion of th.- Southern states reached England and expressed his satisfac tion with the disruption of the Ameri can Republic, adding: "Why, if no sepiiratiou had occiirreti, they would have bullied all Europe in fifty years." George Bancroft touched on the same point m Ins memorial oration of Abra ham Lincoln, when he described the British minister at Washington as hastening, after the fall of Fort Sumpt er, to send advices to his home govern ment that "the great republic was no mor»-, and that all that IK !i(«W ljwxlfrnl i‘- u tombstone in tin- graveyard of na tion» to indicate the Jay of its birth and tbe day of its death. As Americans look Isick to that cri sis from their present vantage ground th»-v can perhaps f<-el a little more charity for tbe attitude Rugland and r-tiglish statesmen asHiitne<l them. It « is only human nature for them to look with jealousy on the only nation the growth <<f which in power and m-lies was likely to threaten future British supremacy. If the rival could Is- removed through its own follv in a.'irrelling and tightiug ho much the letter for England I hat hope ha* passed, however. and English ne ro that pigiers are re ly _ to acknowledge - ____ the day of American supremacy is at band. If it is to I m - a primacy of ma terial wealth and achievements alone it would be better for tbe world if it bail never lieen gaiued; but if it is to I»- marked by an advancement in all that makes mankind nobler ami l>et- ter, more relined and cultivated, then future gem-rations will rejocie that tbe dose of the nineteenth century saw t He sovereignty among nations trans ferred from < ireat Britain to the I’nited Stat.

Dead bodies are floating h I hiu I iii every direction. Tlio disaster overtook Johnstown about i> o’clock this evening. As the train bore the correspondents eastward re ports at each stop grew more apalling. At Derry a group of railway officials were gathered, who hail come from Bolivar, the end of the passable por tion of the road. They had seen but a small portion of the awful II o . h I. but enough to allow them to imagine the rest. Down through the ‘‘Pack Saddle” came the rushing waters. The water was rising when the men left at (5 o'clock at the nite of tire feet au hour. Clinging to improvised rafts, con structed from H< siting lioards and tim bers, were agonized men, women and obildrau. t heir heartrending shrieks for help striking horror to the breast of on-lookers. Their cries were of no avail. Carried along at railway sped ' by the torrent no human ingenuity could devise means of rescue. 'l’fie special train pulled in at Boli var at 11:3u o'clock, and the traiumen were there notified that further pro gress was impossible. The greatest ex citement prevailed nt this i>la«v>, and parties of citizens are out all the time endeavoring to save tbe unfortunate people. The tidal wave struck Bolivar just after dark, and in live ininnt» s the Uotiemangh rose from six to forty feet, and tbe waters spread out over the whole «Hilltry. Soon houses began floating down, »tud dinging to the debris were men. women and children shrieking for aid. A largo number of citizens nt once gathered on the county bridge, and they were re-inforee<l by a number from Garfield, a town on the opposite side. 1 bey brought a nuin- iier of ropes, and these were thrown over into the walers as [lersolis drifted by in efforts to s.ive some ¡»-rioti. « <»i»ij»i« fv list «>( Ab-fra<-1> of Titles to laud in Ja< k*««n »-«niuty l it le* examined.
