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 --

Recognizing the menace which th<

that uotliiug less than somecouvulsiob

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

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

of registration of vital statistic», such
as is relied upon by otlu-r eivilizi-d tia-

our census affords tin* only iq.portuiii-
ty of obtaining near .ip approximate
estimate of I he birth and death rates
of n ueb the larger part of the country,
which is entirely unprovided with auy

1’1 view of this th<' census office dur

issue to
the

physicians iu every part of the country

It is hoped that double this

Physicians not receiving Registers

If all medical ami surgical praetton

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

Derry. P il , May 31. A fatal Ho «1
swept down the .Ylleghauy nioiintai:.'-
this afternoon. :iu>l to-night idmoet the
entire city of Johnstown wooverod i»y
tbe angry waters. 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.
