THE JOHNSTOWtT DISASrEB.
The stories from Johnstown ot the
great disaster which overwhelmed
the whole of Conemaugh valley and
destroyed so maDy lives, are still
read with pninfal interest, and the
magnitude of the devastation wrought
seems almost incredible. The popu
lation of the wrecked towns just be
fore the flood is closely estimated at:
Conemangh, 2,500; Woodvale. 2,000;
Johnstown, Cambria City nnd Cone
maugh borough together held a pop
ulation of upward -of 30,000. The
ground covered was about seventeen
miles in extent, and all improvements
have been practically destroyed.
JohnBtown is a desert with several
small running streams passing
through its streets, with wreckage in
the center nnd having a fringe of
human bodies. The few houses re
maining have been turned into hos
pitals. There are twenty dead houses
in all. Each morgue keeps a list of
the dead, but no total has yet been
added and the number recovered is
yet unascertainable.
Johnstown was really not a city. It
was not even a village. Johnstown
was n collection ot boroughs, the
main mass of houses itself being
divided into seperate little boroughs,
so that when this calamity fell, there
was no one to take immediate charge
and rule, so there has been confusion
where order should have reigned.
But that condition is now well passed
and the work has assumed a syste
matic form that will succeed in
bringing the best results out of the
terriblo state of affairs.
At Kernsville about one hundred
and fifty houses are standing where
once stood one thousand. No large
buildings in what was once a thriving
little boroueh have escaped. One
thousand people is a low estimate ot
the lost from this town. -Only about
twenty.five able-bodied men remain,
and the streets hold a mass of debris
from which foul smells arise. In the
part ot the town where both rivers
and Stony creek havo done their
worst there were found.within twenty
four hours, almost one thousand bod
ies, which have been recovered or are
in sight. The place is one great re
pository of the dead.
Below the iron works is Cambria, a
sub-borough, iu which district resid
ed probably two thousand people.
Mere the scenes are out a repetition
of other Darts ot the flood-wasted
city. In Columbus church, a new
structure, which was flooded to the
depth of six feet in the auditorium,
the water had receeded, and the floor
was covered with slimy ooze to the
depth of seven or eight inches.
The Pennsylvania railroad is lay
ing tracks from Johnstown station
to the washout. A temporary bridge
is being built, and this evening trains
will be run into Johnstown. Com
munication by rail has been estab
lished between Pittsburg and the end
of the stono bridge. Assistant super
intendent Trump is on the ground,
and is authority tor this news. He
knows nothing of the condition of
tho track between Johnstown and AI-
toona. In some places it is said the
tracks wero scooped out to a depth of
twenty feet. The Pennsylvania rail
road loses thirty-live engines and
many cars.
Herbert Webber, the guard of the
South i ork club, says he repeatemy
notified the club of the leakages in
the dam. He was called a croaker,
and told to shut up or he would be
bounced. A month ago Webber laid
a complaint about the dam before
the mayor, and told him the dam
must give way with the spring
freshets. Three days before tho cal
amity Webber says the water forced
itself out through the interstices in
the dam and came down like a water
snout On Friday morning at 11
o'clock Webber says he noticed the
wator behind the dam lowering. He
ran aoross the country to tho dam,
and the water was welling out through
the foundations. He was helpless,
and compelled to stand and see the
cradual development ot the awful
flood. According to him it was 12:45
when the center of the dam gave way.
At one o'clock the top of the masonry
arch fell in and sent the great lake
foaming away to devastate the valley,
He watched the lake from tho bank
till he could see the bottom, fifty feet
below him. He was paralyzed with
terror. He thinks that but fivo min
utes passed.
The Sportsman's association, which
owned the Sonth Fork dam, was re
quired to file a bond for 3,000,000
before its charter was issued, and as
the association is composed ot
weultby people there is much talk ot
their being compelled to pay part ot
the damage caused by the disaster.

"Have you done anything for meJ"

"A commutation of,sentence?"

An excellent remedy for headache
from constipation and gastric derange
ment, as in fact it is for most of the
troubles originating with the digestive
organs, Is Simmons Liver Jtegulator.
It is what the name indicates a regula
tor of that most important organ, the
liver. It is a vegetable preparation and
a very valuable family medicine for the
various ailments arising from derange
ments of the stomach or bowels. As a
headache remedy few things equal it.
Daniel Collins ot East Alliance,
Ohio, was evidently born to bad luck.
Tiring of life, he cut n gash in his
throat, stabbed himself twice in the
stomach, twice over the heart and
then bung himself to tne limb of a

fered and he was cufdown alive.

It is surprising that people will use a
common, ordinary pill when tliey can
secure a valuable English one for the
same money. Dr. Acker's English pills
are ajiosilite cure for sick-headache and
