Men and Women Taken From the Rains
1 he Loss Not Leas Than 10.000.
Johnstown, June 5. Tliisufternoon50
bodies were taken from' the debris- iu
front of tbe Catholic church at Johns
town borouiih, forty being tboso of
women. Tbe First Presbyterian church
is beiuif used as a morgue, aud seven
teeu bodies bare been taken frnrn tbe
debris and Ibe river aud hmuulit iu
Tbe relief oorps from Altoona fouud a"
body neiir Sloney bridge tbis morning.
This corps took out thirty-two bodies
from tbe ruins to-dnv- Five bodies were
taken out of the wreckage near Nibeiz
bank this morning. Clara Burton, of
the Tied Cross Sooitty, arrived this
morning and went to work.
TALK OF REBUILDING JOHNSTOWN.
Something like uccuracy is bejug
reached in the .siinmtea of the loss of
life. The conservntive now ptr the
number at 10.00J. Nine, hundred nrtiiy
tents have been iliatribnced, and two
while-wulled villages now idlord shelter
to nearly C.000 homeless ieople. Talk
of rebuilding the towu has already be
gun, and it is thought tbe great Cambria
Iron Works will be running again in
thirty days, probably iu two weeks.
Hundreds of men are at work oleariug
away Tor this put pose.
ANOTHER CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE,
Conservative men are of tbe opinion
that the number of people destroyed
will reach from 12,(GG to 15,000. A very
large portion of tbis loss is children.
The general opinion is that fully 1,500
bodies will never be found.
CLEARING THE RUINS.
Where Johnstown's principal stores
stood last Friday, lire now pitched 100
tents, and before to-morrow night this
number will probably be doubled. Un
der tbis shelter are accommodated the
members of the militia- and the thou
sands of workmen who are trying to
clean the streets of this wrecked pity.
Over 5,000 men are thus employed in
Johnstoun proper, about 1,500 of these
being regular street bands, hired by
contractors, aud the others being volun
teers. William Flynn, a Pittsburg contractor,
arrived iu the wrecked city tbis morning,
and at once took charge of the army of
laborers. In an interview he told of the
work that had to be done, and the con
tractor's estimates show more than any
thing else, the chaotic oondition of the
oitv,
'It will take ten tbnusaud men thirty
days tie clear, the graiudso (bat thy
streets are passable and the work of re
building can be commenced," said he.
aud I am at a loss to kuow bow tbe
work is to be done. This enthusiasm
will soon die out, and the volunteers will
want to return home. It would take all
summer for my men uloue to do what
work is necessary. j$tpa mut be taken,
and that at once, to furnish gangs of
workmen, and to-morrow I shall send a
oonimunicalii'n to the Pittsburg Cham
of Commerce, asking the different manu
facturers of the Ohio valley to take
turns for a month or so in furnishing
relief forces of workmen. Th se gangs
should come for a week at a time, as
uo organization can be effected if tbe
men arrive and leave wl)n they please."
The voluuteers are doing a uobe work.
Nearly every town in Western Pennsyl
vania is represented by from 10 to 100
men, and many towns iu Ohio and New
York also furnish their quota of laborers.
These volunteers are working with a
will, but before the end of a week they
will "ant to return home. Tbe men who
come here will be paid $2 a day and
board.
All of the laborers who have been toil
ing with tbe wreckage are quartered to
uight, some iu barns, others in the tents
above refened to.
It as a scene as of army life, at time
supper was ready to-uight. The long
pine tables were orowded witk men.
Colli e, bread and cheese was the fare
to-night, but more substantial rations
will be given Quj to-morrow.
As darkness drew the veil over tbe
scene the valley beoame quiet, tho only
noise being tbe occasional challenge of
the militia man as he bade gome belated
individual obey the orders of Ihe sheriff,
aud leave the city of tbe dead.'.
JohiiBtown is under martial law, and
laborers only are wanted.
THE DEATH LOSS IS PLACED AT 6.000.
Johnstown, June 9. lhe work of
registration of tbe survivors of the flood
is going steadily off. I'p to this evening
tbeie were about 21.000 registered, uud
the list is still increasing.
Tbe number lost is placed now at 5,o0d
by those who held it would reach 10,000
a week ago. A conservative estimate is
between 3,500 and 4,000. Up to date
there have been 1.500 bodies recovered.
AN OFTBA'iF.OI H CRIME,
Followed by the Kuhida of the Guilty
Wretch.
Seattle, June 5. A farmer named
Rhodes, living eighteen miles above
Snohomish, was arrested and brought to
that place for committing rape on his
12-year-old step-daughter. This eveti
ieg he committed snioiile in jail by
hanging. No further particulars.

The Losses Amount to Millions
TH1KTY-TWO BLOCKS CONSUMED.
ONLY A FEW RESIDENCES LEFT.
The Flames Stopped Only When There Was
No More Fuel for It.
SEVERAL MEN KILLED.
They Were Caught in the Falling Walls.
Skattlb. Jane 6. Following is tbe
San Franoisoo E.ramDxer's special report
of the oonflagrution: The entire busi
ness portion, of Sfcnltle is now nothing
but smoking ruins. About 3 p. ni., some
turpentine caught fire iu the basement
of a two-story frame building on Ibe
southwest corner of Front and Madison
streets. The building, which wasowned
by Mrs. Margaret J. Pontius, and the
first story of which was leased by the
Seattle Shoe Company, Ibe upper floor
-being occupied for unices, was soon
ablaze. An alarm was inst mtly turned
iu aud tbe volunteer tire department re
sponded promptly, but it was iinpossib'e
to make headway with the tierce tT nies.
This building, like most others of its
kind in he business Gentor, ' as not de
tached, but was :he corner one of n run
of frame .'Hidings all joined, together
and of various bights. Valiantly did
(lie deptcttnent tight the lire, but with
out avail, for the buildings of tinier
were an easy prey to what within ten
minutes from the time it started devel
oped into a conflagration.
Adjoining the first building wns the
wholesale liquor store "f Dietz & Meyer.
As soon as the fi'e reaohed it the barrels
of liquor exploded with terrifi: reports
and scattering flaming timbers far and
wide.
The Denny block, iu which was a
wholesale ooufectiouery store, Gilmore
& Cci.'s real estato office and severtd
other establishments, inoluding n- num
ber of professional olfices. pnd soinB
lodging apartments, was soon licked up
completely. This cleared out one entire
square. Efforts to flood the Coleman
building on Front street to the south
were utterly useless, for the flames
leaped across Marion street with greedy
rapidity, from two saloons the Palace
saloon aud the Opera House saloon
and in less than thirty minutes another
square was burned to ashes, taking in
Addison Sjmith's grocery, Merchants
wholesale confeotionery and fruit store.
J. W.. Lang A Co.'s drugstore, John
Spencer's plumbing and 'steam fitting
establishment, B. J, Graham's tailor
shop, Edgar Bryan's pawn shop, the
Palace restaurunt, Sitiiison Bro.'s shoe
store. Gering & O'Dminell'a jewelry
Shuster's barber shop, Levy's clothing
store aud Dohen & M arum's clothing
store.
While tbis squ ire whs burning, the
opera house bl ick on the east side of
Front street, b 'tween M idison and

way to Snpoud street, caught fire In the

George F Frye and valn-d at 125,000,

of flam.. With it went the Seattle phur-

and clothing storo, Abernethy's slioc
store, Crosse & Co.'s undertaking es

tablUhiueut, clearing up another square,
Tho Kenyon block to the north of
where the fire originated had to go too,
uotwithstandiug the wind was from the
northeast a little by north. Iu this
block was tbe job printing establishment
of the livening Times, Venen &
Vauhn's music Btoro aud Bode's tailor
shop.
rum the F -opera house bUog the tire,
now fust beooming a monstrous con
flagration, swallowed up the square to
the south, consisting all of two-story
buildings tbe frame occupied by E.
Lobe's Golden Rule Bazaar; the Cali
fornia clothing house, Gordon Bros.
large tailoring establishment, the Ori
ental Biinar aud several other big con
cerns. Notwithstanding the progress cif the
flumes, the fire department struggled
with fierce determination to gave the
most valuable portion of Front street to
the south between Columbia Btieet and
Yesler, which w is one m igniticent row
of fine brick buildings of two uud three
stories, where four bunks had then

row.
Explosions of giant powder were fiuit-
less U prevent tne aw.ul spread of Ibe
relentless Gomorrah-like sheets of Home
and clouds of blinding, sulfucitiug
smoke. Onward the uouflagriitiun went
crackling, roaring, almost shrieking
The three-story building to the rear of
Toklas, Singerman & Co., iu which was
Weltoo & Co.'s sail factory, was an easy
prey to the heat and cinders from the
burning Commercial mill and lumber
yards.
The fire was soon oouimunicated to
Toklas, Uiogerman & Co.'s. Tbe wa er
was giving out and the streams from the
several lines of hose only reached the
second stor.es.
Tbe lacoma fire department hud come
over from Taooiua iu sixty-two minutes
uu the Puget Souud Shore railroad, but
both departments combined were power
less. Attempts to blow up the Union
block were wre disastrous to the vaiiaut
lire fighters tuaii ul.ytlnug else. All tins
row ol build. ugs succumbed, although
the occupants had t . me to get out most
of their m ost valu ibla effects. .
The square to the uorth gave way to
tlie fire easily, and so-ih the roof or the
three-story Occidental hotel, the fiuest
hotel in the city, got ablax J. Before the
oond igr ition reached Yesler avenue,
Toklas, Singermau & Co., Chilborg's
wholesale grocery., the banks above men
tioned, Treen's shoe store, Pnmplirey's
book store, Lnwman 4 Hnuford's book,
stationery and job printing establish
ment, went to ashes.
On Yesler avenue the Western Union,
Pacirio Postal and Puget Sound Tele
graph companies were burned out; also
the building of the daily Post Intelli
gencer and the office of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad company. Lawyers aud
doctors who mostly occupied the offices
were burned out, although there was
mercifully allowed enough time to get
out libraries and other valuable person ol
property.
The banks locked up their currency,
eooi and papers iu their firj-pmof V inks
and safes and left them there to be spared
by chance, or to he destroyed with the
d Mimed city.
