intention to gradually induce the citizens to

the citizeus.
COL. sPANaLER TO-DAY SAID:
II have figured on feeding the sufferers in
this section. Five days rations for
twenty thodsand people-the number We
will have to take care Of
will cost s1s,625, or about $500 per day.
That is, it would cost that much had we
to pay for the provisions. In about
fifteen days, when the Cambria iron works
get started we will be relieved Of about one
third this number. In this calculation
l am not figuring on the laborers, but only
the actual needy ones. OF course as fast
as business commences and stores open the
number will be reduced. The Cambria iron
company will have their company store ready
Ill few days, which will relieve us somewhat"
HARD LUCK OF THE CORRESPONDENTS.
the flood, most of the newspaper correspond
ents are still without sleeping accommodations
of any kind. and as on the first day. are sleep
ing in barns, brick kilns, and other places
without cots or blankets. Cots have been sent
here. they are told, but as they are
too busy to watch the incoming trains some
one else gets them. The militia have cots and
blankets, as have also the laborers, but the cor
respondents, who are doing the hardest kind of
work for the outside world, are forced to en-
dure the greatest hardships.
The supply OF provisions is improving some,
and they manage to get one and sometimes two
fair meals day. The provisions sent to this
valley do not seem as yet to have reached the
right places A number of car loads Of all
kinds of supplies have been sent to Nor
rellville, and as there was no damage there the
stuff has been misapplied.
A prominent citizen Of Morrellville said this
morning: ''There is large class of people
here who have not lost thing in this food,
yet every arriving train finds them in line
ready to receive their share. 1t is safe to say
these people have secured enough provisions
to last them six months and clothing enough
for i've years."
THE CAMBRIA IRON coMpANY's WORKS
and yards show this morning the best results
thus far seen of hard work toward a semblance
of what they once were. Each department was
told to clean up their own part of the plant and
as each department is damaged to about the
same extent they will all finish about the
same time and the works will be started The
railroad running through their yards was first
repaired and the wood and iron wrecksge is
hauled to different parts of the yard. and great
piles of wood are being burned while the iron
will be examined later
