JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 1S.-Fully 5000
men reported for work at z o'clock a. m.
and were Immediately assigned to places
under the management of the several
contractors. Dynamiting the jam was
resumed and the shocks that the town is
receiving from the explosions is simply
terrifying. notwithstanding the fact
that citizens have notified those in
charge of the dynamiting that they will
hold the state responsiblefora any dam
age to property or person caused by these
terrific blasts, they are as heavy as ever,
and every shot shakes the buildings, etc,

flying debris has Frustrated the telegraph
wires, causing much delay and confu-
sion. The Philadelphia fire engines ar
rived during the evening and are now
engaged in pumping out several large
pools of water in different parts of the
city, in which many bodies are expected
to be found. A crowd of citizens col
lected at the general offices of the state
board of health during the morning hop
ing to ascertain the sanitary condition of
the town. They were disappointed, how.
ever, as the physicians in charge refused
to answer any questions or give reasons
for not issuing the health bulletins.
There is much indignation and uneasi-

Wheat and Corn Ruined.

lola, Kan, June 1S.-The streams in
Allen county have been usually high
all the spring and the heavy rains of
Saturday night caused the Neosho river
and its principal tributaries to overflow,
flooding the bottoms for mile or more
on either side. There has been no loss
of life or of live stock, but it is feared
that hundreds of acres of wheat, which
was just ripening will be almost total
loss, while thesubmerged corn and other
crops will be greatly damaged. The St.
Louis, Wichita and Western railroad
bridge across Rock creek east of this
place has been undermined and is only
prevented from going down stream by
the iron track. On this side of the bridge
nearly a quarter of a mile of track has
been washed away. West of the city a
large number of small bridges and cul-
verts along the wagon roads have been
greatly damaged and it is feared the
river bridge hiss been seriously under
mined. The water reached its highest
point at o'clock Monday morning, since
which time it has been slowly receding.
1t is now hoped the worst is over.

has not sufficient information as to
their grievance over the cut of wages,
and that Vice President Holcomb would
act in the matter. Accordingly the
engineers wired Holcomb for an answer
to their demand that the decrease in
wages be suspended. Mr.. Holcomb was
busy at Portland with the Oregon cleo
ton and an answer is not expected before
night. Said one of the members of the
grievance committee: "The company
is the aggsessor in this case. There is no
question to arbitration; it is whether it
will keep its agreement" The outlook
now is more encouraging, as it il thought

the bill in reference to the paying OF
Red Cloud for his ponies. He concluded
by saying the bill was ready for their
signatures. No Flesh was the first to
sign. About forty signed in twenty
minutes, when further action was de-

suit brought against it by a woman who
it had charged to be in league with dis.
reputable characters. So far as the ver-
dict goes it is. probably proper, as a
newspaper has duty to perform in ex-
posing vice. But it is very easy to en-
large on duty IN these matters in order
to make sensation which will sell pa-
pers. In fact, that is the motive, rather
than duty, which prompts 30 many such
publications nowadays in the great me-

from the reserve brought news to Mora
at noon that the Indians had sobered off

had wholesome effect in intimidating
them, and for this reason the expedition
was not altogether useless. The scared
settlers have regained courage and are
