when a road is thrown out, it grows up
with bush etc very quickly, and the right
materially ceases.
2nd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (WilsOR) There is this differ
ence beween the two roads. that the
one to "Allaudale' is requisite, as
there is cane cultivation on both
sides and there are people living at
"Allandale" and "HOpe," which road leads
to both places. AS regards "Hard La
bour" nothing of the sort exists. he must
say again, he thought it was but mere JUS
tice to nave that part of tue public roads
omitted, 80 that those who have hitherto
nominally had the work but did not do any
thing, can partake in the general repairs
elsewhere aud lessen the burthen for others.
3rd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (He,citt: If there be some cane
cultivation on ~"Allandale," there is at all
events none on Hope and that road leads
up to Hope"

An Extra Session of Congress Urged by the National WOOl-Growers, Associa- ton.
 WASHINGTON, June 4.-Mr. Morris, an at
 torney of this city, recently wrote to the secretary of the treasury on behalf of the Catholic University of America, located in the district of Columbia, saying that the uni versity desired to have the services of several learned European professors for the divinity department of the university and inquiring whether the immigration of such persons would be regarded by the department as a violation of the terms of the alien contract labor law. He added that negotiations for their employment had been suspended pend' ing settlement of this question. The mat ter was referred to Gen. Hepburn, solicito, of the treasury, and that official has just given an opinion that the immigration of the foreign professors under any contract express or implied would be clearly violation of the alien contract labor law.
 The president has received letter from g
 committee of the National Wool Growers as, l sociation, dated Columbus, Ohio, May 24 1 urging the necessity for an extra session o1 | congress to be convened at the earliest day I for the purpose of enscting necessary legis'a- \ tion in regard to wool-growing and other in' | dustries of the country.

 False and Sensational Stories About
 Lynching-A List of the Identified Dead.
 JoHNsrowN, June At is now definitely settled that at least from twenty to forty people were lost on the two sections of the day express that left Pittsburg at 2 8. m. on Friday morning, and the Johnstown accom- modation that was about to leave Johnstown that afternoon. There have been numerous and conflicting reports about how many trains were caught in the flood, but from most reliable sources it has been ascertained that three trains were caught by the water. MT. Edward NJ. Mccullough, of the Vest moreland Coal company, was among the pas- sengers in the day express east on Friday morning He states positively that there were two sections of the day express and the Johnstown accommodation eau ght in the flood. He said; 'sIt is my opinion that at least twenty people were drowned from the trains, in fact can count that many my self. The death rate may go as high as for ty. There was one parlor car and three | sleepers on the express and several other I oars. We did not know of the flood until ! AOOub In1rby SoCOuuS D61OIo AG WhS uPOA uS. We heard the whistling of the engines and | all who could ran to the hills, except two young ladies. one of whom think lived in Pittsburg, and the other who had been visit | ing there lived in New Jersey. The next ! morning we found both of them cold in | death. The colored porter and one woman | were lost from one of the sleeping cars. The porter tried to save the woman and both ! were drowned. In another car an old gen. tleman was lost and in the parlor car & wo I man lost her husband and sister and another lady passenger her three children. The wo- man made desperate effort to save the chil-
 dren, but it was useless to try as the odds ! were so great against her. A woman named
 Christian, who lives in Mississippi, was lost
 from one of the cars and twelve passengers
 in the day coach are missing. The Pullman cars took fire and were totally destroyed.
 One of Daly's theatrical companies were on
 one of the trains, but do not think any oi
 the members were lost It is said that al

 JoHNsTowN, June 4.-At the present rate there will soon be live man digging ih the ruins to every dead one. Evans Johns, the Pittsburg contractor, stated to-day that 2,20O men would be at work in the ruins by to-
 morrow morning. Three hundred arrived
 to-day and five hundred are expected to- morrow. There are twenty-six foremen, level-headed men, who keep their unwieldy
 and exhausted forces under control: The heavy work was done on the Point district where a couple of hundred mansions lie in solid heaps of brick, stone and timber. Here the labors of the searohers were rewarded by the discovery of corpse about every i've minutes. As general thing the bodies were l mangled and unrecognizsble unless by marks | or letters on their persons.
