A Puzzle.

Why grown mon and women with matured
reflective powers should neglect their small all

sensible people thus bewilder conjecture. II is
one of the things which, as the late lamented
Lord Dundreary exclaimed, I" no fellah can find
out" Diseases grow faster than weeds, and,
moreover, beget one another. Incipient indi-
Ilarity I'm the habit OF body-what complex and
serious bodily disturbance, not local. but gen.
|eral, do these not beget, II disregarded? Battle

lation enriched, brain and stomach tranquil,

HUNDREDS OF WORKERS WANTED.
The Finance Committee Anxious TO Hasten
the Work of Cleaning,
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT

fFROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June IAN important secret
meeting of the Finance Committee of the
Johnstown Relief Corps was held on the second
floor of the First National Bank building this
afternoon. All the members were present and
questions of the utmost importance were dis
cussed. Mr.. Cyrus Elder stated that the work
of clearing the debris was proceeding very
slowly, and that it was imperative that some
arrangements be made at once to increase the
force of men. Slowly but surely the volun-
teers, OF whom there were thousands, are leav-
ing, and by Monday unless some new recruits
arrive there will be no workers left but those
brought here by Mr. William Finn
Such state of affairs. Mr.. Elder said de-
manded immediate attention, as any failure to
clear away the debris from the river would
most certainly result in pestilence. Itwas re-
solved, therefore, to use every effort to get new
men here and push the work with all possible
haste.
The committee was not aware of Governor
Foraker's kind offer to send 1000 laborers here
else its fears would TO a great extent have been
allayed. In connection with the removal of the
debris it might be stated that the most of the
maIter in the river at Johnstown is not marker
TO that at ConemauEh. There everything is in
most chaotic state. The foreman there saws
that If his force is nut greatly increased it will
be six months before he can even make an i'm
preston on the ruins. There was no FIRE there
and the entire remains of the village and upper
country which foated down is piled in every
quarter. Dynamite would he of little use and
oil and the torch are suggested.

RIGID SANITARY RULES
Being Carefully Euforced by the Corps of
Police and Doctors.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. !


JoHNsTowN, June THE sanitary corps.
under the direction of the State Board of
Health, is distributing disinfectants, burning
dead animals erecting sanitary conveniences,
caring for the burial of the dead and visiting
from house to house and ascertaining the num-
Der of persons sick in each one. The corps has
been increased to 60 men, and they are doing
considerable work toward preventing the
spread of disease. They have SO far burned
about 10 horses and large number of cows,
dogs, etc. One man was arrested to-day Tor
throwing dead horses in the river above the
gorge. Adjutant General Hastings issued an
was found throwing anything at all into that
part of the river.
Two carloads of disinfectants arrived this
morning. DR.. Goff says the work is now well
in hand ana there is not the slightest probablity
that any disease will spread. The weather
here to-day is hot and sultry and the odor OF
diSinfectants and burning carcasSes is almost
unbearable. The report that dlphtherla anu
pneumonia were breaking out in Woodvale
and Prospect Hill caused considerable excite
ment in the town. 1t had the effect OF causing
quite number of people here to move tnelr
children away. The sanitary corps has sent
out notices to the effect that all children De
sent away for the present.
The physicians do not anticipate that any
contagious disease will spread through the
towns The cases in the hospital have been
promptly attended to and stamped out. A
corps of ten sanitary inspectors under the di-
rection of Meat and Milk Inspector John
Leppart, of Allegheny, made swoop upon the
little borough of Kernville, and are tearing
things upside down, killing disease germs.
They have ordered a number of cesspools
cleaned out, and when it is not convenient to
do so copperas is given to the people to disin-
feet the place.
The Bureau of Health of Pittsburg, with IL
men under the direction of Thomas Baker, are
working on this side of the river. The sanitary
corps havo also established hygienic conditions
for the camps of the worxingmen. They have
put up hospital with the following corps of
physicians in charge: Drs. Hunter, Maxwell
and Burke. They have also appointed steward
who will take charge of any of the working
men who may become sick Barrels for waste
have been placed at each cook tent, and carts
will gather up the refuse stuff each day and
burn it. This precaution was taken to guard
against any possibility of sickness.

lFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June There is more destitu-
ton to the square inch in Morrellville than in
any other section of Cambria county. Fortu-
nately, however, the work there is more sys-
tematic than at any other point in the valley,
and the distressed are being relieved
with all possible promptitude. The
Pittsburg Relief Corps, made up of
members of the Amerlcus Club. has charge Of
the work. They have inaugurated house-to-
house canvass and some of the incidents they
have thus uncovered outrival anything yet
published. Refugees are crowded together by
the score in the houses of the town, those who
escaped the foods ravages having thrown
their doors wide open for their reception.
Among the victims found in four-room
house were q persons who had secured shelter
there, were several ladies belonging to the
upper ten of Johnstown, who finding them
selves bereft of clothing were compelled to do
the best they could and don male
attire. Their condition was no sooner discoV-
cred than measures to relieve it we're taken
James Kerr, Of the Relief Committee, in re-
lating the above incidents tonight, stated that
what is most needed here now is shoes. He says
there is a surfeit of clothing, save for women,
but that there are not half enough shoes to
cover the bare feet of the women, let alone the
men. Fifty per cent of the shoes sent were not
mates, be said, and hence were of no avail
whatever.
Word was received by Mr.. James Walker to-
night to the effect that the Borough Council
of Cambria had met and protested against the
removal of the relief corps at this early day.
Mr.. Walker said that he didn't understand
what necessitated the Councils action, as there
was no intention of robbing the borough of re-
lief for some time to come. CoNNELLY.

JoHNsToWN, June 7.-Adjutant General
Hastings has officially called upon the authori-
ties at Washington for Government aid to as
sist in clearing up the wreckage caused by the
flood in Johnstown and vicinity. The General
recognizes the imperative fact that the present
organization, however admirable, is unapie 10
cope with the necessities of the situation, De-
cause there is such an immense amount ana
variety of work to be done, and done at once.
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands OF
putrefying bodies, still buried beneath the
enormous mountains of wrecked houses, which
cannot under the present condition of things,
be reached for weeks. The banks of the river
are strewn with drift and bodies of animals.
saturated with the contents of Thousands OF
vaults and outhouses. which send out vapors
which are not only disagreeahle but hlgnly
detrimental to the public health.
This stuff must be removed at once. ANY
delay is not only dangerous but criminal. Inc
welfare-nay, the lives of the Survivors, visit
ors and workers now at Johnstown render I'M
mediate and thorough work imperative. Dlpn-
therla has already broken out, and typhus,
pneumonia and kindred pestilentlal diseases
lurk in the immediate backgrounds, and unless
precautionary measures are Immediately taken
a scourge will sweep through the Conemaugh
and Allegheny valleys, beside which the nor
rors of the food will be only secondary con-
sderation.
1t is proposed that the fiver banks and the
drift heaps be cleared by fire. This is conceded
in many quarters as the only sensible and
really practicable method of removing NTH.
while it is strongly opposed by Others, who
claim that the partially burned districts are

Mistakes once committed can't be rectified. 1t
is to be earnestly hoped that the national Gov.
ernment will take hold of the matter, and the
impending danger to Johnstown be ayerted.
