ISTERRINo THE BODIES,
The bodies that were exposed whel
the waters began falling are in bad con
ditlon. Some have already been inter
red. In the haste and excitement nt
definite arrangements seem to have
been made for funeral services. The
only suggestion that could be obtainet
at Morrelville was that all the bodies
would be buried and general memorial
services held after tho present suffering
Ia alleviated. In talk to-day with Con
duCtor Hall, Of the first section Of the
day express east, laid up at Conemaugll
on the night Of the disaster, he said;
"The first and second sections stopped
side by side at Conemaugh Friday after.

hill, the first on the outside. Sud;

We saw two on top OF the cars. The
water set Gre TO q lot Of lime and the fire
caught two Pullman cars which were
destroyed but no person was burned, all
the passengers having left the train
before the cars caught. There were
about 100 persons on my section, which
was made up Of day coaches, After the
mad rush the passengers went back Ia
the cars and later were cared for by the
people Of Conemaugh. Afterwards they
were taken To Edensburg, They ex.

PROTECTION FOR PROPERTY.
Harry Rose, the popular District Az
torney for Cambria, is among the miss
ing, and there Is scarcely a doubt that he
| Is among the lost. Many have been re-
ported dead who are not. Col. John
Linton and his family arc saved. John
d. Rose Is not dead as, reported, mol
Col, James Mcmillan. The Rev. IL
Chapman, also reported dead, Is alive.
These facts circulated this afternoon
caused much Joy. A squad oibattery B
under command OF Lieutenant Brown
the forerunnerof the whole battery, ar
rived at the improvised telegraph Office
at $50. He went at once to Adjutant
General Hastings and arranged fol
proper protection. Another dispensarS
under br. Wakefield, OF the Cambria
Medical society stewart OF the Allegh
eny society, and Miliigap, Of the West
moreland society, Is doing good work
DIR. Milligan states that they treated S0t
patients to-day, They arc at Napoleon
street In Kearnsville. Nosurgcal instru
| ments could be procured In the city til
