the valley. He stated to-day that there
would be but little change except that
the naw contracts that will be made by
the State for the removal OF the debris
will be on the basis Of Sl,50 per day for
laborers, He said that there would be
no additional militia brought In, The

are not worked as hard as they were, the
regiment is likely to be here for two or
three weeks yet

AxMEN FROM MICHIGAN.
The train from Pittsburgh this morn'
ing brought up large crew, among
which were 200 axmen from Michigan,
who were put at once to work on the
heavy timbeB above the bridge. The
timbers are being piled up and as soon
as sufficiently dried will be fred. This
Is what has been urged for some time,
and will more efTeCtually remove the
debris than weeks OF hauling the tilnbers
away as has been heretofore done. The
people in the vicinity OF the Associated
Press headquarters are having great
trouble to tind enough 10 cat. II is said
all the good provisions are at Nor
rellville, two miles from head'
quarters. The meals served by the
AmeriCua club are famous for their
variety, and tie people OH tho vicinity
OF headquarters feel more equal dis
tribution OF food would be only fair,
The only place where fresh meat can be
had is at the Americas club and 1t ia
rather hard on the correspondents to be
obliged 70 walk two miles for good
meal. The removal pf the press head.
Will make the distance from the ARert.
Gus club still greater. Some better
arrangements to supply the people at
the stone bridge should be made and all
the correspondents join in the cry "give
US something wholesome 10 ept without
compelling us to walk miles to getit"
