"Please ship at once 10000 pounds Of
fresh bread, 10000 pounds TO be shipped each
day for five days, 1909 via Baltimore and
Ohio and 10000 via Pennsylvania railroad I;
e,oOU quart cans of tomatoes, half via Balti-
more and Ohio and half via Pennsylvania
railroad; 1000 quart cans OF corn, ditto; 10
barrels OF vinegar, ditto; 1000 boxes pepper,
dltto; 90 bushels onions, ditto; 100 cheeses,
DITTO. The emergency is very great aud un-
less shipments begin at once there will be a
famine IN this entire valley
Orders were placed within few minutes
Tor the entire amount Of the requisitiun,
amounting 10 about $1,000, and the first
Shipment was made in the afternoon. In this
connection MIR. Reuben Miller remarked that
such orders as this one furnished the best
refutation needed Of the reports current that
there is superabundance of supplies at
Johnstown, and every reason why contribu-
tions should be continued right along for the
present.
Hereafter the railroads leading to Johns
town viii be relieved Of the embargo placed
upon them blythe general relief committee, and
people can come and go at pleasure without
hrst securing the special order and a handful
OF passes that have been necessary.
The Relief Fund Has Reached s5O5, GOO.
Contributions to the relief fund continue TO
come IN with encouraging regularity, but the
amounts are growing smaller. Fear is ex-
pressed that the action Of tho governor In
undertaking the entire charge Of the dis
distribution of the fund will tend to interfere
with subscriptions. Up to last night the
amount received by the treasurer was $685.
