PITTsBURG, June IA Greensburg,
Pa, special to The Times says: The
banks of the Conemaugh river are over
flown for miles, and the whole country
is covered with water. The Pennsylvania
railroad all along the river from Johns
town to New Florence is washed away,
and travel is entirely suspended. At
Sang Hollow the operator in one of the
railroad towers counted
EIGHTY-sEvEN DEAD BODIES
floating down the river on the drift
wood. The river rose SO rapidly that all
the operators in the towers between
Sang Hollow and New Florence had to
flee for their lives. The bridges at New
Florence, on the Pennsylvania railroad,
and Coketown, on the West Penn, were
carried away. Houses, furniture, ETC.,
are being carried down the river. The
latest report is that
YOUNGSTOWN is ENTIRELY SUBMERGED,
and the roofs of but two houses are WIS.,
ible, while it is still raining and the
river rising at a very rapid rate. The
cause of the flood is attributed to the
bursting of the South Fork reservoir,
which covers an area Of one square mile
and has twenty feet of water in it.
THE DESTRUCTION IS TERRIBLE.
The dump at Johnstown is gone between
the bridge and tower. West of Johns
town at some points the tracks are en-
tirely carried away and the road bed

Debris will Be Dynamited.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June A. The twenty
five acres of debris accumulated by the
Pennsylvania bridge over the Cone
maugh will be dynamittee tomorrow.
The idea is to disintegrate the mass,
start logs down the river, catch the
bodies thus disloged, and inter them as
rapidly as possibly.

The Yield of an Acre.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June "A corn
patch of about an acre in extent at
Nineveh was dug over by volunteer
force and 1873 corpses were recovered.
The manner in which the CHASTITY find
was made was purely accidental. A man
walking over the field kicked at a clump
of MARYLAND; overturned it, uncovered a
woman's face. This indicated a rich
find, and the people. around were called
in to assist with the results above stated.
This increases the list of dead in Nineveh
to $50. The new dead were found under
about four feet of alluvial deposit.

THE CITY OF THE DEAD.

Nineveh Is Filled with Corpses-COffinso of
All Kinds Piled UP on the Sidewalks.
YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, June 4.-Nineveh is
literally city of the dead. The entire
place is filled with corpses. At the depot
eighty-seven coffins were piled up and
boxed. On the streets coffin boxes COW
cred the sidewalks. In the improvised
undertaking shops Sampson & Devore
have embalmed and placed in their
shrouds 1913 persons. At every place
there were the dead strewn around as
thick as flowers in conservatory. Most
of the bodies embalmed had been taken
out of the river in the morning by the
people at Nineveh, who worked inces-
sanity night and day searching the river.
The bodies when found were placed in
four-horse wagon, frequently twelve at
time, and driven up to Robert Kerr's
and Graham's shops by Harvey Moor
head. OF the bodies taken out near
Nineveh, fully three-fourths are women
and the rest children. But few men are
found there.
In one row at the planning mill there
were eighteen cbildren's bodies awaiting
embalming. Next to them was woman
whose head had been crushed in so as to
destroy her features. On her hand were
three diamond rings. The cry is now
for more collins, as the death list is
mounting up appallingly.
Members of the state board of health
have arrived in Nineveh and determined
to proceed at once to dredge out the
river to clean it of the dead and prevent
the spreading of disease. To this end
they have wired the state department to
furnish them with the proper appliances.
They will take charge of the town today.

Along the Riskiminetas.

PITTsBURG, June l.-Reports from
along the Kiskiminetas river, into which
the Conemaugh empties, are most dis
tressing. The river near Salisbury is
filed with wreckage and a number of
persons were noticed clinging to such
timbers as would bear their weight. At
Blairsville men are stationed on the
bridges and banks in the hope of rescu-
ing some of the who were being carried
down the tream. The iron bridge con-
Meeting Blairsville with Blairsville Inter
section has been carried away and with
1t train of heavily loaded cars standing
upon the bridge to hold it in place. This
was the largest and strongest bridge
on the West Pennsylvania road. 1t is
thought that all the West Pennsylvania
railroad bridges will share a similar
fave.
ALL EXPECT TO BE SUBMERGED.
All of the towns In the Kiskiminetas
valley are expected to be submerged.
Among them are Livermore, Salisbury,
Apollo, Leechburg and Avemore, hav-
ing population of from 5000 to 10000
each. The inhabitants all along the river
have been warned but are almost panic
stricken at the idea of their great loss of
property which is inevitable.
CoKETowN SUBMERGED.
Late reports from Coketown are to the
effect that the entire town is submerged
and number of lives have been lost at
that place.

THE gossips have it that the present
situation in Hayti is very ticklish, and
that some fighting may be necessary on
the part of Uncle Sam i'm order to carry
out the Monroe doctrine. tits reported
that France is about to interfere in the
affairs of that country, and that Secre-
tary Blaine and the President after con-
sulting the rest of the Cabinet have de-
termined to send an American commls-
sion on board one of the strongest war
vessels to see that France and the rest OF
Europe keep their hands off. Many
people believe that this commission has
already been appointed, and that the
whole thing will be kept secret until it is

Houses, Barns and Whole Forests of Ire

Houses, Barns and Whole Forests of Trees
Sweeping Down the Conemsugh.
BOLIVAR, Pa, June 1.-The water is
higher here than was ever known, and
two-story houses, barns, stables, whole
forests of trees, outhouses, smOkehouses,
railroad bridges, county bridges, RATS,
skiffs and driftwood by the acre, on all
of which imploring hands were held out
to those on the banks, willing but impo-
tent to help, have fioated down the swol-
len torrent of the Conemaugh. Informa-
ton received is meager, but for the most
part accurate. At Lockport, two miles
east, more than twenty people have been
taken from the flood. The first great
rush of waterr reached here at o'clock
p. m. 1t came like a frenzied whirl-
pool, and before they could realize it
they were in its grasp. Fortunately the
people living on the low-lying ground
escaped. At 7:30 o'clock great pile of
driftwood was swept along, and from it
came
SHREK UPON SHREK FOR HELP.
The terrified spectators on the shore saw
three women on the raft, TO one of whom
were clinging two children, neither of
whom was apparently more than an in
FAINT. The rapidity of the current and
the position of the raft in the stream,
together with the lack of facilities for
rescuing, precluded the possibility of
even thinking in the matter, and the
raft passed out of sight, the screams of
the women and childred blending in
their ears long after the raft was around
the bend. The stream then became
THICKLY sTREwN WITH HUMANITY,
men, women and children clinging to
all sorts of temporary salvation, and two
men and woman chung madly to the
tops of huge trees, the men emulating
the females in their shrieks for help.
Just at dark!a lad was noticed clinging
to log. James Curry secured a long
line and ran to the river bank. The
moose of the lasso fell over the head and
shoulders, and a moment later the
arenched little fellow was hauled to the
bank. He was soon restored, and stated
that his name was Edward Harten, 13
years of age. He had lived with his
father and grandfather and mother in
Cambria City, a part Of Johnst wn. At
o'clock their home had been

pier and he had not seen his relatives
since, but thought they were all

ING TO MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST TIE DISEASE.
Group is the terror ofyoung mothers, cs
pecially during the early winter months,
as it is then most prevalent. To post them
concerning the cause, first symptoms
treatment and how to prevent it, is the
object of this article.
The origin of Group is common cold.
Children that are subject to it take cold
very easily and Group is almost sure to
follow. The first symptoms of Group is
hoarseness, it is peculiar hoarseness,
easily recognized and once heard always
remembered. Usually a day or two before
the attack the child becomes hoarse and
gradually shows symptoms of having TAX
en- cold, and this is where the mistake is
usually made, the mother thinking her
child has lust taken cold gives it no espec-
ial attention until awakened in the night
by the violent coughing of the child, finds
it has the Group and remembers it has
had cold or been hoarse for a day or
two. Such circumstances often occur,
and in many cases the mother has moth
ing in the house that will relieve it, and
may be several miles from physician or
drug store. You can we'll imagine the
situation and her distress. The time to
act is when the child first becomes hoarse
or shows symptoms of having taken cold /;
if Chamberlain, s. Cough Remedy is freely
given from that time on, all tendency to
Group will disappear and all danger be
avoided The remedy prevents fully lO,-
900 cases of Group every year. 1t is the
main reliance with many mothers through
out the western states and territories
they have learned its value and how to
use it, and in those families Group is sell
dom known because it is always pre-.
vented. For sale by @. M. Dreamer.
