The Blood

Is the source of health; therefore, to
keep well, purify the blood by taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medicine is
peculiarly designed to act upon the blood
and through that upon all the organs and
tissues of the body. 1t has a specific ac-
ton, also, upon the secretions and ex-
cretions, and assists nature to expel
from the system scrofula, humors, i'm
pure particles, and effete matter through
the lungs, liver. bowels, kidneys, and
skin. 1t effectually aids weak, impaired,
and debilitated organs. A trial will con-
vince you that it does possess peculiar
curative powers.

 RENovo. Pa, June &.-This town by Friday nights flood suffered loss esti- mated at s25O. 900. The whole country round was flooded Telegraph lnes were down and communication has been com pletely cut on until now. The water reached thirty feet above low water mark, and three-Quarters oi tho town was under water and several thousand people were driven from their homee.
 Many houses were swept away and the flooded district Is almost completely gutted. P. H. Sullivans opera houee, valued H0,0OO. was swept away after midnight on Friday, as was the South Renovo bridge, valued at $25, ,OOO. The water has now subsided sufficiently to permit those of the people whose homes were not destroyed to return. but the place Is Q vrecA.
 Over 100 families are yet homeless, while as many more have but the shells of their houses left.
 AtLock Haven the food was even more destructive than at this point. The town Is lower than Is Renova. and almost every part of it wac flooded. All of the business houses were ton or twelve feet under water, end the stocks with the furniture in hundreds ofhouses were de- stroyed.
 At Emporium and other points the lumber industries suffered losses that will foetup almost. $l ,0O0, GOO. while all of the surrounding towns and hamlets were way under water. One life Is reported lost at Lock Haven, but none here. Many of the people are in much need of aid.

 NEW YORK. June Alt was a poor day for the political hangers on at the City Hall yesterday.
 Their places had been taken by the phil. anthropically disposed with contributions for the sufferers at Johnstown.
 All the morning they poured into the Mayors office. and Mayor Grants desk was piled high with greenbacks to the amount of many thousands of dollars,
 The contributions came in so rapidly that the mayor was unprepared and was unable to furnish 6 list of the contri. outors for publication, and he refused to issue partial one.
 Fl have received, The said. ''s2, 900, cabled by MT. Joseph Pulitzer from Wies- baden, and a check for S1 ,OOO from MT. King, but have not been able to pre- pare list of donors to the fund and will not be able to give 1t for publication uutil later.
 He was asked if he proposed issuing a proclamation similar to that of Gov, Hill, asking for contributions from the people of the metropolis for the help of the flood sufferers,
 II can see DO utility in proclama- tion," was Mayor Grants response. "Work is what Is needed now, and 1 have been very busy preparing plan for the immediate formation of relief fund committee.
 Among the gentlemen who bad been invited by the mayor to select the relief fund committee arc the following.
 Grover Cleveland, Chauncey M. Depew. Ogden Goelet, Cyrus W. Field, William 6teinway. Josep H. Choate. Henry Hil- ton. Frederic R. Coudert, Cornelius Van derbilt. August Belmont, John D.

 The gentlemen present contributed in the aggregate $28. 900, which. added to the sum received by the mayor during the day, swelled the sum total to s75, GOO.
 It was determiued to send $50, ,OOO of this amount to tho scene of the disaster at once.

oencede that the remains of thousandi moro rest beneath the debris above Johnstown bridge.

Iaaoxo X0ot pcue0Vu buo ucp10 euoSS Jchnstown bridge.
 The population of Johnstowp, tho sur- rounding towns and the portion ol the valley affected by the flood is oy was from 5000 to 55, 900. Associated Press representatives have interviewed numer- ous leading citizens of Johnstown who survived the flood, and the concensus of opinion Is that fully 30 per cont of the residents of Johnstown and Cambria bad been victims of the continued disasters of fire and water. If this be true the total loss of life in the entire valley can not be loss than 1000 or 5000. and pos sibly much greater.
 Of the thousands who were devoured by the flames and whose ashes rest be- heath the smoking debris above Johns town bridge no definite information can ever be obtained. As little will be learned of the hundreds that sank beneath the current and were borne swiftly down the Conemaugh only to be deposited hun dreds of miles below on the banks and In tho driftwood of the raging Ohio.
 Probably one-third of the dead will never be recovered, and it will take 6 list of the miseing. weeks hence, to enable even a close estimate to be made of the number of bodies that were seen floating in the river in the brief hours. That this estimate can never be accurate Is un- derstood, when 1t Is remembered thet in many instances whole families and their relatives were swept awoy and found a common grave beneath the wild waste of waters The total destruction of the whole city leaves no data to even tell the names of these unfortunates.
 At present there arc said to Dc 2.2OO recovered bodies. The great difficulty experienced in getting a correct list ts the great number of morgues. There Is no central bureau of information and to communicate with the different dead houses is the work of hours. The jour- ney from tho Pennsylvania railroad morgue to the one in the Fourth ward school house in Johnstown occupies at least one hour. This renders 1t impos- sible to reach all of them in one day, par. ticularly as come of tho morgues arc sit uated st points inaccessible from Johns town. At clock last evening the 630th body had been recovered at the Cambria depository for corpsee. At Melville was the body of girl 15 years old. making the forty-siyth corpse recovered there. A mark on the wrist looked as If brace let had been torn from the arm.
