ORDER OUT OF CHAOS

AT JOHNSTOWN.
Fist Day Of General Hastings Rsgn-Exodus Of
Workmen-0fiCial Canvass Of Flood Survivors.

JoHNsTOwN, PA, June 12.-Order is
coming out Of chaos, military discipline
has shown its effects at the end of the first
day OF Adjutant General Hastings reign,
and JohnstOwn has decided to nestle
meekly under the wing of the Common
wealth, until she is strong enough to take
care of herself At a citizens meeting
this afternoon resolution was passed bid
ding General Hastings God speed and or
deriDg the city officials to keep hands off
Gen. Hastings has his large staff in work
ing order tonight, and aside from some
slight friction regarding teams for the use
OF The Commissary department, there has
ne, been a jar in the days proceedings.
A grand exodus Of wcrkmen has been
going on all day. AS fast as the money
was out of the psymaster's window at the
B & o depot the workmen boarded the
trains on which their picks and carts were
loaded, and left Johnstown without any
expressed regrets.
Work upon the ruins has been at a
staudstill all day, but tomorrow morning
General Hastings expects to have $500
men at work. They will be under the
supervision of Contractor James B. Nc
knight, of Pittsburg, and are furnished by
Booth & Flynn and James Mcknight,
Pittsburg; Coburn & Stewart, Altoona,
and Mclean & Co., from Eastern Pennsyl-
vania. The new plan of canvassing the
city and systematizing the distribution OF
supplies is meeting with general favor.
Provisions and supplies continue to come
in freely.
There is little change in the health sit
uation. Ten bodies were recovered by the
small force of men working.
The official canvass of flood survivors
was commenced this afternoon. There have
been several partial lists returned to head
quarters, but nothing official The people
who fed to the surrounding hills are return
ing very slowly, and those not yet here
are hard to reach. 1t is expected the can
vsss will be finished in about two days
1t took sll day to pay the men who
have so far been at work, and not over 100
to 125 we're doing anything. When it was
found that few men intended to remain to
work for the Slate at $3.50 a day and
board themselves, q hasty consultation
was held, and it was thought best to yield
a point before the men left, as it would
be difficult to induce the men to return.
1t was announced, therefore, that they
would be paid S150, and would be fur
nished rations as before. The notice was
too late, however, and but few cOmpars-
lively remained.
The bureau of registration reported to-
day that 49, ,678 survivors have registered.
Many registered twice, and some half a
dczsn times, which caused the list to run
up to q 600. For the past "a hours there
have been very few names registered,
scarcely more than q score, showing that
the work is approaching completion. The
number of bodies recovered is /, ,192, of
which 628 have been identified.

Telegraph, telephone and electric light

well, that is a question I cannot an
swer at present. If there is money enough
left we will, but we want to first get the
town cleaned up."
Hon. William Finn, of Pittsburg, ar
rived here last night, just in time to stop
a scheme which was on foot to freeze out
all the Pennsylvania contractors. Gov.
Beaver wanted one man to take charge of
all the work and sent him to look into the
matter. In the meantime Mr.. Finn was
in Pittsburg arranging about 1,500 men,
and had them engaged, when he received
a telegram from Gen. Hastings telling him
not to hire any more men and to come to
JOhnstOwn Immediately. He accordingly
arrived late last night and had consulta-
tiOn with Gen. Hastings. The General
informed the Pittsburg contractor that
Gov. Beaver had a man to take charge of
the work. Finn inquired if the contrac-
tor had any men here with him and was
informed that he had not.
"Well, " said Finn, ''let him 90 on
with his work. | will have nothing to do
with the matter. / thought / was to be
sonsulted in this matter, and have already
hired 1,500 men, but will give them or
ders TO remain where they are and let this
man 60 ahead. don't want any contract
myself, and only have an interest so far as
fair play is concerned. There are four
contractors here who volunteer their SER
vices, and if have any say at all want
them employed"
Governor Beavers man was called in,
and he stated that it would be impossible
for him to get men unless he got the men
the other contractors had, but he would be
willing to pay the contractors for their
time. This riled both General Hastings
and Mr.. Finn, and the result was that
Beavers man was left out in the cold,
and this morning Mr.. Finn wears great
smile.
The 800 special policemen employed
here by the Sheriff were this morning dis.
charged and soldiers were put in their
places. This will c1use considerable sat.
isfactOn to almost every one, as the police
always had orders that cOnhicted with the
orders of General Hastings, and there was
no end of trouble in getting through the
lines. General Hastings gave orders to
the soldiers TO permit all persons wearing
press badges to 90 any place they wished,
and consequently the nepspaper men are
all happy.

selves In Danger.
TOPEKA, KAN, June 12.-News reach
ed here yesterday from Jefferson county Of
the attempted lynchiDg Of Charles Lar
kins, suspected of theft, Sunday evening.
Larkins was working for a farmer who
lives in the neighborhOOd Of McLeouth,
aud on Saturday the farmer missed his
gold watch and ring, and accused Lar
kins of stealing them, which was denied.
The farmer told the neighbors of his
suspicion of Larkins, and it was deter
mined to hang him until he owned up.
He was taken out in field to a tree,
when rope was placed around his neck
and he was told TO confess. He refused
and was ierked into the air, but was let
down. he was given another chance, but
be more stoutly than ever declared his in
nocence and was again suspended. When
finally cus down he was thought to be
dead. Recognizing the gravity OF their
offense the lynchers sent for physician.
After two hours work Larkins was resus-
citated and taken TO the farmers house
where he now lies in an unconscious con
dition. The participants in the lynching
are all known, and are in a fearful state,
for, should Larkins die, they will be tried
for murder.

NEW MARTINsvILLE, June 12.-The
court room was uncomfortably crowded
this morning when Col. Arnett faced the
jury in the Cox murder case, and the air
was 50 hot and his exercise so vigorous
that the perspiration ran down the Colo
nel's face in great streams. He had been
employed by the Commissioners OF Wetzel
county to assist in the prosecution Of the
men under indie ,ment and his effort was
to bring the twelve men in the box TO be-
lieve in their guilt. This was the reason
that he stood before them in dripping gar
ments from ten minutes after nine o'clock
until the hour of noon. At that time a
recess was taken to give the Colonel an
opportunity to change his linen and Incl
dentally for dinner.
At o'clock Col. Arnett renewed his ar
gument. II was an extremely able effort,
clear and cogent, a strong presentation Of
the evidence favorable to the theory Of the
prosecution, and lucid Interpretation of
the law applicable to the case. At twenty
minutes after 3 o'clock the Colonel told
the jurors that he thanked them very cor
daily for their close attention, and he re-
sumed his seat at the counsels' table.
TO THE JURY.
The instructions to the jury were then
! L. II.
perfectly fair and impartial, and the twelve
Jurors filed out of the room in charge Of the
Sheriff.
Many of the great throng that had
gathered to hear Col. Arnett's speech at
this time left the court room, and the
super-heated air got q chance to circulate.
The indicted men remained in their
seats, chatting quietly with few friends
who had gathered about them. Their
faces looked a trifle pallid on account of
the excitement and worry Of the long
trial, but their demeanor was calm and
self-poesessed.
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.
In twenty-five minutes a Juror with a
large, beefy fist pounded on the door, and
it was known that they had arrived at a
verdict.
Two minutes later in open court the
verdict of scquittal was announced and
prisoners were Immediately discharged
from custody. They were surrounded by
their friends and warmly congratulated on
the outcome of the trial. 1t bad resulted
in their legal vindicstion and OF course
their friends, who have confidently looked
forward to this, were happy, and they
didn't hesitate to express their feelings.
GOING TO THEIR HOMES.
DIR. F. V. Cox, the elder brother, with
his wife, who has remained steadiast at his
