 WORK STOPPED BY THE RAIN. 1 The Wreckage at the Bridge en Fire But Considerably Dampened- Crowds Around she Comnissaries- Geverner Beaver Issues ProcIama- tfon.
 JoHNsTowN, June 14.-The rain is pour- ing down to-day and has effectually stopped work of all kinds in this stricken city where work should go ahead as rapidly as possible.
 The wreckage at the stone bridge, which was fired last night, has been dampened consid- erably and unless the rain ceases soon, that invaluable work will also come to a stand still. The crowds around the commissaries, which seem to increase with each day, are 8 mud-bedrsggled set.
 Eight bodies were recovered from the ruins to-day, three being identified. They were William B. Hess, 8 prominent mer- chant, Captain O'Connell, an old resident, and Mary Holle, his housekeeper. The bodies of an elderly lady and fair young girl were found clasped in each others arms and re- cling on safe. The five others were so charred as to be unrecognizable. Several hundred more men tonight arrived, and hoisting engines are coming in. Tonight the electric light plant is being removed to the stone bridge. The wreckage will be lighted up and work continued unoessingly. Heavy charges of dynamite have been put in the wTeckage all day, and several men were injured.
 HARRIsBURa, Penn, June Ex-Governor Beaver has received an official report from the State board of health in which the dis trict from the railroad bridge over the Cone maugh river at Johnstown to the mouth of Stony Creek river is declared nuisance. The Governor now has the legal machinery and the fund to apply 1t and the work will be pushed without delay. This afternoon the Governor issued a proclamation of which the following is an abstract:
 To the Public:
 The work of supplying the pressing bodily wants of the sufferers by the late floods in the Conemaugh valley goes on without inter- ruption Supplies for this purpose are fur nished in abundance and will continue to be so furnished without stint. Thanks to the generous donors the world over. No one has lacked or will lack If he makes his wants known-food, clothing and shelter.
 The propriety of using the money cons tributed by generous donors for the benefit of individual sufferers for the purpose of starting men in business might be ques- tioned, particularly if that business should prove remuneratiye hereafter. There can be little doubt, however, that the most useful and judicious expenditure at the present mo- ment for the entire people of the region would be a fund which could be used for putting up,simp1e board shantiss in which business might be commenced by the oour- ageous business men of Johnstown, who have signifed their intention of remaining where they are and assisting in building up the ruins which speak so eloquently in their be- half. Credit is rendered them to any extent by merchants in our great trading centers. What they need is simply @ cover for their goods and wares. Contributions in kind or especially designated purpose of building board shanties in which business can be commenced would be boon to the commu nifty and will tend more than anything else to the restoration of the normal condition of af fairs at the community.
 The problem which confronts the people of Johnstown and vicinity, and in the solution of which their well wishers everywhere must be deeply interested, is the restoration as earlyas possible..of the usual channels of trade and the machinery of supply and demand. The merchants and tradesmen must be en- coursged to begin the work of rehabilitation at once.
