1HE LATE JOHN EENN.

Aftss MoHtAs OF search by He wifs.
Before the hood Mr.. John Fem kept a
stove and tinwars store at 239 and s34
Washington street, where he did q thriv-
ing businsss. When the food came his
family consisting of his wife and seven
bright children, were at his residence, 223
Locust street.. and MY. Fem was at his
store. Alarmed at the rapid rise Of water
he started toS his hons by way of Clinton
street, 1t 10 presumed to avoid the water
on FrsAkliA street, but before reaching
his house he was ovortahen by the wave
and sought refuge in the residence
of the editor of this paper, and
when that house was knocked to pieces
was swept on to death. Seeing that
he was doomed to perish before reaching
his loved ones g. home, he called to Mr..
Henry DsrriM to tell HE wife and child
rem goodbye. Mrs. Fem and the
children, with the house maid, were
floated in their house to the
nsighbOrhood of Cobaugh's block in
KerHville, whom the house wos struck or
caught by other buildings and crushed to
pieces. The children were never seen
afterward. Mrs. Fem miraeulously es-
capped, but was unable for weeks to learn
of any clue thet might enable h1 to fHd
the remains Of amp Of the missing ones,
being hindersd much of the time
by sickness resulting from the shock
and exposure. Finally the body of
little Bismarck, the youngest son,
was fosnd and identified, but Il seemed
as II none Of the others would ever be
found. kra Fem did not despair of
findiAg them, however, and persSvered In
her search until last Thursday sftsrnoon,
when she found In the possession of the
Comuittee on Yeluoh'es the kov ring
with key, pocket book, containing % 88
in small change, and collar button, all
of which had been taken from the body
of her huslsnd at the Presbyterian
Morgue. The number of the grave in
Prospset, whore he had beeR buried, vas
also learned, and in the near future the
body will he raised, taken to the Presby-
terian Church, where memorial services
for the eight lost ones will be held, and

Necessary.
TAers was,no worse wrecklcaussd BY the
neodthsn that of the wire mills, The heavy
brick structures, strengthened and braced
BY iron work seemed to offer no resistance
to the sweeping torrent. 1t seems almost
incFedsble that water should have such
power as to overcome the resistance with
which 1t must have met Vhsn it sncoun-
tered the strong and heavy buildings in
its course. II previous to the flood any
man had prsdicted that the wire mills,
the Oonsmaush borough fire engine
house and school house would be
swept away should the reservoir
break, he would have bssn pronounced
out of his mind by most people. AS yet
not much work at strengthening up mat
ters about the wire mills has been done
although the GauttsF Mills have been in
operation for some time. On Portage
street and across it from where the wire
milis stood and for soma rods below, is a
deposit several feet deep Of bricks, sand,
stones, iron framework, wire of every
kind, castings of all sizes and shapes,
boilers and almost anything imaginable.
The Cambria Iron Company has a large
force Of msa employed in clearing up
this debris but the work is slow, the wire
being matted and tangled so that it is
dificult to remove. 1t is thought
that no attempt to rebuild the
wire mills will be made this
full, svt next spring thsy will be con-
stYdcted ON . much more extensive scale
than before the food. The company, by
trading and buying, has secured about all
the ground it desires for rebuilding its
worko in Conemaugh borough, the use Of
Portage street and all the ground between
it and Center street having been obtained
1t 10 Understood that before the new
works are ereted the level OF the ground
will be coasidersbly raised. such thing
would be very wise move, IS it would
lessen the danger from high water.
