Still Estimating the Number of Victims
The Basis for Figures.

Still estimating the Number OF victims.
The Basis for Figures.
JoHNsrowN, June 6.-Doubt has been ex.
pressed as to the estimate that 10000 to
15, 900 people were lost in the flooded dis
trict. OF course there is no way of deter
mining with any degree of exactitude, but
the guessing is reasonably conservative,
and based on close figuring.
At least $500 bodies have been found,
1000 at the lowest calculation in the
burned debris in the river, and 5000 in the
unsearched sand banks around the Cam
bria works, down along the river and the
lower part of Johnstown. From one to
two thousand are scattered in the valley
from Woodville to the bridge. and a thous-
and or two below the bridge between J Johns.
town and Bolivar. Hundreds were carried
down to the broad river by
THE TREMENDOUS CURRENT,
and may never come into the hands OF the
living. Said Adiutant-General Hastings,
this morning: I'm my opinion the loss is
greater than we can show figures for"
The Altoona delegation, which has been
all over the district since Sunday morning,
says the loss is $4,000 to Ia, 900, and
bases it on talks with scores OF all sorts Of
people.
The absence of former residents and OF
the fixed and familiar population is most
striking. There are thousands Of strangers
and workmen from distance, but for the
first three days oneperpetual question was:
"Where are the people? Here are about
ten thousand; where are the rest?"
REGISTRY CLERKS AT WORK.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 6.-The real work
OF ascertaining who are living and dead of
Johnstown was started this morning. A
corps OF clerks under the direction OF the
relief committee will 60 to every house in
the vicinity and secure the names OF the
living. Another corps will endeavor to
find out who the missing are.
A revision of the registry lists shows
that only 13, 900 people were registered up
to o'clock this afternoon. By this it is
plainly apparent that a large number OF
survivors will not take tho trouble to
| register.
The great number of bodies not identified
seems almost incredible. Some of these
had lain in the different morgues four days.
At Nineveh they are burying all the uniden-
titled, but in the morgues of this city no
bodies have been buried unless Identified.

Most Exceiient Reports from the Toledo,
Owned by Henry Nickel.
A gentleman who recently visited Sheri.
dan, in Madison county, examined the
Toledo, mine owned by Henry Nickel, Of
this city, and pronounced it one of the
best silver properties on the west side. In
the face OF the drift now being run. foot
OF solid lead ore has been uncovered. The
ore is of exceeding high grade. A crosscut
is now being run which shows a good lode
over four feet wide, and nearly all high
grade ore. The main vein is "a feet wide
and carries ore which averages $37 to the
ton.
Carpenters are now.e engaged in building q

THE PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE.

Three Estimates Which Put the Numbers
at From 10000 to $4,000.
JoHNsrowN, June 5.-Conservative men
are of the opinion that the number Of peo-
pie destroyed will reach from $4,000 to
15, 900. A very large portion OF this loss
is of children. The general opinion is that
fully 1900 bodies will never be found.
JoHNsTowN, June 5.-The best estimates
this morning on the loss OF life, based on
the registry Of the living and an unofficial
poll, is from IL, 900 to 15, 600.
JoHNsrowN, June 5.-Something like &C
curacy is being reached in the estimate of
the loss of life. The most conservative now
put the number at 10000.

His Brain Affected by His Losses-He
Looks After the Crooks and Vandals.
JoHNsTowN, June 4.-Deputy Marshal
Dick is man whose condition excites gen.
eral pity. His total bereavement OF wife
and family and relatives has affected his
brain, it is thought. and he goes riding
about the country giving all the assist
ance in his power and keeping an especial
lookout for law-breskers and vandals.
He distinguished himself on several occa-
sions, it is reported, by shooting Hun
garians whom he detected pillaging the
dead, but his last action is particularly
noteworthy.
A detective and two officers had ar
rested two notorious crooks that reached
town on Monday evening. They were from
Kansas City and were probably travelling

JoHNsTowN, June 6.-The state board of
health and the Pennsylvania railway are
to-day busy operating in the work OF re-
moving bodies from the debris above the
stone bridge. DR.. Gross, of the health
board says there will be thousand men
at work here tomorrow.
The sanitary question is the paramount
ono OF the hour. The state board of health
is looked on as more potent factor than
the militia and civic forces. This after
noon the work OF the board was distribut-

The Day Express that was Swept Away
Has Been Located.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 6s-..The waters in
Conemaugh valley have subsided almost
to their usual level. With the receding
waters the scene OF desolation becomes
hourly more weird and picturesque. Like
desert swept by simeon. the valley level
is an unbroken plain for miles, only at last
to find an abrupt termination in a noun
tain of debris that has found lodgment
against projecting rock which, like Ajax de-
fed the fury OF the elements.
The sun shines bright, this morning.
The work of recovering the dead goes on
with undiminished vigor and with. system
that produces rapid results. "a blast soi
twenty-five dynamite cartridges at 10
o'clock loosened up the debris and made it
possible to open the mouth of the old
channel. =
THE EXPRESS TRAIN FOUND. -,
Workmen have located the day express,
which was swept away at Conemaugh. The
remains of the train lie 100 feet from the
fourth buttress from the western end of the
stone bridge. Parts Of the parior cars have
been found as well as traces Of the passen-
gers. The baggage OF Annie Chism, of
Nashville, Tenn, was found. She was d
missionary on her way to Brazil for the
Women's Foreign Missionary society of the
Methodist church. r.. --
1t is evident that many lives we're lost on
this train, more than at first suspected.
The whole train affair is still a& mystery.
At least the passengers have not so far
been found and located.
Five thousand men are at work, and it
is expected that by tomorrow at least TO-
900 will be employed, but even this force
will not be able to remove the debris less
than several week.
