Back Homo Again.

The Wilmington party that went to
Johnstown on Friday evening TO see for
themselves how things were in that de-
vastated city, arrived home this morn
ing. Every one of them has terrible tales
Of suffering and devasta ion to relate.
Mr.. Henry G. Robinson states the
money that reaches the place is economi-
cally used, but there is great want OF
system in the distribution OF provisions
aud clothing. A man stands up where
the clothing is distributed, and holding
out pair Of pants 9Gks, who will take
these will, says man In the crowd,
and they are thrown To him, without any
knowledge of who he is or whether he Is
In need of them.
So with women's clothing. Women
come up, hold out their aprons and get
clothing without any inquiry as TO their
need OF the same. Hams and provisions
are given out and carried OIL in the same
manner. But Mr. Robinson said that the
military were about taking control, and
things would be reduced TO system.
The people, many OF Them who crowd
ar und the provision and clothing de-
psrtment, live on the hills and were not
touched by the floods, and they were bet
ter OF now than they were before the
destroyed.
1t is In Johnstown as If In Wilmington
you nOuld Mot Uut all the city east OF
Bronze street and from the Brandywiae
to the hrstiaua.
Mr.. Robinson says he walked mile
aud quarter over the roofs and debris
OF houses. The streets are complete y
obliterated and covered with sand and
| ruins, al beneath this debris are hun
dreds OF dead bodies.
He was shown pile Of sand in street
from which seven 'ad bodies had been
taken tue day before. Tie talk about
epidem cs was very much in the imagi a.
ton.
The o. ly smell that affected him was
that arising from the burning of dead
horses aud other ANIMALS, which are
thrown into cellar and fire built over
them. Mr.. Robinson gives heartrending
sketch OF the liud!pg oil Bessie BrI aut .
body.
1t was uneartted twice before 1t vas
fully identified. He was also down at
kcrnvlle. The happiest man he saw
There was Mr.. Cuulburne. II nave lost

God my family is safe, every memter OF
it,"
Other families said there were nine of
US but only two saved; eight and only
one saved and SO on, none were so lucky
as MIR. Coulburne. Mr.. Robinson had
many iplercstl z incidents to relate but
which a. this lat iour of going 10 press

A novel arrangement for feeding their
horses has been put in the stables of the
Charles Warner Company, over Market
street bridge. There are fourteen stalls
in the stable, and over the feed manger
of each stall there lie q large tin box with
movable bottom. The food is placed
in these boxes, the bottoms of which are
connected with large clock. This is set
to the hour at which It ia desired tie
horses shall be fed, and when the hands
IT ach that hour the bottoms of the boxes
are released and the food pours down
into tue feed troughs. The advantage of
tits arrangement is that the horses can
be fed at any hour, whether the stab e.
met are pre'ett or not. This is the first
apparatus OF the kind IN use in this city,
but II Is probable that others will be in-
tire duced in the different stablee.

They are prepared to testify that tine
change is good one, as people who want

by preventing the gathering of crowds In
