THE DEAD NUMBERED.

The Bureau OF Information Computes
the Victims at 4 700
JOHNsTowN, June 17.-HOw many souls
went down in the awful food of May 81 is
probably a matter for historians to decide
Certain it is that the exact number who
lost their lives by the bursting of the
South Fork dam will not be known for
months to come, and perhaps never. For
the present. however official records will
say that there were between 5000 and
4, 900 persons drowned. This is quito a
large difference between the estimates
made week ago, that the total number of
lives lost would be from l., 600 to $4,000.
The official report of Colonel and Judge
Advocate General John Rogers, of Phila-
delphis, who is at the head of the Bureau
of Information, was made to Adjutant
General Hastings tonight. 1ne report
wos compiled after a careful research, and
the estimates are based upon figures furn-
ished by the census compiler Of the town
The report is, in substance, as follows;
NOT OVER 4,OOO LOST.
''Mr. Charles B. Clark, of Altoona, pre-
pared a directory two months before the
food, according to which there were 30
125 people living in the district affected
by the disaster. Deducting from this the
%. 600 survivors that have been registered
so far. it is fair to presume that 4, ,125 have
been lost. In order that the margin Of
calculation may be narrowed as much as
possible. have arranged with Mr.. Clark
for the proof sheets Of his directory and
census returns as basis Of comparison
with the other lists now in our possession.
After marking off the names of the survi-
yors as registered and of the identified
dead. the remainder of his directory and
census returns will include the missing
and the remainder OF the unidentified dead.

sideration of the entire field Of inquiry,

everyone to exsggeratiOn in estimating

Rapid Growth in the West-Importan'
Resolutions.
PITTsBURG, PA, June 17.-To-dsy we
set apart by the Lutheran Synod for the
consideration of the subject Of church ex-
tension, and after religious services this
morning the biennial report was read by
the President, Rev. DR.. A. W. Lilly, OF
York, Pa. The report showed $S3, ,09S. 40
received from all sources, or larger
amount than received during any previous
biennium. The rapid growth of the
church, particularly in the west, where
many churches have been erected, as the
report stated, had required the appropria-
tion of the whole amount.
Resolutions were adopted by the Synod
expressing its appreciation of the import
ance of securing lots in western cities and
towns; apr sailing to the Board to increase
the loan fund, and to the people for 81 900,
$500, and 500 subscriptions in addition to
the regular synodiccl spportiOnment; pro-
viding that the General Synod resflirm it's
apportionment policy, and that $35, 600
annually be appOrtioned among District
Synods, and providing that the General
Synod constitute the next Board of Church
Extension by the appointment of nine
members.

and Sullivan have had a serious quarrel at
Muldoon's summer residence. Last night
Sullivan was practicing with the ssndbags
and balls. Muldoon made some sugges-
tion, and Sullivan replied roughly.
Muldoon said that he should conduct
himself as a gentleman, and should have
no quarrel.
He then walked away. Sullivan went
to the Church Hotel and got gloriously
drunk and tried to run the house. There
was CONSERVATION among the citizens, for
it was evident that the great slugger was
bent on a frightful drunk. Since his ar
rival he has been the wonder Of the rus
tics. He gave out that he had quit drink
ing. and said Muldoon was giving him the
best treining he ever had in his life.
At the hotel be drove the bartender out
of the house beclueo he was refused liquor.
He took his position behind the bar and
helped himself literally, as we'll as those
of his acquaintances who chanced to be
about. After he got his jag on he turned
sullen, and sat throughout the night in
chair on the hotel steps.

The present administration of the Navy

JOHNsTOwN, PA, June 17.-Seventeen
more bodies were dug from the wreckage
here to-day. Among them was the body
of Mrs Annie Bates, of Racine, Wisconsin.
She was passenger on the day exprC-e,
lost on the fatal day. She was buried
promptly, IS were all the other bodies
found. Among the others found were the
three children of Jas. Clark. They were
tangled and entwined about each other,
and were horribly decOmpOsed. All the
others are as yet unidentified.
The weather here to-day was as gloomy
and dismal as the grief and distr6~I which
still hangs like a heavy veil over the place
Everybody is busy, however, and more
men are at work than the army of DO les
can conveniently handle. A meeting of
citizens was held at Alma Hall this after
neon - protest against the further use of
the heavy dynamits blasts. The blasts
used heretofore have been 500 pounds, but
smaller blel'' we're advised and General
Hastings has accepted the. wishes of the
meeting and only thirty-fve pound blasts
have been put off to-day.
TIMBER FOR HOUSES.
At meeting of business men this after
neon it was decided to esk the State au-
thorities here for lumber with which to
build temporary business places. To the
committee who waited on General Hest
ings. that gentleman said he would supply
all the lumber delired within a week.
Many OF the temporary buildings will be
constructed on the old public square.
Notwithstanding the large quantities of
provisions and supplies being shipped here,
there are many people who would like TO
buy what they want and are urging that
the temporary businel place be con-
structed at once. The State Board of
Health made complete tour of the sew
ersl bOrOughs to-day. They have not yet
made report, but it is hinted in official
circles that the sanitary arrangements viii
be severely criticised and condemned and
many recommendations will be made.
Three members of the Fourteenth Regi-
ment were arrested at Cambria City to-
night, charged with insulting womeA.
They were locked up. The citizens Of the
placs are burning with indignation, and
many threats of lynching are made tc-
night.
The report of Commissary General Span
ger to General Hastings to-day shows that
20, 515 people we're fed by the Commissary
Department to-day.

that he never signed treaty and never

would not believe it. He is cunning and
suspicious, aud thinks the Commissioners
are giving out the reports to influence the
Indians at the upper agencies. There is
every reason to believe the Commissioners
will succeed in opening the reservation,
but they must do it without the aid or
consent of Sitting Bull or friendl.
