place named the wind suddenly blew up
into q bowling gale, the tow line parted,
and the three schooners were rolling
in the trough OF the sea. The Calvin picked
up the Norway and Valencia, but the Bava-

great damage.
The best description that can be given of
the general appearance of the wreck is to
imagine n number of children's blocks
placed closely together and then draw
you hand through them in almost every
direction. At the commencement of the
wreckage, which is at the opening of the
Conemaugh, one can look up the valley for
miles and not see a house Nothing stands
but an old wooden mill.

JOHN sTowN, Pa, June 3. When Super
intendent Pitcairn telsgraphed to Pitts
burg on the night of the flood that Johns
town was anninilated he came very near to
the facts OF the case, although he had not
seen the Inflated city. To say that Johns
town is wreck is but stating the facts OF
the case. Nothing like it was ever seen in
this country. Where long rows of dwell
ling houses and business blocks stood
forty-eight hours ago ruin and desolation
now feign supreme Probably fifteen
hundred houses have been swept from the
face OF the earth as completely as If they
had never been erected. Main street
from end to end is piled
fifteen and twenty feet high
with debris, and in some instances it
is as high as the roofs OF the houses This
great mass of W eckage fills the street
from GU to curb, and fequent.y has
crushed i'm the fronts cf buildings and filled
the space with Iempde of the te a ible
calamity. The is probably not man in
the place who can give any reliable es-
innate of the number of houses that have
been swept away. City Solicitor Kuhn,
who should be very good authority in this
matter, places the matte at 1873. From
the wooden mill above the island to the
