with the great jam of debris above the Pennsylvania railroad bridge, he said:
 II think 1t will be almost impossible to through the narrow stream of the Cone maugh. The bodies in the wreck are fast decaying, and the best thing to do Is to saturate the mass with petroleum and burn 1t. l do not sec how else q pestilence and the pollution of the averted.
 Arthur Kirk Is gradually proving that he knew what he was talking about when he said that dynamite was the only proper material to use in removing the debris above the railroad bridge. Hith- erto he has been very much cramped in his work by scarcity of explosives, but now big supply of cartridge has arrived and the engineer Is comparatively happy. A clear space has been made above two of the piers.
 The great mass of wreckage Is gradu- ally becoming loosened. There is such a vast quantity of it, however. that weeks will be required to remove all. The rap idly falling water Is acting as an impedi- ment to work, as the river Is already quite shallow in places. If 1t gets much lower there will not be enough water to float the heavy logs.
 This debris is one of the chief points of interest now. as 1t Is undoubtedly the must dangerous pestilence-breeding place in the whole flooded district All efforts to remove the remaining bodies buried beneath it have been abandoned. The pile has been gone over several times and all the corpses that could be reached have been taken out. There are still several hundred in the wreck, but they are too deeply imbedded In the mass to be recovered, and there Is no alternative but to destroy them. Everybody ac- knowledges this now, and there will be no more hindrance to the work.
 The odor arising from the debris is becoming almost unbearable in the vicinity of the bridge and workmen are finding serious difficulty in remaining at their post for more than a few hours at GlIuc blSllllectu1llS nave not Oe6Q used on the pile yet. although they arc being freely distributed through the town.
 Curiosity and relic seekers have been warned to keep away from the debris. as disease turks in the air about 1t. They pay very little attention to the warning, however, their desire for plumber evil dently being greater than their fear of pestilence.
 <. A victim of the flood has been rescued from the wreck still alive.
 She is Mrs. George Stautler the wife oi 0 prominent photographer of the city. She was taken from the wreck of house down near the Point.
 Mrs. Stautler was lying, when found, in cavity beneath pile of beams. She was unconscious, but still breathing.
 She was removed to the hospital, and the doctors are making noble effort to keep her alive. It Is doubtful, however if they will succeed.

 People distracted by grief claim bodies and, after they have taken them away, discover that they have made mistake. Often the only means of identification is an article of dress or jewel. A woman, supposed to be Mrs. Margaret Davis, was taken away, but afterwards found to be Mrs. Masterson, and the body of @ man supposed to be Christian Fitzhavens, was buried Thursday. but later another body. undoubtedly his. was found
 As the necessity for immediate burial in many cases precludes the possibility of Identification, this will result in much litigation with life insurance companies.

THAT FATAL DAM.
An Engineer Gives Ills Opinion ss ts
 its BuratlnR.


 its Bursting.
 NEW YORK, June s.-Civil Engineer Fl. w. Brinckerhoff, of New York, Is in the Conemaugh Valley making an investiga- ton of the broken dam for the Engineer ing and Building Record. He tele. graphs:@
 1.-The dam appears to have been built of good gravelly clay, about eighty feet high by 500 feet long on top. twenty feet wide on top, about 800 feet wide at bot tom, both slopes we'll rip-rapped. Fail- ure appears to have been due to overflow caused by inadequacy of spill-way and az gravated by the fact that the dam was two or three feet lower at center than at ends, causing overflows to take place at weakest point. About 300 feet of the center of dam is gone. It's destruction took about half an hour from time seri- ous overflow began"
 The Record, in an editorial published today, deducts the fact that the weak ness of the dam was due to the new part added by the club which owned the lake, ssnN SohSAuoSo. AAc udu1 luilcu ITOlQ the erosion of its face. and not from the pressure of the water Some one has an awful responsibility for not having made sure that the spill-way was of ample di- mensions for any possible flood, and that tie erect of an earthen dam holding such a large quantity of water. above a popu- lous valley, was not entirely free from any danger of overflow.
 This should, and undoubtedly will be made matter of judicial investigation, and 1t Is to be hoped that the parties who are responsible. either through merely ignorant negligence, or through possible culpable disregard of warnings received, will be held accountble as far as possible for the damage occasioned by the failure to take such precautions as were de manded by the situation. And this de- mand for an accounting should proceed so far that persons owning or being in any. way responsible for dams whose failure would cause either loss of pr operty or life, willseeit directly to their comfort and interest to secure proper supervision of their design. construction and mainten- ance."
