THE WlLLlAMSPORT RUIN.

.A+Scene of Destruction Along the Track OF
the Philadelphia 4 Reading.
WILLIAMSBURG Pa. June 7.-Advices
coming in show that the loss of property
has been very heavy at all places near here.
Morris, Tioga County, is a total wreck.
Many mills, dwellings and other property
were swept away. The Pine Creek rail-
road has suffered greatly. The track was
torn away and large part of the bank
was washed out all along up to Black
wells and beyond. At Saliadasburg much
damage was done. Houses and mills were
flooded and in some instances moved and
greatly injured. The plank road was torn
up, bridges were carried away and other
destruction caused at every point.
All along the line of the Philadelphia q
Reading track through this city des-
truction meets the eye. Many cars were
lifted from the tracks and torn to pieces.
the number of houses taken away or top
pied into heaps of rubbish can not yet be
stated, but it is quite large. Along the
entire river front going west from Pine
street debris is piled even into the heart
of the city.
Word has been received from the Ores.
cent nail works, on the Northern Central
railway, that the place has been nearly
all washed away. The population took
refuge OH the side of hill and are left
entirely destitute.

The Nineveh victims.

JOHNSTON Pa, June AT Nineveh
yesterday 146 bodies were consigned to
the earth from the morgues about the
town. Father Dorm conducted religious
services at the St Columbia Catholic
Church at Cambria City. This army of
the dead was placed in trenches. Less
than 100 had been recognized by friends.
None of them were claimed for private
burial, however, as in a majority of in.
stances the survivors were too poor to
stand the expense. These bodies were
gathered from up and down the river be-
low Johnstown, and the commissioners of
Westmoreland County furnished the plat
where they sleep.
