ing exhlmed. Parts of the parlor cars
have been found as well as the traces Of the
passengers. About 8 O'Clock the baggage
of Miss Annie Chism of Nashville, Tenn,
was found. She was a missionary on her
way to Brazil for the Women's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Methodist Church
Among her effects was a Bible, and in it
was q message to be filed at AltOon and adj
dressed to the Methodist Book Concern at
20 East Tenth street, New DIRK, announce
ing that she was on the train. Her watch,
some money, and q Greek Testament were
found. 1t was evident that many were
lost on this train. More than at first sup

THE FUTURE OF THE CHILDREN.
Nine children walked into one Of the re-
lief stations this morning led by q girl OF
16 years. They said that their father,
mother and two children had been swallow
ed up by the flood. Miss Barton in charge
of the Red Cross Relief, said ''Within a
few minutes we received notification of
perhaps a hundred orphan children, and as
the press was kind enough to send out our
address we were in receipt of offers from
all over the country to take charge of some
of the little ones. In many cases the chill
dren reported have subsequently had their
little hearts gladdened by the sudden appa-
ritiOn of mother OF father who after all
was not lost in the flood, but had found IL
friendly refugee on the river miles below
From Cleveland, Indianapolis, Altoona,
Pittsburg, and in fact throughout all Penn
sylvania and the eastern States, we have re-
ceiVed kilograms from societies and faml-
lies offering to take charge of certain num-
bers of little ones. We received through
the Mayor Of New Y ork message from the
T 1yc anH Nv attc n1pI m n 90 N N aly Y Ork
city, offering to receive twenty-five OF the
orphan children. OF course we gladly &C :
cepted the offer. We could respond to
many more such kind offers. 1t is yet i'm
possible to estimate how many children
will fall upon our hands, but the num-
ber will probably run INTO the hundreds"
SMALL COMPLAINTS.
In all the trouble of the people here, some
still raise the greatest cry over the smallest
things. One woman, who had saved her
baby, cried because she had no tlat-lron to
smooth dress she had washed for it. All
this morning the gentlemen in the town
Headquarters were bothered by a lady who
wanted them to find clothing that had been
in toated house. She wrung her hands
and cried, eXclaiming, -"Oh, it is terrible
calamity to lose ones wardrobe. Gentle
men, you must find it fol- me; [ am from
New York.
DREARY PROSPECT.
What of Jolnstowns future? 1t will
never be the city it was on Friday morn
ing. as it is doubtful if it will ever be more
than partially rebuilt. There are not a
dozen business men among the survivors
who are not bankrupt. They have lost all
have gone, too. The case of Harry Rosen-
steel. prominent citizen, is illustrative of
that of many others. He owned a big tan
merry at Woodvale, which was carried away
completely. He was the principal owner
in the Jamestown Horse Railroad Com
pany, which had 80 cars and 125 horses.
The railroad depot is gone, the cars have
disappeared and the horses lie buried around
the city. He owned lot of real estate in
