a Pitiful Sight.

The stream of human beings that was swept
before the angry floods was something most
pitiful to behold. Men, women and children
were carried along frantically shrieking for
help, but their cries availed them nothing.
Rescue was impossible. Husbands were swept
past their wives, and children were borne rap
idly along at a terrible speed to certain death
before the eyes of their terrOrized and frantic
parents Houses, Outbuildings, trees and
barns We're carried on the angry flood OF
waters as 50 much chatf. Cattle standing IN
the fields were overwhelmed, and their car
cases strewed the tide. The railroad tracks
cOnverging on the town were washed out,
and wires in all directions were Frustrated.
Clinging to improvised RATS, constructed
in the death-battle from floating boards and
timbers, were agOniZed men, women and
children, their heartrending shrieks for help
striking horror to the breasts OF the OnioOk-
ers. Their cries were of no avail. Carried
along at railway speed on the breast Of
this rushing torrent, no human ingenuity
could devise means of rescue.
It is impossible to describe briefly the sud
denness with which the disaster came. A
warning sound was heard at COnenaugh
few minutes before the rush of water came,
but it was attributed to some meteorological
disturbance, and no trouble was Dor
rowed because of the thing unseen.
rs the low, rumblng noise in
creased in volume, however, and came nearer,
a suspicion of danger began to force itself
to a certainty few minutes later, when, with
arush, the mighty stream spread out in width,
and when there was no time to do anything to
save themselves. Many of the unfortunates
were whirled into the middle of the stream
before they could turn around; men, women
and children were struggling in the streets,
and it is thought that many of the them
never reached Johnstown, but only mile or
two below.
At Johnstown a similar scene was enacted,
only on much larger scale. The population
IS greater, and the sweeping whirlpool rushed
into denser mass Of humanity The magma
ton of the reader can better depict the spec
tacle than the pen of the writer can give it: 1t
was a twilight of terror, and the gathering
shades of evening closed in on a panorama of
horrors that has few parallels in the history
of casualties. The thought of rescue was
madness, and the agony of the struggling,
drowning victims found its response
in the bosoms of those who stood
wringing their hands in helpless horror in
view of their friends. Now and then the
waters would wash against one side Of the
mountain and then to the other side, carry
ing with them their human freight. This di-
version enabled those on the banks to rescue
many.

Two Trains Overwhelmed.

A frightful disaster occurred to two of the
through trains from Pittsburgh which were
east bound, from Chicago to New York and
the mail train from Pittsburg, bound east,
were put on the back tracks in the yard at
Conemaugh when the flooded condition of the
main tracks made it apparently unsafe to pro-
ceed further. When the continued rise of the
water made their danger apparent, the fright
ened passengers fed from the two trains to
the hills near by. Some in their wild
element threw themselves into the raging
current and were drowned. A number Of per-
sons were1ost this way. When Superintendent
Trump reached Conemaugh, he Immediately
gathered together the remaining passengers
of the two trains, and had them conveyed to
Ebensburg by wagon, a distance Of about ten
miles.
After the people had deserted the cars, the
railroad officials state, the two Pullman cars
attached to the day express were set on fire
and entirely consumed. A car of lime was
standing near the train. When the water
reached the lime it set fire to the car and, the
flames reaching the sleepers, they were en-
tirelY consumed.

THIRTY DROWNED,
Men and Boys Swept With a Bridge
Into the Susquehanna.


A frightful calamity has occurred at
Williamsport, Penn. Thirty persons, the
majority of them boys under eighteen years
of age, were swept from a bridge into the
Susquehanna River and drowned in the
presence of hundreds Of spectators.
A great thrOng stood on the banks of the
river watching its mad rush. On wooden
bridge spanning the stream about forty per-
sons were looking at the flotsam that was dash
ing down. Suddenl y there came a cry Of warn
ing from those on shore. A great mass
recognized as the ruins of a building
known as the Beach Mill, came into sight and
was borne swiftly toward the bridge. The
water was almost level with the floor of the
structure and as the spEntered doors and
pieces of roof, piled in a confused but COM
pact mass, reached the bridge there was
crash. Two or three men nearest the
shore leaped into safety. The others
had no time to think, much less to act. In
an instant the bridge was crushed into frag-
ments and thirty-three men and boys were
plunged into the seething torrent. Three of
them managed to reach shore, but the re-
manning thirty persisted within sight of the
hundreds on the banks.
Two strong, handsome boys, evidently
good swimmers, made desperate effort to
stem the current. A heavy oaken door
struck one of them in the head and crushed
in his skull. The other boy was buried be-
meath huge piece of roof and was seen no
more. In less than ten minutes after the
bridge had been struck not one of the VIC
Tins was to be seen.
