A WARNING SEVEN YEARS AGO.
1--WE were afraid OF that lake seven years
ago." said a Johnstown man. "No one
could see tine immense height to which that
artificial dam had been built without lear
Ing the tremendous power Of water behind
II. The dam must have had sheer height
OF 100 feet, thus forcing the water that high
above its natural bed and making lake
at least three miles long and q mile wide
out Of what could scarcely be called pond.
| doubt II there Ia man or woman In
Johnstown who at some time or other had
rot feared and SPOKEN OF the terrible dis
aster that has now come. People wondered
and asked why the dam was nor strength
ened, as 1t certainly had become weak
but nothing was done and bye and bye they
talked less and less about II, as nothing
happened, though now and then some
would shake their heads as II conscious the
lea full day would come some time when
their worst fears would be realized.
"Johustown ie In q sort OF hollow be.
tween two rivers and that lake must have
swept over the city at depth OF 40 feet.
II is impossible that such an awful thing
could happen to city OF 40. 900 inhabitants,
aud II It has thousands have lost their lives,
and men are to blame for 1t, for warnings
have beeen uttered thousand times and
have received no attention"

To This IN Much of the Loss OF HtEe
Due-'The Dam "A Source OF Un-
easincss for n Year - Unheeued
WARNINGS.
NEw FLoREEoB. Pa, June THE calamity
OF yesterday was as singular as II was
fatal. 1t is now very evident that more
lives have been lost because Of foolish In
credulity than from ignorance OF the
danger. For more than year there nave
been fears OF an accident OF Just such
character. The foundations OF the dam
were considered TO be shaky early last
spring and many increasing leakagss were
reported from time to time. According TO
people who live in JohnsLown and other
towns on the line OF the river, ample
time was given to the Johnstown
folks by the railroad officials and by other
gentlemen o. standing and reputation in
hundreds OF cases. But this werpinR was
utterly disregarded and those who needed
II early In the day were looked upon as
towards and many ieers were uttered
the rank grass beside the river.
Whether soolhnrdiness numbers It's flood
victims by scores or by tho hundreds no
one yet knows, and it' Will be many days
before the writing up of tombstones aud
the tracing OF "the unknown dead" are
ended. There has grown up bitter feel-
ing among the surviving sufferers against
damage suits Will be plentiful In the future.
TIE DEAD ESTIMATED AT 1900.
The dam In Stony creek above Johns.
town broke about noon yesterday ana
thousands OF feet OF Lumbar passed down
the stream. 1t is Impossible 10 tell what
| the loss of life will roll up, but sober.
| minded people do not hesitate to say that
1900 Is moderate. Arsilrcad engineer said
this morning.:
II have been at Sang Hollow with my
| train since II O'Clock yesterday and have
seen fully 600 persons lost In the food
j. w. Z sch, brave railroad employe
saved l6 lives at Nlneveh.
AN AWFUL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN THI
| MIDST OF THE FLOOD.
The most awful culmination OF the awful
night was the roasting OF a hundred o.
more people In mid flood. The ruin o
houses, old buildings and otner structures
swept against the new railroad bridge a
Johnstown and an from overturn I'd stove o
some such cause the upper part OF tn
wreckage caught IRE. and thus helplessl!

and the water was rushing through the
upper end OF the town. About a. m. word
waa received at Wflliamsport that the boom
at Lock Haven had broken and that the
place was overlooked. Since then no news
has been received as to the condition OF
affairs.
No definite information can be given as
to when the trains held on both sides OF
Johnstown will move from tho stations at
ut which they are now laid up, On the
middle division between Harrisburg and
Altoona the line ia very badly blocked but
the rain has ceased falling aud the flood In
the Juniata Is likely to decrease. From
Harrisburg north to Willlamsport, on the
Northern Central division. the condition OF
the track is nearly as bad as on the middle
division and no trains will be run until the
track can be made safe.
Beg ond Williamsport on the Philadelphia
i Erie branch the small amount OF inform
alton received ia enough to show that the
running of trains is out OF the question.
ON the Northern Central branch between
Harrisburg and Baltimore there are several
bad washouts and no trains have yet been
run on that division.
On the Philadelphia division between
Harrisburg and Philadelphia the storm was
not Of fuflcient violence to do any serious
damage. At Havre do Grace, Nd, the
water IN the Susquehanna is reported 70 be
very high but no serious damage has as yet
been reported.

JoHNsTowN. Pa, June Al have just

The mighty wave that rushed through

whirl, as they we're carried by the seeth-
ing waters down the gorge between the
endless hills.
At Jobnstown the whole centre of the
city wns out, as il mammoth scythe had
passed over the land. At that place was
q large stone bridge OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, one OF the strongest
that the company owns. The Conemaugh
river Is crossed by il at an anglo. Into
this angle houses, trees and fences that
came down the left side Of the river
rushed, and were piled one on top OF an
other until the arches under the bridge
we're closed, the current Of the Gone
maugh was changed and the wreckage
began to pills on high until rafters and
timbers projected above the stone. Then
the houses, nearly all crowded with
people, crashed, one after another, until
the terrible wreckage extended half
mile up the stream. No pen can tell the
