pounds, full gray beard, bald head,

Rev. j. III. Pershing, of COnemaugh,
has these bodies in charge. The rail
road officials state tonight that they
have information which leads them to
believe that not over seven of the pas
sengers OH the trains flooded at Cone
maugh were drowned. The first report
dead at fifteen. Affairs on the various
divisions of the Pennsylvania road are
in the same bad condition stated in
these dispatches Of yesterday and last
night. A prominent official of the road
stated tonight that he did not believe
that with the most temporary sort of
repairs they would be able to run
trains through from Harrisburg to
JOhnstOwn in less than
TEN DAYS,
or possibly two weeks. To put the road
in the same condition as it was before
the floods will be the work of years.
The first effort will be to construct a
temporary bridge across the Susque-
mamma river, on the Pnlladelpnla q Erie
branch. at Montgomery, to replace the
one swept away. This done, it
is thought Lock Haven can be
reached without delay, probably by
Tuesday night. Then, if the Bald
Eagle Valley road has not been washed
out, the condition OF which, however.
is not known, Altoona should be reached
by this route by Wednesday.
The water between Middletown
and Harrisburg still remains five
feet over the track, and the
few trains which are being run between
Philadelphia and Harrisburg are taken
over the Cornwall & Lebanon road,
from Conewago to Lebanon, and thence
by the Philadelphia & Reading railroad
tracks to Harrisburg. Altogether, the
reports received so far from the various
divisions of the road show that total
of sixteen bridges have been lost by the

The Boston Globe has figured out that
there is room for 10000 families in the
Sioux reservation, soon to be opened for
settlement. But some of these families,
as it thinks, would like to see the an
nouncement coupled with some practi-
cal means of raising the scrip to get
there. If the Globe will start a move
ment to raise the scrip, we will under
take to find room in the Sioux reServa-
ton for seven times seventy thousand

provides for no inspector. How full"

does not say. An inspector, authorized
to smell of his breath, make him walk

A FINANCIAL PROBLEM.

The difficulty presaged by the GLOBE
when the Sioux Falls constitution was
under consideration now confronts
the people Of South Dakota as condi-
ton, not theory. The enabling act
appropriates $4,000 for the holding of a
convention, but as the vote of the peo-
pie has left almost nothing for it to do,
by ordinary processes there is little
chance to keep $4,000 or more from
going back to Washington, in violation
of economical principles and good
usage. The act fixes the per diem of
the members, but as it is only 81 most
of the members do not take kindly to
the proposition to keep in session with
lawyers talking against time till the
money is gone. The most acceptable

stand up squarely against the liberaliz-
ing tendencies of the age and ignore the
popular voice. He is not comfortable
in that attitude, and needs railroad to
Siberia to take away those who would
like to kill him. A striking picture was
that the other dayof the emperor OF
Germany admonishng those who had
employed the striking workmen that
they had duty to perform to the state.
and mnst use every effort to provide for
the welfare of the men. The zeal of the
government for the passage OF the
measure for relief of invalid workmen
is on the same line. In Great Britain
the Radical motion in parliament to
abolish hereditary succession in the
house of lords narrowly fails, and will
assuredly prevail in the early future.
While the ancient machinery of most OF
the old monarchical systems remains,
the popular voice is permeating the
structures, and its intonations haye
constantly growing distinctness.

ALMOST DEAD WITH HUNGER.
A Mad Rush for Provisions by the
People.


JoHNsTowN, June 2.-This afternoon
George T. Swank, editor of the Johns
town Tribune, received the following
telegram from Senator Quay, dated
Beaver Station, Beaver county: "Draw
on me at sight at Beaver Deposit bank
for $500 in aid of your trouble" w. S.
Brown, of Pittsburg, of the Ameri-
Gus Relief corps, to-day notified
Capt. Kuhn, city solicitor, that the
Pittsburg Masons stand ready to fur
nish anything that is wanted. The four
tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad be-
low the stone bridges are filed with
cars for two miles. Hundreds of men
and women are vending their way
from Morrellville to Johnstown, among
the cars, and it is pitch dark. No acci-
dents. however, have been reported.
The scenes at supper time show that
hunger is beginning to drive the suf-
fers to desperation. They surrounded
the freight cars that had been
fitted up to feed the hungry and
shouted for bread. At first those
in charge tossed the provisions into the
crowd, and an awful scramble followed.
women were unable to get food, though
they need it most. Finally the Allie
gheny and Pittsburg police stopped the
throwing of food and forced the crowd
to pass in single file before the car
doors. Then there was no more touble,
though little children were crying tor
bread. where's that child without
stockings?" called out commit
teeman from car filled with
clothing. There were dozen shiv-
ering little girls in sight, and
many were too poorly clothed to pro-
tect them from the weather. 1t is very
cold here tonight. Many apoor woman
and her children are suffering. 1t is
estimated that Councilman James
Williams and Undertaken McNuty
washed and prepared $50 bodies to-day.
The remains at MOrrellville are still in
the vacant lot for the night. Many
have been placed in coffins ready for
cemeteries. The Hungarinns at
the tracks tonight to seize
the clothing and provisions. One
was turned over to deputy sheriff by
Officer Monongahela and the rest were
clubbed. The number of persons that
searched the debris for plunder to-day
is surprising. P0orly-clad labOring men
may be seen carrying away fine Orna-
mental clocks and rich bric-a-brac. Pi-
amos by the dozen are scattered along
the river, but they are ruined. One of
the pathetic scenes of the day was
man and wife who drew from mass of
rubbish part ola cradle. They looked
at it moment in silence and then
fell to weeping in each 9TH
er's arms for the loved little
one that was gone. William Warner is a
I>y,<> hos TOD fo 0f
ten just five ale missing. The Hunga-
rians and negroes are causing the most
trouble. All day long they have been
filling up with the whisky taken from
the river On Saturday, and tonight they
are in dangerous mood. The negroes
in Jobnstown were selling hams, sacks
of flour and dress goods for whisky.
They actually had the cheek to drive
wagon to the rear of a wrecked store
and load it with goods, and were haul
ing it away when stopped.

rHEJoHNsrowN SUFFERERS.

When we hear of great calamities in
other parts of the world, of floods in
China. of earthquakes in Japan, OF vol
canic eruptions in Southern Europe. of
plaques that depopulate whole districts
in India, we are not impressed with
their results because they seem so far
away from us.
But it is not so with the JohnstoWn
horror. Here is home calamity un-
paralleled in its awfulnesS, and it pro-
duces a shock from which we find it
difficult to recover ourselves. There are
those in our midst, our neighbOrS and
friends, who came from the ill-fated
town, and it is probable that those who
are nearest related to them by blood ties
are now counted among the victims OF
the disaster.
Many of us have keen and pleasant
recollection of the thrifty little city
nesting in the cosy valley, as we have
often seen it when passing by on the
Pennsylvania road. Perhaps nearly
every farmer in Minnesota is the pos
SCISSOR of some utensil that was turned
out from the iron and steel works at
JohnStOWn. Thus it is we are made to
feel that we had personal acquaint-
ance there. They were, at least, our
home folks IN the sense that they were
our countrymen, with whom we had
direct dealings.
Therefore the heart grows sick as the
details of the Johnstown flood continue
to pour in upon us, and we begin to
better comprehend the magnitude of
the calamity. But it is now not so much
the dead as the survivors who merit our
sympathy. The thousands who perished
in the flood are beyond the reach of
human aid and human sympathy. Yet
there are thousands of survivors whom
we can help. Some Of them may have
been millionaires few days ago; bu
they are all beggars now, and are sur
rounded bya scene of devastation which
has never before been witnessed on
this continent. There are those who
are nearer to them than we are who are
able to aid, but that does not relieve us
of the duty of at least making proffer
Of help. Therefore we suggest that at
its regular meeting this morning the
chamber Of commerce take such action
as it may deem necessary to raise fund
for the relief of the JohnStOWn sufferers.

son, on the 26th ult. He was known and
esteemed very widely in this state and
Wisconsin, having repeatedly served
in the legislatures of both. He
was born in New York city in
1886, but became a resident of
Milwaukee three years later. residing
there until 1866. when he removed to
Hutchinson, this state, and has since
lived there. He was elected to the state
senate three times between 1871 and
1881, and in 1877 was chosen to the
house. He was one of the most efficient
and popular members, and it is said that
few of his associates had so many per-
sonal friends. or succeeded SO we'll in
carrying measures through. His mag
netic manner and kindness :of heart
attached even his political opponents to
him, and all had the utmost confidence
IN his integrity and adherence to his
convictions. Mcleod county and the
state have sustained severe loss in his
death.

BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
Partial Enumeration of the Most
Prominent Losses.

JoHNsTowN, June 2.-Only meagre
details of the buildings that were swept

three-story frame.
Every building on Main almost is a
total wreck. including many splendid
mansions. Walnut street, probably the
prettiest street here, having splendid
Shade trees its whole length, is DESC
late waste of swamp land. Franklin
street, on which stood the pOStOffice,
Lutheran church. magnificent Metho-
dist church and many other fine
buildings, has nothing to show that it
ever was street excepting the bare
walls of the Methodist church.
Alexander Adalr lost sixteen
houses, ten in the Fifth ward.
They were worth $50, 200. Mr.. Adair,
with the assistance of Sheriff Steine-
man. passed 5000 people over pontoon
bridge they had constructed. He
helped over many prominent people,
including Judge Potts and Mr.. Nc
COnaughy. Ten fine residences on LO-
Gust street, in the rear of the Cambria
company's works, belonging to that
company, were destroyed. Stephen
Collins. of the PiltSburg postoffice, and
several other members Of the junior o.
U. A. NJ. were here to-day to establish
relief fund. They have notified the
committees that the members of this
strong organization are ready to do
their best for the sufferers.

Ladies who are wise never touch the

Green and gray are decidedly the

Gentlemen who ride horseback wear

There is more elegance in simplicity

Simplicity should be the distinguish

There is summer airiness about lace
hats that is decidedly in their favor.
1t is no longer considered part of a

There are many imitators of the mar

A ruching of fringed-out silk is the

THRILLING EXPERIENCES.
Several Persons Save Themselves
by Jumping From Top to Top on
Buildings

JoHNsTowN, Pa. June 2.-Miss Full
ton, daughter of Manager John Fulton,
of the Cambria Iron works, together
with five or six others, had thrilling
experience. They were at the First
National bank building and were
driven to the roof. At last the
building moved and the ladies
leaped to another roof. This was
moving down stream and they leaped
to another and then to another. Avoid
ing all danger with the rarest good
Judgment and coolness, they travelled
almost the entire length of Main street
OH top of roofs and finally landed safely
at Vine street. At Charles thinner
mans livery stable, twenty-eight horses
were drowned. One animal was in har-
ness and in shafts. A building struck
the stable and the horse was fastened
between two walls. To-day he was
found still standing upright as he died,

EDITOR SHEPARD, who stands out in
the moral nigritude of the New York
press as the conspicuous religious light,
has been discussing the question 'Can
an editor be ChriStian?" His conclu-
sion is that in the weekly press the af-
firmative of the interrogatory has the
easier and more numerous response,
and yet in nearly every daily paper
there are one or more on the editorial
staff who are religiousiy good, and who
serve as the quiet leaven. Without fol-
lowing any analysis of this sort, it may
be insisted that the press does its full
share of the practical work of Christian
izing the world, with little care for
dogmas or parade of its virtue.
