Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-06

One of the most interesting features of the
Conemsugh casualty is given below in the
publication of the names of Johnstown's busi-
ness men and women. The appended list is
absolutely accurate, as its compilation was
completed one week p1or to the great disaster
by a mercantile institution of this country
which is famous for the care taken in the task
of furnishing the business world with an ac-
curate compendium of the business communi-
ties of the country. The list will be of great
service to those who were personally or com
meIcially interested in the mountain city, as
comparison with lists of survivors or dead will
enable the public to judge as to the fate OF
friends or customers, or their escape from the
horrors that engulfedJ ohnstown.
In itself the list contains many points oil IN
terest There were 6lS business establishments
IN the devastated city and its suburbs. MANY
were small, but great number were OF con-
siderable dimensions. giving employment TO
hu1dreds of operatives. OF saloons JohnstoWn
had ner share, in comparison with what the
Brooks law has done hereabouts. There were
no less than 66 saloons in operation.
The Diversified Interests.
There were six regularly incorporated concerns
in the city exclusive of the Cambria Steel
Works and the Gautier branch, having
listed capital of S5l0 600; this being exclusive OF
banks. There were 95 groceries. "a general
stores and over so drygoods houses, all of which
represented large gross sum of capital in
vested. A local expert in the matter of estima-
tiOn gives the opinion that the city of Johns
town represented capital of SIG, 600. What
percentage of this large sum will be total loss
will probably never be known, as in many In
stances the most interested parties were swept
away at an identical time with their posses
sions.
