were found. It is evident tina
many lives were lost on this train
more than at first supposed. The
Who'll, train affair is still mystery
At least the passengers have moi
so fa. been found and located.
This is the morning the eighth
day since the demon of destruc-
ton swept down the valley OF
Conemaugh, but the destruction
that marks its angry fight is still
visible in all its intensity and hor-
ror. TO the watchers on the noun
tain side, all seems chaos and con-
fusion The thousand fires that
dot the valley show that the torch
is being used to complete the work
of humiliation where.repair is i'm
possible. A corps of government
engineers that arrived last night
has already demonstrated the valu-
able assistance which it is capable
of rendering in these times of
emergency. With but few hours
of rest, these men were uprisen
early this morning, and by s.
o'clock a pontoon bridge had been
stretched across the river at Keen
vile. Acting in conjunction with
it are the Pennsylvania military
authorities. They are also pursu-
ing their 1abors at various other
points, and by sun down it is ex-
pected that pontoon bridges will
be erected at all places where the
necessity of traffic demands. 1t is
a fact, probably not generally
known, that the great government
Of the q. S. owns only 500 feet of
pontoon bridges, and these are the
same that were used by the Fed
sral forces in the civil war twenty
i've years ago.
Sorrowful as It NAV seem. dis

Rochester, n. Y, June S.-The t
.rgest artificial body of water in c
he Z. S. is situated 7S2 feet above t
le ocean. 1t is said to be liable +

used to feed the old S

ierely a sportsman's paradise. 1t r
condemned by public sentiment s

ding in Croba, Hinsdale, Clean i
nd Allegheny; in fact, the whole

gainst the maintenance of the h
as it is a constant men n

weep them into chaos, as did the Q
ohnstown reservoir, at any time q
he reservoir is one-third larger +
nan the Conemaugh lake, and +
lere is no reason why it should '
OF be abolished by the state at /
