BILE, 1t Is the intention to gradually in
duCe the citizens to take hold and as
soon as possible the entire Commlssary
department will be turned over to tho
citizens. Colonel Spangler to-day said:
TnE NUMBER TO CARE FOR.
II have figured on feeding the suffer,
ers in this section, five days ratiOuS for
10000 people, The number we will
have to take care OF will cost SIs,625, or
about $1,000 per day. That is, it would
cost that much had we TO pay for the
provisions. In about fifteen days, when
the Cambria Iron Works get started, We
will be relieved OF about one'third the
number. In this calculation / am not
figuring on the labOrers, but only the
actual needy ones. OF course as fast rs
business commences and our stores
open the number will be reduced. The
Cambria Iron Company will have their
company stores ready in a few days,
which will relieve us somewhat.
General Hastings was seen to-day and
said: II will issue no proclamation un-
til tomorrow when take hold. Every
thing will be done in thorough man.
ner. ! will start in tomorrow morning
with about 200 men and will gradually
get more till have all | need. There
will be no perceptible change in the
work. The men l have already EN-
ployed will 80 to work in the morning.
Our first work will be to clear the chan
mel OF all the streams and get clear
flow OF water. wish it understood we
want no idle or curious people here. We
want no sight seers, and In fact want no
one in the town who has not some bust.
ness here, nor will they be permitted to
remain. We propose to have everybody
who is here work. 1t is no time for
play or PLEASURE,
General Wylie said "This is an unu-
sual undertaking and people who have
not been here have no idea OF its mag.
nitude. II the weather is good it will
take sixty days 1000 men TO get out OF
this chaos, aud il the weather is bad 1t
will take ninety days at least"
BODIES RECOVERED.
But two bodies have been received at
tho Fourth ward morgue up to noon TO-
day, and is quite likely that after to-day
no bodies will be taken to any OF the
morgues on account of the bad state in
which the bodies now are. There is
now but little attempt at identification.
The bodies are so badly decomposed that
even after they have been covered with
thelworkmen cannot stand
the stencil longer than to allow them to
cut off the pockets, and In this manner
try to find some means OF Identification.
Yesterday Rev. DR.. David Beale and
nine other citizens OF Johnstown iden.
titled as they supposed the body OF
young Mr.. Austin, prominent business
man. They had Just nailed up the box
the remains and were start
ing it 10 the cemetery when they were
by Mr.. Austin, who had been
carried away down the river. Thisonly
serves to show how difficult identillCa-
ton has become and why it is probable
that within a day or two the morgues
will be entirely done away with.
