RESCUED ALIVE.
Mrs. Fredericks, an aged woman, was
rescued alive from the attic OF her house..
Yesterday afternoon. The house had
floated from Lime street to the foot of the
mountains. Mrs. Fredericks says her
experience was terrible. Hundreds OF
men, women and children we're floating
down the torrent to meet death, some
praying while others were raving.
| BRAVERY OF WOMEN.
The sad story is not without its deeds
of heroism. Appalling scenes OF horror
developed daring courage where least
expected, while everyday heroes, in the
midst of terrifying scenes, usually degen-
crate into arrant towards. Those who
viewed the frightful scenes of fire and
food, agree that the hopelessness of the
situation was first realized by the women,
and that by the tender sex was exhibited
that dauntless courage born Of resigna-
ton. Mothers calmly sacrificed them
selves to the fury Of the food or fire to
save the lives OF their children and loved
ones. Not infrequently a pale-faced
woman, ciinging with child to floating
debris, realizing that the supsort was too
frail for two, would be seen to lift the
precious freight high upon the floating
debris, and with hasty kiss sink beneath
the waves.
GALLANT REsCUER.
Edward G. Will, young fou ndryman
of Cambria, 27 years old, whom no one
ever suspected of possessing more than
ordinary courage, when the flood was at
its height, and people were floating down
the rushing torrent in hundreds, rushed
to boat, and deaf to the pleadings of
his wife and relatives, showed the frail
craft far out into the angry current,
gliding rapidly alongside of a floating
roof, upon which a woman and two
: children were kneeling with blanched
faces, skillfully evading the obstructions
: that every minute threatened to crush
the cockleshell craft, and lifting the ter
rorized creatures into the boat, he shot
across the current back to the bank
whence he came. A shout of applause
swelled from the throng that lined the
bank, but unmoved by plaudits, the
young man repeated the perilous jour-
neys, not once, but seven times, until
twenty-five lives had been saved. This
was but one instance in many.
THREE TRAINS CAUGHT IN THE FLOOD.
1t is now definitely settled that at least
twenty to forty cars were on the two sec
tions of the day express that left Pitts
burg Friday morning, and the Johnstown
accommodation about to leave that after
noon. There have been numerous con-
flicting reports about how many trains
we're caught in the flood, but from the
most reliable sources it has been ascer-
tanned that three trains were caught by
the water. A passenger on the train
says he can count up at least twenty
whom he saw drown,
STILL MORE OF THE DEAD.
Three hundred more bodies have just
been found opposite Nineveh. This
makes seven hundred found at that point,
and General Hastings this morning stated

stories published in certain newspapers
to the effect that there had been whole
sale lynching and rioting here since
Sunday.
W. H. SMITHS STORY CONTINUED.
JOHNSTON, Pa, June fl notice that
the Secretary of the South Fork Fishing
Club said yesterday that the club had
not filed an indemnity bond, as claimed
by citizen of Ebensburg; and that COM
plant had never been made about the
safety Of the dam by any of the Johns
town citizens. He is undoubtedly correct
as to the bond, but is misleading as to
the second part of his statement. There
is no shadow of doubt but that the citi-
zens of Cambria county frequently COM
planned, and at the time the dam was
constructed very vigorous effort was
made to put stop to the work. 1t is
true that the leader in this movement
wac not citizen of Johnstown, but he
was, and is, large mine owner in Cam.
bria county. His mine adjoins the reser-
voir property.

He related to me on Saturday the story
of his labors in the effort to protect the
lives and property of the people in that
