JouNsrowN, PA, June "a Affairs
here are shaping themselves more sys.

is going on more satisfactorily to-day
than at any time since the disaster. All
the contractors reduced their forces this
morning which enables them TO be
handled and managed with some degree
Of satisfaction. The confusion which has
prevailed in the past seems to have beer
Allayed and more and better work is be-

larger. The workingmen's camp CON
