BEAVER NOTIN YOUNGSTOWN.

JoHNsTowN, June $50 far as l
know" said Adjutant General Hastings
this morning, Governor Beaver is not to
visit the scene Of disaster at ALL / know
there were rumors that he would be here
this morning but in my opinion they were
entertained unfounded. / would have re-
ceived official notification of his arrival, |
think, and as yet no such notification has
been received by me. The truth probably
Is that Governor Beaver has visited some
of the other food stricken points Of Penn
sylvania and the report got current that
he was going to Johnstown. 1t must be
remembered that the floods have done
damage at other portions Of the state and
the food sufferers are not all in the Cone
maugh valley. 1t is likely Governor Bea-
yer is On visit-if at ALTO some other
portion of the state, although for aught l
know he may yet be at Harrisburg"
What is the situation this mornings"
every good SO far as reported. Bodies
are being carefully recovered all the time
but of course not in the large numbers of
the first few days. Last night we arrested
several ghoulS that were wandering amid
tie wreck on evil intent during the dark
ness and they were promptly taken to the
guard house. This morning they were
gwen the choice Of imprisonment or going
TO work at 81 day, and they promptly
chose the latter. We are getting along
very well In our work and very little tend
ency TO lawlessness am happy to state"
The waits mission is doing noble work
in Johnstown. Miss H. w. Vinckley and
her Assistant Miss Cornelia Hayes, are
the heroines of the hour. Within an hour
after their arrival upon the scene of hor-
rors they had established bureau and
were receiving the children and wee babes
that had been orphaned by the cruel flood

Ohio stood ready 10 respond promptly 60
the call.
At the commiSsary station at the Penn
sylvania railroad depot this morning there
was considerable activity. 4 crowd OF
about 1000 people had gathered about the
place after their day 5 ratIons. The crowd
became so great that the soldiers had TO
be called up to guard the place until the
relief committee WAS ready to give out the
provisions.
Several car loads OF clothing arrived
this morning and was TO be disposed of as

hour before the SKY was intensely black In
that quarter.
The first notice Of its approach was the
roaring Of the wind, which we could hear
for fully ten minutes before it reached US in its
fury. The force Of the wind was terrific
while 1t lasted, which, fortunately, was not
more than about twenty-five uanutes. Huge
trees were snapped of or torn up by the
roots and carried bodily to some distance.
The thunder and lightning lasted the whole
evening; indeed, their seemed to be . success

GRACE CHURCH
Gods house Is open thro' the day,
Where the weary may abide;
Come and rest awhile inside,
Come, and to thy Saviour pray.
Here res. footsore and weary,
Thro' the days of cold and rain,
Here es5e q little pain;
But the nights come long and dreA-y.
Then no shelter have the poor
From the cold and cruel wind,
Hero no refuge can we find
Closed the cato and barred the door.
We must wander thro' the street.
With 10 place TO layour head,
Hundreds for the want Of bread,
Dying eyerywhereyou meet
Oil It's hard In this large city,
Where tho shepherds of the fold
Hungry, dying sheep behold
And they give no help or pity.
DYE pastor5i rich and great
Let my lonely voice be heard,
30 your hearts with pity stirred,
Help Us ere It Is too late
With no hands stretched out to save ra
From the depths of poverty,
We, TO end our misery,
End the lives orr maker gave us.
