WHAT MISS BARTON SAW.
Her Account of the Red Cross Work at
JOhnstOwn.

Mr.. A. S. Solomons, vice-president of The
Nationol Red Cross association, has received a
letter from Miss Clara Barton, who went to
Johnstown with the Red Cross party from this
city in which she says, under date of June 6:
g The Philadelphia Red Cross followed us in
two hours. They have a splendid corps of
physicians and helpers, and together we are
establishing our headquarters and hospitals
The accounts which You read are probably
not overrated; indeed, do not know how they
could be. Destruction and death are every
where. The piles IF rubbish are full of human
bodies. Yesterday three were taken out still
alive. Supplies are arriving in goodly quantity
and being distributed by the various commit
tees in such manner you would expect. 1t has
rained almost necessarily until to-day; water
and mud and broken buildings and dead ami
mails are everywhere
Under date of June Miss Barton wrote:
I'VE are fairly at systematic work. Ran our
cars into the stationary track and pitched our
tents to-day, fine camp and splendid work.
We have put up two isolated hospital tents to-
day for disease that might prove contagious
We have force of nearly fifty. and it Is diff
cult to find one with a moment of leisure. All
the various committees and the military all-
| thorities are III perfect accord with us. and
| tender ever facility and aid. The way is now
getting open for nail and kilograms and as the

will be needed. especially as the families try
once more to do for themselves Groceries
and provisions are most welcome and house
hold articles are all gone, and the people seem
too dazed to realize their loss either of prop
erty or friends-they will wake up to this

DAMAGE in INDIANA,
Crops and Property Greatly Injured by
the Recent Rains.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 10.-Advices from all
parts Of the state indicate great damage from
the rains of the past week, both to growing
crops and to property situated along the water
courses. The river here is out of its banks and
has done great damage to fencing all along its
course. Fields of corn, wheat and oats have
been entirely washed out, and others have
been greatly damaged along the Sangamon
river. In White and other counties the
bottoms are all covered with water, and hun
dreds of acres of growing crops are submerged
Many families have fed to the highlands for
safety. Clay county has suffered greatly, many
of the farm houses being partly under water.
Several of the mines are flooded, and a section
of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad is
washed out gentleman who returned yes
terday from the Ohio river reports that the
stream is very high and is rising rapidly, and
that a large amount Of wreckage from Johns
town is being brought down. He counted sew
eral dead animals and saw parts Of houses that
must have belonged to the unfortunate city.

THE DAM BROKE ONCE BEFORE.
MIR. j. %. kerby Recalls an Experience
at Conemaugh Years Ago.

Mr.. J. o. kerby. well known as a newspaper
correspondent in this city. spent much Of his
life on farm which adjoins the burst dam in
the Conemaugh valley. This farm belongs 70
Mr.. kerby's father, who for thirty-fye years
has been agent there of the Pennsylvania rail-
road company. The dam" said Mr.. Kerby to
STAR reporter, was originally built by the
state. The water retained by the dam was not
reservoir IN the ordinary sense. but capa-
cious lake. The dam was built across the val
ley, and was S3 feet high. This produced
lake that stretched several miles back. and was
fed by several mountain streams. The state
built the dam TO supply the canal with water in
dry weather. 1t was supposed to supply the
canal with water for a distance of 50 miles
which VIII give some idea of the capacity Of
this great artificial lake. When the state sold
the canal 10 the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany the reservoir was also sold. and finally
came into the possession of the fishing club.
The dam Is miles above Georgetown and sew
eral hundred feet higher than the city.
The dam broke once before" said Mr..
herby. 1t was about the time of the war, but
cannot fix the date exactly. The damage
then however, was not great. as the break Was
gradual The water rushed down through
Johnstown. and ITS most CHASTITY effect was
washing out the cemeteries, bringing the
bodies to the surface. The fishing club re-
built the dam. but did not do as good work on
1t ~ the state did The lake is near the top of
the mountain. ITS waters dow down the Cone
maLgh through the Allegheny, Ohio and Mis-
slsslppl rivers 10 the gulf of Mexico Within a
gunshot of the lake streams take their start
that flow eastward through the Susquehanna
into the Atlantic. The lake is on the divide
between the two great valleys. Half a million
people between the lake and the Ohio river
derive their water supply from the Cone
maugh and the streams with which Its waters
mInge. 1 do not understand" said Mr.. kerby,
where room Is found TO bury the victims of
this catastrophe. The cemetery at Johnstown
on the fiat ground was crowded. Johnstown is
tous walls. The cemeteries have been flooded
and washed out by floods. Mrs. Morell the
wife of ex-Congressman Morell, was SO pros
trated by the CHASTITY effects of a food that
washed out the graves Ia flood there that she
died"
