HOT AFTER THE HUNS.
Their Inhuman Propensisies Turns
Everybody Against Them,


Everybody Against Them.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 8, $40 P. MA
small frigid cold wave has struck the town
and the people are badly in need of
clothing. The newspaper men are among
the sufferers. 1t is almost an impossibility
to get anything to eat. There is nothing
to smoke and only water to drink. The
citizens committee are making des-
perate efforts to preserve the peace,
and the Hungarians at Cambria City
are being kept in their houses by
mon with clubs who will not permit the
Hungarlans to go outside There seems
considerable race prejudice at Cambria
City, and trouble may follow, as both the
English and Hungarians are getting worked
up to considerable extent. Outside an
exciting event took place in the borough of
Johnstown last night. A Hungarian was
detected in the act of blowing up the vault
in the First National bank with dynamite.
A cry was raised and in a few min
utes a crowd had collected, and
the cry of lynch him" was raised,
and in less time than it takes to tell the
man was strung up on tree that was once
in the central portion of Johnstown. Not
satisfied with this, the vigilance committe
riddled the mans body with bullets. He
remained hanging TO the tree for several
hours. when some person cut him down and
buried him with the other dead.
TO WEAK TO TELL HIS NAME.
While searchers in the ruins were going
through house this morning a man was
found in the third story They pulled him
out, but he was too weak to give his name,
and no one has identified him as yet.
The force of the food can be estimated by
the fact that it carried three cars mile
and half and the tender of an engine,
weighing twelve tons, was carried fourteen
miles down the river. A team of horses
which were standing on Main street just be-
fore the food were found q mile and
quarter below the town yesterday.
1t is now definitely settled that about four
lives were lost on the train that left
Pittsburg on the morning Of FRI
day last. Conductor Bell, who
had charge of the train stated to-day
that in his opinion only four passengers
were lost. Said he: "We were between
Conemaugh and Johnstown when the en-
gineer saw the food coming. They gave
us the word and ran through the train and
told the passengers to run to the mountains
for their lives, but majority of them
thought it was only wave and remained
in the cars, while the trainmen ran to the
mountains. When the food came it washed
away the car next to the smoking car and
left the others remaining. The people in
the Pullman car were ducked but none of
them were otherwise injured. Tie three or
four passengers who were lost were men,
but do not know their namas.n
Fifty men are digging graves on Pros
pect Hill, and bodies ere being inferred as
fast as possible.

ton From the Corpses.
PITTsBURG, June 3.-The Masonic fra
ternity met this morning and received re-
ports from the committee sent to Johns
town. The chief point was the terrible
sanitary condition. A committee was ap-
pointed to ask the United States
government TO take action at once.
This committee telegraphsd President
Harrison, asking him to send out
sanitary commission Immediately, and
warning him that unless prompt action
was taken to remove dead bodies and
animals from any stream in which the
Conemaugh empties the water would be
polluted AMI carry plague germs TO the
people. This would affect the country from
Pittsburg to New Orleans Like messages
we're sent to the Pennsylvania senator's.
PRESIDENT HARRISON NOTIFIED.
WASHINGTON, June 3-The masonic re-
lief committee which went from Pittsburg
TO Johnstown, telegraphed President Har-
ment of q national commission to take
charge of the sanitary affairs at the scene
Of the disaster. 1t was urged that the
presence OF so many decaying corpses would
breed psstilence there besides poluting the
water OF the streams. affecting all the ooun-
try between Pittsburg and New Orleans.
President Harrison conferred with
Gen. Schotield, who was present
at the white house when
tho message was received, and shortly
Surgeon General Hamilton was summoned
to take part in the conference. The fact
was developed that the national sanitary
corps, il such it may bo called, is composed
Of physicians located at various points.
DR.. Atkinson of Pittsburg is one Of them.
After full discussion Of the situation, an
answer was returned to the Masonic COM
mittee that the officers of the national gov
ernment could not interfere in the matter,
but that DIR. Atkinson would confer
with and assist the Pennsylvania state
board Of health in any measures it might
institute in aid Of the public health and
comfort, and that Surgeon General Hamil-
ton would be ready to give advice or assis-
tance, so that whatever was undertaken
might be carried forward by official
sanction and authority. Instructions in
accordance with this decision were at once
sent to DIR. Atkinson by Surgeon General
Hamilton. Later in the day the receipt Of
the Presidents telegram was acknowledged
by the Masonic committee. with thanks,
and their satisfaction with its terms ex-
pressed. The President received a dispatch
from Gov. Beaver similar in terms to tho
one given elsewhere from Gov. Beaver to
Supt. Gill at Philadelphia.

FURY OF THE PEOPLE.
A Milkman Who Overcharged Driven
from the Town.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 8, 10 0P. MA
milkman who was overcharging for milk
this morning narrowly escaped lynching.
An infuriated man appropriated all his
milk and distributed it among the poor and
then drove him out of town.
Tho body of Hungarian who was lyncbed
in an orchard last night was removed by
his friends during the night. The inhuman
monster had cut of four fingers of the right
hand Of the corpse OF a woman He was
noticed before he escaped AID dropped the
fingers into his pocket, where they were found
when he was captured. The act maddened
the men, and they took him TO an orchard
on the hillside and hanged him About l55
houses are standing where once there stood
1000. None Of the large buildings in
what was once a thriving little borough
escaped. One thousand people is low esti-
mate of the number Of lives lost from this
town. But few of the bodies have been
recovered. 1t is directly above the ruins,
and the bodies have aoated down into them
where they burned.
A DEsoLATE SIGHT.
Awalk through the town revealed a DESC
late sight. Only ABOUT twenty-five able
bodied men have survived and are able to
render any assistance. A man is now in a
temporary Jail in what is left of Johns
town. He was caught stealing a gold
watch A shot was fired at him, but he
was not wounded. The only thing that
saved him from lynching was the smallness
of the crowd. His sentence will be the
heaviest that can be given him.
The services in the chapel from which
bodies were buried consisted merely of
prayer by one Of the survivors No minis
ter was present. Each coffin had descrip-
tive card on it, and on the graves similar
card was placed, so that the bodies can be
removed later by friends.
AN ALLEGED MIRACLE.
A miracle, as it is called, that happened
at the church of the Immaculate Concep-
tion, has caused tremendous sensation. A
large number Of persons win testify as to the
nature Of the event, and, to put it mildly,
the circumstances are really remarkable.

One LANGUAGE AND ONE SPEECH
This is the only great country which
has but one language. In England,
the Yorkshire-men cannot talk with
the man from Cornwall. The peas
ant of the Ligurian Apennines drives
his goats home at evening over hills
that look down on six provinces,
neither of whose dialects he can speak
or comprehend. European railways
take the traveller where he hears a
score of unlike dialects in single
day. But, from the forests of Maine
to the cotton fields of the Gulf, and
the gold mines of the far Pacific
coast, while there are a hundred races
there is only one language. TO Noel
Webster, more than to any or all other
causes, this nation owes its unity of
language.
