Mr.. James d. Scott said this afternoon: 'SThe
work will continue as il has until Wednesday
morning when everything will be handed over
TO the state. The chiefs of all departments are
now making out reports, which viii be given
TO the commissioners appointed by the state.
The work Of relief will likely be continued BY
the state on the same plen as heretofore. We
are obtaining some sort of system and have
finally brought some kind OF order out OF
chaos. The work of relief will have to con-
time until the people can take hold for them
selves. When the Cambria iron works and
other mills resume the people will be able TO
earn money. The great aim just at present is to
give the survivors work The state is 20 open
a commissary department where goods viii be
sold until the merchants will be able to again
get on their feet. Until that time has come
the people will have 10 be taken care of.
I'VE are building store houses along the b.
& o. road, where supplies will be stored until
it is necessary to use them. 1t has been the
practice to deliver them almost directly from
the cars. This evil will soon be remedied. Sup-
plies still in demand"
There is no friction between the civil and
military authorities. Chief Scott will remain
in charge under Gen. Hastings the commits
sioner appointed by Gov. Beaver.
