TRAINS CAUGHT IN THE FLOODS

At Least Three EnguIfed ii the Torrents o
Water-Many Lives Thus Lost.
New York, June 4.-General Lew Wal
lace isvery anxious concerning the safety
his vile. That lady left Indianapolis
Thursday. Since that time he has no,
heard from her. He autographed many
points without avail. This morning be
learned that the train which bore his wife
might have been caught somewhere in the
flood.
JoHNsr0wN, Pa, June Alt is o def
nitely settled that at least twenty to forty
were lost on the two sections OF the day ex-
press that left P~ittsburg, Friday morning,
and on the Johnstown accommodation
about to leave YOUNGSTOWN that after
noon.
There v been numerous conflicting re-
ports about how many trains were caught
in the flood, but from the most reliable
sources it has been ascertained that only
these three trains were caught by water. A
passenger on one train says he can count
up at least twenty whom he saw drown.
GENERAL MANAGER SMITHS STATEMENT.
JoHNsTowN, June 1.-The number of pas
sengers on the day express known to have
been lost is six. Besides these there are
two ladies missing and unaccounted for,
but who may yet be alive.
A conductor who was at Conemaugh on
the fateful day claims to have run through
the cars and told the passengers to run to
the mountains. The passengers who sur
vIved are anxious to make the a~cuuaint-
ance OF that conductor. They certainly,
neither saw him nor heard him. His in
tention may have been good, but the rood
deed wal omitted.
When the passengers reached the noun.
tain side they found there two conductors
in their beautiful white caps. Their man
ner was calm and their clothing unspotted.
l asked n OF them why he did not notify
the passengers OF the breaking of the dam.
He replied in some confusion that he had
time. His companion made q report to
his superior, which report was carried over
the mountain by passengers that night,
there was nothing in it to indicate that
any OF the passengers were any OF his con
Germ. He reported the loss of two trains.

"She was visiting in the valley when the

From the ~liieless finger he slipped a thin
gold ring and in it's place put on his own.
Then he stole quietly out, one Of the thous-

South Fork dam.

JoHNsTowN, June 4.-This was the day
set aside by the citizens committe for bury
ing the unidentified dead that had been ly'
ing in the morgues since Sunday. At 1C
o'clock the men in charge OF the buryine
had been busy all day. There were no pa
thetic scenes at these bhrials. The men
hired to do the work seemed to do it just
as a matter OF business. The bodies are
being inferred in the cemetery nearest the
place where the bodies are found.
About noon a procession OF fifty cofined
bodies was seen going up the hill above the
railroad. Not a mourner was present and
the sight was a CHASTITY one to behold. II
will take several days to bury the bodies
now in the different grave yards, as there
we're but few graves dug until this morning
and no implements to dig them with. A
large detachment OF men arrived from Pitts
burg, this morning, and were put to work
digging graves.
Altogether about 800 bodies were taken
to the different cemeteries this morning.

Woodruff, alias Black, regarding the Gro

regarding the affair.
During the inquest Police Captain

had testified as to the Investigations which
followed the arrest OF Woodruff for horse
stealing, and retold the whole OF Wood
ruff varied stories about the men whom
he claimed were named King and Fair

body in a trunk.
When the captain a asked il he had
had any recent conversation with Wood

day the grand jury was in session on the
case. and we ven together into a private
room at the Jail. Woodruff went on to say
that there were a good
MANY THINGS HE HAD NOT TOLD
about the case. He continued by saying
he was in a saloon, one afternoon, with
King and Fairburn, when a strange man
took King aside. Woodruff said the man
had q big roll OF money, and that he gave
some to King and more to Fairburn. They
went out together and the strange man lett
them at the door.
AFTER he had gone Woodruff said he
asked King who it was, and King said,
THAT is the lawyer, Alex. Sullivan"
Capt. Setback aided, inreply to q jurors

Captain Setback was suspended from
duty, tonight, by Chief Hubbard for
alleged direliction OF duty on the Cronin
