JoHNsTowN, June 7-Another days work
upon the ruins Of Johnstn,gu has shown the
almost hopelessness Of the task OF making the
site Of the town safe for the present and hab-
table for the future. Seven thousand men
with 500 teams and all the other appliances
that could be used for clearing away the
ruins have made hardly perceptible progress
in bettering the condition Of the town. The
sixty acre gorge above the bridge, supposed
to contain yet hundreds Of bodies or frag-
ments Of bodies withstands stubbornly every
effort TO remove it Three days work, with
the aid Of dynamite and the most powerful
lift ng and pulling appliances, has not cleared
a space 100 feet square. The committee in
charge Of the financial part Of the work is in
despair at the enormous extent Of the task
before it, and has issued an appeal to the
Official authorities and the financial organi-
zations Of the country to designate a commits
sion TO take charge Of tho work.

alive. The condition Of the ruins, filed with
dead bodies, menaces a still more serious
situation, which is being delayed, providen-
italy, by the continued cool weather. Danger
hangs over the unhappy town from an
other source. The presence OF nearly
10000 laboring men, half Of them gath
cred at random from the idle classes in
other parts of the country, and divided
by race and other prejudices, threatens
to lead to rioting and disorder beyond the
power of the military now on hand TO quell
Liquor has been introduced among these
men surrepttiously, and trouble is feared.
Very strict regulations are enforced. The
whole city is surrounded by a guard Of
soldiers, and more troops are under orders in
Pittsl lurg, ready to come here at once if
needed. An effort is being mnde to cut off
as far as possible the means Of entrance to
the city, so as TO keep away the crowds.
The number Of passenger trains has beon re-
duced to the lowest possible number and no
tickets to Johnstown are sold except upon a
permit from the relief committee at Pitts
burg.
Supplies Rapidly Arriving.
Supplies Of every sort continue to pour In
from all parts Of the country, and the i'm
medinte necessities Of the people are literally
provided for.
The best estimate of the death list continues
TO place the total at from 5000 to 5000 As
nearly as can be ascertained from $500 to
1000 bodies havo already been recovered.
The attempt to prepare an official list Of the
dead has been abandoned. The number Of
bodies found today was not so large as yes
terday, but there is no sign that the end Is
anywhere near.
Only $4,000 Have Registered.
The proportion Of the living registered
since the flood as against the previous mum
Der Of inhabitants is even less than was re-
ported yesterday. 1t is now ascertained that
many Of the names on the list were entered
more than once and that the total number Of
persons registered is not more than Ia, 900 out
Of former population Of between 40 900 and
| 600
The lack Of identification Of hundreds Of
bodies strengthens the inference that the pro
! portion of the dead to the living is appalling.
It is argued that the friends who might iden-
tify these unclaimed bodies are themselves
all gone.
"Where Are the Inhabitants ?"
| Another significant fact is that 80 large a
number of these whom enc meets in the
streets or where the streets used TO be are
non-residents, strangers who have come here
| out of humane or less crcditable motives The
| question that is heard very often Is, "Where
are the inhabitantsn The town does not APP
pear to have at present population Of more
than 10000.
1t is believed that many Of the bodies Of
the dead have been borne down into the
Ohio, and perhaps into the Mississippi as
well, and hence may finally be deposited by
the waters hundreds of miles apart, perhap.

a CoIOred School Teacher Fined
There is public school at Cayot's
Corner in the Second Election District,
Cecil county, for white children of
which Miss johnson is the teacher,
while a school for colored children is
near enough to be seen from the other.
W. r. Orfitt, a young cOlored man, is
teacher of the colored school. A few
days ago Orf1itt who claims that the
white children threw stones at his
pupils went to the white school while
in session and talked in a threat
ening manner to the teacher and
pupils. Some of the latter, it is said,
were alarmed by his talk and went
home crying. The trustees of the white
school consulted with States Attorney

advice a warrant was issued for the
arrest of Orflitt. 1t was served by
