Philadelnhia,s Rest Inflammation

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-The best infor-
nation that can be obtained to-day at the
Pennsylvania railroad office in this city is
that the route will be patched up to Altoona
within thirty-six hours, thus giving eight
hundred or more of the east and westDound
passengers laid up at this place an oppor-
tunity to get away. 1t is also stated here
that only seven passengers of the Inflated
trains were lost.
On the middle division of the main line
the road is clear from Altoona to Pitts
burg. From Huntington to Managunk
bridge there are several bad breaks. All
but one span of the Managunk bridge have
been swept away. East of that point Mays
bridge is gone and but one span remains on
to Gunville bridge. From Altoona west
ward on the main line, the track is open to
within short distance of South Fork
where the bridge was washed away Fri
day. Between South Fork and Johnstown
l ,00Omen are busy putting the railroad in
shape. At Johnstown and west of there
several large gangs of werkmen are en-
ployed.
1t is not believed that passengers can be
conveyed from Harrisburg to Pittsburg
over the main line inside of a week or ten
days; as to- the transportation of freight
and mails nothing definite can be learned.
No direct intelligence of any sort has been
received from LockhaYeu since o'clock
Friday night. A dispatch then received
stated that the lumber boom had broken
and the town was flooded. The widest
kind of rumors are received in regard to
the situation at that place, but they lack

HARRISBURG, Pa, June3.-Governor Bea-
yer arrived this morning from Annapolis
and has been in communication with Adiu-
tant- General Hastings at Johnstown. He
received call for troops from Sheriff Nc
Candies, at Allegheny county, who tele-
graphs that the situation is such that it is
positively necessary to send at least four or
five regiments of the national guard to pre-
vent piIlage robbery and bloodshed. Ad-
jutant- General Hastings telegraphs:
"Have perfected a good organization.
do not think it necessary to call for troops
Be assured that everything will be done
within possibility to relieve the survivors
and care for the dead"
The governor, although perceiving no ne
cessity for calling out the troops, has Or
dered the Fourteenth regiment to be ready
at moments notice to start to the scene of
disaster.
General Hastings has telegraphed the fol
lowing to the manager Of the telegraph
company IN this city:
''You had better inform Governor Bea-
yer that this mornings reports give the
number of lost at Johnstown at between
twelve and fifteen thousand. The greatest
disorder prevails. The place is infested
with thieves and vandals who are roDbing
the dead and appropriating everything they
can lay their hands on. These people are

Ready to Confer Consulates.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Disp atch. !
WASHINGTON, June Sit may interest
the eight thousand or more applicants
for consulships, to know that for a
week past list of appointments to some
of the best paying Offices in the service,
has been lying upon the Presidents
desk. Thus far it has been Enacted upon,
although on several days of last week it
was expected that something would be done
in the matter. The officials of the state
department, when questioned regarding
the delay, shrug their shoulder significantly
and vouchsafe no reply except to say that
their share of the work has been done and
that the responsibility for the future rests
upon the President. The understanding
is, that the list sent to the President in
cludeS about a score of consulships. Among
these are several in Great Britain and
Canada and number of others on the con-
tinent. The vacancy at Toronto will, it is
said, be filed by New York man whom
Chauncey Depew is pressing for the place.
1t is, however, stated in this connection
that the department will not as rule
appoint to consular offices in Canada the
citizens of states lying directly across the
border. The reason for this is that for
years past the privilege has been greatly
abused. A New Yorker, for example, who
represents this country in Canada finds it

President Harrisou,s Great Interest

WASHINGTON. June 2.-President Harri-
son did not attend church to-day, but spent
his time in communication with the flood
stricken districts with view of granting
them such succor as lay in the power of the
government. General Schofeld, acting
secretary of war, came to the White
House this morning, and he and the
President repaired to the telegraph ROOM
where they were put into communication
with as many points and persons of the
flooded district as possible. The President
offered to extend to the people in distress
any succor which the government could
give. He said the government would sup
ply as many tents and rations, and soldiers
TO assist in the work of reclamation as
possible.
Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, who
was at Annapolis, Md, as a member OF the
board of visitors to the Naval academy, was
communicated with and informed OF the
governments willingness to grant succor
and relief. The governor obtained a special
train and left Annapolis for York, Pa, for
the purpose of placing these offers on the
part of the government before the people
in the flooded districts. The President and
General Schofield remained near the tele-
graph instruments receiving and sending
kilograms until noon. After luncheon
they spent more time in telegraphing, and
at O'Clock the President rode out
to view the distinctions which
the food had wrought. He and Mrs. Har-
sison then went to the telegraph office and
stayed there for some time, the President
extending his sympathies for the afflicted
people. He was determined to learn every
way in which he might be of service to
them.
The government has bought 1000 tents
which it can send to the sufferers. The
government has also under its control sew
eral thousands belonging to the militia
service and these will be loaned if needed
The offer of soldiers was made for the rea-
son that it was thought they might be use
full in clearing away debris, searching for
bodies and guarding property

Robbing the Dead.

GRgENsBURG, Pa, June 2.-The commits
sioners and poor directors of Indiana,
Cambria and Westmoreland counties will
meet tomorrow at Ninevah to decide upon
plan for the burial of the dead. 1t is
likely that plot of ground will be selected
just across the river in Cambria county,
and the same will be purchased by the
three counties, and one or two long graves
will be made and the unfortunate dead,
as fast as they can be found, will be placed
there. Immediate action will be taken, as
some of the dead have turned black and are
rapidly decomposing.
Wholesale robbery of the victims is re-
ported, and thieves are arriving by the
score. One unfeeling wretch was seen to
rife the pockets of dead man and remove
his gold watch, and then turn to woman
and take from her finger a ring. A
drunken Hungarian with a pick in his
hand was discovered in partly demolished
residence in the act of breaking open Z
trunk An officer dealt him blow with
his club which rendered him unconscious

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. !
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Consul Plumacher
writing from Maracaibo, Venzuela, to a
friend in this city says: eve have had no
rain for fifteen months with the exception
Of two showers. l never have seen such
fearful weather. The cost of living in con-
sequence has greatly increased, in many
cases to four times the original price
Water is so scarce that what my family
needs for drinking purposes costs US 50 cents
a day besides an additional 30 cents for
hauling 1t. There is great suffering among
the poorer classes who are compelled to
drink the brackish water The result is
that the yellow fever, which always pre-
walls in low lands, is for the first time in
the history of the country extending into
the mountains.
I'm TRULY in the Andes it is decimating
the population. In Bettyhookey, which is
800 feet above Maracaibo and which was
always place of refuge with our people
during epedemics, there are now eighty
cases of fever out of population of 500.
The effect of the drought upon the coffee
market is very severe. At this writing
there are 300, 900 bags of coffee up the coun-
try awaiting shipment to this city but not

PiIIaging in .IohnstoMn.

JoHNsrowN, June 1T is impossible to
describe the appearance of Main street.
Whole houses have been swept down this
one street and become lodged. The wreck
age is piled as high as the second story.
The reporter could step from the wreck
into the auditorium of the opera house
The wreck consists of houses, logs, trees,
etc.
The pillaging of houses in Johnstown is
awful to contemplate and describe. It
makes one feel ashamed almost 70 call

Goods of great value were being sold IN
town to-day for drink of whisky. A sup
ply store has been established in the Fourth
ward in Johnstown. a line of men, women

piled. The schoolhouse has been converted
into morgue, and the dead are being

Death and Devastation.

JoHHsTowN, June 3.-Up to this morning
the people living here who lost whole fam
lilies and parts of families hardly seem to
realize what dreadful calamity had be
fallen them. However, this morning PEG
pie are getting to understand the situation
and agony is stamped on the face Of every
one. 1t is truly city of mourning. Ten
bodies were taken out of the debris at 40
this morning. There was nothing to iden-
tify them as they were burned almost to a
crisp. 1t is thought, however, that seven
of them belong to one family, as they wers
all found under the roof of house partly
burned.
The first man from the dam at South
Fork has Just arrived. The dam burst
open in the centre in broad break. A
nameless Paul Revere lies somewhere
among the nameless dead; who he is may
never be known, but his ride will be famous
in local history. Mounted on grand big bay
horse, he came riding down the pike which
passes through Conemaugh 10 JohnstoWn
like some angel of wrath of old, shouting
his protentiOuS warning: Run for your
lives to the hillsr' run to the hillsr5
The people crowded out of their houses
along the thickly settled streets, awestruck
and wondering who he was. Nobody knew:
some thought he was maniac and laughed
On at deadly pace rode this man, still
ringing out his awful cry. In few mo
ments, however, there came cloud of ruin
down the broad streets, down the narrow
alleys, grinding, twisting, hurting, over
turning, crashing, annihilating the weak
and the strong alike. 1t was the charge of
the food, wearing its .coronet of ruin and
devastation which grew at every instant of
its progress. It was forty feet high some
say thirty. According to others twas a
sea and it travelled with a swiftness like
that which lay hidden in the heels of Mer-
curry.
On and on rode the rider, and on and on
rushed the wave. Dozens of people took
heed of the warning and ran up the hills
Poor faithful rider 1t was an UNEQUAL
contest. Just as he turned across the rail
road bridge, the mighty wave fell upon
him, and horse, rider and bridge all
went out into chaos together

Picking up Bodies Everywhere.

JoHNsTowN, June 2.-The streets have
been full of men carrying bodies to various
places where they await Identification
since morning, and the work has only Just
begun. Every hour or so forces of men
working on the various heaps of debris
have found number of bodies buried in
the mud and wreckage. 1t is believed that
when the flames are extinguished in the
wreck at the bridge that hundreds of vic
tins will be discovered. In fact, this seems
as certain as it does that bodies have been
found on the outskirts of houses and
broken timber. Reports from outside
points are also appalling.
Shocking sights have become so common
that they have lost their terrors, and the
fading of body here and there attracts
little or no attention from the great crowds
that constantly line the river banks and
crowd all other accessible places. w. S.
Brown, of Pittsburg, of the American re-
lief corps, to-day notified Captain Kuhn,
city solicitor, that the Pittsburg masons
are ready to aid.

would be ready to give advice or assist
ance, so that whatever was undertaken
might be carried forward by the officers
sanction and authority. Instructions in
accordance with this decision were at once
sent to DR.. Atkinson by Surgeon General
Hamilton.
The following telegram was received
this evening by President Harrison from
Governor Beaver: ''The sheriff of Cam
bria county says he cannot control the sit
uation without the aid of troops. The
people are fairly housed and good order
prevails. The supply of food so far is
equal to the demand, but supplies OF cloth
ing still lacking. Conservative esti-
mates place the loss of life at
from five thousand to ten thousand
The loss to property is from S25, 900, coo to
$50, 000, 600. People are at work heroically
and will have a large force tomorrow

of the world are freely expressed. One
telegram from England gives $4,000. Help
comes from all quarters. 1t universally
and greatly encourages our people. l

anything unusual occurs"
The officials of the war department
learned of the existence of 5000 tents at
Pittsburg, which by order of General
after consulting with the Presi-
dent, are turned over to the local authori-
ties

Sunday in Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, June 3.-The usually quiet
streets of Pittsburg on Sunday were to
day alive with excited people eagerly seek
ing news from the flooded districts around
Johnstown. In front of the newspaper
bulletins the crowds were so dense as to
almost entirely suspend travel. Telegraph
offices were thronged with people trying IN
vain to receive some words from friends or
relatives in the stricken locality In the
early morning seven cars of provisions left
the Union depot for Johnstown on spe-
cial train. Many cars were loaded with
provisions coming from the west, north
and south and are rapidly forwarded to the
scene Of disaster. Coffin manufacturers
here are worked to their fullest capacity
and cOiiius are being shipped rapidly This
morning ten car loads were sent down
containing 200 collins. They will be dis
tributed at points along the river where
the dead had been collected. A benefit by
a theatrical company to be given in aid of
the sufferers was advertised to be given in
one of the theaters here this evening. The
fact coming to the ears of the law and
order society, however, they were given
notice that the performance would not be
permitted. This action is severely censured
by all people.

JoHNsTowN, June S.-The town is under
martial law. Every one who goes about
the place is challenged and required to give
an account of himself. The water has
subsidized to a great extent. The streets in
the town are free from water. The fall of
water has laid bare the terrible work of
the flood, and the full extent of the disaster
is only being ascertained now The streets
are sickening, foulsmelling mass of wood
and debris, and the work of searching for
the bodies has only fairly begun. The
latest estimates put the loss of life at ten
to twelve thousand. 1t is impossible to
get any account of those lost. Every one
is so thoroughly tired out and overcome by
the weight of the disaster as to be unable
to give any accurate details or figures
Comparatively few have been identified.

To Save the Living.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The Masonic re-
lief committee autographed the President
this afternoon urging the appointment of a
national committee TO take charge of sani-
tary affairs at the scene of disaster Itwas
urged that the presence of so
many decaying corpses would breed
pestilence there, besides polluting the
water of the streams, thus affecting all the
country between Pittsburg and New
Orleans. President Harrieon conferred
with General Schofield, and shortly after
Surgeon General Hamilton was summoned
to take part in the conference. The fact
was developed that the national sanitary
congress, if such it may be called,
is composed of physicians located at
various points. DR.. Atkinson would
confer with and assist the Pennsylvania
state board of health in any measures it
might institute for theasublic health and
comfort, and Surgeon General Hamilton

A MOTHERS STORY.
She Tells How She Gave Each of Her
Children to the Flood

children to the Flood.
JoHNsTowN, June 9. - An utterly
wretched woman named Mrs Fem stood
by muddy pool trying to find some trace
Of her once happy home. She was half
crazed with grief and her eyes were
swollen. AS the writer stepped up to her
side she raised her pallid and languid face
and remarked They are all gone. Oh
God, be mereiful to them. My husband
and my seven dear little children have
been swept away down with the flood
We were driven into the garrett
and the water followed US there
1t was death to remain, so l raised the win
dow and one by one placed my darling ones
on the driftwood, trusting to the Great
Creator. AS liberated the last one of my
sweet little boys, he looked at me and said:
Mamma, you always told me that the Lord
would care for me. Will he look after me
now!' l saw him drift away with his low
ing face turned toward me, and with a
prayer on my lips for his deliverance he
passed from my sight forever
1.-The next moment the roof crashed in
and foated outside, to be rescued fifteen
minutes later on the roof of a house near
Morenville. If l could find one OF my
darlings could bow to the viii of God. I
have lost everything in the world but my
life"
A handsome woman wandered through
the depot where the bodies lay, passing
from one to another. She finally lifted the
paper covering from the face of a young
woman with traces of beauty showing
through the stains of muddy water With
acry of anguish she reeled backward to be
caught by man who CHANGED to be pass
ing. In moment or so she had Gained
herself sufficiently to take one more look at
the features of her dead. She stood gazing
at the unfortunate and dead woman who
was sister of the mourner until the body
was placed in coffin few minutes later
and sent the way to its final home.
These are fair samples of the instances
and scenes familiar at every turn in this
CITY

Recovering the Dead.

JoHSSTowS, June 3.-Ten bodies nave
been taken out of the wreck near the Cam
bria library, but they are so bruised that it
is impossible to identify them. It is sup
posed that they were guests at the Hulburt
house, which is completely demolished.
Eight bodies were recovered near the
Methodist church.
Captain Kuhn, of Cambria county, claims
that the entire population which the flood
struck in JohnsLown aud> the surrounding
towns numbered u, 600, which will entail a
loss of about 5000. Mrs J. e. Campbell, of
Allegheny city, and Mrs. W. V. Hughes,
of Pittsburg, have reported at the scene OF
the disaster for the relief of homeless
children.
