THE AWFUL HORROR ON THE
OONEMAUGH.

Possibly in the history of the world
there was never a ghastlier horror than
that at Jo%hnstown, Pa. The human
mind reels and staggers in its attempt
to appreciate the great calamity, and in
a search for comparisons the only re-
course is the legendary cataclysm of
Atlantis. The destruction of eight
thousand people in a day by flood
and fire is a remarkable occurrence,
not only by reason of the numbers in
volved in the destruction, but on &C.
count of the extraordinary circum-
stances aud causes incident to such a
catastrophe.
Johnslown. Pa, was a city of about
$4,000 inhabitants, lying in the midst
OF the beautiful valley of the Cone
maugh. The little mountain stream
passed almost directly through it, and
a bridge served as a passage across the
river for the Pennsylvania Central rail-
road. A few miles distant, in the
mountains, was Conemaugh lake,
which bad been created many years
ago as a feeding reservoir for the Penn
sylvania canal. When the canal was
abandoned the dam became useless
and neglected, rntll a number of
wealthy gentlemen of Plttsburg organ
lied a corporation called the South
Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. The
dam was simply a gigantic heap OF
earth dumped across the course OF a
mountain stream between two low
Mills. 1t was faced on each side with
a layer of heavy, rough stones, loosely
thrown together and uncemented.
Five huge pipes, each as large around
as a hOgshead, were designed to carry
of all surplus water that could ever be
poured into the lake, and which could
not escape by the regular exit, which
was a sluiceway around one corner of
the dam, at a level of ten feet below
the top. Complaint had frequently
been made by citizens of Cambria
county that the sportsmen's lake and
dam were q constant menace to the
lives of all the Inhabitants of the valley,
but the authorities were deaf to these
warnings, and no official action was
ever taken looking 10 better security
from threatened danger. Finally the
people themselves becsnst Indifferent
TO it, for many times couriers had come
down from the lake with warnings
that the dam was on the point of
bursting, and on each occasion the dan
