The Fugitives From the Flood are Seized
With Pneumonia


The Fugitives From the Flood are Seized
With Pneumonia.
JoHNsTOwN, June 4-Up the ragged sides
of Prospect hill, the same to which several
hundred terrified people fled to escape the
flood last Friday night, your correspon-
dent scrambled this afternoon. He came
upon pneumonia scourge which bids
fair to do for a number Of escaped victims
what the flood could not. Death has pur-
sued them to their highest place and terror
will not die. Every little house on the hill,
and there hundred or two of them, had
thrown its doors open to receive the
bruised and half-clad fugitives on the dark
day Of the deluge, and ever one was now
a crude hospital. Half Of the women who
had scaled the height were so
overcome with fright that they
have been bedridden ever since
There had been pneumonia on the hill, but
only a few isolated cases. To-day, how
ever, several fresh cases developed among
the food fugitives and local physicians
said the prospects for scourge were all
too promising. The enfebled condition Of
patients, unhealthy at mosphere pervading
the valley, and the necessarily close quar-
tiers In which the people are crowded, rem
der the spread Of the disease almost GER
tain. To-day a ray or light came in the
nature of car load of provisions ana
another from Columbus, Ohio, containing
clean mattresses and bedding, all specified
for the : Prospect Hill sufferers.
On this eminence stands Cam
bria City hospital, aud in thi 8 ram
bling cottage it resembles one in the exter-
ior and comforts. Great work is being
done through the combined agencies Of
medical science and brotherly love. The
hospital is in charge Of q corps of Altoona
physicians, which the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company rushed to the scene the
morning after the flood. Several yellow
flags are now noticed sticking up from the
black wreckage above the stone bridge.
This was new plan adopted by the san
itary corps to indicate at what points bod
les had been located. AS sit grows dark
flags are still up, and another day will

Their First Council Held at 1:osebud
With Good Beginning.
ROSEBUD AGENCY, June 4.-The first
council with the Indians was held yester-
day afternoon. All the prominent Indians
of this agency were present, as we'll as
delegations from all other Sioux agencies,
including Santee and Flandreau. Colonel
Spencer, Indian agent, introduced the
commissioners in few well chosen words.
Governor Foster, chairman of the CON-
mission, then explained in speech of con-
siderable length, the provisions and scope
of the act of congress. He called attention
to the size ut the present reservation as
being out of all proportions to the needs
of the Indians, and stated that it was not
the policy of the government to allow land
to be held for such reservation when
needed for settlement. That q
strip Of land, 400 miles long,
and 200 wide. along the Missouri river was
barrier between east and west Dakota.
That it could no longer exist. He said
while the government did not propose to
take their land except with their full con-
sent, and would pay literally for it,that the
commissioners hoped to be able to convince
them that it was for the interest Of the
Indians to sell their land and that by so
doing they would not only enter upon their
new departure under more favorable con-
dition than any new people ever did be-
fore, but would also nave advantage of
the white settlers in their vicinity, whose
example would aid them in their progress
for self maintenance. At the request of
the Indians the whole act was then read.
Close attention was given by the Indians
to the reading Of the bill as evidence of
deep interest felt by all. The discussion
will be long and every point will require
careful explanation before the Indians
will be willing to talk themselves.

dawn upon the imprisoned remains.
People who had lost friends and supposed
they had drifted into this fatal place, peered
down into the charred mass in vain en-
deav0r to recognize the beloved features.
Markham, the iron manufacturer, is
MAYOR PRO TEN
of fJohnstown to-day. He is probably the
busiest man in the United States. Although
for days without sleep, he still sticks
nobly to his task. Hundreds of others are
like him, and men fall to the earth from
sheer fatigue. There are many who have
not closed an eye in sleep since they
awoke Friday morning. They are a
hollow eyed, pitifll looking lot. Many
have lost near relatives and all their
friends.
AT THE A1ORGUEs.
Six improvised morgues are in Johns
town and in these the bodies are held until
decomposition renders it unsafe to keep
them longer. These temporary places for
the dead are in churches and school
houses, the largest one being the Fourth
ward school house, where planks have
been laid over the tops of desks and on
them the remains have been placed. When
q corpse is dug from the bank it is covered
with mud. It is taken to the ante room of
the school, where it is placed under hy-
drant and the muck and slime washed off.
With knife the clothes are ripped open
and the attendants search the pockets for
valuables, or papers that would lead
to Identification. Four men lift
the corpse on a rude table and there it
is thoroughly washed and the embalming
fluid injected into the arm. Then, with
other grim bodies the corpse lies in larger
room until identified or becomes offensive.
In the latter case it is hurried to large
grave that will hereafter have monu-
ment over it bearing the legend: Gun
known dead.' The number of the latter
is growing hourly, because pestilence
stalks in Johnstown and the bloated. dis
figured masses of flesh cannotbe hel d much
longer. Bodies of stalwart workmen lie
beside the remains of dainty
ladies, many of whom are
still decked with costly ear rings and
Jewels on their fingers. Rich and poor
throng these quarters and gaze with awe
struck faces at the masses of mutilations
in the hope of recognizing missing one
so as to accord the body burial. No
hearses are seen in Johnstown. Relatives
recognize their dead. secure coffins. get
them carried the best way they can to the
morgues, then to the grave yards. Prayer,
some tears and few more of the dead
thousands are buried in mother earth.
AT LOCKHAvEN.
PHILADELPHIA June 5.-The news from
Lockhayen is of most gloomy character.
Fears are being expressed that many will
starve. ALI communication is cut off and
aid cannot reach them. To add to their
distress they are without water. the supply
reservoir having been washed out. There
was ten feet of water in the highest loca-
ti0n in the city of Lockhaven.
AT LEWISTON.
LEWISTON JUNCTION, Pa, June 5.-The

BONFIREs ARE RIJRNING

BONFIREs ARE BURNING
Everywhere. Fire is the great agent EN-.
plOyed to help the committee get rid of
the refuse and broken wood. By means
of fire the Cambria from company cleared
away most of the lighter lumber, and will
soon be able to work on the heavier piles.
The completion of a temporary track and
bridge which permits the passage of trains
over the river, has been a blessing, for it
allows men to work much faster than be-
fore, and to get tools and material closer at
hand. This was the day set aside by the
citizens committee for the burlyng of all
the unidentified dead that have been lying
in the morgue since Sunday. At 10 o'clock
this morning men who were in charge of
the burying started to work and have been
busy all day. There are no pathetic scenes
at those burials. The men who have
been hired to do the work seem to do it
just as matter of business. Bodies are
being inferred IN the cemetery
nearest the place where the bodies were
found. About noon procession of about
FIFTY CONFINED BODIES
were seen going up the hill above the rail-
road. There was not mourner present,
and the sight was a ghostly one to behold.
1t wifi take several dayse to bury the dead
now in the different grave yards, as there
were few graves dug until this morning
and no men to dig them. However large
detachment of men arrived from Pittsburg
this morning and they were put to work
at digging graves Immediately. Altogether
about 800 bodiss have been taken to the
different cemeteries this morning.
THE MODE OF BURIAL.
Kind farmers lent assistance and dug
trenches and graves for the victims of the
great flood. Usually cofins are placed in
long rows in trenches prepared for the
purpo e. This is temporary arrange
ment, and as soon as the bodies are claimed
they will be given to surviving relatives or
friends -Four long trenches, 100 feet long,
seven feet wide and three feet deep,
form the graves for 200 vic
Tins of the flood, whose bodies
have been recovered at Ninevah, ten miles
below Johnstown to-day. The planning mill
has been converted into morgue. Across
the river at Old Ninevah thirty-ive bodies
were taken out OF the debris and mud.
This is the first opening of the narrow
valley through which the Conemaugh
dashes like mill race. From fields of
mud to-day many bodies have been taken.
Searchers find many of the bodies by means
Of hand or piece of clothing sticking
up through the mud. They carry long
sticks with which they prod the soil. Two
hundred victims were found here to-day
and thirty-6ve across the river. OF this
number, but few have been identified.
Westmoreland County corps are taking
care of the bodies found in that county.
They are having them shipped to Ninevah
and will bury them in their plot.of ground.

when he left there on Monday there was
none going on as far as he was aware,
nor did he see how there could be under
the new agreement made by the railroad
presidents. 1t has been understood, he
said, that all of the transcontinental
roads have informed their employees
that any attempt at cutting will be fol-

CHANGED His Name.

Judge Clark yesterday changed the
last name of a man and gave him his
own, for lack of better. A man named
George Quinn, Russian Hebrew by
birth and German in dialect, became
tired of having people call him an "Irish
Jew" and of answering questions as to
how such things could be, aud he petition
ed the court to change his last name to
that of Clark. Judge Clark started to
ask why the name Clark bad been
chosen, bu. he thought better of it and
granted the petition.

Two People Go TO Law Over His
Funeral Expenses.
Justice Savage tried an entertaining
civil case yesterday concerning the
ownership of dead mule, in which the
two litigants each endeavored to estab-
lish the fact that the other man had the
best claim to the carcass. Robert Collins,
the plaintiff was the original proprietor
of the animal while it was still living,
and traded it to Thomas Cook, the de-
fendant, for fine job lot, consisting of
one stud horse, one goat and one baby
carriage. After the trade the mule
became afflicted with melancholia
and sickened. Collins, who was some
thing of horse doctor, was called in to
prescribe. He took the languishing
mule to his place and fed it $6 worth OF
medicine. Under careful nursing the

THE APPROACHING ELECTION.
when It Will he Hold Under ths
New Charter.

A0n ~ ~ hAA no AAVA~
New Charter.
The approval of the new Charter by
the Legislature and the consequent prox-
unity of another election were the gen.
eral topics of conversation upon the
street yesterday, and politicians and Of
nee seekers sprang into existence as II by
magic. Prior to the noon hour there
was no political talk of any kind to be
heard on the streets, but when the news
spread that the Legislature had approved
the Charter the questions as to when the
municipal election would be held and
who would be the candidates for the
various offices were heard on every side.
Very few citizsns kept copies OF
the Charter when it was published, and
for their information the following pro-
visions regarding the election are given !:
AS to the date of the election to be called
by the Council, the Charter says ):
"Within thirty days after the date Qf
the taking effect OF this Charter,
q general municipal election shall Q
held in the city of Los Angeles for the
election by the electors OF said city OF all
the officers provided in this Charter, to
be elected by the people, viz: A Mayor,
q City Clerk, City Attorney, City
Treasurer, q City Auditor, a City Tax and
License Collector, City Engineer, a
Street Superintendent, City Assessor
and two Police Judges, and by the elec-
tors of each of the said wards respec-
lively, one member of the Council and
one member of the Board of Education -
A to time when the officers elected will
take their seats, the Charter says: THE
officers elected at the first general mu-
nicipal election after the taking effect of
this Charter, except the City Assessor,
shall, after having qualified as herein
provided, enter upon the discharge OF the
duties of the offices to which they have
been respectively elected, one calendar
month after said election, and shall hold
Office until their successors shall have
been elected and qualified" The exact
date upon which the officers will take
their seats depends, therefore, upon
the action of the present Council, which
must publish call for the election ten
days prior to the date of the election. 1t
was hinted on the street yesterday that
action in this matter would be taken very
shortly by the Council, but in case the
election is not called until the thirty day
limit makes it necessary, the officers can
not take their seats for sixty days from
the date of the approval of the Charter.
The election will be called for nine wards
instead of five, as has been the case here
tofore, and it is probable that it will take
some time to determine just how many
precincts should be in each Of the new
wards,

mule rallied for time, but finally passed
away. Now comes the physician Collins
with bill for medicine, nursing attend
ance and burial, for in this case the
physician appears to have combined in
himself the two functions OF doctor and
undertaker-an exceptionally convenient
arrangement. MI. Cook responded by
declaring that he gave Collins the mule
when he hired him over to his care. The
CAGE was decided in favor Of the plaintiff.
