ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
From JohnstoWn.

JoHNsTowN, June IL The weary and
dreary succession of rainy days since the
flood continues, and day broke amidst
dr;zziing raio. With but single exception
every day here since the deluge has opened
with rain, but this has served to cool the
air and temper the hot rays of June sun.
Had there been such weather as prevailed
yesterday afternoon, hot and exhausting, 1t
is believed by many that it would have
been impossible to continue the work OF
searching for the dead. Even as 1t is the
fumes arising from the decomposed bodies
of persons and animals are most offensive,
and at times almost overpowering. So notice
able has this become that each gang OF
men searching for the dead carries quantities
of disinfectants. The search for the dead
continues, and in all sections and directions
bodies are being found. Numbers of bodies
are now coming to the surface fthe waters,
and those whose work has made them COM
petent judges say as many more bodies Is
have been fonnd are lying somewhere. 10
many unexpected places bodies are hourly
being found, and where this will end no
human mind can guess. The fires that had
been kindled among the timber near the
Stone bridge were quenched by The rain,
and the valley was filed with steamy and
i'll smelling vapors. An exodus set in here
to-day, which before the day closes will have
reduced the number of men now here by
many hundreds. This is merely the begin
ming of the great outpouring that will set in
to morrow and many are leaving to day in
order to avoid the rush to morrow. They
are averse to working for 81 so per day and
demand g This ia the last day for clear
Ing away the effects Of the food by the civil
authorities Tomorrow the State takes
hold of the work of restoring the valley to
it's condition before the flood. and all work
done after to-day will be under the super
vision of Adjutant General Hastings, The
channel of the river above the Stone bridge
ia being fast cleaned.

THE G. Il o. CANAL.-Reports recersi
by President Cambria OF the damage to d.
Chesapeake and Ohio canal by the rec.i.
freshet enable him to estimate that it vii.
require at least $500, 600 to restore the cst,
to the condition ii was 10 before the Sit 4
May, though the canal could be made nsy
gable for less. From Georgetown to Il.
Great Falls the damage cannot be repsirtl
for less than slS0,000, of which SSOM
would be required to restore the Gecrc
town water power, about which there i. .
much clamor. From the falls to HarEt:
Ferry dam $50, 600 would have 10 be .pu.
and thence to Cumberland about ;G0G0
more. These estimates are made on carttl
surveys and are considered rather unit,
than above the mark. 1t is one OF the Te
cularities of the freshet of lSS9 thatlL,
stonework of walls, &C., is more geneuiY
involved than on any previous occasion Of
the kind. The telephone wires have beta
swept away, so that communication hCz
point to point by electricity is cut oil, So.
every bridge for which the canal cdmpar!
responsible is down. To get ut iniorman:
