JoHNSToWN, Pa, June 6.-From Johns
town up the valley easy CO mmunicatior
has been opened as far as Conemaugk,
two miles, and it is possible for any one
here to readily behold sight never be-
fore seen in this world, and which no one
who does not see it himself will ever be-
lieve did really exist. It is described
here as we'll as words can describe, but
merely as a duty to history, and not with
the idea that any one who can not look at
it will ever think it true. Every one has
seen the light beam shafts and rods in a
factory lying in twisted, broken and
criss-cross shape after fire has de-
stroyed the factory.
In the gap above Johnstown the water
has picked up four-tra railroad, COW
cred with trains, freight and passenger,
and with machine shops, and other
heavy buildings with heavy contents, and
has torn the track to pieces, twisted,
turned and crossed it as fire never could.
1t has tossed huge freight locomotives
like barrels, and cars like packing boxes,
and torn them to pieces and scattered
them over miles of territory. It has in
one place put stream of water city
block wide between the railroad and the
bluff, and in another place it has changed
the course Of the river as far in the other
direction, and left it a hundred yards
inland, on which are the tracks that for
merly skirted the banks. Add to this
that in the midst of this, fire, with the
singular fatality that has made it every

catastrophe, has destroyed train of

THE DIREFUl DAM.

It Was Structure that Ought to Invoke
Ma1edictlOnS on its Constructors and
Those who Maintained 1t.
NEW YORK, June 5.-The Suns Johns
town special says that reporter went to
the dam at Lake Conemaugh yesterday
and examined the masonry and found
that it consisted merely of dirt, with a
light rubble facing, instead of solid ma.
builders designed that it's surplus in time
of high water should be run off, are said
to have been permanently closed to save
the fish. AS to the dam itself, there was
no massive masonry nor any tremendous
exhibition of engineering skill in design
ing the structure or putting it up. There
was no masonry at all, in fact, nor any
engineering worthy of the name. Thu
dam was simply a gigantic heap Of
earth dumped across the course OF a
mountain stream between two low hills.
It was faced on each side with layer OF
heavy, rough stone, loosely thrown to-
gether and uncemented. This pile of
earth was, as has boon stated, about sew
enty-five feet high and ninety-fve feet
thick, at the base. 1T the summit it was
leveled off so as to he about twenty feet
wide and a wagon-road crossed it. 1t was
an ordinary dirt-roa4, and there was no
rock or masonry beneath it. The width
was about forty feet. At the top the da m
was about 400 feet long. It was built
straight across the gap AMI neither face
nor back was curved. The slopes were
about the same on both face and back.

WHAT is NEEDED.

The Needs of the General Relief Conn
mittee to Bring Order Out of tho Cha s
in the Conemaugh Valley.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June THE general
relief committee in this city gave out the
following last night:
Hon. w. Flynn, in charge OF our laborers at
Jamestown, reports that it will require ten
thousand men for thirty days. with all modern
appliances, to clear the wrecks along the ten
miles of destruction; take out the corpses and
the carcasses of dead animals and place the
city in safe sanitary condition. This will cost
double the amount now in the hands of the
committee, which does not include the relief
for the suffering and destitute, which is very
great. all OF which has been carefully attended
to. The destitute are brought to this city, fed,
clothed, housed or sent free to friends all over
the land We ask that the generous subscrip-
tions which are coming from all over the coun-
try be continued until sufficient funds are pro-
vided to complete the above work, of which due
notice will be given through the press.
[Signed1 WILLIAM MCCREERY,
Chairman.
The amount so far received by the gen.,
eral relief committee is between two hun.
bred and fifty and three hundred thou
sand dollars.
