JoHNsTowN, PA, June 6, II A. M-The
work Of recovering dead goes on with un-
diminished vigor, and as the workmen be-
come accustomed to their ghastly finds and
the horrors of the scene become common
place, they apply themselves more dill
gently to their duty and labor with sys-
tenn that produces rapid results. The. Al
toona delegation has been one of the busiest
and most useful on the ground. They took
charge of the two leading hospitals
the Cambria hospital and that
under DR.. Robinson, in Johnstown,
and ran them up to this morning
when they were relieved by the Philadel-
phia branch of the Red Cross Society under
Miss Clara Barton. They have also been
in charge of the wreckage above the bridge.
B. M. Bunker of Altoona has had sixty
men at work, aided by Dave Kirk, who is
doing the dynamiting Altoona pays all
the bills for this work. This party Of work
men have done so we'll that big blast of
twenty-five dynamite cartridges at 10
o'clock loosened up the debris and made it
possible to open the mouth Of the old chan
mel
RUINS OF THE TRAIN.
This gang of workmen have located the
day express which was swept away at
Conemaugh. The ruins of the train lie
about 100 feet from the fourth buttress
from the western end of the stone bridge.
Parts of the parlor cars have to-day been
found, as well as traces of the passengers.
About o'clock the baggage of Miss Annie
ChisTn of Nashville, Tenn, was found. She
was missionary on her way to Brazil for
the Women's Foreign Missionary Society
of the Methodist church. Among
her effects was a Bible, and in
it was message to be fled
at Altoona, and addressed to the Methodist
Book Concern, at No. 80 East Twentieth
street, New York, announcing that she was
on the train. Sc also had watch, some
money and a Greek Testament 1t is evil
Gent that many lives were lost on this train
more than at first supposed. The whole
train affair is still mystery; at least, the
passengers have not so far been found and
located. The body of nicely dressed lady
was found yesterday, which was so much
decomposed as to be unrecognizable. The
effects of Miss Chism were sent to Altoona.
RIOT AT THE LABOR CAMP.
There was a small sized riot at the labor
camp this morning ON account of there not
being food enough for the men, ,.or utensils
to cook it with. Mr. Finn, who is at the
head Of the labor bureau, made speech to
the men, and stated that it was impossible
to get things down from the railroad, but
SAID that they would be gotten down as
soon as possible He also stated that they
did not want men who expected to
live on the fat of the land and
that this was principally work of char
ity, even though the men did get paid for
their work. A few minutes later, as Mr..
Finn was drinking some black coffee and
eating some hard crackers and cheese, two
workmen came up to him and commenced
TO complain because they did not have soup
and meat. This enraged Mr.. Finn, and
after telling them that he thought he was
as used to good eating as they were, he
ordered the guards to take the men out of
own and not permit them to come back
again. This seemed to have the desired
erect and there was no more trouble. This
morning twenty time keepers from
flttshurg arrived and they are now
hard at work getting the names
o. the men employed. This morning 1t
was stated that 5000 men were at work,
and 1t is expected that by tomorrow at
!eaSt 10000 men will be employed, but even
thls large force will not be able to remove
tne debris in less than several weeks Last
night about 500 Of the laborers had no tents
70 sleep in, but word has been received
from Washington that tents are on their
way, and it is expected that they will arrive
tonight
