and when the poor old fellow had calm

30 houses came floating down the streets,
There were people in every one OF them,
and God only how many were lost, us
they were carried of, The houses were
jammed together and against the

the first train passed New Florence east,
1t was crowded with people from Pitts.
burgh and places enroute, People who
were going to the scene Of the disaster
with but little hope Of finding theirloved
ones alive. Rich and posr were on board
that train, all thinking but one thing,
and that was "what will we see2" 1t
was heartrending sight and not dry
eye was in tho train, Mothers moaned
for their children, husbands passed
through the aisles and wrung their
hands in mute agony. Fathers pressed
their faces against the windows in an
endeAvor to see something, they knew
not what, that would tell them in a
measure OF the dreadful fate that their
loved one had met with.
All along the raging Conemaugh the
train stopped and bodies wero taken on
the express car, being carried by the
villagers, who were out along the banks.
Oh, the horror and infinite pity Of it all.
What journey has been that OF the
last half hour. Swollen, awful corpses
lay hire and there in piles OF cross ties
or on the river banks among the
tangled greonery. 1t was about nine
o'clock when the first passenger
train since Friday came to the
New Florence depot with It's load Of
eager passengers. There were no idle
travellers, but each had a mission. Here
and there men were staring out Of the
windows with red eyes, Among them
were tough looking Hungarians aud
Italians, who had lost friends near
Nineveh, while some arc weeping on
all sides. Two Of the passengers on
the train were man and wife
from Johnstown. He was quiet digni-
fed aud more or less self possessed. She
was petite, anxious, and tried hard to
control her feelings. From every new.
conner and possible source OF informa-
ton she sought news. "Ours is q big
new brick house," said she with
brave effort, but with her loving
brown eyes moist and red lip
trembling; 1T Is q three story house
and don't think there Is any trouble,
do you2" she said to me, and without
waiting for my answer she continued
with sob: "1here are my four chill.
dren In the house, and their nurse, and
guess father and mother will 60 over TO
the house, don'tyouP"
In a few moments all those in the car
knew the story Of the pair and many
n plying glance was cast at the couple.
This Is only a sample Of the pathetic
scenes witnessed.
