$500 BODIES FOUND.
JoHNsTowN, June 0.-Dr. Sibbett, the
State Inspector, has been engaged since
noon in collecting the figures of the num-
Der of bodies handled i'm the various
morgues in Johnstown and the immediate
vicinity. He reported this evening that
the number was 600 distributed in the
morgues as follows: Two hundred and
nineteen at the Fourth Ward School, 2s at
the Presbyterian Church, lS2 at the depot,
I2S at Morrellville, S25 at the st. Columbia
Church in Cambria City, 13 at Haws, SO at
Millvale, five at the First Ward, Millvale,
lis at Kernville. The doctor estimated
tonight that $500 bodies had been recov-
cred so far, at all points. About 5S bodies
were recovered to-day. The corpses are
so badly docoinposed that nothing can be
done with them. The feet, face and hands
Of bodies that have been exposed to the
water cannot be touched without remov-
ing the skin. Mr.. Jessop says the entire
covering Of the bodies, for that matter, is
in very decayed state and the embalmers
are about ready to give up their work.
A DoG's HERoIsM.
Captain Mcguire has a handsome and
heroic shepherd dog at Morrellville, which
he will take back to Pittsburgh with him.
Tho dog had been taken the day before
the flood six miles above Morrellville.
The next thing the people of Morrellville
knew the dog was Struggling ashore there,
dragging a young girl named Maggie
Fitzpatrick up the bank after him. The
girl has completely recovered. The origi-
nal owner of the dog, Squire Leisenring
gave him to Captain Mcguire, and it would
take handsome sum to buy him.

Elections of the Commonwealth, passed

The loss of life at Johnstown and
vicinity by the food can now be put
with reasonable certainty at 5000
By comparing these figures with the
loss of life in some of the principal
battles of the late civil war the i'm.
mensity of the Johnstown calamity
will be more fully appreciated. At
the first battle of Bull Run the loss on
the Union side was 4S1 killed, on the
Confederate was 37S killed. At the
second battle of Bull Run the loss Of
the Union forces was about l 400 kill.
ed, that of the Confederate was $40
At the battle of Antietam the Union
forces lost 2,010 killed and the Con.
federate about 1900. At Fredericks
burg the Union loss in killed was
1900 and the Confederate 600. A
Gettysburg the UDion loss was 2,S3l
and the Confederate 5000. Thus i
will be seen that more lives we're los
at Johnstown than there were killed
outright at any one battle of the civi
war with the exception of Gettysburg
and almost twice as many as was thu
Union loss killed there, and about a
many as the Confederate loss.-C CON-

THE GREAT CALAMITY.

JoHNsrowN, PA, June Flight thou
sand men have been at work here to-day
clearing out the debris, but truth compels
the statement that the undertaking has not
yet been fairly started. Fires are burning
up and down the valley of the Conemaugh
as far as the eye can reach. The air is
thick with smoke, and yet TO people IA
miliar with the situation the efforts of this
army of earnest toilers is hardly appre-
ciable. Something like system is being
established, but the most careful estimates
are to the effect that it will take 10, 900 men
four weeks to clear out the heaps of ruins
piled for miles between the hills up and
down the course of the river.
MORE DEsTITUTION.
Father Smith, pastor of the Catholic
Church at Ebensburg, reached here to-day
after a two days journey from South
Fork. He says the residents of Mineral
Point, Coopersville, Dutchtown, East
Conemaugh, and other small settlements
along that valley are in destitute circum-
stances and are in need Of immediate sup
plies of groceries and clothing. Reports
from each of these villages show that be.
Woodvale and the hamlet of South Fork.
PNEUMONIA PREVALENT.
Pneumonia grows alarmingly, notwith-
standing the statements of DR.. Croft, of
the State health board. DIR. Sweet, of
Philadelphia, prominent member of DIR.
Groff's staff, came down from the Cambria
hospital tonight with startling report.
He said: prospect Hill is full of pneu-
monia, with some diphtheria and measles.
The hospital is full to overflowing, and to-
day l attended AZ cases on the outside.
There is every condition needed for the
spread of the disease, aud / fear an epi-
demic."
Nine horses and four cows were Gre
mated to-day making 100 animals in this
district. A row of human feet was no.
ticed sticking out of the sand on the river
bank near Kernyille. A gang of men
soon unearthed bodies of two men and
one girl all in good state of preservation.
The men were identified as Young and
Bantley. The girl was buried among the
great army of unknowns.
DEAD IN HIS ARMS.
The body of Rev. Alonzo p. Diller,
rector of the Johnstown Episcopal Church,
and those of his wife and child, were recov-
cred to-day under circumstances both sad
and strange. Four Episcopal clergymen,
who had been ordered here by Bishop
Whitehead, were working about the ruins
near Lincoln street when they came uron
the body of their late brother, clasped in
one rigid arm was the body Of his babe,
and in the other his wife, whose arms were
about his neck. They were removed in
this position and will be buried tomorrow,
the Episcopal clergymen officiating. Rev.
Diller was last seen at an upper front
window Of his house. lie had his wife
and child in his arms and he seemed
about decided 10 jump into the angry
flood when the house melted from sight
and the water closed over them. The
bodies were found half mile away from
where the house stood.

The effect of prohibitory laws is
strikiugly shown by the comparatively
vacant apartments in the jails of the
counties where the local option law is
in force. Commissioner Of Public
Charities Of Penn, 1878.
For twenty years there has not been
licensed hotel or restaurant in this
county Potter Col As to the results,
can say that while the county has
been steadily growing in population
and business, pauperism and crime
have steadily decreased. The
effect of this system is felt in many
ways: taxes are reduced the business
