THE WRECKAGE.
The Herculcan Task Confronting Those
who Are Removing 1t.

The Herculcan Task Confronting Those
Who Are Removing 1t.
Much of this tedious work has been
done, but much more remains to be done.
When first tackled all the thorougfares
were packed, iammed, crowded with
debris from six to twenty-five feet high.
Where to begin, how to begin in
the arduous work of clearing the streets
was problem not easily solved; and if
solved the question of properly disposing
of the refuse involved quite as great diff.
ficulty.
Thanks to the good, big-hearted people
of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and other
cities and towns of this great country,
means and men came in from every quar-
ter Our crying want of money, men,
teams, engines and other needed appli-
ances was speedily and fully supplied.
Our Macedonian cry for help had scarcely
been heard until these necessary things
for tackling and prosecuting the work,
came to us in such great profusion as to
inspire confidence in the breasts of all.
While some are disposed to criticise the
slowness of the work and what they deem
an unwise expenditure of money, we are
strongly inclined to the opinion that such
was the formidable character of the un-
dertaking, that the authorities have been
doing quite as well as could be reasonably
expected. And it is more than doubtful
if those who are fruitful in complaints
could have done rs much. Like it was in
the DAYS of our late war, when there were
thousands of generals that knew more
about crushing the rebellion Gin their
minds) than the peerless Grant, so now
there are men who can't tell pick from a
hoe and who never cleared a garden spot,
quite volubIe in telling how this and that
should be done.
The truth is the vast piles of wreckage
at the point and on our streets have been
removed properly and ranidly; and the
community ought to be grateful to the
men who have superintended the work.
Thousands of loads have been hauled off
and numberless trees and logs collected
and burned. Nearly all distractions are
taken from the Johnstown streets, and
commendable progress made in opening
! the thoroughfares in Kernville and the
surrounding boroughs.

OUR BENEFACT

Who are they Their names are
legions. Where do they hail from From
everywhere. Not city, not town, not
village, not an industry, not farming
community in the land that has not con-
tributed to our relief Money by the
thousands has been raised food and
clothing by train loads have been pouring
in upon us. Without such munifccnce
the suffering caused by absolute destitu-
ton would have been incalculable. Never
in the history of any stricken section of
this or any other country were the spon-
taniety aod liberality of the people of all
creeds, professions, and callings up to
what it has been in this instance in
charity and good works. To one and
all Johnstown and its vicinity are under
everlasting obligations.
Johnstown weekly Democrat. (Johnstown, Cambria County, Pa.) 1889-1916, 1889-07-05
WORK YET no BE DONE.

Vast as the work that has already been
accomplished III removing wreckage and
cleaning up streets, great deal remains
to be done. The principal streets on the
Johnstown side are now open-at least
sufficiently for teams to go through, but
nearly all of the smaller cross ones, such
as King, Potts, Union and Feeder, are
still blocked up; while in Kernville some
of the thoroughiares will take weeks of
work to remove not only piles of debris
but large buildings that have lodged
uponthem.
AS to the acres, lying below Market
street and extending from the Come
maugh to Stonycreek, that are still COW
cred by many feet of wrecked buildings,
large sGw-logs trees and cars, it looks as
though months Of hard work will be re-
uuired to make much headway in getting
the accumulation Of stuff off. So over
in sections Of Kernville and up from
Clinton, and on through Connemaugh
borough the work to be done seems al
most too overwhelming for human inge-
nuity and energy to undertake. But
what has already been accomplished i'm
parts confidence as to the final clearing up
of the whole place.

WELCOME, THRICE WELCOME VIS
TORS.

One of the most pleasing and benificent
incidents connected with the floods after
math occurred last Saturday, on the oc-
casion of hurried visit paid our devas-
tated town by three men whose souls are
as blg as mountains and whose impulses
are as generous as those of white winged
angels. The trio consisted of Hon E. A.
Noonan, Mayor of st. Louis, G. E. Meade,
Esq, mis- Private Secretary, and A. Reim-
Ter, President of the German Singing So
ciety, of st. Louis.
On coming into town they called at the
DEMOCRAT office, and distributed hun
dreds of dollars in fives, tens and twenties
to all the really needy sufferers pointed
out to them. And then procuring Il two
horse rig, accompanied by the editor of
the DEMOCRAT, drove through all our prin-
cipal streets lavishing money upon all
destitute women and children they could
hear of. Proceeding to the p r. r., sta.
ton they continued their good work of mu-
nifcence until fully five thousand dollars
had been bestowed as gratuities. All this
was over and above what St. Louis had
put into the general relief fund.
To such fittingly do the words apply !:
"Well done, good and faithful servants" :"
Here is an example, an illustrious one
worthy of being copied, and we heartily
commend it to others that they may go, "
rather come, " and do likewise" We be-
lieve that the money thus distributed
reached more worthy cases and did more
good than if 1t had been put into the gem
eral relief fund.

A NOTED INSTANCE OF GENEROSITY

Among the many hundreds of noble
minded and charitably disposed men of the
United States, we take pleasure in put
ting the name of Colonel Sheppard, of the
New York Mail and EgpreSs, at the head
of the distinguished list. While others
have thoughtfully remembered our suf-
ferers by contributing their hundreds,
he has lavished upon the destitute
among us money and goods amounting to
thousands. In addition to sending ST.
900 worth of tinware, and S402 worth of
Cross $1,000 in cash. If any other per-
son has been more munifcient in his con-
tribHtions we have failed to hear of it.
But the Colonel did not stop at this, as he
has complemented the whole by arrang-
ing to pay the expenses of twenty-five
homeless women for one month at the
sea shore. The party accepting the gen
erous invitation departed for Asbury
Park, under the care of Mrs. Hammond,
of Staten Island, New York, on Thurs
day the 25th ult.
A man with as big soul and with such
liberal impulses, as these acts indicate, is
an honor to the race and richly merits the
success he has had in publishing and ed
iting one of the leading dailies of our
national metropolis. That he is credit
to the newspaper world goes without the
saying. To him Johnstown makes her
most grateful bow, with the sincere wish
that the good Lord would make many
more men like him.

OUR RECOVERY.
How and by Whom the Work has bee
Done.

Done.
Although our people were almost par
alyzed by the enormity of the calamity |
that had befalen them, a meeting lof !
number of the leading citizens who es-
capped death, was held near the corner of
Main and Adams street early on Saturday |
morning. June 1st, to consider the situa-
ton. Mr.. A. j. Moxham was made
chairman of citizens committee, and
other committees to look after the imme
diate wants of the people were formed.
Rev. ID. j. Beale, d. D., was made chair
man of the committee on mOrgues Rev.
Father James p. Tahaney was appointed
chairman of the committee on provisions,
and Mr.. w. @. Lewis was placed at the
head of the committee on finance.
With this organization for a nucleus
headquarters were established at Peters
Fourth Ward House, and the many wants
of the people were looked after as best
they could Acknowledgement Hastings
drove to town from Ebensburg on Satur-
day, and at once took charge of affairs at
the Pennsylvania Railroad station, and
rendered much aid in getting things sys-
tematized.
Contributions in money, food and cloth
ing came quickly, and the creature COM
forts of our stricken people looked after
by scores of willing hands. The first few
days but little was done toward clearing
up the wreckage, all efforts being eX-
pended in gathering up the dead, and
looking after the wants of the living. On
the fourth of June, Booth & Flynn, CON
tractors of Pittsburgh, put II large force
of men at work, and Mr.. James b. Scott,
of the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce.
was made dictator, Mr.. Moxham being
compelled to resign his position on ac-
count of his many other duties. During
the week that followed much of the
wreckage was cleared away, and on June
18th Adjutant-General Hastings took con-
troll of the work, the State having assumed
the responsibility of cleaning up the town.

to be done. The commissaries, which

THE MILITARY.

A word in behalf of the too greatly
censured soldiers of the 14th regiment of
our State Guards. That they did good
service in protecting property and keep
ing order, at time when all in and
about Johnstown was in confusion, and
when thieving hordes floeked to the
town, does not admit of doubt. 1t is
possible that few of the thoughtless
among them we're guilty of conduct uu-
becoming soldiers, but in the main their
behavior was exemplary. If, as some
say, their presence was an evil, we think
the better judgment of the people will say
they were necessary evil. Their duties
were of somewhat delicate nature, but
were generally performed in delicate
manner. Honor to whom honor is due.

Can't. w. II, Jones.

Among the first to reach tewn after the
flood was Captain w. r. Jones, formerly
of this place, but now of Braddock Com
pretending as few did the extent of the
disaster and the best means of meeting the
emergency, he by common consent took
charge, for the time being, of all our dis
ordered affairs, and much sooner than
could be expected had everything con-
nected with securing bodies and saving
what little property remained reduced to
something like system. His wonted skill
and indomitable energies rendered us
more than yeoman's service"

OUR SANITARY AFFAIRS.

The health of this entire community
may be said TO be exceptionally good, not
withstanding some cock and bull stories
that regularly appear in some of the Pitts
burgh dailies. Where they get their in
formation is query not easily answered.
If not manufactured in Pittsburgh offices,
it must be the outcropping of a Johns
town mind that is untramelled with the
limits of truth, or by the checks of con
science. There are no epidemics-in
fact no signs of one, and the general
health of all is quite as good as it usually
has been at this season of the year. DR..
Sheridan, of Sheridan Station, one of our
oldest and best physicians, said to the
writer on Wednesday that the health OF
the people was almost exceptionally
good.

The Urine as a Sign in Disease.

If there is one thing more valuable
than anything else in this world it is good
health. Doctor Keyser, who is one of the,
best if not the very best diagnostician in
the country says, "that the urine is almost
sure to give correct clue to nearly every
chronic disease especially those of kidneys
as well us dropsfcal affections" The
Doctor is consulted in muny intricate
maladies and is sometimes taken to great
distance for his valuable opinion. Whilst
the lungs and adjacent organs have re-
ceived from him the most direct attention,
he is no less master of all tedius and hid
den affections, to which mo, physicians
are indifferent. If you do not feel able to
have him visit you at your home, by send
inc vile of URINE by express, with
Three Dollars, he will send you a trial
bottle of medicine suitable to your case.
Doctor Keyser's office is at No. 2 corner
of Miller and Clark streets, near Centre
Avenue. The Wylie and Centre avenue
cars pass close by the door. novelty
