A Heavy Job.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June IA contractors
estimates show more than anything else the
chaotic condition of this city. ct will take
10000 men thirty days to clear the grounds
so that the streets are passable and the
the work of rebuilding can be commenced"
said he, 'and am at a loss to knew how
the work is to be done. This enthusiasm
will soon die out and volunteers will want
to return home. 1t will take all summer
for my men alone to do what work is neces-
sary. Steps must be taken and at once to
furnish gangs of workmen, and tomorrow
I shall send a communication to the Pitts
burg chamber of commerce, asking the
different manufacturers of the Ono valley
to take turns for month or so in furnish
ing reliefs of men. l shall ask that each
establishment stop work for week at
time, and send all hands in charge of FORE
man and time keeper. We will board and
care for them here. These gangs should
come for week at time as no organiza-
ton can be effected if workmen arrive and
leave when they please"

YOUNGSTOWN, PA, June 1O.-"Are the hor-
rors of the flood to be succeeded by the ter
rors of the plagues" is the question::that is
now agitating the valley of the Conemaugh.
Inc weather is now warm and almost sultry,
ana the stencil that assails ones senses is
almost empowering. Sickness in spite of
precautions, is on the increase, and the fears
OF epidemic grow with every hour.
'ltis our IMPRESSION" said Dr.. T. L.
White, assistant to the state be- ard of health,
THAT there is going to be great sickness
here within the next week. Five cases of
malignant diphtheria were loc ated on Bed
ford street, and as they were in different
houses they mean five starting points for
the disease. All this talk about the danger
OF epidemic is not exaggerated but is found
ed upon experience. There will be plenty
OF typhoid fever and kindred diseases here
within week or ten days. The only thing
that has saved us thus Tar has been the cool
weather. That has now given place to sum-
mer weather and no one knows what the
next few days may bring forth. Even among
the workmen and attendants there is already
observable great tendency to diarrhpa
and dysentery. The men are living prin-
cipally upon salt meat and there is a lack of
vegetables.
''Of course the worst has passed for the
physicians, as our arrangements are now
perfected, and each corps will be relieved
from time to time. Twenty more physi-
clans have arrived from Pittsburg, and many
of US Will be relieved. But the opinion is
general among the medical men that there
will be more need for doctors week hence
than there is now"

The Relief Fund.

JoHxsTowN, Pa, June ga meeting was
held in the private car of the superintendent
of the Baltimore & Ohio, Mr.. Patton, which
was attended by j. B. Scott, W. S. Jones,
General hastings, II. I. Gourley and Reu.
ben Miller. The last two gentlemen repre-
burr citizens relief committee. The object
of the meeting was to ascertain from Gov
ernor Beay er how much of the fund now in
his hands for the relief of flood sufferers in
the state would go to Johnstown. There
have been placed at the governors CON-
mand sums aggregating $3.50, 900, but some
of it was specifically given for the relief of
JohnstOwn.
Much of the money was donated simply
for the relief of sufferers from the flood in
the state. those in Clearfeld. Lockhaven,
Williamsport and other drowned out places
coming in for their share.
The Pittsburg committee has in its hands
about sos. 900. 1t has been the first on the
grounds and has been unspar. ing in expense
in sending relief to the sufferers.
Heavy bills have been incurred and both
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Gourley stated a the
meeting that they desired as financial pre-
caution to know Just how far they could 60.
To this end it was necessary to know def
nitely how much of the money now in the
hands of Governor Beaver would be devoted
to Johnstown.
Governor Beaver was wired and responded
that he would meet representative of the
Saturday and the matter in question would
be settled. He also put himself in COM
munication with the authorities at later
hour

JoHNsrowS, Pa, June 7.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that nearly every prominent city
in the United Statet is raising fund Tor the
Conemaugh sufferers the wants OF the
homeless and afflicted are far from beng
alleviated. At the various relief stations the
crowd of applicants was continuous from
morning till night and many of the needy
were forced to wait in line for hours before
their turn came and their little portion was
allotted out to them. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars must pour into this stricken
valley if positive suffering and privation Is
to be avoided. Thousands of people are
homeless and in these devasted homes, thou
sand also lost their all. Labor and manu-
featuring of nearly every kind is at stand
still in the valley and weeks or months must
elapse before the Cambria iron works and
other industrial institutions can possibly
resume and give employment to the thou
sands that depend upon them for support.
Even at the present time, five days after
the world was first thrilled with the news of
the great disaster, there are hundreds OF
hungry people in the Conemaugh valley
who have no certainty of breakfast to-
morrow. Yet the country seems impressed
with the idea that their every want Is being
complied with, and that physical suffering
is at an end. photographic expressions OF
comm iseration ar pouring in from every
city and borough throughout the broad land,
but substantial evidences of sympathy are
sadly wanting. 1t is not possible that while
people read, wonder and pity, every man
expects his neighbor to give or thinks that
ere his donation would arrive IN the valley
actual necessity would be at an end. The
mayor of Johnstown has received by
cablegram copy of the resolutions
adopted at public meeting in Paris, France.

Patrick Egan and the Cronin Case

Patrick Egan and the Cronin Case.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 1.-THE re-
port that it may be found necessary to recall
Patrick Egan, the newly appointed minister
to Chilli, in connection with the investiga-
ton in the Cronin case, creates good deal
of talk In state department circles, and it is
said, has given President Harrison no little
uneasines.. The appointment of Egan, ex-
treasurer and president of the Land League,
on either side of the water respectively was
intended as signal mark of recognition of
the Irish leaders in behalf of the republican
party during the last three presidential cam
paignS, and it is said that the president felIc-
itated himself particularly upon this ap-
pointment, in the belief that it was one of
the most popular that could be made. 1t
fact that Egan is still a political exile from
his native land. Nevertheless his appoint
ment was net received with such a howl
from the English press as might have been
expected. No suggestion has been made
that Egan has been concerned in the Cronin
case, but advices from Chicago say that all
the evidence SO far given, points to the fact
that the sum of 100000, the embezzlement
of which aroused DR.. Cronin and appa-
rently cost him his life, was wrung from Egan
while in Paris as the treasurer of the land
league by Alexander Sullivan. AS the case
at present stands Egan's evidence is more
than material. If he did give Alexander
Sullivan the sum in question, if this was the
moneys deposited by the president in the
Traders bank and subsequently specialized
with at the Lester house, then an important
link in the chain of evidence which connects
the triangle with the tragedy will have been
perfected, and it will be demonstrated that
Cronin instead of being a crank was en-
gagged IN an honest endeavor to expose
gigantic steal. In official circles it is con-
sidered doubtful whether there is prece-
dent for recalling Egan simply to explain
his connection with the case but it is under
stood that advices regarding the present
condition of affairs have been cabled to
Aspinwall where his steamer stops and that
the question of returning has been left to
bis own Judgment and conscience.

It Surprised Sir Julian,


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the new British minister, was q
little surprised to learn that broad sword
contest had been arranged between himself
and Captain Thomas Phelan, of Kansas
City. It seems that this arrangement was
entirely one sided affair. Captain Phelan
is something of a swordsm an as well as an
Irish patriot. He gained some distinction
a few years ago as the object of an assault
by O'Donavan Rosa, the latter attempting
to penetrate Mr.. Phelan's vitality with a
knife. Captain Phelan came to Washington
few days ago on business and fell in with
his friend T. NJ. Curtin, of Kansas City.
Mr.. Curtin, who assumes to be local Irish
politician at the mouth of the Kaw, is after
Office and believes in getting himself adver-
tised. He and Captain Phelan, between
themselves, arranged match at broad
swords with Sir Julian Pauncefote, whose
reputation as a fencer is International. An
announcement of the match was made upon
the authority of the Kansas City gentlemen,
lister he denounced the alledged arrange
ments as rank effrontery. Indeed his dig
nifty was much offended, and he declared
that he had never heard of either Phelau or
Curtin. What is more, he don't care to
meet either of the gentlemen. The match
is therefore OFF. Mr.. Phe!an says that Cur
tin spoiled it all by talking too much. He
persists that the match Was fully arranged
with Sir Julian, but that Curtin. who had
conducted the affair. had the temerity to
annouced it, and Sir Julian grew frightened
at the prospects of notoriety and declined to
enter.

A WONDERFUL WELL.
Peculiar Property CT ArteS;an Wa

Peculiar Property CT ArteSian Wa
ter on a Kansas Farm.
Fort SCOTT, KAN, June 7.-County
Treasurer Hornaday, has discovered at a
depth of $50 feet on his farm in thus county
most ,tartling phenomenon. 1t is an ar
tesian well of electric water. 1t is very
clear and cold, and contains much less sui
phur than does the artesian waters of this
city. 1t also contains other qualities that
the taste cannot define.
The electrical forces OF this remarkable
fluid are very powerful. 10 place both hands
iuto the water at the same time is utterly
impossible. The shock is so farcible it will
throw you aside with vIgor, giving you to
realize a second attempt will be quite un-
in the water the effect is quite different. A
steady, powerful, electrical current passes
through the body, beginning mildly at first,
but soon becoming intensely vigorous and
ultimately unbearable. This latter expert
ment produces an interest. nc effect at night
time. When in the dark you will be aston
ished to see great electrical sparks emanat-
ing from the ends of the fingers of one hand,
while holding the other in the water.
This wonderful water is pleasant to the
taste. but has an effect very similar to that
of seidletz powder; however, as the mixing
process goes on in the stomach vigorous
protest will be made to a second glass of the
fluid. 1t seems that SO soon as this water
enters INTO the stomach and comes in con-
tact with the gas therein an eifusion takes
place which induces a startling electrical
commotion and foamy substance comes
boiling up with such force that it overfows
the mouth and nostrils, much TO the annoy
ance of the victim. Much interest is felt in
this rich find, and as the we'll is but short
distance northeast of this city, many inves-
tigate Its curious charms every day.

Government Pontoons.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, June 1.-THE corps OF
of government engineers arrived, and has
demonstrated the valuable assistance which
1t is capable of rendering in these times of
emergency with but few hours rest. These
men were up ere sun rise, and by O'Clock
pontoon bridge had been stretched across
the river at Kernville. Act ng in conjuction
with the Pennsylvania military authorities
they are pursuing their labors at various
other points, and by shutdown it is con-
6dently expe, ted that pontoon bridges will
be erected at all places where the necessities
of traffic demand. 1t is 'act probably not
generally known that the great govern
ment of the Uni ed States owns only 500 feet
of pontoon bridges, and that these are the
same that were used by the federal forces
In the civil war, twenty five years ago.
The bridges that are to be used at Johns
town were brought from West Point and
Willets Point, where they have been for
years used in ordinary course of instruction
of military and engineer corps.

was held at the United States legation on
call in the morning papers by Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid. the United States minister, to express
the sympathy of the Americans in Paris

many went away unable to gain admit
lance.
Mr.. Reid was called to the chair and Mr..
Ernest Lambert was appointed secreatry.
Resolutions were adopted and about 3d.
900 was subscribed on the spot. The Ameri-
can bankers all agreed to open subscriptions

PrTsBURG, Pa, June S.-The contrlbu-
tions are coming IN rapidly for the relief of
the Johnstown sufferers. It is estimated
at the chamber of commerce that $500, 600
has been subscribed. Among the heavy
contributors are: Andrew Carnegie, George
WESTINGHOUSE and the Standard Oil COM
pany, who gave $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000
respectively. Chairman McCreery of the

for thirty days with all modern appliances
to clear the wreck 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
