for More Supplies.
Mr.. W. D. Stevenson, of the Oil Exchange,
returned from Johnstown about $50 last night
In short chat while eating his supper at the
Petroleum Exchange restaurant he said: All
the aid that can possibly be sent can
not come amiss. The newspapers do not
exaggerate the scenes one bit Tits Just over
whelming. TIE survivors cannot do anything
for themselves. They are wounded, bruised,
dazed by loss and helpless. They cannot help
themselves for weeks and must trust to gem
erous public, or many Of them will perish from
want and exposure.
The Relief Committee are Quartered in the
hall of the Johnstown String Band. At first
they were almost wild waiting for supplies,
which were late in coming, but soon direct
communication was had with Pittsburg aud
supplies arrived over the Baltimore ana Ohio
Railroad
The dead were gathered together, and If rec
ognized by relatives we're carried away More
often whole family was swept away to awful
doom and none were left to mourn, none to
perform the last sad rites. In little cemetery

Save Their Mother.
Engineer A. L McClue, of Conemaugh. was
in town yesterday. He said that his wife and
three daughters were among the drowned.
With tears in his eyes he said that the children
might have saved themselves. because the
neighbors told them to clear out when the
food was running down the hill.
Their mother, however, was sick in bed, and
when the girls realized that they could not
save their mother also, they went upstairs into
her room, closed the doors and stayed with her
to meet the death which they knew was slowly
but surely overtaking them. Thus they ali
perished.
