THE ENoRNITY OF 1T


The enoFmity OF the devastation
wrought by the Copemaugh flood Is be-
coming more and more apparent with
every effort OF the laborers to, resolve
order out or chaos, Over one hundred
men have been all day engaged In m
effort TO clear passage from the death
bridge upward through the sea Of debris
that blocks the Conemaugh for nearly
half a mile, Every ingenuity known
10 man has been resorted to by
this crew, The giant power OF dy-
at frequent intervals the explosions
reyerberated through the valley, and
sticks, stones and logs would fly high in
the air, >Gradually a few OF the heaviest
tlmbers were demolished and the frag-
mentA permitted 10 float downward
through the center arch, At nightfall,
however, the clear space above the
bridge did not exceed an area OF sixty
feet In length by forty feet in width,
When one reflects that fully twenty-five
acres are 10 be cleared In this way, the
task aheadseems interminable Butthere
10 no royal road and II the
hundreds or thousands Of bodies be-
meath these blaGkened ruins are to be
recovered for Christian burial, the labors
of to-day must be continued with in
creased yigor. There are many consery-
ative minds that recommend the use OF
torch In this work Of clearing the river,
but they are not among the sufferers,
and when such Counsels are heard by
those whose wives, children, sisters or
brothers rest beneath this sea Of flotsam
and ietsam, the suggestion OF cremation
meets a wild furor Of objection.
NO HOPE.
1t Is only in Difference to the unrea.
soning mandate Of grief that the hercu-
lean labor Of clearing the river by means
OF the dynamite and the derrick Is per.
sisted in. There 10 no hope In the calmer
minds that this task can be pursued to
tho end. The progress Of to-day is
hardly disCernable, and ere two moro
days have elapsed there is little doubt
tho emanations Of putrld bodies will
have become so frightful as to
drive the hardest workman from the
scene. Until that time arrives, how.
syer, there Is no hope that this grief
stricken populace will abandon the
hope OF again gazing upon the
orms OF the loved ones whose lives
vent out in tho fire and flood OF the
Jonemaugh. The pleadings OF santa.
ians and the logic Of engineers alike fail
o lnd an echo in the minds OF the
,rieving and afflicted, but in few days
he sterner logic Of nature will assert
tself and In the isCs OF impossibillty tho
ask OF cremation will bepome Chris.

the authorities TO apprehend that thelI
worst fears may yet be realized, and the
death roll will amount well up into the
five figures, Visits to several OF the

plies to them, indicate that the proper

FEATURES OF THE DAY,
One Of the features Of the day was the
arrival Of large number Of lie and aC'
cidentinsurance agents. Fully one hum
dred Of them arrived, and they are hard
at work looking up the victims who were
insured In the different companies. Very
little information can be procured yet
as there Is really no official list OF the
identified dead, and even II there was
there are so many people who cannot
be identified that there Is little or no
hope for the insurance agents getting
anything like complete list, Another
feature In the arrivals to-day Is the mum
ber Of professional and amateur photo.

On every hill side and At places among
tho ruins cameras can be'seen in attend,
