 A Arequest has been made that the may ors of all cities and towns along the rivers between Pittsburg and New Or leans send descriptions of any bodies that they may find in the rivers to Gen. Hastings at Johnstown.
 The bureau of registration has com pleted it's work, and hands the official re- port to Director Scott as follows: Re maining survivors. 15,67s.

 They were in a horrible condition, and three buckets of disenfectant were used on them. Tho bodies were found by the workmen in the debris near the bridge. The cause of the decrease in the number of bodies recovered is due to the fact that there Is almost complete suspen- sion of work. 1 The two busiest men in Johnstown yesterday were Gen.
