KERNvILLE, June 15.-This borough of
Johnstown is rising up out of the debris as
fast as the united efforts of 1000 men under
the State contractors can clear away the
wreck. Clean streets and repaired houses
here and there show the rapid progress made
in the past week, but it will take some time
before the town will look anything like it
did before the flood From the upper part,
called Grubbtown, to South street, nearly
all traces of the overflow have been removed,
and every place is easily accessible, but
below that section the streets are impass-
able. The heavy rains of the past two days
have played sad havoc with some of the
thoroughfares, and turned the huge piles of
dirt, bricks and stones into pools of slush
knee deep.
A Few Weeks More to Work,
Colonel Douglass, chief engineer, speak
ing to-day of the work going on in Kern
vile under his direction, said: "All ave-
nues of communication will be opened about
Wednesday, and in few weeks everything
will be in good shape for the residents to
get about with ease and comfort. The
probable cost, in my estimation, will be in
the neighborhood of 200.
The dynamite discharges at the stone
bridge are shaking up things, and caused
one house which had been condemned to
crash to the ground. Minor wrecks from
similar causes are reported, but none are of
a serious nature. Corpses are hauled out of
the mass OF fallen buildings every day, and
up to date 124 bodies have been taken to the
morgue at the corner of South and Napoleon
streets. Some were claimed by relatives
f.sa
tered at Prospect Hill. William Park
and family OF five were all found in the
ruins of Swank. Son & Co.'s large brick
hardware building, which was carried by
the flood from the corner of Main and Bed
ford streets, in Johnstown, to Kernville,
distance of three-quarters of mile.
Wants of the People Relieved.
The wants of the people are well looked
missary on Napoleon street. The attendants
are kept busy supplying $500 people daily
with provisions, but they have liberal
stock to draw from, and there is no dearth
of any goods. The department will close on
Sunday, and no distributions will be made
until Monday.
Admirable care has been taken of the sick,
and the Red Cross Society is doing noble
work in its tents, pitched at the top of the
hill. Patients are brought on the pleasant
heights to prevent the spread of the con-
taglous diseases treated by the Red Cross
physicians. The number of cases is happily
decreasing. and the past week only three
diphtheria and one measles patient have been
treated, and they are all reported to be on
the fair road to recovery. There is no dam
ger of an epidemic and the fears of the peo-
Pile are set at rest. This morning Drs.
Bacon, W. G. Lott, James Mitchell and two
nurses, all of Philadelphia, arrived in Kern
vile to relieve the other Philadelphia corps.

prevented him from attending to many
matters which he had left unfinished. The

gentlemen before leaving, he is forced to re-
main until Monday evening, when he will
go direct to Beaver.
Chairman Andrews. of the Republican
State Committee, spent considerable por-
tion of the day in company with Senator
Quay, and together they visited a number
of minor officials of the departments, but
nothing more was accomplished than a
further discussion of a number of applica-
tions for office. Chairman Andrews left for

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Although the
text of the Berlin compact. now on its way
to Washington in the custody of Mr..
Phelps, is not yet published, its basis has
evidently been allowed to become known as
if to ascertain the popular opinion upon
it. Alike in Germany, England and
the United States, this opinion shows
that our country has achieved
great success This result is more due to
the firm and inexorable attitude of Mr..
Blame than to. any political leanings of
England toward the power which it
is her highest aim to conciliate.
The Germans, accustomed to the
Chsncellor's autocratic control of their
foreign policy already console themselves
with the assumption that q settlement of the
diplomatic controversy. even at loss, will
yet leave them free to further augment the
commercial preponderance which they un-
questionablY now have at Samoa.
The main feature secured by our COM
missioners in the new plan for governing
Samoa is a recognition of the independence
of the Samoan nation. This recognition Mr..
Bayard. had unsuccessfully sought to OBJ
tain in the Washington conference Of 1887,
ter Pendleton shows. His predecessors in the
State Department had always insisted upon.
Samoan autonomy, and Mr.. Cleveland's
administration had received that policy by
inheritence. But the German representa-
tion IN the conference insisted that Germany
should have sole control of Samoa on ac-
count of the weakness of the native Gov
ernment.
The present recognition of'the right Of
the natives to autonomy with the free
choice OF their King and Vice King, must
therefore be considered the main fruit of the
Berlin conference. The report of the Ger
man special commission Mr.. Travers made
to Prince Bismarck December 8,
1886, had insisted that the govern
ment of the country must be placed in
the hands of but one of the treaty powers, by
the consent of the others, and that Germany
must be that power. America and Ger
many will now stand on level, while En-
gland will act as arbitrator in case of dis
agreement or give the casting vote.

LONDON, June 15.-The latest scheme
for honoring the memory of Father Damien
is the establishment of ward for leprous
patients attached to one of the Lon
don hospitals and named after the
heroic priest. The scheme has aroused
much opposition, especially among physi-
clans, who are busy proving in the newspa-
pers that its only effect would be to attract
a swarm of lepers to London.
At present there are only 20 known
lepers in England, and these are isolated
and will be cared for. Foreign lepers are
told they had much better remain each in
his own country, and the argument that
the proposed ward would enable
doctors to study the disease, is
declared worthless, inasmuch as there are
books from which students can learn all
they can possibly require to know. A lot
of learned men met the other night in the
rooms of the archaeological Society here
and gloated over a couple of lepers who
had been induced to make an exhibition OF
themselves in the interest of science.
One was a lady, whom the awful disease
had made quite blind, and the other was an
old man, who, to casual observer, looked
like any other old man, but he has already
lost several fingers and is in palsied con-
dition generally. The poor creatures were
pulled about, their spIttle examined under
the microscope, while the learned ones
talked in their hearing of the hopelessness
of curing the disease. Altogether the ex-
hibition was not a pleasant one, and an at
tempt to repeat it will evoke decided pro-
test

PHILADELPHIA, June 15.-During the
past week the Record has made careful
poll of the voters in many of the large in
dustrial establishments of the city on the
prohibition amendment, and to-day it gives
the result of its work to its readers. Ten
thousand one hundred and torty-four voters
were polled by the Record reporters. Oithat
number 2,034 declared in favor of the
amendment, 6,966 said they would vote
against 1t, 619 are doubtful and ga will not
vote.
The poll has been conducted will
great care, and only those who are
entitled to vote are included in the tables
which follow. Another excellent feature
of the poll is that it covers very wide
range. 1t takes in steel workers, iron
workers, carpet weavers, cigar makers, car
drivers and conductors, rope makers, boot
and shoe makers, sugar reiners, clerks and
statesmen in wholesale houses, and the
workers in many other industries and
branches of trade. It is without doubt the
best indication of the sentiment existing
among the people upon the prohibition
question.
HOW WORKERS WILL VOTE.
Here is a table which shows how the
workers in the different industries stand
upon the amendment:

LONDON, June 15.-The Emperor of Rus

married in st. Petersburg to Princess Alex
andra, of Greece. In honor of the event
there will be goings on here in London and
all over Europe. Last night the young man
entertained all the unmarried officers of his
Hussar Regiment of Life Guards at ia re-
well bachelors party which Russians call
malchism. The heir to the throne was
there, and 20 gypsy men and women sang in
the park, which was lighted with electrici-
ty, and the affair seems to have been very
successful, especially as regards the amount
drank by the loyal and enthusiastic officers.
The Maharajah Holkar, who was here for
the jubilee, and as informed you at the
time. fell in love with a red-cheeked Brook
lyn girl, giving her many costly shawls
and jewels, is coming back to Europe again

admirer as "such nice man that it was a
pity he should be colored."

annals of crime Fourteen years ago
he insured his wife for $4,000. A
few weeks after she was killed by a
horses kick, Hoyos said, but it was proved
he had Just previously bought horseshoe
and fastened it to the end of mallet He
was q man of enormous physical strength,
and there is little reason to doubt that he
killed the woman with the strange weapon,
but Hoyos was acquitted in the absence OF
actual proof.
The following year he killed Belgian
judge, but again escaped punishment, owing
to imperfect evidence. After term of i'm
prisonment for forgery he went to France,
where for years he lived q mysterious life,
constantly changing his name. In 1885 he
returned to Belgium, was convicted OF
swindling and sent to prison Tor Two
years AT the expiration OF this
sentence he returned to Paris with young
lady whom he had persuaded to elope with
him. He finally deserted the girl, became
a land steward and was dismissed for at
tempting to strangle a gamekeeper: Then
he advertised himself as a childless
widower, strong, handsome, amlable, well
connected, having loo, 900 francs and seek
ing youth, beauty and good means.
Failing to obtain a well-dowered bride
Hoyos resolved upon the crime for which
he will probably lose his head. He insured
his life in various Offices for quarter of
million dollars, found a man named Louis
Rarron nhvs1callv resembling himself
killed him and placed his body on rail
way line, where it was fo1nd mutilated
beyond recognition. In the murdered mans
pockets were various documents belonging
to Hoyos and will drawn up by the muir
derer, leaving everything to Louis Barron.
The victim was buried as Hoyos, and then

Fortunately he did not prove as effective an
actor as a murderer, and suspicious having
been aroused, Hoyos was arrested.
