INCREASE THE SUM.

dlspatch from William McCreery. Pres
ident OF the Board of Commerce of Pitts
burg, Penn, to the effect that the scenes of
horror and desolation at Johnstown are
impossible to describe. He adds that what
Is Immediately essential is money for the
relief OF the sufferers. 1t will thus be seen
that the need is great and that Sacramento
has by no means fulfilled her duty. There
are hundreds of our citizens most able to
respond who have not yet contributed to
the relief fund who will certainly do so TO-
day or tomorrow. We hope to publish to-
morrow very much longer list of contrib
utors and greater aggregate of money.

VIEW or YOUNGSTOWN.
E J. Devlin. whose family had many
relatives in the fsted city, is the owner of (
Photographic bircs-eye view of Jobustowr
and vicinity. BY request of many friend.
he yesterday placed it on view in the show
window of Weinstock, Lubin & Co. 1t car
be seen there for 8 few days 1t gives ,
very good idea of the place of the chief dis
aster. The picture dissipates a common
error; that is that Cambria CITY, Johns
town, Conemaugh, Burrough, Kernyill,
and one or two other towns are consider
ably apart from each other. The view
shows that they are all practically on,
town, a marrow stream in one case, stree
in another alone separating the towns. a
few notes of explanation at the foot of tn.
