REWARD FOR A DEMocRAr.
He Protects Negroes, and Gets on Office
From the Administration.


WASHINGTON, June 5th.-John Vigneaux,
appointed to-day Marshal of the Western
District of Louisiana, is Democrat, and
has always worked with the Democratic
party.
Some time since Vigneaux distinguished
himself by preventing the lynching of q
negro for political reasons, and thereby
gained the enmity of his political asso-
ciates. He became from this time an earn
est advocate of the rights of the negro, and
worked heartily for race equality in the
South. Both Democrats and Republicans
asked for his appointment
The action of the President in appoint
ing him is looked upon as part of policy en-
couraging the formation of new party lines
in the South which shall efface race preiu-
dice and build up an organization fostering
protection principles and building up the
interests of that part of the Union.

A Bureau of Distribution to be Organ
lied for Dispensing Aid,


New YORK, June 5th.-A message re-
ceiyed here to-day from Governor Beaver
of Pennsylvania says: The losses of tim
Der and manufactured lumber at Williams
port will exceed S5,000,000.'
The Governor in the same message saws
Very little money has as yet been paid
out. My present intention is to organize
bureau of distribution based upon
equitable principles, through our State
Board of Charities, which is composed of
men of the highest character and large
means and business ability"
The receipts of cash at the Mayors of
fee in this city to-day aggregate $4,000.
Besides this, over 100000 was subscribed
TO other funds of exchanges and news
papers. Associated Press dispatches from
various points outside of Washington and
Philadelphia, report flood subscriptions
during the day and night about $l20,OOO.

MILLIONS WILL BE NEEDED
To Avert Cruel Suffering Among the Vic
tins of the Flood.

JoHNsTowN (Pa.), June 5th.-Notwith-
standing the fact nearly every prominent
city in the United States is raising funds for
the relief of the Conemaugh sufferers, the
wants of the homeless and afflicted are far
from being alleviated. At the various re-
lief stations to-day the crowd of applicants
vas continuous from morning until night,
and many of the needy were forced to wait
in line for hours before their turn came
and their little portion was allotted out to
them.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars must
pour into this stricken valley if suffering
and privation are to be avoided. Thousands
of people are homeless, and in these de-
vastated homes thousands also lost their
all.
Labor and manufacturing of nearly every
kind is at a stand-still in the valley and
weeks or months must elapse before the
Cambria Iron Works and other industrial
institutions can possibly resume or give
employment.

WORKING IN THE wRECKAGE.
An Army of Volunteers Trying to Bring
Order Out of Chaos,

Order Out of Chaos.
JoHNsTowN (Pa.), June 5th. - Where
Johnstown's principal stores stood last
Friday are now pitched 1000 tents, and be-
fore tomorrow night this number will
probably be doubled. Under this shelter
are accommodated members of the militia
and thousands of workmen, who are try
ing to clear the streets of
THIS WRECKED CITY.
Over 5000 men are thus EMPLOYED in
Johnstown proper, about 1,50O of these
being regular street hands hired by con-
tractors and the others being volunteers.
William Finn, Pittsburg contractor, ar
rived in the wrecked city this morning
and at once took charge of the
ARMY OF LABoRERs.
In an interview he told of the work that
has to be done, and the contractors esti-
mates show more than anything else the
chaotic condition of this city.
ut will take 10000 men thirty dsys to
clear the ground so the streets are passable
and the work of rebuilding can be COM
menced," said he, land | am at a loss
to know how the work is to be done. This
enthusiasm will soon die out and volun-
teers will want to return home. 1t would
TAKE ALL SUMNER
For my men alone TO do what work is
necessary. Steps must be taken, and at
once, to furnish gangs of workmen, and to-
morrow l shall send communication to
the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce
asking the different manufacturers of the
Ohio valley to take turns for a month or
so in furnishing reliefs OF workmen. These
gangs should come for week at a time, as
no organization can be effected if workmen
arrive and leave when they please"
VOLUNTEERS NOBLE WORK.
Volunteers are doing noble work. Nearly
every town in Western Pennsylvania is
represented by from 10 to 100 men, and
many towns in Ohio and New York also
furnish their quota of laborers.

BALTIMORE, June 9Th. = Part of the
money, provisions and clothing collected
here TO be sent to the Johnstown sufferers
will be forwarded to the flooded districts
in western Maryland, where are many sick,
homeless and helpless. Hundreds of peo-
pie are shelterless and almost starving. At
Point of Rocks at least forty families are
utterly destitute and the same is true of
Sandy Hill and other little villages along
the Potomac river, some of which have
been almost annihilated.
Doleful Deaths Record.
JoHNsTowN, June 5th.-Something like
accuracy is being reached in the estimates
of the loss of life, The most conservative
put the number at 10000. Nine hundred
army tents have been divided and two
whitewashed villages now afford shelter to
nearly 5000 homeless people. Talk of re-
building the town has already begun and
it is thought that the great Cambria Iron
Works will be running again in thirty
days.

remarkable state of affairs exists The
first floor has been washed out completely.
and the second, while submerged, was
badly damaged, but not ruined The walls,
floors and pews were drenched, and the
mud has collected on the mating and car
pets an inch deep. Walking is attended
with much difficulty, and the undertakers
and attendants, with their arms barred,
slide about the slippery surface at
tremendous rates. The chancel is filled
with collins, strips of muslin, boards and
all undertaking accessories. Lying across
the tops of the pews are dozen pine boxes,
each containing victim of the flood.
Printed cards are tackled on each of them.
The sex and full description of the en-
closed body is written, with the name, if
known.
LUNCHING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
One of the most ghastly and nauseating
sights to those unaccustomed to scenes of
death is the lunching arrangement for the
undertakers. These men are working so
hard and conscientiously that they have
no time for meals, and huge boilers of
steaming coffee, 'loaves of bread, dried beef
and preserves are carried into the charnel-
house and placed at the disposal of the
workers. Along comes one weary toiler,
his sleeves rolled up, apron in front, and
perspiring profusely, despite the cold,
damp weather. He has Just finished
washing clammy corpse, and has daubed
it with cold water, manipulated it about on
boards, and in the interval, before the body
of another poor wretch is brought in, gets
cup of coffee and sandwich and eats his
lunch with relish, setting his cup occa-
sionally beside the hideous face of a de-
composing corpse, and totally oblivious TO
his horrible surroundings
sUBDUING A CRANK.
At the Fourth Ward school-hcu use, where
most of the undertaking work is done,
there was some slight trouble over the
question of liquor. Rev. Mr.. Beal, of the
Presbyterian Church, has charge of this
morgue, and objected TO the under
takers drinking whisky. Inasmuch as
a man with cast-iron constitution
could not work in this place necessarily
without stimulant of some kind, the under
takers protested against Beal's unreason-
able prejudices, it is said, and threatened
to cease attending the bodies. This had
the effect of modifying Beals temperance
