JoHNsTowN, June 12-To-dag the general
aspect of things in Johnstown has been very
business like. The people have now come to
the conclusion that they have director who
intends to push things in a methodical. but
satisfactory manner, and in order to hasten
the work Of restoration they were exercising
unusual energy to-day in putting their houses
into shape. Stores of all kinds are being
opened up along the most prominent streets,
and the people might easily be induced to
spend money If they only had some A kind of
novelty in Johnstown is grocery store with
very fine display OF fresh vegetables and fruit
standing outside.
A number of private houses are ready for oc-
cupation, and good many people have moved
back into their residences, but the State Board
of Health has issued another circular, in which
the people are advised to get out of the city.
Quite large number of tents have been put
up out of the town in the hill districts, and the
people are moving there as rapidly as possible.
The Board of Health has given its advice as a
precautionary measure, against contagious
disease. The most of the houses, even those
that are damaged to great extent. are flled
with mud. There is dirt in the cellars. ana in
some cases even up TO the second story. This
has caused peculiar damp and unwholesome
atmosphere to pervade the houses which, it is
feared, might result in disease.
Upon every street in Conemaugh the sound
of the hatchet and hammer could be heard TO-
day. Those who had their houses washed away
have already began to build new ones. There
is little sickness in the place. DIR. Pringle
stated to-day that while the physicians had all
they could attend to, there was no danger of
infection from any contagious disease. He
said that should an epidemic break out it would
sweep the valley, as the constitutions of the
people were SO run down that they were in good
condition to contract disease. There are two
sanitary hospitals in the place.

Machinery, Dropped Castings and Car
Horses Add to the MANNED.
Yesterday seems to have been an unlucky
one, from the number of accidents reported.
In the morning l. Drum, an employe at Shoen-
berger's mill, was caught in the machinery and
crushed so badly that death will probably
ensue. A 2year-old child Of John Escherick,
OF Twenty-seventh street, had its leg crushed,
near Its home by wagon backing on the
pavement and running over the child.
In the afternoon Mike Machufski, an en-
ploye at Oliver & Roberts wire mill, on the
Southside, spilled q can of vitriol on his leg
and was very painfully burned.
Edward Burk, laborer at the Edgar Thom-
smashed while engaged In moving some heavy
castings, and was brought to Mercy Hos
pital.
George Smith. aged years, was amusing
himself by climbing the lamp-post at the
corner of Wylle avenue and Elm street. When
about five feet high he let go, falling to the
ground, striking his head against the curb
stone and fracturing his skull. He was carried
to his home, No. 70 Elm street. when DR.. Hiett
was called and dressed the boys head. His re-
covery is doubtful.
Last evening Willie Levy, a boy years Of
age was playing on Wylie avenue, near Tun-
mel street, when car No. on the Central Trac-
tion Railroad was coming down the hill. Be-
fore the driver could stop the car the horses
knocked the hoy down and the front wheel
passed over his right foot, crushing and break
ing several bones. He was carried to his home
near by.
terday afternoon on Penn avenue, near Six
teenth street, while climbing of the back end
of wagon. He was taken to his home, on

JOHN sTowN, June 13-General Hastings,
while making his usual evening report to the
press correspondents tonight, stated that he
was thoroughly satisfied with the work accom-
plished to-day, and from the opportunities he
had had of observing them, he feels sure Of
the efficiency and thorough capabil1ty Of the
men to overcome the difficulties of their heavy
task.
"And regarding the people generally" the
General continued, 'let me answer you, boys
that will be only too grateful if you will let
me know where anybody abuses or annoys the
people. No matter who he IS, will put him on
his head in very few minutes 1t is my in
tentlon to have everything go along in a
smooth, harmonious manner and if this cannot
be done want to know the reason why. That
is ALL"
Speaking further on the days events, he
said:
This days work is a good indication of what
my men are made of. Every stroke of the pick
and every revolution of a cart wheel has been
systematic. The result of this is shown in the
clearing up of the debris above the stone
bridge. The channel has been cleared to-day
more than any three days before. Tonight the
torch was applied, and we will make quick
work of the remainder. When the commissary
departments complete their stations the sys-
TEN will work admirably, am sure Provisions
and clothing are coming in at a satisfactory
rate, and there is no immediate prospect of
diminution.
II have instructed all the commissary
people to be generous in dealing out supplies.
Where there Is any question they will give the
applicant the benefit of the doubt. To-day we
have been feeding good many of the men,
but every cent Of it is being charged up against
them. The soldiers are also taking supplies
from the commissary department, but this is
all charged to the State. and as soon as get to
Harrisburg will make out warrant for the
amount in favor of the relief fund"

HUNGRY FOR SAND.
The Peculiar Famine Among Glass Facto-
ries-AlI on Account of the FIOod-SOme
Have Shut Down MS n ResuIt.


A peculiar trouble resulted from the food
1t is partial famine in sand among. the glass
factories. Two-thirds of all the factories in
Pittsburg, Tarentum, Rochester, Wheeling,
Bellaire and Wellsville get their supply of sand
from along the Juniata river. The mountains
there furnish fine white rock, which is ground
into the best grade of sand used for table glass.
When the Pennsylvania Railroad was wrecked
by the food two weeks ago the daily shipments
from the Juniata to Pittsburg were suddenly
cut off. Since then none has been received
here.
The freight officials Of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad the past few days have instituted in
quiry among the glassworkers to ascertain
how near out of sand they were. If they can
not hold out until the Pennsylvania Railroad
is rebuilt in the food districts then the officials
proposed to ship thesand east from Hunting
don to Harrisburg. north from there to Will
Transport and Driftwood, and thence to Pitts
burg over the Low Grade division of the ALLIE
gheny Valley Railroad.
They found that most of the factories in the
city and suburbs either had short supply left
or had been borrowing sand from one another.
A two weeks stock of sand at the factories.
however. had been well nigh exhausted. 1t
was learned that quite number of the larger
factories would have to suspend operations un-
less more sand arrived within a week.
The Thompson Glass Works. CIniontown,
have shut down on account of the sa nd supply
This factory has only been in operation few
weeks. The Homestead correspondent of the
Glass Budget also writes that the Windsor
factory in that place has had to shut down be-
cause of scarcity of sand.
Abel, Smith & Co. get their sand from Ohio
but are short on saltcake and lime. and will
have to get some of the latter at once from
other points to keep the factory going until
July1 /.
D. Cunningham & Co. and S. Mckee & Co.,
have been short, but are now getting it over the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

EVERY INCH A MAN.
Another of the Unwritten Heroes of the
Flood Turns Up.
IFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT

IFHOM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June 13-One of the unwritten
heroes of the flood is William Williams, of
Philadelphia. who. alone and unaided. has res
cued % bodies from the food. Mr.. Williams is
rigger by trade, and, on hearing of the dis
aster, he at once packed up large kit Of tools
and started for Johnstown, and has since de-
voted his energies. night and day, to recovering
the dead and assisting the living. He has
neither asked nor received any favors from the
authorities, paid his own fare here, and has
provided his own sustenance until within few
days. when the officers of the Red Cross Society.
who had personally witnessed his rescue of II
bodies from their immediate vicinity, insisted
on his making their headquarters his own.
Mr.. Williams is a typical American, proud of
his ability TO aid, and yet extremely modest in
receiving credit therefor. DR.. O'Neill, Chief of
the Red Cross medical staff, says: HE is a
man, every inch of him, brave almost to reck-
lessness, yet bashful as a girl in receiving
praise. have watched his daring recovery of
bodies from the flood and wreckage. with
mingled admiration and horror. No praise is
too great, no adulation too strong, for this
noble man. who has, at great sacrifice to him.
self, been of such aid to the sufferers here"

BERLIN, June 13.-The American Com
missioners to the Samoan conference have
received instructions from Mr.. Blaine,
Secretary of State. in relation to the protocol
drawn up by the Conference. Mr.. Blaine disa-
grees with several provisions of the protocol,
and also is of opinion that England and Ger
many have not gone far enough in re-
spect to the rights conceded to the
United States. The conference had a
sitting to-day to receive Mr.. Blaine's reply
The English and German commissioners will
afterward consider Mr.. Blaine's objections and
decide upon what policy they shall pursue and
upon the attitude which they adopt depends
the continuance of the conference.
Judging from what has passed, and especially
in view of the American declarations, the COM
missioners have probably large amount Of
work still before them. 1t is likely the regular
sittings of the conference will be resumed.
There is a material difference of opinion on
various points between the three Powers.

Some Villain Throws n Live Cartridge at the
Grand Old Man.
LONDON, June l3.-Mr. Gladstone met
with an adventure to-day. While passing
through the town of Wadebridge, in Corn
wall, missile. which is believed to have been a
live cartridge, was thrown at his carriage. Mr..
Gladstone was not hit, nor was he much dis
turbed by the incident. but some think it was
an attempt upon his life, and are looking for
the man who threw the missile.
The police discredit the story of the throwing
of cartridge at Mr.. Gladstone. II anything
was thrown, they say, the thrower was guilty
of nothing more than perpetrating badly
conceived practical joke. The missile did not
touch the carriage and no stop was made
Three persons pointed ont man whom they
said was the thrower. They hesitated about
formally identifying him, however, and no ar
rest was made.

ACCIDENT Or INTENT.
A soufhsIde Boy Either Fell or Was Pushed
Under a Trniu.

Andrew Vogel was one of a number of chill
dren who came down the hill from st. Michaeps
school at about $50 yesterday and stopped to
play on the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
Railroad at the head Of South Twelfth street.
Soon a construction train came along, and as it
was passing the children cried out that young
Vogel was killed. When the train had passed
it was found that the boys right arm and his
left leg below the knee were horribly mangled.
The patrol wagon conveyed him to the new
Southside Hospital, where Drs. Arnholt and
Dickenson attended him.
During the interval the pluclSy little fellow
told the doctors that while quarreling with
Swedish boy named August Weuschausnapsi
about slate pencil the Swede pushed him un-
der the cars Inspector McKelvey instituted
inquiries about the affair only to get a number
of Yariously differing statements to the effect
that the young Swede seemed to be helping
Vogel to get on the train and did not push him.
The boys arm and leg were amputated, and at
10 o'clock last night, though he was resting
quietly, the doctors had no hope of his recov-
cry. No attempt was made to arrest the Swede
how.
