the wreck was vigorously continued to-
day above the bridge. With nearly
every shot bodies were found, but they
were so much decomposed that
Identification was almost impossible.
The body of young lady, supposed to be
the daughter of John Linton was re-
covered this evening. One of the sad
sights Of the day was the recovery Of
the body Of woman and an infant
lying closely together. The mother
was badly burned and decOmpOsed.
The baby had evidently been born in
the water, and was fairly well pre-
served. as the flames had not
reached 1t. The part of the
mothers head that had escaped burn
ing was almost entirely eaten away by
worms: At 4:3O o'clock this evening
Jacob Deiler. a laDOrer from Newark,
n. Y. was fatally injured by the fall
ing of derrick. One of the dynamite
shots cut the guy ropes holding the der
rick in position, allowing it to
fall. Deiler was cut about the
head, legs broken and injured
internally. DIR. Wakefield, who is
in charge of Kernville, said to-day that
there was considerable sickness in that
place. due to exposure more than to any
other cause. The afflicted refuse to go
to the hospitals and are being cared for
by those whose homes were not carried
away. Contractor Finn said this even
ing that on Monday he would discharge
thirteen time-keepers and 500 men and
send to Pittsburg eleven of the hosting
engines he has in use. The men will pro-
badly be hired Dy other contractors, and
not permitted to leave here. The fact
that nearly all of the saloons in Johns
town. Cambria City, and surrounding
DOrOughS were again in operation. has
caused much annoyance TO General
Hastings, and those in charge of the
works. Judge Johnston to-day tele-
graphed from Ebeneburg, ordering that
no intoxicating liquors be sold
in. any of the boroughs or
adjoining township for the present. or
to comply with the order will be deemed

future by the court. To-day, while

debris from livery stable near the

cued living cat, which had evidently
been imprisoned there since the day of
the flood. 1t was veritable skeleton,
its neck being no thicker than mans
finger. The feline was carried to Red
Cross hospital, where it was kindly
cared for and christened ''Red
Cross Flood" 1t will recover
and is attracting much attention.
An order was issued to-day suspending
all work tomorrow, and the day will be
given up to attending religious services
and rest. Several of the workmen en-
gagged in clearing out cellars to-day
were sickened by the horrible stencil,
and compelled to quit work temporarily.
1t has been determined that the Four
teenth regiment now doing guard
and police duty will remain
here until there is no longer any need
for the militia. Twenty-one bodies
were recovered to-day. Two were
identified as Miss Harmon and Annie
Lenhart. Late this evening oil was
poured over the piles of wreckage and
fires lighted to consume as much as
possible by Monday.
