 JoHNsrowN, Pa., June 9-About ffty-eight bodies were taken out of the ruins to-day, the tenth day since the disaster. They were all fast advanced in decomposition. The work of clearing away the debris is progress ing very encouragingly. The workmen were not required to proceed today, but nine- tenths of them volunteered to continue. As a result large inroad was made on the drift in the central portion of the city. Main street, which was the principal thoroughfare and one of the worst blockaded is now about cleared. At the wreckage above the stone bridge the work is going on slowly. The force is small and the difficulties great. Arr thur Kirk, who has been using dynamite blasts to separate the drift suspended opera tions o-day. A considerable force continued to use pike poles and cleared few feet. This has been quiet day in and about Johnstown owing to the fact that the Penn- gylvania and Baltimore & Ohio roads refuse to run trains from Pittsburg or other impor- tant points nearer than Bolivar on the for mer and Lock wood on the latter road. This kept out large influx of excurs ionists and left the field clear to the workers.
 CHURCH SERVICES HELD IN THE OPEN AIR.
 Church services were held at various points 2ho rr6a the church buildings remained had regular services. In Johnstown open air meetings were held at various points. Chaplain Ma guire of the Fourteenth infantry held regi- mental service in the morning and spoke at an open air meeting in the afternoon. The hot weather is telling on the workmen. With the fires that are constantly kept burn- ing to burn up the rubbish, and the broiling sun, many of them were exhausted before evening.
 Governor Beaver arrived this morning about 4 o'clock. He spent the day in visit- ing the ruined portions of the city and in driving up the Conemaugh valley. He held & conference this afternoon with the commit tee heretofore in charge, and as result will assume control on Wednesday morning.

 WORK AT THE HOSPITALS.
 The two large hospitals here, the Cambria and the Bedford, have but little to do now but the large corps of physicians are kept very busy. At the Cambria hospital are six teen persons injured by the flood. Since the flood over 500 persons have received the at tention of the physicians at this institution, directly or indirectly caused by the flood. Several women who nursed some of the in jured became i'll and one of them may not recover.
 At the Bedford hospital S62 injured per- sons were cared for and were taken to Pitts burgh hospitals. Only three patients were brought to the hospital today. They re- ceived slight injuries while at work clearing away the debris. Over 600 persons were fur nished medicine and attendance by those in charge.
 The tent hospitals have been practically abandoned as none of them have had case for several days. The health of the valley is good notwithstanding reports of threatened epidemics. The following has been issued by the State board of health and speaks for itself:-

No epidemic disease of any The whole region has been divided into convenient districts and each placed under a competent sani- tartan.

 The tower of St. Johns Catholic church was blown up this afternoon. This is the church which caught fire on the eventful Friday night and was burned. The tower stood alone and was a constant menace to passers-by. It was condemned and danger signals placed near it, but as a measure of safety the authori- ties to-day ordered that it be demolished. A charge of dynamite was placed under 1t and the tall tower was soon in a heap of bricks and mortar. There was an impor- tant meeting here to-day at which were present Governor Beaver, Colonel Schoon- maker, wm. MoCreery, H. J. Gourlee, and Jones, Adjutant General Hastings, Reuben Miller and Sheriff MoCsndless. gen. eral discussion of the sitution was had. The governor indulged in long talk reviewing the situation and making many suggestions. William McCreery, chairman of the relief committee, then made long statement, and said he thought 1t time the relief committee
 
 clearing away the debris. The governor said all the necessary money could be raised. That there were 200 men who would become responsible for 5000 each; that he would give his bond to the State treasurer for $1 ,00o, GOO, with those 200 men as bondsmen, and the State treasurer would then pay out the s1, ,OOO,O 900 for the necessary work. When the legislature met the money withdrawn from the treasury could be ap- propriated. He said that the money already subscribed should be used entirely for the relief OF the sufferers, and the money from the state treasurer be used for restoring the vicinity to it's condition before the flood. All debts already contracted for the removal of debris should be paid, but all money paid out for this purpose from the relief fund shall be refunded, so that every cent sub scribed for the relief of the stricken people shall be used for that purpose alone.
