JoHNsTowN, June ls,-The genera
opinion among well-posted people here
is that the loss OF life will be between
1000 and 5000.
It was generally given out that Johns
town and dboroug ghs adjoining had d pop
ulation Of about $1,000 people, but this
is a very high estimate, and conservative
people put the population between
90, 900 and 2s,0OO.
Col, Rogers, who has charge Of the
registration, states that from all he can
learn the population only amounted To
about 25,000 and this accounts for 10,-
900 people who were supposed to be
lost.
The reports sent out from here TO the
effect that 1900 to $1,000 were missing
were based upon the supposltion that
there were 5000 inhabitants in
these boroughs. The reports as TO the
number Of bodies recovered at different
points along the flooded districts are
very conflicting. = q q "--''-Nf

says: zone Of the most important and
startling statements in connection with
the Cronin murder, was made yesterday
by Mr.. jack Stanley, oithO city sewerage
department, 10 two friends, T. p. 0'Con-
nor and Michael Hart. The converse.
ton was about Woodruff who is sup.
posed to have driven the wagon with
tho trunk containing Cronin's body.
Stanley, in reply TO n question from
Hart, said that he knew Woodruff from
the fact that hO worked at Deans livery
stable OH Webster avenue, where he
kept his stallion. II was suspicious Of

afraid he would steal my horse or take

his board. lie was frequently seen in
