town, Miss II. W. HinCkley aud her
assistant, Miss Cornelia Hancock, are
the heroines OF the hour, Within an
hour after their arrival upon the scene OF
horror, they had established bureau
and were receiving the children aud all
babes that had been orphaned by the
cruel flood and flames. Miss llinCklCy
talked cheeriully Of her work 10 an
Associated Press representative this
morning. eve have been very busy
from the first hour" said she, "and feel
that we have been able to render good
service. Within a few moments we
had received notification Of perhaps a
hundred orphan children, and as the
press was kind enough to send out our
addresses we were In few hours more
In receipt OF offers from all over the
country'to take charge OF some oil tho
little ones. In many cases the
children escorted to us have sub.
sequently had their little hearts
gladdened by the sudden apparition Of
a mother or father who, after all, was
not In the flood, but had found friendly
refuge on the river side miles below.
The scenes OF these joyful meetingsatter
even hone had fed, are such as to almost
tighten the heavy pail that hangs over
this field Of death with which we arc
surrounded. From CleYeland, Indian.
apolis, Alton, Pittsburgh, and in fact
throughout all Pennsylvania and the
eastern States, We have received tele.
grams from societies and families offer.
ing to take charge Of certain numbers Of
the little ones. We received through
the Mayor OF New York a message from
Peaks 4 Watts 0rphanage in New York
city, offering to receive fifty Of the
orphan children. OF course we gladly
accepted the offer. Indeed, We eau re.
spond TO many more such kind oilers.
1t Is yet impossible to estimate how
many children will fall upon our hands,
but 4 will probably run into the hun.
The Associated Press representative
strolled through one Of the Miss HinCk.
ley's little nurseries and found n score OF
little ones playing and laughing gaily,
obvious OF the cruel blow that had been
dealt them. In one group nine children
OF the same family were seen, the oldest
not over 10 years. They were Germans,
and both father and mother had through
the ipsQrhtibleI ways Qf Providence,
found watery grave, while nine little
walls had escaped In the floating debris
Of their humble cottage.

there is great anxiety in regard 10 sani
tary condition, all possible precautions
are being taken and we hope to prevent
any disease until we shall have time e
thoroughly overhaul the wreck, o.
course as fast as each pile OF rubbish Il
searched It's heaped up and the torch ap,
piled, but that Is the only burning that
will be done.
"There will be- general ConAagration,
because in my opinion, there Is no un'
yielding necessity Tor It, All property
that is OF any value is extracted from
these heaps OF debris before the fire Ia
applied and 1t Is certain that no house
will be burned that Is worth repairing,
Naturally In this scene OF general deVas-
tation we do not have all the Considera'
tion for minor matters that we would
have In q local disaster Of less lrighIful
character, Strict orders have been is-
sued this morning, let me say, 10 arrest
any person found throwing rubbish or
dirty water OF any kind into the streets,
not in Johnstown proper, but in the
suburbs. We propose to continue this
work Of searching the wreck until the
miasma becomes so strong as 10 defy
science aud then we may well recede,
! do not believe, however, that that
time will ever come. The greatest
consideration Is being given to this mat
ter Of the recovery OF the dead and treat,
ment OF the bodies alter discovery, !
think an impression has gone abroad
that the dead are being handled here
very much as one would handle cord,
wood, but this Is a great mistake. As
soon as possible after discovery they are
borne from public gaze and taken to the
morgue, where only persons who have
lost relatives or friends are admitted, OF
course the general exclusion Is not ap'
piled to attendants, physicians aud rep
fesentatives OF the press, but 1t Is right
eously applied, to careless sight.seers. We
have no room for sight.seers In Johns.

laborers we want, and OF those we can
hardly have too many"
