The general opinion among the best
informed is that the loss of life in the
Conemaugh valley will be between
5000 and 1000. 1t was generally
given out that Johnstown and the
adjoining boroughs had a population
of $4,000, but this is a very high cSti-
mate, and conservative people put the
population at between 5000 and
2S 900. Col. Rogers, who has charge
OF the registration, states that from all
he can learn the population only
amounted to about $1,000, and this
accounts tor the 10000 people supposed
to be lost. The reports sent IA to the
effect that from II. 900 to Is, 900 people
were missing were uased upon the
s%upposition that there were $4,000
inhabitants in these boroughs. The
reports as TO the number of bodies
recovered at different points along the
flooded districts are very conflicting
and put the number of bodies recovered
anywhere from 1000 to 1900. Conse-
quently there is no telling how many
bodies have been recovered.
