JoHNsrowN, Pa, June 1O.-Another wet and
close morning in this valley. When day broke
the scene was dismal to depressing degree, a
penetrating drizzle came down and made
everything wet and slippery. The thousands
OF men moved to their places of work with a
half unwilling manner that argued poorly for
heavy days work. When the whistle Of the
Cambria shops sounded at o'clock this morn
ing, the whole place was awake and the smoke
from the many camp fires and burning debris
made heavy cloud that rested over the entire
valley, almost hiding it from view from
the hills. Soon the entire valley was
alive with its thousands of busy workmen, and
the tenth day of work on this vast undertaking
was begun. There is little change in the gen.
eral situation here to-day, and all the various
departments are moving along in manner
highly satisfactory to the parties in charge.
The stopping of work by the Cambria company
yesterday gave their men a much-needed rest,
and they went to work with much more vigor
than the men employed on the general work.
The same large crowds were ON hand for their
daily rations, and the various commissary sta
tions were the scene of great activity.
THE GREAT QUANTITIES OF DEBRIS
bridge and hoated down stream have formed a
gorge opposite Cambria City, and a number of
men were sent there to-day to remove this as
1t closed the channel stopping the flow of
water and rendering very difficult the work of
removing the wreckage at the stone bridge.
Another consignment of stationary engines
arrived to-day, making ten in all now here.
These are most useful appliances and do the
work OF 20 men in removing the heavy timbers.
lhey were placed in various sections of the
town and did most effective work. One was
put in position on the stone bridge. and in two
hours the work accomplished by it was more
effective than the work of one hundred men for
the last two days. Some heavy timbers that
have defed the efforts of the men to remove
were soon gotten rid of and the channel opened
for considerable distance from the bridge.
The erection of a dynamo by the Westinghouse
Electric company near the PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road freight depot is most necessary work
and any one who has tramped around in the
dark will appreciate the lighting Of the town
last night. In fact every means of convenience
and appliance for speeding the work is being
used here, and each day sees more work accom-
plished than the day before.
THE VISIT OF Gov BEAVER
to this section yesterday has given renewed
hopes to the stricken people. and on all sides
the action taken yesterday is being favorably
commented on. All agree in SAYING the action
taken yesterday was most proper, and will re-
suit in great good to the people i'll this section
and stimulate them. That this action might
have taken place sooner all admit but now
that 1t has been done unfavorable comments on
the movements of the governor have given
place to hearty recommendation of the pro-
posed course, and all is harmony. There is good
feeling and renewed hope for the future OF this
valley. The prompt and effective action by the
governor when he arrived impressed every one
favorably, and especially the PIttsbarg relief
committee. whose representatives went home
we'll pleased to be relieved of the work of re-
moving the debris and restoring order, leaving
to them the accomplishment of the one great
object-the relief of the sufferers.
About o'clock the down-pour became SC
heavy that it seriously interfered with the
work and the men were called from the work tc
some place of shelter; but as soon as the rain
became less hea"y all went to work again. Ar.
rangements have been made by which much
needed supply of fresh meat will be furnished
