ghastly find. In some instances il Il
necessary 20 inter body within few
hours while others can safely be pre-
served several days. Every possible op
portunity is afforded for Identification.
One body found was that of girl Of II
years Of age, who was terribly bruised
and her face crushed into jelly.
Dynamlting the Debris.
Arthur Kirk Is gradually proving that
he knew what he was talking about
when he said that dynamite was the
only proper material to use in removing
the debris above the railroad bridge.
Hitherto no has been very much
cramped in his work by scarcity Of ex-
plosives, but now \ big supply OF cart.

The great mass Of wreckage In gradually
becoming loOsened. There is such !
vast quantity Of it. however, that weeks
win be required to remove all. The
rapidly falling waters is acting as an
impediment TO the work, as the river Is
already quite shallow in places. IL it
gets much lower there will not be
enough water to float the heavy logs.
Many Bodies Cannot I3e Rsoovered.
This debris is one OF the chief points
of interest now, as il Is undoubtedly the
most dangerous pestilence breeding
place i'm the whole flooded district. All
efforts 70 remove the remaining bodies
buried beneath it have been abandoned.
The pile has been gone over several
times, and all the corpses that could be
reached have been taken out. There
are still several hundred in the wreck.
but they are too deeply imbedded in the
mass to be recovered, and there is no
other alternative but TO destroy them.
Everybody acknowledges this now and
there will be no more hindrance 10 the
work.
Hosting Engines at Work.
Booth & Flynn's big hoisting engines
were started ON the Johnstown end Of
the big wreck. They are making good
progress and are working gradually In
the direction of Arthur Kirk and his
dynamiters. Directly across the creek
from them Is gang of 125 Altoona men
and many from other places with picks
and shovels loosening the debris and
burning it. All the Altoona men are
under the direct control of James Gard
ner, a practical lumberman. and one
who has had large experience IN this
sort of work.
The big brick school building on the
point commenced to crack and gang Of
workmen was put to shoveling the mud
from the floors and putting props under
it. The building is a valuable one, but
is likely damaged SO badly that it will
have to be torn down.
KernvilIe's Ruin.
KernvilIe was thickIy populated and
the whole lower end of the town has
been destroyed. Not one of every fifty
buildings standing are ON the original
foundations. The bodies that are being
taken out are so badly decomposed they
cannot be identified. Al. BradingeF.
superintendent of the Grand View GEM
etery, sent message to DIR. Beall, IN
charge Of the morgue, that no more
bodies would be received there except
those for permanent burial.
The Pennsylvania Children's Aid so
ciety, of Philadelphia, is represented
here. Their object is to find al the
orphans and homeless waits and obtain
homes for them.
