altering, who had failed, through a sense
hi dsliCacy, to apply for aid. The humility
III seeking relief is removed by the system
now introduced. The expectation is that

thirty eight bodies were recovered to-day,

THE STATE TO TAKE HOLD.
JoHNsrowN, Pa, June 11.-This is the
last day for clearing away the effects of the
food by the local civil authorities. To-mor-
row the state takes hold OF the stupendous
work.
The horror OF the situation is not dimin-
shsd but rather grows. The search for the
dead continues, and in all sections and dl-
Nctions the dead are being found: A num-
Der Of bodies are now coming to the surface
OIthe waters and competent judges say as
many more bodies as have been found are
Wing somewhere. In many unexpected
places bodies are hourly beingfound. Where
this will end one car only guess.
The day opened rainy, but as the day ad.
BnCed the sun came out, and the morning
hours were hot and muggy. Many work
men are leaving because they will not work
br 81 so q day, which the state proposes
Npay. 1t is believed there will be a tenn.
pOfary stoppage of work on this account.
