THE STONE URIUGE.

II Certainly Saved Many Lives.
On that fateful Friday afternoon {;
DEMOCRAT reporter was at wOIk in the
line of his duty in Cambria and Millvil!,
boroughs, and when the waters of tn,
eservoir struck this place, was on tn.
river bank at the Pennsylvania Railroad
Station. From the puiut ON Prospect Hi
to which he fed, he had the best possibl'
chance to note the effect of the stone
bridge on the waters, and as there seems
to he much diversity of opinion on thi.
subject, his conclusions are here given:
Had it been an iron bridge, or had the
bridge given way with the first rush OF
the waters, all the houses that wer,
lloated from their moorngs would have
been drawn into the current and carried
with great force through the opening
When The second heavy wave came, the
water would have been drawn off some
what, and it would not have been forced
quite so high up across the town. Bed
ford and Levergood streets, and part of
the lower side of Jackson street would
probably have escaped from total de-
struction. From Clinton street down
however, and out to the Stonycreek river
the destruction would have been com.
plete. All of the buildings on Main,
Vine aud Lincoln streets now standing,
including the Post-oflice Banks, Alma
Hall, and the churches would have been
swept down the stream, and the many
hundreds and thousands of people who
hoated up and across the streams and
were rescued, would have been drawn in,
to the fearful vortex and dashed to death.
The embankment of the railroad too.
would have quickly worn away, and the
mills of the Cambria Iron Company
would have been almost ruined, as with
out doubt the Steel Works and other
shops near the river would have been
swept away. All of Cambria City would
have been swept as clean as Woodvale.
and the greater part of Morrellville would
have been destroyed. Five thousand
more people would have been drowned
and much more property destroyed, I'll
though the rubbish would all have been
carried away. People in Kernville and
The Seventh ward would not have been
flooded as they were, and the few lives
that were lost in these sections would
have been saved, but fearful compensa-
ton for this would have been made by
the total destruction of the lower part of
the town, and all its people.

Only 500 Men to be Employed After To-
.MOrrOw-A Johnstown Man Should lie

Another important step was taken lnst
night by those having the matter id
charge of cleaning up the town. Colon,
Douglass, the chief engineer in charar
resigned, and after tomorrow all the
present contractors and their present
force of men will be withdrawn. The
work will be continued hereafter, bat
only five hundred men will be employed.
General Hastings will also leave, us his
presence is required elsewhere, but he
will visit the town once week, and owe
see the work. The sanitary corps wi
direct operations, and local engineer viii.
be put in charge. All the work will be
under the supervision of one contractor,
and with his force of five hundred men it
is expected that two months will be re-
quired to complete the necessary work.
In this connection we have one suggts-
ton to make to General Hastings, ami
that is, that the contract be given to I.
Johnstown man. We have men here who
have lost their all, who are fully compe-
tent to take charge Of five hundred men,
and we doubt not that they would handle
them better than any forc,1n contractor.
Being acquainted with the '9~n, he could
direct his forces more effectively, and cer-
tainly would not make the mistake that
other contractors have doy Of shoveling
and hauling away part of r mus lot. Let
us have Johnstown mar for This work

The body of Miss Lizzie, daughter of
Godfreid Hoffman, was found near the
Morrell Institute yesterday evening.
No word had been heard yet this morn

who was killed yesterday, and the en-

Timely and Efficient Help.

Where so much good work has been
promptly performed it is difficult and
might appear invidious to discriminate !;
but the service rendered by the various
church organizations is worthy OF being
noted; and among such societies that
was active in relieving the needy was that
of the Presbyterian church, under the
wise direction of Rev. DIR. Beale, its pas
tor. kilograms and letters poured into
him from all sections of the eastern part of
this State and from New Jersey and New
York, asking for particulars as to the
wants of the people; and boxes cf food,
clothing, and even bedding were sent to
HIM as soon as railroad facilities permit
ted. A room was then secured at the cor
ner of Main and Adams street, which was
put in charge of Mrs. DR.. Beale, Mrs.
Jones and Miss Duncan, of this place,
Miss Graham of Williamsburg, and Mrs.
DR.. Marchand, of Irwin, who distributed
edibles, wearing apparel, ETC., to multi
tudes of every name, grade and profes-
sion who were left in destitute circum-
stances.

Bridges.

Some steps should be taken at once to
have permanent bridges erected across
our streams, and the borough officials
should move in the matter. The Board Of
Civil Engineers from Philadelphia will be
here on Monday, and it is hoped some
recommendation may be made to the
State authorities ON the subject of bridges.
There has been no road bridge to Cambria
since the flood, and great inconvenience
is experienced on this account People
there who have orders for portable
houses cannot get them across the river.

A Word Gratuitously to our Merchants and
Other Business Men.

1t is not probable that many, if any, Of
them can pay dollar for dollar what tn,
owe and nearly all are receiving lett,
of coincidence from most or their crcdi-
tors with assurances that former accounts
might stand and orders would be filled
for new supplies. Now, this in some in
stances may result satisfactorily, but as
''an ounce of prevention is better than
pound of cure" it is suggested that the
better and safer.way would be to settle
I'll claims on some definite basis, before
making new purchases

GIVE THE MONEY NOW.

II reports are trustworthy at least three
and half million Of dollars have been
contributed for relieving the necessities of
Johnstown's unifortunates. This sum if
not diverted into chunlels never contem-
plated by the donors would go far to af-
fording relief to the absolute needy; and
if handed over at once would do thou
sund-fold more COOL than if held for
months. Ought not the proper authori-
Ties of town see to it that the reliet fund
be properly and promptly applied.
Johnstown weekly Democrat. (Johnstown, Cambria County, Pa.) 1889-1916, 1889-07-05

Some steps should be taken to prohibit
the depositing of the refuse on the river
banks. What we want now is to widen
our streams instead OF making them mar
rover, and much of the stuff that has
been deposited on the river banks must be
removed. 1t would certainly be wise for
the borough officials to take some cogni-
zance of the matter.
