JoHNsIOwN, Pa, June 2.
The lowest passions of depraved human
ity are exhibiting themselves in nearly
every section of the scene of horror. About
10 O'Clock this morning an old lady came up
TO number OF men who were scattered
along the railroad about quarter OF a mile
below KernVille and told story OF inde>
scribable misery and suffering. She had
lost her son and daugbter-in-law, who
were her only means of support. She had
tramped in mud and slush from Johnstown
to point on the Conemaugh, five miles be-
low, in search of her dead. About a half
mile below Kernville she noticed two men
STOPPING over dead body. who from their
mysterious actions aroused her suspicion.
As she approached them they walked away,
AID when she reached the body found it to
be that OF her daughter in law There was
not a trinket on her person. The thieves
had stolen them. She begged the gentle
men first mentioned to put stop to the ter
rible deeds OF what she called devils in hu-
man form.
In less than five minutes, party OF seven
men. one with a revolver in his hand, an
other with 4 rope over his shoulders and the
remainder carrying clubs and other weap-
ons. were seen running down the south
shore of the ConemauRh river. Within ten
minutes they had oyertaken the scOundrels
they were seeking, whom they greeted with
leyeIed revolver an order:
Hands up or We'll blow your heads

The dastards obeyed with hesitation.
Their pockets were then searched. and as
they were relieved of pieces of iewelry of
every description, they pleaded for mercy.

not the last handful of trinkets taken from
their person been accompanied by the whole

The Routine of Military Life.

The United States soldiers first duty
begins at $50 in the morning, at which
hour reveille is sounded by the buglers
of all the batteries. At this signal the
men all leave their quarters and form in
single file on the parade ground. The
roll is then called by the sergeant, who
also presents mis- morning report to the
captain. This report shows the number
of men on duty, the sick and the absent.
Application Tor leaves of absence are
handed in with the report, after the
commanders approval the men are all
dismissed, except those who are to do
guard duty. The guard detail is made
out the evening before it is read out,
and the men who are appointed serve
for twenty-four hours, with a relief ev-
cry two hours.
Tattoo is sounded at O'Clock, which
is signal for the men to turn in, ("
and at 9:l5 taps sound, at which time all
lights must be extinguished, unless a
special order has been issued by the Of
fcer of the day.
Besides military duty the soldier is
subject to extra service. In connection
| with the barracks there is a good-sized
farm, and the soldiers are frequently re-
quired to throw aside their guns for hoes
and other agricultural implements.
They also do all sorts of outdoor work
frequently imposed as punishment for
some offense.
