Enforcing the Liquor Laws In Bangor.

The action Of the city authorities in enforcing the
laws against liquor selling must meet the hearty
approval Of all VIII" have the welfare of the com
munity at heart and it is to be hoped that the Of
hcers Will perseverc until no one will think of pub
fishing such statements in regard to our city as
have too frequently been seen in print.
There Is 50 absolutely no plea to he made in
favor of rum selling; 1t Is patent that liquor sa
looms ulcers that eat into the life OF commun
ity; and every interest of family Of business, OF
good morals, Of happiness Of young and old is 80
grevously assaied and imperilled by the dealing
out Of intoxicating drink, that it is strange that the
traffic can gain or keep foot hold in communities
where 50 many intelligent people make their
homes. Saturdays Wing & Courier.

O'Clock this afternoon for the purpose Of
conterring on tho matter
Inc first invitation sent out was addressed
to ex-ProSident Cleveland, which gentle-
man.. 1t is believed, win be made chairman

moments for the committee to subscribe
nearly Soo,Oo0 for the sufferers by the flood
IN Conemaugh valley. The contributions
by the maritime exchange to-day we're

Is greatly needed to meet the heavy pay
rolls that viii be incurred for the next two
weeks. w. c. Lewis, chairman OF the
nnance committee, is ready TO receive all
donations of cash.
The Hungarians and negroes caused the
most trouble. All day long yesterday they
were filling up with whisky taken from the
river on Saturday, and last night they
were IN dangerous mood. The negroes in
Johnstown last night were selling sacks of
hour and dress goods for whisky. They
actually had the cheek to drive wagon to
tne rear of a wrecked store
and load it with goods and
were hauling it away when stopped
hundreds of homeless men and women and
children slept on the hillsidss last night
under tents that were sent from Pittsburg
and other places. The Pennsylvania rail-
road succeeded in getting a train through
to the city last night and provisions enough
to meet all immediate wants arrived.
Late last night second case of attempted
lynching was witnessed near Kernville.
A man was observed stealing valuable
articles from houses. He was seized by a
mob, rope was placed around his neck,
and be was jerked up into the air. The
rope was tied to a tree and his would be
lynchers left him. Bystanders cut him
down before he was dead. The other men
did not Interfere and he was allowed to
go. The man was so badly scared that
he could not give his name if he had wanted.

creek, at 8 o'clock this afternoon. The
sight was one that ca mot be described. and
IS one of the most distressing ever witnessed
A crowd of at least 500 gathered around
endeavoriag to find the bodies Of friends or
relatives. There were no coffins there at
the time. and the bodies had to be buried
without. However, 500 collins are on the
way here, and the undertakers have sent
for 500 additional ones.
BODIES HALF BURIED IN SAND.
The water has fallen so much that IL is
possible to get at the bodies. However. the
bodies have to be dug out of the sand. and
1t causes no end of work. It is Thought
that most of the bodies will be found at
kernvllle under a large pile of debris.
about an acre in length. One
thousand bodies have already been
recovered there. This is where most of the
buildings drifted, and it is natural to sun
pose that the bodies hoated with them.
Rain IS now falling, but this does not
interfere with the work Most of the res.
cuing party have been up for two DAYS. vet
they work with a determination that is
wonderful. Engine company No. Is of
Plttsburg, which is playing stream on the
fire at Stone bridge, as it now almost ex-
tinguished and the fire will be out by to-
morrow, and the task of getting out the
bodies under the burning debris will be
commenced in earnest.

Tho effect of the dreadful things they
saw and heard was to drive lot of them to

men who were trying to counteract the
strain on their nerves with
unnatural excitement The police
foreseeing the unseemly sights that were
likely to disgrace the streets, drove out and
kept out all visitors who had not some good
reason for their presence. After that and
far into the evening all the country reads
were filed with drunken strsgglers, who
were trying TO forget what they had seem
One thing that makes the work of search

A Graphic Description of the Starting
of the Torrent.
JoHNSTowN, Pa, June 8, 1:10 p. M
Several Pittsburgers, relatives of the South
Fork Fishing Club, which owned the reser-
voir which caused the disaster, made their
way with extreme difficulty to the reservoir
and have just returned here. One of these
Harry Singer, tells the following story:
'The lake is completely dried out. The
dam broke in the center at o'clock Friday
afternoon, and at 4 o'clock it was dry.
That great body of water passed
out in one hour. Messrs. Park
and Vanburg, who were building new
draining system at the lake, tried to avert
disaster by digging sluiceway on one
side to ease the pressure on the dam. They
had about forty men at work and did all
they could, without avail. The water
passed over the dam about foot above its
top, beginning about 2:30 O'Clock What
ever happened in the way of a cloudburst
took place during Thursday night. There
had been but little rain up to dark When
the workman woke Friday morning the
lake was very full and rising at the rate Of
a foot an hour. 1t kept on rising until 2
o'clock, when it first began breaking over
the dam and undermining it. Men were
sent three or four times during the day to
warn the people below of their danger.
CAME LIKE CLAP OF THUNDER.
"When the final break came at O'Clock,
there was sound like tremendous and con-
tinuous peals of thunder. Trees, rocks and
earth were shot up in Inid-air in a great
column, and then the water started down
the stream. A farmer said that the water
did not come down like wave, but jumped
on to his house and beat it
to fragments in an instant. He
was safe on the hillside, but his wife and
two children were killed. At the present
time the lake looks like cross between the
crater Of a volcano and huge mud puddle
with stumps of trees and rock scattered
over it. There is a small stream of muddy
water running through the center of the
lake cite. The break in the dam is about
200 feet wide and there is but small por-
tion of the dam left on either side. No
damage was done to any of the buildings
belonging to the fishing club. There are but
one or two small streams showing here and
there in the lake"
Rescuing parties who are at work on the
mass of unburned wreckage on the river
above the stone bridge are finding bodies
and fragments of bodies at the rate Of from
ten to fifteen an hour. In other parts of
the submerged districts many bodies are
being taken out. A careful estimate at this
time of the bodies recovered everywhere
puts it from 700 to 800. The total loss of
life must certainly be from 5000 to 5000.
Bodies are being picked up in pockets like
ore, in all sorts OF unexpected places.
