JoHSsTowS, Pa. June 3.-The recovery
Of bodies took up the time OF thousands
Sunday. The theory now Is that most OF
those killed by the torrent are buried be
meath the debris, and the events Of yester-
days work In the ruins IN large degree
Justify this assumption. Blk bodies were
taken out OF one pile OF rubbish not eight
feet square during the morning. The truth
Is that bodies are almost as plentiful as
logs, only the swirl OF the waters put the
bodies under and the logs and boards on top
In the general stacking up OF the animate
and inanimate. The rigidity Of arms, stand
ing out at right angles TO the bloated apd
bruised bodies, shows that death In ninety
nine out Of 100 cases took place amid the
rnins-that is, after the wreck OF houses
had closed over them. Dr. ID. g. Foster,
who was here all day, thinks that most OF
the victims were killed by coming In VIC
lent contact with objects In the river, and
not by drowning. Three hundred bodies
were recovered Sunday.
Six blackened skulls from which the flesh
has been burned can be seen protruding from
the wrcclsnge above the east end OF the
