'Your letter of the I'd inst. informing this

at need not be said that the members of the

calamity which has aroused into sympathetic
activity all hearts throughout the land. 1t is
more than duty TO relieve and assuage; it is a
condition of well beng, nay, of existence itself,
Chicago is generously responding to the cry of
distress FROM the Conemaugb Valley She does
not and never will, forget that IN her time of
supreme trial, the good city of Pittsburg has
tened to her reliefwith splendid munifcence;
and am sure that her contributions, however
generous they may be, cannot equal the over
running measure of her sincere sympathy for
the stricken households which only yesterday
rejoiced in prosperity.
''God grant that a Christian courage may
nerve their hearts, that their waste places may
be rebuilt, and more than their former pros
perity may visit their desolation.. Chicago

rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June 8.-As to what the
Governor is likely to do, when he arrives
here tomorrow morning, nobody here
would venture an opinion; but there are
any number who are ready to venture
opinions as to what he will not do.
His mastery inactivity in responding to
the requests sent him in various ways, for
aid, has aroused the antipathy of the people.
A great many were mere incensed by COM
parison this morning when Governor For
aker sent a message TO the effect that, it any,
thing or any money was needed the people
were to let him know, and he would supply
1t. No such telegram was sent by Governor
Beaver, nor is it likely that there will be
any received from him. Adjutant General
Hastings had talk with him by telegraph
Friday night, when the Governor decided
to come to Jobnstown and see things for.
himself Among the people who are rum
ming the town it is quite common to hear
them refer to "Governor Foraker, of Penn
svlvania," and Governor Beaver, of
Ohio"
At the General Hospital this feeling is
greater than anywhere else. A number of
members of the staff are from Mercy Hos
pital. P;ttsburg, and say that institution
was treated disgracefully by the Governor
The Mercy officers were the first to organize
and send surgeons to Johnstown. They
were the first physicians in town, and the

Strange Cases Of Mental lAberration-A Man
Whose Hair Fell Out.
LFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowS, june s.-To-day THE DIS
PATCH announced that three cases of in
sanity had been discovered among the sur
Tivors OF the food. In an interview Dr..
Alice Bennett, chief of the women's ward
in the Nerristown Insane Asylum, stated
that q number of people would lose their
minds as a result of the disaster. This morh-
ing another case was developed by the Red
Cross Society, whose members are doing an
effeetual work among the poor and dis
tressed. DR.. Hess of Philadelphia, who is
a member of the society, found in one house
not only q case of insanity, but also a
strange result of fright.
The doctor was visiting the houses in Grub
town. settlement OF about 800 inhabitants,
inst ABOVE Kernville, on Stony creek. he
called at the house Of the widow Blair and
found her under restraint The physician
observed that the woman was crazy and
very violent Her family had great trouble
in handling her when she became excitable.
The woman all the time imagined that she
was in the food again, and could hear the
rush OF waters in her ears. Every few min
utes she would call out for someone to save
her, and would throw her arms about as if
to catch on to something to save herself
from drowning. After exhausting herself
she would become rational, and for short
time would be perfectly sane. In few
minutes she would break out again, and it
was with difficulty that she could be held
down.
Her son John received shock and will |
probably carry the marks of it to his grave.

500 Applications Already.
Yesterday morning Mrs. A. Alston, Mrs.
s. NJ. Orr, Mrs. s. F. Hutchins, w. 7.
Price, W. Caldwell and Miss Annie Will
cox, representing the Children's Aid So
ciety of Western Pennsylvania, left for
Johnstown to establish headquarters there.
They intend to take charge OF all homeless
and friendless children, and find homes for
them. The society has already received
over 500 applications for children. Miss
Wilcox will be Secretary, and will register
each child, together with all the informa-
tion obtainable regarding it. This will be
brought to this city and placed on record in
the register of the society.
Mrs. II. G. Campbell was in Johnstown
ON Monday last and arranged with Mr..
Moxham for the care of the children, and
the understanding was that all homeless
children would be turned over to the West
ern Pennsylvania Society. The party took
with them plentiful supply of what the
sufferers will find necessary. The list en-
braces pins, needles, shoestrings, combs,
soap, towels, bairpins, thread and host of
other articles that are necessary for the
toilet. Mrs. Campbell's visit to Johnstown
was at the request of Adjutant General

center of the top of his head and extending
from the forehead to the base of the brain,
has been made entirely bald. The physi-
clan who attended him says the cause of the
hair falling Quits the fright which the man
endured during the food. In speaking Of
the matter DR.. Hess said:
THE case is one among million. The
cause of the man becoming bald was the
fright he got at the thought of being
drowned. There is nothing the matter with
his mind, however, which so far has not
been impaired. 1t is an extreme case Of
nervous prostration. Before the food the
man had ordinary brown hair, which was
very thick. The most extraordinary thing
about it is the fact that no hair fell out of
any other part of his head. The strip of
about two inches wide is as bald of hair as
baby's chin"
A messenger from Woodyale stated to-
day that there were several cases of in
sanity among the people living at that
place. None of the physicians at the gen.
eral hospital had any report ofthem.
p. Another case is that of woman at Kern
vile who has hallucination that she is
still in the food. She lost her mind about
II years ago, but was cured at that time.

of the men had to go 20 hours and more

The State was supposed to furnish the
rations for the men, but on account of some
misunderstanding, it was left to the Relief
Committees. Toe latter did not have
enough food to supply the poor people of
the town, and could do nothing for the
soldiers who we're not near them.
Quartermaster Brown, of the regiment,
left for Pittsburg tonight to purchase
supply of rations for the men. He stated
that they had grown tired of waiting upon
the relief committees for enough to eat, and
will have their own rations shipped from
Pittsburg to them. The regiment also suf-
tered greatly the first night the men were

Described by Foreman Kirk-To be Cleared
Away in Ten ys-One-Eourth
Removed Now.
Arthur Kirk, foreman In charge Of clear
ing away the big jam at the P. R.sR. bridge,
yesterday sent the General Relief Commit
tee the following letter which gives an ae-
curate description Of the Jam and the work
done:
JoHEsTowN, June7.
VIM, MeCreery, ESQ.,, Chairman, etc.;
Kermit me to report to you the condition OF
pennsylvania Railroad stone bridge. Johns
town. When arrived here at II o'clock A. N.
last Monday, ! found a jam of large trees
smashed railroad cars, jarnined as near as
could estimate nearly 40 feet high. filling every
interviewer with what appeared to be hundreds
OF miles of telegraph wire and tough roots and
nne wire-lke willow branches, tin roofs Of
railroad cars, dead bodies, etc.
First l had to extempOriZe plan for It's re-
mnval, then to get tools to execute the plan.
Owing to the chaotic state of things here, the
trst three days of the week little was done.
since then we have removed about one-fourth
OF the jam, with good prospect OF having q
channel 100 feet wide cut through its whole
length In ten days Then if the water keeps up
side
have to-day had the jam measured and
foundit to be 800 feet up stream from the stone
bridge y $50 feet wide. and in the most of what
we have removed, we have found it to be 20
feet deep.
1t is often said: "Why do you not pour oil
over the debris and burn itr' / answer be-
cause it is utterly impossible for the debris
that we have handled consists largely of grow
ing trees wrenched from the earth and dry
household furniture and dry building stuff,
every inch of which has now been ten days
under water and is still under water. and all
the oil that could be poured on it would not
burn 1t under water. So far we have only
found two human bodies.
1t now looks like rain. II the Conemaugh
river only keeps up, I think it probable to have
tall removed in ten days. Yours respectfully,
ARTHUR KIRK.
