was the roasting of a hundred or more
persons in Milford by fire, the ruins OF
houses and out buildings and other struct-
ures swept against the new railroad
bridge at Johnstown, and from an over
turned stove or some other cause the up
per part Of the wreckage caught fire.
There were crowds Of men, women and
children on the wreck. Their screams
added to the awful chorus of horror; they
were literally roasted in the flood. The
first authentic news is from W. H. Hayes
