Hundreds Of people are shelterless and

people Of their acquaintance have disap-
peaTed; how the gatherings of residents on
the streets, and estimates were proved as
far as possible. 1t must be remembered
that very large proportion of this esti-
mated loss is made mp of children. How
strikingly frequent is the reference in the
death list to Mrs Jones and six chill
dreu, " Mrs. Smith and five children"
10 the morgue the little ones lie in
dozens, where the adults are in half
dozens, but there is and mas been much
greater difficulty in recovering the bodies
Of the children Being lighter and small
er they have often been swept into out-of-
the-way recesses that are almost inaccessi-
BILE, as they are more easily carried. A
very great proportion Of the children have
been swept down the river, and their
bodies driven in under Overhangine banks
under thickets, and in other places. where
there Is only sparse population and where
the search is not carried on in careful
aud organized manner. As an illustration
OF this, just above New Florence some
fragments of clothing were in full view of
the path on the river bank Hundreds of
people passed the place for three days
looking for bodies, hut thought it was
only shreds Of worthless cloth they were
looking at Finally somebody poked at
the rags with a stick, and twirl in the
current brought a twO-year-Old babe to the
surface.
The drift of opinion among intelligent
men, physicians, engineers and railroad
men that from 1000 to l, 800 of the bodies
will never be found
At II o'clock this morning Adiutsnt
General Hastings sent the following tele-
gram to Governor Beaver:
"GorernOr Bearer, Harrisburg Pa:
Fully three Thousand men are at work
clearing off debris. Bodies are now being
rescued in large numbers. The Citizens
Committee organized and the work is
systematic. A detachment Of twenty
men OF the Fourteenth Regiment was de-
tailed last night to guard the supply
train. Provisions are pouring in and il is
difficult to take care of them. There is no
suffering from want of food OF shelter.
Contributions of money are more desir-
able than anything else.

PARIS, June 5.-A meeting of Ameri-
cans was held to-day at the United States
L ,gation. on e call in the morning papers
by Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the United States
Minister, to express the sympathy of the
Americans in Paris with the sufferers by
the Johnetown calamity. In spite Of the
short notice the rooms of the Legation we're
densely packed, and many went away un-
able TO gain sdmittance. Mr.. Reid was
called to the chair ard Mr. Ecnst Lambert
appointed secretary. The following resO-
luiiona were offered by Mr.. Andrew Gar
negie and seconded by Mr. James n. Otis:
Resolred, That we send across the At
lsntic to our brethren, overwhelmed By
the appalling disaster AZ JOhns.Own, our
most profound heartfelt sympathy. Over
their lost ones we mourn with them and in
every pang of all their misery we have our
part.
Resolred, That as American citizens we
fOUkThluAhtt AAltAn uDoh onA AhnhR NhNAh
for the numerous acts of noble herOlsm dis
nlaved upder circumstances cal
culsted to unnerve the bravest,
and especially do we honor and admire
them for the capacity shown for local self
government upon which the stability Of
republican institutions depends; the mill
tary organizations sent from distant points
70 preserve order during the chaos that
supsrvened having been returned to their
homes ss no longer required within forty
eight hours of the calamity. In these few
hours the civil power recreated and as
serted itself and resumed sway without
the aid of counsel from distant authOri-
ties. nut solely by aid from the inherent
power which remains in the people Of
Johnstown themselves.
Resolred, That the thanks Of this meet
ing cordially tender to Mr.. Reid for his
prompt and apprO pirate action in this
meeting, for services as chairman of this
meeting.
Resolred, That copy of these resou-
tions be forwarded By telegraph to the
Mayors of Johnstown, Pittsburg and Phila-
delphis.
The resolutions were then unanimously
adopted and committee WAS appointed to
receive subscriptions; about 1000 were
subscribed on the spot All American
bankers agreed to open subscription the
next day at their banking houses. "BnffAlo
Bill subscribed the entire receipts Of one
entertainment to he given under the aus
picss of the committee.
Besides others already named, there
we're present: Benjamin Brewster, Louis
Won Hoffman, Charles A. Pratt, Lloyd
Brice, Charles Dinsmore, Edward Lideck,
Professor Chandler, Rev. Dr. Stoddart and
olhers from New York; Col. Otis Richie,
of Boston; General Franklin, Assistant
Commissioner Tucker, and George Wallen,
of st. Louis; Consul-Genersl Rathburn,
and large number of the American colony
in Paris. It was the largest and most

HUNTINGDON, PA, June 5.-The late
news from suburban districts in this coun-
ty, just received, shows that the destruc-
ton to property by the flood is infinitely
greater thsn at first reported. The waters
are receding, and the Juniata river is pass-
able in several places. Couriers have ar
rived bearing news of the unprecedented
food From Belford TO Huntingdon, on
the DOylstown branch and on to Lewis
town, on the Juniata river, the devasta-
tiOn is the greatest in Central Penn
sYlvania, except, of cOurse, Johnstown.
Not house is left that stood within reach
of the swollen streams, here. The damage

other towns in the county have suffered
correspOndiDgly.
At Mapleton, the immense tannery Of l..
A. Roberts was damaged TO the extent Of
5000, 600 and the losl to other property
will reach 800, 600 moro. The Powell
Furnaces at Saxton sustained loss OF $780,
600, and at that place both the railroad
and county bridges were swept away,
leaving railroad communication with Bed
ford cut off. The Huntington and Broad
Top railroad sustained but slight damege
For distance of three mile below here,
four miles of the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks are destroyed, with bridges gone at
Msnayunk and Lewiston, the latter having
gone down during a heavy storm last
night. Railroad communication with
Altoona on the west, will be opened on a
single track by tomorrow.
From here to the junction Of the Junista

doned the dam became useless and was
neglected. The tower in which the ma
chinery for managing the waste waters
was located is said to have fsllen into the
ruins. A few years ago the lake was
leased By the Pittsburg Sportsmen's AS
sOcistion. Engineer Fuller, of the Cam
bria Iron Company, made an inspection of
it and pronounced its condition dangerous
The Association set out, they declare, to
improve and strengthen it. Tney did cut
off two feet from the top of the dam and
may have strengthened it in some respects,
but either because the wsste-gatcs were SO
damaged that to repair them would have
been an expensive job, or the other reason
meutioned-the fear that the fish would
escape-the wsste-gates, 20 every one who
lives near saws, were permanently stopped
