THEY INVESTIGATE.
Conflicting kilograms Bring Down Com.
mIttee From the Chicago Board
nfrrnhe-AlIia In Nnru Hnrr,nnx

OF Trnde-AIlts Now Harmony.
A committee of two gentlemen from the
Chicago Board Of Trade arrived in Pittsburg
yesterday. Their errand was TO find out to
whom to turn over the money raised
in Chicago for the benefit of the Johns
town sufferers. 1t seems that conflicting tele-
grams have been sent from here to Chicago
as to who is authorized to receive tho
contributions. Chicago people became uneasy,
and it is feared that the work of raising money
received a temporary check. About S18, 600 had
been raised in Chicago, and this is beiug held
until the two gentlemen referred to make their
report. Before sending the committee the Chi
cago people had wired to Pittsburg, asking if
there was a conflict of interests here. They
had received a reply signed by William
McCreery and Mayor McCallin saying that
there was no conflict and that the money
should be sent to Treasurer Thompson. Not
withstanding this, they thought it best to send
q committee. So the committee has been on
the ground Investigated the matter thoroughly,
found that there is no conflict, and will return
to Chicago to-day and make report advising
Just what the telegram of Messrs. McCreery
and McCallin advised.
There has been in the Relief Committee all
the time entire harmony and the greatest con-
fidence in the men In the field. Moreover, an
interchange of kilograms yesterday between
Governor Beaver and the committee resulted
in satisfactory understanding. Governor
Beaver expressed his entire confidence in the
committee, his unqualified approval of their
work, and stated that hereafter he would work
through them.

HOBSON'S choice,
0rMighty Near it as to What
You'll Drink.
BEER BEGINS TO PAIL
On the Stomach and Tea and Coffee Are Not
Much Better-But Little Mud in the Lnte
soIutIon-No Reservoir Cleaning Con.
temDlated-Death i'm the Old Onlken
Bucket.

Complaint having been made that the depth
of water in the Hiland avenue reservoir has
been allowed to decrease, Mr.. L. 7. Denniston,
chief clerk, explains that some repairs have
been making at the engines but that there
will be maintained sufficient supply.
Superintendent Brown states that it will not
be necessary to clean the basins as the Hood
deposited less sediment than is ordinarily the
case. The probable cause of this is that local
rains were not heavy and did not wash much
earth into the river and the immense rush
following the break of the South Fork dam
carried out its sediment with more than usual
rapidity. Although there is still considerable
stage of water, the rivers are quite clear.
Only in Coffee.
But little water, comparatively. is being used
for drinking except when made into coffee and
tea. Many people are buying an extra supply
of ice and melting it for drinking. while others
drink from abandoned wells that ordinarily
Are Considered Poisonous.
Some sources of supply that are considered
comparatively pure are extensively patron
lied. Among them are the spring at Darling
tons brewery on Rebecca street, Allegheny,
avenue, Shadyside; one on the Mckee prop
perty, near Forbes street and Coltart square;
one on M. K. Moorehead's place, Ellsworth
avenue, and the artesian well water near East
Park, Allegheny, slakes the thirst of many.
There is considerable grumbling by some who
have endeayored to tide over the water famine
by drinking beer. Beer is mighty pleasant
drink to educated palates but if you are
forced to drink it for great length of time, it
has tendency to make you feel as though
you'd as leave see the amendment pass on
the 18th instant as not. 1t is said the
drink habit can be cured by flavoring every
the victim eats with ardent spirits and giving
him tam for his exclusive beverage for a con-
siderable length of time 1t is remedy which
some topers would enjoy in its inception.
Safe as Well Water.
The people of the Southside, who draw their
supply from the Monongahela, are in pretty
good shape, and 1t is probably as safe to drink
Allegheny river water as that of the wells in
thickly inhabited districts. If census were
kept of typhoid fever in the large cities where
river water is used and in the Iillages where
well water is drank it would be
Proven Beyond Controversy
that the proportion of cases of fever is consid-
erably greater in the latter than in the former.
CesspoOls are usually less than one-third as
deep as wells, and the water in the latter can
not in most instances be anything else than
poisonous. They are denominations and sewer
age in cities is but little better.
1t is difficult to tell just how long it will be
before Allegheny river water can be used
without suspicion. Much will depend on the
progress made in cleaning away the drift be-
tween Johnstown and Freeport.

one, not copperas or mercury, as it would
poison the water. It will be something
harmless. The solution will be stored in
tanks If all works well we will commence
operations with the engine in the morning. I"
A fire engine left Pittsburg for J Johnstown
last night to perform this work.
1.-The most fear," continued DR.. Lee,
sis that disease may break out among the
weakened survivors in the infected district,
but so far the absence of mortality is won
derful for the exposure endured"
A telegram from Johnstown last evening
said that several cases of malignant diph-
liberia had developed, but so far the dreaded
disease had not spread.
Wants the Surgeon General.
Continuing the doctor said: 81 telegraphed
for Surgeon General Hamilton, of the
United States Marine Hospital Service, who
had charge of the quarantine and supervis-
ion of the yellow fever district of Florida,
to come on. as want to confer with him. 1
have also telegraphed to DR.. Probst, Secre-
tary and executive officer of the State Board
of Health of Ohio, to meet me here as soon
as possible with view of comforting with
him in regard to such sanitary precautions
as may be necessary along the Ohio, as the
people at Cincinnati and other points along
the river fear that the pollution from the
upper streams is going down to them, but
they should be assured to the contrary"
State Appropriation Insufficient.
1.-THE State appropriation for the work is
not sufficient unfortunately. In fact the
appropriation is very meager, but we rely
upon a full Endorsement of the expenses
that may be necessary to incur in this great
emergency. I Iexpected to be allowed a GER
tain amount of money to prosecute the work
proposed out of the funds in the hands of
the General Relief Committee here, but L
have been disappointed. 1 met the mem
bers of the Executive Relief Committee
while in executive session few minutes
ago. They say that inasmuch as the money
in their hands was given for the immediate
relief of sufferers, they do not feel like al
lowing any of it to be expended for any
other purpose. They considered they had
strained point to send the boats up the
river to pull away the lodged wreckage and
dead bodies, as 1 requested. I have, how
ever, telegraphed to Governor Beaver to
place money in my hands"

In THE MOTHERS ARMS.
A Child Sleeps Peacefully While the Flood
Rages All Around.


Mr.. M. P. Garrigan returned from Johnstown
yesterday, and in talk with DISPATCH re-
porter described his visit to the devastated
region. About eight miles above Bolivar the
train he was on was stopped in the woods the
conductor putting off all that were without
passes through the lines. He found his rela-
tives, and his cousin, Mr.. John Hogan, related
the terrible experience through which he and
his wife and child passed. They had already
fed into the second story when the waters from
the dam came down upon them. They saw one
house after another whirled down past them.
Then the livery stable across the street was
hurled upon the house they were in. Their
friends were drowned before their eyes. They
were thrown into the water, but Mr.. Hogan
managed to get wife and child to the cave of
the roof of the house they had been thrown
from. The wife held the child while the father
with desperate strength, kept pushing off the
great logs crushing down upon them.
In this way, clinging to the cave they floated
down for several squares. At last the roof
struck house and lodged there. Remaining
thus for several hours, crying and begging pit
eously for help, they were at last rescued. But
all through the hours OF their great peril, after
the roof had lodged, the child sleptin its moth
er's arms as TRANQUILITY as If it had been in a
cradle. instead of in the midst of flood. Mrs
Hogan was badly bruised. She has lost Is of
her relatives, and this, together with the inj1r-
les she received, will keep her prostIated for
some time to come.

1T GOT HERE AT LAST.
There Must be n Rip Van Wrinkle Some

There Must be Rip Van Wrinkle Some
where Between Here and New York.
The postofice employees struck something yes
terday as puzzling as a mike" It was a
stained newspaper, or had been newspaper
once. and looked as though it had been struck
by the late food somewhere. 1t was addressed
to Robert Marshall, Hazel street." 1t was
sent out as usual, but in the afternoon the car
rier brought it back with the report that Rob-
ert Marshall had moved from Hazel street in
1879. Superintendent Larkin. of the Carriers
Division, examined the paper. and found 1t to
be a copy of the New York Express, now Mail
tyld Express, dated june %, 1879. The princi-
pal news in it was the account of the death of
the French Prince Imperial in Zululand. where
he was serving in the British army.
Where the paper has been for the last ten
years is a mystery. The Eastern mails are
coming in SO irregularly and over so many lines
that it is impossible to find what pouch the
paper was taken from. Mr.. Marshall was
traced to Lowry street, in the Twenty-third
ward, and to-day the postoffice employees will
endeavor to hunt up his location after he re-
moved from that street.

Use. ir IL Said.
A good many Pittsburgers who went to
Johnstown Immediately after the catastrophe
to aid the survivors have returned. Among
these is Mr.. Joseph Horne Jr. He showed
signs of having endured good many hardships
in the desolated town, and he told not few
stories of the misery there. He laid particular
stress upon the present needs Of Johnstown.
He said; II do not think they need any more
laboring men in Johnstown. but they do need
men of business ability and experience in fnan-
cial matters. Such men are needed to superin-
tend the work of cleaning the town and of dis
tributing supplies. Another thing which i'm
pressed itself upon me was the necessity for
shaping the supplies to the real needs Of Johns
town. 1t Is utterly useless to ship -four there.
and yet there is great deal of -four on its way.
There is enough clothing already on the scene
at Johnstown to fit out all Cambria county. A
good deal of the clothing, however, is not mt to
be distributed. Tramps would refuse to wear
it."
Oliver s. Richardson, Esq, of the Pittsburg
bar, reappeared in Pittsburg yesterday. He
went up to Johnstown on Saturday and worked
there on the relief department until Thursday.
Edward Carpenter, Esq, another lawyer. also
carried barrels Of bread and other eatables
from the relief trains into Johnstown, and re-
turned to Plttsburg early in the week.

Contributions, Provisions and Clothing Be.

Working Men TO be Sent.

The people of McKeesport are still actively
at work raising funds and general relief for the
afflicted mountain city. The National Tube
Works and the W. Devices Wood Company are
arranging to send about l5O additional men to
assist the large force of workers already sent
out from there. The contributions OF these
two concerns, when fully considered, will, it is
said, go up into the thousands of dollars.
Yesterday Relief Committee No. 4left for the
city of destruction. The car was filed to its
utmost capacity with provisions and mems
clothing. Over 1,000 loaves of bread and large
quantity of cooked meats were included in the
load.
The tube works have arranged to provision
all their own men, and are paying them regular
salary for working at Johnstown. The en-
ployes OF the United States Iron and Tin Plate
Company have contributed S2S5, and the Yer
sailles Council, Royal Arcanum, raised $780,
Both amounts were turned over TO the Relief

"The Hungarians of Johnstown, are the most
abused people on the face of the earth," says
Captain W. r. Jones, superintendent of Car
negie's works at Braddock. THE only cases of
pilfering that came under my notice were two
in which native Americans were the offenders.
One ofthem had picked up a few articles Of
trifing value from a ruined house, and had
the greatest difficulty in preventing his beng
lynched by an infuriated mob. The Hungari-
ans who formed large part of my relief corps
worked faithfully and intelligently. Joseph
Wolf, Hungarian citizen of Braddock, gave

Captain Jones was pioneer In the work of
cleaning up the wreck of the ruined city, with
a force of $50 men, paid by the firm he repre-
sents he began himself the work which Booth
and Finn are now conducting. He states that
the contributions of the Carnegie firm, in
money, wages of employees and private gifts of
members of the concern amount to over
$4,000. He believes that 1t will take until
July to even roughly clean up the devastated
city, and that it is best at once to saturare the
jam at the viaduct with petroleum and burn
1t. The danger of future floods. in his opinion,
should be averted by widening and deepening
the channel of the river.
