positive information is at hand when trains
will move eastward. At p. NJ. Superin-

bridge are badly damaged. These have
all been temporarily repaired. The good
news that trains were to move spread
rapidly among the passengers here and
such a transformation from dependency
to buOyancy is rarely witnessed. The COM
mercisl travellers are here in force, and at
once gave expression to their deligh; in
front of the Qoeen City Hotel, tossing
their spare nickels among the myriad of
colored boys The drummers next formed
in line and paraded through the principal
streets, preceded by an itinerant German
band, which they pressed into service.
Cumberland's sympathy for the Johns
town sufferers his been most practical and
liberal. Three carloads OF clothing and
provisions were forwarded last night. A
relief corps and physicians followed this
morning One thousand dollars cash has
also been subscribed The greatest un-
easiness has prevailed becsdse Of the many
friends and relatives of Cumberland people
who had located 40 JohnstOwn. The Times
tonight reports the following among the list
of Johustown unfortunstes who belong
here and who are known in your city: |
