LIGHT ON THE FLOOD.

Tho Civil EnRineers Promise n Sensation
 About the DIsaster at J0hnstOWH.
 PrrTsBURG, Pa., June 2S.-TheFs are prospects of some lively times during the convention of civil engineers, now in session at Cresson Springs, over the action of the committee appointed all m ost @ year ago to investigate the con- dition of the South Fork dam previous to the Johnstown flood.
 The committee investigated the mat. ter thoroughly and sealed it's report but did not hand it in at the last m eet. 'ug of the socistp held in January. The veason given by the committee was tn ct l they did not desire to become involved in litigation over the food At that time. At the present meeting the committee has given it out that no report will bs made unless it is ordered by the sooi. ety. The sssled report is said to con- tain some slightly interesting data con- l corning the condition Of the South Fork dam prior to the flood.
 It is stated on good authority that tho report says the dam was structura1ly 1 as perfect as could be made, as was evil l denced by the circumstance that at tho | time of the flood foot of water poured | over the dam for two hours, and that when the dam broke it did so from the | top. It is said that the report will fur
 ther state that g larger waste wier | might have prevented the flood. Many
 members of the society are already
 clamoring for the report and many
 stories are current. The report will be
 in order this afternoon when the busi.
 ness session is to be held.

The One She Thought Dead Turns Up in
 an Insaus Asyluh.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 2S.-A very strange experience has been that of Mrs. George T. Allen, who, thirty years ago, young, pretty. and happily blessed with worldly goods, was married amid much ceremony. For years her hus- band continued in the drug business here, and finally moved down East. Several children were born to the happy couple as the years went by. About twelve years ago Allen mysteri- ously disappeared, no one knows whither. He started away one morn ing on business trip, and was never again seen by his family.
 Seven years went by, years freighted with much unhapiness for the deserted wife and her little family. Finally, giving him mp as dead. she mar ried all aged but wealthy man. Life went happily on until e few days ago, when the woman was startled At re- csiying q letter from Taunton asylum that her long lost husband was there insane. He had lost all knowledge of his whereabouts, and his wapderings, c blank to himself, will probably psver be known. The woman has left he. second husband. pending proceedinge for a divorce, which she has instituted against the husband who all these years she thought dead.
