Ii will probably never be known just
how many people in the Conemaugh val
ley persisted in the flood. On June l6'
1889, Col. John Rogers prepared re-
port, which showed that up to that date
81 ,i40 bodies had been recovered, and
he estimated the loss OF life at 5000.
Subsequently, new directory OF the
Conemaugh Valley was compiled, and
having been compared with one taken
in April, it indicated loss OF S,500li
The loss of life was due not only to the
flood, which swept down so suddenly as
TO cut of means of escape, but fire broke
out in the mountains of debris piled up
against the stone bridge; which crosses
the Conemaugh at Johnstown. In this
burning wreck hundreds of living peo-
were entombed, and many persisted
within sight and hearing of relatives
and friends. The day express going
East on the Pennsylvania railroad was
caught in the rushing waters and added
its quota to to the army of tie dead
The greater number of the passengers
escaped to the hillsides, but a few de
layed to secure valuables from the car
and were swept away from the platform
or carried to death in the cars, which
went down in the rush OF waters and
were buried in the mud.

appreciated the able and persistent man
ner in which ViCe-President De Young

placed in the position of q critic of his
fellow commissioners. Mr.. Mcdonald sub
