The JOhnstown Flood horror re
mains nightmare in the minds OF
many people. 1t was on May %
1899. that the big dam broke in
the Comemaugh Valley. The press
in regard to the disaster, said four
days later - June - that the
scene in Johnstown beggared de
scription. The worst, it was said
would probably never be known for
the reason that the flood and fire
had so scattered the victims thru
such wide extent of territory
that no record could be made and
only list made of a few thousand
missing. Many people had left
Johnstown, their all having been
destroyed. Burned and ground to
pieces at the great dam of debris
at the Pennsylvania Railroad
bridge, were the remains of hun
dreds of people. Underneath the
ruins of the town were many more
Swept along down the river, lodged
in driftWOOd on the banks caught
i'll dams, and lodged in trees and
houses at the bottom, were still
more. From under the large brick
school house, 124 bodies were taken
and in every corner and place bod
les were being found and buried
as fast as possible. A number of
bodies were found with bullet holes
in them, showing conclusively
that in their maddened fright sui
eide was resorted to by many.
The latest estimates put the loss
Of life at from 10000 to 10000. A
dispatch from Johnstown under
date Of June 4, stated that nearly
1000 bodies had been recovered.
What was considered a miracle
was recited by the press, as fol-
loves: "The miracle, as it was
called and which happened at the
Church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton, has caused a tremendous SEN
sation. A large number of persons
will testify as to the nature of the
event. May devotions were in
progress on Friday night when the
water descended on Cambria City.
The church was filled with people
at the time and when the noise of
the flood was heard the cOngrega-
ton hastened to get out of the
way. They succeeded as far as es.
Gaping from the interior is concern
ed and in few minutes the
church was partially submerged,
the water reaching Is feet up the
sides and swirling around the cor
ners furiously. The building was
badly wrecked, the benches were
torn out, and in general the entire
structure, both inside and outside,
was fairly dismantled. Yesterday
morning when an entrance was
forced through the blocked door
way, the ruin seemed to be COM
plete. One object alone had escap-
ed the waters wrath The statue
of the Blessed Virgin, that had
been decorated and adorned be-
cause Of the May devotions, was as
unsullied as the day it was made.
The flowers, the wreaths, the lace
veil, were undisturbed and unsoiled.
Not a wrinkle was observable in
it's outlines. The marks on the
walls showed that the surface of
the water had risen to a height of
Is feet, while the statue, which is

The Low Down On
Hi GROVE

You won't pick up a paper
except you see where they are
finding some new way to. clamp
down on business. You would
think business was some kind
of a Jesse James. And while
they clamp down, business pbods
along and builds more 6-shoot-
ers, and planes, and battleshipS.
Politics makes the flowery
talks. Business Tugs the burden
and is the goat. Nobody ever
pats business on the head and
says, Buddy, you are dom a
Skookum job" That would be a
faux pas. of the first water.
We have all kinds OF celebra-
tons and feStivities-birthdayS,
labor days, and election days,
etc. But q day for saying a good
word for businessmen on your
tin-type. But every dog has his
day. We even got around, in
time, to having a Fathers Day.
So who can say, about business.
Maybe manana.
Yours with the low down,
