TEE TALLEY OF CONEMAUGH Experience of aTravelerin That Region Desolated by the Furiou3 Waters. Escorted in Plain Phrase, the Conditions There Appeal to Humanity for All the AssistanwThat Can Given Relief Funds.

John S. Lazarus, in his trip East, was hronght immediately iu lino of the great disaster in Conexnaugh t alley. While his trail; ws ahead of tho flood, the experience he "trent through is such ae rarely occurs, lfrs. Lew Wallace, Mr. Henry Crawford, the railway lawyer, Mr. II. p. Wassoa nd myself" he said last night, in recounting his trip, "were on the Atlantic express, JCo. 20. We were detained at Sonman, the limited being at South Forks and the two day expresses at Conemangh, by a washout near Lillys. We reached Altoona Saturday afternoon, and finding the road blockaded east of that point I took a train back to South Forks Sunday morning, hoping to reach the B. &. O. railway south of Johns4att 1 ITTI. Willi n 4- CIL 1 visited the broken dam, and could discover no traces of masonry or timber-work nothing but aa earth fill, lined in:gide with broken rock and outside with large bowlders. The wasteiway was obstructed by beams and iron grating to prevent the escape of fish. I was reliably informed that tho average depth of the water for three and one-half miles was thirty-one feet, and at the time of the break it was eighty-seven, feet deep .at trie deepest point. "The farms between the dam and South Forks, two and one-half miles, were covered with rock and graveL At South Forks the destruction was enormous, thirty houses, the railway bridge, track and equipment being washed away. At Altoona. just after our arrival Saturday.it . was my misfortune to eee a boy fall under the wheels pf a moving train. His leg was broken, and while on the return to Altoona. two persons jumped through tho .window of the car in which I ;was sitting and broke their legs. So great was the ercitement tho whole train-load of people irere stampeded by tho cry that "the track in giving away." On JMonday morning I arrived at Ebensburg, rhere, with great difficulty, I secured a learn and reached Johnstown about 4 Vclock that afternoon over a bad mountIain road, and in the rain. We first saw tho 'trenches for the dead on the hill, and our jtirst realization of the extent of tho disaster was the view from the mountain, in the Tear of the Pennsylvania railway tiepot, where the whole valley, vfroia Conemangh to Cambria, could be seen. With the exception of the few wrecked and battered houses,, the whole valley is a barren waste. Passing .Through the guards at the Pennsylvania uepot, a Duiiamg tnat is now used as a S ridge where we saw the compact mass f wrecked buildings, locomotives, (tenders, machinery and every conceivable article of iron and steel, all crushed together by hydraulic pressure equal to millions of tons. Owing to the mass of metal, i-I do not see how it is possible to burn the bodies, as has fcen suggested. Below the bridge i the buildings remaining in the village of I Cambria are probably demolished, turned over or crushed together. Household goods, .pianos, parts of buildings, animals and vel bicles are piled in great heaps, j "Along the railroads are the dead some in (coffins. Others exposed, waiting identification or the dead-wagon to carry them Hiway. The stench from the burning mass 'at the bridge was dreadful. Men had halfclid motherless infants in their 'amis, and .xtothers wero seeking food and clothing .for fatherless children. None of the coal mines were flooded. After four hours of these horrible sights X managed to secure a seat in an over-crowded train for Pittsbnrrr. ttx? trior! tn thft ntmmnlifrfl of death and desolation.

Two thousand dollars more was sont to Pennsylvania yesterday, making a total of $3,000 remitted by the board, and leaving a balance, at noon yesterday, of $6(3.58.

Fine Keception Given by Mr. and Sirs. Ilam to Th?ir Diitinguishcd Friend. There was a delightful reception given last night by Mr. and Mrs. John B. Elam in honor of the Attorney-general and Mrs. W. II. II. Miller, this being the iirst visit home of Mr. Miller since bo went to Washinton. It was an occasion on which very many friends ottered their greetings and welcomed an old citizen who still calls Indianapolis his home. It was also the first time Mr. and Mrs. Elam have received their friends in their beautiful new home on Park avenue. The grounds looked like fairy-land, made so by colored lanterns outside, while within there were HowerH, plants, ferns, banks of tropical vinos, with roses, carnations and pansiea for favors in the refreshment-rooms. The host and hostess were assisted by Kev. Oscar C McCnlloch and wife, Mr. and Mrs, W. A. Hell. Dr. and Mrs. O. 8. Kunnels, Mr. and Mrs. Horace McKay, Mr. and Mrs. .Johg T. Leckhder, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Koouey. and Mrs. CantweliJohuson. Prof. Wm. Zumpfe's orchestra furnished the music, which added not a little to tho pleasure. An attractive part of tho hospitality was the lemonade-table, elaborately covered with flowers, and presided over by Miss Jessie Miller and Miss Jessie Laird. Among the many guests who filled the spacious parlors from 7 till 11 o'clock were Jnilgo and Mrs. W. A. Woods, Kcv. Dr. James McLeod. Kev. Dr. and Mrs. M. L. Haines, Attorney-general and Mrs. L. T.

The election for school commissioners for tho Third, Fourth, Seventh and Eighth districts, yesterday, excited a good deal of interest in all buttheThird, although there was no politics involved. In the Third, Dr. F. S. Newcomber had no opponent, and consequently a light vote was polled, only 77 being cast, ne will succeed Dr. Henry Jameson, who for several years has been a valuable member of the board, and is now its president. The result in the Seventh was somewhat of a surprise, John A. lluddenbaum being elected over Frederic Kline, the incumbent, by a majority of 25. Mn Buddenbaum received votes and Mr. Kline 229. Until noon, more than two-thirds of the votes cast were for tho defeated candidate, but between 1 and 4 o'clock his competitor began to rally his forces, and by employing carriages managed to get out cvery ruan in tho district who would support him. Both candidates are German Republicans, and the contest was an entirely friendly one. Mr. Kline has been a good commissioner, and retires with the respect of his constituents. Mr. Buddenbaum is engaged in the grocery business on Fletcher avenue, and has tho qualifications to be very serviceable in his office. A heavy vote was polled in the Eighth distiict, but tho contest was one-sided, E. L. Williams, the incumbent, being reelected over Dr. Joseph W, Marsce by a majority of 518. His vote was 761; Mr. Marsee'a, 243. Personally, the Doctor made no effort , to eecuro the position. He allowed his name to be used at the earnest solicitation of his friends, and left the management of his campaign entirely to them. Tho greatest interest centered in the Fourth district, where A. R. Baker, tho incumbent, was opposed by Anderson Lewis, colored. There was a large crowd around the voting place all day, and almost as much excitement as at a presidential election. A dozen or more hacks were hired, and every effort made to get out every vote in the district. While the contest was exciting, it was good-natured. Tho total number of votes cast in tho district was 1.853, of which Mr. Baker received 762 and Mr. Lewis 591, giving Mr. Baker a majority of 171. It was the lirst time a colored mau even made the race for school commissioner, and Mr. Lewis made a very creditable fight. He is a wagoumaker on West North street, and if elected a member of the board would have tilled the office with great credit, VOTERS OF CENTER TOWNSHIP. Some Classes Lose a Little iu tho Last Enumeration, but the Americans Gain. The enumeration of voters, taken every six years, has just been completed in Center township. The last enumeration was taken under the direction of Trustee King, and showed 24,547 voters. The total now is 81,500, or an average yearly increase of 1,159. The comparative classification of the chief nationalities and races is as follows: 1883. 1SS9. Americans 14,163 20,532 Germans. 5,244 5,159 Colored 2,126 2.G99 Irish 2,043 1,877 Knxllah 360 459 Scotch- 140 103 French. 156 119 Danes 73 (3 Italians 50 Of the voters in tho township, 2.S54 reside outside tho corporate limits of Indianapolis. This leaves 2S,646 over 2,000 more votes than were cast at the presidential election. As there were 19.004 votes cast at tho election in 1880. when the census showed a population of 75.056. the 6ame ratio would give this city now a population of 114.5S4. A comparison of tho columns of 18S3 and ISM) shows that the German and the Irish voters have lost in numbers, the former 83. tho latter lGd. The colored voter is 553 stronger than he was six years ago. American-born voters appear to be increasing in numbers, the year 139 showing a gain of e,S09. The Consolidation Agreement. Articles of agreement between the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis fe Chicago, the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis and tho Indianapolis & St. Louis railroad companies, were filed ivith the Secretary of State yesterday. The capital stock of the consolidated company U $30,500,000. and is divided Into 20C,000 share, of $100 each, and 100,000 shares of $100 each, of preferred stock.

THE DANCES OF ALL NATIONS

A Brilliant Spectacle in Which Yonth and Beauty of the City Will Take Part. Scenes That Will Represent Terpsichorean Art Exemplified by Barbarians as Well as the Civilized List of the Dancers. A full dress rehearsal was called for the Kirmess last night, and the large stage of English's Opera-house was tilled with groups of young people, costumed as representatives of many nations. The north German, Swedish peasants, Japanese, Spanish, Indians, 6quawsf gypsies, Egyptians and Greeks were plentiful. Their various trappings made a gay scene, and the sound of the bells and other properties added to the babel of voices, made one wonder how Manager McDonnell would ever bring order out of such a seeming chaos. At his word, however, order was restored and the dances were performed. The slow movements of some, tho quick stepping of others, or the peculiar jerkiness, liko tho Japanese, gave as much variety to the dances as there was in the costumes. The iueen of the Kinness is to be Mrs. Wm. L. Elder, and in the opening scene she will be surrounded by all the participants. After the grand procession of the nations, the dances will be given by the following: DANCE OF THE JttLE-WOKSHirKRS. Olive Gaston.

This is the tenth Kirmess that Mr. McDonnell has given, and in each he endeavors to give an artistic performance, no matter what the sacrifice may be, that will insure its success. The music is to be a special feature, and every number has been selected with the view of having it harmonious with the idea of the dance. Tho Serformanco is decidedly out of the orinary line of homo entertainments, and for two hours each evening a series of the most beautiful pictures tho mind cau conceive will be presented. There will bo a change of programme each night, so there will be something new at each J performance for the visitor to sec. Ir. McDonnell has been at work four weeks drilling the young people, and a good performance may be expected. Every dance has to be faultlessly executed before given to the public, and a great deal of labor has been expended in bringing each one of the two hundred in it up to the desired work. Tho Kirmess will be given at English's Opera-house, and crowded houses will no doubt be the result. The arlair is under the auspices of the ladies of St. Paul's Church, and their individual and united efforts have been instrumental in bringing together the material with which the director will present a unique and delightful entertainment. Attractions at the Edn Musee. Although the Park Theater closed last night for tho season, the Eden Musee will remain open Indefinitely, changing attractions weekly. Professor Jukes will be one of the fixtures, but other novelties will be presented from time to time, and the place is to be made a popular resort during the summer months. The first novelty will come this week, when J. P. Miller will introduce his "Pigs in Clover. The Idea Is taken from the little puzzle which caused such a craze a few weeks since, but Is very much more extensive and interesting. Mr. Miller proioaes to introduce real pigs and a pen fourteen feet square, made of wire. He offers a prize of $10 to any one irho wUl put the porkers iu a pen made after the deslcn of the small puzzle. Four rigs are to be used, and everybody Is to be given a chance at the prize. Tho novelty has attracted a great deal of attention elsewhere, and is said to bo a very amusing thine. The engagement will open to-morrow atteruoon.
