wonderful, the six blast furnaces, with their full array of workmen, were started up this morning. Only those who have seen the utter ruin of these -works can realize what a bound towards it original prosperity ha9 been accomplished by the com. panj. Nearly 8,000 men are engaged in clearing away the wreckage, and operating the departments that are open. About twothirds of the whole number of the company's employes wero left alive by the Hood. Nearly seven hundred, or not quite onohalf of the Gautier company's nienhavo reported tor work. The Joss of men in the lower works is from one thousand to fifteen hundred. Most of the survivors were householders, but the da unburst made them paupers for the time being. They will, with the company's assistance, begin rebuilding their homes at once. By to-morrow 5,000 tents will be erected on the mountain-side. Here the people will reside until the lower part of the city is cleared of debris. Tho Cambria corn Dany expects by the end of June to be ma Icing rails. Tho new dteel plant is not damaged to any extent, and the No. 2 rolling-mill is nearly ready for work. The titne-oihee and draughtsmen-rooms are in full operation. The rod-mill will be running in two days, turning out 120 tons of finished material a day. Iho blowing engines of the blast furnaces are bat sli ghtly damaged. The general offices aro now occupied, and the company's store wild resume business to-morrow. The company's railroad, connecting the Cambria works with tho Gautier works, will have to be rebuilt. The Johnson Switch Company, whose works wero entirely swept away from "Wood vale, are making preparations to rebuild their switch-works plant on an extended scale at Moxham; three miles up the stream, and entirely away from any possibility of any recurrence of the disaster which ha9 overtaken their works here. They employ from 1,000 to l,i0 men. TheFlrtt National Bank has opened up for business, and the fact is appreciated by all here. Much trouble has been occasioned by the inability to get money here, all having to bring it hero in packages. The erection of a dynamo by the Westinghouse Electric Company, near the Pennsylvania railroad freight depot, is a most necessary work, and one who has tramped around in the dark will appreciate the lighting of the town last night. SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.

IVhat the Authorities Are Doing; to Allay the Stench and Prevent Sickness. Johnstown, June 10.The hurried burial of the dead in the Prospect Hill Cemetery is causing the residents of that beautiful suburb of Johnstown a great deal of annoyance, and may cause much sickness. The bodies were placed in cheap coffins, and none were secure, tho odor from the decomposing bodies arising to the surface and attracting a number of dogs, who make night hideous by howling and pawing over the graves. The coffins were put only three . feet under ground, as there was not time to di? the graves deeper. It was found necessary to place guards in the little cemetery, containing COO graves, to drive the dogs away. To-day Dr. Miller, of the volunteer staff of the Cambria Hospital, instructed the Americus Club members, who are in camp near the cemetery caring for some of tho refugees, to secure disinfectants at once and place them on the graves, thus killing the odor. The official bulletin of the State Board of Health, issued to-day, is as follows: . Health Bulletin No. 2. J Reports received last evening from the Inspectors t this board show that the favorable condition stated In the first report continues. No contagious disease of any kind prevails. There are a few cases of a mild type of measles. No signs of any epidemic are manifest. The State Board of Health is fully prepared to meet all emergencies as they arise. As a precautionary measure, a hospital for contagious diseases has been established, and if any cases appear they will be promptly met. The air continues pure and wholesome, and the water pure. The bodies still in the wreck are so covered with earth as not to be dangerous to health. There is every precaution being taken to prevent contamination of the water supply for the towns below Johnstown. There is no ground whatever for alarm in this matter at prenent. The bodies in the river are covered with mud and earth. , The weather is cool and favorable. Though the destruction of life ha been appallin? there is at present every reason to be encouraged. George B. uroff, M. D. Member in Charge. A circular of information has been posted in all conspicuous places abont the town, containing suggestions regarding the cleaning of houses and of personal habits. Surgeon-General Hamilton's Report. Washington, June 10. Surgeon-general Hamilton, of the Marine Hospital Service, who went to the scene of the late disaster at Johnstown, Pa., in obedience to the orders of President Harrison, returned from his visit yesterday, and immediately reported the result of his obserations and inquiries. His report was to-day made public It gives a description of the city of Johnstown at the time the riood occurred, and deals with the efforts to relieve the wants of the sufferers. "The water supply of Johnstown," ho says, "is pure and wholesome, and there is little danger of an epidemic among the inhabitants of Johnstown." Dr. Hamilton continues: "The danger point, from a sanitary point of view, is tho drift at the bridge, and this danger is not to tho inhabitants of Johnstown, but to those people depending on the lower river for their water supply. This water, if boiled before drinking, will not be unhealthy, but the thought of drinking water contaminated by dead bodies of human beings and animals is revolting. The clearing of this drift, while attended with great difficulty, will be accomplished. The published statement that animals are allowed to tloat down the river from the drift is positively untrue." In concluding his report, Dr. Hamilton says that tho charitable people of this country ought not to ceaso their contributions ofrroney for some weeks to come, and finally, that there is no danger whatever of a general epidemic. NOTES AND INCIDENTS. Over 6,000 Found In the rocket of the Victims Lewis, the Light, on Hand. Johnstown, Pa., June 10. Mr. J. N. Mun den, who is in charge of the removal of bodies from the rums, says that up to this date he had found over $6,000 in money in the pockets of victims. The largest sum was $3,114.23. The pockets . of Charles Bischoff contained $24. Mr. Munden states that the robbing of stores and dead bodies still continues, notwithstanding the guard which has been placed over the ruins by the civil authorities. The general public imagine that little care is taken by the undertakers in keeping a description of tho dead. Before each corpse is buried there is feiiuted to the shroud a card giving the number of the corpse, tho name, if known, the sex, color and complexion, tho color of hair and eyes, tho weight and height, and a careJul description of the clothing and everything especially striking about the body. A duplicate of each card is kept, and tne place where the body is buried. Mnch suffering has been occasioned by the wearing of gum boots by the men. Over sixty men of Booth & Fly no, have been obliged to quit work to-day owing to their terribly blistered feet, and many are working in their bare feet. Thefollowingdodgerwas scattered broadcast about the town to-day: PROCLAMATION. I, Lewi. Pominator of the World, decree now a new election. Death now rules over all fools; all slaving for death, not living. TU the (1) to all of life or death. Death in man's life and only enemy. Extinction of death! Wbew! Whoop! We're all la tbe soup. Who's all right I Lewi?, the Light. The New York Life Insurance Company has sent Special A ent Lang Mnir to adjust claims. there were seventy-five policies held in this city, representing fc-mouo. Within twenty-four hours the agent nad located them all. and found that fourteen of the holders had been lost. Their policies amount to $15,000. which will be paid at once. Onopolic3', held by Charles A. Kies, a baker, doing business in the center of the city, was found two miles down the river by accident. Private Dalzell has written a letter in which he says the widows and orphans whose husbands and fathers were drawing pensions on the date of the great calamity

are entitled to the accrued pensions due the soldier at tho time of his death and no longer. This also applies to those whose pension claims were pending. Ho further suggests that all the insurance companies should publish a list of the persons having policies in their companies in the flooded district, because, in many cases, the policies are lost. Father Trautmein, pastor of tho Church of the Immaculato Conception, reports that out of a congregation of 150 he has lost 113, and thinks the drowned will reach 150. Men were put to work this morning in dragging the tank of the gas-works, on which there is at least twenty-five feet of water. It is believed there are a number of bodies in the tank, which will be reached to-night. The train from Pittsburg this morning brought up a large crew, among whicn were 'J00 aimen from Michigan, who were put at once to work on heavy timbers above the bridge. The timbers are being piled xi and as soon as sufficiently dried will be fired. This is what has been urged for some time, and will more effectually remoye the debris than weeks of hauling the timber away as has been heretofore done. WILL RAISE 81,000,000. The Plan by Which Money Will Be Raised for Clearing Away the Wreck. Philadelphia, June 10. At the conference between Governor Beaver and Mayor Fitler, at the tatter's office, on Saturday afternoon, the question of placing Johnstown and vicinity in a good sanitary condition was thoroughly discussed. The Governor contended that the Concmaugh river and Stony creek should be thoroughly cleaned and the debris removed from the now famous raijroad bridge. Tho Mayor suggested that an extra session of the Legislature be called for the purpose of making an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the prosecution of this work. He claimed that the money subscribed by the people of this

city and other places was subscribed for a specific purpose that of feeding and clothing the sufferers and that it was the duty of the State to place the towns in good sanitary condition. Governor Beaver coincided in these views, but thought that it was an unnecessary waste of money to call an extra session of the Legislature, as it would cost at least a quarter of a million of dollars to do so, and suggested that some plan . be adopted whereby the State Treasurer could use tho amount required and be guaranteed by cit- . m l A A . A M . 9 A lzens or me aiaie, m tne event oi tne next Legislature failing to make an appropri ation of money expended in the work. The Mayor thought that this was an excellent idea, and announced that he was prepared to go on a bond as one of two hundred for So.ooo. A rough draft of a bond was drawn up and taken by the Governor to Johnstown yesterday. Governor Beaver returned to this city from Johnstown this afternoon, and held another conference with Mayor Fitler. At the close of the conference the following copy of a bond of indemnity, prepared ly tne two gentlemen, was given out lor publication: Whereas. James A. Beaver has this dav elven his bond to William B. llart. Mate Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in tho penal sum of $1,000,000. conditioned for the payment of whatever moneys may be advanced by the said William B. liart for the purpose of clearing the streams and abating public nuisances which threaten tbe health and safety of tue people of this Commonwealth, caused by the late floods which have destroyed so much of life and property in the Concmaugh and West Branch valley?; and. Whereas. There is not snfflclent time to assemble the Legislature, in order to secure a regular appropriation for the worlr. which is absolutely necessary to be done for the preservation ox tne health and safety of the people; 'ow, therefore. We. the undersigned, citizens and corporations of the Commonwealth of Peimsylvania, each for himself, and no one for any other, hereby guarantee the payment of the said bond to the extent of $5,000, and no more, upon the following conditions: First This guarantee not to be binding until signed by two hundred Individuals or corporations. Second If more than two hundred persons sign this guarantee, then tbe liability of each signer under the same be proportionately reduced. Third The liability of each to be for a pro rata share of whatever amount may be expended by tbe paid James A. Beaver for the purposes aforesaid, not exceeding the Tenalty of tbe bond. Fourth This guarantee to be binding only in case the Legislature should fall to make an appropriation for the work undertaken to be car ried out ny tne uovernor. tnrougn tne state Board of Health, under the police powers of the State. Witness our hands and Reals, this 10th day of June, A. "When I first thought of this scheme." said Governor Beaver, at the conclusion of the couference, T came to Philadelphia to see Mayor Fitler, and was so thoroughly backedup by him that I went ahead to earn it out. While in Johnstown, vesterday, I consulted with the Pittsburg authorities and found them heartily in accord with it, and on my way back I arranged with a contractor named O'Donnell to go ahead with the work on general busi ness principles, and with ono or two thousand men remove all the debris in the Conemaugh at Johnstown, ana purify tbe water in the stream. I don't think we will have any trouble in getting two hundred citizens to go on that guarantee." T have that many Philadelphians al ready," interrupted tne Mayor, "and ex pect to have live hundred before it stops." "That's good," rejoined the Governor. "Almost every Pittsburger I met who had sCny money was willing to go on the bond. 1 think myself that the amount necessary for the work is greatly exaggerated, but so xuucii is to be done that it will cost anya sanita ry precaution. In other words. I operate under the police powers of the State, declare the Conemaugh river a public nuisance and direct that the nuisance shall be abated as quick as possible. It is my opinion that the amount of monev which would be required for an extra session of tho Legislature will pay for all the work that is to be done, but I think that the Legislature will make an appropriation at tho next session to pay for all xnai is necessary." Appeal for Help from Lockhaven. Lockhaven, Pa., June 10. At a meeting of citizens held to-day a resolution was adopted requesting that tho following be given to the Associated Press: To the reoule of the United States This citv has been devastated by the recent great flood, and Immediate assistance Is needed. Our streets, alleys and homes are in a friarhtf ul condition, and money is needed at once to save us from an epidemic. We are receiving a generous supply of provisions, but Lockhaven alone is not the only place to be supplied. Many people In near-by small towns have lost everything they had, and are dependeut upon us for money and provisions. We need disinfectants badly, and monev with which to hire teams and men from a dis tance to help clean our streets and cellars. There was not a square inch of land within the corporate limits of the city proper that was not submerged, and when the water subsided it left a layer of mud and tilth which, under the stronz sim of to-day creates a stench that is almost un bearable. The contents of vaults and cess pools are in our cellars and on our main thorouchfares, and nothing will save us from a frightful epidemic unless help comes promptly and gen erously. Elks Called Upon for Contributions. Washington. June 10. Dr. Hamilton E. Leach, exalted grand ruler of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, has issued the following notice. To All Lodges It. P.

DELICIOUS LITTLE PUItrLE WORMS. An Article of Food Which the riute Indians Gather In Largo Quantities. New York Tribune, When, in l&i'J. the California gold fever was making itself felt throughout the country, J. M. Keeler was a young man Bving in the East. He was not proof against the impulso to seek his fortune m the mines, and came to New York with the lioDo of findinsr partners. In this he was not disappointed, and with a number of otners ne cnarxerea a ew jneans piictci, stocked it with provisions to last a year and a half, sailed around Cape Horn and reached the Golden Gate in safety. Since then Mr. Keeler has lived almost continuously in California, but is now visiting this city, and has brought with him many tine mineralogical specimens. After showing these to a Tribune reporter the other d y, he handed to the latter a small bottle baying, "Do you Know what thoso things arel' In the bottle wero a dozen or more dark-colored objects. shrivelled but juicy looking. Tho average length was about ono inch, and they had the appearance of luscious raisins. The reporter said ho supposed that was what they were. The Caliiornian 6miled, too, as he said: "No, they are not; they're worms." Then he went on to say that they were considered a great luxury by the Piute Indians. 'I call them tho nut-pine worm, because they feed on tho nut-pine tree; what tho scientific name is I do not know. On tho eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains, in southern California, between Bodie and Bishop's creeks, is a great stretch of these nut-pine trees. They bear a small nut, extremely rich in oil. bo rich are they that you don't want to eat manv of them. In August the ground uuder the trees begins to be covered with green worms, as thick as a man's linger and from one and a half to two and a half inches in length. The worms soon grow wings and liy into the trees. Tho worm, which should now be dignified by the name of butterfly, does not leave the tree, but soars around among tho branches, extracting the oil from the nuts. In about a month tho body is full of oil; so full, in fact, that tho entrails have been forced out. Then tho wings fall off. "It is about this timo that the Piutcs make their appearance and camp among the trees. They come in large numbers and provided with tacks. Tho worm having lost its wings again.it crawls along the limbs of tho tree to the trunk and falls to the gronud. Incidentally it falls into a trap prepared by the Indians. To prevent the worms from escaping, they dig trenches around the roots of the tree, tho trenches having concave sides. I have known of a bushel of worms being taken from ono of these trenches. When the crop of worms has been harvested, the Indians build tires on tiat stones or the hard earth. When the bed has become hot. not hot enough to roast, the worms are spread upon it and dried. They ar then placed in the sacks and carried to the Piute camps. A friend of mine once told me that he had one season estimated that fifty tons of these worms were gathfrcd and dried." "How do the Indians no the worms!' "In soups. The Piutes seem never to tiro of soup. They have it almost every day. A buck is allowed two worms and a squaw one for each dish of soup. Sometimes a gillant Indian gives a pretty or popular squaw one of his portion. The worms aro not eaten until the soup has been consumed, tbey being reserved as a tinal tid-bit. I have tasted the worms and fouud them very palatable. They aro rich and oily l&e the nut ujKn which they iced."
