TIIE SEEDS OF JOHNSTOWN An Appeal from the Finance Committee Asking the Fowarding of Relief Fands. Neces sity for Immediate Use ofthejloney How It la Contemplated to Relieve the Sufferers and Start the People Anew. Pittsburg, Pa.. Jane 27. The following sorumunication has ben prepared for tho pre m. -with a request that it be given general publicity: MJouiwrow5. Pa-, Jan 26. To All Committees Ho I din; road for Belief of : Johnstown 8afferers: "The Johnstown finance committee for Ine relief of sntlerers bv the flood would represent to you that tnere is urgent necesity for the prompt and wiso use of the money which ha been generously contrib- ; nted "bv the country for the alleviation of . the distress of our enflering people. Large as these sums have been they will be utterly inadequate to do more than to mitigate the present distress, and to aid the com Taunity to make an effort for. eelf-help. Their patienco has been unprecedented, and they are now beginning with courage to Teconstruct, in tome temporary fashion, heltrfor their families, aud places, in which business can be carried on. It is uupos&ible for the committee, or anr number of committees, to supply this community with the thiegs it needs. It Is really in need of everything, aud the only practical war of helping it is to put into tlie hands of "the individual members of the community money by which they can get what they need, not merely for their subsistence, but for all the various requirements of a people -who are beginning life anew on a de,vasted tract of land on which their fair city stood. 'Our committee has ben in receipt of contributions of money tent us from all over -the country. Wo have tised, necessarily, a portion of this money for the labor incident to tho distribution of supplies of food, clothing and shelter, the collecting of statistics, etc. We have waited anxiously for pome movement to be made on th part of the committees throughout tho country Laving larre sums of money in their hands, which would indicate what they intend to do with those funds. We can wait no longer. Tho necessity U so great for prompt action that our couiruitteo has been obliged to adopt a plan of lining its pittance of money for the immediate relief of tho sufferers. It has set ou foot, and will have completed shortly, an accurate registration of all the surviving sufferer, ami it is proposed as an equitable and quick method to reach their first pressing wants to divide the money which it holds equally among them. Tho sum which will be given to each will necfSMrilv be small, nut it will inspire them "with the hope that the larger amounts of money contributed for their relief may epeedily become available, and it will givo a better heart and a fresher hope to those who are now struggling- to re-establish themselves in their lost employments and vocations. "The position here is as follows: The working people arc offered ample employment, and as they are people who own their own noraes, they are sticking to Johnstown in spite of their present privations. Our. merchants and tradesmen, seeing this, are quickly opening their stores in shanties, or "board ouildings of any type. Wo have thus, on the one hand, a community needing cuiongh supplies from the merchants to do a good bu&incss. and, on the other hand, tho merchants making an earnest effort to supply this demand, if wecan bring these two together, and keep them together during the next sixty days, our community -will again be self-sustaining. Hut, already, the inability of our people to purchase is causing great despondency upon the part of the merchants, which, if not speedily . checked, will cause further want ami helplessness. There is but one method to check this, namely: to furnish the people the -funds with which to go to the merchants and make the purchases of that which relieve them from their sufferings. Two needs are before ns: First, to commence distribution immediately, and, second, to continue it on a basis equitable to all and .satisfactory to the country. "The registration spoken of above takes into account merely the number of Survivors to bo reached quickly by the first distribution. The above is for speed. Following this the eatno machinery will collect close and accurate statistics, so that by the time the good effects of tho tirst distribution have worn away we will be ready for a fair and equitable further distribution of further sums secured, based, not upon the number of flood-sufferers, but upon their respective losses. Coincident with this distribution, we are making all the arrangements here that we can make to curtail tho free distribution of supplies of all sorts, in order to check two large evils first, waste of money contributed by the Nation, which is caused by the immense- amount of valuable material coming here the very things that are not needed while the things thnt are needed, the people, as wo say, are absolutely suffering for; second, to check the demoralizing effect upon the manhood of our inhabitants. Those who were good men before the flood are becoming demoralized and npset by the fact they rind they can live without work. Nor must they be 'blamed after what they have pone through. It i9 only human nature. Nev-. ertheless, it is something to be quickly checked. A little thought must convince you that no committee, however perfect, can satisfactorily and perfectly meet tho wants of at least 20.000 people when each ono has different wants. We will add another strong argument in favor of our plan. Granted that the Nation has contributed $1,000,000. Tho quicker that money reaches the suffererj the more of it they will get. It costs money to take care of the organization which distributes. The more quickly this organizations effects its purpose the greater tho percentage of this assumed million dollars will reach its proper channel. We understand that you are holding a fund devoted for this purpose, pending some arrangement for its proper distribution. We would strongly urge you to consider the f lan we lay before you, and we beg of you hat unlesa you can suggest something better to at once como to our aid with your fund. Do not wait longer on the proposed action of anybody else, but act only and for yourself. If you do not approve of our plan, vre stand ready to change it or remedy it. We stand ready to do anything that will quickly bridge over the present sufferings of this community. We urge you to send your fund here for distribution, and to send l with it some trustworthy representative who "will aid our committee, giving him full power to speak for the fund you contribute. We urge von to send some ono prepared to stay with us for at least sixty nays, it not a volunteer, then some one whom you ran employ and pav for hisservices. We ask that yon consider this carefully, and let us hear from you very promptly. We may add that our plan has been submitted to a full meeting of the citizens, and has met with their unqualified and unanimous approval. Please let us hear from you quickly Very respectfully yours, "J AM K8 MCM ILLEX, "Chairman Johnstown Finance Committee; Cykus Elikr, 'Secretary Johnstown Finance Committee." . Governor Beaver's Plan for ltellcf. IIaruisburo, Pa., June 27. At a meeting of the flood relief committee this afternoon the following was issued: "To the Public That the donors of the funds in the hands of the flood relief commissiou may know how their generous gifts are to be disposed of, aud that the expectant recipients of the same may uot form erroneous views of, and foster improper expectations for, the same, it is now oflicially declared and announced that tho following principles shall govern tho distribution of relief: "L In that the said fund is in the nature of a charity to the needy, and not aa a general indemnity for losses sustained. That a distribution per capita would bo manifestly unjust, as it would go aliko to the rich and poor, and alike to all that sutler, no matter what their needs or extent of their suffering. "3. That a distribution by percentages on the amount of losses would bo manifestly unjust, as it would result in giving tho largest sum to tho person having lost the most, without regard tg the, value of the remaining estates of such person. "4. Ihat this fund cannot be used for the beuefit of any tcrivate or public corporation. "5 That tho fund must go onlv to the most needy sufferers from tho floods in accordance with and in the spirit of tho trust imposed upon it by the donors. . At the unanimous request of the commission Hon. Hugh U. Cummin was reQuested to procced.to Johnstown and re

main thl're as the president, representative ami executive oflicer of this commission in the Conemaugh valley .M The above card was signed James A. Beaver, chairman, and by the other commissioners. Progress of the Work.r Johnstown, Pa., Jane 27. The transportation department was closed to-day, and for a time no passes over any railroad will be issued from here. The local finance committee met this afternoon. A telegram was received from Governor Beaver approving the committee's suggestions for the houses. The Governor is willing for the master carpenter to go ahead and build temporary houses out of the lumber shipped, instead of ordering any more of the Chicago portable honses. Five bodies were found to-day. Two of them were identified. Notwithstanding the rain this afternoon, work was pushed forward rapidly. Every effort is being made to get the bulk of the military away from here by Saturday. Many of the more conservative citizens are apprehensive' that the contemplated departure of the soldiers will -be a dangerous move. They are fearful that an abandonment of tho military restraints will encourage lawlessness, as there are certainly many questionable characters now here waiting an opportunity to pillage and steal. The civil authorities are fearful that they have not sufficiently recovered from their paralyza-: 'tion to assunio control under the circumstances.. .

Colonel HndQn, and otbers waited on General Hastings this morning with a vie to having a day appointed for the purpose but as yet the General has given no decision. liio tact tnat very many or. tne unfortunates here, known and unknown, were buried without services has led to the suggestion, which is popular anion ir the people here, especially among the State oiheers, who are anxious to take part in the affair before leaving. At an informal meeting of tho Masonio fraternity of Johnstown and Cambria City, last night, it was decided to close their relief stores and wind up the distribution of supplies to Masonic families. The two lodges have about $12,000 for distribution among families here. A uispatcn from Chicago says: Win. McCrrery, of Pittsburg, chairman of tho Johnstown relief committee, is in the city. and held a conference with .Mayor Uregier and other members of the local Jonnstown committee, to whom he explained tho condition of affairs of the stricken city. He says that it is in contemplation to spend tho remainder of the $500,000 in tho hands of his committee in furnishing houses and furniture for the sufferers at the rate of about $300 each. Mr. McCreery called on tho Mayor at the request of Governor Heaver, who desired him to ascertain if it was possible to get any more than tho 800 ready-made houses already ordered from Chicago.

CORNELL DEFEATS COLUMBIA. The Latter Crew Fall Exhausted in Their Boat at the Close of the Eace New London, Conn., June 27. The feat ures of to-day's boat races were tho exciting contest between Cornell aud Columbia, and the sensational collapse of the Columbia crew the instant they crossed the finish line. When they stopped rowing, six of them Bradley, No. 1; Meiklehem, No. 2; Robertson, No, S; O'Gorman, No. 4; Foote, No. 5, and Klapp, No. 6, fell over in a dead faint, completely exhausted. Five of tne six broken-down men recovered consciousness within a few minutes, but Meiklehem was unconscious for fully thirty minutes. Tho six men mentioned were then lifted out of their shell and placed on board the Carrie Goodwinn. While these transfers were being made, the two other men in the Columbia boat, Tuttle, No. 5, and Pelton, stroke, also fainted and had to be assisted out of their boat. When the Colum bia launch arrived at their ouartersthe entire Columbia crew were lifted out and carried to their rooms and put to bed. The men were in pretty bad shape. They had been rowed to a stand-still, and had com pletely broken down. Tuttle, No. 5, was quite excited, ana at times slightly delirious. Meikelhem and several others were slightly hysterical, and showed plainly the effects of the severe strain under which they had w a m m .a 1 a 1 ? ueen, and oi me nign tension oi ineir nerves when they found themselves defeated. Jasper Goodwin, the famous Co lumbia oarsman, admitted that the men were b-idly used up. aud were still under the weather, but that there was nothing serious. From other sources it was learned that shortly after tho race a physician . mm. : j a i . was Bummoneu. auj uocior is uuw with the men. at 10 r. m., and it is understood that he will remain at the Columbia quarters all night as a precautionary measure. Many alarming rumors are current about the condition of two of the Columbian, but the Columbia men assert that they will be all right in the morning. The Cornell men, who pulled a wonderfully plucky race, are around to-night, feeling bright and sound as a dollar. The following is the oflicial time: Freshman race: Harvard. 12:21: Columbia, 12:28. In the triangular race no time was taken of any crow but Columbia, and this is not ofhcial. The approximate time, as taken from tho press boat, is, Columbia, 15:30. WILL TAKE FlilESTLY TOWS.

REAL ESTATE SHARKS. A Gang of Swindlers Who Have Been Nego tiating Bogus Mortgages Upon Property. St. Paul, Juno 27. Last Saturday a real estate man named Stcnsgard negotiated a loan of fi,500 with W. D. Jenney, of Harrisburg, Pa., giving as security a mortgage on a block of laud valued at about 15,000, owned by a wealthy brewer, of Milwaukee, named Uhlein. Stcnsgard produced a deed showing that ho had purchased the property from Uhlein for $12,000. It turned out that the deed was a forgery. Stensgard protested that ho purchased tho property from a man whom he supposed was Uhlein. In connection with this real estate fraud it is now learned that this is only ono of a series of frauds; that a gang of real estate sharks and swindlers has long existed in this city. This gang has for some time past been conducting extensive operations by means of forging signatures, using f ictitious names and selling and making bogus mortgages. Up to the present time the Uhlein is the most prominent case, but before the investigation is euded it will be found to be but a small portion of tho vast amount of fraud and robbery which has been going on during the past two rears, necoruer ai. i. jeu estimates xnat ie has several hundred bojrus deeds and rt 1 m ( II a . . mortgages tilled in his office by the gang. anu uiat mo luiai ui me wxioie muse reacn 1100,000.

The mother died, and the writer was adopted by a family whose name she does not give. She has lived with the family ever since. "I never knew." she writes, "what my right name was until recently, for the folks who took me when my mother died would never let me know anything about my parents. I donot know what my mother's name was, and I do not know whether my father is living or dead." She is anxious to find out what town in France her mother caino from. Monument to a Fighting Fnritan. Mystic, Conn., June 27.The monument to Captain John Mason called the "defender of New England in 1CJ7 " was unveiled yesterday on Peqnot Hill, the site of the old Pequot fort. The pedestal is eight s;L feet high, and the statue represents a lighting Puritan of heroic size. It is verv iruponing. and from it can be seen three States and four counties, twenty islands and seven light-houses. Captain Mason's claim to this honor is due to the fact that when the population of the Connecticut colony was only 250 aud the hostile Peqnot Indians, after reducing the number, wero resolved upon murdering them all, Mason and his seventy men, aided by the Uncas and a small band of Mohicans, marched upon a band of Pequot Indians of 700, nearly a

whole tribe, killed and slaughtered all bat seven, and burned the village and put an end to their murderous work.
