INFERIOR MATERIAL. WAS USED. The Dam TTas Jfot Constructed of Granit . od Llmettoa Cloimod. JonTrTOW?-, Fa., June 4. I notice that the Tetry of the South Fork fishing club said yesterday that the club had not filed an indemnity bond, aa claimed by a citizen of EbensInrr, and that no complaint had ever been Tnle about the safety of the dam by any of the Johnstown citizens. He i undoubtedly cerrect as to the bond, bot in misleading as to the second part of his statement. There i sot a shadow of doubt bnt that the citizens of

Cambria oonnty frequently complained, and that at the time the dam wu constructed a rery rigorous effort was made to pnt a stop to the work. It is trne that the leader in this movement was not a citizen of Johnstown, but he vm a large mine owner in Cambria county. His mine adjoins the reservoir property. He related to me on Saturday the story of his labors in an effort to protect the lives and property of the people in that ralley. He was frequently on the spot, and his own engineer inspected the work. He says the embankment was principally of shale and clay, and that straw was used to stop the leaking of the water while the work was going on. lie called on the sheriff of Cambria county, and told him it was his duty to apply to the court for an injunction. The shentf promised to fire the matter bis attention, but instead of goiug before court went to the Cambria iron company for consultation. An employe was sent up to make an inspection, and, as Lis report was favorable to the reservoir work, the sherif went no further. But the gentleman referred to said he had not failed to make public his protest at the time and to renew it frequently. The reader will note the remarkable conflict between tbat shale and clay story of the mine owner, referred to above, and the published statement of Gen. Morehead. who had charge of the construction, that the roaonry was of solid granite and limestone, and was believed to be as enduring as the pyramids of Egypt. The awfal disaster wonld seem to confirm the allegation of the ose of unfit materials in its construction. The nnmberof passengers of the day express known to have been lost is six; beside these there are two ladies missing and unaccounted for, but who may yet be alive. A conductor who was at Conemaugh on that fati:l day claims to have run through the cars and told tbe passengers to run to the mountain. The passengers who survive are anxious to make the acquaintance of that conductor. They certainly neither saw him nor heard him on Friday. Other trainmen stood manfully at their posts and did noble work. William Henry Smith.

Mrs. Kalt and Son Safe. Philadelphia, June 4. Among the passentrers who escaped from the iil-fated train at Conemaugh, and who are now safe at Altoona, are Mrs. E. M. Kail and son of Liberty, Ind. Lnlu Cubleight of Logansport, Ind., is also imong the passengers here. A THOUSAND FUNERALS Coursed Their Way Over the Green mils to Silent and Unknown Graves. JOTTNPTOvrif, Pa., June 5. The trray mists had scarcely arisen from the hills this morning until a thousand funerals were coursing their green sides. There were no hearses, few mourners and as little solemnity as formality. The majority of the coffins were of rough pine. The pall-bearer were strong farmer's teams, and instead of bix pall-bearers to one coffin there were generally six coffins to one team. Silently the processions moved, and silently they unloaded their burdens in the lap of mother earth. No minister of God was there to pronounce a last blessing as the clods rattled down, except a few faithful priesta who had followed some mangled representatives of their faith to the grave. A fact that has been heretofore overlooked in the awful strain is the sordid condition of the corpses. Fully one-third of those recovered have been so mangled, bruised or charred that identification was impossible. In an ordinary flood this would not have been the cae, but here human bodies were but the tilling in of a mountain-like mass of bouses, railroad tracks, trains and other debris which went crunching and crashing tbrouch a valley three miles long. How any of the life's clay retained form or semblance is enigmatical. Almost every stroke of the pick in some portions of the city to-day resulted in the discovery of another victim, aud, although the funerals of the morning relieved the morgues of their omh, before night they were aa full of tLe stinking dead as ever. Wherever one turns, the melancholy view of a cofhu is met. Every traia into Johnstown is laden with them, the better ones being generally accompanied by friends of the dead. Men could be seen, staggering over the rums, with shining mahogany casket on their shoulders. Several stumbled and fell into the abounding man-pits. The hollow houses of the dead went bounding over the stones like dmms in a funeral march. The coCin famine appears to be alleviated. A number oi names were handed in at relief headquarters to-dav.

It was found that four and even six families were being crowded in a single house; that as high as fifty slept in one room; that the doors and windows were left closed to shut out the stench aud dampness, and that as a result pneumonia was gaining an alarming foothold. Dr. Carrington, of the U. S. marine hospital, who has come to assist Dr. Lee, intimates that there are at least a hundred well-defined cases of the disease in Johnstown to-day. The IAm Was Had. Johnstown, Pa., June 3. The coroner's jury to-day proceeded to tho South fork and investigated the case of breakage of the reservoir dam. Witnesses testified that slight breaks had appeared in the dam several times in past years, but had each time been clumsily repaired with straw, sticks and rubbish. The general impression is that the jury will declare that the Pittsburg fishing club, that owned the reservoir, was guiltr of gross negligence. In that event many suits for damages against this millionaire club will doubtless follow.

MRS. WALLACE SAFE. Sh Was in the Train Which F-scaperi the Wreck and Is at Altoona. Late Tuesday night a report became current in Johnstown that Mrs. Lew Wallace was one of the victims of the disaster. This news was telegraphed all over the country and caused deep grief to the lady's thousands of friends. Mr. Brainerd Rorison, who was on the scene, was thoroughly convinced of the truth of the report. Notwithstanding this, Mrs. Wallace is alive and well, having been on the train which escaped the flood. Saturday she telegraphed to her relatives at Crawfor Jsviüe, but the telegram did not reach them until late Tuesday evening. Washington, June 5. Private Secy. Halford received a telegram this afternoon from his wife, at Altoona, announcing that Mrs. Lew Wallace was with her and safe. Mrs. Halford expects to leave Altoona for Washington tomorrow. NINETEEN PASSENGERS LOST. An Authentic 1. 1st of Those I.ot ia the Conemaugh. Philadelphia, June 6. So many conflicting reports have been published concerning the less of passengers and damage to the trains overtaken by the flood at Conemaugh on last Friday that General Manager Pugh was asked to furnish the Associated Press with an official statement of the number of people known or presumed to have been drowned from the two sections of the day express and also a statement as to what became of the trains. These facta were elicited : A s near as can be learned nineteen lives were lost, two cars, a passenger coach aud a baggage car were washed away. The baggage car has been found. The missing coach may have been carried down to the debris at the Johnstown bridge. Some hours after the floods struck the train three Pullman sleepers came in contact with a burning car or lime and were destroyed. Investition has been made most thorough and the revised list of names of those passengers thought to have been lost, as furnished is given below, forne of the passengers heretoforä mentioned as being dead have turned up alive in various parts of the country, and probably some of the names now given may be those of persons still alive, but not yet located. The names are: MRS. TALBOT and two or three children, Cleveland, O. MISS STANSON. Norristown. Pa. CYRUS SURICK, Reading Pa. JOHN ROSS, Pittsbure, or Iron City. MRS REV. J. A. RANNE Y, Kalamazoo, Mich. JENNIE PAULSON, Pittsburg. P. ES? IK BRYAN, Philadelphia, MR. MIZELL, Newark. N. J. Manager Mansfield, 0.. base hall club. AGNES CH RISTI E BOGARD.

MARY SWA NEY, Tleafant Gap, Ta. In the case of Mrs. Talbott of Cleveland, lornc say she had two children, while others say there were three. Counting the children as two, the above list foots up nineteen persons. Some of the names were obtained through the efforts of friends to trace raUsing ones. ONLY A FEW IDENTIFIED. A T umber of Boftir Kecovered Rat Only a Few Keconized. Johnstown, June fi. Up to noon to-day 723 bodies had been embalmed at St Columbus catholic church, Cambria City. The only one secured to-day was that of a mall child. A number of bodies were taken from the debris atKernville this morning. They were identified as: MIL and MRS. JOSEPH. NORA POTTER. MRS, LARRY I1ILES. MRS. REESE. FRANK EE AM AN. LIZZIE WAGNER. LAURA and JESSIE JONES. The parents of George Hamilton, manager of the Lytle opera-house at Braddock, still consider their ton lot. This morning live bodies were brought to the Fourth ward school-houe. Their names are: HENRY LUDWIG, No. 6 Main-st., Johnstown. ALBERT WERRY, Johtiotown. MAGGIE IRWIN, Hillside, Westmorland county. OSCAR TIENN ECAMP. JOHN STOWN. The latter was a well-known merchant of Johnstown and his relatives have been looking for his body nince the flood, and offered a large reward for the recovery of the body. The only identification at the presbyterian church was that of Mrs. William Rich. TWENTY-EIGHT DROWNED. Many Live Lost In the Flood Near I.eckhaten, Pa. Lockiiayf.n, Pa., June 6. Only one person is known to have been drowned in Lockhaven, but in the country the dead number twentyeight. The names of the persons drowned are as follows: JAMES GUILFORD. WILLIAM CONFER wife and three children. Two children of Jacob Koshner. ROBERT ARMSTRONG end sister. JOHN HARTER,

ANDREW R. HEIN wife and two girls. ALEX WIIITTING and wile. WILLIAM EM ER EI ELSER and wife. MRS. 8NYDER, widow of Henry Snyder. MRS. LUTflER SEYLER and three children. . DISEASE RAPIDLY SPREADING.

Pneumonia, Diphtheria And Measles A Large Number of. Caaea Meported. Johnstown, Pa., June 7. Eijjht thousand men have been at work here to-day cleaning out the debris, but truth compels the statement that the undertaking has not yet been fairly started. Fires are burning up and down the valley of the Conemaugh as far as the eye can reach. The air is thick with smoke, and yet to people familiar with the situation the efforts of this army of toilers is hardly appreciable. William Ilynn, mounted on a weary looking steed, is riding up and down the city directing the foremen in their labors, and his executive ability is telling its own story. Something like system is being established, but the most careful estimates are to the effect that it will take lO.Ot'O men for weeks to clear out the heaps of ruins piled up for miles between the bills up and down the course of the river. There is a belief with many people that newspaper reporters live chiefly in a world of fiction. Could every person who reads these lines see the frightful sights that have confronted the members of the press here during the last week they would all unite in declaring that only a small portion of the story had been told. Human fancy c&nnot conceive the horrors of the situation. This report is being written from the second story of a building worth, possibly, f 15, which commands a view of the mountainous wreck at the point bridge. The etench that is wafted through the doorless and windowless structure by every passing breeze is sickening. An hour azo the writer completed a tour of the mighty wreck in this vicinity in company with Arthur Kirk, the millionaire oil man, who is looking after the work of opening up the river channel, chielly by the use of dynamite. Dozens of human beinzs and animals were to be seen on the surface, charred and blackened by the fire and in such a state of decomposition that the strongest man could no more than glance at them. Mr. Kirk, who is a man of "iron nerve and a ttranger to fear," declared that he was ick at heart aud anxious to quit the awful scece. Eighty-six men from Altoona, under orders of the sanitary officials, are scatterin? disinfectants over the area of wreckage that the railroad bridge stopped. Mr. Kirk declares that thousands of bodies will yet befound ia this territory alone. The problem of the hour is the disposal of the debris above the Pennsylvania railroad bridge. L'uless it is soon got rid of the stench will soon be so overpowering that no human being can withstand it The pneumonia scourge grows alarming. Dr. Sweet of Philadelphia, a prominent member of the state board of health fetalf, came down from the Cambria hospital to-oicht with a startling report. Dr. Sweet said: "Prospect Hill is full of pneumonia,with some diphtheria and measles. The hospital is full to overflowing, and to-day I attended forty-tro cases on the outside. They were almost severe pneumonia. There is every condition needed for the spread of the disease", and 1 fear an epidemic" Dr. Carrington also reported several cases of pneumonia, having found them on the hill near Morrellville. Dr. Fussell came in with a load of information from the Keraville-Hornerville district this evening. The cellar of a house on Bed-ford-st, was found with wet clothing which was full of disease. A butcher (-hop on Frank-lin-st. was found full of putrid meats, which were destroyed. Nine hortcs and four cows were cremated, making 130 animals in this district. A row of human feet was noticed sticking out of the sand on the river bank near Kernviile. A band of men soon unearthed the bodies of tw o men and a girl, all in good state of preservation. The men were identified as MessrR. Y'ouug and Rantley. The girl was buried among the great army of "Unknown.' THE flood in center county. A Number of Persons Drowned Great Damage to Property. BelI-Foxte, Ta.. June 7. The flood of last Friday night and Saturday played terrible havoc in Center county in both loss of life and damage to property Bellfonte itself suCered but little, being built on the hills. The list below contains all iu this region known to be dead so far. At Mackeys ville: A. RYAN and two children. MRS. KIELER and two children. JOSEPH H. HARTER. Seven unknown. At Salona WILBUR WlIIrBY and wife. WILLIAM EMERKCLSEN, wife and child. MRS. HENRY SNYDER. MRS. LUTHER SAYLOR and three children. ALEX "WHITING and wife. There was a great amount of damage done in the western part of the county, but no lives were lost. The total damage in the county will be between two and three million dollars. They Iied Together. Johnstown, June 7. The body bf the Rev. Alonzo P. Diller, rector of the Johnstown episcopal church, and those of his wife and child were recovered to-day under circumstances both sad and strange. Four episcopal clergymen, who had been sent here by Bishop Whitehead, were working about the ruins near Lin-coln-st. when they came upon the body of their late brother. Clasped in one rieid arm was the body of his babe and in the other his wife, whoe arms were about his neck. They were removed in this position and will he bo buried to-morrow, the episcopal clergymen officiating. A Pern Victim. PEKC, June 7. Special. Miss Alice Wallace of this city, sister of Benjamiu Wallace of the Wallace & Co. circus, is aupposed to have perished in the Johnstown disaster, as she was expected to be in New Florence, ten miles below Johnstown, on the 30th of May. Telegrams have been sent to, but none received from her. bodies recovered. Thirty-Two Taken Front the Kntns Tester. day Nine Identified. JOHNSTOW.N, Jnne 8. The number of bodies taken to-day from the ruins was thirty-one, of which only nine have so far been identified. Fifteen bodies were received at the Fourth ward morgue, of which seven were unidentified. The nnmep of those identified are a follows: JAMES MURRAY. Philadelphia. WILLIAM MARSHAL, Johnstown. MRS. J. J. LLEWELLYN. Johnstown. JAMES DILLON, Somerset. MARION ROOT, Johnstown. MISS ANNIE M KINSLEY, MRS. McKINLEY and JESSIE HIPP, Johnstown. At the Pennsylvania railroad morgue six bodies were received and two identified as E. M.Thomas and Howard J. Roberts, cashier of the First national bank, Johustown. At the presbyterian church morgue ten bodies were received aud oue identiiied as sheriff John Ryan of Johnstown. At 10:30 o'clock this evening forty-seven bodies were discovered in a hole on the Mte of the Hurlbut house. They are supposed to be the bodies of guests. Nearly Halt Are MiHting. Johsstovx, Ta., June i The number of persons who have so far registered is 20,1 10. The registration is having its good effect and it is believed that withiu live days all living in Johnston and vicinity w ill have been accounted for. The population of Johnston and th neighborhood aßected by the flood is about thirty-five thousand. The registration of 20,110 leaves almost 15,000 to be accounted for. It is not claimed tbat those who have not registered are dead, for many had left this sectiou before the system of registration bejan. Already from 12,0O to 15,000 paf have been issued to persons wishing to leave Johnstown and vicinity. In some cases passes wtre issued to the same persons twice, those who were compelled to return for some reason, but it is safe to say 8,000 people have left this section. One en 1 ictoria' Sympathy. Washington, June 8. Sir Julian Panneefote, the British minister, called on the president this morning, in company with Secy. Blaine, and delivered a message from Queen Victoria expressing her deep sympathy for the sufferers by the recent floods in Pennsylvania. (ireat Muttering. Beixefonte, Pa., June 8. The suffering in the valley is very great. The principal places in need of belp . are Mülheim, Coburn and vicinity in renn' valley, Center City, BaM

Eag'e valley, and along Fishing creek in Kittanny valley, where everybody is destitute. The citizens of Bellefonie are doing all in their power to relieve distress, but they are unable to cope with it. no danger of epidemic

The General Health Good and "o Danger Arising From Contaminated Water. Johxstowx, June 0. The two large hospitals here have but little to do now, but the large corps of physicians is kept busy. At the Cambria hospital sixteen persons, injured by the flood, were cared for and but two died Miss Maggie Hughes and Mrs. Willower. Since the flood over five hundred persons have received the attention of the physicians at this institution, their injuries being directly or indirectly caused by the flood. Several women who nursed some of the injured became ill, and one of them mey not recover. At the Bedford hospital 32 injured persons were cared for. and when they could be removed were taken to Pittsburg hospitals. Only three patients were brought to the hospital to-day. They received slight injuries while at work clearing away the debris. Over six hundred Eersons were furnished medicine and attention y the physicians in charge of the hospitals. The ten hospitals have been practically abandoned, as none of thein have had a case for several days. The health of the valley is good, notwithstanding reports of a threatened epidemic. The following bulletin has been issued by the state board of health and speaks for itself. It was posted to-day in every conspicuous place about town. The encouraging words of Dr. G-o8 will do much toward relieving the anxiety of the many thousands of survivors and workiiiginen in the 6tricken valley who have feared tbe outbreak of an epidemic. For this reason many have deserted the town: Rulietin The general condition of health in Johntowu and vicinity is excellent. No epKlemic di eae ot any kiini prevail?, nor ia it expected tli:t any will arie. The whole region has öoen divided into convenient districts and each placed undr a competent saDitarian. The state board of health it prepared In meet all emergencies as they arise. Tlx: air is wholesome and the water generally pure. If the gKd p.'opla of tha devastated district will py oa as they have so nobly done for ihe past wfek In their erTorts to clean "up the wrtcLae, good health will certainly be maintained. CiEOHCE Gkoff. Dr. Grof has made a careful inspection of the drift in the river at the 6tone bridge and reports that there is no probability of any contamination of the water supply of the towns below this source. He says the number of bodies in the river cannot be large. The valleys have been swept so clean by the great floods that the river waters are now purer than before the disaster. There is a Uitierence in the contaminating power of decomposing organic matters. That from bodies dead of contagious disease would be far more dangerous than that from bodies which were of healthy person?. As it is, the bodies in the river are generally covered with from one to six feet of mud and sand. This earthy matter absorbs all e til u via and acts as the best of a disinfectant. There is no present danger to the water supply of Pittsburg at Johnstown. The only present danger is from the people being frightened into sickness by sensational reports. "Y'on may state for me," said he, "that there are more doctors here than patients. The general health of tbe people in the town is much better than I expected. I really looked for an epidemic of some kind. It would have broken out, however, before this time if any waa to come, and for this reason I feel perfectly safe in issuing the above bulletin. There is hardly any typhoid fever and but little pneumonia. The fears of an epidemic of diphtheria are groundless. There are a few cases of sore throat, but they are not serious euoucrh to cause any alarm. Every efi'ort is being made to have people move out of their houses and into tents. Plenty of tents will be furnished by the 6tate. Living in tents in the open air is more conducive to good health than residing in close, damp houses. The water is generally good and the air is pure. I will say again that residents of Pittsburg and cities below need not fear to drink the river water. There ia no danger of its being contaminated." Dr. John Smiller and Dr. F. L. Strouse are in charge of the Red Cross outposts, which are located in the midst of the ruins. Tbe Hag of the red cross on a white field of tents, waving upon the main tent, is a welcome sijn of refuce to many workmen who are suddenly stricken while at work on the ruins. The word "hospital" is feared by them and they would rather leave the city than to enter one. At the outpost they know they can be prescribed for and can lie down for a while at rest. None of the cases are very serious only ordinary complaints due to a change of food and water. After a short rest they generally return to their work. The tents are usually well filled. The tents were warm and close to-day, but this is due to the hot weather. A stiffbreeze is doing much to alleviate the sufleiings of the men. CARING FOR THE LITTLE ONES. Grand Work Uetns Done In Reuniting; Families and Providing Homes. Johnstown, June 9. Miss Walk and Mies Ely of the Northern home for friendless children returned to Philadelphia yesterday and took with them the Hoffman family of nine children. These little ones were found in e,n utterly destitute condition, as both of the parents and the oldest sister were drowned in the flood. The ladies will return to assist in the work of aiding children who have lost ail. Miss B. W. Hiukley, head of the Children's aid society of Philadelphia, at their headquarters near the Fourth ward morgue, is one of the busiest young women of the valley. The number of applications for children far exceeds the number of children thus far provided for. Miss Hinckley says the object of her society is to unite parents and children, rather than send them away from Johnstown, although the little ones will be provided for if their parents arc not found. There are plenty of Johnstown people who w ill adopt these children and bring them up as citizens of Johnstown instead ot Eendinu them to asylums where they will become etate paupers. Miss Hinckley cannot give an estimate of the number of children restored to their parents, but it is very large. Miss Maaree Brooks is the only resident member of this aid society who was not drowned. She is a school-teacher here and knowi every child and their parents in the city. She spends her time in hunting every house for miles around for parents and children. When a child ia found it is sent to headquarters and a note and description made of it. When any of the child's relatives or parents are found they are sent to the headquarter?, and in that way the families have been reunited. The object of the Western Pennsylvania aid society is to furnish temporary aa well ns permanent homes for the orphans. Several cases of vandalism and robbery were reported to-day. Last night a number of cars containing supplies were broken into and the content carried off. What the thieves could not steal they trampled and ruined. The masonic relief car was also entered and robbed. Twelve men were arrested for stealing to-day, but they were released upon returning the goods. The military guards over in Cambria City were kept busy last night arresting thieves. They were placed in the guard-house and this morning drummed out of town. When they reached the outskirts of the town they were warned that if they were caught again they would be summarily dealt with. Many people are imposing upon the relief committee, and in several instances men have succeeded in gettingenouh supplies to last them several months. One man was found this afternoon who had nine sacks of Hour in his cellar, besides a larce stock of provisions aud clothing which he had secured from the committee by misrepresentation. This afternoon Private William Young of company C, Fourteenth regiment, N. G. P., committed suicide in his tent by shooting himself in the head. He was a farm laborer, and resided near Mansfield, Pa. He had been sick for several days, but nothing in his manner indicated that he contemplated taking his life. He was twenty-nine years of ae, and leaves a widow and two children. The body of Mhs Bryant, the companion of the missing Miss Paulson of Pittsburg, was identified by relatives to-dny. It had been interred under the name of Miaa Wilmington,but through the published description of a ring worn by Miss Bryant, her friends had the body exhumed and identihed. It will be taken to Wilmington. Del. Mr. W. M. Ferguson walked down from South Fork to-day, following the line of the Pennsylvania road. He said that all the railroad tracks from South Fork to the viaduct were swept away. The old Portage viaduct is gone. A part of the road known as the deep-cut is half filled with earth and sand, and the tracks are lost A mile and a half of tracks, from Mineral Point to the cut, is lost. It will be three weeks before the road will be open for travel and months before it will be restored to its former stability.

The progress of the work at the stone bridge to-day has been more satisfactory than any day so far. More work has been done in removing the debris at this point to-day than any three other days. The stationary engine of the briJe has done more work than fifty men. Huge masses of broken and bent iron, and immense timbers that the men have been trying to move for days, were lifted from their places and moved with ease. Fourteen more of these great helpers will be here to-morrow. This will make twenty-four doing excellent work. The lartre force of men here before employed at this point has been taken to other points and a email force of men with the aid of the engine is doing more effective work. A heavy charge of dynamite was put oft" to-day and did a great deal of good, more than any three charges heretofore tired. It demonstrated that heavy charges must be used in order to do any good. 1 Three bodies were found lyin? close together to-lay near the stone bridge and ten or twelve bodies were found in that vicinity. , All the commissary stations are kept busy. At the Cambria station a vat amount of provisions and clothes have been distributed. Long lines of su!?erers 6tood in the heat and rain, waiting their turn. "o one is furnished without an order.and every department is under the strictest discipline. Most excellent work is being done here. The same good work is being done at the Americus club commissary and others, and the same discipline and regularity is observed by all. A va-st amount of work has been done by the Pennsylvania railroad company, and they are now able to reach Mineral Point with their construction train. The magnitude of the work this company has on hand is daily becoming more apparent. In this immediate vicinity the company has already accomplished wonders; the washout between the stone bridge and the Pennsylvania railroad station has been almost filed and trains are running over both tracks. The hurried burial of the dead in Prospect Hill cemetery is causing the residents of that beautiful suburb of Johnstown a great deal of annoyance, and it may cause much sickness. The bodies were placed in cheap coffins and BS none were secure, the odor from the decomposing bodies arises to the surface and attracts a number of dogs, which make nicht hideous by howling and pawing over the graves. The coffins were put ODly three feet under ground, as there was not time to dig the graves deeper. It was found necessary to place guards in the little cemetery containing '2') graves to drive the dogs away. To-day Dr. Miller, of the volunteer staff of the Cambria hospital, instructed the members of the Americus club, who are in camp near the cemetery carinc for some of the refugees, to secure disinfectants at once and place it on the graves, thus killing the odor. Private Dalzell has written to the Associated Press, in which he says tbe 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 the time of his death, and no longer. This also applies to those whose pension claims were pending. He further suggests that all the insurance companies .should publico, a list of the persons having policies in their companies in the flooded district, because, in many cases, the policies are lost. The first funeral of a rlood victim that might be truly called such, aud in which the corpse was taken to the cemetery in a coftveyauce, was held to-day. The body was taken to the cemetery in a wagon, accompanied by the mourners in carriages, and burial services were held over the remains. There were thirty-five bodies recovered today, eleven of them' at the stone bridge. Those taken out of the water were in a much better condition than those found among the debris. The latter were not only horribly bloated and distorted in features, but decomposition had set in, and the stench arising therefrom was so unbearable that the men at the various morgues found it a disagreeable duty to wash them. The bodies now are almost beyond recognition. Many are as black a negroes, and where they were bruised the face is sunken into a jellied mass. The undertakers will all leave to-morrow. Petty jealousies have made it unpleasant tor some to work with others, and besides, now that the state is to take charge, and volunteer service is retired, they say the state can and must hire undertakers to bury tbe dead. The list of the "unknown" is growing as tbe means of identification becomes more obscure. Those identiiied to-day were: JOHN G. ALEXANDER. A young man, supposed to be the son of C.

Mr. Fred Heinz, who is in charge of the transportation department at this point, says that since the department was organized they have sent away about two thousand people. The maiority of them were women and cnildren. They were shipped as far west as Pitts, bur?, and east to Philadelphia. The official bulletin of the etate beard of health, issued to-day, is as follows: Health Bulletin No. 2. Imports received lar-t evening from the inrenrs of tin board Miow that tbe iavorablc condition stated in the first report eontinues. Jfo eonticiu disease of any kind prevails.

A circular of information has been posted in all conspicuous places about the town, containing suggestions regarding the cleaning of houses and of personal habits. Mr. James D. fscottsaid this afternoon: "Tbe work will continue as it has until Wednesday mornicg when everything will be handed over to the state. The chiefs of all departments are now making out reports, which" will be given to the commissioners appointed by the 6tate. The work of relief will likely be continued by the state on tbe same plan as heretofore. We are obtaining some sort of system and have finally brought some kind of order out of chaos. The work of relief will have to continue until the people can take hold for themselves. When the Cambria iron works aa l other mills resume, the people will be able to earn money. The great aim jnst at present is to give the survivors work. The state is to onei a commissary department where goods will be sold until the merchants will be able to again get on their feet. Until that time ha come the people will have to be taken care of. "We are buii iiug store houses along the B. & O. road, where supplies will be stored until it is necessary to use them. It has been the practice to deliver tbera almost directly from the cars. This evil will soon be remedied. Supplies are still in demand." There is no friction between the civil aad military authorities. Chief Scott will remain in charge under tien. Hastinzs or the commissioner appointed by Gov. leaver.

The pockets of Charles IUkchofif contained M5. Mr. Munden states that the robbing of stores and dead bodies still continues, notwithstanding the guard which has been placed over the ruins by tbe civil authorities. The Johnstown switch company, whose works were entirely swept away from Woodvale, are making preparations to rebuild their switch works plant on an extended scale at Moxhara, three miles np the stream, and entirely away from any possibility of any recurrence of the disaster, which has overtaken their works here. They employ from l,0i0 to 1,2X) men. To-niht a proclamation sicued by the burgess and town council of Cambria City wni issued, calling on the citizens not to leave their homes, but to start rebuilding at once, aa aid Plight be expected from the general relief fund.
