Johkbtowx, Pa., Jnufi 17.—Johustowu’s citizens have settled down to their routine life again. There was almost a total suspension of work in the Coueuiaugh Valley yesterday, and tup day was spout very quietly. There was no improvement in the weather. During the early morning a heavy rain tell. About nine o’clock the clouds rolled away and the sun came oat bright I and strong, and a few moments lntor the mercury registered 8) degrees.

Colonel Rogeli estimfes the survivors at twenty-five thousand, and say's: “These figures aro presumably approximately correct. Deducting the tweuty-five thousand survivors from the total population leaves •M23 lives lost. This estimate is ns positive as it will probably over be possiblo to give as th»y are made up from careful research, house-to-house canvass aud comparison with the proof-sheets of tho Johnstown directory which was compiled oue month previous to the disaster. General Hastings determine l yesterday that where people desire to rebuild immediately be will clean out their cellars and assist them to put up thoir buildiugs. A Chicago firm has boon furnished money by the Chicago relief committee with which to send oue hundred and fifty houses here ready to place uonn their foundations.

Special orders wero issued yesterday and arrangements made for rnshing the work of clearing away the debris with all possible dispatch. If expectations are realized, aud a few days of favorable weather intervenes there will be butlittio work left uudoue by next Saturday night.

Over and above all the feeling that presses upon one as be reads the columns In the dally journals that tell of the terrible disaster at Johnstown and hor neighboring villages is the helplessness of man, woman and child when confronted with tho mighty forces of physical nature let loose and started upon their career of destruction. The awful details make the heart sick. The people were caught without warning in ths midst *' their pursuits. Human nature was displayed iu its grandest light in the numerous instances of personal heroism and courage.

The stor es by survivors and thrilling escapes are in many instances most remarkable and almost beyond belief. A man named Dougherly tells a thrilling story of a ride down the river on a iog. When the waters struck the roof of the house on which he had tuken shelter ho jumped astride a telegraph pole, riding a distance of some twenty-three miles from Johns, own to'Bolivar before be was rescued. The eight children of Jamas McMillan, the y« uogest of which is 10 months old, were in their house oil Liucoiu street in Johns lorn. The family was in tHe attio when the flood came. Each of the large cblldicin grasped a smaller one, and the famll; got to the roof.

The surrlving member of the family has since committed suicide. , The sights and sounds heart! that night were the most painful thafc human beinge were ever called upon to endure. In the larkness could be distinguished human beugs floating by the town on house-tops and rafts. Soma were prying for help, others were praying aloud for mercy, and a few were oven singing as if to keep np their jourago. About!) o’clook a big raft swept :>y the' village within ICOyardaof the shore, l'here was an entire family oiwit, and they were singing ' Nearer, My God. to Thee.” In the mhlst Of Ihelr song the raft struck a argo tfto and went to splinters OThere were one or two wild crltfs amitlien silence. Mrs. Mary Tenn stood by a muddy pool of srater trying to find soma trace of a once nappy homo. A reporter asked her conooruin^ber loss. She said she was left done, her husband and seven children bong swept away. She continued: -We wei* dr.vcn by the raglrg flood into iho garret, but the waters followed us there. Inch by inch it kept rising until our leads were crushing agsiast the roof. It was death to remain. So I raised a winlow and ouo by one placed tny darlings on some driftwood, trusting to tho Great Creator.

If I could only flml one of my darlings I could bow to the will of Gad. But they are all gone,'' v Near the center of tho city were three persons pulltng apart the debris as beet they could They wero an elderly woman, a young woman, quite pretty, and a lititlo girl, all dressed in mourning. A reporter stopped to watch them for a moment, when suddenly tho little girl cried: ‘‘O, mamma, here's something.’' Both women hurried over as the child held up a water-stained photograph album. “Yes, that’s ours,” cried tho younger of the women Rs she feverishly seized it and began to turn the dirty and water-swollen leaves. All three sat down on an uprooted tree near by, and they went through tho album, utterly regardless of tho crowd that gathered. 1’he yonuMf one turned to the first picture ■^the album aud carefully wiped the dirt away with her handkevchlel She looked at it long and earnest y while the other two looked over her shoulder. “1 thought we had lost it," she said, as the tears trickled down hor face. In tho gray dusk of that fatal Friday evening a crowd of people stood upon tho bridge at Bol var trying to rescue the unfortunates as they vtcre carried down by the flood. Hopes wero dangling from the bridge for those in tho water to grasp. One poor woman’s plight war. even so piteous that even strong men wept She w. s sitting high und dry on a substantial pile of timber that was bearing her down stream rapidly. On each side of hor^k lay a little child. They were still and^p made no outcry as the woman clasped them close. As the craft neared the bridge the spectators saw that the children were

A riCTVKE O* DBSUIATKH1 dead. They had been drowned. The rope was thrown to the rigid woman, but she would pay no attention to It "Grab the rope'” a hundred voices shouted. The unfortunate creature looked at the two phi Hirer and tfied to rouse them, bnt they had dropped into an eitemal slumber. "Grab the rope!” tho proud again yelled excitedly, for tho wreokugo with its dead and living freight was very nearly under tho bridge. Tho woman heeded not the advlco or the voices. Sho looked Indifferently at the strained eyes of tho men above, and as she passed under tho bridgo with unconcern It was seen sho was insane, crazed by grief. A man, woman and child were seen floating down on a lot of drift. The mass of debris commenced to part, and by desperate effort the husband succeeded in getting his wife and littlo ono on a floating troe. Just then the tree washed under a bridge and a rope was thrown out. It foil over tho man's shoulders. He saw at a glanco that he could not save his dear ones, so he threw the means of safety to ono side and grasped oloser in his arms those who were with him. A moment later and the tree struck a floating house. It turnod over, and in a moment all were swept to their fate. Watchers to a railway signal tower near Bang Hollow tell many piteous tales of what they saw. Men and women in dozens, in pairs aad singly, children, boys big and little, and wee babies passed there to among the awful confusion of water—drowning, gasping, struggling and fighting desperately for life. Two men on a tiny raft shot Into the swiftest part of the current They crouched .stolidly, looking at the shores, while between them, dressed to white and kneeling with her face turned heavenward, was a girl 6 or 7 years old. Bhe seemod stricken with paralysis unUI sho came opposite the tower, and then she turned her lace to the operator. 8he was so close they could see big tears on her cheeks, and her pallor was as death. The helpless men on shore shouted to her to keep up her courage, and sho resumed her devout attitude and disappeared under the trees of a projecting point a short distance below. At New Florence were two yonng men who should be crowned as true heroes Their (frees indicated ttsem to be dudes, but they were brave to every sense of tho word. They doffed their clothing and formed a life-saving crew of two members, and did work worthy of men experienced to sterner walks of life. Their plan of operation was simple, but a good one. A railroad tie waa secured and one of the men fastened himself to it with a rope, making a crude life-preserver. He allowed himself enough
