Of this amount 12,543,830 tons were displaced in Pennsylvania, 750,000 tons in Ohio, and 660,000 tons in Indiana," In speaking of tho fluor-spar, the report say: "The production, limited to the neighborhood of Kosiclare, III, and Evansville, Ind., is reported at 6,000 tons, worth $10,000 an increase of l,000tons over 1887." .

Giordana Bruno was a Neapolitan, and originally a monk ofthe Dominican Order. The boldness with which he
censured the irregularities of his monastery obliged him to leave it, and
flying to Geneva he embraced the
Protestant religion. Beza and Calvin,
however, compelled him to quit that
city, and he proceeded to Paris, where
he excited much attention bv his
strictures on the Aristotelian philoso
phy. After visiting England he settled at Padua, where his freedom of speech
attracted the attention of the Inquisition
of Venice. He was apprehended, and, refusing to recant, was burnt in 1600.

Some doubt has been expressed as to
the estimate that 12,000 to 15,0G0 people
have been lost in the Johnstown flooded
district. Of course there is at prosent no way of determining with any degree
of exactitude how many are dead, but
the guessing is reasonable and conserv
ative and based on close hgurnig. In
the first nlace it must.-be understood that this is the greatest disaster in history, and no one brain can compare its details.
Its possibilities are boundless, its
misery infinite, and destruction lost in the unfathomable darkness of death. At least 2,500 bodies have been found, 2,000 at the lowest calculation are in the burned debris in the liver, 3,000 are in unsearched banks around the Cambria -Works down along the river and in the lower part of Johnstown. From one to two thousand are scattered in the valley from Woodville to the bridge and a thousand or two below the bridge between Johnstown and Bolivar. Hun
dreds were carried down to the broad rivers in the tremendous current, and
may never come into the hands of the living. Said Ad j utant G eneral Hastings: "In my opinion the Iohs is greater than we can now show figures for. That
sturdy worker, Wm. Jones, of Braddock, thinks that at. least ten thousand to twelve thousand were lost. The state ment that eighteen thousand h ad regis
tered at tne registration bureau was
incorrect." One of Gen. Hastincs's
aides said at 10 o'clock that so many
persons registered twice or more that
the list had to be revised, and that
the total was not more than
13.C00, and perhaps 12,500. This
registration not only comprehends the population of JohnBtown and adjoining towns, which was b lut 30,000, but embraces places furtuer away in the
flooded region, the total population of which at least 45,000, including villages,
stragffline hamlets and farms. Chair
man Hicks, of the Altoona delegation,
wno has been all over the district since Sunday morning says the loss is 12,500,
to 14,000, and be bases it on talk with
scores of all sorts of people.
The absence of former residents and
of a fixed and familiar population is
most striking. There are.thousaiids of strangers and workmen from a distance
here; but for the three last days the one
perpetual question was: Where are the people? Here are about 10,000: where
are the rest?"
Johnstown has been placed under
martial law, and no one is allowed to enter the territorv unless it is shown
he has business there. The soldiers
keep guard all around the city.
There is a strong movement on foot
in favor of applying the torch to the
wrecked buildings m Johnstown, and
although the suggestion meets with
strong opposition at this time, there is little doubt the ultimate solution of
existing difficulties will be by this
method. An army of men has been for
two days employed in clearing up the
wrecK in the city proper and although hundreds of bodies have been discovered not one-fifth the ground has
yet been gone over. In many places
the rubbish is piled twenty and thirty feet high, and not infreouently these
great dnftB cover nearly an acre. Narrow passages have been cut through
in every direction, but the herculean labor of removing the rubbish has yet
hardly begun.
It is now known that nineteen passen
gers on the "ill-fated train" lost their
lives.
So far as known, only eighteen bodies
were recovered in the Conemaugh valley
Friday. One of these was a poor remnant of humanity that was suddenly
discovered by a teamster in the center
of a road over which wagons had been
passing for forty-eight hours. The heavy vehicles had sunk deeply in the sand, and broken nearly every bone in the putrefying body. It was quite impossible to identify the corpse and it
was taken to the morgue and orders issued for. its burial after a few hours of
exposure to the gaze of those who still
eagerly search for misBing friends. Only the hardiest could stand to enter the
morgue, so overwkelmine is the dreadful stench. The undertakers even, after
hurriedly performing, their task of washing a body and preparing it for
burial, retreat to the yard to await the
arrival of the next ghastly find. A strict order is now in force that all
bodieB shall be interred only when it
becomes impossible to longer preserve
them from absolute putrefaction. There is no iron-clad rule. . In some instances
it is necessaiy to inter some putrid b&dy
within a few hours, while others can
safely be preserved several days. Everr possible opportunity is afforded for
inaenuncauon.
"Are the horrors of the flood to give
way to the terrors of the plague?" is the
question that is now agitating the valley
oi tne uonemaugn. jjnaay openea warm and almost sultry, and the stench that assails one's senses as he wanders
through Johnstown is almost overpow
ering. Kicxness, m spue oi the precautions and herculean labors of the sani
tary authorities, is on the increase, and the fears of an epidemic grow with every
hour. ''It is our impression, said Dr.T. U White, assistant to the State Board of Health, "that there is going to be great
sickness here. Five cases of malignant
diptheria were located this morning on Bedford street,and as they were indifferent houses they mean five starting points
for the disease. All this talk about the danger about epidemic is not exaggerated, as many may suppose, but it is founded upon all experience. There will be plenty of typhoid fever and kindred diseases here within a week or ten
days, in my opinion. Tho only thing
that has saved us thus far has been the cold weather, and no one knows what the next few days may bring forth. Even among the workmen and attendants there is already discernible a great tendency to diarrhea and dysentery. The men are living principally upon salt meat and there is a lack of vegetables I have been here since Sunday and have tasted freBh meat but once "since that
time, I am only one of the many. Of course the woret has passed for the phy
sicians, as our arrangements are now perfected, and each corps will be relieved from time to time.
Eight thousand men were at work at Johnstown, Friday, 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 bb the eye can reach. The air is thick with smoke, and yet to jieoplo familiar with the situation the efforts of this army of toilers is hardly appreciable. William Fiynn, 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 10,000 men for weeks to clear out the heaps of ruins piled up for miles between the hills up and down the course of the river. There iB a belief with many people that newspaper reporters live chiefly in a world oi fiction. Gould every person who reads these lines see the frightful siohts that have confronted the mem
bers of the press here during the last week. they would all unite in declaring that onlv a small portion of the story
had been told- Human fancy cannot
conceive the horrors of the situation.
This report is beta written from the second story of a building worth, possi-
I bly, $16, which commands a view of
the mountainous wreck at the point
bridge. The stench that is . wafted
through the doorless and windowless structure by every passing breese is sickening. An hour ago the writer com
pleted a tour of the mighty wreck in this
vicinity in company with Arthur Kirk,
tho millionaire oil man, who is looking after the work of opening up the river
cnannei, cnieuy oy tne use oi uynamite, Dozens of human beings and animals
were seen on the surlace, charred,
blackened by the fire and in such a
state of decomposition that the strong
est man could no more than glance at
them. Mr. Kirk, who is a man of iron
nerve and a stranger to fear," declared
that he-was sick at heart and anxious to
q uit the awful scene. Eigthty-six men frcm Altoona, .under orders of the sani-
tary officials, are scattering disinfec
ants over the area of wreckage that the
railroaa bridge stopped. Mr. Kirk de
clares that thousands of bodies will yet
be found in this territory alone. The problem of the hour is the disposal of
the debris above the Pennsylvania railroad bridge. Unless it is soon got rid of the stench will become so oversow
ing 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 staff, came down from the Cambria hospital Friday night with a
startling report. Dr. Sweet said: "Pros
pect Hill is full of pneumonia with
some diptneria ana . measles.
The hospital is full, to overflowing, and
to-day I attended forty-two cases on the
outside. They were almost severe
pneumonia. There is everv condition
needed for the spread of the disease, and I fear an epidemic." Dr. Carringtou
also reported several cases of pneumonia,
having found them, on the lull near
Morrellville. Dr. Fuesell came in with
a load of information from the Kern-
ville-Borneryille district. The cellar of
a house on Bedford street was found
with wet clothing which was full of disease. A butcher shop on Franklin
street was found full of wutrid meats,
which were destroyed. Nine horses
and four cows were cremated, making
150 animals in this district. A row of
human feet was notic ed sticking out of the sand on the river bank near Kern-
ville A band of men soon unearthed the bodies of two men and a girl all in
good state , of preservation. The men
were identified as Messrs. Young and Bentley. The giri was buried among
the great army of Unknown."
Fifty-eight bodies were recovered,
8unday. The day was extremely warm, and .with the fires burning many of the
laborers were overcome by the heat.
The hot sun beating down on the wreck
age above the bridge has developed the
fact that many bodies of , animals and human beings are yet in the ruins. The
Btench arising from this pile has been
more offensive than any time yet, al
though no time has it been as bad as reported. The work of the registration ot the survivors of the flood is going Bteadily on. Dp to Sunday evening there were about 21,000 registered and the list still increasing. The number of the lost is placed now at 5,000 by
those who held it would reach 10,000 a
week ago. A conservative estimate is between 3,500 and 4,000. There have
been 1,500 bodies recovered.
Several cases of vandalism and rob
bery were reported. A number of care
containing supplies were broken into and the contents carried off. What the thieves could not steal . they trampled and ruined. The Masonic relief car wan also entered and robbed. Twelve men
were arrested for stealing, out. they
were released upon returning the goods,. The military guards over in Cambria
City were kept busy arresting thieves.
They were placed in the guard-house.
and afterward drummed out of town.
When they reached the outskirts oi the
town they were warned that if they
were caught again they would be sum
marily dealt with.
Many people are imposing upon the
relief committee, and in several instances men have succeeded in getting
enough supplies to Jast them several months. One mail was found who had nine sacks of flour in his cellar, besides
a large1 stock of .provisions and clothing
which he had secured from the com
mittee by misrepresentation.
Two large hospitals have but little to
do now, but the large corps of phy si cians are kept busy. At the Cambria
Hospital sixteen persons, lniured by tho
flood, were cared for, and but two died.
Since the flood over live hundred per
sons have received the attention of tho
physicians at this institution, directly or indirectly caused by the flood. At
the Bedford Hospital 3(52 miured per
sons were cared tor.and when they could
be removed were taken to Pittsburg hospitals. Over six hundred persons were furnished medicine and attention hy the physicians in charge of the hospitals. The tent hospitals have been practically abandoned, as none of them have had a case for several days. The health of the valley is good, notwithstanding reports of threatened epidemic. There is now littl e feaT of an epidemic. Advices from Jtihnstown Monday, indicate that affaire are netting into more satisfactory shape. Stationary engines are being employed with great succef is in moving the heavy pieces of timber and debris. The large force of men are also constantly employed, and something like order is coming out of chaos. Several more bodies were recovered. All the commissary stations are kept busy. No one iB furnished supplies without a.n
order, and every department is under Btricteet discipline. There were thirty-five bodies recovered Monday, eleven of them at the stone bridge. Those taken out of the water were in a much better condition thjua 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 theirefrom 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 as negroes, and where they were bruised the face is sunken into a jellied mass. Mr. James B. Scott said Monday afternoon: "The work will continue as it has until Wednesday morning when
every tiling will be banded over to the State. The, chiefs of all departments are now making out reports, which vrill be given to the commissioners appoint
ed by the otate. xnc worK oi renei wm likely be continued by the State on 'the same plan as heretofore. .We. are obtaining, some, sort of svBtem and have finally
brought some k:ind of order out of the
chaos. The work of relief will have to
continue until tbe people can take hold
for themselves. When, the Cambria
iron works and other mills resume, the
people will be able to earn money. Tne great aim iuBt at present is to give the
survivors work. The . State is to open a commissary dBpartment. where gcods will be sold ur,til the merchants will be able to again get on their feet. U ntil that time has come the people will have
to he taken care of."
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 cauBe much sickness. The bodies were placed in cheap coffins, and, as none were secure, the. odor from the decomposing bodies arises to the surface and attracts a number of dogs,
which make night hideous by howling
and pawing over the graves. The coffins were put only three feet underground,
as there was not time to dig the graves deeper. It was found necessary to
place guards in the little cemetery fiontaining 200 graves to drive the dogs away. . Pure food and good health are topics d ail v discussed in our homes, and vet.

SJSATTIjE, w. t., burned. The entire business portion of Seattle, Wash. Ter., was destroyed by fre Thursday afternoon and evening. Some turpentine caught fire in the basement of a two story frame building, on Front and Madison streets. The whole building was soon ablaze. The fire department responded promptly, but could make no headway against the flames. The fire spread to adjoining buildings and within ten minutes from the time it started had developed into a conflagration. A liquor house was among the first buildings in its pathway, and the inflammable material added to the fury of its onward march, and it was but a brief time until the entire square was laid in waste. Efforts were made to confine it to this district, but this also failed, for tbo flames leaped across the streefeandina half hour more another square was burned to ashes. From this time forth it was an irrepressible conflagration, which all the efforts made could not check. Losses on everything are, variously estimated now at from $15,000,000 to $40,000,000, From initial points the Are spread north and south a distance of one mile. Every newspaper office, hotel, telegraph office, railroad depot and wharf in the city was totally destroyed. The entire water front, including all wharves and and docks, commercial bunkers and railway tracks, the wholesale quarter and everything south of Union street
and west of Second street and reaching around to the gas works and above
Fourth street on Jackson, wafr complete
ly burned. It is estimated that the total
loss to the city is buildings alone is easily $10,000,000, and all the personal losses
will probably reach $30,000,000. Whether there Jb much loss of life cannot yet be ascertained. There is
privation felt among the poor classes, as nearly every restaurant and grocery in
the city was consumed by the fire. The burnt district, comprising Bixty-four acres, now presents the aspect of a huge
oven of burning coals and threatens
even further destruction. The firemen.
reinforced by Tacoma and Snohomich,
are on the alert. The streets itf 1 through
tho night were crowded with people
wandering about penniless and home
less. The militia ani extra police are to be seen on every corner guarding
the property against thieves and van
dals. One hundred arrests have already
been made.
Seattle has been one of the wonders of
the new Northwest. It is situated on
Admiralty Inlet, near the mouth of the Dwanisn River, and the location is in
all ways desirable. For several years
the western movement has been in this direction, and from a population of a
little over one thousand ten years ago,
the place has leaped into metropolitan proportions. Its growth has been sub
stantial, and while there has been a
"boom," it was not of the ephemeral
character peculiar to western towns. Coal and lumber are chief articles of
merchandise, but the general trade is
large and covers a wide territory Seattle
has its club houses, fine business and
residence houses, and a social life keep
ing pace with the material progress of the city.
THE HAITIAN WAR. A letter from Port-au-Phnce, received
Tuesday, dated May 30, gives the follow
ing: "It is stated on good authority that
the armv of Hyppolite is within two
miles of Port-au-Prince, and there is no
doubt that in a few days the war will be ended, with the army of the north the
victors. Legitime's men, owing to the lack of food and money, are deserting,
and at Grand Saline, one of his Generals,
commanding 5.000 men, surrendered all
his forcea to Hyppolite. The General,
himseif, fled to Jamaica, as his life
would have been in danger in Port-au-
Prince. He put himself under the pro
tection of the British consul before go
ing to Jamaica. Legitime would have followed his example, but his generals and miiiisters would not let him. They say he has brought them to their present
state and he must remain and share
their fate.. It is impossible to say when Hyppolite's army will fall on the town
and massacre everyone in it.. Legitime
has nardly any men to guard the place,
and it will be an easy matter to capture
it. Most of Legitime's navy is lying in
the inner harbor, being afraid that if
they venture out they will be captured
by Hyppolite's ships." The steamship
Aylsia, which left Port-au-Prince on
Mav 16, arrived at New York, Monday.
The first officer told a reporter that he
had heard nothing of the reported
overtnrow of Legitime, All he learned from his brief stay was from the state
ment made to him by two officers of
Legitime, that Hyppolite's forces were within seven miles of Port-au-Prince.
The news brought by. the Aylsia leaveB
the outcome of the Haytian troubles still in doubt.

On the 10th day ol December, 1886, 1 came from Orion to Pontiac to visit my parents, and was taken suddenly ill. Dr. Galbrieth, of this place, was calied, and after making careful examination of my case, desired council, and named as councilor, Dr. McGraw, of Detroit. They met in council December 15th, made a careful examination, and pronounced my disease as cancer of the liver, and stated that there was no hope for me, as it was impossible to cure me The pain was very severe and Dr. Galbrietn continued his visits, administering quieting powders. A Rwelling or bunch had formed upon my right ribs almost as large as my fist, and I had given up all hopes of recovery. But having heard of Hibbard's Eheumatic Syrup, I sent, February 1, 1887, and bought a boltle of the Syrup from Mr. Peter Sahmiiz, a druggist of this place, and took it as directed, About March 1st something broke and the swelling commenced to go down, until it has almost disappeared. Up to this date I ha ve taken two and onehaif bottles of the Syrup, and have so far. recovered as to be able to visit my neighbors, and am truly rejoicing that I am fast being relieved of such terrible pain, and desiring to acknowledge the benefit I have received in using your Syrup, I send you this statement, hoping you will use it so that others who are afHicted may be benefited and relieved from pain as I have been. Very truly, On as. A, SriBR. Orion, Mich. Pontiac, Mich., Mar. 16, 1887.

LKTTER V ROM VAN ANTWERP, BRAGG & CO.
Cincinnati, May 10, 1889. Soon after the passage of the law to supply text books to the school trustees of Indiana by contract, the book sellers of that Stake were visi ted by the agents of second hand book sellers who attempted to purchase their stock of books at greatly reduced prices. In answer to their letters we sent a circular letter advising them not to sell their stock at less than cost, for the reason that there were as yet no other books adapted than those hitherto used, and that they would continue to have demands for all thev had on hand and would need to order more, and stated our reasons for this belief: 1. That the law sets up a new and untried method of conducting business by using the
township officers and county superintendents as retail and wholesale dealers in books. We do not think it possible that the business can be carried on by them so cheaply or so satisfactorily to the people of the State as it has hitherto been carried on by private enterprise. 2, If any contractor is found who is willing to furnish books under the terms and conditions of the law, he
must put them on Bale in every town
ship of the State, and the people
will have : no voice in the selection of their books. 3. From an intimate
knowl edge of the publishing business,
extending over fifty years, we cannot
see how books can be manufactured
and sold at the prices named in the law.
We believe that we exercise the great
est posbible economy in manufacture,
and that we are acquainted with all the latett methods of making durable books at the lowest possible cost. We know of no other publisher who manufactures
more cheaply, and there is certainly no
other who has sold his books at a lower rate of profit. Of all these facts we
have a more correct knowledge than can be had by those not actually engaged in the business of manufacturing school books. We speak only for ourselves, and do not represent the intention of anv other house, but we knef that others can not afford to do what we ourselves cannot do. If it is for the interest of our competitors to contract, they may probably do so. It has Veen asserted that we belong to a "school book trust," ur combination. This assertion is untrue. We are not
now, and never have been connected with, or a party to any trust, pool, com
bination, syndicate; or any kind of agreement whereby the benefits of competition are or have been denied to the
people of Indiana or those of any other
State. The mam trouble with the law
is that it does not offer the slightest intin cement to the contractor. The method of sale is not in accordance with the laws of trade. How would a farmer like to send hia produce to the city to be placed on sale with the city officials at cost or less, the proceeds of the sale to be returned to him through official channels three months after the goods should be sold? - . . JIn contracts of all kinds, there must be a mutual interest. Both parties must -be benefited. No one willingly contracts to sell goods on which fee does not make profit. No one willingly buys goods unless he is sure that he is getting them cheap at the lowest possible price. When these conditions

are fulfilled contracts are made. The limit of profit is the smallest profit that' any competitor is willing to accept. All persons in businesB must meet competition. If tbe profi ts of the school book business were larger than those inother kinds oi bnwness, new firms would be organized and would sell at lower prices, and tbe older firms would have to reduce their price of be . swept out of . tfajft field. The natural . laws of trade are stronger and more' lasting than laws made by men because they are based on the wishes and desires of all men. It will be possible to have school books furnished without -profit to the contractor when the farmer, the carnentef , the blacksmith, ,n the doctor, and the editor will all faro- ' ish their several coods or service at
cost, and not until then. The prospect of a legitimate profit is the basis of ail business enterprises. It has been asserted that our firm has made exorbitant profit, and designing men have misrepresented the fact to create a public prejudice against us. The fact is we have made the best possible books and we have sold them at t he lowest possible prices. These two facts have given . our books most extended sales, reach- 1 ing into every State in the Union; s and the magnitude of these sales, of which a small proportion goes to Indiana, has. made the business successful even at a less rate of profit than can be shown in any other line of business. We have no reason to be ashamed of our success.
It has arisen from the excellence, durability and cheapness oi our books;- This
question has been deci ded by hundreds
of thousands of school-boards, each acting independently of the others at different times and in remote places. OI the larger number of these adoptions
we have no knowledge until after ac
tion is taken. We ; believe that the
same laws will prevail in the . future. ;
until some one offers better books at i
lower prices, the people will not willing
Our circulars to trustees and school onlcers are issuei in the belief that un
til the practicability of the new law can be tested, it is greatly to the inter-;: est of the people of the State that no changes be made in the books now used
m the schools. This opinion has oeen indorsed by the county boards of educa- ' tion, in nearly all the counties by action taken May 1,'reB trainin e teachers from making anv changes of nooks until' further notice from the board. We have not set ourselves in opposi- , tion to the law; but there is nothing in -9 th law that compels us to bid for the Jr sale of our books under its provisions of the law and we cannot " aflford to bid y We have no voice in deciding who shall bid; but we do know and we do not hesitate to declare that any contractor ' who bids for bocks under its condition ? will assuredly make losses rather than w gains, , The more business he has at . such rates and under such terms, the worse off he will be. There will be no
combination against the law, because " none would be effectual if tne law were4 good, and none will be needed if the .' law is bad. The law is in process of faithful trial by swrn public officers. It must stand or mil on its own merits. v Meanwhile we recommend to the people to continue to use our books until they can obtain others equally as good at low prices, arid shall recommend all dealers to keep up their supply of the Eclectic books and sell them to all who : desire to purchase, ano shall repeat out proposition made this year, last year: -and the year before, to supply at the -lowest contract price to ail who will agree to retail tliem at a reasonable adr vance of profitT Very Respectfully, -Adv."
