Johnstown dispatch: The intention
to-night is to solve the raft problem with
petroleum and the torch. To-day, for
the third time, the raft was fired and is
burning fiercely, but if it is not de
stroyed fifty barrels of coal oil will be
emptied on it to-morrow, and the whole
mass will go up in a bonfire. The citi
zens of Cambria boronsh passed resolu
tions to-night asking Gen. Hastings to
furnish them lumber and nails to enable
them to put np temporary houses, there
being only 400 houses to shelter 1,500
people now homeless.
The new contractors in charge of the
the state's work in cleauiug out the flood
debris from Johnstown and vicinity did
not have all the men they needed to-day,
tut the number was largely increased
before nightfall, and some very effective
work was performed. -
A regular morgue corp of six men fol
lowed the workers in each district, and
as fust as bolies were uncovered, re
covered them to the nearest dead house
where they were quickly prepared for
burial.
Geu. Hastings was very much gratified
this evening with the reports received
from his engineer corps of the work
done during the day. Col. Douglas,
cngineer-iu-cliief, said this evening that
lie expected to have a channel thirty
feet in width cut through the big raft by
nat.iru.iy evening. uynamiM) was used
very extensively during the day to

The engines are needed to check any
spread of the fire from the burning

The report of the bureau of transpor
tation, which died with the citizens' re
lief committee, shows that from June 4
to June 11, inclusive, 1,593 people were
criven free transnortation out of Johns-
town. The bureau of information an-

friends as to the safety of residents of
Johnstown. Eight bodies were brought
to the morgue in the Presbyterian
Church on Main street to-day. Some
were taken out of the ground imme
diately. Surrounding the church a party of
men at work in the debris came across
the dead bodies of Mrs. Myra and her
daughter locked in each others' arms.
The total number of bodies recovered
to-day was nineteen, making a grand
total of bodies recovered 1,999.
Die mass at the stone bridge was
nreu mis aiternoon and to-mglit is
burning furiously. With it is destroyed
all hope of recovering the bodies that
are certainly there entombed.

"From my personal inspection at
Johnstown a day or two ago it occurs to
me that it might be well for the present
to stop the shipment of supplies in kind.
There are many cases of individual suf

communicate with yon in case he should
be in need of anything special which
could better be supplied from New York
than from poinis nearer at hand. The
great problem of getting the people ol
the Conemaugh valley uion their feet, so
as to help themselves, is the one to
which we must turu our thoughts, nid
to this the commission which I lu.ve
jnst appointed will give their immedi
ate attention."
FOREIOI SYMPATHY.
Washington special: The president
has caused to be referred to the secre
tary of state telegrams expressive of the
deep sympathy with the people of the
United states on account of the recent
Johnstown disaster from His Honoi

xlie tenth day of tne wors of clearing
away the wreckage opened with a driz
zle which made everything wet and slip
pery. About 9 o'cl'-ck the down-pom
became so heavy that it interfered eri
ouslr with the wort and the men were
called to shelter, but as soon as tho rain
became less heavy all went to work
again. Arrangements have been made
by which a much needed supply of fresh
meat will be furnished. The great
quantity of debris which has been
loosened from above the stone bridge
and floated down stream, has formed a t
gorge opposite Cambria City, and I
number of men were sent down to re
move it. as it closed the channel, stop
ping the flow of water and rendering
very difficult the work of removing th
wreckage at the stone bridge.
The visit of Governor Beaver to thii
section yesterday has given renewed
hopes to the stricken people, and on all
sides the action taken yesterday is being
favorably commented on. After Wed
nesday, Adjutant-General Hastings will
have entire charge, and this section will
be strictly under military discipline.

found in that vicinity. All the commis

liuesof sufferer, stood ine heat and

nished without an order, and every de
partment is under the strictest disci
pline. Most excellent waek is being
done here. The same good work is be
ing done at the Americus club commis
sary and other places.
The hurried burial of the dead in
j Prospect Hill cemetery is causing the
residents of tlsat tieautiful suburb of
Johnstown a great deal of aonoyance,
and may cause much sickness. The
bodies were placed in cheap coffins and
none were secure.
The first funeral of a flood victim,
that might be truly called such and in
which the corpse was taken to the cem
etery in a conveyance, was held to-day.
The body was taken to the cemetery in
a wagon accompanied by mourners in a
carriage and a burial service held.
There were thirtv-five bodies
ered to-day eleven of them at the stone
bridge. Those taken out of the watnr
were in a much better condition than
those found among the debris. The lat-
ter were not only horribly bloated and
distorted in the features, but decompo-

therefrom was almost unbearable.

full text of the verdict of the coroner s
jury: We, the undersigned, jury ap
pointed to make the inquiries iu-cordiiig
to law, as to how the body viewed by
us came to his death, state our verdict
from the evidence: One, that the body
is that of Patrick H. Croniii, known as
Dr. C'rouiu; two, that his death was not
from natural causes, but from violent
means; three, that said P. 11. Croniii
was decoyed from his home 011 North
Clark street on the evening of May i,
18811, by some person or persons to the
cottage known as the Carlson cottage,
situated at No. 18T2 North Ashland ave
nue, in Lake View, Cook county, Ills.
Fourth, that at said cottage the said
Cronin was murdered by being beaten
on the head by S"in. blunt instrument
in tho hands of some person or persons
to us unknown on the night of the said
May 4. or between May 4 and 5, 1889.
Fifth, that the body, after the said mur
der was committed, was placed in a
trunk and carried to Edge n ote on a
wagon, by several persons, and by them
placed iu a catch basin at the corner of
Evanston avenue and Fifty-ninth street,
Lakeview, where it was discovered May
27, 1889. Sixth, thot the evidence
shows conclusively to all minds, that a
plot or conspiracy was formed by a
iinraler of iersons for the pnrjKise of
murdering Cronin and concealing his
body. Said plot or conspiracy was de
liberately contrived and cruelly exe
cuted. We have carefully inquired into
the relations sustained ty said Cronin
to other persons while alive, to ascertain
if he had any quarrels or enmities w ith
any person sufficient to cause his mur
der. It is our judgment that no other
.wn ,
except some of those
who are, or who h,
had been members of a
certain secret society known as the
united Brotherhood." Clan-na-tiael.
hod cause to be investigators or execu
torsof sucha plot or conspiracy to murder
said Cronin. Ninth Mauy of the wit
nesses testifying in the said case have
done so with nmch evident unwilling
ness, and we believe with much mental
reservation. We find from the evidence
that a number of ersons were parties
to the plot and conspiracy to murder
said Cronin, ond that Daniel Conghlin
Patrick O. Sullivan, Alexander Sullivan
and one Woodruff, alias Black, were
either principals, accessories, or had
guilty knowledge of said plot and con
spiracy to murder said Cronin and con
ceal his body, and should be held to
answer to the grand jury. We also be
lieve that other tiersons were engaged
in this plot, or had guilty knowledge of
it and should be apprehended and held
to the grand jury. We further state
tul? P' or conspiracy in it conception
an4 "ecution is one jf the most foul
"nd J'nl that ever came to our
! knowledge, and we recommend that the
' rroer authorities offer a large reward
i ?,r., 16 lucovery nd apprehension of
J" 'f106 engaged in it in any way. We
' further state that in onr in,ltrmr. n
n"!6' societies whose evidence ar ...ol,
as the evidence shows that of the 'Clan-na-gael"
or "United Brotherhood" to
be, are not in harmony with, and are
injurious to American institutions We
hope that future vigor and vigilance by
the police foroe will more than comiKsn
sate for the past neglect by a portion of
the force in this case.
