JOHNSTOWX , Pa. , Juno 2. Men wore nt
work In the lower Yodcr Catholic cnmotory
nnd the Grand View Protestant cemetery ,
this afternoon , digging trenches. The
bodies that wcro exposed when the waters
begun falling uro In bad condition. Some
have already been interred. In the haste
nnd excitement no definite arrangements
seem to have been made for the funeral ser
vices. The only suggestion that could bo
obtained at Morrcllvlllo was that all the
bodies would bo burled and general memo
rial services held after the present suffering
is alleviated.
A COSPUOTOH'S STOUV.
In a talk , to-day , Conductor Boll , of the
first section of the day express , laid up ut
Coneuiaugh on the night of the disaster ,
said : "Tho first and second sections stopped
side by sldo at Conouiaugh , Friday after
noon , on account of the washout at Lillys.
The second section was next to the hill ,
the first , on the outside. Suddenly I
saw \vlmt looked Hko n wall of
water. It was thirty feet high. Wo barely
hud time to notify the passoneers , nnd they
nearly nil ( led up the hillside. Ono old man
who with his son returned , for some reason ,
was drowned. Two cars went down in the
current. 1 do not know how many wcro
drowned. Wo saw two parsons on top of the
oars. The water sot u > o to a lot of lime , ami
the fire caught two Pullman cars , which
wuro destroyed , but no person was burned ,
nil the passengers having loft the train be-
foio the curs took fire. There were about
one hundred persons on my section , which
\vas made up of day coaches. The passengers
wont back to the cars , mid lutor were cared
for by the people of Conenmugh. Afterward
they were taken to Ebcnsburg. They ex
pected to f.fo east to Altoona. this afternoon.
The friends of these In the Chicago limited
need feel no anxiety , as it was not in the
Hood at all. "
Till ! SITUATION UNCHANGED.
The situation hero has not changed , and
yesterday's estimates of the loss of life do
not scorn to bo exaggerated. Six hundred
bodies uro now lying in Johnstown , and u
largo iiMmbor have already been buried.
Four 'imtnenso relief trains arrived last
nlpht , and the survivors are being well cared
lor.

A portion of the police force of Pittsburg
nnd Allegheny are on duty and bettor ordei
is maintained than prevailed .yesterday.
Communication will bo restored betwcci
Cambric City nnd Johnstown by foot bridge
Tim work of repairing the tracks between
Sang Hollow and Johnstown is going on rap
Idly and trains will probably be running by
to-morrow morning. Not less than 15OOC
strangers are hero.
The handsome brick high school building
is damaged to such un extent that it will havi
to be rebuilt. The waters attained the
height , of the windows of the second floor ,
Itfl upper stories formed a refuge for mani
pcrso-13. All Saturday afternoon two little
( jirlsvould bo Bean at the windows franti
cally Lulling for aid They had spent ul
night and day in the building , cut off from
all uid , without lood or drinking' water ,
Their condition was pitiable. Lata la the
evening the children were removed to hlghei
ground and properly cared for. A numboi
of persons bad been taken from this uuildiiif
earlier In the day , but in the excitement the
children wcro forgotten.
Now that the waters have receded there is
great dauber from falling walls. All da ;
long the crashing of walls could bo hean
across the river.
Library hull was another of the flue
buildings of many in the city that is de
stroyed. Of the Episcopal church not n ves
tlgii remains. The parsunago Is swept away
and the rector of the church , Rev. Dillon ,
was di owned.
James M. Walters , nn attorney , "spent th (
night in Altn hall , ana relates a thrilling
story. Olio of the most curious occurroacos
of the whola disaster was how Walters got U
the hall. Ho has his ofllco on the secoiu
floor , His homo Is at i)5 : ) Walnut street. H <
EIIJS ho was in the house will
his family when the waters strucli
It , All was carried away. WaltorH
family drifted on the roof in anothu
direction. Ho passed down uoveral street
nnd alleys until ho como to the hull. Hid
dwelling struck that eiHIlee , und ho wiv
thrown into his own ofllco. About two hundred
drod persona had taken rcfugo In the hall
mid were on the second , third and fourtl
Mnrlcs. The men held a meeting and drov
up some rules , which all were hound to ro
sped , Walters was chosen president , Key
liealo was put hi charge of the ttnl floor , A
M , Hart of the second , and Dr. Matthews o
lliu fouith floor. No lights wcro allowed , ant
the whole night was spout In dark
nous. The scones wcra most agontz
Ing. Hcarti ending shrieks and sob :
nnd moans pierced the gloomy darkness
'i'lic crying of children , mingled will
the suppi cased sobs of the women. No om
slept during nil the dark night. Many knel
for hours In prayer , their supplication
niiiitilliii ; with lliu roar of the waters am
shrieks of the dying la the surroundlnt
houses. In all this misery two women guvi
prumaturu birth to children.

lives on thcu , succeeding day from tuiro
and lutigue. MUs Hose Young , on

the west bank of the rlvor for n distance of
two miles loaves the mind confused. There
nro not over two hundred bodies to bo soon ,
but whllo the mass of pcoplo walked back
nnd fortfi they were strangers. Not ono
person in ton that ono mot was a resident of
this vicinity. It loads to the bullet that
hundreds , parhaps thousands , ara still
burled In the mud nnd debris , burned In the
awful fur unco at the stone bridge or lodged
further down than the searchers have yet
gone. That many are burled yet Is also in
dicated by the fresh finds every few hours ,
nd the unmistakable odor that rises from
ho acres of lire on the river bank.
riiUNimutxo TIII : nnu > .
As the roads to the roundabout nro opened
lecds of thu vilest natures perpetrated in
ho darkness of the night are brought to
Ight.
Just as the shadows began to fall upon the
earth last evening n party ot thirteen Hun
garians were noticed stoalthlly picking their
vnv nlong the hanks of the Conemaugh
awards Sang Hollow. Divining their pur-
> ese , several farmers armed tho'msolves nnd
taricd In pursuit. Soon their most terrible
'ears ' wcro realized. The Hungarians wuro
out for the plunder lying upon the shores.
They came upun n dead and mangled body
of n woman upun whoso person wuro a num-
jor of trinkets , gold jewelry and two diamond
mend rings. In their cagornoss to secure
.ho plunder the Hungarians got into a light ,
aurlng which ono of their number severed
.ho finger upon which wcro the rings , nnd
started uu n run with his fearful prize. The
revolting nature of the doo.l so wrought
upon the pursuing farmers , who , by this
.lino , were close at hand , that they gave im-
ncdiato chase. Somoof the Hungarians
showed fight , but , bolng outnumbered , were
compelled to flea for their lives. Nine of the
jrutea escaped , but four ivero literally driven
ulo the surging rlvor und to their death.
The Inhuman monster whoso atrocious act
: ias been described was among the number
of the involuntary suicides.
LVXOHGD TUB l.OOTnllS.
Another incident of even greater moment
has Just been brought to notice. At 8:30 :
o'clock this morning an old railroader , who
had walked from Sang Hollow , stepped up tea
a number of men who wcro congregated on
the platform of the station at Currunsvlllo
and said :
Gentlemen , if I had a shotgun with mo
half nu hour ago I would now bo
a murderer , yet with no fear of ever having
to suffer for my crime. Two miles below
hero I watched three men iroing along the
hanks stealing Jewels from the bodies of the
dead wives and daughters of men who have
been robbed of all they hold dear on earth. "
Ho had no sooner finished the last sentence
than live burly men were on their way to the
scene of the plunder , one with a rope and
another with a revolver. In twenty minutes
they had overtaiton two of the ghouls , who
were then in the act of cutting pieces from
the ears and fingers from the hands of two
dead women. With the revolver leveled at
the scoundrels the leader of the posse
shouted , 'Throw up your hands
or I'll blow your heads off ! "
With blanched faces and trembling
forms they obeyed the order and begged for
mercy. They were searched , and ns their
pockets wer emptied of their ghastly finds ,
Iho indignation of the crowd intensified , and
when the bloody finger of un infant encir
cled with two tiny gold rings was found
among the plunder , the cry went up ,
"Lynch them1. Lynch thorn ! " Without u
moment's delay ropes iverc thrown about
their necks and they were dangling 10 a tree ,
in the.branches of which an hour bofoio
wcro the entangled bodies of the dead
father nnd son. After the expiration of
a half-hour , the ropes were cut and the
bodies lowered und carried to a pile of rocks
in the fores , on the Ii'll ' above.
MiyiSTlMtlXO TO THE SICK.
A squad of Battery B , under command of
Lieutenant Brown , ( the forerunner of the
whole battery ) arrived nt the improvised
telegraph ofllco nt (1:90 ( : o'cloci : . Ho wont at
once lo Adjutant-General Hastings and ar
ranged for proper protection.
Medical dispensary under Directors Wake-
field , of the Cambria Medical society , Stew
art , of the Allegheny society , and Milligan ,
of the Westmoreland socleiy , is doing good
work. Dr. Milligan slates thai Ihoy treated
UOO patients to-day. They uro nt Napoleon
street , , in-Kcariisvillo. No surgical inslru-
iiionts could bo procured in the city
until 8 o'clock this afternoon.
Among their 300 patients the doclors have
many wilh faclurcd skulls , and nearly all
have broken bones , Ono man had a heavy
Iron bar driven through his leg beneath the
knee , separating two bones. A thigh ampu-
tr.tion was made. A woman has her knee
and iho lower part of a limb crushed out of
nil shape. Dr. Milligan reported ut G p. m.
that seventy-six bodies had been taken out
of Koarnsvillonnd eighty-live above the silk
works.
Chief Evans , of the Pittsburg fire depart
ment , arrived this evening with oneines Nos.
2 ami 15 nnd several hose carls and a full
complement of men. A large number of
Pittsburg physicians came on the same train.
Mr. Crousu , Iho proprietor of the South Park
Fishing club hotel came to Johnstown this
afternoon. Ho says that when iho dam of
Conemaugh luke broke the water seemed lo
leap , scarcely touching the ground. It
bounded down the valley , crashing and roarIng -
Ing , carrying everything before it. For n
mile its front seemed Hko a solid wall ,
twenty fcut high. The warning given the
stncHcn city was sent from Souih Fork by
Freight Agent Dechort. When Iho great
wall that held the body of the water began
to crumble ul the top ho soul n message beg
ging the people of Johnstown for God's
sake to take to the hills. Ho reports no
serious accidents at South Fork.
Uichard Davis ran to Prospect hill when
thu water raised. As to Dochort's messsyo ,
bo says that Just suoh a ono has boon sent
down ut each Hood since the lake was made.
The warning so often proved useless that
littio alienton ! was paid to it this lima ,
"J can not describe the mad rush , " he jntd.
"At first U looked Hko dust. That must have
been spray. I could sou houses going down
before it Hko u child's play blocks set on end
in a row. As It came nearer I could see
houses toiler for a moment , then rise , and
the next moment he crushed like egg shells
against each other. "
Mrs. James Davis , her two daughters and
son , cun nowheie ho found. At Woodvalo
there was a row of bricic tenement houses
I'M feet long und thrco stories high. It slood
bioudbldo to iho current. A few tenants
fled , but many went to tholr attics to watch
the fiooil. To-day scarcely a foundation of
the row of brick houses can bo found. Super
intendent Kiorilund , of the West Pennsyl
vania railroad , arrived at Cuito 11. m. . with n
car toad of provisions from Blalrsvlllo.

A inemhnr of the Johnstown eafoty com
mittco said to a reporter this evening. "For
God's sake , toil them ut PIHsburg lo stop
the rusU of slglit-hCiTs to this stricken
locality. There Is enough to last for weeks ,
and ill' } morbid curiosity of thu people can
Just ns wall bo gr.Unl''d later ns now. The
crowds have greatly embarrassed us to-ilny.
The authorities must stop It. "
Aiijiu.int-llener.il Hust'ngs ' and Major
Snngor have assumed entire charge of
Johiibtown and viciulty , and slrict discipline
will bo enjoined n am now on as much us
possible. General Hustings' headquarters
are at Iho Pennsylvania railroad depot. A
supply depot is established al this point , and
many ncei'y ' pcoplo are being relieved. Tlio
bodies that are dug out Ho in the station un
til cofllns can bo obtained. They are burled
in Prospect Hill.
James McMlllon , vice president of the
Cambria Iron works , Iti a conversation , thiu
afternoon , bald ; ' ! do not Know what our
loss Is. Tlio upper mill is a total wreak , bit
ing damaged beyond all lopalrs. Thu lower
mill U damaged to such un extent that all the
machinery and buildings are useless. The
mill will bo rebuilt immediately. "
The Gamier wlro works , which was com
pletely destroyed , IH owned and operated by
tlmCambila Iron company. The buildings
will be Immediately rebuilt and put In opera
tion ns soon as possible. Loss at this point is
complete. The laud ou which it stood 1s to-
r 4' as Darren uuU desolate us If it stood iu
ho midst of the Sahara desert. The Cam-
> rln Iron company loses Its great supply
tores at this point. The Darmotuh club ,
vhoro the employes of the works boarded ,
vns carried away In the Hood. It contained
nany occupants at the time. Nona were
saved. The losses of the Cambria Iron com-
inny nro given nt f rom $2,000,000 to $3,600,000 ;
) Ut little of this can bo recovered.
( TUB nori : imtnoE.
Crossing the brldgo which spans the chasm
Iu ? by the waters between the stone brldgo
and Johnstown , Is an exciting task , It is n
larrow rope bridge. A slide , n series of
'rightful tosses from side to sldo , a run and
you have crossed the brldgo. The brldgo
) llchos Hko n ship In n storm and within two
nchcs of your feet rush the muddy waters
of Cononmugh. Ono has to cross Conomaugh
it a fieeond point In order to reach Johns-
lown proper. This was accomplished by n
skiff ferry. The fcirryman clung to the rope
nnd pulled the lotd over. After landing ,
ono walks across n acsolntn sea of mud in
which there Is Intcrro.1 the remains of many
hundred bodies. It was once n handsome
portion of the town. The collars are filled
up with mud BO that a person who has never
seen the city can hardly Imaglno that houses
over stood whcro they did.
The work of getting the bodies together
for Identification began this afternoon on
Sarslleld avenue on n vacant lot. At C
o'clock thU was almost entirely covered with
cofllns , whllo between them nnd stooping
over them were weeping mon nnd women.
Although the number was short of 100 , at 5
o'clock others will come , nnd there Is no toll
ing what the total will bo. In ono rough box
was a piece of paper with the words , "Tlirco
children. " To-night they were lifted out
and all thrco placed In one collln. The little
bodies were almost nude , and their faces
wcro bruised and cut.
The scone iu St. Columbia Catholic church
was awful. Forty or fifty bodies had been
carried into It and laid sldo by side. In this
church were five children. No ono had iden
tified them tliLi afternoon. Their little curls
were matted with mud. Their nostrils were
filled with sand und their eyes completely
covered.
TIIC FLooi-s\yurT TOWN .
It Is Impossible to describe the appearance
of the main street. Whole houses have been
swept down the utrctt and become lodged.
The wreck Is piled as high us iho second
story windows. The reporters could stop
from the wreck into the auditorium of the
opera house. The ruins consist of parts of
houses , trees , saw logs , reels from the wire
factory , otc. The houses have their sidewalls -
walls and roofs torn up , and you can walk
directly into what had noon n second story
bedroom , or go in by way of tlio top. Fur
ther up town u raft of logs was lodged In tlio
street und did great damage. The best de
scription that can be given of the
general appearance of the wreck Is to
imagine a number of children's blocks
placed closely together and then draw your
hand through thotn In almost every direc
tion. At the commencement of the wreck
age , which is at the opening of the valley of
Conemaugh , ono can look up the valley lor
miles and not sea n house. Nothing stands
but an old woolen null. Charles Luther is
thu mime of a boy who stood on nn adjacent
clcvntlon nnd saw the whole flood. Ho said
ho heard n grindimr noise up the valley , and
lookinc up ho could see n dark line moving
slowly towards him. Ho saw that it was a
house. High in the nir would bo tossed n
log or a beam which would fail back with a
crash. Down the valley the flood moved
and across the llttlo mountain city. For ten
minutes nothing but moving houses was seen
nnd then the waters came with a roar and a
rush. This lasted for two hours , and then it
began lo flow more steadily.
HUMANvui.ruitis. .
The pillaging of houses in Johnstown ib
something awful to contemplate and do-
scribe. It makes ono feel almost ashamed
to cull himself a. man and know that others
who bear the same name , have converted
themselves into human vultures preying on
the dead. Men arc carrying shotguns and
revolvers nnd woo betide the stranger who
looks even suspiciously at uny article.
Goods of great value wcro bo'ng ' sold m
town for drink of . A
to-day a whisky. sup
ply store has boon established in the Fourth
ward in Johnstown. A line of men , women
and children extending for a square waited
to have their wants supplied.
The school house has bcon converted Into
a morgue , and the dead are being buried
from tills place. A hospital has been opened
near by nnd is full of patients.
The Pennsylvania railroad is laying its
track from Johnstown to the washout. A
temporary bridge is being built , and by to
morrow ovcnlmr trains will bo run into
Johnstown. Communication by rail has
been established between Pittsburg and the
end of iho stone bridge. Assistant Superin
tendent Trump is on iho ground and is au
thority for the news. Ho knows nothing of
the condition of the truck between Johns
town and Altoona. In some place , it is said ,
the tracks were scoopoJ out to ttio depth of
twenty feet. The Pcnnsyvanla railroad
loses thirtv-iivo engines and muny cars. The
Baltimore & Ohio tracks are now open.
The tire in the wreck has spread rapidly
all day and the uppar part of the dntt is
burning to-night. A fire unglno is stationed
on the river bank and others will bo gotten
there by the Baltimore & Ohio. The natu
ral gas 1ms decn shut off , owing to the many
leaks In Johnstown. No fire is allowed in
the city.
A funeral was being held at ono of the
Catnollo churches at the time of the flood.
The congregation deserted the church and
the body was burned with the building. The
citi/ons committee has issued a proclamnlion
llml all men who are able for work must re
port for work or leave the place. Tnoro is
lee much to do to support idlers aud the eom-
mittco will not abuse Iho generous help lhat
is being bent by friends.
ANOTIIIH STOUV.
Johnstown is the most complete wreck
that the imagination can portray. Probably
five hundred houses have been swept from
the face of the earth us completely a $ if they
had never been erected. The main street
from end to end Is piled fifteen to twenty
feet high with debris und In some Instances
Is us high as the roofs of the
houses. This great mass of wreckage
fills the streets from curb to curb nnd
fiequently has crushed the fronts of build-
inijH iu and filled the space with reminders
of the terrible calamity. I1 rom the woolen
mill above the Island to the bridge , a dis
tance probably of two miles , n strip of terri
tory nearly n half a mile In width lias been
swept clean , not n stick of timber or ono
brick on lop of another being loft to toll the
tale. All day long men , women nnd children
wcro plodding about the desolate
waste , trying in vain to locate the
boundaries of former homes. Nothing but
a wide expanse of mud remained for their
contemplation , These losses , however , uro
as nothing compared to the frightful sacri
fices of precious human lives to bo seen on
every hand. During all this solemn Sunday
Johnstown has been drenched with the tears
of stricken mortals , and the air Is filled with
sobs and sighs that como from breaking
hearts , Them are scones enacted hero every
hour and every minute that effect all behold
ers profoundly.
urr : ALONK.
An utterly wretched womnn named Mrs.
Tonn , stood by a muddy pool of water try'nir '
to find homo ( race of a happy homo. Hue
was half crazed with grief and horoyos were
red and swollen , As the writer stepped tc
her sldo she raised her pale and haggard
face nnd remarked : "They uro all gone. Oh
God , bo merciful to them. My husband and
my seven dear children have buon swept
down with the flood , and I am loft alone.
Wo wcro driven by the Hood Into
the gnrrctt , but the water followed us thero.
Inch by inch II kept rising until our heads
wcro crushed against iho roof. It was death
to remain , BO I raised u window , and ono | > y
ono placed my darlings ou some drift wood ,
trusting to the great Creator. As I liberated
thu last ono of my sweet llttlo boys , he looked
at mo and said : 'Mamma , you always told
nio that the Lord would care for mo ; will ho
look after mo now ! ' I saw him
drift away from sight forovcr. Tlio next
moment the roof crashed In , and I jtoated
outside to bo rescued fifteen hours later
from the roof of iho house in ttio valley. If 1
could only Und ono of my darlings. I could
how to the will of God , bu . they are all
gnno. I have lost everything on earth now ,
but my life. " A handsome woman walked
through tha depot , wncra u dozen ot
more bodies were awaiting tholr
burial , Passing from ouo to another ,
she finally lifted the paper covering
'rom the fnco of a womant young , nnd with
traces of beauty showing tllrpugh the stains
of the muddy water. With a cry of anguish
oho reeled backward , to bo caught by n man
who chanced to bo p.vwlnff. In a moment or
BO she had calmed herself : sufficiently to take
ono more look nt the features of her dead.
She stood gazing at the uiifortunato dead
womnn , who was n sister of the mourner.
The body was placed in n coffin a few mln-
ites later and sent nwny to Its narrow house.
.These incidents uro but fair samples of the
scenes familiar to every turn In this stricken
city. The loss of Hfo is simply dreadful ,
The most conservative pcoplo declare that
the number will roach 5,000.
The streets have bdcn full of mon carrying
bodies to various places , where they await
identification since morning , nnd the worn
has only just bigun. Every hour
or so forces of J men working In
various heaps of dobrli find number of bodies
buried In the mud and wreckage. It Is be
lieved that when the llamas are extinguished
In the wreckage nt the bridge , nnd the same
is removed , that hundreds and hundreds of
victims will bo discovered. In fnct , this
seems certain , ns donins of bodies have al
ready been found on Uho outskirts of the
muss of broken timbers ,
lioports from outsldi points nro also ap
palling. Up toil o'clock to-night ISO bodies
liavo bcon embalmed at Nineveh , and there
Is n report that 200 moro have been
discovered half burled -in the mud on an
Island between Now Florence nnd iho place
named. At the Fourth ward school house
over
ONE HUNPllKt ) VICTIMS
have been laid out for identification. In
many cases tliov have been recognized , whllo
In many moro tabs bear the simple word ,
"Unknown. " Shocking sights have become
so common that they hiwo lost their terrors ,
and the finding of a body hero nnd there at
tracts Hula or no attention from the great
crowds that constantly line the river banks
and crowd all other ndccsslblo places. As
this Is being written hundreds and hundreds
of homeless men , womo'n nnd children uro
sleeping on the hillside under tents that
were sent on from Pittsburg nnd other places
about thu country. '
Thu Pennsylvania railroad has succeeded
Iu getting a track through to the city and
provisions enough to meet all immediate
wants have nrrived. The pcoplo who nro
not disabled are working earnestly for the
revival of the stricken city , but it will tnxo
months of work to como nnywhero near re
pairing the fearful damages , white It is
about certain that the list of the
loss will never bo made complete.
The supply of coffins sent In from
Pittsburg and other points is BO great that
the relief committee ttlographed last even
ing not to send any moro until ordered.
Dozens of places have already sent in gener
ous sums of money , and pcoplo are encour
aged to believe nil ihcir pressing wauls will
bo provided for. It will reruiiro several days
10 ascertain anything Hko u definite Idea of
life , but it will certainly reach up into the
thousands. Every hour brings fresh evidence -
donco of the fact that the disaster eclipses
anything of the kind in the history of the
country , and no ono can. Bay what the final
result will be.
ALMOST i.TXonm > .
A case of attempted lynching was wit
nessed this evening near ICcnvillc. A man
was observed stealing valuable articles from
houses. Ho was seized by u mob , a rope
placed around his nock and ho was jerked up
into the air. The rope was tied lo a tree ,
and his would bo lynchers loft him. By
standers cut him down before ho was dead.
The other mou did not interfere and ho was
allowed to go.
SHOT A MAX ,
Ex-Mayor ChalmerDlclc , , of Johnstown ,
shot a man in Johustownt to-day for robbing
a dead woman's bolli' . The 4 > tory related of
Mr. Dick is that ho suvy- the man go to the
dead body of a woman and-'tnko off sev
eral rings that fehc had on. Ho pulled
out his revolver flud'fired ; The bullet strucic
iho man. He fell forward into the water
and his body was washed awav by the cur
ront. This afternoon Editor Swank , of the
Johnstown Tribune , received n telegram
from Senator Quay to draw on him at sight
nt the Beaver Deposit bank for $500 ia aid of
the afflicted. W. S. Brown , of Pittsburg , of
the Amcricus Hcliof corps , to-day notified
Captain ICuhn , city solicitor , thai the Pitts-
burg masons stand ready to furnish anything
that is wanted. *
The scenes at supper time show lhat hun
ger is beginning to drive sufferers to des
peration. They surrounded the freight cars
lhal had been fitted up to feed the hungry
and shouted for bread. At first these in
charge tossed provisions into the crowd ,
and an awful scramble followed. Children
were
THAMI'I.EB USDCIl FEET ,
and women were unable to get food , though
they need it. worst Finally the Allegheny
and Pitlsburg police stopped the throwing of
food and forced the crowd to pass in n single
lilo before the car doors. Then there was
no moro trouble , though littio children were
crying for bread. "Where's that child
without stockings I" called out a committee
man from thu car filled with clothing. There
wcro a dozen shivering littio girls in sight ,
and us many wore too pooily clothed to pro
tect them from the weather , nnd as it is
very cold hero to-night , many a poor woman
and her children uro suffering.

WASHINGTON. D. V. , Juno 2. f
It Is very natural that there should bo a
great deal of Interest taken by the people
throughout the country , just nt this time , In
the compilation of the Eleventh census.
Many people arc seeking ofllecs now , and an
army of something Hko10,000 men will al
together bo employed In tlio census work.
Only a small number of this vast aggrega
tion will have employment longer than
thirty or forty dnvs. However , the super
intendent of the census and his force of
clerks are at work now upon the plans for
the real work in the Hold , which Is to begin
un the 1st of Juno next year. Altogether
there will bo 173 supervisors appointed
throughout the states and territories , an in
crease of twenty-live over the list of ten
yours ago. The supervisors will bo ap
pointed according to the population
and the work which they will have to super
intend. They will receive $125 salary , ana
are glvrn fl for every 1,000 persons enumer
ated in thickly settled districts , and $1.40 nor
1,000 In thinly settled districts. They shall
not bo permitted to make an aggregate of
over ? 500 for the entire work. This Is very
good pay , ns scarcely over forty days of
actual work will bo involved. The super
visors uro appointed by the president and
must bo con Ill-mod by the senate. The enum
erators will bo appointed by the superinten
dent of the census upon the recommendation
or the supervisors , and in the selection of
this army of enumerators a very lively light
will take place between republican represen
tatives and republican senators , each claim-
the right to name both the supervisors
and the enumerators. The pay llxed
lor the numerators is B cents a head
for all enumerated , and 5 cents for each sol
dier or soldier's widow : 15 cents for a farm ,
iind 20 cents for each manufacturing estab
lishment in the thickly populated regions.
The enumerators uro not permitted to IIIUKO
more than $1 u day , and in the sparsely set
tled districts their salaries nro con lined to $0
a day. Those having thickly settled dis
tricts nro expected to enumerate about 4,000
souls ; In the thinly populated districts the
salaries will bo llxcu arbitrarily without ref
erence to the number enumerated. The ap
pointment of the supervisors and the en
umerators must take place not later than the
1st of May , lb)0. ! ) as all of the work shall be
done in the following June. Most of the
supervitlors will , of course , bo determined
upon by the end of this year , and about
all of them will bo nominated
by the president during the first
three months of next year. The
superintendent of the census has about com
pleted a rallsirietjne of the country for the
next census , and has determined the number
of supervisors each state shall have. Under
tnp now apportionment , Nebraska will have
tlireo supervisors , an increase of one in num
ber in comparison with the number allowed
that state under the Tenth census ; and Iowa
will receive four supervisors , the same num
ber she had ten years ago.
SOME AIIMY GOSSIP.
The agitation which has existed in army
circles for some time over the succcssorship
to Adjutant-General Drum , the promotion of
ono of the senior captains to be assistant ad
jutant-general , with the ranic of major , and
the action of President Harrison on the de
cision , r.nd recommendations of Hie court
martial which tried Major Arms , on the ro
th cd list , for tweaking the nose of Governor
Heaver , of Pennsylvania , over a dispute re
specting a position in the inaugural parade ,
has about subsided owing to the great and
unexpected delay , 'jhcso questions , it was
confidently expected , three or four weeks
ago , would bo disposed of fully u week be
fore the 1st of June. The president , evi
dently , docs not consider an emergency ox-
istimr in any of those cases , and since h3
refuses to disclose his future actions on any
questions , no reliable information can be
had. The friends of Colonel S. Whipple and
Colonel Kclton continue to contend that the
adjutant-generalship lies betwcon those two
ntlleers , and the preponderance of opinion is
that Kclton will secure the prize. The
friends of Captain John Bourke , Seventh
cavalry , are exorcising themselves very
much in Ills behalf for the assistant adjutant-
generalship , ana they are confluent that ho
will succeed. Hourko has certainly one of
the best records of any man of his rank in
the army. Ho was in dancer and withstand
ing the severest privations for fifteen or
eighteen years , during and immediately suc
ceeding the war. Ho is scholarly and u gen
tleman. It Is believed that the delay of the
president in taking final action on the decis
ion of the Arms court-martial is duo to
the fact that tha recommendations and the
testimony are at variance. It will bo strange
if this is not true , as the decisions In tlio
Swalm and Lydeeker court-martial cases
were the most remarkable in the judicial an
nals of the army. President Harrison him
self was very much "put out" at the sen
tence in these cases , and ho evidently intends
to take the Arms matter in his own hands
Undoubtedly a better conditloof affairs
exists In the army now than has existed ut
any time during the past six or eight years.
The designation of General Schotiold to bo
acting secretary of war In the absence of
Proctor is in refreshing contrast to the con
tentions over this question , which have
arisen from time to time during the past two
administrations.
ATruiKi.vo iirssa.i. n. HAIUUSOX.
As an Illustration of tha unfair and bit
terly personal warfare being made on Mr.
HuBsell H. Harrison by the democrats in
Montana , it can bo stated that no such per
son lives In Montana territory , BO far as can
bo ascertained , as Hichurd V. Ncgloy , who ,
It was recently published , had written u let
ter to the president , complaining of the al
leged interference of iho president's son In
polities in that territory , and no such letter
as has been published , or , in fact , any kind
of a letter written by Ncgloy , has been do
llvored at the white house , if the Nogloy
letter Is genuine and was written by such 11
person it boars a palpable falsehood on its
face in claiming to be addressed und delivered
to the president , us no such missive bus ever
entered the white house. The democrats In
Montana seem to f really fear the popularity ,
sagacity and prestige of Russell H. Harrison ,
nnd they are trying to defeat him for
nn ofllco at the minds of tlio people
before ho becomes a candidate , and oven be
fore ho announces his aspirations. It is
stated that the speakers the democrats in
tend to send into Montana during the com
ing campaign , will attack the president's son
and cuurgu him with the use of patronage
for the purpose of building himself up for
senatorial election. Such unfairness , Injus
tice and uncalled-for personality has never
entered Into u campaign before , Every
charge against him is basely false and Is un
provoked. The end In view , of course , is to
curry Montana for tno democratic ticket at
any huzard , and secondly , to degrade the
popularity of President Harrison. The
president's son has had no more to do with
the distribution of federal olllcos in Mon
tana than any ether other prominent , active
and good republican citizen of the territory ,
and it can bo further stated that the presi
dent has given ether republicans the snmo
hearing and the same consideration that ho
bus given his son.
WHAT COMMISSIONim TAXXKIl SATS.
"I am not thtn-sklnnod , and care as little

Into eager soldiers' hands , although this Is
but n Might of fancy , nnd they may descrlbo

It will bo my purpose to grant all just pen

next pension appropriation bill shall bo in
creased from ? SO,000,000 to $ ' . (0,000,000 ( , or
from $50,000,000 to $11.0,000,000. , The surplus
can take care of itself , and these who need

Land Commissioner Stockslajjor , whoso
resignation has been accepted , to take effect
July 1 , will Icavo the city for his old homo
at Cory don as soon as the trains run west
out of Washington. Ho has been granted a
leave of absence until the 15lh of Juno. Mr.
Stoekslagor has not made arrangements yet
for the future , nnd the objnct of his visit to
Indiana , this time , is to enter Into a law
partnership nt Now Albany , or complete his
plans for resuming the practice of law nt
Corydon. Ho Is ono of the very last promi
nent democratic officers to bo displaced by
this administration. Ho says his retention
was duo to the unsettled condition in and
the opening of Oklahoma , the inability of
the administration to determine as to his
successor , and the fact that ho was u union
soldier , and made an acceptable officer.
It Is not yet determined who shall bo
his successor , but Assistant Commis
sioner Stone has been designated Qua
acting commissioner. Governor Stone may
become commissioner finally. The only
thing there Is atralnst his appointment Is his
ago. President Harrison believes that there
should bo a 'nan younger than one of about
seventy years to fill a position requiring the
activity that should bo possessed by a com
missioner of the general land office.

The Sioux Commission.

The Sioux commission arrived nt tills agency
yesterday afternoon , nnd decided to postpone
the first council until the third inst. , in
order to give those living at the more dis
tant points time to bo present. It is be
lieved the efforts of interested parties out
side the reservation has succeeded in cre
ating a feeling of hostility , which will
require the utmost nicety of treatment to
overcome.
There has been a dance bv the Omaha
Sioux , at which several chiefs of some prom
inence made speeches , the tone of which
were favorable. While this circumstance
mnv indicatu the growth of the friendly
fooling , which was increased by the feast
given at the close of the dance , it Is believed
the opinions given above arc correct. The
Indians do not now want to part with their
lands , and if they finally consent it will bo
because they nro convinced their interests
will be best subserved by such a course. To
couvince them of this fact will bo no casv
task for the commissioners.

Gladstone Is so hardened an offender that
it is of no use remonstrating with him on
what Whitsuntide tour ho has marked ou\
for himself , and for the miserable reporters
who were just beginning to liopo that they
would got holiday , nt least. It must bo re- ,
mombcrcd that the reporters who can tuka
really verbatim notes nro comparatively few
in number , and that most of this , description
nro engaged in the gallery of the house of.
commons. When Gladstone speaks In tha
country , especially during recess , some ol
these accomplished gentlemen tire required
to follow him , and so with the chief writers
of the great press associations , who do tha ,
descriptive articles. They arc compelled to' *
go to the principle points on the Glndstonlaa
tour. For them , therefore , the news of a
Cornwall expedition came as anything but a
welcome surprise.
It is no Joke of nu expedition , either , so far
as I can learn. Gladstone has arranged to
speak in something like half a dozen places. ,
not quite all at once , and to receive no end ,
of addresses. Ho will rush about in yachts ,
trains and carriages. If lie can not find
something now to say everywhere , ho will ,
at least , succeed in Impressing his audiences
with his unrivaled powers , giving an air ot
novelty to the veriest commonplace.
In the art of putting things there is no ono
equal to him. Between the things ho will
have to put and those ho will have to avoid ,
his work In Cornwall will tax all the ingenu
ity ho can bring to It. For Instance , what
people want to know is , whore the homo
rule question i eally stands. What is homo
rule , and how docs Gladstone propose to embody -
body it in his next bill ?
Dealing with all sides of the subject ho is
wonderfully coy about it.
Is the scheme of 1SSO really dead , or Is it
only sleeping ! ,
No doubt , Gladstone has attended its
funeral as chief mourner , and put up several
affecting epithets over its remains , but can ,
it bo rcsucltatcd at a moment's notice ?
Ttie verbal wizard would only tell us the
present intentions and opinions with regard
to that. Ho would find the whole country
intently listening to him every time , bnt the
time has not come for such confidence. Gen
cr.ilities suftlce for the third year of a parlia
ment.
As a general election approaches , it Is pos
sible that concealment will bo abandoned.
Wo shall then know of how many of its ob
jectionable and unpopular ffiaturcs the homo
rule bill has been shorn.
Perhaps Parnell will cause It to leak out
how much loss ho Is willing to take thin ho
was offered in 1SSU. Some reduction o
term ? will certainly have to bo made if the
once formidable liberal party Is to bo united.
Almost every day , as matters stand , a fresh
schism occurs. Tlio great shock of the
earthquake is over , but of the cdltlco which
survives some corner is continually falling
off , or a now crack appears in tlio wall. The
place can bo shored up so as to last till
election conies around , but , if not , steps can
bo taiccn , now and then , to rebuild it en
tirely.
It is u bad outlook for Gladstone and his
chief followers. Anothnr spoil of power for i
the unionists would bo the death blow of the
liberal party , and that result is fur from im-
piobablc , unless Gladstone contrives to
make n much more favorable impression
upon the public than ho has yet done. This ,
however , is taking a long look ahead. At
present , wo are in the midst of a dull ses
sion , and unless the Irishman break sudden
ly into dullness , It will bo necessary to ccasa
to write to you on parliamentary proceed
ings. They will cease to interest anyone but
oflk'ial bores.
