JOHNSTOWN, PA., June aThe situation here on the 3d, has not changed to any ex tent and the estimate of loss of life,at 8,000 does not seem to have been exagger ated. Six hundred bodies are now lying in Johnstown, and a large number have already been buried. Four immense relief trains arrived last night, and the survi vers are being well cared for. A portion of the police force of Pittsburg and Alle gheny are on duty, and better order is maintained than prevailed yesterday. Communication has been restored between Cambria City and Johnstown by a foot bridge. The work of repairing the tracks between Sang Hollow and Johnstown is going on rapidly, and trains will probably be running by to-morrow morning. Not less than 15,000 strangers are in the city. The following are the names of a few among the thousands who perished: F. Butler, James Q. Cox George Randolf, Harry Barbour, James Murtha, Mrs. W. Jones, Robert Miller, Eller Brinky, S. D. Eldridge, Mrs. Barbour, Jacob "Wald, wife and child, Kate Lihdhait, Robert Baldwin, C. McNally, Frank Dimond, William Pen rod, P. McAuley, John Streiner, M. L. Davis, Mrs. Defranee, the two Misses Richards, Ella Harrington, Charles A, Marshall, John Beems, John Anderson, C. H. Wilson, M. Little, A. M. Jones, Misses Halton, (3), C. R. Butler, Charles Milson, John Andrews, John Burns, Mr. McCoy, Mrs. O'Connell. Conemaugh, Woodvale, Kernville, Cam bria City and other surrounding towns in the Hooded district are as badly off as Johnstown. At Conemaugh the[inhabitants of the lower lying portion of the town have been literally wiped out of existence. At Woodvale the percentage of death is even greater than that at Johnstown. Kernville has only a house or two as a monument to its former respectable pro portions. Cambria City is not even a ghost of its former self, while all along the line of the torrent the isolated houses of hun dreds are without occupants. The relief provisions for Johnstown must be extend ed to these other places as rapidly as rail road transportation facilities can be fur nished. The towns named all lie between Johnstown and the South Fork dam, whose bursting caused the disaster. At Wood vale the dead bodies of hundreds are lying in the debris relatively as numerously as they are in Johnstown. At Conemaugh the same condition of things prevails. Toe scarcity of the living *tbot places makes the recovery of bodies very slow work.

Suspicious of their purpose several farmers, well armed, started in pursuit and found their worst fears real ized.

A BOLD ROBBER. Single-IIanded He Forces tbe Faswngwra on a Milwaukee St Northern Train to Give Up Their Valuables, Amonnt^ng to a Goodly Sum. '^g %$$* & ELLIS JUNCTION, Wis., May *).'A bold' robber held up the passengers on the MIL waukee & Northern night passenger train in fine Western style Wednesday night As the train pulled out of Beaver, a small station fifty miles south of Iron Mountain, a man about five feet eight inches tall, dressed like a lumberman and wearing a full dark beard, entered the ladies' car. His entrance did not create any excitement, but when he reached the rear end of the coach he pulled out two revolvers and quickly requested the brakeman to hand over his cash. That individual, not having any about him, made for the nearest seat, but the robber told him to get up and march ahead of him. E. C. Allen, of Marinette, was the first passenger reached by the robber, and Mr. Allen handed over $175 and a fine gold watch and chain. A traveling man who sat in the next seat handed out a roll of bills said to have contained $800. James Hughes, of Iron River, had only $500 and a silver watch, which the highwayman appropriated. As each pas senger paid the tax he was made to march ahead of the fellow until all the coaches had been gone through. .When the male passengers were huddled in the forward end of the smoking-car like a lot of sheep he shoved his way through and backed out of the door and jumped off the train and escaped just as the train was'' pulling into the station. Conductor Ellison was in charge of the train, and at the first alarm made for the baggage-car and barred the door. Once safe within he did not show up again till he was informed that the robber had left the train. There were several lady passengers on the train, but this follower of Jesse James, with true gallantry, did not molest them. A large crowd of men under the leader ship of Deputy Sheriff Schlick, of Marinette County, have gone down the track to hunt the fellow, but the chances of capturing him are slight owing to the country here abouts being heavily covered with timber. The robber is supposed to be the same one who has been holding up the mail stages in Oconto County, the county ad joining thia The people of this little ham let are very much excited over the robbery, and each family expects to receive a call from him before the dawn of day. 1 VICTIMS OF A WRECK. A Canadian Schooner Caught in a Storm on L,ake OntarioHer Crew of Eight IostDriven Ashore In American "Waters Other Vessels Fear to Assist Her Be cause of the "Wrecking Laws. KINGSTON, Ont, May 30.The worst dis aster that has occurred on Lake Ontario in many years took place Tuesday. The steam barge D. D. Calvin, of Kingston, with a tow of three schooners with timber from St. Ignace, was struck by a gale off Long Point The tow line parted and the Norway, Valencia and. Bavaria were in the trough of the sea. The two former managed to come to anchor after being water logged, and were picked up by the Calvin and Armenia and brought here. The crews were perched on cabin tops for twenty four hours, without food and with the waves washing over them, and suffered terribly. The Bavaria went ashore on Galloo Island, sixty miles from here, and the crew were all lost. They were: Captain John Marshall, First Mate Felix Campau. Second Mate John Snell and Sea man William McGarrity, all of Garden Island Archie Borley and Elias Borley, of St. Paul's Bay Sandy Berry, of Pittsburgh, and Bella Hartman, cook. Marshall leaves a wife and three children, Campau a wife and six chil dren, and Snell-a widowed mother. The present furnishes an instance in which reciprocity in wrecking would have been a great advantage to a Canadian. The Bavaria is ashore on Gallop Island, which is in American water. The Armenia, one of the Calvin's boats, was alongside of her during the morning, and could have begun the rescue but for the wrecking laws. Permission was given Wednesday night by the American Govern ment for the Calvin Company's steamer Armenia to go to the relief of the Bavaria, and she is now on her way there. iffTHE SAMOAN*CONFERENCE.
