Interest and surplus fund 61.^08 U5
At the present time there is a general and wide
spread interest taken in the matter ot liiuldmg Asso
ciations. The daily press and the monthly magazines
ar? ventilating the subject, and ucwfchemes and plans
art being brought iorward to catch the unwary. 1 he
only roai aj.d true test is this; It you borrow a sum of
lnuue) troiu an association, hjw much do you have to
pay back ill order to l*? clear ol debt? We believe !
the "Per; etual" will stand this test better than anv
l*lan or scheme yet devised. Thus: We advauce^l.0'>0 |
on , hh .re-4, for a total payment oi $ 14 monthly tor
100 months, or. in other words, >ou get out $1,050
?.ij I bat k ?*! 1,400, or $350 more than you take out.
which is the interest for the loan for 8 years ami 4
month*. Any porflou, or the w hole of the debt, can be
I aid off at any time Share* can l^e taken at any time
ai.d Ho back dues retjHired. Persons owning a lot can
li.?ve the money to build a house, and the monthly dues
will be about whut they would have to pay lor rent,
i ergons subscribing lor shares as an investment can
have their money refunded and ."i per cent iutarest, or
at maturity of inesuar*s, 1 percent pei annum. Next

ject ol th.s expedition is to make a more thor
ough sur\ey ot that section of country than
has ever been made before. It is also "in the
interest of developing and ascertaining the ex

can be utilized as fertilizers.
Representative Gay Dead.?The scrgeant
at-ariusof the House was informed by telegraph
yesterday of the death of Representative Gay,
of Louisiana. Mr. Gay was a member of the
Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses, and was
re-elected to the Fifty-first. He was about
seventy-three years old, but was a hard worker
in Congress, being an active member of the
appropriations committee.
1 he First Woman to Apply.?Superin
tendent Census Porter has received the applica
of Mrs. Kate B. Cothran, of California, to be
appointed supervipor of the census of the Cali
fornia district. This is the first application
ever received from a woman for a position of
that kind. Mrs. Cothran is well-known as a
newspaper writer in California, and is also
known in connection with the management of
I the public schools. The census supervisors
appoint, with the approval of the superinten
dent. the enumerators in their respective dis
tricts. and the question of the emplovment of
women will no doubt be considered. It is
thought that women census-takers will be ant
to get down to the bottom facts in regard to
the statistics of age, a feature of the census
returns which always bothers the male enum
erators.

neighborhood of two millions of dollars. Mr.
Oberly said that the prices obtained were con
sidered to be favorable. The supplies include
provisions, clothing, agricultural implements,
articles for the Indian schools, and nearlv
everything, Mr. Oberly says, that is used by
civilized man, from a pin to a mowing machine.

THE SAVED SUFFERING H10M WAST.
Johnstown, Pa.. Jnne 1.?The waters which
overwhelmed this toau yesterday, carrying
death to hundred* atjd misery to thousands,
are subsiding rapidly, but as yet it is impossi
ble to obtain anything like exact information
concerning the extent of the disaster that lias
visited this city and the district surround lg.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are
mourners ill every family. Thousands are
missing; it is certaiu that hundreds have been
lost, and while many of those who arc now
missing and who are uiourued as dead have
doubtless been saved, the tinal death-roll will,
beyond doubt, bo of appalling length. It is
impossible to describe briefly the suddenness
with which the disaster came.
A WABN1NO SOUND W AS HEAI1D
at Conemaugh a few minutes be I ore the rush
of waters came, but it was attributed to some
meteorological disturbance and no trouble was
borrowed because of the thing unseen. As the
low rumbliug noise increased la volume, how
ever. and came nearer a suspicion of danger
began to force itself even upon the bravest,
which was increased to a certainty a few miu
utes later when with a rush the mighty stream
spread out in width and when there was no
time to do anything to save themselves. Many
of the unfortunates were
WU1BLED INTO THE MIDST OF THE STREAM
before they could turn around; men. women
and children were struggling in the stream,
and it is thought that many of them never
reached Johnstown, but only a mil* or two
below.
At Johnstown a similar scene was enacted,
only on a much larger scale. The population
is greater and the sweeping whirlpool rushed
into u denser mass of humanity. The imagin
ation of tlve reader can better depict the spec
tacle than the writor can give it. It was a twi
light of terror, and the gathering shade of
evening closed in
OK A PANORAMA OF HORROR*
that has few parallels in the history of casual
ties.
Even the thought of such a thing was mad
ness and the agony of the struggling, drown
ing victims found its response m the bosoms of
those who stood wringing their hands in help
less horror in view of their friends. Sow and
then the waters would wash against one side of
the mountain and then to the other side, car
rying with them their human freight. And
this diversion enabled tho^e on the banks to
rescuse many. It will be found that on this
account many will be returned to their homes
and friends who are now accounted lost The
list of dead is therefore a matter of conjecture
anu.will not be definitely known before to
morrow. Searchers are out everywhere from
Johnstown to Blairsville.
THE FUOIT1VE8 RETURNING.
9:40 a. m.?The fugitives are returning to the
place where a few hours ago they were happy
and prosperous but * here all is now desola
tion, and in a few hours more the work of
systematically searching for the victims of the
flood will begin. The water is still too lugh to
attempt to estimate the extent of the loss.
TH K AWFUL HOKKOK.
Fire Adds to the Terrors of the Flood
and Rousts Its Victims.
New Florence. Pa., June 1.?The calamity
of yesterday was as singular as it was fatal. It
is now very evident that more lives have been
lost because of foolish incredulity than from
ignorance of the danger. For more than a
year there have been fears of an accident of
just such a character. The foundations of the
dam were considcred to be bhakv last spring,
and many increasing leakages were reported
from time to time. According to people ?ho
live in Johnstown and other towns on the line
of the river,ample time was given to the Johns
town folks by the railroad officials and by
other gentlemen of stuudiug and reputation m
dozens, yes.hundreds of cases, but this warning
watt utterly disregarded, and those who heeded
it early in the day were looked upon as cow
ards, and many jeers were uttered by lips that
now are cold among the rank grass beside the
river.
ONE POOK NAMII.FSS WOMAN
who looked with sightless eyes at the gray
clouds from the slimy bank of a meadow just
below New Florence, wore a smile. It. per
haps, had its birth in that spirit of "who's
afraid," which has had such awful results.
An awful mud-bedraggled, ghastly burden it
was that came in amoug the meadow, and vet
there was a look of peace on the features tLat
brought tears to the eyes of the rough men
who found her and who fastened the body with
a short string to a post. She had a work-a
day life. _ l'oor creature, her hands were
rough; her face thin and worn and her hair
streaked with gray as the stormy sky just after
dawn. Whether incredulity or foolhardiuess
numbers its tlood victims by scores or by the
hundreds no one yet knows, and it will be many
days before the writing upon tombstones anil
the tracing of "the unknown dead'' are ended.
There has grownup a bitter feeling among the
surviving sufferers against those who owned
the lake aDd dam, and damage suits will be
plentiful by and bye. The dams in Stony
creek, above Johnstown, broke about noou yes
terday, and thousands of feet of lumber passed
down the stream. It is impossible to tell what
the loss of life will roll up. but at U o'clock the
coroner of Westmoreland county sent a mes
sage oat saying that one hundred bodies had
been recovered at Nineveh, half way from here
to Johnstown.
AX ESTIMATE OF 1.200 VICTIMS.
Sober-minded people do not hesitate to say
that 1.200 is moderate. "How can anybody tell
how many are dead?" said a railroad engineer
this morning. "I have been at Song liol' tw
with my train since 11 o'clock yesterday and I
have seen folly 500 persons lost in the flood."
J. W. Esch. a brave railroad employee, saved
16 lives at Nineveh.
The most awful culmination of the awful
night was the roasting of a hundred or more
eersons in midflood. '1 he rains of houses, old
nilding and other structures swept against the
new railroad bridge at Johnstown, ?nu from an
overturned stove or some such cause the upper
part of the wreckage caught fire. There were
crowds of men, women and children on the
wreck, and their screams were soon added to
tu awixl cbobcs or aoutons.
They were literally roasted on the flood. Soon

that at least oue uuudri <! people were con

Another Account.
New Flohi;m e. Pa., June I.?The United
Press correspondent arrived ut this place late
last night, 'lhe details of the awful calamitv
ure Kuiitv d. Every one seeiu* to be dazed, the
disaster set lu:ug to overwhelm the Uativc*.
, Between this place mid liolivar the track la
washed out III uiauy places, itlid w reeking crewa
are busy at Hoik repairing the most dangtroua
. portions.
At Ibis point r< ports substantiate the wildest
rumors that have gout* out. 'lhe last man from
Johnstown brings tbe information tbat scarcely
a iiou.se remains in the city, lhe up|>er portion
above the railroad bridge has beeu i'oait?let* ly
submerged, lhe water is dauuned up against
tlie viaduct, the wr< ck.ig%itud debris tin.sliiug
tile work that the torrent had failed to accom
plish. The bridge at Johustowu. which is a
j Leavy piece ot masonry, proved too staunch
for tiie lury of the torrtut. borne of the top
I stones were displaced.
A tAXILV WASULD AW AT.
A story reaches here that a family conflicting
' of father, mother aud bibu children were
washed away iu a creek at Lockport. The
mother mauaged to reach the shore, but the
husband and children were carried out into
the river to drown. The woman is crazed over
the terrible ivmL After night settled dowu
the horror ot the scenes was enhanced. Above
the roar of the water could be beard tbe pite
ous appeals from the unfortunate as they wer*
carried by. To add to the uppaUiug scene a
brilliant llluiuiuatiob lit Up the sky. A tnuasage
arrived late last nigbt from tvang Ho.low stabug
that this light caiue from a huudn d burning
wrecks of houses Uiatarc plied up ou the JoLna

MOHE THA* A THoC*AND LIVES LOUT.
A supt rviser from up the road brings the in
formation that the wreckage at Johnstown ia
piled up 40 feet above the bridge. Tbe start

lives have been lost. This, however, cannot ho

Tllfcl SITUATION AT BOLIVAR.
Water Higher Thuu Ever Known?
Houses. Irees and Li ridges Afloat.
Bolivar. Pa., June 1.?Tlie water ia higher
here than was ever known, and two-story
houaea. barns, smoke-houses und whole forest*
of treca. railroad bridges, county bridges, rafts,
inverted skiffs aud drift-wood by the acre aro
floating down the riVer, from all of which im
ploring hands are held out to those ou tho
bauks, wiliibg but impotent to help. Informa
tion received is meager, but for tiie most part
accurate. At Lockport, two miles east, more
thau twenty people have been taken !|4iiy the
flood, i he first great rush of water reached
here about 7 o'clock last evening. This cam*
dowu from the buraled dam above Johnstown.
It came like a fr< nzitd whirlpool, and beforo
the people could icalize it they were swept into
its grasp. Fortunately the people living on the
low-ly lug grouud escaped. At 7 :.'J0 o'clock laat
bight a great pile of drift-wood was swept
along, aud from it came crie* of "Help,"
"Help," aud of
"ron ood's sake come."
The horrified spectators on the shors saw
three women on a raft, to one of whom were
clinging two children, neither of whom waa ap
parently more than an lufaut. The rapidilf of
the current and the position of the rait on tho
stream, together with the lack of factiitiaa lor
reacuing. precluded the possibility of eve*
thinking iu the matter, ana the raft passed out
of sight, the screams of the women and chil
dren blending in tbeir pleadings tor aid long
after the raft paaaed around the beud.
The stream then became thick-strewn with
men, women aud children clinging to all aorta
ot
TKKTOBABT MEAXS OF SALVATION,
