At the city post-office considerable mail for
southern points has accumulated since Satur
day. Mails have been dispatched regu
larly for the north and east.
A mail from the northwest arrived
here from Chicago last night at midnight. It
came around by way of New York. Mails for
Chicago, the northwest and southwestern
points are being dispatched from here by the
same roundabout way. A mail from Pittsburg,
dated May 31, arrived here at 2 o'clock this
morning. It had to make a journey through
New York state to get here.

to go by the bay to Norfolk, and thence by the
coast line.
The New Auditors.
Geo. P. Fisher, of Dover, Del., appointed first
auditor of the Treasury, as stated in Saturday's
Star, is well known in this city, for in 1863

Columbia, and he held that office until 1870,
when he resigned it to take the place of United
States attorney for the District. At another

Johnstown, Pa.. June 3,-The dark disaster
oftriday, with its attendant terrors, thrilled
the universe and drew two continents closer
together in the bonds of sympathy that bind
humanity to man. The midnight terrors of
Ashtabula and C'hatsworth evoked tears of
pity from every fireside in Christendom; but
the true story of Johnstown, when all is known,
will stand solitary and alone as the acme of
man's annihilation by the potent forces to
which humanity is ever subject. The menacing
clouds still hover darkly over the valley of
death, and the muttering thunder that ever
an-' nnon reverberates faintly in the distance
seems the sardonic chuckle of the demon of de
? < -? ne pursues his way to other lands
. other humeri, But
THE MODEBN DELUGE HAS DON* ITS WORST
for Johnstown. The waterj are rapidly subsid
ing; but the angry torrents still eddy around
Ararat, and the winged messenger of peace has
?t fiopeared to tell the pathetic tale of those
who escaped the devastation of Friday. It is
>?? -Knc/ed utterance to say that no pen
can adequately depict the horrors of this twin
disaster?holocaust and deluge; the deep emo
on-* that well from the heart of every specta
tor find most eloquent expression in silence?
th<- Hik-mre that bespeaks man's recognition of
his subserviency to the elements and impotence
to avert catastrophe. The insignificance of
human life is only fully realized by those who
witness such scenes as Johnstown and Chats
wtn-.u and Ashtabula, and to those whose mem
ory retains the picture of horror the dread ex
perience cannot fail to be a fitting lesson.
THIS MORNING OPENS CP DARK AND DBEABY.
Cireat drops of rain fall occasionally and
another storm seems imminent. Every one
tec!s thankful, though, that the weather still
remains cool, and that the gradual putrefaction
or the hundreds of bodies that still line the
streams and lie hidden under the miles of
driftwood and debris is not unduly hastened,
lhis morning the peculiar stench of decaying
Human flesh is plainly perceptible to the senses
as one ascends the banks of Stony creek for a
half mile along the smouldering ruins of the
wreck, and the most skeptical now conceive the
worst and realize that hundreds, aye. perhaps
thousands, of bodies lie charred and blackened
beneath
1*HIS GBEAT FUNERAL PYRE.
Searchers wander wearily over this smoking
mass, and as occasionally a sudden shout comes
>ver the waters the patient watchers on .the
iiili realize that another ghastly discovery has
been added to that long list of revelations that
chill every heart and draw tears to the eyes of
pessimists. From the banks many charred re
mains of victims of flames and flood are plainly
visible to the naked eye as the receding waters
reluctantly give up their dead. Beneath al
most every log or blackened beam a glistening
fkull or blanched remnants of ribs or limbs
mark all that remains of life's hopes and
dreams. Since 10 o'clock last night the fire
engines have been busy. Water has been con
stantly playing on the burningruins. At times
the lire seems almost extinguished, but
FITFUL FLAMES BREAK OUT AFRESH
in some new quarter and again the water and
Hames wage fierce combat. The chief sensa
tion of the morning has been the united remon
strance of the physieians against the extin
guishment of the burning wreck. Thev main
tain with a philosophy that to anxious "search
ers seems heartless that hundreds, if not
thousands of lifeless and decaying bodies lie
beneath this mass of burningruins. -'It would
be better," they say. --to permit Nature's great
est scavenger-the flames-to pursue his work
unmolested than to expose to further decay the
horde of putrefying bodies that lie beneath
this debris. There can be but one result.
Days will elapse before the rubbish can be
sufficiently removed to permit the recovery of
these bodies, and long ere that every corpse
will be a parted mass, yielding forth those
frightful emenations of decaying human flesh
that in a crowded community like this can give
but one result?the dreadful typhus. Every
battlefield has demonstrated the necessity of
the hasty interment of decaying bodies,
and the stench that already arises is a fore
runner of impending danger. Born the wreck
burn the wreck." '
A LOUD CRT OF INDI0NATI0K
arose from the lips of the vast multitude, and
the warnings of science were lost in the eager
demands of those that sought the remains of
the near and dear. The hose was again turned
upon the hissing mass and rapidly the flames
yielded to the supremacy of water. It is almost
impossible to conceive the extent of these
smoking ruins. An area of eight or ten acres
above the dam is covered to a depth of forty
feet with shattered houses, borne from the resi
dent center of Johnstown. In each of these
houses it is estimated there were from one to
twenty or twenty-five people. This is accepted
as data upon which to estimate the nnmber
that perished on this spot, and if the data be
correct, the bodies that lie beneath these ruins
must run well up into the hundreds, if not the
thousands.
FBOK FOUR TO FIT* THOUSAND LOST.
As yet there is no telling how many lives
have been lost. Adjutant-General Hastings,
who has charge of everything, stated thismorn
ing that he supposed there was at least 2,000
people under the burning debris, but the only
way to find out how many lives were lost was
to take a census of the people now living, and
subtract that from the census before the flood.
' 1,1-v opinion there are anywhere
from 4.000 to 5.000 souls lost."
Buttery B, of Pittsburg, arrived in the city
this morning under command of Lieut Shei?
pard. who went to the headquarters of Adju
tant-General Hastings, in the tower. The iren
eral had Just got up, and as the officer ap
Eere?" said: ??Who sent you
1 was sent here by the chamber of com
merce," replied the lieutenant OI com
ell. I want to state that there are only fonr
people who can order yon out, via: The gov
ernor, adjutant-general, major-general, and
the commander of the second brigade. Yon
have committed a serious breech of illMp'ine
and my sdvice to you is to get back to Pitts
burg as soon as possible or yon may be mus
tered out of service. I am surprised that you
should attempt ?uch an act without any au
thority whatever."
this bexmed to nmi the matter,
and the battery started back to Pittsburg. In
justice to Lieut Sheppard it might be stated
that he was told that an order was issued by
the governor. Gen. Hastings stated afterward
that the sending down of the soldiers wm like
the waving a red flag, and would only tend to
create trouble. He said evervthing was quiet
here, and it wma an insult to the citizens of
Johnstown to send soldiers here at present.
The Washington infantry came in over the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, and when Captain
Shannon reported to Adjutant-General Has
tings that gentleman said that there was no
need for soldiers' aid. If any were needed he
would order out the state guard. He said he
had nothing to do with the independent organ
izations, consequently he would not advise
them further than to say there was no need of
any soldiers.
a train load of provisions.
A train of five cars came in from Cumber
land, 51d., this morning, loaded with pro
visions and thirty men to help clean up tho
debris. The general undertaking rooms are at
work, and about sutv coffins containing bodies
of unknown people are piled up on the station
and platform. Quite a pathetic sight was seen
this morning on the bridge. Up till to-<lay
Gtn. Hastings had his headquarters on the
east side of the river, but this morning he
came over to the burning debris, followed by
about 125 men, carrying coffins. He started to
work immediately and has ordered men from
Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and all eastern towns
to do laboring work. The stealing by Hun
garians at Cambria City and points along the
railroad has almost ceased. The report of
several lynchings, and the drowning of two
Italians while bt ing pursued by citizens yes
terday, pat a damper on soulless pilfering for a
time.
prominent citizens dead.
Some of the most prominent citizens of this
city and of the state are among those who have
perished. John Fulton, president of the Con
stitutional Amendment association and general
manager of the Cambria ironworks is drowned,
with his wife and children. H. J. Koberts,
cashier of the First National bank, and John
Dibert. a banker, were also drowned, the
former's son perishing with him. The wife and
daughter Minnie of Cyrus Elder, one of the
greatest authorities on the tariff in the country
are dead. H. A. Schoemaker, prothouotary
of Cambria county; h. J. Rose, district at
torney; Dr. John Lowman, the wife and eight
children of Chief of Police Harris, and tlfe wifo
and three children of T. YV. Kirkland, a well
known jeweler, are dead. C. T. Schubert,
editor of the Frtut Frtste, is also believed to be
drowned.
another heroine.
Mrs. Ogle, the manageress of the Western
Union, who died at her post, will go down in
history as a heroine of the highest order. Not
withstanding the repeated notifications which
she received to get out of the reach of the ap
proaching danger, she stood by the instrument
I with unflinching loyalty and undaunted cour
j age, sending words of warning to those in dan
ger in the valley below. When every station
in tho path of the coming torrent had been
warned she wired her companion at South Fork,
"This is my last message, ' and as such it shall
always be remembered as her last words on
earth, for at that very moment the torrent en
gulfed her and bore her from her post on earth
to her post of honor in the great beyond.
the most A WTO. destruction
in a single house occurred at the Hurlbut hotel.
There were 57 people in the house when the
torrent came down, and of these only 10 are
| living. Four travelers, who were staving at
the Hurlbut, went to the fourth floor when the
flood came, and after wishing each other "good
I bye" surrendered themselves to fate. Fate

John Little, of Sewickly; W. J. Cox. of Phila

] John Dorsev, of Philadelphia. The register of
, the wrecked hotel cannot be found, so it is im
I possible to give the names of all those who

j known to have perished are Elmer Brinker and
; Dr. Brinker, two brothers, two Mrs. Richards,
| a man named Butler, Mrs., Miss Hnd Lewis

a crrr or the dead.
7:30 a.m.?Nineveh is literally a city of the
dead. The entire place is filled with corpses.
I At the depot eighty-seven coffins were piled up
; and boxed. On the streets coffin boxes covered
the sidewalks. In the improvised undertaking
shops Sampson & Devoreh have embalmed and
placed in their shrouds 193 persons. At everv
j place there were dead strewn around as thick
i as flowers in a conservatory. Most of the
bodies embalmed last night had been taken out
' of the river in the morning by the people at
Nineveli, who worked incessantly night and
day searching the river. The bodies, when
found, were placed in a four-horse wagon, fre
quently twelve at a time, and driven up to
Robert Kerr's and Graham's shop by Harvey
Morehead. Of the bodies taken out near Nine
veh tully three-fourths are women and the rest
children. But few men are found there. In
one row at the planing-mill to-day were eighteen
children's bodies awaiting embalming. Next to
them was a woman whose head had been
crushed in so as to destroy her features. On
her hand were three diamond rings.
THE DEATH LIST MOCNTINO CP ATFALLINGLT.
The cry is now for more coffins, as the death
list is mounting up appallingly. Members of
the state board of health arrived in Nineveh
this morning and determined to proceed at
once to dredge the river to clean it of the dead
and prevent the spreading of disease. To this
end they have wired the state department to
furnish them with the proper appliances. They
will take charge of the town to-day.

AH INCORRECT RUMOR.
The rumor about the death of CoL John H.
Linton and family is incorrect. On the south
side of the town, where rescuers are at work,
are between 500 and 600 bodies. A number of
Srominent people whose names are found in
le list of dead were taken out of the debris on
the street near the club house. The bo-lies are
lying among the mass of wrecked buildings as
thick as flies.

THE ATTE1HTS OF THIEVES.
Saturday would have been pay dav at the
Cambria iron works. Tho money??10.000?
was drawn from the bank on Friday and was
placed in the vaults of the couipaiiv's ortice.
It is still there, and is a constant temptation to
the many profession il and amateur thieves
who are on the ground.
On Saturday night an attempt was made to
rob the First National bank, all of *hich. ex
cept the vaults, had been destroyed. The
thieves were discovered by the citizens' patrol,
and a lively chase ensued." Six of *ie scoundrels
were shot, but it is not known whether anv
were killed or not. as their bodies would have
been washed away immediately if such had
been the case.
The natural gas has been shut off, and no
fire is allowed in the town.
Bishop Phelan and Fathers Corcoran and

STORY OK AN KYE WITNESS.
Exciting Experiences of a Baltimore
Drummer oil a Train.
Baltimore, Md.. June 3.?C. W. Linthcum,
a drummer for a Baltimore firm, arrived here
this morning. He was witness to the
disastrous flood at Johnstown, of which
he tells the following story: My train left
Pittsburg at 1 o'clock "for " Johnstown.
The train was due at Sang Hollow at 4:0;!. but
but was five minute* late. At .-ang Hollow,
just as we were about to pull out of the station,
we heard the tlood wus coming. Looking ahe<ad
up the valley we saw an immense wall ot water
at least thirty feet high raging, roaring,
rushing toward us. The engineer reversed his
engine and rushed back toward the hills at lull
speed, and we barely escaped the rush of
waters. We rau back L;00 yards and the flood
swept by, tearing up tracks, telegraph j?oles.
houses, aud trees. Superintendent Pitcair
was on the train. All got out and tried to save
the floating people. Taking the bell cord off
the train we formed a line and threw the rope
out, saving seven persons. We could have
saved more, but many were afraid to let go the
lloating debris.
IT WAS AS AWFCL 6IOHT.
The immense volume of water was roaring
along, whirling over huge rocks, dashing
against the banks and leaping high into the air,
aud this seething flood was strewn with grinding
and crushing timbers, trunks of trees, parts of
houses and hundreds of human beings, cattle,
dogs, catB and almost every living animal. The
fearful peril of the living wss not more awtul
than the ghastly horror of hundreds of dis
torted bleeding corpses whirling along the
avalanche of death. We counted 107 persons
alive floating by on pieces of timber, and
dead without number. A section of roof came
by upon which were sitting a woman and young
girl. A man named C. W. Heppeustall. of
Pittsburg, waded and swam out to the
? oof. He brought the girl in first
a*d then the woman. They
told us they were not relatives.
Tn. woman had lost her husband and four
children and the girl her father, mother, and
entire family. A little bov came by with his
mother. Both were as calm as could be, and
the boy was apparently trving to comfort his
mother. They passed, unheeding our profered
help. and. striking the bridge below,
west dows nrro the toetex like lead.
One beautiful girl came by with her hands
raised in prayer, and although we shouted
to her and ran along the bank she paid
no attention to ns. We conld have
saved her If she had caught the
rope. An old Irishman and his
wife whom w? saved said that eleven
started from Cambria City on the roof, but all
the others had dropped "off. About 8 p.m. we
started back to New Florence. All along the
river we saw canght in the branches of innum
erable trees and wedged in oorners in the banks
corpses. without number. A large syca
more tree In the river between
Sang Hollow and New Florence
seemed to draw into it nearly all who floated
down, and they went under the surface at its
roots like lead. When the waters subsided 209
bodies ware found at the roou of this tre*. All
nifht living and dr?d floated by New Florence.
A' Pittsburg 7S bodies were recovered on Sat
urdsy. and u m-.BT now were seen floating by.
Hundred* at people from ill-fated Johnstown
are wandering homeless and starring on the

A RELIEF TRAIN.
Contribution* of Supplies Received fro IB
Towui ail Alone the Route.
Job**tow*, Pa.. June 3.?The relief train
from P.tuburg over the Baltimore and Ohio
road reached here at 2 o'clock this morning
. after an exciting ride np the mountain.
All along the road at each town contribu
tions were tnaue to the already well-filled cart
of provisions. McKeesport added two to tha
three laden from Pittsburg; two more were
added at Braddock; three at West Newton, and
so on all the way to Johnstown until, when the
Utter was reached, the train bad ten loaded
car*.
When Johnston wax reached every one was
anxious to get to work to assist in the work of
rescue. A party was made np and started for
the lower part of the town. The path
was covered with tree*, rocks, fences,
parts of honses and every imaginable
thing. Bureaus, beds, sideboards and
furniture of all kinds were strewn from
I hill to hill. The whole valley of Stony creek
for miles up from Johnstown is filled w'lth de
, bris of all kinds. The line of tha Baltimore
j and Ohio has been cleared of debris aud it is
pil?d up on each side as high as the top of the
our*, when the lower part of the town waa
reached the scene presented waa beyond da
; scription.
ll.ilf Icm not been told, nor never will be. as
to tlie extent of the awful wreck. From the
Pennsylvania railroad to Main street there ia
not luii,: standing but the stone church
i hnd the large brick school-house. Tha
Mansion house is gone and over
one hundred ]>eople were lost there.
From the Pa tunore and Outo depot
you onn see for blocks in every direction, aud
between the d< pot and the poiut there is
standing only a part of the Mosrell block and
two small brick o*ticee thtt were protected by
the Morrell building. The town was at rest
early iu the uiorn.ug.
EVERT ONE WAS THOR0C0HLT EXHAUSTED
with the terrible strain and the work of the
last two days and night*. The town is under
nihrti.il law and every one who goes about the
]?lacc is challenged and required to give an
account of himself. Tho water has sub
sided to a trreat extent, aud the streets
; in the main part of the towu ara
i tree from water. The falling water has laid
bare the terrible work of the flood, and the full
extent of the disaster is only being ascertained
now. Tho streets are one sickening, foul
stnelling mae of wood and debris, and the
work of searching for bodies has only fairly
begun.
The latest estimates put the loss of life at
from HUH") to 12.000. It is impossible to get
any account of the number lost. Every one m
so thoroughly tired out and overcome by the
weight of the disaster as to be utterly unable
to give any accurate d- tails or figures.
k CONDrCToB'S STOKT.
Frank McDonald. ? conductor on the Somer
set branch of the Baltimore and Ohio waa
at tho Pennsylvania railroad depot when
' tho flood caiuu. lie said when ho first
saw the flood it was 30 feet high
Mid gradually rose to at least 40 feet.
There is no doubt that the South Fork dam
broke," said Mr. .Vld'onald. "Fifteen minute*
before the dood came. The. i>ecker, the
l'enusylvauia railroad agent, read me a tele
gram he had Just received, saying the South
Fork hud broken. As soon as he heard
I this the people in the station, number
ing 000, made a rush for tha bilL
I certainly think I saw 1.000 bodies go over the
bridge. The first house that came down struck
the bridge and at once took fire, and as fast as
the otlu rs came down they were consumed. I
believe I am safe in saving I saw a thousand
bodies burn. It reminded me of a lot uf flies
on fly pi.per struggling to get away, with uo
h<>pe and no chance to save th< m. 1 have no
idea that had the bridge been blown up the
loss of life would have been any less. They
would have floated a little further with
the same certain death. Then, again, it was iui
: possible for i.ny one to have reached the
bridge iu order to blow it np. for the waters
came so fast tnat tio one could have done it.
I saw 15 to 18 bodies go over the bridge at the
same time. I offered a man e'20 to row me
across the river, but could get no one to go."
