TOWN RECOVERING.
ol ) el A e
mproved Prospects for the
People of the Flooded City.
usiness Resumed, and the Work
of Restoration Progressing.
Johnstown, Penn., is steadily recovering
m the effects of the terrible flood. The
estimate of the loss of life has been reduced
to between 3000 and 4000. The amount of
money subscribed throughout the country
or the flood sufferers isover $3,000,000. A
ecent dls&mtqh from Johnstown gives the
ollowing details concerning the resumption
of business and the work of restoration and
relief:
The first real work under the supervision
of the State commenced this morning at 6
o'clock. The whistle at the Cambria Iron
and Steel Works was the signal for the men
to commence, and about fifteen hundred start
ed in with their picks and shovels. The ear
ly morning was warm and cloudy. As the
morning advanced the weather grew warm
er, and by 10 o'clock the sun was shining
brightly and every one on the ground was
hard at work. During the morning a crowd
of men in some manner secured an entrance
to the town and wanted to inaugurate a
strike among the workmen. James Mec-
Knight, of Pittsburg, of the State contract
ors, went to General Hastings, who is in full
charge at Johnstown, and demanded protec
tion for the men. A detatchment of mili
tia from the Fourteenth Regiment were de
tailed to the place and they drove away all
the men who refused to work. This caused
General Hastiggs to issne an order to the sol
diers not to admit any one to Johnstown
pr%fier without an order.
e business men of the town seemed to
have awakened to their senses, and this
morning a number of them were preparing
to start over again inbusiness. Two grocery
stores were started near the Pennsylvania
railroad freight station. Both places were
doing a land office business and this encour
aged other merchants to start up, and the
probabilities are that inside of a week at lat
est 100 stores will be in operation. Already
two barber’s shops and one jewelry store
thave been opened.
General lfistings said : ““ As yet I do not
fmow how many men are at work, but I sup
pose there must be 1500 at the least calcula
tion. Weintend to put as many men to work
ms can be worked properly. I donot sugepose
we want more than 5000, and it will be an
easy matter to get that many men. Ido not
want to employ any one but Pennsylvania
men, and would like to get as many Johns
town people at work as possible. They are
the ones &at need the work. A false impres
sion has broken out to the cffect that the
boroughs here are under martial or mlitary
law., This is a mistake. The State has
charge of the work, and the only thing the
military is doing is guarding the property.
We will clear away all the debris on tue
streets and level the town off. I do not know
yet whether we will clean out the cellars of
the houses, but if I had my own way I would
doit. Itisas little as the State can do to
clean out the places and give the people clean
foundation to build on. Beside, there is not
the least doubt that there are a number of
bodies in these cellars and they should be
taken out.”
General Hastings has now gotten every
thing down to a system. There will be but
one morgue and hospital and one headquar
ters. Everything has now been centralized,
and it is easy to get at the facts.
Captain Seers, of the United States Army,
one of the Corps of Engineers at Willet's
Point, and Captain Burbank, of the West
Point Engineering Corps, have laid out the
different boroughs in five districts, and com
petent men have been appointed to take
charge of each district. Captain Seers, inan
interview, said: “I am only here to advise
General Hastings and do what I can to help
him. I think that inside of two weeks the
three or four thousand men that will be at
work will succeed in {)uttin g the town in very
§ood condition, and 1 think inside of a month
ohnstown will have almost recoverad from
this terrible shock.”
The general opinion among well-posted
people here is that the loss of life will be be
tween 3000 and 4000. It was generally given
out that Johnstown and boroughs adjoining
had a population of 35,000 people, but this is
a very high estimate, and conservative peo
ple put the population between 25,000 and
28,000. Colonel Rogers, who has charge of
the registration, states that from all he can
learn the population only amounted to about
25,000, and this accounts for 10,000 people
snggosed to be lost,
e reports sent out from hero to the ef
fect that 12,000 to 15,000 people were missing
were based upon the supposition that there
were 35,000 inhabitants in_these boroughs. _
F To-day was the second day since the mooa
that Johnstown was not deluged with rain.
The people are making heroic efforts to clean
out their houses to fit them for habitation.
Neighbors have combined to help one another
to reset houses on their foundations and to
remove the accumulations of drift and rub
bish which bar entrance to their doors. The
sewer pipes are allawry and the cellars are full
of water. There is need for engines to pump
out the water as early as possible. Syphen
ing has been tried, but with no success, as
the cellars are much lower than the ground.
The Cambria Company started out a corps
of surveyors this afternoon to locate lines of
demarcation for the rebuilding and rapair of
their demolished plant.
The first decisive step tolx]var(} putting
Johnstown's business men on their feet again
was made M&Mhen about two lmn‘i:ed
merchants who survived the flood. many
of them without a dollar, met Adjutant
General Hastings this afternoon, and were
assured that they would be re-established in
business on longom'edlt. Both Pittsburg and
Philadelphia W lesalers have offered Johns
town merchants this business courtesy upon
the suggestion 0f General Has .
The report of the Bureau of Transporia

Committee, was presented to James B. Scott
to-day. It shows that from June 4to 11, in

seventy-six were sent to Fittsburg by the
Baltimore and Ohio and 636 over the Penn
silvama; 157 were sent to Philadelphia over
the Baltimore and Ohio. The Bureau of In
formation answered 287 telegrams and sixty
eight letters, mostly inquries from anxious
friends as to the safety of Johnstowners.
The mass at the stone bridge was fired this
afternoon and to-night is burninf furiously.
With it is destroyed all hope of recovering
the bodies that are certainly there entombed.
Adjutant-General Hastings said to-night:
*‘Provisions and clothing are coming in at a
sa.tlsfactorty rate and there is no immediate
prosgect of a diminution. I have instructed
all the commissary peo;i_l‘? to be generous
in dealing out supplies, here there is any
question they will give the applicant the
benefit of thedoubt. To-day we have been
feeding a good many of the men, but every
cent of it is being charged up against
them. The soldiers are also taking
supplies from the commissary depart
ments, but this is all chaxiged to the State,
and as soon as I get to Harrisburg I will
make out a warrant for the amount in favor
of the relief fund. This morning I tele
graphed Mayor Fitler of Philadelphia for
four steain fire engines. At 11 he replied
that they were on the way with crews. I
deemed this necessary as a precautionary
measure, on account of the great mass of
debris we shall burn during the next few
daéf)‘”
vernor Beaver announced that he had
abandoned the idea of usingrSl,OOo,ooo out
of the Pennsylvania State Treasury under
the proposed indemnity-bond scheme, for
the reason that such action might establish a
bad precedent. He has decided instead to
adopt the suggestion of William H. Kemble
—that the money be loaned to_the Governor
by private corporations. The Governor
stated that he had been offered a million dol
lars by national banks of Philadelphia with
out secunt{) and without interest, the loaners
to be reimbursed by the Legislature at its
next session, and he has accepted this offer.
This money will be used to clear the streams
and place the highways in order and perform
other necessary State work.

POSTAL CLERKS KILLED.
Four Lives Lost by a Railway Acci
dent in Ohio.
The New York and St. Louis mail train
met with a disastrous accident at Cumber
iand Junction, three miles east of Steuben
ville, Ohio. Owing to imperfect connec
tions with the Pennsylvania Rail
road, the Pan-Handle section was
nearly two hours late in leav
ing Fittsburg, and had orders to make up an
hour of the %()st time between Pittsbur§ and
Columbus. Just east of Cumberland Junc
tion is a steep down grade over a sharp re
verse curve. On this the frain, consisting of
an engine, express and four mail cars,
lunged at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
}l)‘he last car was whipped from the track
like the end of a whip lash and ploughed
along the embankment on its side
for a distance of over ome hund;'ed'feet.
In leaving the track it drew with it the
two mail cars in front, and the forward car
struck a car loaded with steel rails, crushing
in the side and throwing both ecars, which
were not uncoupled, down an embankment
twenty-five feet hi§h and landing them, bot
tom up, in the ditch.
In these cars were the conductor and
brakeman and twelve postal clerks. Two of
the postal clerks were killed outright, and
nine injured. They were John G. Pa%pe, of
Indianapolis, and f;tmes Rinehart, of Effing
ham, 111. Both had their skulls erushed.
Lee Burris, of Columbus, the conductor,
had his right hip crusbed and his thigh sFlm
open from the Yxip to the knee. John Mac-
Farland, a brakeman, had his left leg com
letely severed from his body and his right
Eag crushed to a jelly. Both men were
fatally injured and died during the night.

WET BY A BIG MAJORITY.,
Prohibition Defeated in Pennsylvania
—The Poll Tax Retained.
Returns from sixty-four of the sixty-seven
counties in Pennsylvania give 164,470 ma
jority against the proposed amend
ment prohibiting the sale of liquor.
Forty-two counties (not including Allegheny)
gave 4525 majority for abolishing the poll
tax, but the rural districts voted heavily
‘against this amendraent and it is lost.
“Returns received at the Pittsburg Times
office include every county in the State, and
are as follows:
Against the Prohibition Amendment 189,710
Wby D N el DR
Majority against.......ccooieeernens 135,18
As the later returns come in i is apparent
that the Prohibition defeat is more complets
and overwhelming than wasever dreamed of.
Exact figures from fifty counties in the State
and close estimates on the other seventean
give a majority against the prohibitory
amendment of 200,057. These figures were
not likely to be materially changed.
Returns received show that the suffrage
amendment (proposing the abolition of the
fifty-cent poll tax qualification) is defeated by
a decided majority, notwithstanding the fact
that PhiladelEhia gave 92,525 majority for its
fl.(heftion. The latest estimate from all but
twelve counties was 146,996 against the poll
tax abolition.

Memrhis road was badly damaged for about
1000 feet ten miles north of Fort Scott. All
the people .in the bottom in east Fort Scott
moved out.
The upper valley of the Walnut was flooded
from excessive rains. The river came up so
suddenly that a family named Graham start
ed from their home to the highland. The
mother and babe were drowned, the father
and one child escaping. Grain fields are flood
ed, and much damage must result.
Allen County, Kansas, has suffered severe
ly from floods in the Neosko River and its
principal tributaries. The streamshave been
unusuall{ hi%h all spring, and heavy
rains rought them out of their
banks, flooding the bottoras for a mile or
more on either side. Hundreds of acres of
wheat, which was just ripening and promised
a very large yield, are almost a total loss,
while the submerged corn and other
crops will be greatly damaged. The
Bt. Louis, Wichita and Western Railroad
bridge across Kock Creek, east of lola, has
been undermined, and is only held by the iron
track from %oing down stream. Nearly
a (gmrter of a mile of track has been
washed from the bed, while the road
bed has been seriously damaged. Near the
river west of lola a large number of
small bridges and culverts along the wagon
roads have been washed out.

ARTHUR'S MONUMENT.
A Memorial Erectjtd by His Friends
Unveiled Albany.
The handsome granite and bronze monu
ment erected at the grave of the late Presi
dent Chester A. Arthur, in Rural Cemetery,
at Albany, N. Y., by some of his personal
admirers, has been officially unveiled, with
outceremony, by the donors, who inspected it.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR'S MONUMENT.
Themonument over General Arthur’s %:ive
was designed by Mr. E. Keyser, of Albany,
and the work cost $lO,OOO. A broad flight of
five granite steps leads from the path to the
turf which covers the burial plot, while
around the enclosure are granite pillars, be
tween which are suspended heavy chains of
bronze. In the centre of the plot is the
monument, a sa.rcoghag'us of dark gra.nite,
perfectly plain and highly polished. The
sarcophagus stands on two piers of lighter
colored granite, also bighlty polished. The
iers rest on a broad base o hfiram'te. and the
gase is supported by a smoothly dressed gran
ite plinth ten feet long and six feet broad.
At the foot of the sarcopha, stands a
figure representing the Anggu?)f Sorrow.
ng:figure is of bronze, and is of heroic size.
It stands with folded w(nggeleaning against
the sarcophagus, one Wm%l ing thrown out
ward by the pressure in the most animated
and picturesque manner. The left arm of
the (Pgure is extended along the sarcophagus
laying on the tomb a palm of bronze. There
is no inscription on the sa.rcoghagus, but on
the base is the word ‘“Arthur” in letters
raised in high relief, and also a tablet of
bronze sunk into the base with the inscrip
tion:
: CHESTER ALAN ARTHUR, :
: Twenty-first President of the United :
> States. .
s Born, Oct, 5, 1830. it
s Died, Nov. 18. 1886. o

Arthur’s father and mother, his wife and a
son. A fund for the erection in New York
of a statue to General Arthur has beem
raised, and the money has all been paid in.,
As yet no design has been adopted, but one:
soon will be, and the work will then be be-:
gun. The statue will doubtless bs placed in:
one of the principal %%blic squares or parks
in New York city. hen it is ready to be
unveiled, the exercises that were to have been
