Jounstows, Pa., June 3. 1:10 p. m.—A small frigid, cold wave has struck the town and, the people are badly in need of clothing. The newspaper men are among the sufferers. It is almost an impos- sibility to get anything to eat. There is noth- ing to smoke and only water to drink. ‘he citizens’ committee are bear mar ate efforts to preserve peace, and the Hun- garians at Cambria City are being kept in the house by men with clubs, who will not permit them to go outside of their houses. There seems considerable race ‘ejudice at Cambria City and trouble may follow, as both the English and Hungarians are getting worked up to a considerable exteht. A NAMELESS PAUL REVERE. A nameless Paul Revere lies somewhere among the nameless dead. Who he is may never be known, but his ride will be famous in local history. Mounted on a grand big bay horse, he came riding down ane pike which 8 through Conemaugh like some angel of wrath of old shouting his portentous warning, “Run for you lives to the hills.” “Run to the hills.” The people crowded out of their houses along the thickly settled streets awe-struck and wondering. Nobody knew the man, and some thought he was a maniac, and laughed. On at a quick pace he rode and shrilly rang out his a cry. Ina few moments later. CAME A CLOUD OF RUIN down the broad streets, down the narrow al- leys, grinding, twisting, hurling, overturning, crashing. annihilating the weak and the strong. It was the charge of the flood, yee its coronet of ruin and devastation, whic! Cane at every instant of its progress, Forty cet high, some say, 30, according to others, near this sea, and it traveled with a swiftness like that which lay hidden in the heels of Mercury. ‘On and on raced the rider and on and on rushed the wave. Dozens of people took heed of the warning and ran up to the hills. Poor, faithful rider; it was an unequal contest. Just as he turned across the railroad bridge the mighty wave fell upon him and horse, rider and bridge all went out into chaos together. THE NUNS AT PRAYER. In one part of the town is located the Irish Catholic church and convent. A remarkable story is toldabout the Sisters. The mother of the convent saw the wave coming, which she Says was mountain high. She at once called all the Sisters into the chapel, Here the dozen nuns began to Pray as they never prayed before for protection from the water. When the waters struck the building it shattered the entire structure, and every room was carried away except the one where they knelt in prayer. The room is still standing, but it is liable to fall any moment. St. John’s Catholic church was not. damaged so much by water as fire. It is unknown how the fire broke out. Near the church also were found the bodies of Squire Brady, his wife and sixchildren. They were caught by the water before they had time to take to the hills, Henry Roberts, who lives in this part of the town, lost one child, two months old. A DOG’s FIDELITY. He hadin the house a Newfoundland dog which was near the child when the fatal flood struck the house. The dog seemingly realized the situation and caught the child and started to swim to land. The force of the water washed the dog and child against the school-house where they were held untii the water began to abate, and as soon as the animal could, he swam to the high- lands with the babe in his mouth and delivered the dead infant to some people who were there. What is just now going on can best be felt when it is told that a string of men 2 miles long are carrying coffins to the school house, where the hundreds of dead are lying. Three hundred bodies have just been dis- covered in the sand at Kernville, near the mouth of Sandy creek. LIVES LOST IN MARYLAND. Eight Men and One Woman Swept Away in the Flood.

Continued from Second Page, ee either end of the bridge, teams would have been permitted to pass. One horseman rode over early in the morning, but the police were on guard to prevent the vehicles from passing. It is expected that all needed repairs will be made to-day, The Eastern branch bridge at Benning is open to travel to-day. Various country bri are reported in bad condition, but travel is little impeded in this part of the District, THE RAILROADS. Washington Cut Off from Communi- cation with the West and South. Railroad communications between the city and the south and west has been cut off since Saturday. Travel to Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia, over the Pennsylvania line, was interrupted after 6 o'clock Sat- urday night by the condition of the Eastern branch which flooded the rail- road bridge just outside the city limits, the water covering the rails, submerging the tracks on the shore all the way from 165th street east to the bridge. The waters had subsided this morning so as to leave the idg and tracks clean, and trains were run as usual. To-day the Pennsylvania railroad was selling tickets to New York and to ftir Trains were running to both these points, but there Was no assurance of passengers going west or north from Harrisburg. It was thought that it would be several days before travel wi resumed regularly over all connections, The southern travel was effectually stopped by the condition of Long bridge, which cannot be put into repair for several days. Besides reports from points south indicated considerable dam- age along all the lines which would have held the trains at Alexandria even if they could have crossed the bridge. The Piedmont Air Line management expected to-day to restore connections to-night from Alexandria south- ward and to ferry passengers from this city to Alexandria, On the Baltimore and Ohio there has been no interruption of the travel to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. Except during Friday night, when, as a matter of precaution, trains were not run, as some of the bridges were threatened, the local travel on the Metro- [ears branch has suffered little interruption. one of the trains for the west have been dispatched since Friday night, and no trains have arrived, Yesterday there was 10 feet of water on the tracks in the neighborhood of Point of Rocks, but to-day the water had fallen, the tracks ‘ante Ba vey trains “go the way to San ook, posite Harper's Ferry. Mr. Alvey, the superintendent said to-day that it was expected to run the western trains through to-morrow. West of Harper's Ferry there were several breaks re- ported, and there was no travel between that point and Cumberland to-day. THE CANAL RUINED. The Damage All Along Its Length Said to be Irreparable. A serious result of the flood is the great damage done to the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which is said to be irreparable. The re- sult may be, it is feared, the complete aban- donment of the canal, as the company, in its straightened circumstances, cannot undertake the great work of placing it in repair. The dam- age done between Georgetown and the Great Falls is considerable. There are two places near Edes’ mills, on the Georgetown level, where the banks are washed away. This washout drained all the water off the level and left the boats on the bottom. The canal is broken in several other places this side of the Great Fal The reports from Weverton and other points along the canal indicate that the destruction done was greater in those regions than in the vicinity of Georgetown, Senator Gorman, in speaking of the matter, said that the oes damage done would compel the abandonment of the canal. He did not think it ossible for the directors to raise one-hun- dth per ct the money that would be re- quired restore the works, The abandon- ment of the canal would throw many men out of employment and might have a serious effect on the commerce of Georgetown. ESTIMATING THE DAMAGE. The Damage to the River Improvement Works. Col. P. C. Hains could give no estimate of the damage done to the flate. “We may,” said he toa Srar reporter, “have suffered a great deal, and then we may have escaped easily. Walker's pitch, felt and lime depot suffered to the extent of $1,000. |.

Mud soft and slimy,and at places a foot thick, covered the river front at the 7th-street wharves to-day. The water in receding had left a deposit which it was the main business y toclean up. The Inland company suf- fered no loss, At the next wharf, owned by Barber & Ross, there was comparatively no » The adjoining two wharves, owned by Geo. L. Sheriff, wood and coal,were knocked out of place. The damage amounts to about The wharf of the Mary Washington and that of the ge i Law were in good condition this morning. The wharf of the Mattano was all right, and the steamer made her trips as usual. The Alexandria 7 boats were running to- day. The manager, ©. W. Ridley, said that the wharf seemed to be right, He estimated the damage at about $1,000. ‘The Corcoran made her usual trip this morn- ing, her wharf sustaining no damage. The wharf of the Potomac steamboat company, Mr. Welch, the manager, said, was raised a little and alee extent. There was con- siderable freight on the wharf, includi 19 hogsheads of sugar, valued at $1,200. All this Property was injured, and he thought the loss would amount to,about $2,500. . ‘The freight belonged to individuals and not to the com- pany. One wharf of the Stephenson Bros. is en- tirely gone, and the other is badly injured. Both will probably have to be rebuilt. The’ have about 600 tons of coal covered with mud, and they lost about 55 cords of wood. The total loss, Mr. Stephenson thinks, will be from 2,500 to $3,000. The wharf of Rich & Co., the ice men, is all ht, The water entered the ice house and i ae Mr. Rich places his loss at John T. Given, wood and coal, suffered, no loss except from the mud, and the same may be said of E. E. Jackson & Co., lumber dealers, Wimsatt & Uhler, lumber dealers, state that their poet loss will come from rebandling their lumber, There is some damage to the mill. $1,000, it was thought, would cover it all. Both the wharves of the Independent ice company are twisted badly and will be rebuilt partially. One wharf is raised up. The dam- @ to the wharves is about $500, They lost about 500 tons of ice. The total loss they place at about $3,000. James O. Carter, commission merchant, lost from $1,500 to $2,000 in wood and lumber. The wharf of the Great Falls ice company was slightly damaged. They lost a great quantity of ice. One of the wharves owned by Thos. W. Riley was destroyed, and the two others were badly di ed. There was but little lumber lost, but about eighty-five cords of wood were lost, The total damage is about $2,500. Johnson Bros.’ wharves suffered but little damage, and there was no loss of wood, coal or lumber. Some $2,000 will cover the damage. The wharf of the Willis ice company is all right. Great damage was done to the ice house, and some 300 tons of ice lost. The damage amounts to some #1,500, AT THE WEST END. Johnson & Libbey lost 900 barrels of lime and 100 cords of wood, and the total loss, by fire and water, will be about $2,500. Edward Godey will go down into his pocket to the extent of $5,000, perhaps more. Fire also played -a pet in making up his loss. The engines and derricks are gone, and it will be two or three days before business will be resumed. The Potomac Red Sandstone company is out $5,000. A big boat-load of cut stone went down on Friday and a couple more went with the canal. The Barber Asphalt company lost one boat- of stone from the K-strect yard, and another belonging to Berlin Hinson was also swallowed up. THE DAMAGE TO THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL affects the business prospects in this neighbor- hood more than the local wreckage, and already the more weighty firms are talking of trying to repair the waterway if the Chesa- peake and Ohio company forsakes it. — ister Areas cover the loss of e ton Gaslight company. F. M. Draney has not lost anything. What looks like the biggest wreck of all is that of J. Maury Dove's premises, Practically, everything is gone, and the nearest approach to an estimate is in the neighborhood of 38.000. ford’s place looks far worse than it really is, The loss is not expected to foot up more Until the water goes down it is useless to haz- | than ard opinions as to how much money will be needed to put things right. The coffer-dam is robably uninjured, I didn’t put it down to here it swept away even by as big a freshet as this was. This is the first time our work here has ever been called upon to bear the strain of 80 serious a flood. A good deal of damage was done to the “ellipse” yesterday Ey the crowd trampling on it while it was soft. Other portions of the pub- lic reservations were destroyed in the same manner. The water on the ellipse was 10 in- ches higher this time than it was in 1881, and 3 feet 6 inches above the mark of 1877. WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT PROPERTY NOT DAMAGED, Col. John M. Wilson said that from the latest reports he was satisfied that the aqueduct prop- erty had not been damaged to any extent. The Pennsylvania avenue bridge had ® narrow escape from a runaway canal but the falling water relieved the watchers of the worry that had seized them. On Sunday morning at 4 o'clock there was 16 feet of water over the dam at Great Falls, Between 7 a. m. Sunday and 7a. m. to-day the water decreased so that there was 10 feet less of depth over the dam, Losses in the City. When dawn arrived in that section of the city south of Pennsylvania avenue it looked upon a muddy scene. Workmen were arriving in numbers and getting the lumber which had | ea: drifted from the lumber yards during the flood, All along Ohio avenue the shanties were bedecked with clothes put out to dry. while chairs, sofas, and furniture of all kinds were strewn in the front yards.

It looks like $1,000; perhaps not so much, The Losses on Eastern Branch. There are but few business interests along the shores of the Eastern branch, and those are small, consisting mostly of supply wharves, where but little stock is carried. In conse- quence partly of this fact and also that the branch conducted itself with great dignity throughout the freshet, and crept along ata snail’s pace in comparison with the river, the damage along this front was trifling. Alto- gether, not counting the navy-yard, it amount- ed to less than $10, The heaviest sufferers were THE MARKET GARDENERS on Buzzard’s Point, whose small farms were entirely submerged and the cropsruined. As it is so late in the season it will be useless for them to replant. Jas, C. Reeves was damaged to the extent of about $1,000, while Geo.

LONG BRIDGE WRECKED. A Portion of the Structure Swept Off by the Water. One of the main-channel spans of the Long bridge started on a trip down the river this morning at about 2 o'clock. For hours the scows and boat-houses and trees and miscella- neous debris bumped against the unesthetic but strong structure until the strain was too much for wood and iron to bear. There were ominous crackings for several minutes before any break was apparent, and then the span justeast of the draw settled down toward the south with almost thunderous sounds of tearing timbers and snapping metal. The southern side—the railroad divi- sion—was lowest, because on it were five coal-laden freight cars, placed there to weight the bridge down and thus make it less liable to fracture from pressure. A large gang of workmen at once commenced to cat the span clear of its fellows, and by noon had succeeded to such an extent that but little force will need to be exerted in order TO CLEAR AWAY THE WRECK. This will be done by hitching a tug ora couple of tugs on tothe disabled portion and then haul away to the south. Then the rebuild- ing will commence. The tugs had not arrived at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the current was then pressing so heavily upon the fallen portion of the bridge that it was more than probable that the wreck would clear itself. It will be at least two days before traffic with the South can be renewed unless the companies interested should decide to transfer their pas- sengers by wagon around over the Aqueduct bridge to the Four-Mile rnn. SIDEWALK AXD FENCE GONE. About 500 yards from the Washington end of the bridge the sidewalk and fence are both gone, and from that point to within a hundred yards of the bridge across the main channel the causeway is washed until nothing remains but the stones, The entrance to the main channel bridge is badly broken up. Heavy timbers have been splintered and knocked out of position. Iron braces are bent. Trees and portions of wrecked scows and vessels protrude between the woodwork and braces on the upstream side, The miracu- lous part of the affair is that the whole structure did not go. Debris of all kinds, from scraps of the Analostan boat house furniture to common firewood 1s piled up as high as the floor of the bridge, which creaks as the ebbing tide bears down on it. The bridge is barricaded at both ends anda curious crowd is doing its best to get inside the ropes to view the damage at short range. THE SUPPLY OF CUMBERLAND COAL CUT OFF. The supply of Cumberland coal for this city is cut off by the stoppage of the canal. Here- after this coal will come over the railroads, and there will be an advance in the price to meet the difference between the canal and railroad freight rates. MISSING PEOPLE. There are several persons reported missing from their homes, and their relatives have some fears that they have been drowned. A boy named Thos. Benson, has been missing from hishome, 709 G@ street southwest, since Saturday night. He went across the Long bridge with his father to attend to some business, and his father sent him home, He started toward the city and has not since been seen. This afternoon it was reported at ese headquarters that a young man named Charles Cooksey, living on N street near 3d southwest, had been missing since the 30th. It was reported that a body had been found in the Eastern branch, and Cooksey’s relatives will go and see if they tan identify it. DAMAGE AT THE NAVY-YARD. Capt. Folger, in charge at the Washington navy-yard, has reported to the Navy depart- ment that the yard can be cleared up and put in working order by Wednesday. The damage by the flood will not exceed 25,000. SAVED FROM THE WRECK, The minute books, records, constitution, and other documents of the Analostan boat club were saved by a wrecker, who found them as they were floating by in the copper box in which they are usually kept, and are in the THE JOHNSTOWN CALAMITY. It Occupies all the President’s Time and Attention. ‘The President did not receive office-seekers this morning. The only persons he saw were the Attorney-General and General Schofield. He conferred with the latter as to whet might be done for the relief of the flood sufferers. The horrible disaster at Johnstown has caused deep anxiety at the White House and occupies the President's mind to the exclusion of every- thing else. There is very little that the gor- ernment can do inthe matter, and the Presi- dent shows his feeling for the stricken people by expressions of sympathy and willingness to do all in his power. He spent nearly the whole day at the telegraph wire yesterday waiting for news and tobe on hand Bone me ae 8 come to him or if there was an opportunity for him to render assistance. ie was out of the house for only half an hour during the entire day, not going to church even. He held several conferences with Gen. Schofield during the day and last night. Last evening he held a telegraphic interview with Govornor Beaver. In response to the President's inquiries and offers of such assist- ance as was in his or, th wernor tele- hed from York’ Pa. shee “Am detained here on my way from Ammapolis, No tents or supplies can sande Schmctowe from the east at present.

Your sobcitude touch and will be gratefully appreciated b: people. Janes A. Braven.” Asa result of his interview with the Presi- dent this morning, General Schofield detailed two officers for service at the scene of the disaster. For a while it was feared that mourning would be brought directly to the executive household. For many hours Private Secretary Halford was in an agony of suspense, not knowing the fate of his wife and daughter, who Oo were passengers on express which was washed away. until this morning did he hear from his wife direct. Before going to bed last night, however, he was informed indirectly of their safety. The first dispatch conceruing their fate he received yesterday, stated that his daughter was safe but did not mention his wife. Later he beard from one of the passengers on the train that Mrs. and Miss Halford had escaped with him to the mountains when the train was washed away. It must have been a narrow escaj The dispatch states that all their baggage was lost. This morning Mr. Halford got a dis- patch from his wife telling him that she wae sera and urging him not to attempt to come The Delayed Mails. Mr. J. Lourie Bell, the superintendent of the ilway-mail service, spent yesterday im: New York. He states that the transportation of the mails is in a confused state, owing to the rail- road a throughout the country, The New York Central is clear, and last night a | Special train containing the accumulated mail for the west was dispatched. Mail from the West is being sent east in the same line, Mr, Bell states that he has received no infor- mation that mail matter has been destroyed. ctrovmones dn < Reroviar Scurprie i Errect Rerween Wasurnoton axp New Youk Via Pennsynvanta Rattroap.—The regular schedule via the Penn- sylvania railroad to Baltimore, agony New York, and intermediate points has been resumed, and trains are now running as here~ tofore on schedule time, the temporary suspen- sion being caused by the overflow of Eastern Branch bridge. = —__—»—___ GEORGETOWN.

MORGAN DEAD, This Well-Known Physician Passes Away Peacefully on Sunday. Dr. James Ethelbert Morgan died yesterday morning at his residence on E street, near 10th street, aged sixty-four years. Dr. Morgan was @ native of St. Mary's county, of the old Mary- land family of that name, and wasa graduate of Sangston college. Dr. Morgan, shortly after his graduation over forty years ago, settled in South Washington when that portion of the city was buta few hamlets united only by pathways across the commons, and it may be said he grew w with that section. He represented the ol: seventh ward several years in the council and served a number of terms on the board of school trustees, and was for some time an active member of the old board of health, In his office he had students Drs. C. V. Boarman, Ham. Leech, 8. P. Fenwick and others, who succeeded to his South Washington practice when he moved to his late residence on E street, some ten or twelve years since. He aiso has three sons in the profession. Dr. Morgan made no pretentions to that kind of charity which is seen of men, but the re- crpients and his intimate friends know that quietly he did a great deal to relieve suffering outside of his medical duties. Like Dr. Borrows the deceased took much interest in local military affairs. The doctor was greatly loved, and his death is universally regretted. The funeral services will be at Sty Patrick’s church to-morrow at 4 p.m.; interment at Mt. Olivet cemetery.
