Sheriff McCandless and W. 8. Brown, of Pittsburg, are on duty at the labor camp. Shortly after midnight a riot was reported at Cambria city and word was sent to Adjutant- General Hastings requesting a detachment of soldiers, He immediately ordered one of the companies of the fourteenth regiment to the place, but when they arrived there they found | that there was little or no necessity for their services, The only trouble at the place was between some drunken Italians who were mak- ing idle threats that did not amount to any- thing. i EVERYTHING QUIET. Adjt.-Gen, Hastings reports everything quiet last night and this morning, and states that From the Grand Duchess of Baden. Miss Clara Barton, president of the Red Cross, is now at Jolinstown. The following cable message, addressed to her, was received to-day from the grand duchess of Baden: “God bless your work in floods disaster.” The Late Wm. H. Bland. By the death of Mr. Wm. H. Bland at his residence, 700 E street southeast, last Sunday night, East Washington looses one of its oldest and most respected citizens, Mr. Bland was born in Virginia, in September, 1809, and con- sequently was nearly eighty years of age. His father was a well-known Episcopal minister, after whom Bland county, Va., was named, At the age of sixteen the deceased obtained an ap- prenticeship in the iron foundry of the U. 8. navy-yard in this city and became foreman in ‘ge, Where he remained continuously until short time before his last illness, with the ex- ception of four years, during the administra- tion of Jas, Buchanan, when he was removed for political reasons, During that time he was foreman of the iron foundry of Morris, Tasker & Co., Philadelphia,g then the largest iron workers in the United States. Soon after the ineuguration of Mr. Lit he was again placed in his old position and rendered valuable service to the government, running the foun day and night during the war, cating shot an: shell which were sent to our war vessels all over the country, The excellence of the ammunition ma at the Washington navy- yard has been attested to by both Federal and | confederate officers, Fifty-eight years of Mr. | Biand’s life were spent in the service of the. government, He was the oldest member in years of the old 4th street M.

Amateur photovraph- ers and sight-seersare not necessary, and we will not have them.” STILL ESTIMATING THE Lost, Some doubt has been expressed as to the es- timate that 12.000 to 15,000 people have been lost im this district. Of cours: present no way of determining with any degree of exactitude how many are dead. but the guess- ing is reasonable and conservative and based on close figuring. At least 2,509 bodies have been found. Two thousand at lowe: tion are in the ourned debris in the river, 3.000 are in unsearched sand banks around the Cambria works, down along the river and in the lower part of Johnstown. From one to two thousand are scattered in the valier from Woodville to the bridge, and a thousand or two below the bridge between Johnstown and Bolivar. Hundreds were carried to the broad rivers m the tremendous current and may never come into the hands of the living. Said Adjutant-General Hustings this morn- i “Iu my opinion the loss is greater than an now show figures.” That sturdy worker,Wm, Jones, of Braddock, thinks that ai least 10,000 to 12.000 were lost. THR NUMBER REGISTERE The statement that 18,000 persons registered at the regist: unless had day was incorrect, ings’ aides said at 10 o'clock many persons registered twice {that the list had to be re that the total was not more 13,000 and per. ape 12,090. This registration not oniy comprehends the p: lation of Johustown and adjoining towns of 333.000, but embrac farther away in the flooded region. the total population of which was at 000, includ- lng villages, straggling hamlets and farms, Chairman Hicks, of the Altoons who has been all over the district since Sw day morning says the loss is 12,500 to 14,000, and he vases it om talk with scores of all sorts of people. ‘Lae absence of former residents and of a fixed and familiar population is most striking. There are thousands of stran men from a distance here, but days the one important question was, are the people? Here are about ten thousand. Where are the re At noon to-day the boroughs of Johnstown and the adjoining boroughs, or what is left of them PRACTICALLY PASSED UNDER MARTIAL LAW. Adjutant-General Hastings says he has not declared martial law yet. Our soldiers are on guard, and no one is permitted between the lines unless they have an order from the a‘ju- tant-general. e sight-secrs are deburred al- together, and the town is inaccessible except to newspaper men and other people who have bu 8 there Every point is guarded, and soldiers patrol the dividing lines. They’are very active, and they deport themselves like old guard the approaches religiously and have or- ders to stop any one who crossed the line. It probable that the 15th regiment will be ordered out from the fact that it takes so many soldiers to cover the ground, A special guard will have to be put at Kernville, Millvale and Cambria City and other points, and alone will take a regiment of The adjutaat-general w. ordering out any tro) would naturally crea mpression that there was trouble here. The only reason for calling out the troops is to relieve the Pittsburg and aud Johnstown policemen, who have had little or no sleep for several days past. AT WILLIAMSPORT.
