THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. f : D. C., Sd JUNE 6, 1889. A DAY OF FUNERALS More Than a Thousand Dead Buried Yesterday. THE MORGUES AGAIN FILLED. ee Clearing a Site to Rebuild Johnstown. sececnifalacenaee CAMPS FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD—A MUI- TITUDE TO BE FED—USING DISINFECTANTS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF DISEASE—AN AWFUL TOTAL OF Loss. —o— A carefnl and conservative estimate puts the oss of life in the Conemaugh valley at more than 9,000, and the loss of property, incInding the Pennsylvania railroad’s loss of 215,000,000, at $34,000,000. Many competent judges, how- ever, still maintain that between 10,000 and 15.000 people lost their lives in the flood. Yesterday was a day of funerals; more than a thousand dead were buried in Johnstown alone and yet the morgues were filied again at night, 80 rapidly were bodies being found. There was one sound above all the sounds in Johnstown. It was the crackle of the flames, which drowned the brawl of the Conemaugh and drowned the rush of the rain. In all the streets fires burn and mountains of debris blaze in the places that were streets—the sandy waste that looks if it were virgin soil, and yet is the site where a week agostood the city’s proudest homes and finest shops, They are beneticent flames, however. These long-headed, strong-handed, big-hearted Pitteburg contract- ors with 5,000 men are bound to have a town site cleared, so that Johnstown may be rebuilt, it there be means and courage in the Johns- towners, before the snow flies, The fires are | Were sitting on the front porch watching the all kindled in the debris, which they hourly haul out in tons and reduce to ashes. After they clear and burn they lay out the lots to grade. The lot-owner may then rebuild it he is alive with money or credit. CAMPS FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. There are two camps on the hillside to the north of Jobnstown, and they are :Imost side by side. One is a camp for the living, for the most woe-begone and unfortunate of the refu- gees irom the Conemangh valley of the shadow | of death, sud the other is for the dead. ‘The | camp of living is Camp Hastings, and the | ministering spirits are members of the Ameri- | water, We started down stairs and out through any animal matter, outside of human bodies, is | uncovered, wood and debris is built around it and seton tire, Thus a great deal of the de- cayed matter is gotten rid of. here were seven physicians of Johnstown lost, and the big corps of relief physicians who have come in are doing good work. “My division alone,” said a doctor, ‘has over 500 outdoor patients in tents and improvised buildings. Now that the excitement is wearing away the people are becoming ill. Thore are at least 1.000 cases of pneumonia in town and on the hills, I have been busy all day pre- scribing pneumonia medicine. On our inspec- tion trip I found much measles in prospect, while at Minersville there is sypheid, though Many cases occurred before the flood. Still, many more have developed since. At Cambria there is much sickness, and, also, a great deal of pneumonia, There was great loss of life there, Where Woodvale formerly stood we now have a hospital eamp.” “Do I fear an epidemic? No. The weather is cold, aud we are taking great sani- precautions in regard to the dead and de- composing bodies. Everything uncovered is | limed and purified. The order to bury bodies | will not keep them ont long. The greatest number of bodies is in the water at the bridge, They are kept cool by the water, Sheriff Alex. ss, of Pittsburg, who is here 5 | atton, agent of the Baltimore and Ohio, started a corps of men along the Baltimore and Chio rai gree up toward Smithtown to clear out all the bodies of animals, Much danger was thus removed. Miss Speck’s Yerrible Experience. A Chambersburg special to. the Philadelphia Press says: Miss Nina Speck, daughter of Rev. David Speck, pastor of the First United Breth- ren church of Chambersburg, was in Johnstown | visiting her brother last week and narrowly escaped death in the flood, She arrived here to-day clad in nondescript clothing, which had been furnished by an old colored washerwoman, and told the following story of the flood: “Our honse was in Kernsville, a part of Joknstown, through which Stony’ creek ran. Although we were a square from the creck, the backwater from the stream had flooded’ the streets in the morning and was up to our front porch, At 4 o'clock’ on Friday afternoon we flood, when we heard a roar as of a tornado or mighty conflagration “We rushed upstairs and got out upon the bay window. There an awiul sight met our Down the Conemaugh valley was_ad- ing a mighty wall of flame and mist with a ible roar. ‘Before it were rolling houses and buildings of all kinds, rolling over and over. We thought it was a cyclone, the roar sounding lke a tempest among forest trees. At first we could see no water atail, but back of the mist and flames came a mighty wall of the rear of the house to escape to the hillside near by, but before we could get there the cus Kepublican club, of Pittsburg.

In one of them are thirty or forty people rendered home- less by the flood. These are ail supplied with food from the 1 . Some idea of the num- ber of people who have to be fed can be gath- ered from the fact that 350 pounds of coffee have been given out since yesterday. In the | hills back of Cambria there are many hundreds of survivors. Findley, of the Altoona went there and found that they | out a physician. One from Baltimore nere. but had gone away.

Dr. Benjamin Lee, secretary of state board of health, bas taken hold with a grip upon the handle. When be surveyed the ground he found that there were no disinfectants in town, and no uteusils in which to distribute them had there been any disinfectants, so he sent a squad across the ri*2: to the supply train, below the viaduct, and a41 .i! the copperas and chloride ot lime tobe caccts1 across the bridges in buckets. He sent another squad hunting the ruins for utensils, and in the wreck of a gen- eral store on Main street they discovered pails, sprinkling p»ts and kettles. The copperas and chloride were promptiy set heating in the ket- tles over the streets, and in a short time a «quad Was out sprinkling the debris which chokes Main stree: almost to the house tops for three | squares, The reason of this was that a brief inspection had satisfied Dr. Lee that under the wreckage were piled the bodies of scores of dead horses, Me other men were at work collecting the bodies of other dead horses, which were | hauled to the fire and with the aid of rosin burned to the number of sixty. Dr. RK. Lowrie Sibbett, of Carlisle, was made medical inspector, and sent up through the bo- |} Tough up the river. | A house-to-house inspee- tion will be made of the remaining and inhabi- ted portion of the cities and boroughs. ‘The | overcrowding makes this necessary. | “It will tuke weeks of unremitting labor and thousands of men,” said Dr. Lee, tor move the sources of danger to the publ: which new exist. ‘The principal di people living here is, of course, from the fam nati flesh. ith er to con- ‘They have an excelled: a the hiils, but there is a very gra health of all the People w jeghany river asa water supply. debris above the Viad: bis fa composing animal mat Tipple of water that passes through or | under it carries the germs of possible discase with it.” ie MARCHED OUT OF CAMP. could not satisfactorily explain their business here, hada military escort to the city limits, where they were ordered uot to return.

If you don’t no man can answer for your safety, ORDERS TO BURY THE DEAD, The orders were issued that after to-day no Unclaimed bodies would be permitted to re- main out of ground. So there was a rush to the morgues and the undertakers by bereaved relatives to see if they could identify those un- buried, or in the hope of seeing or hearing something of their loved ones yet buried in the debris. One of the chief undertakers told piti fui stories of the morgue. In fact, one has only to go there to have his nerves so shaken unstrung as tobe unfit for anything else. “Look at my hands!” said the funeral director, “They are nearly eaten up with the embalming fluid. I have used gloves, but still they do not do me any good. We embalm as many as we ean, take the money or trinkets from their bodies, number and lay them awa; Among those I laid away to-day was the body of a beautiful girl. She was beautiful even in death. She had long black hair almost to her feet. I twisted and fixed it up in various forms and finally coiled it loosely down her side, ‘Un- known’ was written on her coffin, although we found a gold watch and some trinkets on her body.

Astaff correspondent of the Philadelphia Press sends the following from Johnstown: ‘The loss of i maugh, Kernville, Cai ville.

The loss in the smaller towns named is obtained from leading men in each, who have ina measure got their heads again and are able to think with some coolness, In detail the loss falls as follows: Mineral Point—Lives lost, 16; property, $100.000.

Correspondence of Tur Evexrxa Stan. Freperick, Mp., June 5. That portion of Frederick county lyiug in the valleys of the Monocacy and Potomac rivers has passed through the ordeal of a flood since Friday last that will never be forgotten by the people who have suffered loss, nor by those who have viewed from a distance the scene of disaster and desolation wrought by the rushing waters, The incessant rain of the early part of the week was construed by all who are familiar with the nature of the mountain streams and rivers in this section to mean merely the prelude to a flood. Ample time was given the people, therefore, and taking ad- vantage of this every life was saved, Several reports were sent out of persons drowned and washed away, but npon investigation they prove to have been incorrect. Hundreds of cattle, fowls, pigs, and farm stock were swept away and drowned, but the people were able to seek places of satety among the highlends, sharing the homes ot their neighbors, occupying the churches and school-houses, and taking advant- age of every plice of reiuge. Now that the waters of the swollen streams have subsided, and the Monccacy and Potomac are flowing once more in their natural beds, those who have lost all they owned are gazing with still less hope and heart upon the marks of devas- tation left in the wake of the receding flood, AT FREDERICK. Frederick fortunately escaped any great dam- age by the high water. Carroll creek, which flows directiy through the heart of the city, and has, in previous years, been the channel through which has been carried the back water cf the mountain streams, spreading tiem through the streets of the city to the second stories of the houses, as was the oase on Au- gust 2, 1885, was able this time to mect the pressure brought to bear upon it, and to carry off the water to the meadow lands east of the ity. At 11:30 o'clock Friday night the rain, which had been falling steadily since early in the evening, increased to a torrent, and an alarm was given by the ringing of the bells of the city tire-engine houses and the blowing of steam whistles, People were aroused by the alarm, and eagerly thronged the streets. Those residing near the ereek moved out their goods and sought positions of safety. But the only | damage that had been wrought in the city was the flooding of cellars, the weakening of foun- | dation walls and the washing ont of gardens, The worst had been reserved tor other sections of the county. IN THE MONOCACY VALLEY. The beautiful valley of the Monocacy, from its source among the mountains to its junetion with the Potomac, was almost devastated. Tho river was higher than ever known before, the back water extended across the Baltimore pike, | east of the city, and wheat and corn fields that is the only positive cure, For three years I was almost crippled with an awful sore leg from my knee down to my ankle; the skin was entirely gone and the flesh was one mass of disease, Some physicians pronounced {vincurable. Ithad diminished about one-third tho size of the other, and I was in a hopeless con- dition, After trying all kinds of remedies and spending hundreds of dollars, from which I got 20 relief whatever, I was persuaded to try your CUTI- CURA REMEDIES, and the result was as follows: After three days 1 noticed a decided change for the better, and at the end of two months I was com- pletely cured. My flesh was purified, and the bone (which had been exposed for over a year) got sound.
