Aczaxy, N.Y., July 10.—A special to the Union trom Johnstown, N. Y., says: Fifteen persons were carried down the Cayudetta creek last night, Four bodies were recovered this morni Heavy rains last night choked streams and asi districts, Schriever’s large mill in this place was carried —_ Twenty perscns were on the Ferry Street bridge when the arch fell into the rushing torrent, which was filled with wrecl and humanity. Cries for help alarmed the residents, Chief McDonald with President N of the lage. Justice Anderson ans ganized a searching expedition. OF THE MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN who were thrown into the water by the break- ing of the stone bridge the larger number was saved by means of ropes thrown to them from Tits resciieg, the Ske Sipistenies; tilled 0 morning the le mnt, un 8 direction of Chief H. A. Thom; is in the search for more water is still very rough and dangerous for boats, The final and fatal rise in the Ca: very sudden, and is attributed to the effects of acloud burst. Besides the sweeping away of the bridges and the tanneries there is much damage to buildings which are left standing. The clactcle light plant was washed out and the town left in darkness for the night. All com- munication by wire is cut off, save through the long-distance telephone over which this mes- — is sent. terns were procured and parties went along the stream with ro to assist in the rescue. One person was splashing and plung- ing in the water near the Johnstown, Fonda and Gloversville railroad bridge, one quarter of @ mile down the stream, as he floated past those on the shore he cried: “For God's sake help me.” He was swept by in the cur- rent so close to the shore that a man who was in a boat secured to a pile of wreckage got hold of him, but owing to the swift current was unable to hold him, and he was swept under the floating drift wood. Two other persons came down a moment later cling- ing toaplank and shouting for help. The Taide swept out of sight below the railroa ridge. At 4a.m. the body of Burt Speedwell, fifteen years of age, was recovered from the debris at this place. An hour later Albert Sokley was ailed out from under the driftwood that had — buck of Evans’ milis. Soon after the body of a man named Treadwell was found in the same place. At9a.m. the body of Chas, Frear, fifty-five years of age, a cnrpenter, was uncovered from under the wreck at Evans’ mills, The bodies are badly bruised. They were removed to police headquarters, where they will remain PENDING A CORONER'S INQUEST. Citizens are engaged this morning in remov- ing the wreckage of Schrever’s mill, near the depot, where they think other bodies have been lodged. It is believed that the two men who went down on a plank lost their lives at the dam, and that their bodies were carried down the stream and are now floating in the Mohawk river. No one knows how many Foxe were drowned or who is missing. The was 50 great and the current so swift that no help could be rendered without great danger. ‘The State street iron bridge and the railroad bridge were bothsweptaway. They were pate structures. Yesterday afternoon during the heaviest part of the storm Main and Bleecker streets, in Gloversville, were flooded with water, The new pavement io Bleecker street was torn up for several blocks. A number of resi- dences in the upper part of the town are ENTIRELY SURROUNDED BY WATER, The foundation walls of a new store building being constructed on North Main street, Glov- eraville, were partly carried away. The two iron br s on the Central and the Fonda, Johnstown and Gloversville railroad at Fonda are gone. The precuniary loss will not be so very great, railroad and State-street bridges in Johnstown were e first-class structures, ‘The ferry-street e consisted of an arch epanning the entire ofthe stream. It was upon one of the plank walks that the people were standing when the arch was carried away. Schreiver's large mill is entirely wrecked and will entail a joss of about $10,000, ‘There are several small buildings in the vil- lage which are partially ruined, their founda- tions being undermined. Many of the bridges on country roads along the valley are gone, and some fields of grain are partially covered with water. 4 The loss to property at Gloversville will a ably be covered by £3,000. It is quitely likely that including the loss of the bridges in the Mohawk valley, at Fonda, $20,000 will cover the damage wrought by yesterday's storm. DISTRIBUTING THE MONEY.

Symons’ recommendation relative to e obstruction of the streets recently cleared away by the high water in the Potomac. It will be remembered that he recommended that the police take measures to prohibit the re- occupation of 27th street. An order to this effect was issued, An inspection of the records, howeVer, disclosed the fact that the street in question was not in existence in that locality, but that the land was private property, and the order was withdrawn, sub: foot to an opinion from the attorney, to whom matter was re- ferred. Attorney Davis had the matter in and has rendered the fol! opinion relative thereto: ‘We have unifo ly main- tained that 27th street should be regarded asa street actual or gion to the southernmost if Lstepe bo it would reach jly we have never recog- of private ownership of or that beg ef west of the that street, District should ‘MISCELLANEOUS. ‘The Commissioners have requested the Wash- keep the space in Commissioners have received a letter Mr. B.

COMMISSIONER TANNER, What He Says of the Stories as to His Intention to Resign. Aconference was held yesterday by Secre- tary Noble, Assistant Secretary Bussey, and the commissioner of pensions relative to the administration of the pension office, It was reported that there had been a serious disagreement between the Secretary and the commissioner and that the resignation of the latter was possible. Secretary Noble was at the cabinet meeting to-day. But a Stam re- porter had interviews with Gen. Bussey and Commissioner Tanner. WHAT GEN, BUSSEY SAYS, Gen. Bussey did not say that there had not been a serious disagreement between the Beo- retary and the commissioner of pensions.in yesterday's conference, He did say, however, that in the administration of such a large department as that of the Interior action was taken at times that was not entirely satisfactory to the head of the department. He also said that in the con- ference with Mr. Tanner yesterday the subject of his resignation was not mentioned. He was not aware that Mr. Tanner's resignation had been requested, as was rumored. CORPORAL TANNER LAUGHR. Commissioner of Pensions Tanner laughed to-day when a reference was made by a Star reporter to the published accounts of his inter- view yesterday with Secretary Noble and As- ant Secretary Bussey. Yesterday afternoon,” said the commis- sioner, “‘I tel wane over to the department and inquired if the Secretary could see me if I came over about 3 o'clock. The reply was in the aftirmative, and at 3 o’clock I entered the door of the Interior department. On my way to the Secretary’s room I ecuped. in to see Gen. Bussey and told him that I had wo fap | I wanted to say to’ both himself an the Secretary, and as it was hot weather Idid not want to goover it twice. Iasked him if he would not go with me to the Secre- He came along and we had our talk, and I got back to the pension office a little after 4 o'clock. That was the three hours’ interview which was reported to have taken place.” CAN STILL LIVE TOGETHER. Corporal Tanner only smiled when he was told that it was reported that his resignation had been called for. He said that some people were evidently after him and he did not @ro- pose to begin to contradict everything that was snid. ‘Of course,” he said, “all men do not think alike and opinions differ.” “You can still live — then?” asked the reporter, referring to the reported unpleasant- ness between the Secretary and the commis- sioner. “Oh, yes,” was the reply. HE SAVED THE CORPORAL’S LIFE, Mr. Tanner said that there was one thing that the Secretary had done which his wife thought had saved his (Tanner's) life. The Secretary had issued an order in regard to maki cases special. ‘“Senatorsand representatives, said the Commissioner, ‘‘come here and make these requests, and how can amere Commis- sioner refuse them? But nowI can pull the Secretary's order on them,” TWO WORKMEN BADLY INJURED. They Fall With a Wrecked Scaffold and One or Both May Die. A scaffold gave way yesterday afternoon, and it is possible that two men may die from the injuries consequent upon their falling more than 30 fect in company with a large quantity of stone. The accident ocurred on Q street, between 17th and 18th streets, where Mr. T. F. Schneider is building a number of houses, Four men—John Colbert, foreman; Hugh Fer- guson, Philip Erbt, and Jas, Cody—were on the scaffold engaged in the construction of one of the front walls. At one end of the heavily- Jaden scaffold stood Ferguson and Erbt; in the center was the ge of stone, and on the other end were Colbert and Cody. Foreman Colbert was the first to see that the scaffold was giving way, and he at once shouted a warning to the others to save themselves, and at same time taking a sure hold upon a solid piece of timber which was not connected with the fall- ing structure. Cody jumped to the groundand escaped with a few bruises, but Erbt and Fer- guson, beneath whose feet the scaffold com- menced to give way, WENT DOWN WITH THE WRECK. Erbt struck the ground in such a manner as to break both of his arms and to tear the fiesh off his left wrist, where the bones suffered a severe fracture, One of his ribs was broken — ae cae ? internally.

Before Chief Justice Bingham this morning General Gibson, commanding the third U.8. artillery, produced Leeds Miller, a soldier of light battery C, under the writ of habeas issued on Monday last. The petition is fled by Hosea B. Moulton, as guardian of Miller, and represents that at the time ef Miller's enlist- ment in San Francisco he was but nineteen and one-fourth years old, and his mother (his only parent) did not give her consent thereto. It is claimed that being a minor his enlistment is void and he should be discharged. Mr. Rogers appeared for the petitioner and General Gib- son in proper person. The latter made return by producing the papers showing the regularity of the enlistment, and that the petitioner is now a prisoner under sentence of court-martial for absence without leave, having been com victed on the 9th instant, The counsel said that this conviction was after the service of the writ on the 8th instant, | and read from the opinion of Justice H in the Dalruskie case, some few years that a minor cannot be legally eulisted without the consentof his parents or guardian, and that desertion (not absence without leave,under which he may be sentenced), is not criminal. The chief justice called for proof as to age, the enlistment papers placing the youth's age at twenty-one years at the date of his enlistment. The idavit of the titioner was read. This the chief justice did not deem sufficient roof as an hearing was postponed A Suit for $10,000 Damages. Charles A. Walter to-day, by Mr. Thomas M. Field, entered suit against J.
