In the Gieat Pennsylvania Flood.
Pittsburg. Da., June 1 -The
raging storms that have pre
vailed through I'enn., n the
past few days have resulted
in an nppaling loss of life.
The scene of the terrible dis
aster is at Johnstown Da., in
; nillb,;l n.unty, on theP.al-
timore Uiuo uauroau and
the Canoumugh river. Two
and one half miles northeast
of there is a reservoir owned
by a rich fishing club. It is

It holds more water than a
ny reservoir, natural or arti

The lake quadrupled in size
by artificial me,-ins was held
in cheek by a d.-nn from 700
to 1,000 feet long. It is 100
feet in thickness at the base
and the height is 110 feet.
The top has a breadth of ov

the past 2-t hours increased
the volume of water in all the
mount ainstseams which were
already swelled by the lesser
rains early in the week. From

New Florence, June 1. The
gray morning light does not
seem to show any hoe of a
mitigation of the awful fears
ofrhenh'ht. We are where
ive drove across the moun
tains in the darkness of the
early morning' at. New Flor
ence, 1 t miles from the seem?
of the desolation at Jonhs
ton. It has been hard night to
everybody. The weary, over
worked newspapermen who
have heeir without rest and
food since yesterday after
noon and the operators who
have handled the messages
are even now preparing for
the work of the day. There
litis been a long w rangleover
the possession of a special
traij for tlu; press between
rival morning news paper
men, and it has delayed the
work of the others w ho are
anxious to get further into
the east.
Even here so far from the
washed-out-towns the hero
is in our midst. Seven bodies
have been found on theshore
near this town, two being in
a tree, a man and woman,
where the tide had carried
them.
TALKS OF DISASTERS.
The country people are com
ing in to the news centres in
large numbers, telling-stories
of disasters along the river
banks in seluded places.
Jno. ('. Cartney, a carpenter
who lives in Johnston reached
here about 4 o'clock. He
left. Johnston at half past 4
yesterday, and says the
scene when he left was indes
cribable. The people had
been warned early in the
morning to move to the high
lands, but they did not heed
the warning, although it. was
repeated a number of times
up to 1 o'clock, when the wa
ter poured into Cinder street
several feet deep. Then the
house began rocking to and
fro, and, final'y, t he force of
the current carried buildings
.across the streets ami vacant
lots dashed them against
each other, braking them in
to fragments. These buid
ings was loaded with the poor
wretches who so shortly, be
fore had laughed at the cry of
danger.
CLINGING TO BUILDINGS.
McCartney says in some ea
ses he counted as many as 15
people clinging to buildings.
McCartneys' wife was with
hiin.. She had three sisters
who lived near her. They
saw the house in which these
j girls lived carried away, and

the coiintrv men refuse tu
travel over tuem in their
roughest vehicles. The only
hope is to get within about
three miles of Johnston by a
special train or by hamlcar.
They w ill be there by the As
