JOHNSTOWN ANSmlLATtiD. Johnstown, Pa., June l.-The waters which overwhelmed this town yester day, carrying death to hundreds and misery to thousands, are subsiding rap idly. It is no exaggeration to say there are mourners in every family. It is impossible to describe briefly the suddenness with which the disaster came. A warning sound was heard at uonne- maugh, two miles distant, a few minutes .before the tush of water came, but it was attributed to some meteorological dis turbance, and no trouble was borrowed because of a thing unseen. The low, rumbling noise increased in volume, how ever, and came nearer. A suspicion of danger began to force itself upon even the bravest, which was increased to a certainty a few minutes later, when, with a rush, the mighty stream spread out in width. There was no time to save them selves, and many unfortnnates were whirled into the midst of the stream be fore they could turn around. Men. women and children were struggling in the water, and it is thought many of them never reached this place. Here a similar scene was enacted, only on a much larger scale, as the pop ulation is greater, and the sweeping whirlpool rushed into a denser mass of humanity. It was WI LIGHT OF TERROR, and the gathering shades of evening closed in a panorama of horrors that has few parallels in thehtetory of casualties. Now and then tha waters would wash against the one side of the moun tains, and then to the otherside, carry ing with them their human freight. This division enabled those on the banks to rescue many. Tna water is too high to even atte to estimate the extent of the disaste but the city is a complete wreck, and it is certain the loss of life will be immense The fugitives are returning to the place, where a few hours ago they were happy and prosperous. NEAR JOHNSTOWN. New Florence, grey morning light Pa., Juuo 1. The does not seem to show either hope or mitigation of the awful fears of the night. We are where we drove across the mountains in the darknesss of the early morning, at New Florence, 14 miles from the scene of the disaster at Johnstown. It has been hard night with everybody. It is said to be next to impossible to get to Johnstown proper to-day in any manner: except by row boats. The roads are cut up, so that even the countrymen refuse to travel over them in their rough est vehicles. The only hope is to get within about three miles of Johnstown by special train, or by hand car. Already 9 dead bodies have been pick ed up within the limits of this borough since daylight. IN one ot them nave as yet been recognized. Five of those found are women. One lady probably 35 years old and . rather handsome, had clasped in her arms a babe about six months old. The dead body of a young woman was discovered in the branches of a huge tree which had been carried down the stream. . FRESHETS IN VIRGINIA. Richmond, Va., June 1. The tremen dous freshet in James River has about reached its highest point. To-night the water canae upon Main street above the old market to the depth of six inches. It "had already backed up on Franklin street to the depth of three feet, and per sons are moving about in row-boats on the corner of 17th and Franklin. Con siderable damage has been doue to the city water works and there is a proba bility of a scarcity of water in the city mams, as the present pumping capacity is about one-half the daily .consumption. ro trains have left Richmond except over the York River Hue to West- point, and the city is entirely cut off from the outside world, as far as mail facilities are concerned. The losses in the cities of Richmond and Manchester will aggre gate many thousand dollars. Richmond is almost as completely is olated from the outside world as she was during some portions of the war. Ap prehensions of a freshet equal to that of 0 and 771 proved to be well founded and all day considerable excitement has been caused as a consequence. A great volume of water from Lynch burg is expected before morning, and it is calculated that fully six feet will be added to the present height. This, with tidewater, will completely submerge all the lower portion of the city and do im mense damage- Trains left for the north over the Richmond, Frederickscurg and Potomao Railroad, and no mails are re ceived over that route, owins: to serious washouts and tosses of bridges, l&c. Passengers had to go north via the York River Railroad and steamer at West Point, on the Chesapeake aud Ohio. On the Richmond and Danville, there were no trains, in or out. This is the heaviest freshet known in Richmond for 'years. Fortunately no loss of life has yet beeu reported. i AT PETERSBURG. Petersburg, June 1. The Appomat tox is on a bbom. The earliest damage was from the bursting of the receiving reservoir at the water works. This oc curred about 11 o'clock last night. The whole lower part of the city -is under wate. i , in northernvirgina. Alexandria., Va., June 1. Yester day's storm was one of the most destruc tive that has been experienced here - lor many years, and judging from reports re -ceived from the surrounding county, the damage will amount to many thousand dollars.

' : WATER-SPOUT AT POCAHONTAS. Roanoke, Va., June l.--A ieriible rain storm i swept over Southwest Yir- ginia during Thursday night and Friday, and at Pocahontas a water-spout at the head of Laurel Creek submerged the city, and many persons had to be taken from their homes on horses. Washington, ' June 1. Washington has been entirely out - off from railroad communication with other places. The only trains running are on the Pennsyk vania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads between here and New -York. At the railroad offices iris stated that the wash out is general through Virginia ' and West Virginia, and no trains can possi bly be sent out before 9:40 I o'clock to night. There is a tremendous freshet in the PotoNfac. The loss to wharf property is placed at irom $JUU,uuu to $300,000. n NEW YORK STATE. Washington, June-1. Dal ton. War saw, Mt. Morris and other points in New York State report the greatest rain fall in years and there is much damage to property. Salem Female Academy. commencement exercises at that excellent institution of learning. Special Correspondence of tbe Watchman. Winston Salem, June 4. The 85th commencement exercises of the famous and time-honored institution of learning, naiem female Academy, are in progress here this week and the Twin-City is anve witn visitors, mis is always a joyful season, and the exercises this year equal (if they don't surpass) any previous etlort of the beloved academy. grand musical concert. lhe commencement exercises were opened last Friday evening with a grand musical concert m the Moravian church, which was crowded to its utmost capaci ty. 1 he program consisted of 22 excel lent selections ana tne auaience was highly delighted .with the elegance of the instrumental and vocal mnsic. The ncert was not only a grand success, but it proved clearly to the large audience that the instructors in the musical de partmefct were doing excellent work. the-baccalaureate sermon. The annual sermon before the graduat ing class was delivered by Rev. Thomas H. McCallie, D. D., of Chattanooga, Tenn., at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning in the Moravian church. After then opening services the speaker read an appropriateJesson for the morning from the ,31st chapter of Proverbs, commencing at the 10 verse. If the readers of the Watchman will look up this chapter and read i they will agree with me that a more apprpriate reading lesson for the occasion could not have been chosen. Dr. McCallie announced his text from Ruth, 1st chapter and 16th verse: "and Ruth said, entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest I will lodge: -thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." . The divine spoke just 45 minutes. He lost no time, but spoke fluently, log ically and eloquently many words of ad vice to the 24 young ladies (members of the class) who would soon go forth to en ter the duties of womanhood. The Doctor filled his mission of preach ing the commencement sermon well and Principal Clewell should congratulate himself upon securing the services of such an able and learned man of God. the art exhibit. The rooms of the art department were opened from 2 to 5 o'clock Monday even ing for the inspection of a vast crowd during the evening. ' Theivarious line of needle work, hand-pninting, etc. dis jdayed, was both tasty and praise-worthy. This department certainly does'nt lack for competent instructors. alumnac association. . The meet ing of the alumnac at 3 o'clock yesterday evening was an intensely in teresting gathering. Ladies who were educated here years ago were in attend ance and the gathering was i without a doubt a happy one. We here stop the report to give place to more general news.J The "Societas Fratrum." Davidson College, May 31. The Societas Fratrum of Davidson College held its last regular meeting for the year in the old chapel yesterday. Thirteen new members were initiated, aud officers were elected for the ensuing year. H. W. Smith was elected President, J. E. Thacker Vice-President, S. M. Rankin Secretary and Prof. W. D. Vinson Treas urer. Prof. Vinson made his annual re port, and reported; that the funds now under control of the Societ' amount to $9(Jb, and that four young men had been aided through College during the term. The bocietas r ratrum is, in its .aim, an extremely laudable Society for the benefit of needy students, and is, as fur as known, the only one of its kind in the United States which originated among the student body, and2 was sup ported by students, not out of their wealth, but out of their poverty. l he Society was founded in 1873 by Mr. Hen ry Fries, of ba I em, Is. C, and has since that time enabled more than a score of young men to pursue their College course.. No money is given to any one, but the recipient signs a promise to re pay the amount of the loan as soon as possible after graduation, without inter est. At first the Treasury depended for increase solely on the dues of the members, but since' the last yoar, the profits of the College Book Agency have been turnert over to tne society. l nis amount, added to the dues of the mem bers, will make the annual increase nearly $2o0, and in a few years the so ciety will be able to send a large num ber of young men through the entire course, nv tne constant return oi loan ed monev. there is no end to the amount of good it can accomplish. The unflag ging zeal and industrv of Prof. Vinson has served in a great degree to place tne Society on its present prosperous foot ing. All the members of the Faculty are contributor to the funds. Home Folks. North Carolina has vast forests that are of creat value. These should not be slaughtered without necessity. They should be sold only at high prices and when farming demands it. Do not de stroy your forests to obtain virgin land, but improve what is already under culti vation. There are vast spaces of the State still covered by original growth, not more than one-third of the State, if so much, has been cleared. Immigrants are invited, but immigrants who are sober, industrious and well meaning ; families who desire to live and let live and to help build up the State. Mr. P. M.Wilson, now in charge of the State Immigration Bureau, is moving to bring into the State people of character, intel ligence and with capital. We hope he will succeed. . He is a young mau of ca pacity, education aud energy and he will not be apt to solicit immigration of a questionable sort. Iffl, Messenger. Department of the Interior. I " u. v.. iU AT 1, 1589.
