Johkstown, Pa , June 5. There has been a disagreeable fall of temperature fcsucc j tsterday that will be prolific of much KiiCcrin and many ills. Tbe' atmosphere to-nay is damp, the air keen and pene tratiug. This condition of affairs is favor able to workers, but most unpleasant for te houseless sufferers, and thinly clad wc-ma and children are shivering this rnoruiag under the eves of every convenient DUlliilllg. The sight of long relief trains rolling into J -.hnston over both railroads and from evry section of the country almost every hour, tends to make tbe observer conclude that charity, wbethc-r christian or not, is not so rare uutier the sua ' as tbe cynic philosopher would have us believe. From eest aud west, north and south came whole train loads of clothing and provisions, ac companied by special messengers having funds, and a large force of volunteer physicians, nurses and workers. Accom panying tbe big Philadelphia relief train was a special car occupied by a eorps of sureeons who were equipped with a large outfit of instruments and medicines. The character of the supplies sent out from the Quaker city is most acceptable, consisting o( cotton sheeting, clothes, boots, shoes, hard breads of all kinds, salt fish, canned goods, everything, in fact, in the provision line. . Johnstown. June 5 The enormity of tbe devastation wrought by theConemaugh flood is becoming more and more apparent with every effort of laborers to resolve or der out of chaoa. Over oneJiundred men have been all day engaged in the effort to cbr a narrow passage from "Death Bridge" upward through the sea of debris that blocks the Conemaugh for nearly half a milo. Every ingenuity known to 'man has been resorted to by this crew. The giant power of dynamite was brought into requisition, and at frequent intervals the roar of explosions reverberated through the valley, and sticks, stones and - logs would rise !bigh in tho air. Gradually a few of the heaviest timbers were demolish ed, and the fragments were permitted to fljat downward through the centre arch. At nightfall, however, tbe clear space above the bridge did not exceed an area of sixty feet in length by forty feet in width. When ooe reflects that fully twenty-five acres are to be cleared in this way, the task ahead seems an interminable one. But there is no royal road, and if the hun dreds or thousands of bodies beneath these blackened ruins are to be recovered for Christian burial, the labors of to-day must be continued with increased vigor. There are many conservative minds that recommend the use of tbe torch in this work of clearing the river, but they are not among the sufferers, and when such coun sels are betrd by the wives, children, tis ters or brothers, of tbof e who rest beneath this sea of flotsam and jetsam, the sugges tion of cremation meets a furore of objec tion. It is only indifference to the unreason ing mandate of grief that the toil and labor of clearing the river by means of dynamite aDd derrick Is persisted in. There is no hope in tbe calmer minds that this task can be pursued to the end. The progress of to-day is discernable, and before two more days have elapsed there is little doubt the emanations of putrid bodies will have be come so frightful as to drive the hardiest workmen from the scene. Until that time arrives, however, there is no hope that this grief -stricken populace will abandon the cherished hope of again gazing upon the forms of the loved ones whose lives went cut in , the fire and flood of Conemaugh. Pleadings of sanitarians and the logic of engineers alike fail to find an echo in the minds of the grieving and afflicted, but in a few more days the sterner logic of nature will aesert itself, and, in tbe face of impos sibilities, the task of cremation will become a Christian duty. "Where Johnstown's principal stores stood, last Friday, are now pitched 1,000 tents, and before to-morrow this number will probably be doubled. Under this shelter are accommodated the members of the militia and thousands of workmen, who are trying to clear the streets of this wreck' ed city. Over 5,000 tnen are thus em ployed in Johnstown proper. MARYLAND. Great Suffering and Destitution Caused by tbe Potomac River Flood By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Baltimore, June 5. Part of the money, provisions and' clothing collected here will ' be Bent to the sufferers in the flooded dis tricts in western Maryland, who are sick, homeless and helpless. A Williamsport, Maryland, man was hero to-day and told of the destitution and suffering caused by the floods along the line of the Potomac river and canal in western Maryland. While tbe loss of life will not exceed twenty, owing to the warning given the people, the destruction of property was immense, and scores of houses were swept away, leaving hundreds of people shelter less and almost starving. In Williamsport alone, on Sunday, thirty homeless and destitute families were fed, and at Point-of-Rocks at least forty families are nearly destitute and suffering. Tbe same is true of Sandy Hook, and other little villages along the Potomac river, some of which have been almost annihilated. All along the track of the angry flood are pitiable scenes of suffering, and many fam ilies are living shelterless along the river banks. The people were mostly laborers, working on tbe canal, and all their earthly possessions were swept away, with their homes. J The Weekly Star. THE DEATH 'PENALTY , To be Abolished in Italy and not Kn forced in Other countries. Pittsburg Times. While in tbe United States tbe question of the least painful mode of execution ia being agitated, in Eu rope there is a rapid growth of sen timent in favor of abolishing the death penalty altogether. In Italy, on the 1st of Jannary next, such a law will go into effect. ThiB is the more remarkable in view of the fre quenoy with whioh murder is com mitted among the hot-blooded in habitants of the' Italian peninsula. Not only are killings more numerous in Italy than in most civilized coun tries, but the murderers are more fe rocious and oruel. Though frugal in everything else, the Italians are frightfully prodigal of life. Yet, in spite of this, the statesmen of Italy have concluded that the death penal ty has no influence in diminish ing the frequency of murder, and that the State would not do oredit to its intelligence and humanity by clinging to a barbarouB method of punishment, Though Italy is the first of the great States of Europe to abolish it, the death penalty by law has, in praotice, been abandoned by a number of others. In Belgium there has been no executions sinoe 1863. In Prussia,from 1870 to 1880, while judgment of death was pro nounced upon 558 criminals, but one Hodel, the would-be assassin of the late Emperor William was exe cuted. Of twenty-one death sentences recently pronounced in Sweden but four have been carried into effect. In France, of 100 death penalties pronounced in 1830 65 were executed and of 100 death penalties pronounced in 1884 only 15 were carried out. In Austria the percentage of 16 in 1859 declined to three in 1884. Portugal, Holland, Boumania and sixteen of the Swiss cantons have abolished the death penalty, and Russia is taking steps to abolish it for crimeB below the degree of treason. Compact Between Tnurman and Cam eron. New York Star. Barring Ohio, Pennsylvania is pro bably the most clamorous communi ty for federal patronage of any State in the Union. For fifty years or more it has been fortunate in having men of great influence as its representa tives in Congress, men. too, who saw to it that the Keystone State had a very large share of federal "pap." Both Simon Cameron and his son, who succeeded him, believe firmly in the oldldoctrine, "to the victors be long the spoils.1' Therefore, they have had the ear of every President for nearly half a century, and easily se cured places for those who were friend ly to their interests. This is one of the sources of Gen. Cameron's re markable power upon the political end of Pennsylvania. " . Ex-Senator Thurman one day at a ner party illustrated the office-getting propensity of the old General in a very neat way. The elder Cameron and Mr.Thurman are personally warm friends, and, while the company at the table were at the night of tne en joyment of the occasion, the two got to chafiling each other about their associations in the Senate. ' General," said Mr. Thurman, "if you should reach the golden shore before I do I hope you will say a good word for me." "Certainly I will," replied the Gen eral, "I should be lonesome on the other side without an occasional tiff with you; but Thurman, suppose you get there first, what are you going to do for me?" "Oh, I will speak well of you," was Thurman's quick reply, "but I will at the same time warn St. Peter that if he doesn't keep his eye on you every officer in Gabriel's army will be a Pennsylvania!! before you have been there a month " FOR THE SUFFERERS. Over a Hair million of money and a Large Amount of Supplies from Philadelphia Large Contributions from Otber Places. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Minneapolis, Minn., June 5. The Cit izens' Committee to-day voted to send 2,000 barrels of flour to the Johnstown sufferers. The order was divided among all the mills, so as to get the flour as early as possible. ; Philadelphia, June s. The enthusias tic aud good naured rivalry existing be tween the various collectors of funds, cloth ing, etc., in this city, for .the Johnstown sufferers, has been the means of swelling tbe amount of cash subscriptions to about $550,000, while donations of food. and other necessaries are so numerous that, some dif ficulty is being experienced in handling them. Thirty-one car-loads in all have been shipped, and it la thought that fully as much is awaiting shipment. A portion of the contributions is being sent to Wil liamsport and other places on the west branch of the Susquehanna river. . "The women ten me every day That all my bloom has passed away."

Lewiston Journal. One of the best stories of white haired, white-chokered, courteous Calvan Record, is about a mellow old lawyer who used to live on the banks of the Androscoggin. The squire was given to deep potations and was fa mous for his fine distinctions. It is said that in special pleading he could split a hair even more closely than Mr. Record can himself. But often after the shades of night had fallen, the squire might have been seen struggling home so boozy that he apparently could not split a shingle, to say nothing of a hair. One night when he was drunker than usual, he staggered completely out of his com se and could not find it. Realizing that he was lost and drifting into unfamiliar regions, he called at house to ask for informa tion. "Madame," he gravely said to the lady who came to the door, candle in hand "Can you tell (hie) me where Squire Blank lives?" "Certainly," she said, and gave him full directions. But as she talked and looked, and as her candle gradually brought out 'the features of the man before her, a puzzled expression came over her face, and she finally asked: "But, isn't this 8quire Blank?" "Madame," replied the old lawyer, assuming a judicial air, "that is en- irinltom In Parvo A German statistician says; "There are at present 3,064 languages spoken by the inhabitants of our globe, whose relieious convictions are di vided between 1,000 different confes sions of faith.

' Subscriptions Being; Raised for ths Flood Sufferers at many Places. . By. Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. New York. June 4. Cashier Buck harts, of the Fourth National Bank, was at the Mayor's office this morning, having been designated by President J. Edward Simmons, Treasurer of the Citizens' Com mittee, to assist in the work of receiving subscriptions. That the plea for assistance la meeting with prompt and substantial re sponse is demonstrated by subscriptions which have been turned into the Mayor's office from early tnis morning. It comes from all sources and in cash and checks alike. One of the subscriptions of to-day was that of $5,000 sent by the London Stock Exchange through Prince & Whit ley, bankers and brokers, No. 64 Broad way.

Shortly after 8 o clock the meeting was called to order by Commissioner Douglass, who introduced President Har rison as the presiding officer of the meet ing, Upon taking tbe chair the President was loudly applauded. He began his speech by saying that every one present was conscious of the circumstances for which the meeting was convened, and that it would be entirely superfluous for him to attempt to set before the audience more impressively than the newspapers had already done, the horrors attending the calamity which has fallen upon the city of Johnstown. He said this was no time for a speech; that while he talked women and children were suffering for the relief of which they had assembled. The Presi dent, in dismissing the meeting said: "May I express the hope that this work will be earnestly and thoroughly pushed, and that every man and woman present here will go from the meeting to use their influ ence, in order that these supplies of food and clothing, so much and so promptly needed, may te supplied, and that either to-night or to-morrow morning a train well freighted with relief may go from Wash ington."
