A. 0. Kerr, next to Postoffice. We would not on any account disparage the evening press. We give to that end of journalism all the gilt edged glory that rightfully belongs to it.

We print real facts, but if, as stated to us, the respected Mirror reported 184 people, more or less, drowned at Clearfield, we were justified in calling a halt on that sort of news. We admit that our esteemed contemporary has been doing its level best to get the news, but it must be remembered that the TIMES had men on the field from the moment of the great catastrophe until the present time, and our reporters are still there, as the columns of the TIMES will testify. 100 Ladies Wanted, And 100 men to call on any druggist for a free trial package of Lane's Family Medioine, the great root and herb remedy, discovered by Dr. Silas Lane while in the Rocky Mountains.

6-4-tf. would be cleared. In a short time, however, the wires went down, and we could see the poles falling all along the line. Next we saw water rising, and a bridge a short way from the train was soon carried away. After the wires went down there was no telling when we would get away, as the conductor could got no Instructions.

It was about noon that we first heard that the reservoir was unsafe, but we did not think it was so serious. The break did not oc. cur until 4 o'clock. At that time we could not move one way or the other. There were two freight trains ahead of us and anothere just behind.

The passengers, however, kept quite cool. There was not the least bit of excitement SO far as I could see. Finally, at about 4 o'clock the locomotive whistle shrieked, and I knew danger was coming. I rushed to where my wife and baby were, and, grasping the child, called to my wife to follow me. The water was like a huge wall and was not 500 feet from us.

Everybody jumped. It was every man for himself and God for us all. The break was a most sudden one. I ran down the valley with my child in my arms, and my terrifled wife following close behind. I came to a small creek that bad become swollen, and jumped over that; then I looked for my wife, who, when she got to the creek, hesitated at first.

but a man behind her called out, jump, for God's That determined her, and she jumped and cleared the creek. The water was then close upon us, but we succeeded.in getting away. "We really had an advantage, as our train was on the outside, but many of the passengers of the other trains were drowned. As ours was a vestibule, and people had to crawl under the train or run around it, we lost eight of our passengers. It was a hard thing to see the ladies trying to crawl under the train to save their lives.

One of the ladies in our train who was lost was from New Orleans, Her body was lyIng at the Conemaugh morgue when we came away. There were also two ladies from Chicago, both of whom were drowned. I lost all my baggage, but am perfectly satisfied to let it go, and thank God I have got my wife and child.

Special to the TIMES. JOHNSTOWN, June situation here is horrible beyond description. The half has not yet been told. The mountains of dead are still being removed. Men, women and children are taken to the morgue and dumped into big tubs, and after being washed, the bodies are laid in pine coffins, with a strip of muslin drawn over them to hide their nudity.

The bodies not at first recognized are embalmed. If no friends come to claim them they are sent to the city of the unknown dead. It would be impossible to describe the situation as we see it here. Nobody would believe it if the facts were written in letters of lightning. Near as can be estimated, the population of Johnstown and surrounding boroughs, including all the flooded district, amounted to 34,000.

The most we can muster now at roll-call is shortage of Some of the absentees have gone to other towns, but most have gone down the river to death. All the way down from the broken reservoir the water made a clean sweep. Its line is well marked. All the timber on the banks and hillsides has been torn down and washed away. The trunks of the trees are piled up and intermingled with mountains of putrid flesh.

Every tree-trunk is stripped of limbs and bark. Thousands of the lost will never be found. Skulls and trunks and limbs are lying ownerless among the drift and debris. Recognition is impossible from the fact that there are few friends left to recognize the dead. It is safe to say that nearly 10,000 bodies are piled up in one immense drift, and the relentless flames are consuming the ghastly corpses.

Strange as it may appear, there are still some living beings in these mountains of death and desolation. All this is appalling, but people are being taken from these deadly death-drifts alive. Milton's and Dante's hells would not begin to compare with this scene of utter desolation, horror and death. There are wives seeking husbands and children, husbands hunting for lost fam ilies, brother searching for brother and sister for sister. Thousands of people are rushing here in expectation of finding lost friends and relatives.

Many are disappointed, while others sadly realize their worst expectations. One man searching among the gloomy ruius of his wrecked house found among the mud and sand the dead and stark bodies of his wife and six children. In many instances whole families have goue down in the ruin. Sometimes we find a lone child-father, mother, brothers and sisters all gone, Such scenes are aw. fully sad and pathetic, It is utterly impossible to give even a comprehensive description of the fearful scenes of destruction and desolation that meet the eye at every point.

No human intellect can grasp the scene of desolation and death. The corpse of a lady was brought from the ruins to-day. When washed and laid out on the slabs she almost resembled an imaginary angel. Her features presented a perfect picture of beauty. Her form was perfectly divine.

Near her was a child. Its little lifeless form was a perfect image of innocent loveliness. There are still other and thousands of sad scenes that flash a storm of terror and gloom upon the human beholder. In one instance the corpse of a beautiful and refined lady was taken from beneath the body of a dead horse. This is revolting, but true.

A little girl was found in the piles. She was dead, and a dog that tried to save her was still clinging with his jaws to her skirts. At Mineral Point Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Page and children were drowned, with the exception of one child that was saved.

The army of the dead keeps marching to the grave, and the end is not yet. Other thousands will be turned in day after day until the last corpse finds its final resting place. The proposition to organize a vigilance committee is discountenanced by the better class of citizens. Certainly no such We thing have can had be enough permitted of in lynch Pennsylvania. The hanging, shooting and drowning of men should be condemned by every rightminded citizen.

Crime should be punished not by lynching, but by law Among those who escaped at Mineral Point was your old friend Hicks, and wife. Mr. Hicks got out when the water was waist deep. Of course he had to wade to save his life. His house, property and all are gone.

If oblivion could draw a veil over this scene of dismal and heart rending desolation, it would be a blessing to newspaper deporters who are tied down to the miserable drudgery of searching among the dead and souffing the insufferable stench that pervades this horrible field of death and suffering. I send you this and calmly lie down in he mud to sleep. A WALL OF WATER. Graphic Story by an Escaped Passenger of the Loss of the Day Express. Pittsburg Dispatch.

E. W. Wilmot, an extensive orange grower of Redland, arrived in this city from Johnstown last evening. He was accompanied by his wife and 4 months-old babe. Mr.

Wilmot and his family were passengers on the Day Express that left Friday morning last, which was caught in the flood at Conemaugh. He tells a thrilling story of how the wall of water struck the train, and gives a graphic account of how lives were lost and saved in the wild rush for safety.
