Mineral Point, containing about 225 residents, is situated about seven miles east of Johnstown. It has since last Friday been completely cut off from the test of the world, and until The Pittsburg Times reporter managed to get into the place by working his way along the bed of the stream it was uncertain whether any one had escaped. The loss of life was not nearly so large as it would have been hail not the most of the people left their homes some time before, owing to the reports of the dam being liable to break at any moment. Out of a total of thirty-four houses iu the place only ijfcveu are left, and the reason they were not taken was that they were situated some distance up the mountain, out of the flood's reach. Not a single vestige of the houses swept away c*»£ be seen. There was only one church in the*place, and it is gone. The number of persons known to be drowned is sixteen. What was formerly the Main street is now the bed of the river. News from Mineral Point. WHOLE COUNTIES LAID WASTE. Pittsburg-Indianapolis game postponed on accouut of rain.

At ail times during the night the moans and shrieks of souls in the fearful to rent of flame could be heard above the roar of the flames and the booming torrefTt which thundered by. All through Friday night the horrid din kopt up until some of the on lookers fled from the spot, unable to boar it longer. Another party as late as Saturday morning heard the shriek of a woman's voice amid the ruins, and, looking in the direction, was horror stricken to see a woman's white arm and shoulder amid a pile of ruins, on which the flames were rapidly encroaching. For several moments the arm swept the air, the hand clutching convulsively at space; then a broad sheet of flame swept down toward it, and the most fearful scream of mortal agony that ever thrilled the air arose.

Washington, June 6.—The civil service comini:s;oners having concluded in part their investigation into tha recent management of the New York custom hcu e, so far as the behavior of tho local examining beard and the questi n of the proper observance of civi service as regards entrance examinations are concerned, find in subfctance as louous: "The rjce.it management of the examinations for aduiis ion has been character.zed by great laxity and negligence, and on the part of some of the custom house employes by positive fraud. Accusations have been made to the commission showing that the practice of keeping the markings and the list of eligibles secret has given rise in the minds of applicants to the suspicion, whether well or ill founded cannot now be said, that those who were without pol.t cai backing d.d not receive justice. Te-t m my has lDeen adduced to show that certain members of the examining board have openly sneered at and ridicu.ed the law they were supposed to euforce, and havo permitted the examining room to be made a headquarters und gathering place for politicians. This commission intends, whenever practicable, to insist that the examining board sha;l be composed of men who have not taken active part in political contests, m older that the examination shall be free from all suspicion of partisanship o bad aith. For its laxity and negligence in the mat tors herein specified the board of examiners in the New York custom house is hereby censured. We hereby recommend to the collector of the port that Charles F. Terhune and Saul Hollander, custom house employes, I e dropped from Uie service, the tcstimor v as to their misconduct being conclusive. It is our opinion that the testimony taken in connection with the surrounding corroborative circumstances would also justify the removal of Frederick Davis. We aisj herewith tile certain athdavits and evidence taken before us concerning the case of Cliarhs F. Terhune. We believe that he should be indicted and prosecuted un Jer section 6 of the civil service law, as the aftlda vits of two witnesses and his own confession before this commission, in our own opinion, clearly prove him to have been guilty of violating said law.

Johnstown, Pa., June d.—In the midst of this scene of death and desolation a relenting Providence seems to be exerting a subduing influence. Six days have elapsed since the great disaster, and the temperature still remains low and chilly in the Conemaugh valley. When it is remembered that in the ordinary June weather of this locality from two to three days are sufficient to bring an unattended body to a degree of decay and putrefaction that would render it almost impossible to prevent the spread of disease throughout the valley, the'inestimable benefits of this cool weather are almost beyond appreciation. The emanations from the half mile of debris above the bridge are but little more offensive than yesterday, ard should this weather continue a few days longer it is possible that hundreds of bodies may yet be recovered from the wreck in such a state of preservation as to render identification possible. Many hundreds of victims, however, will be roasted and charred in such shapeless masses as to preclude all chance of recognition by their nearest relatives. Bodies—Incidents.
