MANY BODIES WILL BE BURNED. Pittsburg, June 11.—The Press publishes a special dispatch from Johnstown as follows: "Two hundred people who have suffered from the flood in New Florence, Nineveh and Centreville, who are boustd at New Florence, are starving. They are people who have been used to all the comforts and luxuries of life before the pent up waters of Conemaugh lake devastated their homjs and enrried away members of 1 heir families.

Pa., June 11.—The great raft is an endless, measureless grave yard, made In a night. Its tombstones are the shattered timbers sticking out of the wncUage, the torn, ragged fragments of walls marking where thq streets had beeu.~ Though hundreds have already been uncovered,~the dead are coming to light in surprising numbers— if any one here can be surprised—and tliere are some faces among them that had never been missed. People just arriving in Johnstown say that the stench is s'ekaning and fearful, tainting the air of the valley everywhere, wl:ilo those who have worked here throughout the trying scenes have noticed it onfr at tiriffis and in certain places, showing that their senses are numbed. All the waters ore giving up their dead and the skiffs and grapplers are in waiting for them. The red shifted lumberman, standing midway in the raft, who is called the marker and color bearer, i aised his ax once to strike, but the blow never fell. If it had, it would have cut in twain the first of the bodies taken from the Point The bakers have made the last pound of flour into bread, and when that is eaten there will be nothing for the poor people to do but starve, unless their wonts are immediately relieved. The merchants of the place have sold and given everything they had in stock away. They have stocks of staple goods ordered, but cannot get them hauled over the railroads. A citizen of llew Florence, in speaking of this matter, sauTto a press correspondent: "We must have something to eat drnvn there. Coffee, bread and meat are all gone. Little children are crying for more food, and the unhappy parents often go without in order to feed the little ones. We have made applications for supplies, but have not got any yet. Something must be done soon, or some of us will die of hunger." The Last Pound of Flour. The house in which the body was found is No. 42 Merchant avenue. Underneath are two circular cellars, one for each family, and the cellars are acc?ssible on'y to the respective tenants.

What a pitiful showing this straddliug robber of labor makes when compared with real industries ? At the time of Maggie's disappearance and for two weeks later Mrs. Leuth,was in the hospital and her husban l out of the city. The sole occupant of their part of the dwelling was young Otto. Two or three days before the return of Mr. and Mrs. Leuth the Sbevells, who occupied part of the house, complained to Otto of a bad smell. He explained that, rats iiad probably died in tlje cellar and that a mattress up stairs was full of worms, and p omised to attend to them. He carried a mattress and feather bed into a shed, and for some days the smell was less noticeable. Washington, June 11.—The president has made the following appointments: Thomas J.

SULLIVAN TO BE ARRESTED. But there is stit! another point to consider. With prohibition in operation all this money spent for drink would in a short time be turned into the channels of legitimate trade. When a man qni's drinking he expends his earnings for the good of himself and his family. Take the $85,000,000 expended in Pennsylvania for drink, and suppose it to be spent in other ways. Prohibition haying car-ied, let us assume that $10,000,000 would be spent in building houses. You oould build 10,000 houses with thit, at a cost of $1,000 each. The work of building them would give work to at least 4,000 carpenters, 1,000 paiuters, 1,000 plasterers and pay no less than $3,500,000 for wages. It would pay $5,600,- 000 for material, and leave $1,060,000 for building lots. The demand for lumber would be greatly increased, giving employment to a large number of lumbermen, besides making an increased business for planing mil's. There wou'd be an additional demand for at least 2,000,000 pounds of while lead, many thousand gallons of oil, besides other painter's materials.

At London— At the St. Francis hospital one of the patients from Johnstown is a Mrs. Saeger. She has been raving almost constantly since her arrival, and for the past two days has been almost constantly insane. Her mania has token homicidal form and the Sisters fear for their lives, they not being in a position to attend to such cas&s, having none of the provisions necessary. Owing to her sad condition very little is known of her. In her rambling talk she has mentioned having come originally from Baltimore, and that she hadn't lived in Johnstown many months before the flood. Whether this is correct or not, of course, no one knows. It is hoped this publication may have the effect of bringing, her case to the attention of friends, wherever they may be. A Dangerous Patient. The body was horribly mutilated and decomposed, but every one present was confident that it was Maggie Thompson's body. The skull was found to have been broken in at the forehead in threa places. One wound was over the right eye, cne on the left frontal bone close by the hair and one in the left temple. The jaw was also broken and the right arm had been torn off at the elbow, but the trunk was too badly decomposed to give any further clew to the nature of the assault All the clothing was off and had been piled upon the body.

Many persons have quoted Mr. Harrison's speech in the United States senate in 1885 in opposition to the removal of Mrs. D. £.

Washington, June 11.—Surgeon General Hamilton has made a report to the president of his investigations at Johnstown and their results. The surgeon general says that there is no danger of epidemic at Johnstown; that the only danger, if any, is at the towns belovt Johnstown, the inhabitants of which may find their wate^contaminated. He suggests the boiling of the water before its use for drinking or cooking. He says that it will take about ten days to clear away the debri3 now in the river. He discourages the idea of burning it, as the bodies are in the water and they won Id not be reached by the flames. He says that money and provisions are still needed, but that the supply of clothing now on hand is adequate to all necessities. Rubber gloves, however, are needed for handling the dead. The Surgeon General's Report. Under steady and skillful cross examination he became uneasy and wavering in his replies, and when confronted with the bloody feather bed, Lrought from the shed, his brar vado departed and he broke down completely.

Frightful scenes at the morgues bear quick testimony of this. The keepers say that as soon as the air strikes tho corpses now it becomes almost impossible to haiAlle them, and the sooner they are buried the better. There are over fifty new faces on the slabs at the morgues, and a record shows that a week from the time morgues were established 1,493 people were buried from them who were discovered right in this vicinity. This has nothing to do with the valley or the dead of Nineveh, at New Florence and elsewhere. A great many were also buried who were not taken to these morgues. Otto said that he had met Maggie ThomjD- son near his own door and when she asked him for a button for her string he promised to give her one if she would go with him into the home. The unthinking child followed the young brute upstairs and there he attempted to assault her. Failing, he picked up a heavy hammer and struck the girl down. Death gave him a horrid privilege. Then he covered up the body and left the house. For a week he did not sleeD in the house, and at the end of that time carried the body to the cellar. Return of the Agricultural Department.

It is more difficult to clear away, fuller of animal matter, iiard«r to approach, and more dangerous to those who have to use river water than any part of the ruins. Although at first there was a natural seutiment against the burning of this mass, which led to the extinguishment of the Are here by Pittsburg firemen, there has been a steady change of opinion. If Gen. Hastings should order the drift fired the people would acquiesce and admit that it was for the best. This has been true in regard to the burning of dangerous buildings and piles of wood in various {Darts of the valley, where the nostrils of those to whom the wind carried the smoke told them time and time again that human was burning. The chances in the event of the finding of a body in the drift are decidedly against its identification, and this is also an argument in favor of the cremation- of the whole. This plan is to dry up t he part of the river bed where the wreckago is and then soak it with oil and fire it. Now that the river is rapidly lowering this plan is entirely feasible.
