SCENES IX SODTH FORK VILLAGE.
[Special from a Staff Correspondont,.]
JOHKSTOWX, PA., June 3.—A TOST
correspondent returned to-day from a
nearly all-night ride to and from the
hitherto inaccessible South Fork, and the
dam whoso waakness caused such immense damage.
The club house.of the South Fork Hunting and Fishing Club -was visited, the burst
d»m thoroughly examined, and South
Pork inspected from beginning to end.
The missing Pittsburgers, \rhosa silence
•was construed so distressingly by their
anxious friends, are safe and well unless
they have met with some accident
since they left their comfortable places on
the late Lake Conemaueb. The condition
of the roads is simply horrible, and i
is owing to their impassable condition
that no word was receired from the Pitta
burghers. Up to laat night nobody from
Johnstown except THE POST correspond
«nt had reacted South Fork, and it was
impossible to reach the latter poini
from AHoona until the same time. Colonel
E. J. Unger, D. W. C. Bid well, J. J. Law
Tence. James K, Clark. J. B. Shea,
George E. Shea, L. Irwia and H. L,
Irwin. went from the Club house to South
DFork and from there to Altoona, expecting to he given au opportunity of
reaching ritt'sburg. It is quite unlikely
they will get there hefore a day or two
In coming here it was necessary to use
a two-horse spring wagon, aud even
this
couldn't
be utilized
wh*n
•ome particularly steep banks wera
encountered at the fording places. On
horseback the fording of two streams was
accomplished.
ME. BOYJER'S STORY.
W. I*. Boyer, the factotum of the South
JFork Hunting and
Fishing Club,
was
seen last night and stated
among other things, the very Significant
news that he had warned both Johnstown
and South Fork by telegraph of their
dangor hours before tho disaster happened.
"As early as 11:30 o'clock in the morning
thingabejjan to look serious," said he.
"The water was rising rapidly in the lake,
owing to the sudden freshets.
AH of us
were bard at work on the lett sida
of the dam trying to create an escape
for the water. We wanted the overflow
to hold the surface of the lake level
with the top of the dam at least. We
cut a woir, but the
bank was
hard and shaly, and would not reach on t
rapidly enough. The water pourod into the
lake and raised it abov« the top of the
dam. At first only the upper stones gave
Tr»y, but each moment tk« water gained
an impetus aud soon a furious break oc
cnrredi
"The middle of the dam for a distance oj
100 feet was ripped out as cleanly as if
don« with a knife, and the next moment a
miniature sea was pouring out tons and
ton» of water into a gorge that was
soon transformed into a deluge. The mem
bars of the fishing club could do nothing
then, and quietly retreated to the hotel.
As for the warning to Johnstown, it was
given about noon, and. the break didn't
ocenr until two and one-half hours aftertrard4 They wouldn't believe tho dam was
unsafe.
One carpente? emphatically
remarked it was a lie, and that no oao
but » fool would beliave such, stories."
THE KI7SH OF THE FLOOD.
E, K. McHugh, who lives ia a house
near a demolished bridge, obtained
another view of the break about half a
mile below the dam:
"The grand rush of waters was simply
indescribable," said ho. "The mighty
roar, the furious bullowing, the horrible
appearance of this advancing wave,
as it came rolling aud pitching onward, I
shall never forget.
George S. Lamb
had a horse near one of the approaches
to the bridge. He hastily cleared his
wife and children out of the way, but
could not save a ainela article of furniture, for the whole house was bundled out
of sight the next moment. George C.
Fisher is another person who owned a
house nearer tho dam than Lunib, but he
got out quite promptly when the first;
aound of the broken dam was heard.
"Notice the driftwood," said Me Hugh,
"showing the general direction and tenor
of the flood."
From a aiatanca the sight durine tbe
flood was appalling. Tho limits of the
Bide boundaries were certainly a quarter
of a mile broad, and the sweeping
•wall curled and twisfct-d and lashed in
the most horribly «ugg«stive manner,
Two hours were consumed in letting the
water ruu out. The release began at 2
o'clock P. M. and lasted until after 4.
As tor the burated <iam, it is » sight in
itself. At a great distance the break in
the apparent bank of uiud does not look
very great, but a close insp^ciiou reveals
tfie true state of the case. The open section i» probably 100 teet in length, and
the sides of .the cut are remarkably
smooth.
COTEREO WITH MUD.
A clamber all over both sides shows
the solid rock is tn a very great extent
covered with a soft accumulation of mud.
Iu some pUces, however, the masonrj
can be found, and the character of the
breasfwork determined. It appaars to be
kxtade up of a maas of rubble workrough stone* packed down with cement
in the bed of the Conernaugh river. Right
in the middle of the gap in the dam
aorao cut stone work is exposed.
This is said
to
be
the culvert by which some large pipes
conducted the overflow' from the bottom
of the dam to the stream beyond. Even
now the Oonemaugh river is running like
a mill sac*, but tne volume of water is of
course ,-idiculoualy small compared
with what it recently 'was. This little
jtrearii, Dunmeyer'a inlet, Bodebauffh's
inlet,' Muddy run and au unnamed brook,
are supplying plenty of material tor
another lake mthe old place, but as there
58 no barrier to the water's egress it rapidly runs out.

ward tho hua.l of. what was Lake Coneinaiiirb is a airaure one. A low short
hours aco in wa,a a beau til ul sheet, of water,
peaceful and serene. Black bans sported
in its bonoui, and land-locked t.rout
diverted themselves until auch time aa the
sportsmen could go aud capture them.
Xow the mHtainnrphoHia is marked.
a f ead of tbe lake a very muddy and
lovely valley stretches out. Pools of dirty
•vrater dot its bed, as depressions ln:re and
there 'detained and hold it in their embrace, as i f l o t h to allow such a prize to
escape.' The ooze is lour or five inches
dorp, and it is impossible to walk in tho
valley with any degree of easa In many
Dlact'H there are 'sink holes.
While your correspoudent was informed
by Mr. Boyer that all of the gentlemen of
the Decoration Day party had 'departed
for Pittsburgh, one elderly maiden lady
residing in the neighborhood took occasion to oast reflections upon such statements. She sad that she had been informed that oue of the party had remained
to Kettle all debts with the intention of
getting away from Lake Conemaugh and
never going near it again. Tbe lady displayed considerable bitterness, and reflected on the club because of the pre
aumed death of her relatives in Johns
town. There are several people in the
neighborhood who talk iu the same strain
COLONEL UNGEK'S FAKM.
Colonel Unger's farm is almost separated from everything else. Ihe flood
washed away the roads along the hillsid*.
and the result is the greatest difficulty iu
moving around. For instance, ou the
way to the club bouse from Johnstown
two streams must be forded. Last night
they w»ro very turbulent, and threatened
to carry off your correspondent aud his
horses. To rWch Colonel U rigor's farm
requires the fording of the Conemau^h
river an almost impossible clamber over
rocks to the road after the river is
crossed, and then a hazardous drive alone
a sliding bank to bis place. Demolished
bridges are entirely responsible lor this
state of affairs,
•
>
.
After investigating the condition
of the cause of tho horrible casualty • THE POST writer continued
on his way to South Fork. This
place is.two-miles from the dam, 11 miles
from Johnstown, and 29 miles from
Altoona. After tbe fording of the Conemaush river where the bridge stood, a
rocky road, winding along tbe brow of a
tremendoua ravine, leads to the station ot
South Fork. It was down this ravine tha
flood dasued. The sides had boon prettily
clad with trees and underbrush of various
kinds, but when the water came it
stripped them of all their usual decorations, tearing up things by the roots and
making a brown track where previously
waving tree tops had stood.
And, by the way, an idea of the terrific
force of'this volume of water may ba
given by this statement: Fivo or six
rocks, weighing a ton apiece at least, bad
been washed down from the dam a distance of three-fourths of a mile. They
were rolled along like so many pebbles.
CONDITION- OF SOUTH KOBK.
South Fork itself is in bad sbape. The
people are poor, and while the whole place
is not worked out, 22 houses ware carried
away, upset or smashed. Two persons
wvre drowned. lUv. McMahon, said to be
a local Methodist preacher, and Howard
Scbaeffer, a miner. McMahon's family
is away, but be lives in a a mall bouse in A
low-lying district, and was surprised by
the flood and drowned before ha could bo
rescued. SchaeU'er was helping to secure
a bridge. The water rose suddenly, he
lost his balance, fell into tho addyiug
swiil, and was carried away in a inoineut.
The acone railroad bridge at this pUce
was also carried away. Yesterday several
trains full of Altooua curiosity seekers
were carried to South Fork. Tlioy saw in
miniature the scene enacted on a far mora
extensive scale elsewhere. Three or four
hou»«3 were upturned, ten or twelve were
swept away, aud a n u m b a r wore reduced
to kindling wood. While a large pare of
the town is built on hL'h ground, quite a
portion of it was inundated. Tbe wreckage ia piled 10 fcoc high in the streets.

WASHINGTON, June 3 —The president,
the secretary of war and attorney general
to-day held a confrre.nce to discuss what
aid could be rendered to the suffe.rers at
Johnstown and along the line or destruction. The resources of the war department are not extensive in the matter of
t«nts, etc., but it was decided to furnish
rations and medical stores when somo
idea could be obtained as to what would
be needed in this line. No request for
rations has yec come. Two army officers,
Captain Gageby and Lieutenant Miller,
who have volunteered their services,
have
been
detailed to
aid
General Hastings, and any recommendations
they
may
make
will
ha
responded to by the department. The
president will retain communication with
General Braver, and whatever aid caii.be
given by the government authorities will
be extended. The subscription of citizuns

collect many thousand dollars. .For the
past two days there has been a preat. demaud at the newstands for THE POST and
other Pittsburgh newspapers, but they
are not obtainable as none have arrived
hor« since Friday. A few pouches of
letter mail from Pittsburgh which was
forwarded by way of Buffalo and N«w

The president has signed the call and will preside
at tho mooting. A telegram was received
at the White Rouse to-day signed by
representatives of the Masonic fraternity
of Pittsburgh requesting the co-operation
of tho national Board of Health with the
local sanitary authorities in cleaning the
Allegheny river. A reply was sent stating tho hoard was not now in existence.
Dr. AtkinKon, at Pittsburgh, was designated to act for the war department in the

Advertising prices, without
clear information of what for,
is one of the plagues of the
clothing business. There are
more apostrophes and adjectives,
often over a comparatively
valueless quality at a cheap
price, than would do for a
proclamation of martial law!
Never hear a word from
Wariamaker's about prices, do
you?
We'll do anything we can to
help you to a fair judgment
about clothingl and get you
coming to our store, hut how
advertising our prices will do
that is, we confess, a mystery.
They tell you about .quality
no more than dashing a chunk
ot cold iron into water discovers its temper.
There's one common-sense
way of understanding prices:
and that's with the goods in
hand, the quality stated, and an
examination of the fit and workmanship.
We'll submit our goods, with
perfect confidence, to that way
of finding which is cheapest.
Nobody can beat us on prices
for reliable clothing, though
we're not making a big flourish
of them in newspapers.
