The People Forewarned but too Sceptical to Flee. Urkisnshdpu, Pa., June 1.—The reservoir, the bursting of which created such havoc at Johnstown, was lor merly known as Conemaugh Lake It is from 200 to 300 feet above the level of Johnstown, being in the mountains. It is about three and half miles long and from a mile to one and a quarter miles in width and in ,some places it is 100 feet in depth, It holds >Morp fffitfir than any other reservoir, natural or artificial, jn the United States. The lake has been quadrupled in size by artificial means and was held in check by a dam from 700 to 1,000 feet wide. It is 90 feet in thickness at the base and its height is 110 feet. The top baa a breadth of over 20 feet. Recognizing the menace which the lake had to the re gion below, the South Fork Club had the dam inspected once a month by the Pennsylvania railroad’s engineers, and their investigation showed that nothing less than some convulsion of nature would toar the barrier away The steady rains of the past forty eight hours increased the volume of water iu all the small mountain streams, which were already swollen by lesser rains earlier in the week, A CLOUD BUItST. From the best information obtain able it is evident that something in the nature of a cloudburst roust have been the culmination of tho struggle of the water against the embankment. The course of tho torrent from the broken dam at the foot of the lake at Johnstown is almost eighteen miles, and with the exception of one point, (he water passed through a narrow ‘V” shaped valley. Four miles below thd dam lay the town of South Fork, where tbe Hnuth Fork itself empties into Conemaugh river. The town contained about 2,000 inhabitants. Four miles farther down on the Cone- maugh river, which runs parallel with the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, was the town of Mjner.il Point. It had 800 inhabitants, 90 per cent, of the houses being on a flat and close to the river. Six miles far ther down was the town of Cone maugh, and here alone was there a topographical possibility of the spread ing of the flood and tho breaking of its force. This town contained 2,500 inhabitants. Woodvnle, with 2,000 people, lay q, mile below Conemaugh in a flat, and one mile farther down were Johns town and its cluster of sister towns, Cambria City and Conemnugliborough, with a total population of 30,000. On made ground, and stretched along the right at the river verge, were the immense irou works of the Cambria Irou and Steel Company, who have 85,000,000 invested in their plant. Besides this there at-p |n,any other l'a r £;o industrial establishments op the bank of the river. warnings unheeded. The calamity was as singular as fa tal. . It is very evident that many lives have been lost by the foolish in credulity of the people, who were heedless of the warnings of dauger. For more than a year there were fcar« of an accident of just such a character as the one that has happened. The foundations of the dam were consid ered to be shaky early last spring, and many increasing leakages wore reported from time to time, according to people who live in Johnstown and other towns on the line of the river. Ample time was given to the John town folks by the railroad official* uml by other gentlemen of standing and reputation. Iu dozens, yes, hundreds of cases, this wanting was utterly dis regarded, aud those who heeded it early in the day were looked upon as cowards, and many jeers were uttered by lips that are now cold among the rank grass by the river. One poor, nameless woman who looked with sightless eyes at gray clouds, trout the slimy bank of a meadow below New Florence, wore a smile that per haps had its birth in that spirit of “Whose afraid!’’ which has itad such awful results. A BITTER FEELING. There has grown up a bitter feeling among the surviving sufferers against those who owned the lake and dam, and damage suits will be plentiful by and by. The dams in Stony creek, above Johnstown, broke about noon yesterday', aud thousands of feet of lumber passed down the stream. “How can anybody tell how many arc dead?" said a railroad engineer to me this morning. “I have been at Sang Hollow with my train since 1L o’clock yesterday', and 1 have seen fully 500 persons lost in the flood.” G. W. Each, a brave railroad em ploye, saved sixteen lives at Ninevnh. A HUNDRED ROASTED ALIVE. The most awful culmination of the awful night was the roasting of 100 or more persons in mid-flood. The ruins of houses, out-buildings and other structures swept against the new railroad bridge at Johnstown, and from an overturned stove or some such cause, the upper part of the wreckage caught fire. There were crowds of men, women and children on the wreckage, aud their screams were soon added to tho awful chorus of the horror. They were literally roasted in the flood. Soon after the fire burned itself out others were thrown against the mass. There were fifty people in sight when the ruins suddenly parted and broke up, and the unfortunates were swept under the bridge into the pitchy darkness. Tho latest news from Johnstown is that Hut two houses can be seen in the town. I>. is also said that hut three houses remain iu Cambria City. CARS CARRIED AWAV.
