Johnstown, Pa., June 5,1 p.m.— Conservative men are of the opinion that the number of people destroyed will reach from 12,000 to 15,000. This view is based upon fragments of evidence obtained from over 100 cit izens, carefully selected from as intel ligent men nnd women as could be found. They were chosen from as many occupations as possible,- and from as many social classes. They were asked to estimate the per cent- age ofloss to the total population, to tell liow many people of their ac quaintance had disappeared and how tho gathering of residents on the street and public places compare with the snmc in former .time- 0 - Their state ments of iacts aud estimates were proved as far as could be, and a calcu lation shows a fist of 12,000 to 15,000. It must be remembered that, a very large proportion of this loss is made up of children. How strikingly fre quent is the reference in the death list to “Mrs. Jones and six children,” Mrs. Smith and five children.” In the morgue little ones lie in doz ens, where adults are in half dozens. There is and has been much difficulty in recovering the bodies of children. Being lighter and smaller they have often been swept into out of the way recesses that arc almost inaccessible, and arc more easily carried away. A very great proportion of the children have been swept down the river, and their bodies driven under overhang ing hanks, under thickets and in oth er places where there is only sparce population, and whero the scureh is not carried on iu a careful and sys tematic manner.
