Latest from Johnstown. Every detail of the great disaster in Pennsylvania, is read with eager in terest. We append a synopsis of yes terday’s telegrams from the stricken. valley: Johntbown, I’a., June 0, 11 a. m. —The work of recovering the dead goes on with undiminished vigor, and as the workman become accustomed to their ghastly finds and the horrors of the scene 'become commonplace, they apply thenselves more diligently to their duty and 'abor with a system thnt produces rapid results. Dr. G. G. Gross, who is now in coufte charge ot the Johnstown bureau of the state board ofhealth and sanitary in spectors, assured your correspondent this afternoon that there is no inline diate danges of an epidemic in Pitts burg. “The danger,” said he, “is that the people will be scared into be- iug sick. But work looms up before us like a mountain. We need thou sands of men to work on the debris and clear it ot carcasses.” Notices were posted oil all the morgues to-day, stating that after to son Floods of the Past. At i.ynde Brook, near Worcester,on March 301b. 1876, thirty feet of the reservoir wall, which had been leaking, gave way. and over 600 000,000 gal lons of water were emptied imp the valley. Only one life was lost, but property was damaged to the extent of nearly $1,000,000. On March 27, 1877,theStaffordville reservoir, on the east bank ot the W il* limanttc river, gave way, and a torrent of water rushed down the valley at the rate of five miles an hour, destroying mill dams and railroad bridges in its The people were warned by a man on horse back, who kept ahead of the flood, and all except two of the residents of the valley escaped. The loss of property on this occasion ex ceeded a million dollars. By the bursting of the Huron mill dam, near Houghton, Mich., 0:1 Jan uary 2. 1884, six lives were lost; those ofCItas E. Raymond, bank teller, his son, and servant, and Howard Ray mond, of the Allouez mine, wife and The money lo.-s was not great lUUruUCfi WTUttl t euutn^ - day nodies would beheld only twenty four hours for idt ntification. If they are not recognized at the expiration of that time they arc photographed. Bccoguitiou is a difficult matter. There is a strong movement on foot in favor of applying the torch to the wrecked buildings itt Johnstown, and although the sitggcstioe meets with strong opposition at this time, there is little doubt tlint. the ultimate solution of the existing difficulties will be by this method. An army of men have been for two days employed in clearing up the wreck in the city, and although hundreds of bodies have been discovered, not one-fifth of the ground has yet been gone over. In many places rubbish is piled thirty feet high, and not infrequently these great drifts cover an area of nearly an acre. Those whose relatives or friends still rest beneath the wreck remonstrated strongly against ere mation. They insisted that all the talk of a threatened epidemic was only sensational gossip, and that the search for bodies should only be aban doned as a last extremity. The physicians in attendance warned the committee that further exposure of the putrid bodies in the valley could have but one result—typhus, or some other epidemic equally fatal to its victims. It was a question whether the living should be sacrificed to the dead, and whother the sway of seuti ment or mandate of science should be the ruling impulse. Although the proposition to burn the wreck was defeated, it was evident that the movement was gaining many adher ents, and the result, doubtless, will be that in a few days torches will be applied, not only to the field of waste in Johnstown, but also to the debris that chokes the stream above the Pennsylvania bridge. Niuevali saw some woful sights to- dav. During the period of day light 746 bodies were consigned to earth from the various morgues about town. This array ot dead was placed in trenches. Less than 100 had been recognized by friends. None of them were cluimed for private burial, howevor, as in a majority of instances the survivors were too poor to stand the expense. The bodies were gntli ered from up and down the river be low Johnstown, and the commission ers of Westmoreland county furnished part ol the ground where they sleep. Dr. Benjamin Lee, the Pennsylva nia state board of health s representa tive, was asked yesterday, what, in in bis opinion, were the prospects of an epidemic in Conemaugh (valley. He sail. “God only knows. No man living can tell what will come out of the piles of drift and wreckage. To day we put a portion of our corps of sanitary inspectors into the thick of the debris and in a little while the bodies of fifty dead animals, mostly horseB, had been removed and lmuled away for burial. If this per centage ig kept up there is a fearf ul amount of decomposed animal matter to be re moved or counteracted. But we will fight this thing to the.end.” A carload of supplies was unloaded on the track in Johnstown to-day by the relief committee. There was a rush for the goods. The strong over powered the weak aud g it the best. A fight occur.cd. A car load of goods from Cleveland came to-haud to-day. It consisted of water buck ets containing bread, butter,coffee, etc. To each bucket was tied a big coffee pot A dispatch from Lock Haven, Pa., says twenty-nine lives were lost iu that vicinity by the flood yvlien it reached there.

His ‘Favorite Proscription, for all those chronic weaknesses, nervous and other derangements peculiar to women, is used with unfailing success.
