THE MANNING TIMES. Nre-bm s;b, M. C: S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5,1889. Col. Jno. C. Haskell has been elect ed a member of the National Demo cratic Executive Committee. He wil make a worthy successor of Capt. Dawson. He is held in high esteem throughout the State, consequently tbe choice of the committee will give general satisfaction. Charleston is making preparations for an Inter-State Drill next fall. About $5,000 in prizes will be dis tributed. It promises to be a great success. The Manning Guards must work up, and bear off some of the prizes. They can do it if they will go to work with a will. Is it out of the question for Man ning to get up a cotton factory and a cotton seed oil mill? How would it do to combine a cotton seed oil mill, a cotton gin, and a canning factory? It will benefit the town and country. We need new life, new enterprises: let's boom up the county. We have heard a rumor that Capt. J. A. McClure may move his planing machine to Manning. We hope there is more than rumor in it, and that Capt. McClure will be induced to lo cate his planing mills here.' Manning needs all such improvements, and our citizens will gladly welcome them dI ~s. Chicago and the whole country has been interested for some time in the murder of one Dr. Cronin, a promi nent Irishman of that'city. The facts of the case so far as known are that the doctor was murdered because he charged those who had the care of funds for the Irish cause with misap propriating them. To elude the con sequences of their acts it was deter mined that he should be killed. A subscription list for a canning factory is being circulated, and a con .siderable part of the stock has been taken. It is proposed to place the capital stock at $5,000, divided .into two hundred shares of $25 -each. Such factories are said to pay very han ml' Lage quai of at o ny ways. Let our people take ho of it right. Let the people from tl country take most of the stock, own controlling interest, and with busine men at the management, it will be blessing to the county. Andrew Carnegie, the Pittsbu millionaire, in the "Nodh Americ Review," asks "Why should me leave great fortunes to their children -and thenfays: "If this is done fro affecti , is it not misguidedi affe tio . Observation teaches that, gel y speaking, it is not well for ti dren that they should be so bu Sitber '-'well for ti for i te ' maeed, ifi any, for the son~ men mywell-Hiisitate, for. it is n ogrquestionable that great sun bequeathed oft-ener work more for t injury than for the good of the r< cipients. Wise men will soon cor eldude that, for the best interests< the members of their families and< the State, such bequests are an ini proper use of their means." We give considerable, space thi v'week to the terrible catastrophe i Pennsylvania. It is one of the mot terrible, most appalling disasters eve known in the wori's history. Tb loss of life is not known, but it probably not less than ten thousanc an& they smitten down without minute's warning. ~The scenes al tending the disaster are heartrendin~ in the extreme. The daily paper teem with particulars Many mnillio' destoyed Wehave culled ou what appeared to be most importan1 and our readers will get a. fair ide 2from our report. '- But a touch of sorrow makes th whole world akin. Relief parties b; the hundreds have gone to the scen of disaster, to render what assistanc they can; and money and supplies ar r g in from every quarter. Cit ies ad towns and individuals ar4 sendinig in their hundreds and thous *ands and ten thousands of dollars All that is possible will be done t< give relief and comfort to the help less and suffering. Cotton .Bagging on a Boom. The Southern planters seem to b< determined to use cotton bagging a~ far as possible this year, in spite o the- promises of the jute men tha p resent low prices will be guaranteed The Boston Journ* of Commerci osnot believe that any combinatior u anters to buy cottor Sbaggn urnless it is to their advantag< todo so, and predicts that if the lov price of the raw material should mak( jute bagging the more available arti cle next fall the cotton material musi go begging. However this may be, the Alliance of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and - we believe, Tegas, have ordered theib two million yards of cotton bagging Tne Georgia sub-alliances have fol. lowed the advice of Mr. Northern ir either mnakin'g negotiable paper tc secure the factory men, or in ordering f through merchants of good commer cial standing. The Georgia farmners are preparing to meet the questions in a very practical way, and if the al liance men of the other States pro. ceed in a like business way we do not see why the mills should not feel se cure in changing their machinery and o'u~ ahead to weave the bagging. esconcession granted the baggina men in the nuonufacturers' meeting in Augusta seems to have inspired the whole movement with new life. The farmers of the South have at least shown their ability to combine for their own good, and whether the present movement secures a good substitute for jute or breaks up the trust in jute itself, its lessons will be werful for future good.-Augusta WORSE THAN WAR. Thousands of Human Lives Lost with Scarcely a Moment's Warning. JoHxsTow , PA., June 2.-The financial loss by the great flood will be 40 millions of dollars. This is the conservative estimate made to-day by a body of business men, and it is not one dollar too high. As the water recedes the great loss can be more clearly seen. MoRiE THAN 5000 LIVES LOST. It is now estimated from a careful survey of the flooded district that at least three thousand dwellings were carried away. Two representatives of the Press News Associa tion who have been at the scene of the dis aster for the past two days made extraordi nary efforts to determine as near as pesi ble the actual loss of life. Inquiries were of course made in every possible place, and from any person who could give any in. formation, but the task was an exceedingly difficult one. The lowest estimate formed was that 5,000 persons have perished, while the estimates of many place the figures at several thousand in excess of this number. It is simply impossible at this time to de termine anything like a correct estimate of the loss of life beyond the fact that thous ands are known to have perished. The Allegheney River, into which the Canemaugh empties, has been almost over flowing its banks for the past three days. The Ohio is also high, and bodies of the victims which were not rescued before reaching the Allegheney, will probably not be, unless they are picked up away down the Ohio River. 25,000 DESTITUTE PEOPLE. There are at least 25,000 pe-pie here who will have to be provided with provisions donated for at least a week. So far there has been envugh sent in, but the greatest difficulty experienced is in distributing it. swIFT JtsTiCE METED OUT. Vengeance is swift here now. Two Hun garians were caught to-day a few miles down the river. Each had his pocket filled with finger rings, and other articles which they had stolen from the dead bodies. They were lynched. Both were left hanging to a tree. No attempt is being made to ascer tain who did it. An old farmer walked into town this afternoon with a shotgun on his shoulder. He said he had fired upon and probably killed a thief down the river who was robbing a body. soME VEPY SAD scExEs. The sad scenes will never all be written. One lady told this morning of seeing her mother crushed to pieces just before her eyes, and the mangled body carried down the stream. William Varnes lost six chil dren, and saved a babe about 18 months old. Jis wife died three weeks ago. An aged German, his wife and five daughters, floated down on their house eight miles, where the house was wrecked. The daugh ters were drowned, tut the old man and his wife stuck in a tree and hung there for twenty-four hours before they could be taken off. There was such a horrible stench in cer tain districts here to-day that it was deemed best to bury the victims as rapidly as pos sible. d hundred undertakers have been busily atprk this afternoon, and as a result there e vre"4., ayes in the beautiful cemetery a overloo e.e.ruined city to-night, and at SS least three-foul. _ of them are marked a "unknown.' Many &Jhe bodies were in such a condition, so nglgd. that couldn't have been recognized ha thei friends or relatives been present. -g was no ceremony attending the burial. bodies were simply collected in groups o from twenty-five to fifty, and then placec just as they were found, in plain coffins and hauled away.to the cemetery on larg< 22 wagons, fifteen or twenty at a time, .- The Scene of the Flood. e PrrrsnxG, PA., June 1.-The raging storms that have prevailed through Penn sylvania in the past few days have resulted e in an appali-iisteffle ... e 'Tg~of a terrible disaster is ai stwn, Pa., in Gambria county, on the ~Tatimore and Ohio Railroad and the Cone. maugh River. Two and a half miles north. 4 east of the town is a reservoir owned by o "rich fishing elub. It is the largest reser s voir in the United States, being three and a e half miles long and from one to one and a Its depth in some places is 100 feet;. It - holds more water than any other reservoir, natural or artificial, in the United States. The lake hasi been quadrupled in size by artinicial 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 the height is 110 feet. The top has a breadth s of over 20 feet. Recognizing the menace which the lake had to the region below, the South Fork club had the dam inspected ~jonce a month by Pennsylvania railroad en r Igineers and their investigation shows that a nothing less than some convulsion of nature would tear the barrier away and loosen the weapon of dah The steady rains of the past twenty-four ahours increased the volume of water in all .. the mountain streams, which were alrej ,swelled by the -lesser rains early..- nthe week. From the best informatien obtain in th na re o acod burst must have been the culmination of the struggle of water against the embankment. 1The difficulty of obtaining definite in formation added tremendously to the ex c itement and apprehension. The course of the torrent from the broken danm at the foot of the lake to Johnstown is almost eighteen miles, and with the exception of one loculi ty, the water passed through a narrow V shaped valley. Four miles below the dam lay the town of South Fork, where the South Fork itself empties in the Conemaugh river. The town contained about 2,000 in habitants. It has not been heard from, but it is said that four-fifths of it has been swept away. Fonr miles further down the Conemaugh river was the town of Mineral Point. It had 800 inhabitants, 90) per cent. of the houses being on a flat close to the river. It seems impossible at this time to hope that any of them have escaped. Six miles further down was the town of Cone maugh, and here alone was there a topo graphical possibility of the spreading of the flood and the breaking of its force. Over Two Hundred Drowned. GREESBUBG, May 31.-The latest reports plaethe nmber of drowned at 200. Over 500 persons were caught by the raging wa ters and carried upon the drift. Those res cued were carried for a distance of ten to twenty miles. Great excitement exists throughout the western portion of the State. It is impossible to reach Johnston by either rail or wire to-night. S,000) Lives Lost., SOxG HOLLOw, PA., June 1.-The first re ports cf the loss of life were entirely too low. It is believed that fully 8,000 persons have perished. Of these 700 or 800 were burned in the fiery furnace at the viaduct. Two thousand coffins have been ordered for~ the botties alheady rescued. The Flood in the James River. LYi.CHBUno, VA., June 2.-The flood an the James river is subsiding. Great dana age has been done to the crops along the line of the river, and manufacturing estab lishments in this city were flooded and had 'to suspend operation. Great Damiage Through New York. Eianns N. Y., June 2.-Startling news, involving the serious loss of life and de struction of millions of dollars worth of property, is being received here from the whole section of country between this city,j Olean, Arrsville, Hornellsville, and Addi-! son. Throughout this section nothing equal to the present floods devastation has ever been experience~d. A report from Corning says that twelve people wem' drowned there during the freshet.

Hastings at from 2,000 to 4,000-The Total Loss of Life, Accord ing to the Latest Estimates, is from 10,000 to 12,000-The Work of Burial and Relief-The Wrecked City. JoHNsTowN, PA., June 3.-The full extent of the Johnstown flood and holocaust can never be realized except by those who are called upon to witness the horrible scenes, which seem to multiply rather than dimin ish. Even conservative estimates to-day put the number of dead from ten to twelve thousand, while there is good reason to suppose that it may reach fifteen thousand, or even more. In the Adams Street school house alone over two thousand bodies have been laid out. A body is on every desk. The clothes on every cropse are rank with filth and dirt, and the dirty faces are spotted with black, slimy mud. This morning the peculiar stench of de caying human flesh is plainly perceptible to the senses as one ascends the bank of Stony Creek for half a mile along the smoulder ing ruins of the wreck, and the most skep tical now conceive the worst and realize that hundreds, aye, perhaps thousands of bodies lie charred and blackened beneath the great funera- re. /searchers wander wearily over the smok ing mass, and as occasionally a sudden shout comes over the waters the patient watchers on the hill realize that another ghastly discovery has been added to that long list of revelations that chills every heart and draws tears to the eyes of the watchers. From the banks many charred remains of victims of the flames and flood are plainly visible to the naked eye as the receding waters reluctantly give up their dead. Beneath almost every log or black ened beam a glistening skull or blanched remnants of ribs or limbs mark all that re mains of life's hopes and dreams. The streets are one sickening, foul-smelling mass of wood and debris, and the work of search ing for bodies has only fairly begun. The latest estimates put trE LOSS OF LIFE AT FROM ll),000 TO 12,000.. It is impossible to get any account of the number lost, every one is so thoroughly tired out and overcome by the weight of the dis aster as to be utterly unable to give any ac eurate details or figures. The work of identifying the dead goes on very slowly and comparatively few so far have been identified. 124 BODIES UNDER ONE DUILDING. From under a large brick school house one hundred and twenty-four bodies were taken last night and to-day, and in every corner mad place bodies are being found and buried t is fas as possible. The necessity for speedy buria is becoming manifest, and the stench mrising from the bodies is sickening. A lumber of bodies have been found with a -lehlo s.in them, showing conclusively that in the madded fright suicide was re sorted to by many. - THE LASE THAT CAUSED THE FLOOD. Several Pittsburgers, relatives of mem bers of thegSouth Fork Fishing Club, whicl owned the reservoir that caused the'disas ter, made their way with _extreme difficult: to the reservoir and have just returned here 1One of these, Harry binger, tells the follow ing stoiry: *The lake is completely dried out. The dim biroke Tn the centre at 3 o'clock on Fri day afternoon and at 4 o'clock it was dry That great body of water passed out in on< hour. Messrs. Park & Tan Buren, who wer< building a new draining system at the lake tried to avert the disaster by digging sluice way on one side to ease the 'pressur< on the dam. They had about forty men al work and did all they could without avail. The water passed over the dam about ont foot above its top, beginning at about half. past 2. Whatever happened in the way of a cloud. burst took place during Thursday night. There had been but little rain up to dark When the workmen woke on Friday morn. ing the lake was very full and rising at the rate of a foot an hour. It kept on rising un ti 'clokhe it first began breaking ovrthedam and undermining it. Men were sent .tmo four dimer durig.the 39 anthe people below of their dan ger. When the final break came at 3 o'clock there was a sound like tremendous and con. tinued psals of thunder. Trees, rocks and earth were shot up into mid-aix in great columns, and then the wave started down the ravine. A farmer who escaped said that the water did not come dgwn like a wave, but jumped on his house and beat it to fragments in an in stant. He was safe on the hillside, but his wife and two children were killed. At the present time the lake looks like a cross between the crater of a volcano and a huge mud puddle, with stumps of trees arnd rock scattered over it. There is a' small stream of muddy water running through the centre of the lake site. The break in the dam is about two hundred feet wide and there is but a small portion of the dam left on either side. No damage was done to any of the buildings belonging to the fishing club. There are but one or two small streams showing here and there in the lake. Washington Under Water. WAsHINGTON, June 2.-The bright- warm sun shone forth pleasantly in a clear sky here to-day and the northwestern and more fashionable part of the city never looked more lovely. But along a good part of the principal business thoroughfare, Pennsyl vania avenue, and in adjacent streets to the southward, there was a dreary waste of tur bid, muddy water that washed five or six feet deep the sides of houses, filling cellars and basements and causing great inconven ience and considerable loss of property. B3oats plied along Pennsylvania avenue near the Pennsylvania railroad station and through the streets of South Washington. and things wore an aspect faintly resem blingthe descriptions of scenes in cities built on canals. Along the river front the usually calm~ and peaceful Potomac was a wide roaring, turbulent stream of dirty water, rushing madly onward and bearing on its swift mov-: ing surface logs, telegraph poles, 'parts of; houses and all kinds of debris. The stream was nearly twvice its normal width and flowv ed six feet and more deep through the' streets along the river front, submergmng wharves and small manufacturing establish ments. $100 RlEWAR~D.
