To Governor James A. Beaver, Chairman. 
 
 Provision having- been made by the Commission for the preparation 
 of a full and complete history of the Conemaugh disaster of May 31, 
 1889, of the rising of the waters in other parts of the State, and of the 
 work of the Commission in the distribution of the hirge fund i^laced in 
 their hands, in making this, my report, in addition to rendering to the 
 Commission an account of the moneys which have passed through my 
 hands, I shall, as requested, for the information of the contributors to 
 the Fund, very briefly refer to the various phases of the subject, and 
 make a plain statement of the circumstances and of the work performed 
 in the way of Relief. 
 
 When I Avas called upon to act as the secretary, and to aid in the 
 executive work of the Commission, it was thought best to locate the 
 general office at Harrisburg. Governor Beaver placed at the disposal 
 of the Commission the rooms of the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill, 
 which have been occupied for this work to the present time. Before 
 the opening- of the office, all the work connected with the Commission 
 was performed in the Executive Department by the Governor and his 
 personal staff, and through that Department, and in the name of the 
 Governor, all contributions were acknowledged. For a while the cler- 
 ical work of the office was performed by clerks detailed by the several 
 heads of Departments of the State, and during all this time, in my 
 absence, the office has had the personal supervision of the confidential 
 clerk of the chairman. 
 
 Districts. 
 
 Besides the destruction in the neighboring States, the flood had 
 caused large losses in the following comities in Pennsylvania ; Bedford, 
 Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Cumberland, 
 Dauphin, Elk, Fulton, Huntingdon, Indiana, Juniata, Lancaster, Ly- 
 coming, Mifflin, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder, Tioga, Union, West- 
 moreland and York, and applications for relief have been received from 
 nearly all of them. 
 
 In some of these counties in the eastern part of the state, the loss 
 sustained was very heavy : tlie cities of Williamsport and Lock Haven, 
 Jersey Shore, LewistoAvn, Newport, and a i)art of Harrisburg, being 
 the larger settlements which were almost entirely inundated. In ma-

 terial loss, Williamsport suffered most severelj^ ; the city was covered 
 from side to side with water, the business part to a depth of from 
 four to eight feet, aud the loss to merchants was heavy and universal. 
 The g-reatest financial loss was to the lumber interests ; saw-mills 
 Avere washed away ; large yards, containing millions of feet of market- 
 able lumber, were swept clean ; the ponds were emptied of their logs, 
 and, the boom giving away, the logs collected there for the summer's 
 sawing, were carried doA^ai the river, into the bay, and many beyond, to 
 be irrevocably lost. (It may be well to say here, in reply to misstate- 
 ments on this point, that the lumbermen of this region did not make any 
 claim on the relief fund, no part of it was paid to them, and though 
 heavy losers, they contributed liberally for the relief of others. ) 
 
 Lock Haven, too, had but few buildings which Avere not inundated 
 to a depth of from two to eight feet, which was the case also with many 
 towns and villages on the banks of the Susquehanna River. The de- 
 struction was great also along some of the smaller waters emptying 
 into the river ; comparatively insignificant streams becoming raging 
 torrents, carrying away houses, barns, fences, and live stock, aud, in 
 many cases, leaving once fertile farms a barren Avaste of sand and 
 gravel. 
 
 While the aggregate loss Avas not as great along the Juniata River, 
 yet great damage Avas done and much suffering Avas caused in the many 
 A'illages and to the once fertile fields lying along that stream. 
 
 Both rail and telegraph communication Avere interrupted and the ex- 
 tent of the disaster did not become knoAA^n for sometime. GoA'ernor 
 Beaver, Avent on Saturday, June l,to Annapolis, Md., on ofticial business 
 and on the afternoon of that day heard of an u]irising of the Avaters at 
 Johnstown involving the death of a considerable number of of persons. 
 Nothing further was learned by him until noon of Sunday, when a report 
 of a great calamity reached that cit5^ The telegraph ofiices were not 
 open, and not until late in the day, when by special orders a Avire Avas 
 placed at his disposal, Avas the true state of the case known. By special 
 train, the Governor started for Harrisburg, but the track near that city 
 being in places Avashed away, he did not reach there until Monday morn- 
 ing, when he was brought in by the construction train, which had made 
 the road passable. During this day, learning to its full extent, as then 
 understood and estimated, the character of the calamity in JohnstoAVu, 
 Governor Beaver issued the folloAving proclamation : 
 
 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 
 
 Executive Chamber, 
 Harrisburg, Pa, June 3, 1889. 
 To the people of the Uniied States : 
 
 The Executive of the CommonAvealth of Pennsylvania has refrained 
 hitherto from making any appeal to the peoi:>le for their l)enefactions, 
 in order that he might receive definite and reliable information from the 
 centers of disaster during the late fioods, Avliich have been imprece-

 dented in the liistoiy of the State or Nation. Communication by wire 
 has been established with Johnstown to-day. The civil authorities are 
 in control, the Adjutant General of the State cooj^erating- with them. 
 Order has been restored and is likely to continue. 
 
 Newspaper reports as to the loss of life and i^roperty have not been 
 exaggerated. The valley of the Conemaugh, which is peculiar, has 
 been swept from one end to the other as with the besom of destruction. 
 It contained a population of 40,000 to 50,000 people, living for the 
 most part along the banks of a small river, confined within its narrow 
 limits. 
 
 The most conservative estimates place the loss of life at 5,000 human 
 beings and of property at $25,000,000. Whole towns have been utterly 
 destroyed, not a vestige remaining. In the more substantial towns 
 the better buildings, to a certain extent, remain, but in a damaged 
 condition. Those w^ho are least able to bear it, have suffered the loss 
 of everything. The most pressing needs, so far as food is concerned, 
 have been sujiplied. Shoes and clothing- of all sorts for men, women 
 and children are greatly needed. Money is also urgently required to 
 remove the debris, bury the dead and care temporarily for widows and 
 ori>hans, and for the homeless generally. Other localities have suf- 
 fered to some extent in the same way, but not in the same degree 
 
 Late advices would seem to indicate that there is great loss of life 
 and destruction of property along the west branch of the Susquehanna 
 and in localities from which we can get no definite information. What 
 does come, however, is of the most appalling character, and it is ex- 
 pected that the details will add new horrors to the situation. The re- 
 si)onses from within and without the State have been most generous and 
 cheering. North and South, East and West, from the United States 
 and from England, there comes the same hearty, generous response of 
 sympathy and help. The President, Governors of States, Mayors of 
 Cities, individuals and committees, private and municipal corporations 
 seem to vie with each other in their expressions of sympathy and in 
 their contributions of substantial aid. 
 
 But gratifying as are these responses, there is no danger of their ex- 
 ceeding the necessities of the situation. A careful organization has 
 been made upon the ground for the distribution of whatever assistance 
 is furnished in kind. The Adjutant General of the State, is there as 
 representative of the State authorities, and is giving personal atten- 
 tion, in connection with the Chief Burgess of Johnstown and a com- 
 mittee of relief, to the distribution of the help which is furnished. 
 Funds contributed in aid of the sufferers can be deposited with Drexel 
 & Co., Philadelphia; Jacob C. Bomberger, banker, Harrisburg ; or 
 William P. Thompson & Co., bankers, Pittsburgh. All money con- 
 tributed will be used carefully and judiciously. Present wants are 
 fairly met. A large force will be employed at once to remove the debris, 
 and bury the dead, so as to avoid disease and epidemic. 
 
 The people of the Commonwealth and others whose unselfish gen- 
 erosity is hereby heartily appreciated and acknowledged may be as 
 sured that their contributions will be made to bring their benefactions 
 to the immediate and direct relief of those for whose benefit they are 
 intended. 
 By the Governor : 
 
 James A. Beaver. 
 
 Chaeles W. Stone, 
 Secretary of the Commonwealth. 
 
6 Keport of the Secretary. 
 
 Knowing that the wants of the citizens of Johnstown were being met 
 by the Pittsburgh Belief Committee, and being advised of the condition 
 of the cities on the Susquehanna and the Juniata, the immediate at- 
 tention of the Governor was given to their relief. Supplies were pur- 
 chased in Harrisburg and sent at once to the submerged districts, to 
 reach which, in some cases, it was necessary to carry the food in boats 
 twice across the swollen and dangerous rivers. He also sent, by special 
 messengers, money to be distributed in the localities most seriously af- 
 fected, and while the sums thus disbursed constitute a part of the money 
 charged to the districts, the recipients are not, as a rule, included in 
 the number reported as having received help from the Commission. 
 
 Philadelphia too, as soon as the condition of affairs was learned, 
 gave itself to the active care of this part of the State. In that city 
 there is a permanent relief committee, the members of which naturally 
 gave their attention to this calamity, and by them were sent supplies 
 of all kinds and in large quantities to the several submerged districts. 
 Most active in this work were the gentlemen afterwards selected as 
 members of the Commission, who, with others, gave their personal at- 
 tention to receiving supplies, and in purchasing and sending food and 
 clothing to these localities, as well as to the Conemaugh valley. 
 
 Before the formation of the Commission there had been organized in 
 the larger towns and cities in these counties, local relief committees, 
 and it was deemed best to strengthen these and through them, under 
 instructions from and under the supervision of the Commission, to 
 distribute the moneys appropriated to the several localities. These 
 committees cared not only for the sufferers in their own immediate 
 localities, but, acting with sub-committees from other parts of their 
 districts, it became possible to give intelligent consideration to each 
 claimant as well as to search out the needy, whose diffidence or ignorance 
 of the methods prevented them from putting forward their claims. To 
 these committees were sent supplies and cash b}' individuals and by 
 local relief committees in other places in addition to that sent them by 
 the Commission, and through them were expended also such sums as 
 were appropriated by the State, under the authority of the State Board 
 of Health, for general sanitary i^urposes. In some of the places, in ad- 
 dition to the moneys distributed in a general way, specific sums were 
 sent by the Commission to the committees to be held as an " Aid Fund, " 
 to be used during the winter in helping those who, by reason of the 
 flood, might require assistance, the aid to be given as largely as pos- 
 sible in the way of supplies. This has proven to be a wise measure and 
 the general sentiment of the committees is that the help thus given has 
 been productive of more good than was possible in the distribution of 
 much larger sums during the summer months. 
 
 Harrisburg, Huntingdon, Clearfield, Emporium, and some smaller 
 XDlaces, and a number of counties had announced that they would care,

 by their own siibscriptious for the sufierers in their eomni'unities, 
 though some of these places also seut eontributious to the general 
 fund. 
 
 To the examination and verification of claims in places and along 
 streams other than before mentioned, it was intended that the secretary 
 of the Commission should give his personal attention, but his entire 
 time, later being occupied in Johnstown, this work w^as done through 
 special agents (mainly by Mr. Geo. L. Potter, of Bellefonte, Pa.) , who 
 ■called to their aid prominent persons in each locality, and recommen- 
 dations were made to him based upon the most intelligent information 
 obtainable. Such recommendations and an occasional meeting with 
 the several committees comprised the whole amount of assistance rend- 
 ered by the secretary in these districts, though no payments, except 
 in one district, were made before the papers were submitted to him, and 
 the distributions as made were thus the result of joint deliberation. 
 
 The gentlemen composing the several committees were representative 
 men in their communities, and they, in all cases, gave to the work in- 
 ielligent thought, and though they have not succeeded in giving satis- 
 faction to all, yet their work has been well done. It has been recog- 
 nized, not only by the Commission, who appropriated only $250,000 for 
 ihe sufferers in the eastern part of the State, but by the jieople of these 
 districts, that but for the great loss of life and the wholesale destruc- 
 tion of property in the Conemaugh valley which appealed to the sym- 
 pathy of the world, there would likely have been but little contributed 
 for their help. Individuals in Lycoming county may have suffered loss 
 to an equal degree with individuals in Johnstown, yet in the one case 
 ihe ordinary avocations of life in the community generally, after an in- 
 terruption of a few days, were regularly resumed, while in the other 
 there was a general breaking up of everything ; in one case the 
 more fortunate were in a position to render assistance in many ways 
 to the few who lost their all, and in the other, in the general ruin, there 
 were few who did not find it necessary to begin anew to lay the founda- 
 tions of a home and commence the work of rebuilding their fortunes. 
 Payments, therefore, have not been made in these districts with the 
 same liberality as in the Conemaugh valley, which was neither ex- 
 pected by the sufferers, nor intended by the donors. 
 
 General Relief in the Eastern Part of the State. 
 
 Applications for relief Avere made on blanks furnished by the Com- 
 mission, giving, under oath, the name of the claimant, residence, value 
 of property remaining, amount of loss classified, age, and number and 
 ages of family dependent. These, w^hen returned, w^ere examined, the 
 persons and their properties were visited by the committees or special 
 agents, information was obtained from res]ionsible persons in the neigh- 
 borhood, and an award was recommended, based on their needs and

 qualified bj^ the amount of money at the disposal of the committee. 
 As a rule, no payment was made to perscms having- a remaining" pro- 
 perty, real or x^ersonal, oi the value of $2,000, though circumstances 
 sometimes required that exceptions be made. Some of the claims were 
 remarkable as coming from a presumably self-respecting people, who 
 would only accept help when in great necessity. Claims for damag'e 
 to "vegetables in the cellar," for " damage to g-arden," for " wetting of 
 carpets, " were common, which, in view of the fact that many thousands 
 of families in the State had their homes submerged almost or quite to 
 the second floor and who have not asked for assistance, emphasises the 
 fact that many looked for money only because their neighbors had re- 
 ceived help. 
 
 The opinion largely prevailed too throughout the State, that the 
 moneys being distributed were a State appropriation for indemnifying- 
 the citizens for loss by reason of the flood, and hundreds of applications 
 were received from fairly well-to-do people, Avho, as taxpayers, urged 
 their rig-ht to participate in the distribution. Most of these, the matter 
 being- explained, withdrew their claims, thoug-h some " did not care 
 whether it was a State fund or a charity fund, they had sustained loss 
 and wanted some of the money". 
 
 By reason of the insuflicient data obtainable, no attempt has been 
 made to arrive at the total loss by the flood in these parts of the State, 
 no districts having- given full statements, and from a number of badly 
 damag-ed localities no applications for help have been received, and nc^ 
 attempt has been made by the people generally to secure even an ap- 
 proximate estimate of loss. 
 
 Renovo. 
 
 A committee consisting- of Mr. Thos. A. Roberts, Rev. J. D. Cook,, 
 Rev. J. J. Connelly, and Messrs. John Smith, Lewis Putt, George R. 
 McCrea and E. J. Swain, distributed the funds sent to that city. 
 The amount of cash distributed in Renovo was $10,095.00, of which 
 $7036.00 was sent by the Commission, and the recipients numbered 191, 
 who received sums ranging from $5.00 to $352.00. , 
 
 Lock Haven District. 
 
 The Lock Haven district, including all of Clinton county exceiit 
 Renovo, was cared for by a committee consisting of Hon. G. W. Mason, 
 Rev. H. R. Bender and Messrs. John F. Beardsley, Wm. H. Brown „ 
 Thomas Yardley, R. J. Fleming, F. M. Ross, James Brown, Chas. F. 
 Mann, Hon. J. W. Smith, J. H. Ager and Hiram Myers, who were 
 further assisted by local committees in several i^arts of the county 
 Avliich had sufl:ered severely. This district, besides large quantities of 
 supplies, received $72,174.17, of which the Commission sent $47,195.00. 
 Six hundred persons received money in sums of from $7.50 to $G00.00. 
 
Flood Relief Commission. & 
 
 Jeksey Shore District. 
 
 The Jersey Shore committee consisted of Messrs. E. D. Trump, 
 P. D. Bricker, H. B. Humes, J, S. Tomb, L. Koester and C. B. Seely, 
 who had the care of that town and the townships in their end of 
 Lycoming" county. In this district, much damage was caused along- 
 some of the smaller streams as well as in the town of Jersey Shore. 
 To this district was sent $42,801.59 of which the Commission sent 
 $35,524.06, and $7, 277.53 was received from other sources, $1,105.00 
 being- subscribed by citizens of Jersey Shore. There were 635 recipi- 
 ents of sums ranging- from $5.00 to $750.00. 
 
 WiLLIAMSPORT DISTRICT. 
 
 This district, comprising- all of Lycoming county, except the Jersey 
 Shore District, had for a committee, Hon. James S. Foresman, Rev. 
 Eugene A. Garvey, Rev. AVm. H. Graff, Rev. Edw. J. Gray, and 
 Messrs. H. R. Fleming, Elias Deemer, Fletcher Coleman, William 
 Eves, and Franklin Reading. Having- a very larg-e territory to care 
 for, and one having- suffered most severely, the work of this committee 
 was of a laborious character. On four of the members the active 
 labor devolved, who, laying- aside their own occupations, gave their 
 entire time for several months to the work, the other members meet- 
 ing- and advising with them. Under their direction was carried on the 
 work of cleaning streets and cellars, under authority of the State Board 
 of Health, and repairing and rebuilding the dwellings of those not 
 able to care for their own projoerty. They distributed enormous 
 amounts of sui^plies sent to them, and examined and'passed upon, after 
 having- made personal investigation, 2,833 claims. The amount ex- 
 pended in the district for relief was $155,911.82, of which the Commis- 
 sion sent cash $110,560.00, and also purchased supplies to the amount 
 of $4,449.20. Li addition, the Commission appropriated $5,000.00 to 
 the hospital in Williamsport, for the benefit of the District, a measure 
 Avhich seemed necessary by reason of increased demands on that in- 
 stitution resulting from the flood. There was received in this district 
 from outside sources, $24,492.25, and $20,659.57 were g-iveu by the citi- 
 zens of Williamsport. Payments were made to 2,352 persons in sums 
 ranging from $5.00 to $592.00, and annuities to the amount of $1,650.00. 
 
 TioGA County. 
 
 In Tioga county but little money was paid to individuals, the prin- 
 cipal help given being- in clearing and rendering- habitable the proper- 
 ties of those requiring assistance. The amount expended by the Com- 
 mission in the county was $1,300.00, under the ])ersonal supervision of 
 Hon. H. W. Williams. The State Board of Health also expended a 
 fair amount of money for general sanitary purposes.

 Perry County District. 
 The district of Perry county had a committee consisting- of Messrs. 
 H. H. Bechtel, B. M. Eby, J. H. Irwin, Thos. H. Milligan, W. M. 
 Horting' and Alvin Jones. Besides supplies, there was sent to them 
 in cash bj" the Commission, $7,010.00, and they received from other 
 sources $194.02. One hundi'ed and ten persons were assisted in sums 
 of from $10.00 to $400.00. 
 
 Juniata County District. 
 
 This district was cared for by a committee in Mifflintown, consisting- 
 of Messrs. E. E. Berry, E. B. McCrum and E. M. M. Pennel, with sub- 
 committees in smaller places in the county. There was sent to them 
 $3,500, of which $3,000.00 was from the Commission. Payments were 
 made to 70 persons in sums from $5.00 to $225.00. 
 
 Mifflin County District. 
 
 The Mifflin county committee consisted of Messrs. Thos. J. Frew, 
 W. H. Mendenhall, D. E. Eobinson, J. M. Goodhart, A. C. Mayes, 
 J. M. Woods, J. C. Brehman, B.C. Elder, S. S. Woods, Samuel Killian 
 Dr. H. C. Walker and C. Stewart Garrett : svib -committees acted with 
 them from the outlying districts. In this district, assistance was 
 largely given in the purchase of provisions and in repairing and re- 
 building dwellings, the loss on buildings in LewistoAvn having been 
 large. To this district was sent, l)y the Commission, $9,621.77: from 
 other sources they received $8,058.63, of which $3,179.55 was given by 
 the citizens of Lewistown. Payments were made to 241 persons in 
 sums ranging from $5.00 to $537.00. 
 
 A summary of the moneys expended in these districts, and distrib- 
 uted by the secretary in other counties in the State, is given in the 
 financial statement, and a list of the individual claimants, with the 
 amount of each loss and the sum of money paid to each, is filed with 
 the papers of the Commission, a proper receipt being filed with each 
 case. The following is a summary of moneys received in the districts 
 outside the Conemaugh valley for general relief, so far as could be 
 learned.

 Some of these districts were cut off from the rest of the State by the 
 destruction of the bridg-es crossing the streams with which they were 
 surrounded, and in all of them the food within their limits was ruined 
 by the water. There was, however, but little suffering-, as at once pro- 
 visions and clothing- were sent in abundant quantities from Philadel- 
 phia, Harrisburg- and other points. In many cases these were donated, 
 but generally they were -purchased by the several relief committees 
 with the funds placed in their hands. This too was the case Avith dis- 
 infectants, large quantities of which were sent to the different localities. 
 It is not possible to form a correct estimate of the quantity and value 
 of the supplies thus sent. It has not been possible to secure from the 
 railroad companies a statement of the number of car loads carried by 
 them, and even were such a record at command, there would yet remain 
 a very large unknown quantity, being the contributions of this kind to 
 individuals by friends widely scattered. 
 
 Deaths. 
 
 While the terrible destruction of life at Johnstown renders insignifi- 
 cant by comparison the loss of life along the other streams, yet the 
 number of persons drowned in the districts under consideration, is 
 larger than has ever been known in our State by a single inundation, 
 and in some localities, in proportion to the population endangered, the 
 loss was as great as in any part of Johnstown. The following is be- 
 lieved to be a correct list of the drowned in the several counties :

14 Report of the Secretary. 
 
 Contributions. 
 
 The contributions of the Nation and of the World, g-radually, through 
 individuals and local committees, were concentrated at four principal 
 points : In the hands of Governor Beaver at Harrisburg- ; at Philadel- 
 phia, with the permanent relief committee of that city ; at Pittsburgh, 
 with the flood relief committee there, and at New York, with their relief 
 committee. Immediately on the formation of the Commission the 
 " Governor's Fund" was transferred to it, and later the other fimds, ex- 
 cept such sums as had been sent direct to the several flooded districts 
 or expended by the committees in the way of relief, were transferred 
 to the Commission for distribution. Included in the " Governor's Fund, 
 are sums from many general relief committees, some of them being from 
 the relief committee of Boston, $150,000.00 ; of Brooklyn, $90,000.00 ; of 
 Ohio, through Governor Foraker, over $70,000.00; of San Francisco, 
 $50,000.00; of the District of Columbia, over $41,000.00; of Provi- 
 dence, Rhode Island, over $35,000.00 ; of Newark, New Jersey, nearly 
 $30,000.00 ; of Syracuse, New York, nearly $15,000.00 ; from the Legis- 
 latures of New Hampshire and Connecticut, $10,000.00 each, and from 
 citizens of Iowa through the State Treasurer, $14,526.49. The "Gov. 
 ernor's Fund" was deposited with the banking house of J. C. Bom- 
 berger, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 
 
 On June 8 and 14 the relief committee of New York sent to Governor 
 Beaver moneys to the amount of $100,000.00, which have been carried 
 on the books as part of the New York Fund, and the same committee 
 transferred to the Commission, on June 27, July 11, July 12 and Octo- 
 ber 7, the further sums of $50,000.00, $250,000.00, $100,000.00, and 
 $16,199.85, which were deposited with the Fourth National Bank of New- 
 York City. 
 
 On July 15, by formal action, the Pittsburgh Relief Committee gave 
 into the hands of the Commission $400,000.00, and on September 25, the 
 further sum of $160,000.00. These amounts Avere deposited with the 
 banking house of William R. Thompson & Co., of Pittsburgh. 
 
 The Philadelphia Relief Committee, by formal vote, transferred to 
 the Commission on July 11, $500,000, and on October 4, $100,000, 
 which amounts were deposited with the banking house of Drexel k Co. , 
 of that city. 
 
 These several banking houses had been designated by Governor 
 Beaver and confirmed by the Commission as the depositories of the 
 fund, and the moneys so deposited remained with them until recpiired 
 for the final distribution in the Conemaugh valley. 
 
 In addition to these four funds, large sums of money were sent by 
 individuals and by local committees, without passing through the 
 hands of the Commission, to Johnstown, Williamsport and other 
 places, to be distributed by the several local committees of the districts. 
 
 The names of contributors, and the amounts of their subscriptions 
 to the " Philadelphia Fund" were published in the Fuhlic Led(jer of

 that city ; similar information as to the New York Fund Avas published 
 in some of the daily papers of the city of New York ; and the Pittsburgh 
 Committee have published, in pamphlet form, the same information as 
 to their fund. In the Appendix to this report are given the amounts 
 received into the " Governors Fund," and the names of the donors, so 
 far as they were mentioned in the letters accompanying the moneys. 
 
 In the Api)endix is also given, arraug-ed by States, Cities and Towns, 
 so far as the Commission has information, the amounts of contributions 
 received into the four pi'incipal funds, and also those sent directly to 
 local committees in the flooded districts without passing through the 
 hands of the Commission. This latter has been collected as was possible 
 and is not complete — some localities having received assistance which 
 in no way came to the notice of the Commission. 
 
 Among the moneys sent to the Governor, were some accompanied by 
 requests that they be appropriated to si^ecific purposes ; this, in all 
 cases, was done, and the recipients were furnished the names of the 
 donors, and were requested to make to them jjersonal acknowledg- 
 ments. 
 
 In addition to the above, merchants in the cities gave assistance to 
 their customers in the valley, by canceling their entire claims in some 
 cases, and by largely reducing them in others ; contributions were sent 
 to individuals, churches, schools, firemen, bands, postoflice employes, 
 policemen, and by the several trades unions to members of their crafts, 
 a statement of all which it has been imjjossible to obtain. 
 
 The Cambria Iron Company received contributions from the iron- 
 working industry, which have been distributed among their own work- 
 men, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was also the recipi- 
 ent of a fund for the help of the sufferers in the employ of that corpor 
 ation. The many charitable and social organizations of the country 
 also sent special contributions for their fellow members. There was 
 subscribed and distributed by them in addition to supplies, amounts 
 as follows, as was learned from reports from officials of the organiza. 
 tions.

 The Commission. 
 
 As before in stated, the unprecedented liberality of the public re- 
 sulted in there being- collected in scattered localities very large sums 
 of money, the distribution of which was left by the donors to the judg- 
 ment of the committees to whom their money was sent. Appeals were 
 made to these several committees, to each of them at the same time, 
 not only l)y local committees in the flooded districts, but also by in- 
 dividuals, for assistance, and in giving relief there could be no unity 
 of action. Governor Beaver, too, unwilling to assume the responsibility 
 of alone deciding upon the best use to be made of the large sums Avhich 
 were pouring in upon him in an uninterrupted stream, and having his 
 time occupied in other measures of relief which were surrounded with ^ 
 many difficulties, required assistance, and after consultation with those 
 active in the other general committees, it was decided to form a Com- 
 mission for the conduct of the entire work. This was done without any 
 assurance that other funds w^ould be transferred to the Commission, 
 but the purpose primarily was to have a number of persons to decide 
 upon a i)lan for the distribution of what is known as the " Governor's 
 Fund," and, should this meet the approval of other committees, it was 
 thought their funds might eventually pass to the people through the 
 same channel. 
 
 The Commission was formed on June 12, and was composed of Hon. 
 Edwin H. Fitler, Messrs. Thomas Dolan, John Y. Huber, Robert C. 
 Ogden and Francis B. Reeves, from the Philadelphia Relief Com- 
 mittee ; Messrs. Jas B. Scott, Reuben Miller and S. S. Marvin, from 
 the Pittsburgh Relief Committee ; Hon. H. H. Cummin, of Williams- 
 13ort,as a representative of the flooded districts in the eastern part of the 
 State, and Mr. John Fulton, of Johnstown, as representing the Con- 
 emaugh valley. For reasons satisfactory, Mr. Fulton was not able to 
 give the time necessary for the work, and, in turn, a i^lace on the Com- 
 mission was urged upon Mr. Jas. McMillen, Col. John P. Linton and 
 Hon. W. Horace Rose, all of Johnstown, but none of them could so 
 arrange their affairs as to enable them to assist in the work — Mr. Rose, 
 too, as was afterwards learned, had been severely injured during the 
 flood and was physically disabled. 
 
 Mr. J. C. Bomberger, of Harrisburg, was made treasurer, and Mr. 
 J. B. Kremer, of Carlisle, Pa., was made secretary. 
 
 A careful survey of the entire flooded district Avas made by the mem- 
 bers of 'the Commission after its organization : reports were received 
 from persons specially selected for the work ; information was obtained 
 as to the needs and requirements of the several parts of the State from 
 representative men in the several localities ; meetings were held with 
 such frequency as seemed necessary ; sub committees were formed for 
 the direction of special features of the distribution, and every phase of 
 B 
 
18 Report of the Secretary. 
 
 the work has received careful consideration ; and it may be proper 
 here to say that in the exercise of their duties, the g-entlemen of the 
 Commission have given their time without any charg-e on the fund and 
 have borne their own personal expenses when eng-aged on the work of 
 the Commission. 
 
 On June 27, the Commission, after full deliberation, issued for the 
 laublic a statement of the princii)les by which they would be g-overned 
 in the distribution of the fund, which principles were closely adhered 
 to throughout the work, though the methods from time to time were 
 modified. These were in short : 
 
 " That the said fund is in the natiu-e of a charity to the needy, and 
 not as a g-eneral indemnity for losses sustained. 
 
 " That a distribution per capita would be manifestly unjust, as it 
 would go alike to the rich and poor, and alike to all sufferers, no matter 
 what their needs or the extent of their suffering's. 
 
 " That a distribution by percentage on the amount of losses would be 
 manifestly unjust, as it would result in giving- the largest sum to the 
 person having lost the most, without regard to the value of the remain- 
 ing estate of such persons. " 
 
 " That this fund cannot be used for the benefit of any private or imblic 
 corporation. 
 
 " That the fund must go only to the most needy sufferers from the 
 flood in accordance with and in the spirit of the trust impressed ujion it 
 by the donors. " 
 
 Later it was decided that no payment could be made to estates when 
 there were no minor dependants, and, on the recommendation of the 
 Johnstown Board of Inquiry and the Finance Committee, that consid- 
 eration could not be given for losses of money, book account;?, evi- 
 dences of indebtedness, or depreciation of stocks and bonds. 
 
 As the plans of the Commission became known, the funds from the 
 other general committees were placed in its hands for distribution, 
 and many local committees, in all j)arts of the country, sent to it the 
 moneys remaining in their hands, many doing so oidy after full con- 
 ference and a careful examination into the general plans adopted, and 
 some of them after having sent special committees to the meetings of 
 the Commission for this purpose, and in every case the plans of the 
 Commission have received their hearty endorsement and approval after 
 such investigation. 
 
 Johnstown. 
 
 Of the appalling disaster at Johnstown on May 31, 1889, and of its 
 causes, it is not necessary for me to speak, and the condition in which 
 the valley was left, I am not able to describe. Suffice it to say, 
 that it is the universal oi^iiiion that the most vivid descriptions, given 
 seemingly in the most exaggerated forms of speech, utterly fail to pre- 
 sent to the mind the terrible ruin and the utter desolation realized on 
 a personal examination. 
 
Flood Kelief Commission. 19 
 
 Johnstown, for this purpose, meaning- the entire Conemaug-h valley, 
 was com])osecl of a number of independent Ixnoug-hs and villag-es, in 
 some cases having- miles between them, and in others separated only 
 by an imaginary line. Communication between these villag-es was in 
 terru])ted by the destruction of bridg-es and roads, which for some days 
 was a source of much distress to the citizens and the cause of much ad- 
 ditional labor to those actively eng-aged in the work of relief. 
 
 When the waters covering- the city had so fur subsided that it was 
 jjossible for the citizens to have intercourse with each t)tlier, iilans were 
 formed for the immediate care. of the living- and for the speedy biu'ial 
 of the dead. A town meeting' was held on Saturday, June 1, and Mr. 
 A. J. Moxham, who had large manufacturing interests in Johnstown, 
 was selected to act as general chairman and manag-er of all the de 
 partments, and committees were appointed on finance, on supplies, 
 on police, on the care of the dead, and on other departments looking to 
 the general care of the community in the emergency. An attempt Avas 
 made to have the proceedings of this meeting ratified at a joint meet- 
 ing of the local authorities of all the boroughs, but it was not possible 
 to convene the members and the work was continued under this au- 
 thority without question. 
 
 iVs in the eastern part of the state, the submerged districts were di- 
 rectly and without delay cared for by Harrisburg and Philadelphia, so 
 this western commimity received the immediate attention of the city 
 of Pittsburgh. A most efficient relief committee was at once organized 
 in tliat city, one department of which, " The Johnstown Relief Corps," 
 was ]daced in charge of Mr. James B. Scott, now a member of the Com- 
 mission, who, within twenty-four hours of the disaster, started for 
 Johnstown with a corps of volunteers and a train of cars laden with 
 provisions, and having also the fullest powers from the general com- 
 mittee. It was understood that the people were to be cared for, and 
 to his judgment were left the methods, while they would fill all re- 
 quisitions made on them by him regardless of labor and cost. This 
 assurance was fully met, and even after the work in Johnstown had 
 l)assedfrom under their immediate charge, active assistance was ren- 
 dered those in authority by this connnittee. Most active and untiring 
 on this committee wei-e other members of the Commission — Mr. Miller 
 in the general management, and Mr. Marvin in the purchasing depart- 
 ment, to which they gave not only their names but their personal ser- 
 vices day and night. 
 
 Too much praise cannot be accorded the volunteer relief corps, 
 which consisted largely of men unused to manual labor, hardships or 
 privations, and who, tm the night of June 1, carried the contents of two 
 cars over a rough and dangerous path of nearly a mile that the morning 
 sun might see food |n-ovided for the hungry, and who for days and 
 weeks continued in their self sacrificing lal)or, undergoing the greatest 
 
20 Report of the Secretary. 
 
 privation and physical discomfort, and by their intellig-ent labor bring-. 
 ing order out of chaos. 
 
 This relief corps being thus active, and the local committees of 
 Johnstown realizing that the work was of too appalling* a character for 
 persons in their condition, each one either bowed with srrief over lost 
 kindred or anxiously busy in the care of what remained of their former 
 fortunes, it was decided to give the management of affairs into the hands 
 of the strangers who had hastened to their aid. At a public meeting 
 held in Johnstown, on Tuesday, Jmie 4, the whole conduct of affairs 
 was placed in the hands of Mr. James B. Scott, with authority abso- 
 lute and unconditional, the resolution conferring the authority referring 
 to him as " dictator," a title which was not accepted by him, and which 
 was immediately changed to " director. " At the same meeting, by him, 
 were appointed various committees for carrying on the work, these 
 being composed in many instances of the same persons x>reviously ap- 
 pointed, though it was found that some of those named at the meeting 
 of June 1, failed to resi3ond, having passed away with the rushing 
 waters. During the administration of Mr. Scott large sums of money 
 were expended from the funds sent to the Pittsburgh Relief Committee 
 (over $200, 000) , not only in the purchase of food and clothing, but in 
 establishing communication between the different parts of the city, • 
 in the search for and burial of the dead, in the cremation of the large 
 number of bodies of domestic animals scattered through the valley, 
 and in other measures of relief, there being as many as from six 
 thousand to seven thousand men in their employ, and nearly or quite 
 30,000 persons who required subsistence and their active work con- 
 tinued until the 12th day of June. 
 
 Governor Beaver in the meantime, besides being in constant communi- 
 cation with the general committees in both ends of the State, and 
 with Mr. Scott at Johnstown, was engaged in the Avork of devising 
 means for giving assistance to the valley through the machinery of the 
 State, and moneys having accumulated rapidly in four main centers, 
 for concentrating the work of charitable relief that, with unity of action, 
 the greatest amount of good might be accomplished. For the latter 
 object the Flood Relief Commission was formed, as mention has be- 
 fore been made. 
 
 It was found that the only constitutional method by which the assist- 
 ance of the State, as such,' could be given was through and under the 
 direction of the State Board of Health. The condition of things in the 
 Conemaugh valley, in Williamsport, and other i)laces, was a serious 
 menace to the health of the citizens and hence a public nuisance : the 
 local authorities were not able to abate it, and the responsibility de- 
 volved upon the Department of the State created for such purpose. It 
 was therefore decided that the clearing the waterways, and the removal 
 of the obstacles yet remaining in the streets, in so far as it was nee- 
 
Flood Eelief Commission. 21 
 
 essary for the purpose contemplated, should be carried on by the State 
 Board of Health, which, because of their lack of funds, was furnished 
 with means to carry on the work by the Governor, avIio secured the 
 money by his individual efforts from financial institutions in Philadel- 
 phia, and on June 12, Mr. Scott retired from active control, though he, 
 with part of his force, remained some days longer to fully explain the 
 system in vogue to his successors, and the system thus inaugurated by 
 the volunteer corps Avas continued during the whole progress of the 
 work, modified only to meet changed conditions. 
 
 Adjutant General Hastings, being in the immediate vicinity of Johns- 
 town at the time of its destruction, hastened there, and his connection 
 with the Avork is so well known that no extended reference to it is re- 
 quired. In the organization of the committees on June 4, by Mr. Scott, 
 he was made chief of the " Department of Public Safety, combining mil- 
 itary, and local and special police, " and, in addition, he was the special 
 representative of the Governor m the valley. As Adjutant General of 
 the State, in so far as military operations Avere concerned, and as the 
 representative of the Governor in carrying out the j^lans and purposes 
 of the State Board of Health, he, on June 12, assumed full control and 
 formal charge of all operations, subject only to the executive ofiicers 
 of the State Board of Health. 
 
 Of the Avork of the State, it need oidy be said that in a marA-elously 
 short time, under the general charge of Colonel H. T. Douglas, chief en- 
 gineer, and under the personal direction of Major Wm. H. Phillips, the 
 clearing aAvay of the mass of debris above the " Stone Bridge" was ac- 
 complished, and that the further removal of injurious matter continued 
 under General Hastings, and later under Captain Geo. C. Hamilton, 
 until October 12, Avhen the State Board of Health formally declared 
 the nuisance abated. 
 
 General Hastings, in addition to the duties mentioned above, as- 
 sumed a general charge of the relief Avork of the Commission so far as 
 the immediate AA^ants of the peoj^le in the A^alley were concerned, and 
 having summoned all the division and regimental quartermaster 
 and connnissary ofiicers of the National Guard, the various store- 
 houses Avere placed in their charge, and the system of supplying 
 the people Avith food and clothing Avas continued as before, mod- 
 ified as occasion required. He also continued under proper ofiicers, 
 the various departments Avliich had come into being : the Avork con- 
 nected Avith transportation, erection of buildings, storage houses, pur- 
 chasing of cofiins, etc., by the Quarter-master General's Department; 
 the guarding of the property and the preservation of order, under the 
 Department of Public Safety ; the care of the sick and injured, and the 
 proper burial of the dead, under the Medical Department ; securing a 
 record of the dead, means for their identification and the rei^lying to 
 the thousands of inquiries coming from all parts of the world by the 
 
22 RePOKT of the KEritKTAliY. 
 
 Bureau of Information ; and the care of property found, and for its re- 
 turn to the rig'htful owners, by the Department of Yahial)les ; these con- 
 stituted the princijial committees, and all were administrated with in- 
 tellig'ent care. 
 
 The several officers, being- on military duty, were on the State rolls, 
 but the employes, and all bills ccnitracted for supplies were paid from 
 the fund of the Commission. The work of the Commission was con- 
 tinued by General Hastings alone until July 2, and in connection with 
 Judge Cummin until July 8, when the management passed solely into 
 the hands of the Commission. 
 
 At a meeting of the Commission on June 27, Judge H. H. Cummin, 
 a member of the Commission, at the unanimous request of the members, 
 had ag"reed to g-o to JohnstoAvn and remain there as the executive officer 
 of the Commission. Proper blanks for the prosecution of the work of 
 distribution were prepared, and he beg"an his labors there on July 2 
 He threw into the work all his powers of body and mind, but his labors 
 were but fairly under way when he was stricken down by a sickness 
 which resulted in his death, on August 11. The seeds of the disease 
 had evidently been in his system ; he had, before going to Johnstown, 
 been most active in organizing committees and in distributing relief to 
 the suffering in his own city, and the added labor, the incessant worry 
 and the anxious thoug-ht connected with starting- properly the work 
 in hand without doubt had much to do with the rapid progress of his 
 disease. Of his character as a man, and of his noble qualities of mind 
 and heart, it is not now in place to speak ; proper tributes to his 
 memory were made by the Commission and by the finance committee 
 of JolinstoAvn, which have become part of the records. 
 
 At a meeting- of the Commission held on July 31, Judgv Cummin 
 being- then very ill, the secretary of the Commission was requested to 
 go to Johnstown to assist in his work, and later, on the death of Judge 
 Cummin, he was asked to remain there as the representative and execu 
 tive officer of the Commission. Considerations of many kinds urg-ed 
 against adding* this labor to that already assumed, but, realizing that 
 the work, fairly started, could with difficulty be carried on by one avIid 
 had not been in touch with it from the beg-inning, the consent of the 
 comjiany with which he is connected being obtained, he resumed the 
 labor and contiimed in it imtil its completion.

 The tlood absolutely destroyed all food supplies in the Valley ; there 
 were no stores for many miles around ; railroad communication was cut 
 off in every direction and hunger was an immediate reality. The 
 situation was realized by neighboring towns and cities, and at once, by 
 wagtms and by cars, as early as Saturday afternoon, June 1st, from 
 Pittsburgh, provisions were sent to supi)ly the want. With remarkable 
 
Flood Relief Commission. 23 
 
 zeal the Pennsylvania Railroad Company pushed forward the work of re- 
 building- a part of their road west of Johnstown which had been entirely 
 washed away, and by Sunday morning, June 2d, at seven o'clock, Mr. 
 Scott had at his disposal a track from Pittsburgh to the stone bridge. 
 By Monday morning- the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company had 
 repaired the breaks on their line and their cars ran into Johnstown 
 proper. In addition to the purchases made by the committees in Pitts- 
 burgh and Philadelphia, immense quantities of provisions were donated 
 and sent forward by full trains from all parts of the country so that, 
 there was no time after Saturday night, the day after the flood, when 
 there was the slightest reason to fear that there would be suffering for 
 want of food, and if any went hungry it was because they chose to do 
 so. Food was not equally easy of access to the people of all parts of 
 the valley, by reason of the want of proper means of communication, 
 but it was there in full abundance. 
 
 As soon as was possible an orderly system was effected. Main 
 storag-e depots were established at convenient points on the railroads, 
 and from these supplies were sent to the distributing stations, located, 
 finally to the' number of eig-hteen, in different parts of the valley. 
 From these latter daily reports were received of the number requiring 
 assistance and the kind of supplies needed, thus securing- a sure and 
 economical method of distribution. The valley was divided into pre- 
 cincts, the people were properly enrolled and furnished with supply 
 cards available only at the station nearest to them, and, provision for 
 the day being received, the cards were in so far cancelled, thus prevent- 
 ing- duplication. In this work Mr. Scott relied not only on the volunteer 
 corps, but he received most valuable assistance from citizens of Johns- 
 town, some of whom continued active in the commissary work until 
 the depots were finally closed. 
 
 It was necessary to furnish food not only to the inhabitants of the 
 valley, but volunteer and emj^loyed workmen were present in large 
 numbers and their wants could be supplied only from these stores. It 
 is estimated that the largest number of persons who received food from 
 the commissary on one day was about 30, 000 ; this number was g-rad- 
 ually reduced until July 2, when the number on the roll was 10,144 ; 
 by July 8 the number was reduced to 5880, and by July 15, to 2,583. 
 Money, to a certain extent, having now been distributed, on July 20 
 all persons were dropped from the rolls except widows, orphan children, 
 working g-irls who had not yet secured employment, and the aged and 
 the sick. The distribution of money being- continued, the rolls were 
 steadily decreased until October 5, when there remained on the list 
 but 464 persons. On that day these were each given supplies for ten 
 days, and the last commissary depot was closed. 
 
24 Report of the Secretary. 
 
 Clothing. 
 
 Not only was it necessary to supply food, but a large part of the pop- 
 ulation had lost all their clothing except what was on their bodies, and 
 this, after days and nights in the mud and water, had become practically' 
 worthless. In addition to the large purchases of wearing apparel by 
 the Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and other relief committees, very large 
 contributions were made by citizens in all parts of the country of both 
 new and partly worn articles of clothing. Depots Avere opened for dis- 
 tribution, and these were managed with much judgment but the dis- 
 tribution was attended with many difficulties and the result was not 
 as satisfactory as was desirable. However, the supply was unlimited 
 and it was given out without stint, and of clothing, as well as of food, 
 it can safely be said that the ])oor of that city, or of any other city, 
 have never been so abundantly supplied. 
 
 On August 17, these depots were closed, the remaining articles 
 being sorted and packed away for distribution on the approach of cold 
 weather, and in October, rather than reorganize a force for their dis- 
 tribution, they were placed in the ware-house of the Eed .Cross Associa- 
 tion, Miss Barton having consented to hand them out to the people. 
 A remaining large supply, which had been stored in Philadelphia, was 
 later sent for distribution to the " Union Benevolent Society" and to 
 the " Children's Aid Society" of Johnstown. 
 
 Of the quantity and value of supplies sent into the valley it is not safe 
 to hazard an opinion, the estimates of persons actively engaged in the 
 work differing widely. Colonel J. L. Spangler, assistant commissary 
 general, in his official report, while saying that no record was kept at 
 the time, estimates the value of supplies of all kinds distributed between 
 June 1 and July 2 at $1,200,000, while others have estimated that 
 it would not exceed $500,000.00. Besides the articles purchased by 
 the different committees, contributions from all parts of the country 
 were received, in some cases of full car loads from single individuals, 
 and of great variety. Besides food and clothing there was received 
 lumber and building material, axes, tools, household furniture and the 
 like, of the value of Avhich at the time no estimate was made. In bulk 
 there was carried to Johnstown, by the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad 
 Company, 408 car loads, of which 140 were from Pittsburgh, and by the 
 Pennsylvania Railroad Company 6,035,204 pounds, the equivalent of 
 500 full car loads, though it is estimated that, the character of the goods 
 considered, there were alxnit 1.000 car loads, and this in addition to 
 supplies carried by the Express Companies. 
 
 The following is a statement of expenditures by the permanent 
 Relief Committee of Philadelphia and by the Pittsburg Relief Com- 
 mittee, these being the only committees from whom data has been 
 received.

 Shelter. 
 The next most pressing need of the people, after food and clothing, 
 was shelter. With a hospitality of a degree only possible in a great 
 calamity, the houses left standing were thrown open to all, the only 
 question of restriction being that of capacity. Apart from the dis- 
 comfort this caused, it was objectionable from a sanitary view, and 
 other expedients were necessary. Governor Foraker, of Ohio, at once 
 sent a large number of tents, which, with others sent from the Pennsyl- 
 
26 Eepokt of the Secketary. 
 
 vania State Arsenal at Harrisburg', were placed at the disposal of the 
 people. This means of shelter, however, was not popular, and the tents 
 were used more by strangers who were present in the different forms of 
 the work of relief than by the citizens, and a more substantial kind of 
 shelter became a necessity. Owing- to the condition of the valley, it 
 was not possible to erect permanent buildings generally ; the town lots 
 were covered with a heavy deposit of earth and mud, containing both 
 animal and veg-etable matter, which woiild eventually be removed, and 
 over this an enormous accumulation of debris, and it was possible only 
 to erect temporary structures which could be placed on the hillsides 
 and on properties which had not been directly within the limits of the 
 waters. 
 
 On the first visit of the Commission to JohnstoAvn, and before it 
 was realized that the contributions would reach an amount more than 
 sufficient to meet the most immediate wants of the sufterers, at a meet- 
 ing- at which were present a number of leading citizens of the valley, 
 a form of temporary building-, larg-ely in use in some parts of the 
 country, was described by a member of the Relief Committee of Chi- 
 cago, which, it was thoug-ht, would answer the purpose, and it was 
 urged that the Commission provide large numbers of them. These 
 buildings, known as " Oklohomas," were of one room, ten by twenty feet 
 in size, and were made in sections easily put together. Another style 
 of building, known as the " ready-made house, " was also presented, 
 which was sixteen by twenty-four feet in size, and, by a partition di- 
 vided into two rooms. It was claimed by the builders that these build- 
 ing-s were always in stock to a considerable number, and that they could 
 be furnished as rapidly as they could be located and erected. Of the 
 former one hundred were purchased by the Chicago Relief Committee, 
 from the funds in their hands, and, on the 21st of June, the Commis- 
 sion contracted with the builders for one hundred of the same and one 
 hundred of the " ready-made houses. " This whole number was not 
 ready to be sent, but this was not entirely a cause of delay, as it was 
 foimd that much labor was required in their erection, and they came for- 
 ward about as fast as they could be located and erected with the facil- 
 ities at hand. These building's did not meet the expectations of the 
 (commission or of the people, and plans were i^repared for a four- 
 roomed, two-story house, sixteen by twenty-four feet in size, which, 
 while not finished for i^ermanent occupancy, could easily be made so, 
 or be used as an addition to a more pretentious building. These were 
 knowai as the " Hughes houses". 
 
 On July 3 a contract was made with the firm of Hoover, Hughes & 
 Co., for the erection of two hundred of these houses, and later for two 
 hundred more. This firm was perhaps better prepared for this work 
 than any other builders in the State, having- their own saw-mills, lum- 
 ber yards and planing mills, were larg-ely in the business of erecting- 
 
Flood Relief Commission. 27 
 
 buildings, and, besides this, were on the spot with a large force of men. 
 At the time of making the first contract with them, bids were not asked 
 from other l)uilders, time being an important element, but before 
 making the second contract, through the papers of Johnstown, bids for 
 the work were asked, but they had no competitors. The Commission 
 made it a condition, heartily responded to by the firm, that in the em- 
 ployment of laborers citizens of Johnstown should have preference over 
 all others ; the demand for labor, however, was greater than the supply, 
 and the local builders, having more than they could do on private work, 
 it was imperative that much the largest part of the work should be done 
 by men from a distance. 
 
 As these buildings were paid for from the fund of the Commission, 
 as their cost represented in many cases more than the actual loss of the 
 recipients, and as all the sufierers could not receive assistance in this 
 form, a price was fixed on them, considerably less than their actual 
 cost, and this price is included in the total amount charged as having 
 been received from the fund by those Avho chose to accept relief in this 
 way, the prices being : 
 
 For one " Oklohoma" $75 00 
 
 For two " Oklohoma" 150 00 
 
 For one " Ready Made House" 175 00 
 
 For one " Ready Made House" and one "Oklohoma", 250 00 
 
 For one " Hughes House", 260 00 
 
 A committee, under the direction of the Finance Committee of Johns- 
 town, was appointed, who received all applications for these buildings, 
 and awarded them in accordance with the merits and necessities of each 
 case, and, to a great extent, regardless of the amount of loss which had 
 been sustained by the applicant. The buildings were erected on orders 
 from this connnittee, in locations approved by them and by the State 
 Board of Health, and a competent person, employed by them, gave his 
 entire time in seeing that the buildings were located as ordered and 
 that they were erected in accordance with the specifications. 
 
 A large part of the works of the Cambria Iron Company was not in- 
 jured by the flood, and that company commencing at once the erection 
 of buildings to take the place of those carried away — this, in connection 
 with the natural advantages of the locality and the large interests in 
 property there of other character — the continuance of the city was as- 
 sured and it was early thought wise to take such steps as would open 
 the avenues of trade and assist the people to a i^osition of self-support. 
 
 Merchants in the cities were ready to furnish, in many cases, on easy 
 terms, stocks of goods, but there was a lack of store rooms, and also, 
 for sanitary reasons, of places to locate them. Early in June the 
 proper officials gave permission for the erection on a public square of 
 the city of temporary Imildings, which could remain tlnn-e for eighteen 
 
28 Report of the Secret ary. 
 
 months. A contract was made by the Commission and buildings were 
 erected Avhich accommodated forty -two stores on the first floors and with 
 offices above, which, as rapidly as they were completed, were occupied, 
 and the wheels of g-eneral business were set in motion. These build- 
 ings were formally given over by the Commission to the Finance Com 
 mittee of Johnstown and accepted by them. To the erection of these 
 buildings, from the fund of the Commission, there Avas considerable ob- 
 jection made by persons prominent in the work of relief, but the 
 wisdom of this action is now generally admitted. A statement of the 
 dwelling houses is as follows : 
 
 " Oklohomas" purchased by Chicago Committee, 100 
 
 " Oklohomas" purchased by the Commission, 107 
 
 207 
 
 " Eeady Made Houses" imrchased by the Commission, 103

 " Ready Made Houses" donated to individuals 103 
 
 " Hughes Houses" donated to individuals, 400

 Total, 710 
 
 Furniture. 
 
 Before the stores of the city had generally been opened and before 
 any money had been distributed, to meet a pressing want, contracts 
 were made by the Commission for large quantities of furniture and such 
 articles as are necessary for housekeeping. It Avas intended to dis- 
 tribute these to beneficiaries in full outfits, and, as in the case of the 
 houses, to include their actual cost in the amount charged as having 
 been received by those Avho accepted assistance of this kind. A depot 
 was established and many full outfits were sent out, but this project 
 did not prove a complete success. It was not deemed wise to purchase 
 with money from the fund of the Commission and stock a warehouse 
 with different qualities of furnishments, or even to provide any but the 
 plainest, such as would meet the necessities of people who had nothing, 
 and there was no room to gratify personal tastes. The stores being re- 
 opened, the merchants complained, and with some reason, that they 
 
Flood Eelief CoMMisyiox. 29 
 
 were subjected to unfair competition, and requisitions being continu- 
 ally made for parts of outfits and single pieces, without having the ma- 
 chinery for keeping up a continued supply, there was soon a lack of 
 some articles and a superabundance of others. The expense of care and 
 distribution becoming out of proportion to the value of the goods, the 
 depot was closed on August 1, and the articles remaining were given 
 into the hands of Miss Barton, who distributed them in connection with 
 her own siipplies of like character. 
 
 TRANSrORTATION. 
 
 Another measure of relief, which was much appreciated and which, 
 to a large extent, relieved the strain on the dwelling houses remaining, 
 consisted in carrying free, to points no matter how remote, persons who 
 could find with friends the needed rest and care which Avas not possible 
 for them in Johnstown. Private generosity was exercised also in this 
 direction, and, at the expense of individuals, of associations, and of 
 relief committees, many women and childi'en were carried to seaside 
 resorts and kei3t for weeks, where, relieved of the sights and surround- 
 ings of their stricken city, they were better able to recover from the 
 shock to which they had been subjected. 
 
 The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and its western organization, 
 the Pennsylvania Company, and the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad 
 Company were magnificent in the help extended by them. The latter 
 road had suffered to an extent by the flood, and the loss sustained 
 by the former was a large percentage of the total destruction, and 
 though, in the reconstruction of their road and in their efforts to resume 
 their interrupted business, their resources were taxed to the utmost, 
 yet they freely, Avillingly and to their own disadvantage, oftered every 
 facility to those engaged in the work of relief, and no wiser counsellors 
 or more willing workers were found than the officials of these roads ; 
 and this is true also of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the Phil- 
 adelphia and Reading Railroad Company and other companies in the 
 eastern part of the state. 
 
 For a Avliile all persons who wished to leave Johnstown were carried 
 by these roads without charge, iDasses issued being accepted both by 
 them and by othei' roads at their terminal connections ; and this same 
 liberality was shown as to freight, all " relief supplies, " from all parts 
 of the country being carried to the several flooded regions without ex- 
 pense. When the work became systematized, this was considered an 
 undue charge upon the roads and, for the protection of shippers too, 
 by agreement goods were forwarded under bills of lading at the regu- 
 lar»charges, and passengers were carried on orders issued by commit- 
 tees having in charge this service, at a reduction of one-third from 
 regular rates, and payment was made by the Commission on the return 
 of these orders. 
 
 The same liberality was extended by the Express Companies and 
 
30 Repoet of the Secketaky. 
 
 by the Western Unioii Telegi'jipli ComiJany, the hxtttir havmg g-iven 
 the use of its wires on " tioocl business, " clurins' much of the time, 
 without charge to the members of the Commission. 
 
 Aid Societies. 
 
 There existecl^in Johnstown a bi-anch of the " Chihlen's Aid Society. " 
 Being- assisted from outside the members, many of whom were heavy 
 losers and had been i>ersonally subjected to the horrors of the waters, 
 g-ave their personal daily attention to the care of those indicated by 
 their title. In addition to contributions sent to them direct, there was 
 sent them quantities of supplies from the stock sent to the Philadelphia 
 committee, and the sum of $500.00 was sent them by the Commission 
 for the continuance of their work. 
 
 A very few days after the disaster, Miss Clara Barton, President of 
 the American National Red Cross Association, with a corps of assistants, 
 went to Johnstown and entered on the work intended b}' the associa- 
 tion. For a while quartered in tents, she soon erected warehouses and 
 offices, and, until October 30, she continued actively eng^ag-ed in the 
 distribution of supplies. She also had erected, in different localities, 
 large boarding houses which were well patronized, and were indeed a ne- 
 cessity until time had allowed the re-opening of the remaining, but 
 damaged houses, of the city. To the work of this association it is not 
 necessary to more than refer as it was long-continued, and the details 
 will probably be given in extended form by the society. 
 
 Mrs. F. S. Jerome, president of the Yellow Cross National Association 
 was present during the entire summer, and g"iving- her attention chiefly 
 to the care t)f the sick and delicate children of the valley, her ministra- 
 tions will long" be remembered. 
 
 When Miss Barton was about to discontinue her work, there was 
 organized among- the citizens the " Union Benevolent Association 
 of the Conemaugh Valley," with the view of caring, dimng- the win- 
 ter, for those who mig-ht require assistance. To this society. Miss 
 Barton transferred the buildings which had been occupied by her as 
 warerooms and offices, and the supplies remaining on hand, and also 
 the infirmary buildings consistiiag- in part of the " Oklohomas" which 
 had been loaned by the Commission for the purpose. The Commission 
 assisted in the continuance of this society by paying the rental of the 
 ground on which the buildings stand, by sending- to them all the su])- 
 plies which remained of those which had been stored in Philadelphia 
 and by sending them in cash the sum of fifteen hundred dollars. This 
 society is well manag-ed and is accomplishing much good. 
 
 The Cake or the Sick and Injured.

 epidemic were entertained. The labor and care of properly disinfecting

 the district, of making house to house visitations, of informina: the 
 people as to the dang-ers and of the means that coukl be used as pre- 
 ventives, for the supplying- of proper conveniences and enforcing 
 proper restrictions, were undertaken directly by the officers of the State 
 Board of Health, and with such intelligent skill was their work con- 
 ducted that both the sick, as to malarial diseases, and the death rate 
 of the valley durihg the summer, were but little, if any, increased. 
 
 During the progress of the flood many persons were bruised and in - 
 jured who required surgical attention, and large numbers of persons, 
 by reason of fright, exposure and nervous shock, needed medical treat- 
 ment, and for these a hosi^ital service was at an early day established. 
 Hospitals were improvised, under the care of local and visiting phy- 
 sicians, who also visited and cared for patients at their places of abode. 
 
 The Philadelphia branch of the " Red Cross Society" sent out a corps 
 of physicians who established and conducted a hospital at their own 
 expense until the late Autumn, when it Avas transferred to the proper 
 officials in Johnstown, and the Permanent Relief Association of Phila- 
 delphia appropriated the sum of ten thousand dollars to provide for its 
 future continuance under the charge of the local physicians, (which sum 
 was thought to be sufficient for its maintenance until the Memorial 
 Hospital, to be erected by the Commission could be completed) , under 
 whose care it has been and continues to be a most useful measure of 
 relief. 
 
 The Commission, recognizing the fact that this character of relief 
 will be a necessity for a long time to come, set apart the sum of forty 
 thousand dollars for the erection and equipment of a hospital for the 
 district, and a Committee of its members is now engaged on this work. 
 It is intended also, that this shall be of a memorial character, commemo- 
 rating the wonderful generosity not only of our own Nation but of the 
 World. 
 
 BUKIAL OF THE DeAD. 
 
 Both for sanitary and humanitarian reasons, of equal importance 
 with providing for the wants of the living, was the speedy and proper 
 burial of the dead. This at first was difficult, owing to want of imple- 
 ments, conveniences and material, and to the large immber of bodies 
 requiring- attention. At the j&rst citizens' meeting', on June 1, a com- 
 mittee consisting of Rev. D. J. Beale, D. D., and Rev. H. L. Chapman, 
 D. D. , was placed in charge of this work, who were continued under Mr 
 Scott and General Hastings, and the service i^erformed, the circum- 
 stances considered, was of a most satisfactory character. As supplies 
 and assistance could be obtained, the bodies Avere embalmed, were 
 properly robed and i^laced in coffins, a large sxipply of which reached 
 Johnstown on Monday, June 2. Opportunity was given for identifi- 
 cation, but from the number of morgues, of burial places, and the gen- 
 
32 Report of the Secretary. 
 
 eral difficulties connected with the work of burial, it was inevitable that 
 some confusion of numbers should occur — a matter of most serious re- 
 gret to all connected with the work. Unfortunately too, bodies were 
 recog-nized and buried under the names of persons who afterwards were 
 found to be living, and when it was too late for a reexamination, and 
 the correction of such a mistake was almost impossible. In many 
 cases, articles of clothing, jewelry, valuables, papers, etc., properly 
 numbered as of the number of the body, were used to advantage later as 
 a means of identification. 
 
 Temporary cemeteries were located at convenient places and many 
 bodies Avere interred in the regular cemeteries of the valley, and it may 
 be gratifying to many to know that, though it has been otherwise re- 
 ported, this work was conducted with great care ; the bodies were not 
 thinly covered with earth, subject to the ravages of animals, but Avere 
 buried to a safe depth. The burial grounds were enclosed and properly 
 guarded, and later, when the bodies were all raised for reburial, it was 
 found that no one of them had been molested. 
 
 The bodies which were carried down the river Avere recovered and 
 cared for by persons employed by the State Board of Health, aa'Iio pa- 
 trolled and thoroughly examined the stream as far as Avas necessary. 
 These bodies Avere given into the care of local undertakers, and, better 
 facilities being present, by them embalmed, decently robed, placed in 
 caskets and buried in grounds furnished by the county officials. In 
 some cases, photographs were taken of the bodies, and it is to be re- 
 gretted that this means of possible identification had not been generally 
 adopted as far as it Avas practicable. 
 
 The Avork connected with the care of the dead Avas practically finished 
 Avhen the Commission assumed charge, though the expenses connected 
 Avith it Avere paid from the funds of the Commission, it being felt that 
 this most sacred use of the offerings of the people Avould receiA^e the 
 fullest approval of the contributors. 
 
 Reburial or Dead at " Grand Yiew." 
 
 From a conversation with Mr. Herman Baumer, of JohnstoAvn, as to 
 the best means of identifying as many as possible of the large number 
 of unknown bodies, originated the idea of removing from their scattered 
 resting places all the bodies, and interring tliem at one place. Having 
 carefully considered all the details, the matter Avas referred to the Com- 
 mission, and their secretary Avas given authority to carry on the Avork 
 to comi)letion. From the cemetery company of " Grand VieAv" was se- 
 cured a beautiful plot of ground, of about 22,000 square feet, high up 
 above the ruined city, for Avhich was paid only enough to Avarrant the 
 lierpetual care of the ground, the deed being held by the mayor of 
 JohnstoAvn, as trustee. 
 
 A committee Avas formed consisting of men heartily interested in 
 
Flood Belief Commission. 33 
 
 the work, one of the members being- INIr. J. M. Shumaker, who, having 
 spent much time in a search for the body of his wife, seeing- in this 
 phm a prospect of success, gave to it his undivided time and attention, 
 and to him the Commission is largely indebted for the very satisfactory 
 manner in which the work was carried out, and, although thirty-six 
 bodies were identified during the progress of the work, it is to be re- 
 gretted that his hopes were not realized and he is yet ignorant of the 
 resting place of his wife. 
 
 During the removal of the bodies, notice having been given through 
 the daily papers, very large numbers of persons were present ; careful 
 examination of each body was made, articles of clothing were compared 
 with the records, and a new description of those not identified was re- 
 corded and numbered in accordance with the grave on " Grand View. " 
 A statement of the number of bodies raised, of those identified, and 
 of those reinterred from the different cemeteries, is given later in the 
 Summary of the Dead. 
 
 Of this committee, the secretary of the Commission is chairman, 
 and it is their purpose, from the money furnished them by the Com- 
 mission, to continue the burial of bodies in the plot as they may be 
 found, to place a marble marker at the head of each grave, and event- 
 ually, if funds should be available, to erect a suitable monument to the 
 "Unknown Dead." 
 
 It is gratifying to know that, hoAvever much difference of opinion 
 may have been expressed in every other department of the work, no 
 one, as yet, has objected to the expenditure of the money required for 
 this purpose. 
 
 General Relief. 
 
 In addition to and growing out of the foregoing departments, was 
 much to which only general reference need be made. Buildings for 
 the use of the commissary were erected, both receiving sheds, storage 
 depots, and distributing buildings ; also buildings for the furniture and 
 clothing depots, for the morgues, in part, and to meet other wants of 
 the people. Eire engines were borrowed from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, 
 and Allegheny, and some of them Avere kept in service until the city was 
 provided with apparatus and the local companies were reorganized, the 
 expense being in part borne by the Commission, but mainly by the 
 Johnstown Finance Committee, and, until the necessity gradually 
 passed away, there were committees having particular care of special 
 departments of the general work, appointed as occasion required, and 
 all having in view the general good. 
 
 Teams in large numbers were required for carrying supplies to the 
 
 different parts of the valley ; the number of employes in the different 
 
 departments — commissary, medical, police, buildings and others — from 
 
 the nature of the case, as before explained, was necessarily large, and

 the pay-rolls for these form a cousiderable item in the total amount ex- 
 pended. In a well established business, the different departments 
 being- the result of normal o-rowth and having- employes trained for their 
 several positions, an equal amount of work could be done with less 
 expense, but all circumstances considered, no intelligent criticism is 
 warranted on this point. 
 
 The Avages paid in all the departments were larger than could have 
 been commanded in a regular business, but, apart from the necessities 
 of the case, this was not a serious matter, the difference not being large, 
 and the employes, as far as was possible, having been selected from 
 sufferers by the flood. In the whole conduct of the work, reductions in 
 the working- force were made as rapidly as was possible, the sacredness 
 of the trust being- continually in mind. 
 
 The Drowned. 
 
 Statements heretofore made by the Commission, and published by 
 others, as to the number of persons drowned in the Conemaug-h valley 
 are not correct, even though they were coined from the records, as, even 
 at this time, chang-es are being- made with added information. Largely 
 exaggerated as were the reports at the time of the loss of life, they 
 were excusable, for, to persons who were acquainted Avith the location of 
 the thicky settled part of the valley, the great Avonder is that so many 
 escaped. The location being unfaA^orable for easy escape from the 
 waters let loose from the dam above, the difiiculty Avas greatly increased 
 by reason of a general inundation Avhicli existed prior to the breaking- 
 of the dam. Nearly the AA'hole city Avas already submerged to a dejitli 
 of from tAvo feet to ten feet, and even had timely Avarning been given 
 of the impending dang-er, the result would have been but little changed, 
 as escai)e throug-h the streets Avas jiractically, by reason of the high 
 Avater, cut off. The most careful investigation, continued to the present 
 time, shows the number to have been 2,142. That is, it is known that 
 persons to this number Avere in Johnstown at the time of the flood avIio 
 have not been heard of since as being- alive. Some of these may be 
 living and may yet be discovered, but the number given above is not 
 likely to be much reduced. It is probable, too, that the number lost is 
 slightly more than this, but as the additional number could only l)e 
 composed of persons temporarily in the city, and Avho had not formed 
 acquaintances or become so identified Avith a neighborhood as to be 
 missed, it necessarily cannot be large. Reduced as is this number 
 from the original estimates, it is yet the record of a frightful loss of 
 human life and one that will go doA\'n in history as one of the greatest 
 calamities happening to the English speaking- people. No one fact 
 presents to the mind so clear a ccmception of the horrors of the disaster 
 as that ninety -nine families, numbering from tAvo to ten members each, 
 Avere entirely Avashed aAvay. 
 
Flood Relief Commission. 35 
 
 The bodies of all will never be recovered ; besides those burned in 
 the terrible conflagration above the "stone bridge," many are buried 
 deep under the sands of the stream, and others have been carried 
 by the current far down into the Father of Waters to be buffeted 
 and finally wasted away. Bodies supposed to have been washed 
 from Johnstown were taken from the Ohio River as far down as Cin- 
 cinnati, but the finding- of bodies in that river is not an unusual oc- 
 currence and there was nothing in these cases to connect them with 
 this catastroi)lie. The greatest distance to which a body is known to 
 have been carried was Steubenville, Ohio, where a body was taken from 
 the river, identified, and returned to the family for burial. 
 
 Of "flood widows" there are 124. Of these, seventeen were non- 
 resident, one of them being in Austria, one in Prussia, one in Hungary, 
 two in England, six in different parts of Pennsylvania, one in Maryland, 
 and of those whose husbands were among the lost of the passengers of 
 the "Day Express," three are in points in Pennsylvania, one in Mary- 
 land and one in New Jersey. Two of the widows have since re-married, 
 one of them before the time of making distribution, and five widowers, 
 of whom there were 198, have taken to themselves wives. 
 
 The. orphans and half orphans reach the number of 565. AVhile 
 both the Commission and the Children's Aid Society-of Johnstown, re- 
 ceived hundreds of letters from i)ersons willing to adopt such children 
 but one case has been reported of actual adoption. 
 
 In the summary folowing are given the totals, reached after the full- 
 est investigation, and which are substantially correct, and also a state- 
 ment of the bodies reinterred in the ]>lot of the Commission in Grand. 
 View Cemetery.

 Distribution of Cash. 
 
 For the several departments of relief, before referred to, nothing' 
 was required but the application of good business principles and meth- 
 ods, so far as was possible under the circumstances, but it soon be- 
 came apparent, even to those who most strongly objected to giving 
 relief except in the way of providing the different articles necessary 
 until self-support became possible, that a cash distribution would be 
 required. This not only because of the very large sums of money 
 which were accumulating, but because also of the necessities of the case 
 to which reference has been made, viz : that a continued meeting of the 
 wants of the people as to food, clothing and shelter, after the avenues 
 of trade were opened and opportunity was given to all to earn their 
 living, tended to pauperizing the community, interfered with the reg- 
 ular conduct of the business of the ijlace, and, more than all, that it 
 benefited most those, who joerhaps least felt the effects of the general 
 destruction. 
 
 How to make the distribution was a problem to which was brought 
 
38 Eepout of the Secretary. 
 
 more anxious tliougiit uiul Ccueful deliberation than was required in 
 all the other work. Precedents Avere not available as a guide. No 
 such charity sum had ever before been distributed in. cash, and in 
 the meag-re reports of smaller distributions there was shown so much 
 dissatisfaction, that they could hardly be said to have been a success. 
 The opinions of Avise men differed widely ; without having- considered 
 the matter from all sides, it Avas " hoped that the Commission Avere 
 not correctly reported in that they proposed to give consideration to 
 any l)ut the poor, " and " had the business men of the country knoAA^n 
 that merchants Avere not to be relieved and given a fresh start, the con- 
 tributions of the business men Avould have been distributed by them- 
 selves, " and " the calamity A\'as a common one, all Avere affected by it 
 and all should be assisted to varying- degrees ;" such and other opinions 
 were heard from all sides and from i^ersons Avhose judgment was en- 
 titled to consideration. All agreed that the money should be paid out 
 speedily ; had the amount to be distributed been only large enoug-h to 
 have g-iven to each sufferer sufficient ready money to meet i^ress- 
 ing" Avants, it doubtless should have been paid out as soon as a 
 list of the sufferers could have been secured, but as the appropri- 
 ation meant to the recipient, in some cases, a recouping- of his Avhole 
 loss, and in others a larg-e but varying- proportion, other considerations 
 became of equal importance Avitli that of haste. Much complaint AV^as 
 made by some people of JohnstoAAai and by some correspondents to the 
 public press, of the long- time consumed in distributing the moneys sent 
 to the Commission, but it AA^as Avithout a full knoAA-lege of the difficulty 
 of securing even a list of all the sufferers, or appreciation of the amount 
 of labor involved in the work ; and it is Avorthy of remark that scA^eral 
 funds, small as compared with the Commission fund, but larg-e as to the 
 l)eople, Avere not distributed until after the distribution of the fund of 
 the Commission Avas completed, and one fund, subscribed at the same 
 time that the moneys of the Commission were received is still (May 
 29) in the hands of a committee for distribution. The aim of the 
 Commission, and of the several committees in charge of the fund, has 
 been to do the Avork Avell and as quickly as possible ,but not to sac- 
 rifice thoroughness for haste. 
 
 Various plans were proposed to the Commission, all based on in- 
 formation more or less accurate, and all providing for giving a specific 
 sum to each of certain persons, by classes, regardless of loss and 
 based only on their necessities, and a percentage on the property loss 
 of others, arranged also by classes. This general system of classifica- 
 tion Avas adopted and kept in vieAv all through the Avork, but it Avas 
 found that there were so many cases in each class that required ex- 
 ce])tional consideration, that it finally became to a large extent an ad- 
 justment in each case, based upon many and important considera- 
 tions. The opinions of the members of the Commission, and of those 
 
Flood Belief Commission. " 39 
 
 active in the work, were modified by experience, and while the gen- 
 eral princi^jles were maintained, the details were changed several times, 
 but as each change was to the advantage of the more helpess part of 
 the community, criticism of the delay occasioned was disarmed. 
 
 At the citizen's meeting held on June 1, a Finance Covimittee was 
 appointed to take charge of moneys sent direct to Johnstown. Some 
 of the persons named on the committee having been drowned, a new 
 committee was appointed on June 4, by Mr. Scott, consisting of the 
 surviving members of the former committee with several new mem- 
 bers, and this committee has continued to this time as the chief com- 
 mittee on the work of relief in the Conemaugh valley. It is composed 
 of Mr. James McMillen, Cyrus Elder, Esq., Mr. A. J. Moxham, Mr. 
 George T. Swank, Mr. W. C. Lewis and Mr. John D. Koberts. They 
 are all representative men, who enjoy the confidence of the community, 
 and who have given their untiring attention to the wants of the people. 
 
 Pee Capita Distkibution. 
 
 . To this Finance Coimnittee moneys were sent from all parts of the 
 country, and from this fund was made the first cash distribution. The 
 plan submitted to the citizens at a public meeting and approved by 
 them, contemplated paying to each person in the valley, who had in 
 any way sufiered loss by the flood, and without regard to the amount 
 of loss or to the necessities of the recipients, the sum of ten dollars, 
 the payment to be made by checks and through the heads of families. 
 
 This payment was made on July 8, before which time there was but 
 small opportunity to use money, and it certainly proved to be a wise 
 measure of relief 
 
 Payments under this per capita distribution, or " head money" as it 
 came to be called, and by Avhicli name it will be referred to, in many 
 cases amounted to as much or more than had been lost, and the re- 
 cipients making no further applications for assistance, the records of 
 the Commission do not show the number of i^ersons to whom this dis- 
 tribution was luade. From the applications made for further relif f, 
 there is knowledge, however, of 4,616 heads of families and persons 
 not dependent on others, who participated in the distribution and who 
 received $148,890.00. The different amounts received are included in 
 total sums with which the claimants are charged as having received the 
 from the contribution of the j^eople. 
 
 At about the same time, a distribution of some $5,200 was made by 
 the mayor of the city of St. Louis in person, such being the request of 
 the donors of his fund, and a further distribution of $16,929.30 by repre- 
 sentatives of the New York " World" , it being a fund collected by that, 
 paper. These sums, as well as the moneys received by the people 
 from the various orders and organizations of the country, were not 
 enquired into nor noted in any way, but a fund of $5,000.00, sent from 
 
40 Report of the Secretary. 
 
 the funds in the hands of the relief committee of Pittsburgh, and dis- 
 tributed by a local committee among- the sufferers in the village of 
 South Fork, is so noted, and the amounts received from it by individuals 
 are included in the records of the Commission. 
 
 First Distribution by the Commission. 
 
 For the purpose of securing a list of the sufferers and a knowledge 
 of their several losses, under the direct charge of the Johnstown 
 Finance Commiftee, a "Board of Inquiry" was establislied. This 
 consisted of Hon. John Hannan, John H. Brown, Esq. , Mr. Samuel 
 Masters, Captain H. H. Kuhn, Rev. E. W. Troutwine and Mr. Tom. 
 L. Johnson, of Cleveland, Ohio, but press of business on the i)art of 
 Mr. Johnson, the care of a large parish on the part of Rev. Troutwine, 
 and the active duties of the commissary over which Captain Kuhn had 
 been placed, required these gentlemen to withdraw from the board, 
 and the work devolved upon the other three members, who continued 
 it to the end, and, having had almost daily consultations with them dur- 
 ing the whole progress of the work, I take this opportunity of bearing 
 witness to the uniform honesty of purpose, and endeavor to act justly, 
 which characterized these gentlemen, occupying as they did, a 
 l^osition the most trying which could be assumed by the citizens of a 
 community. 
 
 The valley was divided into eighteen districts, and from each dis- 
 trict was selected a "local committee," these being:

 Blanks were prepared and the sufferers of each district g"ave a state- 
 ment of their loss, names and ag-es of their family dependant, and the 
 value of their property remaining These statements were then ex- 
 amined by the several " local district committees, " information was 
 g-ained in many ways, and their estimate of the loss was noted on 
 the same blank, which was then handed over to the " Board of In- 
 quiry," who from the data thus obtained classified the applicants 
 for relief. These blanks show evidence of conscientious careful work 
 on the part of some of these committees, and of haste and careless- 
 ness, on the part of others. 
 
 It was expected that these blanks would furnish an absolutely correct 
 list of the drowned, but different members of a family, in their state- 
 ments-, would mention the death of the same person, as father, mother, 
 sisters, brothers, etc., and the relationship of all not being known they 
 were but a help. 
 
 By July 9 the " Board of Inquiry" had secured, as was thoug-ht, a 
 full list of all claimants and a knowledge of their necessities, there 
 having been placed in Class 1, 205 persons ; in Class 2. 237 ; in Class 
 3,372, in Class 4, 1,168, and in Class 5, 1,698, and on the earnest 
 appeal of the Finance Committee of Johnstown it was decided by the 
 Commission to make a cash distribution. The sum of $500, 000 was 
 placed in the hands of Judge Cummin to be distributed in accordance 
 with the principles adopted by the Commission, l)ut as the payment 
 was to be on " account" it was tacitly understood that he would honor 
 all orders issued by the "Board of Inquiry" to persons in the first five 
 classes. The " Board of Inquiry" had divided the claimants into six 
 
42 Eeport of the Secretary. 
 
 classes ; the first three being- based ou theu' necessities only — the most 
 hel[)less being- in Class 1 and the last three being based on their losses, 
 the least necessitous being in Class G ; they recommended payment as 
 follows : To persons in Class 1, $600 ; Class 2, $400 ; Class 3, $200 ; Class 
 4, $125 ; and Class 5, $80. No payment was made to persons in 
 Class 6 in this distribution. 
 
 On July 18, the payments were commenced. Each claimant obtained 
 from the "Board of Inquiry" an order on the Commission for the 
 sum of money being paid to the class in which he had been ydaced, 
 and presented it at the rooms of the Commission for payment. This 
 system was utilized for obtaining- from the claimants statements on the 
 blanks prepared by the Commission, which, under oath, set forth the 
 name, age, residence, condition of health, and income of the claimant ; 
 his assets, both in real and f)ersonal property before the flood, and his 
 estimate of his loss ; the number, ages, and sex of persons dependent 
 upon him, the members of his family who were drowned, and the 
 amount of assistance before received from the fund. (Objection being- 
 made by some professional and salaried men to disclosing the amount 
 of their income, the rule as to answering- concerning this was not 
 strictly enforced.) These statements being' filled out and sworn to, 
 the Commission having- emploj'ed a sufficient number of clerks and 
 notaries public for the service, the orders as f) resented were cashed, 
 unless the statements as finally made indicated that the order was 
 larger in amount than was intended under the circumstances, when the 
 applicant was required to return it to the " Board of Inquiry" for a final 
 decision. 
 
 Judge Cummin being confined to the house by illness soon after this 
 liayment commenced, for some days the cashing- of the orders was at- 
 tended to by Mr. AVilliam B. Thompson, of Pittsburgh, with whose 
 banking- house the money for the purpose had been deposited. 
 
 There was but one Bank remaining in Johnstown ; it had been flooded 
 to a depth of some twenty feet, its contents were as might l)e expected 
 from being exposed to water and mud, its floor si)ace was limited, and 
 its directors did not feel able to add to their more than crowded work 
 the care of this fund. The payments therefore were made in a tem- 
 porary frame building, the i)lan being both unsatisfactory and unsafe, 
 but after some days an arrangement was affected with the Bank 
 by which they agreed to accept money from the Commission on de- 
 posit, and to cash checks issued against it, the Commission agreeing- 
 to rent a suitable banking room, and to pay the salaries of a teller and 
 a watchman, and from that time all payments from the fund of the 
 Commission to persons in Johnstown have been made by checks on that 
 bank, the expense of rental and clerical services having ceased on 
 December 9th. 
 
 Under this i)ayment known as the "first distrilmtion," orders from 
 
Flood Belief Commission. 43 
 
 the " Board of Inquiry" were cashed to the number of 3,739, amountm^ 
 to $416,472, the payments being continued as rapidly as the orders 
 were issued, but there was so much dehiy on the part of some of the 
 claimants that it Avas necessary to fix a time, August 31, after which 
 orders not presented would be carried forward and paid with the 
 amount awarded at the next distribution. 
 
 A few orders were issued and payments made to persons who later 
 were found not to have been entitled to any help ; in some cases the 
 amounts were refunded with the expense of attorney's fees only, and 
 in one case it was not possible to recover the amount. 
 
 As in the " head money" so it was found that many persons by the 
 payment made under the " first distribution" had received as large a 
 proportion of the fund as was required by their circumstances, and to 
 such no further payment was made. 
 
 " Final Distribution" by the C-ommission. 
 
 At a meeting of the Commission held on September 13, an appro- 
 priation of $1,600,000 was made for distribution in the Conemaugh 
 valley, fixed proportions being designated for the several classes ; this 
 is known and referred to as the " final distribution" 
 
 To this time, and even much later, applications for assistance were 
 received on the blanks i)rovided by the Commission from persons who 
 had not made statements to the local committees. Many of these 
 Avere without merit, but all Avere considered and examined into, and 
 many Avere found to be Avorthy, and their neglect Avould have been most 
 luifortunate. One " flood AvidoAv" A\diose husband was a passenger of the 
 "Day Express," made her first application for assistance as late as 
 March 20, 1890, (and one in Lycoming county as late as April 3,) 
 Avhich, in view of the publicity given to the proceedings and the require- 
 ments of the Commission, is quite unaccoimtable. The number of state- 
 ments finally on file amounted to 6,229. 
 
 The distribution of this $1,600,000, Avas ordered to be made in a gen- 
 eral way on the basis recommended by the Finance Committee of Jolins- 
 toAvn, Avhich provided that a fixed average sum be paid to each person 
 placed in the first three classes, and that a x)ercentage of their losses, in 
 varying proportions, be paid to those placed in the other three classes. 
 This Avas, hoAvever, modified in that it Avas decided to re-arrange 
 Class 6, leaving in it only such persons as had sustained but trifling 
 loss, young persons Avithout dependents Avhose losses could not be said 
 to liave rendered them needy, and those avIio, hoAvever great had been 
 their losses, Avere yet possessed of such means that they could not be 
 regarded as in need of relief, and that to this class no payment should 
 be made. 
 
 It Avas estimated from the data obtained tliat there could be paid to 
 persons in Class 1 an average of $1,200, in Class 2, $900, and in Class 
 
44 PvEPOllT OF THE SECRETARY. 
 
 3, $500, and to persons in Class 4 an average of abont thirty per cent. , 
 and in Class 5 of about ten per cent, of their respective losses. 
 
 With this as a general basis the Johnstown " Board of Inquiry" by in- 
 dependent action, reviewed their Avork, and on October IG, submitted 
 a schedule of amounts which they recommended to be paid to 3,415 
 persons This, however, was based on an absolutely fixed percentage 
 which did not allow for differences in circumstances within the classes, 
 and at a meeting of the Commission on October 22, more definite in- 
 structions were given, based also on the information gained in thi& 
 trial sheet, and which provided that where property losses were con- 
 sidered, subject to variations in each case, there could be paid to persona 
 in the more dependent class as follows : 
 
 To those whose losses were not exceeding $500 — not more than $400. 
 
 To those whose losses were over $500 and not exceeding $1,000 — not. 
 more than $G00. 
 
 To those whose losses were over $1,000 and not exceeding $2,000 — 
 not more than $800. 
 
 To those whose losses were over $2,000, a pro-rata proportion of th© 
 amount remainine* of the appropriation made to the class, but no per- 
 son to receive more than $6,000. 
 
 And to persons in the less dependent class there could be paid : 
 
 To those whose losses were not exceeding $500 — not more than $200. 
 
 To those whose losses were over $500, and not exceeding $1,000 — not 
 more than $350. 
 
 To those whose losses were over $1,000, a pro-rata projiortion of the 
 amount remaining of the appropriation made to the class, but no per- 
 son to receive more than $2,500. 
 
 To this time the work of the " Board of Inquiry, " and of the rej^resent- 
 ative of the Commission, while in accord and in the same direction, had 
 been carried on independently of each other, but now a joint revision 
 and again a second review were made, and each case was acted upon and 
 a sum apportioned, based upon its special circumstances as presented by 
 the several statements lief ore them, supjilemented by such informa- 
 tion as could be obtained from other sources. The amount to be paid, 
 having been agreed upon, checks were mailed to the persons as rapidly 
 as it w^as thought by the officers of the bank they could be paid, the pay- 
 ments commencing on October 9, as to widows, and on the regular list 
 on October 23 ; the last regular payments were made on November 14, 
 though as hereafter stated, checks were issued at later dates. The list 
 being completed, another review of all the cases was made with the 
 view of equalizing to the fullest degree possible, the amoiuits given 
 to suft'erers under like circumstances, and additional checks were sent 
 to a number of persons. 
 
 Complaints and requests for further help were received from many 
 
Flood Relief Commission. 45 
 
 persons which, when made in writing, were in every case considered in 
 connection with the "Board of Inqniry, " and if on further examination 
 there appeared reasons, before unknown, for further consideration, the 
 xelief was granted. A summary of the payments is given below, the 
 original papers, with the tabidated results, being filed with the records 
 of the Commission for such disposal as they may decide to make of 
 them. 
 
 " Flood Widows. " 
 
 To the women made widows by the flood, sums were first paid, which 
 averaged to them about $1,200, each. A further payment was made to 
 them, based on the circumstancesof each, which increased this average 
 to about $1,500. One widow declined to accept anything from the fund, 
 and one was married before the distribution was made. To those living 
 in foreign countries such sums were given as were thought by their 
 countrymen who were consulted, about the equivalent, all things con- 
 sidered, of the amounts paid to widoAvs who were not residents of Johns- 
 town, and who did not, for obvious reasons, receive as much as persons 
 in like circumstances, who, in addition to the loss of their husbands, 
 were subjected to the discomforts and hardships of living in this for a 
 time disorganized community. The number of widows is 124, and the 
 amount received by them as by the records is $183,281.00, in addition 
 to which there has been set aside for their children a sum which, when 
 paid, will amount to $108,500.00. 
 
 "Orphans." 
 
 For the care of the children made orplians by the flood, it was de- 
 cided to appropriate moueys to be paid at fixed intervals rather than 
 to make payment at one time of the whole amount determined for their 
 use. An arrangement was made with the Girard Life Insurance, An- 
 nuity and Trust Company of Philadelphia by Avliich they agreed to al- 
 loAv a fair rate of interest, compounded annually, on such sum of money, 
 as with its accretions, would jDermit to be paid to each orphan the sum 
 of $50.00 annually, until they shall reach the age of sixteen years. Pay- 
 ments therefore of $50.00 will be made on November 1, of each year to 
 their parents or guardians for each orphan under the age of sixteen 
 years, through the First National Bank of Johnstown, arrangements 
 to this efl:'ect having been completed. The amount required for this 
 })urpose was $119,616.88. 
 
 Losses. 
 
 The amount of loss in the Conemaugh valley, as given in the sworn 
 statements of the claimants, reaches the sum of $9,674,105.00. The 
 estimate, however, made by the several local district committees is 
 about one fourth less than this, and is probably nearly correct. Li ad- 
 dition to the above, heavy losses were sustained by corporations who 
 
46 Repokt of the Secretary. 
 
 did not make statements to the Commission ; an effort was made by 
 tlie " Board of Inqniry" of Johnstown to obtain fair estimates of such 
 losses, and the statement below presents the result, which, while not 
 full nor official, is the most complete available : 
 
 Loss of claimants as by sworn statements, $9,674,105 
 
 Estimate of losses to boroug"h property, $164,630 
 
 Estimate of losses to school property, 48, 607

 Summary. 
 
 The number of persons who participated in the several distributions, 
 with the total amounts received by them is as follows. As said before 
 as to the first two items the list is not complete, it covering- only those

 The labor involved in deciding" upon the merits of the various claims 
 and upon the amounts to be awarded, Avas very great, and a fair adjust- 
 ment was attended with many difficulties. While the swoiii statements, 
 as to the amount of loss and of property remaining, are a protection to 
 the Commission, yet it was soon found that they were, in a large number 
 of cases, absolutely unreliable, not only by reason of an attempt to mag- 
 nify losses for the purpose of receiving a larger award, but mainly be- 
 cause of the exaggerated values which naturally are jdaced on ones own 
 possessions. In most cases the amount of loss g-iven is largely greater 
 than that g-iven in their first statement, and as a rule about one-third 
 larg'er than the estimate as made by the local district committees. This 
 should be considered in connection with the statement of percentages 
 paid, (on ]pag'e 46) , as the latter are calculated on losses as given in the 
 sworn statements. It was also found that in very few cases had claim 
 ants made a full return of their possessions, excepting their property 
 directly in the Conemaug-h valley. In the final decision upon any case, 
 therefore, in addition to such information as was obtained from other 
 sources, consideration was given to the orig"inal statement of the claim- 
 ant, to the report by the local district committees and to the sworn state- 
 ment as to the Joss, and to all the other features of the case, as value of 
 property remaining, health, ag^e and dependents, as shown in the state- 
 ments, while as to the general merits of the claimants, almost absolute 
 reliance Avas placed on the citizens of Johnstown, Avho had been selected 
 by the people themselves for the purpose of deciding upon this point. 
 Without the " Board of Inquiry, " and the local information possessed 
 by them and the facilities which they had for obtaining- a general know- 
 ledg-e of the many applicants, the result of the distribution Avould not 
 have been satisfactory. As it is, mistakes have doubtless been made ; 
 awards Avere made, based on the statements and after most careful in- 
 quiry, which were larger than would have been given could the vol- 
 unteer estimates of assets remaining-, noio freely giA^en, have been then 
 presented and verified ; in other cases, on receiving information Avhicli 
 Avas not g-iven in the statements, amounts were g-iven additional to the 
 first award, and there are Avithout doubt yet other cases Avhicli would 
 have received further consideration had all the circumstances been pro- 
 perly presented. A comparison of amounts paid as to losses, therefore, 
 must, to be of account, be coupled Avith the circumstances of each case 
 in reg-ard to all the features before mentioned. A. having sustained a 
 loss of $500. 00 may have received $250. 00 : B. Avith the same amount of 
 loss, may have received $500.00, and ('. Avitli the same loss, by reason 
 of special features of hardship in his case, may have received a much 
 larger sum. 
 
 While manj' estimates of loss Avere magnified, some Avere under-esti- 
 raated and corrections Avere made in the examination of the cases ; 
 that this, in some cases, Avas intentionally done, is evidenced by the re- 
 
52 Report of the Seciietary. 
 
 quests of several j^ersons for further assistjiiice on the ground that they 
 had " g-iven in their loss too low, as they thought that those who had 
 lost the least would receive the most. " 
 
 Financial Exhibit. 
 
 Although the Commission had a treasurer, yet into his hands was 
 given only the money which was sent to Governor Beaver and by him 
 transferred to the Commission. The moneys were left with the other 
 depositories of the Commission vnitil required for distribution, when 
 they were di'awn by the Chairman and deposited at Johnstown. The 
 accounts, as a whole, do not, therefore, appear in the books of the treas- 
 urer, but are shown in the general office of the Commission. 
 
 Moneys received were acknowledged and deposited by one depart- 
 ment of the office, and the accompanying letters were filed in another 
 department, and all payments were made by draft or by check. Ex- 
 cept in the " first distribution" in the Conemaugh valley, when only 
 the endorsement of the recipients was required on the orders and 
 checks, and in the final distribution in Avliich the checks themselves 
 contained a formal receipt, all x>ayments made by the Commission of 
 every character, were formally repeipted, which receipts are filed with 
 the records of the Commission. 
 
 While not mentioned as a matter of special credit, yet it is gratify- 
 ing to say that in the care and disbursement of this large fund, no ac- 
 cidents have happened, and the moneys have reached the objects in- 
 tended without loss on the Avay. A general summary of receijots and 
 expenditiu-es is hereto annexed. 
 
 Circumstances prevented an earlier audit of the account of the Com- 
 mission, but on June 9, a committee consisting of Hon. Robt. M. 
 Henderson, appointed by Governor Beaver, Col. Chas. H. Banes, 
 appointed by the Permanent Relief Committee of Philadelphia, and 
 Mr. Geo. I. Whitney, appointed bj^ the Pittsburgh Relief Committee, 
 met for this purpose and their report is hereto attached.

 REPORT OF THE AUDITORS. 
 
 Harrisburg, Pa., June ',23, 1890. 
 To Governor James A. Beaver, Chairman : 
 
 Dear Sir : The undersigned, having- been invited to audit the ac- 
 counts of the secretary of the Flood Relief Commission, would report 
 that we visited Harrisbui'g for this purpose, and, having made a careful 
 examination of the books, vouchers and other papers of the Commission, 
 we find that the statement as above presented is correct and that there 
 remains in the Banks, as stated, the sum of $67,205.47. Having per- 
 sonally verified the receipts and expenditures as a whole, we had but 
 fairly entered into an examination of the individual checks and vouchers, 
 many thousands in number, when it was found that more time would be 
 required than was at our disposal, and this part of the work was re- 
 ferred to Mr. F. H. Hoffer a skilled accountant, whose report, given 
 under oath, is as follows : 
 
 Carlisle, Pa., June m, 1890. 
 To the Members of ike Aiiditing Committee, 
 
 Gentlemen : As instructed by you, I have examined and verified all 
 the drafts, checks and vouchers of the Secretary of the Flood Relief Com- 
 mission, except only those connected with the first payment for the 
 benefit of Orphans, these having been personally examined and verified 
 by you, and I find a voucher for every payment in accordance with the 
 entries in the books of the Commission, and the statement of receipts 
 and expenditures submitted to me by you is correct. 
 
 Very respectfully, yours, 
 
 (Signed) F. H. Hoffer. 
 
 State of Pennsylvania, I 
 County of Cumberland, f 
 
 On June 23, 1890, personally appeared before me, a justice of the 
 peace residing in the borough of Carlisle, county and state as above, 
 Mr. F. H. Hoffer, who being duly sworn declares that the above state- 
 ment is true and correct according to his best knowledge, skill and judg- 
 ment. 
 
 (Signed) Edgar L. Shryock, J. P. [seal.] 
 
 In concluding this report we take pleasure in congratulating the Com- 
 mission that such care and judgment have been exercised in the distri- 
 bution and disbursement of this large fund — a people's free-will offering 
 
Flood Relief Commission. 55 
 
 —and that the books and papers have been kept with such skill and 
 accuracy as to render their examination and verification both easy and 
 
 satisfactory. 
 
 Very respectfully,
