JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.

Office of Citizens' Relief Committee,

Pittsburgh, Pa., 1890.

To the Contributors :

On the western slope of the Alleghenies, near their base, nestled

the prosperous and busy city of Johnstown, with its neighboring vil-

lages, for a distance of twelve or fifteen miles in the valley of the

beautiful Conemaugh, Avhen on the last day of May, 1889, at four

o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost swept from the face of the

earth by the most terrible flood ever known in this country, caused

not only by the heavy rains of many days, but by the bursting of the

South Fork Dam, which let out a body of water of about 700 acres,

sixty or seventy feet deep, causing death and destruction for more

than twenty miles below, with a loss of life and property unprece-

dented in the history of our country. In the morning there stood

hundreds of substantial and beautiful houses, streets of warehouses

filled with merchandise, hotels, churches, schools and factories ; whennight came there was but a plain of gravel and mud, splintered frag-

ments of houses, scattered piles of bricks, masses of massive machin-

ery torn from their beds in the factories and lying in shapeless piles

of ruin, scattered and broken household furnishing, costly merchan-

dise, and thousands of corpses buried in the mud and water.

In one short and terrible hour more than sixteen hundred houses,

filled with men, women and children, were wrecked and ruined. Theloss of life will never be known, but is certainly between two thousand

and three thousand. The round house of the Pennsylvania Railroad,

with over thirty huge locomotives, the great Gautier Steel Works,

woolen and grist mills, scores of factories, iron and wooden bridges,

hotels, stores and dwellings, two passenger trains, with their living

freight, locomotives and hundreds of freight cars, stables and teams

in harness, all drifted into one mass against the stone bridge of the

Pennsylvania Railroad, and were then by the resistless force of the

flood piled high above the raging waters, where for thirty hours fire

added its horror to the scene, consuming both the living and the dead

in plain view of the houses on the hills above the flood, where thou-

sands could only watch, without the power of rendering any assistance.

This, in brief, was the situation when the telegraph flashed the news

Page 10: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

to sixty millions of sympathizing people of our own land, while the

ocean cables carried the news to the whole civilized world. It would

be impossible, in this limited report, to more than briefly outline the

awful scenes of that night. In the language of another, " to tell of the

many incidents of love and devotion, courage and unselfishness, in that

fearful night; to tell of the filial affection that went down to death, rath-

er than survive the parent it could not save; to tell of the motherly love

that swept on to death with the children it would not desert; to tell

of the faith that sang hymns of holy cheer, floating amid the terrors

of that night down the waters into the arms of death, is but to repeat

what in hundreds of papers has been told by correspondents and wept

over by the nation's readers."

It was this that summoned Citizens' Meetings in all parts of this

country, at many places in Europe, and even in far off Asia, this, too,

voiced in the stirring appeal of the Mayors of the two cities, that

called together the people of Pittsburgh and Allegheny in that now

famous meeting at Old City Hall early Saturday morning, June 1st,

1889, a brief account of which will be found in the report of Treas-

urer Thompson.

As soon as the members of the " Citizens' Relief Committee" had

been named at the meeting in Old City Hall, and while that meeting

was yet in progress, they convened at the Chamber of Commerce,

organized by the election of a Chairman and Secretary, appointed

committees from within and outside of their number, to collect money,

receive and ship donations of clothing, groceries, etc., to arrange for

transportation both east and west by rail and river, to receive and

house temporarily the homeless who would soon arrive from Johns-

town, to receive, answer and direct the hundreds who were already

offering their personal assistance for work here or in Conemaugh Val-

ley, etc, etc. The flood of telegrams flowing in from all parts of the

country, telegrams of sympathy, offers of aid, enquiries for friends in

Johnstown, made necessary the immediate employment of a special

operator, and a committee to respond. Systematic work began at

once. It would gratify this committee to be able to name the various

committees and the many generous and efficient helpers who relieved

them during the first two weeks of much work both by day and night

(for the main office at the Chamber of Commerce was for nearly

thirty days kept open night and day), but space will not permit, and

many names were never enrolled, as they deserved to be, among the

workers. Two permanent committees, however, because of the very

responsible and continuous work done by them, should have mention.

I refer to the Committee upon Railroad Transportation and the

Page 11: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

distribution of supplies in the flooded district, composed of Messrs.

James B. Scott, H. E. Collins, A. J. Logan, John Bindley and William

Flynn, and that on the receipt, purchase and shipment of supplies of

every sort, composed of S. S. Marvin, John Pontefract and Geo. W.Dilworth. The large corps of physicians, the Committee of Under-

takers, and very many others, are perhaps equally deserving of per-

sonal and particular mention, but names and reports of service are

not at hand, and I must forbear.

The haste in sending forward relief renders it impossible to fully

report all of the supplies furnished by the Committee. It would

afford it great pleasure to thank each individual and locality for the

donations and labor, but the task is impossible. Night and day, every

hour, and every moment, tens of thousands worked with a will all

over the country, gathering and hurrying forward food, clothing,

money, etc., while in the stricken valley other thousands with warm

hearts and busy hands, were removing wrecks, rescuing the living,

burying the dead, and comforting the dazed and sorrowing survivors.

The Western Union Telegraph Company, the Baltimore & Ohio

Railroad, and the Pennsylvania Railroad deserve especial mention-

The whole service of all three was placed free at the disposal of

this Committee ; and while they had suffered in the great flood

to the extent of millions of dollars, they seemed to forget all

but suffering Johnstown. Some idea of the difficulty of supplying

Johnstown can be had when we state that the nearest train

could get only to Sang Hollow, four miles distant, whence food

and supplies had to be carried on the shoulders of men, or hauled

miles around over the mountains, and then for two days could not

be sent across the swollen waters into the city proper. Rope

ferries and improvised bridges were made as quickly as possible,

when all were fed and relieved. In a single day 28,000 rations were

furnished.

The statement of the Treasurer will show that the money received

and disbursed for the direct aid of Johnstown reached the large sum

of $831,295.62 ; add to this the value of the provisions, ready-made

clothing, and necessaries of all kinds, and the total sum will easily

reach one million of dollars, while perhaps three times that amount

was sent to the Governor of the State, all the noble and spontaneous

expression of sympathetic hearts of men, women, and children, poor

and rich alike, in our Christian land and throughout the world.

And now at the end of eight months wre find the survivors

hard at work restoring as best they can their homes and property.

The dead who were hastily buried have been removed to a beantiful

lot in " Grandview Cemetery" where, from the mountain height, maybe seen the little river harmlessly winding its way through the valley

of death.

The reports of Mr. William R. Thompson, Treasurer ; of Mr. James

B. Scott, the member of our Committee who took charge at Johns-

town ; of the Ladies' Relief Committee, and the resolution of our

Committee explaining the reason for turning over the balance of

money in its hands to the State Committee, are all herewith pub-

lished.

With a full appreciation of the generous freedom with which you

have given, and a gracious sense of the confidence you have placed

in this Committee, we bespeak also your most generous criticism

where we may have unintentionally failed wisely to bestow what you

have so freely given. It has been a privilege rather than a task to

discharge the duties thus laid upon us, and we, therefore, in our ownbehalf as well as that of the sufferers in Conemaugh Valley, return

you our most hearty thanks.

Respectfully submitted,

WILLIAM McCREERY, Chairman.

STATEMENT.

The Citizens' Relief Committee, feeling that it is due to the public

who had so largely made them the custodians of their gifts for stricken

Johnstown, that some explanation should be made of the fact that

they turned the larger part of the funds over to the State Commis-

sion appointed by Governor Beaver for final distribution, would makethe following statement

:

A very large proportion of the contributions from New York, NewEngland, and the eastern part of the State had been sent direct to

Governor Beaver. Other portions of our State than Conemaugh Val-

ley had met with severe losses of life and property in the same great

disaster, and after the pressing and immediate wants of each section

had been met, it seemed to us that the harmonious action that had

hitherto prevailed between both custodians of the fund would be

made more efficient for the permanent relief of all parties if a joint

committee were formed. The appointment of a State Commission,

upon which Governor Beaver invited three of our most efficient

Page 13: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

workers, namely, Mr. James B. Scott, Mr. Reuben Miller, and Mr.

S. S. Marvin to serve, met with the unanimous approval of our Com-

mittee, and we at once transferred four hundred thousand dollars of

the funds then at our command to the Treasurer of the new State

Commission.

This Committee, however, continued its weekly meetings, closing

up as rapidly as possible the work still upon our hands, and hearing

reports of the larger work of the State Commission from our repre-

sentatives, the gentlemen above named. At a later date, September

21, 1889, we passed the annexed resolution, at the same time direct-

ing our Treasurer, Wm. R. Thompson, to transfer the additional sum

of one hundred and sixty thousand dol'ars to the Commission.

Resolved, That this Committee, aware of the grave difficulties that have pre-

vented a wise and equitable distribution, at an earlier date, of the funds at the

disposal of the State Commission, and recognizing the care and labor bestowed

by them in discharge of the onerous duties laid upon them, would hereby ex-

press their general and hearty approval of the manner in which their work has

been ihus far done. Discontent with the awards in some quarters is to be ex-

pected. It is impossible to please everybody. Criticism from the wise few whoknow just what should be done under all circumstances, will follow, as it has

preceded their action, but the Commission can safely commit the final report of

their work to the discriminate judgment of the generous donors whose gifts

they have sought with sincere purpose wisely to disburse.

REPORT OF JAMES B. SCOTT, CHAIRMAN OF RELIEFCORPS, AT JOHNSTOWN.

William McCreery, Esq.,

Chairman Pittsburgh Relief Committee

:

Dear Sir :—At the meeting of your committee held at noon on

Saturday, June 1st, 1889, a special committee was appointed to pro-

ceed to Johnstown and vicinity for co-operation in all matters con-

nected with the terrible disaster of the day previous. Immediately

upon appointment your committee was met by offers of personal

assistance in the service about to be undertaken, which offers were

accepted and the volunteers directed to meet within an hour at the

Union Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Meanwhile the gen-

erosity of a great community manifested itself with a marvelous

promptness and to such extent that by four o'clock P. M. of the day

on which the intelligence of the fearful fate of the Conemaugh Val-

ley had been made public a large train of provisions and clothing

Page 14: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

8

had been filled and stood ready for the word to start. The commit-

tee made immediate preparations, and held counsel with Mr. Pitcairn

and Mr. McCrea, of the Pennsylvania Railway, who furnished every

facility with an open order addressed "To all Employes " of the road

to give all possible assistance to your representatives. About four

and-a-half P. M. the train drew out from its position on Liberty

Street and started out on its mission. Two passenger cars attached

were filled with seventy-five ardent and resolute men, including mem-

bers of all cahings and professions who laid everything aside in the

one purpose of advancing the work undertaken by the Pittsburgh

Relief Committee. The Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety

furnished a detachment of eighteen selected men from the police

corps of the city, who accompanied the expedition. In the arduous

task which fell to these volunteers, it is hoped that their patriotic and

brotherly service will never be forgotten, rendered as it was under

conditions of the most self-sacrificing character, with a devotion that

never flagged, with the sole reward of consciousness of duty per-

formed. On the way toward Johnstown the relief corps Avas divided

into two companies, one of which was taken in charge by Capt. A. A.

Logan and the other by Dr. H. E. Collins, with the understanding

that in case of continuous work one company would relieve the other.

Owing to the over-crowded condition of the railroad in consequence

of the collection and retention of its numerous freight trains east of

Pittsburgh, the progress of the relief train was naturally impeded so

that it was not before ten o'clock on Saturday night when it drew up

at the tower at Sang Hollow, four miles west of Johnstown. Further

progress by the train was impossible for the reason that for a great

distance around the long curve at Sang Hollow not a vestige of a

railway remained, hardly even the location, as the raging flood had

carried out rails, ties and for a distance even the ballast of the road.

A visit to the tower found Mr. Thompson, of the railway, at the post

he had been occupying all day, engaged in the difficult effort to

transact the telegraphic business of the road over the single wire re-

maining of the large number generally in use, all of which but this

one havirg been swept away by the flood, and even this minimum

service was irregular and uncertain. Mr. Thompson heartily re-

sponded, but under the circumstances it was next to impossible to

communicate with the city, where an anxious committee was known

to be impatiently awaiting tidings from the relief corps. A rapid

examination and inquiry into the immediate situation developed the

fact that the great gap alluded to existed around Sang Hollow curve,

while beyond for some distance the condition of the railway track

Page 15: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

was too perilous for passage by a locomotive. Meanwhile it had been

ascertained by the use of the single wire, which had been temporarily

strung around the mountain to the now famous stone bridge, that a lo-

comotive and work train were standing on the track at a point near the

bridge. Although the members of the crew had left their work for

the night, they promptly responded to the message sent from Sang

Hollow tower to the bridge asking them to move the train down the

track west as far as it could safely proceed. During this time Com-

panies A and B had each deployed men to ascertain what could be

done in view of the fact of the intervening gap. The knowledge of

the situation on the part of Mr. Dean, in charge of the railway

forces, brought to the spot during daylight, was of the greatest ser-

vice. A couple of ordinary hand cars belonging to the road were

found east of the gap, in which vicinity was also found a quantity of

lumber. A long improvised car was made by placing the boards on

the hand cars, which were spread apart as far as the length of the

lumber permitted. Meanwhile the loaded cars Avere policed and

guarded from the tramps, Avhich even then were heading for the de-

vastated city. Two of the cars were opened, and the men of both

companies, A and B, undertook the severe and unaccustomed labor of

carrying on their shoulders the boxes, barrels and parcels containing

food for their famishing brethren. These midnight trips over the

rough and laborious way were repeated until nearly two car loads of

provisions had been carried over the long gap and deposited at the

further side, where the rude but serviceable car awaited its precious

burden. Then repeated trips of this car were made over the uncer-

tain track to the place where the men were waiting with the work

train on which the goods were placed and which received the suc-

ceeding loads from the gap until the entire quantity carried over on

the men's shoulders was placed on the train which, with Company A,

under Dr. Collins, pushed on until it stopped at the stone bridge,

where it arrived at 1.30 o'clock on Sabbath morning, whose light

broke on one of the fearfulest and ghastliest sights ever looked upon

or the imagination of Dante could have conceived. A region of

horror and devastation, an earthly ante-chamber of Hell. Here further

progress for the time was stayed. On the upper side of the bridge was

the horrid jam which produced the great lake engulfing the town.

The hideous mass, including so much that was inflammable, sending

its fearful flames and dense smoke high towards the heavens. Beyond

the bridge for a distance of eight hundred feet the heavy embank-

ment of the railway had been washed entirely away, and the rushing

river of indefinite depth whirled its way along past the abutment of

Page 16: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

10

the bridge. On the bridge^ the first consignment of provisions was

unloaded, and even at that early hour the eager and apprehensive

people had learned of the incoming relief and were awaiting its

arrival. Distribution was immediately begun and in the shortest

imaginable time was concluded. During the time when the mid-

night work of Company A was proceeding after the movement from

the gap, Company B was awaiting the work of the railway company,

which was being urged toward the securing of a temporary track for

the passage of the relief train. Probably never in the history of

corporations was there manifested such remarkable energy and intel-

ligent direction as shown in the resurrection of the railways drowned

by the appalling floods of May 31st. Even under such an unexpected

and terrible blow the great company, whose remaining facilities were

placed at the command of the relief corps, did not hesitate for a

moment but summoned the resources of its western terminus and

those of its allies with such promptness and success that during the

day following the flood all necessary supplies of timber, rails and

material, with a complement of men, were placed upon the ground.

During all that Saturday night while the work of the relief corps

proceeded as described, the operation of building a railway de novo

around Sang Hollow gap was being conducted with a- rapidity and

skill nothing short of marvelous. When it was first announced that

the track all the way to the bridge would be in shape sufficient to

convey the train some time early on Sabbath forenoon, the statement

could not be credited, but it resolved itself into the fact that between

seven and eight o'clock A. M. the relief train pushed its way over

the newly-made road and in a few minutes halted on the stone bridge.

There, as has already been said, was the end of all immediate for-

ward movement. Part of the train load was discharged at the

bridge to await the earliest opportunity for sending across the torrent.

The train was then backed and a large quantity of goods unloaded at

Cambria City, the first station west of Johnstown, from which point

not only the citizens of the place but those of Minersville and the

immediate outlying districts were provided with food. The train

was then brought back to Morrellville, two miles west of Johnstown,

which was found to be the best point for general distribution to the

greatest number of places in the flooded district. Almost a dozen

towns, and even the district of Johnstown, known as Kernville, were

all relieved from Morrellville by wagon. The topography of the

general locality must be known to understand the propriety of such

a point for so general distribution. On Sunday morning a stout rope

was swung over the river at the stone bridge and by this means many

Page 17: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

11

of the boxes and packages of food were taken over to the section in

which is located the Pennsylvania Railroad station. A messenger

from Johnstown proper brought word that General Hastings, Adju-

tant-General of the State, had been in the neighborhood at the time

of the flood and was yet in Johnstown at the railroad tower near the

station, but of course without supplies or resources of any kind. The

rope alluded to was, in the earlier part of Sunday, doing its duty, and

on it the Pittsburgh policemen were sent over with instructions to

report to General Hastings, in view of the great number of tramps

and suspicious persons pouring toward the town from apparently all

the points of the compass. Mayor Pearson, of Allegheny, sent on

the same day'a detachment of ten efficient police, who were retained

for service between Morrellville and the bridge. On Sunday after-

noon a swinging bridge was secured over the chasm and, while pre-

carious, was a great advance over the rope. On Monday Capt. Clark,

of the Mayflower, brought up a number of boats by which a floating

ferry was established over the Conemaugh to Johnstown proper, and

which proved of the most valuable assistance. On this same day

(Monday) the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, with remarkable energy,

effected a completion of its track into Johnstown proper. The West-

ern Union Telegraph Company, on same date, furnished a special

wire to the headquarters of the committee at Morrellville, when in-

structions were sent to Pittsburgh to have all provisions for Johns-

town itself sent via B & O. Railway, which was done with promptness

and success. Meanwhile the location at Morrellville continued to

prove a valuable depot for supplies and an admirable point for dis-

tribution. The Pennsylvania Railroad forwarded rapidly the great

number of cars which were being collected at and sent on through

Pittsburgh from all parts of the country. The distribution was ener-

getically conducted day after day, and it is safe to say that from the

dawn of that first Sabbath after the flood not a single person went

hungry to bed in all that region. During Saturday, the day succeed-

ing the disaster, the usual domestic supplies of food in possession of

the citizens unharmed by the flood, sufficed for the wants of all, while

the prompt receipts of provisions through the relief committees drove

away all fear of famine and starvation. At this early day, namely

Monday, large bodies of men, mainly in charge of Hon. William

Flynn and the late Capt. W. R. Jones, of Braddock, began to arrive,

and also delegations in charge ofmanagers and superintendents of many

manufacturing concerns in the general vicinity of Pittsburgh, all with

the purpose ofattacking and destroying the terrible mountains of debris

collected in the lower sections of Johnstown and in Kernville. The

12

principal part of Johnstown had been left in the condition of a

desert, a vast plain covered with sand and dirt which had been

brought down the valley by the rushing waters and deposited to an

average depth of many feet on the acres previously covered by closely

built houses and shops, not a vestige of which remained to show

former location or existence. The enormous quantity of material

composing the hundreds and even thousands of structures, and in-

cluding the extensive mills of the Gautier Company and the round

houses of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Conemaugh, with numberless

houses along the track of the torrent above, was swept over the plain

and gorged at the stone bridge forming the great dam alluded to,

lodging the fearful mass over the lower and main sections of Johns-

town and Kernville, filling the streets with all manner of wreckage

as high as an ordinary house, and in which were imprisoned number-

less bodies of men, women and children, with those of horses, cattle

and all kinds of animals. To the apparently hopeless work of clear-

ing this fearful valley—not of the shadow—but of death itself, were

applied the labors of the men brought for the purpose, and under the

intelligent and skillful direction of the leaders alluded to, the work

went on rapidly. Between six thousand and seven thousand menwere thus employed, whose maintenance and equipment were sup-

plied through the Pittsburgh Relief Committee.

The unparalleled generosity of the nation about this time changed

in the character of the gifts. Money was substituted for food and

clothing which were thenceforth to be purchased and forwarded

through the committee. At this time the number depending upon the

Pittsburgh Relief Committee for their daily bread was about twenty-

eight thousand, not a soul of whom lost a single meal unless through

personal neglect to apply. On Tuesday, June 4th, a mass meeting

of the citizens of the valley was held, when it was determined to

appoint a person to be clothed with plenary powers in all matters

pertaining to the affairs of the valley. The history of the days en-

suing between that date and the time when the State assumed direc-

tion of the work by arrangement with Governor Beaver, includes

the statement of work of the character already described, and also

that of the general supervision and direction of the affairs of the

committees represented at the meeting mentioned above. A citizens'

organization had already been formed, or attempted, but the distress-

ing circumstances in which every one found himself—confronted by

death en all sides, home destroyed, family sundered, each hour adding

certainty to dread as to the fate of near and dear ones—united to

paralyse every effort for joint efficient action. The attempts in this

Page 19: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

13

direction were even frustrated by such facts as the subsequently

ascertained death of many of the appointees. At the same time,

even in the face of so discouraging a situation, important headway

had been made by a committee under the chairmanship of Mr. A.J.

Moxham, of the near town of Moxham, who came into Johnstown and

rendered excellent service at the peril of his already impaired health.

The action of this Citizens' Committee was immediately inquired

into, and with the aid of such persons as could be consulted at inter-

vals other committees were appointed to proceed under the general

direction and control authorized by the citizens' meeting on Tuesday,

June 4th. These committees were : Finance, Morgue, Commissary,

Supplies, Teams, Removal of dead animals, Removal of general debris,

Dangerous buildings, I'olice, Outside search for Dead, Transportation

and information, Hospitals, Fire Department, Sanitary, Employment,

Registration, Valuables, Time-keeping and books, Department of Public

Safety, combining military, local and specicd police under Adjutant

General Hastings.

The report of these various committees accompany this report and

you are referred to them tor the details of work and results in the

various departments. The general sanitary work was placed under

the immediate supervision of Doctors Lee and Groff, of the State

Board of Health, who were on the ground early in the morning of

June 2d, and whose report also accompanies this paper. These gen-

tlemen continued to give this exceedingly important work their un-

ceasing attention for weeks and months after the flood, and it is

largely to their skill and devotion that Johnstown was spared even

the suggestion of an epidemic. They had exclusive charge of the

•water-ways in the name of the State, under whose authority all work

in the rivers was prosecuted. The great jam at the stone bridge,

after several attacks by uninvited amateurs, was taken in hand defi-

nitely and skillfully by Major Wm. M. Phillips, through orders of

Adjutant-General Hastings in the name of the State. Under his

intelligent direction the great mass rapidly dissolved and the stone

bridge jam became a thing of the past, AW the committees named

gave to their duties an earnest and active attention, performing their

labors under circumstances of the most discouraging and painful

character within the dreadful shadows of personal bereavement and

public distress, while the special duties of some can be readily imag-

ined to be exceedingly revolting, particularly to unaccustomed eyes

and hands. In this connection it may be well to allude to the extent

and character of the care of the dead. All bodies found at any point

were promptly taken in charge at one of the eight morgues established

Page 20: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

14

at various points in Johnstown and vicinity. From the report of Rev.

Dr. Beale, Chairman of the Morgue Committee, there had been cared

for up to June 11th a total number of fifteen hundred bodies, and, as

found from subsequent frequent examination of graves the work has

been of the most satisfactory and thorough character. The number

of bodies found subsequent to June 11th was very large. It is diffi-

cult to determine the total number of deaths in the Conemaugh Val-

ley, nor will it ever be accurately ascertained, but from the most

careful examination of the subject, separated from the wild guesses

and unfounded speculation of the subject, it is probable that the loss of

human life in the valley in consequence of the flood, will approximate

twenty-five hundred, a truly fearful number to be swept out of exist,

ence without warning or preparation. The destruction of life of

domestic animals was very great. No necessity existed for keeping

an account of these, but an energetic committee worked incessantly

in the interest of the health of the community, destroying effectually

every carcass by cremation ; not a single one found was disposed of

in any other manner, except a very few at inconvenient points which

were thoroughly buried. Nothing was allowed to be thrown into the

streams, but everything deleterious to the public health was abso-

lutely destroyed. Not only was the immediate population of Johns-

town and vicinity deeply interested in this, but those larger popula-

tions of the great cities below. It is impossible to refer in detail to

the separate work of all the committees— though highly important

but the designation of each as given will suggest its distinctive duty.

It would be interesting, if practicable in a report which cannot possi-

bly embrace all details of a work so extensive in its range, to narrate

the development and approach to comparative perfection of the dif-

ferent departments of the general plan. One of the most important

was the Commissary, which was begun in Johnstown proper at the

beginning under the most difficult and trying circumstance, through

the immediate supervision of Mr. John Thomas and Captain Kuhn,

who continued their services after the change of Tuesday, June 4th.

All cars came to Pittsburgh in such immense numbers, and both the

railways were in such condition, that it was simply imjDossible to

secure knowledge of trains en route or of the material contained.

What this all meant, with over twenty thousand of a resident popu-

lation depending for their daily bread on the exertions of the Com-

missary Department can hardly be imagined. There was no time to

stop and sympathize. It was not " to labor and to wait," but to

labor and continue, feeding with one hand and straightening out a

system with the other until at last from chaos and confusion there

Page 21: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

15

arose with comparative rapidity regulation and order, through which

every person in the valley was able to anticipate their recurring

meals with as much certainty and precision as though the method had

been the rule of their lives.

It is proper here to refer to the fact that the police control of the

entire district was so effective that not a single case of assault or

injury occurred, nor was there the slightest foundation for the manywild stories of hangings and lynchings, or of mutilation of dead

bodies. Life in the Conemaugh Valley was as secure as in any city

in the land. In connection with the progress of the work at Johns-

town, it is gratifying to acknowledge the numberless and wide-spread

offers of aid sent in from every section of the country. Prominent

among the beneficent acts, and very early in the history of the case,was

the furnishing of a large number of tents by Governor Foraker, of

Ohio, which were sent forward in care of Adjutant-General Axline

and which proved of the greatest service through their immediate

utilization. Personal service of every character was offered, and

when it could be, accepted. The prudence of the great majority of

persons in inquiring in advance was specially commended, particu-

larly in view of the fact of the overcrowded condition of the place

and the difficulty of making provision for those already there.

Many well-meaning persons came to Johnstown with the best inten-

tions but with poorly digested plans. Many consignments of goods

and donations of money were accompanied by delegations in charge

who were bound to see their material handed " direct to the people"

and went away with well-satisfied consciences, unaware to the present

day that their good intentions generally miscarried, and that their

contributions of cash and clothing usually fell into the hands of the

same " rounders" who were constantly on the alert for the oppor-

tunities presented through such visitors and who were unable to

deceive those in official charge, the same persons usually receiving

the cash and goods of these various delegations. The amount of cash

distributed through private agencies to undeserving persons in the

well-meant endeavor to do good was very great, and was even fre-

quently persisted in after notice as to the true character of recipients,

but in many cases the money was handed over to the responsible

financial custodians as soon as the facts were made known to the

bearers of funds. The work of many societies, guilds and agencies

cannot be estimated. An enormous amount of money was brought

into the valley through such means and the personal services of their

representatives cannot be too highly commended. Such societies as

the " Children's Aid" from each end of the State, the " Red Cross"

Page 22: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

16

under Miss Barton, and many others contributed to the general end

of benefit to the sufferers. Another feature of the situation was the

appearance in large numbers of individuals who knew so much better

what should be done than those in charge, who could even have pre-

vented the whole occurrence had they been consulted. Commissions

from persons high in various authority were in some way secured and

presented by very ordinary people, who seemed grieved that their

individual self-importance was not respected and who usually retired

with the determination to get even with those who were so obtuse as

not to recognize their claims to attention. These persons were

fortunately few in number but served the purpose of bringing a

smile to faces surrounded with gloom and distress and may therefore

be pardoned.

On Sunday, June 9th, 1889, Gov. Beaver reached Johnstown with

members of the relief committee from Pittsburgh. On that afternoon a

o-eneral consultation was held, when it was determined by the Gover-

nor that the State of Pennsylvania should assume the responsibility

for continuance of the work after the evening of Wednesday, June

12th, 1889, relieving the Pittsburgh Relief Committee, with the

understanding, however, that the committee would continue to co-

operate with State officials as long as necessary in such matters as the

procurement of supplies in which it had such large experience and

facilities. In accordance with this arrangement the army of laborers

continuously at work under the direction of Hon. William Flynn,

was disbanded and paid off on Wednesday, June 12th, the account of

time and individual pay of every man having been brought promptly

up to the last hour by the labors ni^ht and day of the Accounting

and Time-keeping Department under charge of Capt. Breck and Mr.

Ford. This latter department made little public show or demonstra-

tion but was of great importance. A very large amount of money

was involved, and care, accuracy and attention were requisite in the

highest degree. The system employed by Mr. Flynn in his large

business operations was availed of in this connection and aided

greatly in the settlement of the amounts which were disbursed with-

out confusion, disturbance or dispute. A day or two more was spent

in Johnstown by your representatives with the view to assist the

State authorities by fuller explanation of the methods and agencies

thereto employed, and at the early hour of one A. M., Friday, June

14th, the special car furnished by the Baltimore & Ohio Railway

delivered in the station at Pittsburgh the remaining members of the

relief corps which the Pittsburgh Relief Committee had sent out on

Saturday, June 1st, 1889.

It would be improper to conclude this report without special

mention of the courtesies of the officials of the Pennsylvania Rail-

road and the Baltimore & Ohio Railway, who afforded your repres-

sentatives the fullest facilities in their power. Mr. Patton, Super-

intendent of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway provided your staff at

Johnstown a special car, fully equipped with every accommodations,

including a daily supply of food sent regularly from Pittsburgh by

express.

REPORT OF THE LADIES' RELIEF COMMITTEE.

Tuesday, June 4th, the Chairman of the Citizens' Relief Committee

sent word to a number of ladies to meet at 10 A. M., at the Chamber

of Commerce in order to provide for survivors coming from John-

stown. About twenty were present representing Pittsburgh and

Allegheny.

These ladies at once organized by appointing an executive com-

mittee, consisting of Mrs. EL C. Campbell, Mrs. George A. Kelly and

Mrs. William McCreery : also committees for supply, dining room

and clothing departments, with Mrs. J. B. Herron, Mrs. E. A. Graff

and Mrs. C. M. Donnell, as chairmen. These ladies had authority

to add new members to their committees at discretion, and all were

requested to report at once at the Second Presbyterian Church, the

use of which had been kindly offered for this service.

By noon Mrs. McCreery presented a list of hospitals and benevo-

lent institutions ready to take care of flood sufferers, and at four

o'clock the tables in the church rooms were spread, a hot meal ready,

and lavish supplies of food and clothing were pouring in. It is im-

possible to give any idea of the lavish generosity of the people, not

only in the first excitement but extending for weeks.

On Wednesday a Bureau of Information was formed with Mrs. Dr.

A. Easton, as chairman. What had promised to be a temporary

shelter had become the haven for many weary ones, making it

necessary to enlarge the plan of work. Two more members were

added to the executive committee, as treasurer and secretary : Mrs.

James B. Scott and Mrs. Wm. R. Thompson.

Belated trains made it necessary to keep open all night and in each

department the committees were sub-divided for duty. A telephone

Page 24: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

18

was put up in the church by the kindness of the telephone company.

The train committee which met all arrivals from Johnstown at the

station was greatly assisted by Messrs. H. C. Bair, N. Wylie Steven-

son, J. G. Bennett, Mr. Gaither and Mr. C. S. Shoemaker, particularly

at midnight and three A. M. Thanks are due these gentlemen with

many others who by day and night conducted refugees to the church,

where a hot meal with soup and coffee awaited the sufferers, then a

complete outfit was provided—shoes, underwear, dresses, coats, hats

combs, soap, towels, &c. Afterwards the name and particulars were

entered in the register and given twice daily to the press, which acted

as a public directory and was invaluable in assisting the relief work.

The Bureau of information wrote their letters to anxious relatives,

searched for lost ones and helped to unite broken families. Hun-

dreds of postal cards were sent and many heavy hearts relieved to

know that the lost were found. Then an omnibus carried them, with

their outfits in heavy paper bags, to temporary quarters where they

were welcome to stay until friends came, or railroad passes and money

took them to their destination ; some as far west as Nebraska,

Wyoming or Oregon, and from Tennessee to Canada. The railroad

companies vied with other corporations in generosity, sending passes

on the written request of the executive committee.

In fifty days two thousand and eight (2,008) persons were cared

for by the four departments : food, clothing, registry and inquiry.

Six hundred applications to adopt children were received and

placed in the hands of the Children's Aid Society.

After ten days the ladies felt that the regular church work was sadly

obstructed by the various departments, and, thanking the trustees for

their hospitality, accepted the offer from Dr. A. H. Norcross of the

Eighth Street Methodist College. Here daily the committees con-

tinued to receive, investigate, clothe, entertain and forward the part-

ino- guest. This continued until June 24th, at which time the mass

of material sent to Pittsburgh from all parts of the country to Johns-

town seemed almost undiminished although the laborious work of

sorting and outfitting had been carried on by a most efficient force.

The citizens committee requested us to exchange the hospitable

college for the Exposition building, which contained the stores of

bedding, groceries, some furniture, hundreds of old shoes, a dress suit,

worn out liveries, a ball gown, white kid gloves and other donations

—a motley collection, carefully assorted and labeled by the Messrs.

Roenigk, Cain and their assistants. Here fifty machines were set at

work by tireless women, who for several days each week made up

Page 25: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

19

sheets, table-cloths, towels, &c, by thousands. The sewing machine

companies offered to give machines to sufferers at a very low figure,

which was paid out of our funds in special cases.

There was now no necessity for serving meals to the survivors, all

were furnished with family supplies, including groceries, flour, bed-

ding, &c, and orders given for furniture.

The end of July closed the daily service of this section of relief

work. Only thirty-four boxes remained, which were refilled with

winter clothing and lately sent to Johnstown. All of donations were

acknowledged in cases when the address was given. Most of the

packages however, were sent anonymously to " Johnstown Sufferers

Pittsburgh Committee" and to the donors we hereby return our thanks.

Of the survivors who came to Pittsburgh many were widows with

young families, the bread-winner having been drowned. Some of

these have been visited and cared for ever since.

To gain some approximate idea of the work accomplished during

our fifty days service, a few facts may be offered : 114,967 garments

were distributed. When the persons were endorsed by responsible

parties, clothing was furnished for the absent members of the family,

About fifty people were fed daily for three weeks and yet the entire

expenses of the supply and dining room departments were only

$80.67.

To quote from Mrs. Herron's report, which we regret cannot

be printed in full :" When it became necessary, in order to prevent

waste to restrain the people from giving, it seemed like defrauding

them of a precious privilege, so sympathizing and anxious were all to

assist. The supplies were sent in many cases without the names of

the donors. No one witnessing the outpouring of good things could

fail to be inspired with the unostentatious charity which had no

desire to be recognized. Among the largest contributors of table

supplies were J. B. Beilstein, who gave quantities of meat and an

open order for anything needed in his line ; Messrs. Wilson of the

Seventh Avenue Hotel, and Gill of the St. Charles; Craig and Bra-

ham with many others made liberal donations of meat ; Mr. Dimling

gave bread ; Messrs. G. K. Stevenson & Co. and Arbuckle & Co.

gave coffee ; the Chartiers Creamery sent firkins of butter; and R. A.

Martin milk. Jellies, pickles, fruit, cakes and vegetables were sent

in daily." Lunch baskets were sent to the church filled with good

things ready for those about to take long journeys, including comb,

wash towels and other toilet articles.

Page 26: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

20

Special mention should be made of the hospitality offered by-

Allegheny institutions, Emanuel Episcopal Church, the Presby-

terian Theological Seminary, the Helping Hand Rooms and the

Home for the Friendless, where Mr. Jarboe, Mrs. Rev. Dr. T. H.

Robinson, Miss Kate McKnight, Miss Matilda Denny, and their

eager assistants were ready for the omnibus full of people by day and

night for two weeks. The hospitals gave every possible service, and

the church sewing societies of every denomination sent dozens

of newly made garments. Social engagements were forgotten, and

the stirring times recalled the work of the Sanitary Commission

during the war—a quarter of a century ago. There is not space

to tell of the strange and awful experiences with the demented,

the widowed, the orphaned ones. The sight of a clean bed or

cheerful table once more would flood the dazed mind with a new

sense of loss.

It is hopeless to try to mention all of those who labored for weeks

In His Name : The Marys and Marthas co-operated bravely each

•doing what she could—be it sorting old clothing, writing letters,

serving tables, nursing babies or comforting the distressed ; each

modestly striving to manifest her loving sympathy for those who had

suffered so fearfully. Their names, altho' not recorded here, are all

known to Him, who will say to them in that day " Come ye blessed

of my Father ; I was naked and ye clothed me ; hungry and ye fed

TREASURER'S REPORT.

Wm. McCreery, Esq., President Johnstown Belief Committee.

Sir :—There are two floods suggested by the thought of Johnstown.

The first swift, pitiless, never to be adequately described, and giving

a profound significance to those solemn words—" Thou earnest them

away as with a flood." The second, a great wave of human sympa-

thy and magnificent generosity.

The first destroyed, the second built up. The heart of the people

was touched and responded so grandly, that it may justly be said, no

greater work was ever recorded in the history of beneficence than the

world's work for the relief of Johnstown.

Old City Hall, the place of the people consecrated by great deeds,

is rich in historic associations. To these was added the Citizen's

Meeting, held Saturday June 1st, which those present will not soon

forget. The quiet assembling, the prompt organization, the brief

earnest statement by Supt. Pitcairn, the call for contributions, then

Page 29: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

23

the eager crowding of men to the foot of the platform calling out do-

nations, holding aloft checks, drafts, bank-notes, promises to pay-

written on all sorts of scraps of paper. Every question of creed, color,

race, or condition in life, was forgotten, as each man strove with

generous rivalry to get his contribution in first. Some idea of the

spirit of the occasion may be had from the fact that the first hour's

offerings averaged one thousand dollars per minute in cash.

But the rush at Old City Hall was only the first dash of the tidal

wave. The Executive Committee, while fitting out train-loads of pro-

visions and clothing, had telegraphed the Mayors and Boards of

Trade of all the principal cities of the country, calling for donations in

cash or merchandise. It was announced in the evening papers by the

ministers of the two cities that collections would be taken up in the

churches the next day. Monday morning brought a veritable storm

of remittances by letter and telegram, while the churches and Sab-

bath-schools brought in their collections of pennies, silver of every

denomination, bank-notes and checks, in cigar-boxes, bags, papers,

handkerchiefs, and in one instance, the traditional " stocking." It

was an accumulation of miscellaneous collections, such as no fastidi-

ous teller would ordinarily take over his counter ; but it held the lit-

tle child's penny, the widows' mites, as well as the gifts of those " that

did cast in of their abundance," and for the sake of the cause was taken

gladly, receipted for, and set aside, to be counted by the force of

cashiers and tellers of other banks, who volunteered their services, and

who worked far into the night clearing and accounting, as far as pos-

sible, for each day's accumulations before beginning the next.

Briefly stated, it required the services of from eight to ten rapid

workers from 7.30 P. M. until midnight, for six consecutive nights,

before the work was thoroughly under control. " Why not organize

a bank and hire the necessary help ? " Simply because men qualified

to handle money are not to be hired in an emergency, and this was

no time to experiment with trust funds.

Yet the cash contributions were only one feature of the work.

Stockmen gave cattle ; Minneapolis, flour ; Chicago and Kansas City,

grain and fresh meat ; Cleveland and Detroit, lumber and chairs

;

Savannah, tar and rosin; lanterns, lime, log chains, fish, whiskey,

oil, disinfectants, groceries of every kind, tobacco, snuff, cigars,

stoves, dishes, hardware, books and a poem to be sold ; even

the little children sent their dolls and playthings—time would

fail to tell of what came. It was Emerson's teaching carried into

practice, every man gave of that which he had. At Old City Hall

busy men and women were organized into departments, receiving,

Page 30: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

24

assorting and sending off boxes and bundles of clothing, bedding,,

blankets, boots, shoes, hats, etc., etc., which were coming in from

every part of the country. A strange medley it was. The great bulk

of the donations were of articles sweet, clean, new and appropriate.

But what an opportunity it afforded for a garret-ridding benevolence;

nevertheless everything was accepted in the spirit of charity.

Down Liberty avenue and Water street the Pennsylvania Railroad

and Baltimore & Ohio moved empty cars, which were promptly filled,,

and as promptly sent out. The Western Union Telegraph Companyplaced its wires at the disposal of the committee. Business in the

two cities was practically suspended, men talked only about the

calamity or devised means to get supplies to the distressed. " Howmuch like war times it was !

"

Four thousand men, properly equipped and under the command of

Hon. William Flynn and the late Capt. William R. Jones, were sent

into the valley to bury the dead, remove debris and render the place

habitable for the survivors. These laborers, with the number of.

names which appear on the Johnstown pay-rolls, the men sent

from Beaver Falls, and those from the National Tube Works, Mc-Keesport—whose expenses in the former case were paid by the local

relief committee, and in the latter, by the workmen at the works

make a total of nearly ten thousand men. Add to these the

number of survivors dependent upon the commissary for subsist-

ence and you have an army to be fed, clothed and sheltered. This-

will appear from the fact that 28,000 rations were issued in one day.

The work of purchasing and forwarding supplies having assumed

such proportions, Messrs. S. S. Marvin, Geo. W. Dilwor^h, and JohnPontefract, were appointed a committee in charge of this work.

It was not long before complaints were made that the money sent

had not been contributed for sanitary measures, but for the relief

of the sufferers. At this point—June 12th—Governor Beaver as-

sumed control of the work, and the Citizen's Committee instructed its

Treasurer to proceed at once to Johnstown and pay off the men it

had sent there. It was estimated that $110,000.00 would be needed

to do this. Here a new difficulty arose. The Express Companies,

having lost their offices by the flood, would not be responsible for

money after the arrival of the train in Johnstown. Express safes

were not to be had. A hasty meeting of the committee was held

the Treasurer was authorized to assume the risk, and to take such

steps as were necessary to carry out the work. A pay-car was secured

;

the bags of silver and packages of bank-notes laid on the floor for

for a bed, and at 9 p. m., the party left via the Baltimore & Ohio

Page 31: LIBRARY...railwayremained,hardlyeventhelocation,astheragingfloodhad carriedout rails,ties and for adistance even the ballast oftheroad. A visitto thetowerfound Mr.Thompson, oftherailway,

25

Kail road, with Messrs. H. I. Gourley and C. B. McVay, as assistants;,

guarded by Assistant Superintendent O'Mara, Inspector McAleese

and three officers, arriving at Johnstown ten hours later. There,

under military protection, after two days' work the great majority

of the men were paid, besides some others who at first had offered

their services gratuitously.

On July 26th the Committee transferred to the credit of the Flood;

Relief Commission the sum of $400,000.00, to be distributed in the

Conemaugh Valley ; and on September 28th the additional sum of

$160,000.00 was placed to the same account, making a total of

$560,000.00.

The work having been turned over to the Commission, at your

request the Mayor of Chicago, the Governors of Ohio and Michi-

gan sent representatives to audit the accounts, and Col. William P.

Rend, of Chicago ; Auditor-General H. A. Axline, of Ohio, and

Hon. John K. Boies, of Detroit, with Controller E. S. Morrow, of

this city, completed the work. In their report which follows, you

will notice that all the moneys received by your Committee were

expended in the work of relief. The necessary office expenses, clerk

hire, etc., amounting to $§3&, having been defrayed privately.

In concluding this report, the Treasurer begs leave to acknowl-

edge his indebtedness to the following gentlemen, without whose

prompt and generous aid, it would have been impossible to have car-

ried on the work : Messrs. David Robinson, H. I. Gourley, John

A. Harper, C. B. McVay, Frank C. Hutchinson, William Montgom-

ery, John D. Fraser, Walter P. Fraser, Charles M. Gerwig, William

F. Church, J. D. Lyon, Prof. A. E. Frost, John T. Woods, Capt,

Thanks are due also to the press, which so materially advanced

the cause by its patient, accurate work, in giving to the public, daily,

the names of contributors, and the amounts given.

One more word. Your Committee may well express to the world

a sense of gratitude for the confidence reposed in it. Nearly, if not

altogether, one million of dollars in cash and merchandise passed

through its hands. This, with the great sums sent to Governor

Beaver and to Johnstown direct, the self-denial and unrecorded toil

of numbers of men and women all over the land, refute the pessimis-

tic assumption that generosity and personal sacrifice are not realizable

ideals. Crises quicken the heroism latent in human hearts, and

some compensation for the Johnstown disaster will be derived from

the exercise of those great and benevolent impulses which never

fail to spring flower-like from such calamities.

Respectfully submitted,

William R. Thompson,

Treasurer.AUDITOR'S REPORT.

A short time since the Governors of the States of Ohio and Michigan and the

Mayor of Chicago were requested by the Pittsburgh Citizens' Committee for the

relief of the Johnstown flood sufferers, to appoint a Commission to examine the

accounts of the moneys received and disbursed by them. The undersigned

Commission, appointed in response to this invitation, having made a careful

inspection of the books, vouchers, bills, checks and various other documents

pertaining to this relief account, presented by Mr. Wm.R. Thompson, Treasurer,

to whom was entrusted the sole care and custody of all funds forwarded to and

collected by this Committee, have to report the following condensed exhibit

of receipts and disbursements

The receipts as given above only show the money contributions which passed

' .through the hands of this Committee. Large quantities of clothing, provisions

«nd other supplies purchased by State and local committees were forwarded to

(the flood sufferers through this agency. Many, if not all the States in which

• credits appear in this report, also sent large contributions of money and

•supplies to the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania for distribution through

the Commission appointed by him.

Eeceipts, accompanied by detailed bills for every item composing the ex-

penditures above given, were exhibited to the Auditing Commission, by the

Treasurer, giving complete evidence of the accuracy and thorough system that

characterized the disbursements of the money confided to the Citizens' Belief

Committee.

In connection with our endorsement of the financial report submitted to us,

it may not be inappropriate to briefly refer to the history and to certain of the

prominent features of the magnificent work performed by the Pittsburgh Com-

s mittee.

Immediately after the first sad news of the dreadful disa^er that swept into-

eternity thousands of lives and that spread ruin and desolation throughout the-

Conemaugh Valley had been flashed across the wires, a mass-meeting was call-

ed by the Mayors of Pittsburgh and Allegheny to give expression to the senti-

ments of sorrow universally felt throughout the country and to adopt immediate

and effective measures for the rescue and relief of the suffering survivors. Atthis mass-meeting this Relief Committee was selected from among the leading

and most highly esteemed citizens of Western Pennsylvania.

The gentlemen chosen to conduct this noble mission of charity in

every instance occupy positions of prominence in the great industrial and com-

mercial enterprises of their city. It would be superfluous to allude to •

this fact where these gentlemen are so well and favorably known, but

as contributions have come to them from tens of thousands in distant parts

of the country it is believed to be not out of place to make this favorable com-

ment.

On the 1st of June, the day after the disaster, the labors that confronted this

Committee were of indescribable magnitude. The people left surviving at

Johnstown and elsewhere in the stricken region were totally isolated from the

outside world. Eailway and telegraphic lines on either side of Johnstown were

scattered and carried away for many miles in the general ruin. As soon as

communication could be established in a temporary way, this Committee at

once pushed forward provisions for the sustenance of the living and coffins and

caskets for the burial of the dead. In every way they directed and performed

the work of relief with intense energy and most zealous devotion.

As soon as possible the general committee appointed sub-committees to organ-

ize, control and guide the various departments of the dispensation of relief, such

as the recovery and decent interment of the dead, the furnishing of food and

raiment to the 30,000 destitute survivors, the clearing of debris from the

public streets, and the erection of temporary shelter and of permanent homes.

All this vast work of benevolence was faithfully and thoroughly done. From

the time of the advent of this Committee at Johnstown no one has been allowed

to suffer for food or other essential necessaries of life.

In fine, the undersigned Commission feel certain that the sacred mission of

charity confided to the Citizens' Committee has been performed with a noble

fidelity that entitles the gentlemen composing this Committee to the gratitude

of the entire people of the Conemaugh Valley,°and also to the thanks of all whosent their contributions to aid in relieving the effects of this terrible calamity.

TO THE READER.

This Report comprises individual contributions from one penny up

to fifteen thousand dollars, and is arranged alphabetically, rather than

under the heads of trades or professions.

The church collections taken Sabbath, June 2d, under the head

of Churches, and the contributions of workingmen, under the head

of Employes, are the only attempts at classification.

The names and amounts sent in through the daily press will be

found under the name of each paper.

The amounts received from other cities are entered in sums as they

came, detailed statements of names of contributors and amounts

given having been published by their local committees, as in the case

of Chicago and other cities.

Notwithstanding the care taken to make this Report correct in

every particular, errors in names and places may have crept in.

One thing is sure, that every dollar received is here acknowledged,

and as the Auditor's Report will show, accounted for in full. The

expense of carrying on the work having been met privately.

Should any contributor not find his name recorded, let him recall

the circumstances under which he gave, whether as "Cash," with-

holding his name, or through his church, club, secret organization, or

daily paper.

It is regretted that this report (which is solely of the amounts re-

ceived and expended by the Citizens' Committee), cannot embrace the

list of moneys and goods raised in this city by the Americus Club, the

Grand Army of the Republic, Masonic and other orders, which

would easily aggregate an additional five thousand dollars contrib-

uted by the citizens of Pittsburgh and Allegheny.

DONATIONS

It is a matter of regret that this list is not complete, many con-

tributions of goods having been received and forwarded where the

names of the donors were not given. This is especially true of the

first train load of supplies made up on Liberty avenue early Satur-

day morning, June 1st, by the merchants, who contributed groceries,

the citizens who brought clothing of every kind, and in many cases

deposited their baskets of marketing. In the eager desire to help,

there was no thought of having their names or gifts recorded. Let

those who gave and do not find their names here, recall the pressure

of the time, and reflect that the secret pleasure of a generous act is

to a great mind its own exceeding great reward.
