At 10:30. dispatch waa reoolnd, by (Ian-
eral hunger Pugh, dated Wiirnore, from
the conductor of the east hound New Yurk

bridge- between South Fork and Johnatown
would be swept away. Tile Chicago and
New York day apron and all other cast
hound traim are supposed to be laid up
between Crouch and l’ittahurg. What
lir. Pugh was ahown a copy at the [I‘-
dispatch from Pituiburg announcing the
breaking oi the dam near John-town, he
laid that this report confirmed a dispatch re
ceived from Wilmore, which said that a man
had reported to the Pennsylvania railroad
opoiator there that the South Fork dam had
broken and the waterhead carried away the
“coal tipple" and telegraph tower at South
‘oril station, and I130 a portion 0! an out
bound freight train. The telegraph oper-
ator who was in the tower managed to ca-
cape, but several oi the train hands are re-
ported to have been drowned.
An llama-co Body cl Water.
The reservoir or dam at South ka,which
is said to have bunt with such terrible r9
suits, is described by a gentleman acquainted
with the locality in which it was situated to
be an immune body of water, formerly used
II a water supply (or the old Pennsylvania
canal. It haa beenowned tor aeveral years
by a number of l’ittshurg men, who used it
all a fishing ground. The man who gave this
information said that it the report of the
bursting ot the dam was true he had no
doubt that the damage and loss of life waa
lully as great as indicated in the despatchea

l-‘lvc Feet Above the Bond lied.
General Manager Pugh said that he could
not understand what was meant when he
received dispatches announcing damage to
the trucks at LiinII. “Such a thlng had
never been hard of below," said he, “and
nothing short of a waterspout could have
caused such damage. Lillys is a mining town
of about 500 or, 400 inhabitants. For the
water to riae high enough to obstruct the
passage of trains is unprecedented. A die-
patcli jlbl received by mesays that the water
is rushing over the tracks at a height at at
lead tivc feet above the road bed, and thin, I
say, could he brought about by nothing short
of a \lall'i'rpollt. l have no doubt, it our
