Johxstown, August 15. After confer
ence with the local committees, a report was
agreed upon by the members of the State
Commission which are nowhere, and it will
be presented to the full commission at their
next meeting. The report provides for the
distribution, which from data at hand will
amount to $1,149,000, in nddition to the
$500,000 previously appropriated. Those in
'classes 1, 2 and 3 will be paid off in full,
receiving respectively $1,000, $900 and $500
each. This will require $435,000. Classes
4, 5 and 6 are to receive 30, 22 and 15 per
cent each respectively, and the sums paid to
each will be $458,364, $550,000 and $206,250.
This compilation is made from the rating of
the Board of Inquiry.
Before the losses were sworn to the
amounts in some of the classes will be
changed considerably, as many individuals
will be re-rated. It will be noticed that all
this will not exhaust the relief fund within
about $60,000, as there is about $160,000 on
The passenger receipts at Johnstown sta
tion were two and a half times greater, this
year than last, while the freight receipts
were a few thousand dollars less than last
year. The general business was largely
increased, bnt the decrease in freights is
dne to the fact that the Oautier mills are
not running this year. The Board of In
quiry to-day moved their office to the
Municipal building and a large force of
clerks will be employed to get the papers in
shape for the final "distribution. Quite a
number of valuables have been turned over
to-day by persons who had picked them up
shortly after the flood. A systematic effort
is being made to hunt things up, and much
valuable property is being discovered.

A GIGANTIC EAINFALL
Undoubtedly the Cause of the
Eecent Disastrous .Floods.
AN AVERAGE OP EIGHT INCHES
Over an Area of More Than
Square Miles in the State.

rsricui. TEiEorojf to tub DisrATCH.l
Habrisburq, August 15. Secretary of
Internal Affairs Stewart has issued a report
relative to the recent floods in Pennsylvania,
caused by the rainfall of May 30 .to June L
It was, says the report, a gigantic rainfall,
amounting to an average of eight inches in
depth of water, falling on an area of more
than 12,000 square miles, and covering the
mountain plateau and its eastern declivities
from Johnstown to Harrisburg, and extend
ing northward from Somerset to McKean
and Tioga counties.
This area ot rainfall was oval in form,
but broader toward the north branch of the
Susquehanna. Around this central body of
flooded country the quantity fell off rapidly
to six, four, and two inches, although the
highlands in Maryland and Virginia, at
the south, and in northeast Pennsylvania
and southern New York had flooded rains
of three to five inches in depth.
LITTLE BAINFAI.L DT PITTSBTJBO.
At Pittsburg there was only one and a
half inches, although in Ohio, Michigan
and Indiann, nearly three inches of rain
fell on the 29th and 30th of May. There
were flooding rains at the same time in
Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia.
In, the southern counties of this State the
rainfall was light, from half an inch to an
inch only, although the southeast gale
was more violent tnere, and it swept Dela
ware and South Jersey with great lorce on
The appalling losses of life at Johnstown,
of course, could not have resulted from an
storm, however great the rainfall, yet it
was apparent at Philadelphia on the after
noon of May 0, and during all the follow
ing day, that the great heat and violent gale
indicated a heavy rainfall in the interior of
Taking the entire area visited by heavy
and general rainfall May 28 to June 1,
NO EECOBDED EXPERIENCE
approaching it in magnitude. In Eastern
Kansas and over much of Missouri it
reached an average of 3 inches. In Illinois
and all the States intervening to Pennsylva
nia, the quantity varied from 2 to 4 inches;
the observers of the several States' weather
systems reporting very fullv. All their
reports have been received and consulted, in
writing and paper.
The States southward, including Tennes
see, had general and heavy rains nearly
equal to those just referred to. And, while
in the Ohio Valley and vicinity of Pitts
burg there was less rain, the first mountain
ous elevations eastward were deluged with
rain, the southern border having several
destructive local storms or cyclones, such
as are characteristic of the southern border
of an area of general disturbance
WEIGHT OP THE WATEB.
The vast weight of water falling is shown
by a calculation based on the weight of a
cubic foot, 35 feet being a ton. In the sur
face of a so-rj-e mile there would be.66.377
tons forfln inch in depth. 631,016, tons for tc
depAh-o! eight inches. The quantity falling
on 12,000 square miles, at this rate, is 6,732,
246,000 tons. The force exercised bv vast
bodies of water in motion is irresistible. In
concluding, the report says:
"In all respects the conditions were the
most remarkable and peculiar of. those
known to attend a general rainfall, and the
vast masses of water thrown down over the
surface of several States other than Penn
sylvania, only add to the difficulty of ex
plaining the origin of the storm, or the
source from which so great a body of water
can have been derived."
