Johnstown Toll of Deaths Estimated at 6111
The Board of Inquiry in Jobnstown released a cautious estimate placing dead and missing at 6111 for the Johnstown disaster and Conemaugh Valley. A petition circulates in the state urging a law banning traction engines on public roads from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. The note also discusses European investment in American trusts amid fears of war and praises tariff policy and U.S. stability as foreigners invest, citing the America eagle as proof.
