 MUE sudden and disastrous flood of July 26th, 18*74, was 
 an event of 3ucli thrilling interest and surpassing import- 
 ance that, like the great fire of April, 1845, it forms an 
 epoch in the history of Pittsburgh and Allegheny, never 
 to be forgotten. 
 
 Early on that Sabbath morning the rain commenced to fall 
 copiously, and continued, with brief intervals, to do so until 
 evening, causing the streams and ravines in the vicinity to 
 swell with torrents of water. When the evening church bells 
 rang out their inviting sounds, it was supposed that the rain 
 clouds had emptied their contents, and the storm was ended. 
 About nine o'clock the horizon was suddenly shrouded in the 
 blackness of darkness. The rain descended in torrents, as if 
 the very flood gates of heaven had been opened ; the lightnings 
 flashed amidst deafening peals of thunder, imparting to the 
 scene a dismal and terrific grandeur. Little streams which or- 
 dinarily seemed like a silver cord, swelled into impetuous and 
 mastering currents ; larger water courses became raging 
 rivers, carrying destruction and death on every side ; the hill- 
 sides gleamed with sheets of foaming water, like an agitated 
 sea, as the avalanche of water rolled down their rugged steeps. 
 The volume of accumulated water became so immense in 
 ravine and stream that it would be impossible to describe the 
 force and fury with which it swept away everything in its 
 path. For a brief time it seemed as if our cities were about to 
 be annihilated by a deluge. Buildings were utterly crushed 
 upon their foundations, oi tossed like feathers before the wind 
 and carried rapidly to certain and fearful destruction ; bridges 
 were swept from their abutments and borne with incredible 
 yelocit}^ on the swelling tide ; railroads and streets were literally 
 obliterated ; large numbers of homes were razed to their foun- 
 dations, and their inmates hurried, almost without monition, 
 into eternit}^ ; brick and stone walls crumbled almost like sand 
 and became part of the awful torrent, and in turn assisted in 
 devastation and ruin. Pen and tongue fail to adequately de- 
 scribe the terrific scenes of that fearful night, with its mingled 
 calamities of ruin and death! Amidst the desolation thus 
 wrought by the storm and, flood, there came from every side 
 wails of lamentation and sounds of mourning. The following 
 paragraphs from the Pittsburgh Dispatch, of July 28th, (when 
 the extent of the direful calamity was yet not fully known), 
 ■graphically and eloquently describe the disaster: — ' 
 
"Startling disasters, like startling crimes, are too infrequent 
 to school the heart to peruse the ghastly details with ordinary 
 emotions. Jean Bigelow's pathetic description of " High 
 Tide on the Coast of Jjincolnshire " has been read with tear- 
 bedimmed eyes by millions. The late Mill River disaster in 
 Massachusetts, whereby a vast amount of property and many live* 
 tvere sacraficed by the resistless torrent, evoked the most exquisite 
 sympathy for the sorely stricken people of a sister State. But in the 
 presence of a greater calamity than these, the most enlarged sympathy 
 is futile to assauge the poignancy of the grief which afflicts so many of 
 our citizens, whose all — wives, children and property — have been swept 
 away as completely as if they had never been, leaving them desolate 
 indeed. The weather Sunday afternoon was showery, but not porten- 
 tious of unusual elemental phenomena. Citizens attended religious 
 services as usual ; and, when about seven o'clock the rain subsided, and 
 the declining sun tinted the passing clouds with purple and gold, thous- 
 ands crowded upon the streets, seeking pleasure or recreation, discussing 
 the events of the day and the prospects of the morrow, which, alas ! 
 came not to many. Thus fell the shades of night ; the people retired 
 to rest, and ' silence brooded over a still and pulseless world. ' 
 
 " Between nine and ten o'clock frequent and vivid flashes of light- 
 ning in the northern heavens, accompanied by terrific peals of thunder, 
 presaged the coming disaster. Momentarily increasing in violence, it 
 was but a few minutes until the streets in many places were impass- 
 able ; water swept down the gutters like roaring torrents ; the broad- 
 est avenues were solid sheets of water ; while from hillsides poured a 
 deluge which tore rocks of a ton's weight from their foundations and 
 gashed and seamed the earth as if it had been riven by an earthquake. 
 Nothing could resist the awful volume of rushing, seething water. Sub- 
 stantial brick houses crumbled when it struck them as if they had been 
 made of sand ; frame buildings were lifted from their foundations, 
 borne along on the angry current, and dashed to pieces against other 
 buildings which vainly obstructed their course. In some instances 
 foundations were undermined and buildings sunk down in sand and 
 debris to the second story. So resistless was the torrent that nothing 
 in its path escaped destruction — houses, bridges, fences, trees, all going 
 down before it, and combining to constitute a scene of ruin such as 
 none had ever witnessed before, and such as we hope we may never 
 look upon again. But great as was the destruction of property, it is 
 nothing in view of the loss of human life. Of those who retired to 
 rest on Sunday evening in the stricken districts, more than two hun- 
 dred were pallid corpse when the morning light broke upon the dread- 
 ful scene. More than a score of little children, who on Sunday night, 
 kneeling at their mother's knee, lisped ' Now I lay me down to sleep,' 
 realized the full significance of the petition 'ere morning broke. Their 
 bodies when found being in many instances dreadfully disfigured, their 
 delicate limbs gashed and broken, their beautiful tresses disheveled 
 and intermixed with loathful accretions. Oh 1 it was a spectacle to 
 make strong men weep and sympathetic women tremble and turn, faint- 
 ing, away. In some cases entire families were swept from their beds, 
 their houses falling in ruins upon them, and all lost together. 
 
 '• The scene early Monday moi-ning surpasses the power of lan- 
 guage to adequately describe. Thousands of people, many of whom 
 had been bereaved during the night, flocked to the scene of disaster to 
 survey the ruin, and if possible, recover the bodies of their dead wives, 
 husbands, children or friends. Hundreds of willing hands were soon 
 at work removing the debris, while hundreds of others, with bated 
 
breatli> hoping against hope that their missing ones had escaped 
 awaited the issue. As body after body was taken from the ruins, and 
 was recognized, men sobbed and women wailed, while the spectators 
 stood with uncovered heads as it was borne away. There were many 
 such scenes. A German, the bodies of whose wife and three children 
 were recovered and taken to his house, manifested every symptom of 
 insanity, all efforts of his friends failing to compose his mind. At 
 midday his condition had not improved, and it is probable the irre- 
 parable loss he sustained has permanently unsettled his mind. 
 
 "But why dwell at greater length on these harrowing details? 
 Nothing so dire, so everwhelming, so fruitful of soul arid heart agony, 
 has ever before visited our people. Let those who escaped bear their 
 full share of the burden it imposes. We cannot restore to that mother 
 her darling child; to that husband his wife; to that wife her husband; 
 but we can and should sympathise with these unfortunate people. We 
 can assist to rebuild their homes; we can provide for their temporary 
 necessities; we can, in a thousand ways, assuage their grief by kindly 
 counsel and timely pecuniary assistance. This much is demanded, not 
 only by the ties of humanity, but by the closer bond of citizenship. 
 The necessity is urgent, and we implore all — rich and poor alike—to 
 take immediate steps for the relief of our unfortunate fellow citizens." 
 
 The loss of human life and damage to property was not 
 confined to these cities but extended far beyond their territo- 
 rial boundaries, especially along the streams which penetrate 
 the surrounding hills. Within our cities the districts most 
 severely afflicted were Butcher's Run, (Madison Avenue), 
 Spring Garden valley, O'Hara Street and vicinity, and Wood's 
 Run, in Allegheny City, and Soho, Thirty-third Street, Laurel 
 Avenue, Old Avenue and vicinity, Saw Mill Run and Temper^ 
 anceville, in Pittsburgh. There was also great loss of life and 
 destruction of property in the Chartiers valley, along Mc- 
 Laughlin's Run, at Beck's Run, Painter's Run, and at Mans- 
 field. To recount the thrilling incidents and touching scenes 
 which accompanied and followed the direful calamity would re- 
 quire the space of a volume. The day after the flood, in pass- 
 ing up Chestnut Street, a crowd was seen gathered around a 
 little boy, aged seven years, upon enquiry, he gave the name 
 Georgie Hoover. He and his parents and two brothers and a 
 sister — six in all — had lived in a small house at the head of 
 Chestnut Street. The flood came, in its mad career, and over- 
 whelmed them. His family perished, but Georgie was in bed 
 and floated into the house of a Mr. Walter, where he was 
 rescued. Apparently a bright child, intelligent beyond his 
 years, he realized his homeless and friendless condition in the 
 world with an agony that was painful to behold. 
 
 Among the houses struck by the seething torrent was a small 
 frame tenement, occupied by a Mr Dillon and his family, with 
 whom at the time were the children of some neighbors, in all nine 
 persons. The little house floated rapidly frord it foundation, 
 bufietted by floating timber and angry billows. One side was 
 battered out, and the water rushed in to a considerable depth. 
 
Providentially forced against a tree, which held it like an 
 anchor, all the inmates were saved. A Mrs Jones, at Saw Mill 
 Run, had sent her little boy to a neighbors on an errand, and 
 when she saw the waters rushing past her house, and afterwards 
 dammed up until they silraost filled the volley, her fear that her 
 boy was lost became so overwhelming that she suddenly fell 
 upon the floor a corpse. 
 
 Frederick Schultz, who resided on Iten Street, above the 
 reach of the flood, heard the piercing screams of the struggling 
 and drowning victims below, rushed out, attempting to make 
 his way through the water to O'Hara Street. Finding that im- 
 possible, he swam down to Centre Street, and thence passed to 
 the vicinity of Ohio Street, where he found a skiff. Overcom- 
 ing the swift current he pushed up to Centre Street and 
 Spring Garden Avenue, and, with the assistance of two other 
 men, who got into the skiff", succeeded in reoovoring eleven 
 bodies. At times they encountered fenrful perils, and they 
 were so exhausted when the flood abated, that their lives were 
 in great peril. 
 
 One of the saddest scenes occured at a house in Union 
 Township, where two sisters resided together. One of them 
 had been for more than a year sick and self-helpless. When 
 the waters came upon them suddenly, the feeble one perished 
 and the other barely escaped. The body was discovered next 
 day and carried back to the place where their home had stood. 
 When tlie surviving sister saw it she became a raving maniac, 
 and died that night, and the two were buried in one grave. 
 
 At Bailey's Run resided a poor widow with a son, her 
 sole support. Their house was carried away by the flood and 
 her son drowned. On Monday morning, ascertaining the cer- 
 tainty of her son's death, she exclaimed, " My heart is broken 1 
 1 see my child in the clouds ! " and immediately dropped dead. 
 
 Archie Arnold, of Madison Avenue, aged twonty-two 
 3'ears, bravely entered the flood to save a neighbor's children, 
 but perished with them. 
 
 Two children were taken out alive from the immense pile 
 of debris on Fast Street. One of them, a little boy, was almost 
 unrecognizable as a human being, but still alive. The other, a 
 little girl, was found in the attic of a house which had been 
 moved and wrecked by the flood. She was greatly exhausted, 
 but not otherwise injured. 
 
 Willie Hubert, whose home was safe from the flood, has- 
 tened to the scene of danger and desolation, plunged into the 
 whirl of black waters and labored heroically in rescuing those 
 who were perishing, until he perished himself His name de- 
 serves record among the roll of those brave men who " with- 
 
out other inspiration than the voices of their souls, in the deep 
 darkness of the cloud-clad night, amid the terrific roar of rush- 
 ing waters and the crash of tumbling structures, making a 
 tumult more appalling than any shock of armed squadrons, con- 
 stituted themselves a forlorn hope to save the dying and to 
 die themselves." 
 
 " Voegtly's Meadow " was truly a valley of death and 
 destruction. The place so called is bounded by Ohio Street 
 and foot of Troy Hill, forming an angle, where the force of the 
 flood concentrated, and here many broken houses formed a kind 
 of barracade, and stayed the mighty flood. 
 
 Some who saw the flood at its height, speak of it as fear- 
 fully bewildering. They say that the streets were swimming 
 with houses, lumber, goods, horses^ cattle, and above all, men, 
 women and children ; cries and agonizing screams were heard 
 on every side, whilst flashes of lightning, intermittingly, lit up 
 with lurid glare the fearful scene, exposing struggling human 
 forms on the wild waters. Never was destruction more sudden 
 or complete. For a mile and a half up Madison Avenue, 
 (Butcher's Run), where had stood the frugal and happy home 
 of an industrious people, little remained but a scarred and track- 
 less waste. The spirit of the storm had passed, and on its track 
 was desolation and death; drowned mothers with their babes, 
 and fathers clasping sons in their asms, perished together. 
 Some had doubtless fallen into a merciful sleep, from which 
 there had been no awakening, before the angel of death came. 
 Amid the scenes when daylight came, a number were found 
 under circumstances which clearly indicated voluntary repose 
 at the fatal moment. 
 
 Amid the desolation and death thus wrought by tempest 
 and flood, thousands of surviving men, women and children 
 barely escaped death to find their comfortable homes utterly 
 destroyed and themselves without food or clothing or even a 
 shelter from the elements. But the extent of the calamity was 
 not fully realized for many hours afterwards. The citj"^ of 
 Allegheny, which had been scourged by an extensive conflagra- 
 tion on the fourth of July, was now, within three weeks there- 
 after, draped in mourning and clouded in gloom by a vastly 
 greater and more severe visitation. But as soon as the facts 
 became generally known throughout these cities the cries of 
 distress and appeals for immediate relief were promptly met 
 by universal sympathy and generous aid. But for the purpose 
 of securing organized action and more effectual work for the 
 relief of the sufferers, the Hononable Hugh S. Fleming, M ay or 
 of Allegheny, with commendable promptness issued a call for 
 a meeting at the City Hall, in that city. In response to the 
 call the meeting was organized by electing Mayor Fleming as 
 
chairman, and appointing Messrs, Arrott and Graham as secre- 
 taries. After suggestions from the Mayor and other gentle- 
 men, as to the necessity for i)rompt action, not only for the 
 relief of human sutlering, but for the removal of the debris, 
 the sanitary care of the desolated districts, the recovery of the 
 bodies of the dead and the protection of property, provision 
 was made for the emploj'ment of hundreds of laborers, and the 
 detailing of the police, and also for calling out the militia for 
 guard duty. 
 
 Mr. John S. Slagle submitted the following resolutions, 
 which were adopted unanimously: — 
 
 Resolved, That a Committee of citizens of Allegheny County be 
 appointed to collect funds for the relief of the sufferers by the flood of 
 Sunday night, July 36th, 1874, with power to appoint as many sub- 
 committees as may be necessary to do the work pi-omptly. 
 
 Resolved, That banks in Pittsburgh and Allegheny be appointed 
 depositories where persons may call and deposit such sums as they may 
 desire to contribute, without waiting to be called upon by the com- 
 mittee. 
 
 Whereupon the following banks were so designated : Real 
 Estate Bank, Working Men's Savings Bank, First National 
 Bank of Allegheny, Manchester Savings Bank, German National 
 Bank of Pittsburgh, Union National Bank of Pittsburgh, An- 
 chor Savings Bank, German American Bank, and Smithfield 
 Savings Bank of Pittsburgh. 
 
 The Chairman then appointed the following Executive 
 Committee : 
 
 •John S. Slagle, John A. Myler, D. O'Neill, A. L. Pearson and 
 Hugh M'Neill. 
 
 On motion of John A. Myler, Esq., the following com-

 Ormsby Phillips, Henry Gerwig, D. C. Herbst, R. Monroe Ken- 
 nedy, J. Lautner, Joseph Myers, W. C. Anschutz, John Megraw, 
 Joseph Home and Adam Beplar. 
 
 On motion of Josiah Cohen, Esq., it was ordered that the 
 said Executive Committee, with the Chairman of the meeting, 
 should attend the relief meeting to be held in Pittsburgh, with 
 a view to concert of action. 
 
 On motion of John A. Myler, Esq., the Mayor of Alle- 
 gheny was requested to issue a proclamation asking the people 
 to suspend business on Tuesday, July 28th, between the hours 
 of two and four o'clock, P. M. — the time designated for the 
 funerals. In compliance with the resolution. Mayor Fleming 
 issued the following 
 
PROCLAMATION! 
 
 Matok's Office. ) 
 City of Allegheny, July 27th, 1874. f 
 
 By the great calamity which has befallen our city, almost one hun- 
 dred of our citizens have been swept suddenly into eternity by the great 
 flood of Sunday last. A.t a public meeting of the citizens it was 
 resolved that the Mayor issue this Proclamation, asking all persons to 
 suspend business on to-day, between the hours of two and four, P. M., 
 as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased. In view of that 
 fact I most respectfully ask our people to suspend business between 
 the hours noted to-day. 
 
 H. S. FLEMING, Mayor. 
 
 Major-General Pearson, in compliance with the wishes of 
 the meeting, announced that he would be pleased to detail two 
 companies of the Eighteenth Division of the militia for duty, 
 and if necessaiy he would send over a regiment and take com- 
 mand himself An order was issued accordingly, calling the 
 Washington Infantry, the Heath Zouaves and Knapp's Battery, 
 together witli the Divison Staff, for doing guard and other duty 
 in the City of Allegheny; and it is proper to add that these 
 efficient military organizations performed onerous and efficient 
 work, like gallant soldiers and true men. 
 
 In pursuance of a call issued by acting Mayor Samuel Mc- 
 Masters, a meeting was held at Municipal Hall, in f'ittsburgh, 
 on Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, which was largely attended 
 by citizens of both cities, including the Allegheny Executive 
 Committee. Hon. J. K. Moorhead presided. A dispatch was 
 received from Mr. Solomon Stien, No. 180 Grand Street, New 
 York, to Mayor Blackmore, as follows : 
 
 " Draw at sight on me for $100 for sufferers by flood. If distress 
 is great, will start subscription here." 
 
 On motion of Mr. John S. Slagle, the chairman appointed 
 the following Executive Committee to act in co-operation with 
 the Allegheny Committee : — 
 
 A. M. Brown, Robert Liddell, S. J. Wainwright, J. S. Atkinson, 
 Rev. E. R. Donehoo, Wm. McCreery, Peter Connelly, and Josiah King. 
 
 On motion of A. M. Brown, John Dean, Esq., was chosen 
 Treasurer of the Relief Fund. 
 
 On motion, committees were appointed to ascertain the 
 names and residences of all the sufferers in the cities and 
 vicinity. The names of

 On motion the Executive Committee were authorized tc 
 
 2 
 
10

 to the Executive Committee, who were authorized to receive 
 and distribute the relief fund. The meeting then adjourned, 
 and the Executive Committee immediately convened and or- 
 ganized by electing A. M. Brown, Chairman, and John A. Myler, 
 Secretary. The Committee then issued the following public 
 notice : — 
 
 "The undersigned Committee appointed to receive and distribute 
 the funds contributed for the relief of the sufferers by the flood on 
 Sunday night, July 26tli, 1874, are now pre^jared to take charge of the 
 same. Contributions may be paid to John Dean, Esq., Treasurer, at

 Books for receiving subscriptions were prepared under the 
 direction of the Executive Conamittee, and furnished to the 
 sub-committees. 
 
 In addition to these regular appointments, a number of 
 energetic persons, actin-y under tlie impulses of sympathy and 
 duty, voluntarily acted as collectors and greatly promoted the 
 relief movement. Others promptly forwarded money and 
 goods for the sufferers without solicitation. This considerate 
 and well timed relief not onl}^ supplied pressing wants but 
 helped to put in motion a stream of benevolence which flowed 
 on with unparalled munificence until its work was nobly accom- 
 plished. From necessity the Executive Committee were com- 
 pelled to designate special agents in particular departments. 
 Jno. A. Myler, p]sq., of Allegheny City, and Rev. E. R. Donehoo, 
 of the South Side, Pittsburgh, both of whom had been from the 
 first, and continued until the end, most faithful, industrious 
 and self-sacrificing laborers in the good work, were made dis- 
 bursing agents for their respective districts. To Mr. Myler's 
 otherwise onerous duties, was added the work of distributing 
 to the sufferers in the other localities, not embraced in Mr. 
 Donehoo's district. Mr. Harry C. Campbell was placed in 
 charge of the clothing department, assisted by quite a number 
 of kind-hearted and benevolent ladies. 
 
 To supply the immediate wants of those whose all had 
 been swept away, large quantities of clothing and other neces- 
 saries were required, and distributed. The duties thus devolved 
 on the distributors were especially delicate and onerous. Where 
 all workers were so active and faithful, it may seem improper 
 to especially commend any particular individuals, but we feel 
 that it is our duty to make special mention of Miss Mary 
 Bryant, the Bible reader, who labored night and day aiding 
 and comforting the afflicted. In that awful night many that 
 
12 
 
 were in the flood contracted diseases that laid them on beds of 
 pain and death. With these Miss Bryant labored almost with- 
 out ceasing, not only in furnishing medicine, food and clothing, 
 but in pointing them to that bright and better world beyond 
 the flood. 
 
 The Ladies' Temperance Alliance, at their headquarters in 
 Crusade Halls, both in Pittsburgh and Allegheny, not only 
 made up material that they had purchased with their own 
 funds, and material that had been given them for that purpose, 
 but also made bedding and clothing of all the goods furnished 
 them by the Committee. 
 
 To the Ladies' Relief Societies, of both our cities, we are 
 under a deep obligation for their assistance and help — they 
 having labored in every way possible to alleviate the distress. 
 May He who ever rewards the faithful worker, bless them for 
 their work of Mercy to those in distress 
 
 We would also return our thanks to the following ladies 
 and gentlemen who labored so faithfully in the distribution 
 of clothing and other supplies at the headquarters of the Com- 
 mittee: Mrs. McEuwen, Mrs. Emma Myler, Mrs. L. H. Eaton, 
 Miss Mary Eaton, Prof. L. H. Eaton, J. T. Myler and Master 
 Johnston. 
 
 To Major General Pearson and the soldiers under his com- 
 mand the Committee desire to render thanks on behalf of the 
 people. For a few days immediately after the catastrophe the 
 flooded districts were visited by thousands of people, who came 
 out of curiosity to see the ruins. These crowds so interfered 
 with the working parties that it was decided to call upon the 
 militia to stand guard. General Pearson immediately ordered 
 the Eighteenth Division, N. G. P. into service. The assistance 
 rendered was so timely and eiEcient that it is difficult to imag- 
 ine how their services could have been dispensed with. 
 
 The saddest duty of all devolved on the Burial Com- 
 mittee. It consisted of Ormsby Phillips, Henry Gerwig, D C 
 Herbst, R. Monroe Kennedy, Joseph Lautner, Joseph Meyers, 
 W. C- Anschutz, John Megraw, Joseph Home and Adam 
 Beplar. There was such a large district to be gone over, that 
 it required a great amount of labor. The principal places 
 where there had been loss of life were the Butcher's Run district. 
 Wood's Run, Saw Mill Run and Soho. The Committee,with large 
 parties of laborers, searched through the debris and rubbish for 
 bodies until all were found. The bodies were all taken charge 
 of and properly dressed and prepared for burial by the Com- 
 mittee. In many cases friends of the deceased took charge of 
 the remains, but where there were no loving hands to perform 
 this last sad duty, the Committee tenderly cared for them, the 
 
13 
 
 expense being paid out of the relief fund. All the bodies, with 
 one exception, were reeoved. The missing one was a small child 
 which had probably been carried into the river and buried 
 beneath the sand and rubbish. The arduous duties of the Burial 
 Committee were promptly and acceptably performed, entitling 
 the members thereof to our thanks and gratitude. There were 
 five orphan children, for whom the Committee considered it their 
 duty to make special provision. These orphans were left 
 homeless, friendless and pennyless, and some of them in feeble 
 health. There names and ages were as follows: Mena Schnef- 
 fer, aged 16; Susan Conlon, aged 16; Jacob Metzler, aged 1 
 years; Susan Metzler, aged 4 years, (since deceased), and Geo. 
 Huber. These childi'en were all properly cared for, and are 
 in good places where they will be carefully trained and edu- 
 cated. Little Susan Metzler did not long survive her family. 
 She was a sweet, intelligent child, and has gone to Him who 
 said, " Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto 
 rae, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." 
 
 The Executive Committee have deposited in the Third Na- 
 tional Bank, of Allegheny, for each of these children the sum of 
 three hundred and fifty dollars, at compound interest, to be paid 
 to them res)3ectively, when they arrive at twentj^-one years of 
 age. Should any of them die before reaching that age, then the 
 portion of such decedent is to be divided equally between the 
 Alleghenv Orphans' Asylum and the Catholic Orphans' 
 Asylum, (Troy Hill.) 
 
 The response of the people of Pittsburgh and Allegheny to 
 the call for relief was so spontaneous and munificent that it be- 
 canje at once evident that our people were not only willing but 
 able to make instant and ample provision for their stricken 
 fellow citizens. Although words of kindness and sympathy 
 were spoken in our behalf by many newspapers all over the 
 country, and suggestions made by them as to the duty of the 
 citizens of other cities to give us substantial help, the sentiment 
 here seemed to be adverse to any appeal for aid from abroad, 
 therefore the Executive Committee made no efl["ort in that 
 direction. But it is proper to state that a number of non-resi- 
 dent individuals and corporations, closely allied to citizens of 
 Pittsburgh and Allegheny and their commercial interests, made 
 generous subscriptions to the Relief Fund. The names of all 
 such appear in the list of contributions appended to this report. 
 After full information had been obtained, both as to the extent 
 of the loss and the relief needed, it became apparent that the 
 fund was likely to prove inadequate, therefore the Committee 
 published the following appeal addressed to Pittsburgh and 
 Allegheny corporations and firms alone : — 
 
u 
 
 APPEAL! 
 
 The Executive Relief Cortimittee have been greatly e-Rcauraged 
 and generously supported in their effoi'ts to relieve the present wants 
 of the sufferers by the Hood, by the liberal subscriptions already re- 
 ceived — mainly from those of small means; but the amount thus far 
 subscribed will aftbrd only temporary relief, and fall far short of the 
 work which should be accomplished. Believing that our corporations, 
 manufacturers, merchants, and capitahsts, have the ability as well as 
 the inclination to do their whole duty in this emergency, when pro- 
 perly Kdvised of the necessity for action, the Committee, being unable 
 to make a direct personal application, take this method of soliciting 
 such generous subscriptions from banks, insui'ance companies, railway 
 and bridge companies, and other corporations and manufacturing and 
 mercantile firms in and around our own two cities, as shall be worthy 
 of their sturdy financial abilitj'- and accustomed liberality, and com- 
 mensurate with the dutj devolving upon them in view of the dire 
 calamity which obliterated so many homes, destroyed so many indus- 
 trious lives, and left in its track only sorrow, desolation and death. 
 
 Mainly upon those least able to bear the burden has this great 
 misfortune fallen. 
 
 It is the privilege, as well as the duty of those whose homes and for- 
 tunes have been mercifully preserved, to assist in the good work of pro- 
 viding for the helpless and homeless, and restoring as best they can the 
 pecuniary loss which the afflicted have sustained. This much we can do, 
 leaving yet unrestored bereaved homes, blighted lives, and broken hearts. 
 In such an emergency we suggest veryfaintly and imperfectly the duty of 
 the hour. We should have one hundred thousand dollars within the 
 present week. Large as that sum seems, it is utterly insignificant in 
 comparison with the ascertained loss. Liberal as hundreds have been, 
 tbe aggregate subscriptions fall far short of half the sum mentioned. 
 We thereiore appeal earnestly and hopefully for instant and generous 
 action towards the accomplishment of the duty devolving upon us.

 The response was gratifyingly prompt and liberal. The 
 Pennsylvania Railroad Company responded as follows 
 
 Pennsylvania Railboad Co. 
 Office of the Third Vice-President, 
 Philadelphia, Pa., August 13, 1874. 
 
 A. M. Brown, Esq., Chairman Citizens' Executive Relief Committee, 
 Pittsburgh, Pa. 
 
 Mt Dear Sir : — At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the 
 Pennsylvania Railroad Company held August 12, 1874, it was 
 
 Besohed, That five thoiisand dollars be donated by this Company 
 toward the fund being raised by the Citizens' Executive Relief Com- 
 mittee of Pittsburgh, Pa., in aid of the sufferers by the flood of July 
 26, 1874. 
 
 I accordingly have the pleasure to enclose a voucher for the sum 
 named, in favor of John Dean, Esq., Treasurer, which will be cashed 
 by the Merchants and Manufacturers Bank of Pittsburgh. 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 A. J. CASSATT.

 Othei's sent generous contributions, until the fund reached 
 an amount far above our first expectations. Thomas Sparks, 
 Esq., President of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Com- 
 pany, sent five hundred dollars. The Allegheny Quartette 
 Club contributed $562 30, the proceeds of a Concert given 
 by them The guests and employees of the Mountain House, 
 Cresson, Pa., sent $152 50, The Duquesne Greys, encamped 
 at Bedford Springs, gave $200. 
 
 Amongst other expressions of sympathy, with substantial 
 aid, was the following ; — 
 
 Philadelphia, Pa., July 31, 1874. 
 Mr. George M. Dosh, Allegheny Gity : ^^7>X^,,^ 
 
 Dear Sir. Enclosed please find our check for e^Ur hundred 
 dollars for the relief of the sufferers by the recent flood. We know 
 you need this kind of tangible sympathy more than volumes of pathetic 
 words. 
 
 Please endorse the check over to the Mayor or the Committee hav- 
 ing charge of the Relief Fund. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 ZQWS. B. ELLISON & SONS. 
 
 The Philharmonic Society of Pittsburgh, an orchestra of 
 more than thirtj^ men, kindly tendered their professional ser- 
 vices for a Concert in aid of the sufferers, but the Executive 
 Committee did not feel warranted in undertaking the matter 
 and therefore respectfully declined the generous offer. 
 
 The apportionment and distribution of the fund was an 
 arduous task. No one who did not participate in the work 
 can fully appreciate the delicacy and difficulty of the underta- 
 kin g. The trust devolved upon the Executive Committe re- 
 quired for its impartial and jj^ust execution a systematic plan, 
 prompt action, correct iiiformation of the circumstances of 
 applicants for r-elief, and of the losses which thej^^had sustained, 
 the examination of statements and proofs of loss, and the dis- 
 pensation of even-handed justice to all, and yet the making of 
 special provision for extreme cases of hardship and destitution. 
 All this, and more, was involved in the great work, and it de- 
 manded the highest fidelity and discrimination in those appoin- 
 ted to distribute the public bounty. To reach the desired result 
 it was necessar}^ to devolve the most important part of the work 
 upon a ,few individuals. That plan tended to secure expertness 
 and accuracy, and guarded against inequality, imposition or 
 fraud. 
 
 Some applicants would not have been satisfied had they 
 obtained twice as much as they were justl}' entitled to, whilst 
 others more worthy and not less unfortunate, hesitated to accept 
 any part of the fund. Again, there were individuals claiming 
 
16 
 
 a share of the public bounty, who, although they had really 
 sustained serious loss by the flood, were still far richer than 
 a majority' of those who had contributed to the Relief Fund! 
 Indeed, the distributors were subjected to insult and abuse 
 because the}'^ refused to turn over a portion of the monej"^ to 
 applicants whose tax list and income indicated not onl^ pecuni- 
 ary abilit}', but actual wealth, and whose real losses by the flood 
 tvere inconsiderable. 
 
 Fraud and imposition was attempted in numerous instances. 
 Genteel iraposte^'s as well as vagrants in rags often attempted 
 to obtain, through false pretences and fraud, portions of the 
 fund, but were rarely, if ever, successful. False affidavits, 
 forged certificates and fraudulent vouchers were not infrequently 
 presented in support of dishonest claims, but, thanks to the 
 vigilence and integrity of the Committee's agents, these at- 
 tempted villanies were generall}', if not entirely, unsuccessful. 
 It was interesting to observe the numerous applicants for 
 relief. Some were utterly heartbroken and disconsolate, i,nd 
 begged for something to eat, wiiile others appeared with item- 
 ized nccounts of their losses and demanded payment in full, 
 and that instantly. Others who had lost everything, and were 
 without food, clothing or shelter, humbly and thankfully 
 accepted what v^^as given to them. And had those who so 
 generouslj' and nobly provided the Relief Fund been present 
 to witness its disbursement, and the relief and comfort which 
 it brought lo many a stricken heart and desolate home, they 
 certainly would have realized the great truth, " It is more 
 blessed to give than to receive," 
 
 How successful the Committee have been in executing the 
 great trust is a matter for the judgment of their constituents 
 to determine. This much they gan say, that neither time nor 
 labor was regarded in the accomplishment of their work. They, 
 doubtless, often erred in judgment, but their sincere desire was to 
 discharge the trust in accordance with the design of those who so 
 generously created it, so as to be just to all and secure the great- 
 est good to the largest numbers of sufferers. Some idea ma}' be 
 formed of the herculean task when we state that at the office of 
 Mr. Myler alone there were fifteen hundi-ed applicants for relief. 
 At the headquarters of Rev. Donehoo, South Side, Pittsbui'gh, 
 the number was also very large. The schedule of distribution 
 appended to this report exhibits the disposition of the 
 fund, but necessarily fails to suggest to the mind of the reader 
 the faintest idea of the patient toil, diligence, anxiety and care 
 by which it was successfully accomplished. The Executive 
 Committee would fail in the performance of duty if they neg- 
 lected to express their gratitude to their special agents who 
 performed the most difficult, important and delicate portion of 
 
17 
 
 the work with admirable ability, integrity and success. As al- 
 ready stated, John A. Myler, Esq., was the active agent who 
 performed or superintended the distribution made to sufferers 
 in the City of Alleghen}' and vicinity, and in the City of Pitts- 
 burgh, between the rivers. This duty involved weeks and 
 months^ of constant toil and sacrifice of personal interests and 
 business, and required patient investigation, sleepless vigilance 
 and care, intelligent judgment and unswerving impartiality and 
 integrity. 
 
 Upon the Rev. E. R. Donehoo devolved like duties for the 
 South Side, (Pittsburgh), district, and the region of country 
 be3^ond. His labors in that district were onerous and incessant. 
 Besides the distribution of money, food and clothing to the 
 destitute, he was diligent and faithful in the performance of 
 good deeds of benevolence and mercy, alleviating pain and dis- 
 tress and restoring hope and comfort in many desponding 
 hearts and desolated homes. Both of these gentlemen did 
 their whole duty, and did it so well, that words fail to express 
 with sufficient power the extent of our admiration and gratitude. 
 
 To John Dean, Esq., Treasurer of the Relief Fund, we, 
 as well as the- public, are indebted for his able and faithful per- 
 formance of responsible duties. Conscious of the important 
 trust devolved upon him hj his fellow citizens, he was a dili- 
 gent and efficient worker, not only in promoting the relief move- 
 ment, but in conducting it to a successful solution. 
 
 In submitting this report of our administration of the 
 Relief Fund, we have redeemed a promise made to our con- 
 stituents and to the public at large, and have enabled those 
 who had 
 
 "A tear for pity, and a hand 
 
 Open as day for melting charity," 
 
 to contemplate the breadth of comfort and happiness with which 
 their benovolence, as sunlight of heaven, illuminated the hearts 
 and homes of a multitude of people.

 COMMITTEE. 
 
 DANIEL BULFORD, S. S. BOGGS, G. R. NEELD, 
 
 J. P. HERSHBERGER^ JOHN GILFILLAN. 
 
 The territory included in this district embraces all that por' 
 lion of Allegheny County lying south of the Ohio and Monon- 
 gahela Rivers. The greatest loss of life and property was ex*- 
 perienced on Saw Mill Run and its tributaries. 
 
 Much loss was suffered by persons dwelling in the vicinity 
 of Beck's Run, CarapbelPs Run, Whiskey Run, Chartiers 
 Creek, Painter's Run and McLaughlin's Run. 
 
 No correct estimate can be made of the loss in property 
 sHistained by this calamitous flood ^ no report being made to 
 this Committee of public losses in bridges swept away, and 
 streets and highways damaged, but from the reports of the 
 Street Commissioner and County Commissioners We infer that 
 the loss was a most serious one. 
 
 The losses in private propert}'^ reported to this Committee 
 amount in the aggregate to more than $250,000. A large por- 
 tion of this loss falls on those who are least able to bear it — 
 persons in limited circumstances. Some lost all that they had 
 and were left in utter destitution. 
 
 Besides the cash relief given, as reported, the Com- 
 
 11 
 
54 
 
 mittee distributed Suits of Men and Boy's Clothing, and pairs 
 of Shoes of all sizes, about 1 00 Bed Comforts, Bed Tickings, 
 Sheets and Pillow Cases, besides a large quantity of miscella- 
 neous articles which had been donated to the Committee. 
 
 Messrs, Reese Owens & Co. donated 50 Sugar Cured 
 HamSy which were distributed to the needy poor. J, N. 
 Thackery donated goods to the value of $5. Rei&ick & Co.,i 
 gave an order for furniture, which order was honored and the 
 goods distributed. 
 
 Under direction of a Committee of Ladies, consisting of 
 Miss Nettie Caruahan (since deceased), Miss Maggie Deans, 
 Mrs. Dr. Stephenson, Mrs. Weaver and others, the dry goods 
 were distributed to the needy. The shoes \nd clothing were 
 given out under the direction of Daniel Bulford and Rev. J. L. 
 Deans. 
 
 Through the kindness of the officers of the Odd Fellows' 
 Lodge, the Committee were allowed the free use of a num- 
 ber of rooms in their very comfortable building so long as 
 needful. 
 
 With the highest appreciation of the great liberality and 
 sympathy manifested by the public in helping on this good 
 work, we close our report, thankful to God that he prompted 
 men to respond so generously when their fellow men were in so 
 great need of assistance.
