4 TESTIMONIAL TO HIS FAMILY.
Our City Clergy on the Disaster.
Yesterday saw in no viii! diminished the feel
ing and interest Of our community in the great
catastrophe Of Friday last. From an early hour
in the day, until last evening crowds tnog
abou! the Court House where the inquests be-
fore the Coroner'a Jury were in progress.
Many we're drawn thither By s. ympatby, perhaps
curiosity, but there were many mourners u.k-
ing Information Of tie loved snd lost. all
classes Of citizens pressed in the throng ebout
the door, for commoD humanity had suffered
alike, and within on the floor Of the larger base.
ment Office, ghastly rows Of corpses. stark and
still, bruised by the violence of Implying ele-
ments. reft Of clothiDg, dis6gured by sand,
were the handiwo1k of the great leyeier Death,
who thus placed side by aide the wealthy and
the poor, the high md low, those who in life
had little Of thought or feeling in conmon with
each other.
By the morning train from Milwaukee many
citizens came down, some Of them ths delega.-
ed representatives.. of that community, others
on the sad errand, in quest for uiasing friends.
OF this litter far larger number will arrive
to-day, the humane acticn Of the Common
Council of Milwaukee in concert With the Chi
cago & Milwaukee railroad company placing
fares at nominal sum, and free to all who in
the discretion OF the Aldermen and Mayor may
from narrow circumstances deserve the same,
The Milwaukee Common Council have passed
q vote to defray all the expenses incident to the
return of their dead to that city, in all cases
where The mems Of relatives are narrow, as is
the case with many. Chief Of P,,lice Beck
rearhed here Jestecday, duly authorized TO rs-
ceive charge Of these dead, and receipt for all
property saved and belonging in Milwaukee.
A committee Of citizena of Milwaukee arrived
previous to the the above, sud have been most
intelligent aud active in the identification Of
tho unfortunate dead. The following explains
