beautiful young woman. ANY one know
her?" called out committeeman. A
crowd passed the box but no one called
her name. On the face was a beautiful
expression OF peace. Tho features were
fine and the clothing elegant The only
Disagreement was an ugly cut on the left

and the remains OF several negroes. The
distance to st. Columbia's Catholic Church
is half mile. The streets are flied with
broken houses, and people in those that
there were left standing were busy shov-
cling mud from the first floors. The scene
at st. Columbia's Church was awful. Forty
or fifty bodies had been carried into it and
laid on the muddy seats. The following
had been identified at o'clock y. M;
Kate Frank, Charles A. Keisse, james
Lightner and wife, Justice OF the Peace;
Edward 0Ncils baby, Louis Wineseler
and wife, Miss Rose McAnanery, Mrs.
James +. McConaughty, Ganney Kelan,
Thomas Fagin, Mrs. L. Huber, Mrs.
llutchin, Thomas, son Of Michael Hayes.
Lying in n row in this church were live
children from two TO six years old. No one
had identified them this afternoon. Their
little curls were matted with mud. Their
nostiils were filed with sand and their
eyes often completely covered. No one
had come to wash away the dirt from their
tiny faces nor the blood stains from the
swiul GUS and bruises. Where are their
