NAMING THE DEAD.
LOuisvilIe's List Only 75, But
Other Places Report "A
More Killed.
List of the Dead so Far as Known.

published OF those killed in Louisville
by Thursday nights storm. Persons
who were missing have been reported
dead and have since turned up all
right. The published lists have con
tanned duplication of names-for in
stance, name would be spelled two
ways and would then be put down on
the list twice, thus causing the list to
swell. For instance, Engelmeir and
Angermeir both appeared on the death
list, and both referred to the same
person G. H. Hathaway, of Chicago,
and Chas. Hassenbreuck, of Philadel-
phia, were reported killed at Virgil
Wright's, but both are all right. The
Gaddy family, colored, three in num-
Der, and a boarder named Smith, were
killed in Congress alley and at the
same time it was reported that a
Smith family of four persons were
killed. The cases were, however, the
same, and a correction of this one
error cuts down the death list by four.
Such errors are unfortunate, but un-
der the confusion that has reigned
they were not unnatural. Coroner Mil
Ter says that in one case the death of
the same man was reported to him
under three different names.
The Coroner has prepared list of
the killed whom he viewed in his of
fetal capacity, and if it is complete,
the death-list will fall far below even
the lowest estimation.
