A STATE OF CHAOS.

The condition Of things in and around
Wilkesbarre continues in state OF chaos,
although extra efforts are being put
forth by the people to clear the streets
and relieve badly situated families. The
great number Of uuroofed houses were
left to the mercy Of the rain storm which
prevailed with unusual severity all
through the night. This added much
to the damage, and the estimates OF last
nights dispatches are mauitestly too
amall. Two thousand people are on the
streets viewing the devastation, and the
best OF order prevails. Another fatality
has been brought to light, the body Of

storm, swept up Main street, razins the
buildings OIL the west side of the

with heavy baud. The beautiful shade
trees were cast into the street. Then 1t
struck the handsome residences, green
houses, pottery works, etc, along May

rope works was terrible. The immense
building was badly injured, aud in the
debris lay the dead and injured, the lat

men at these works exceeds twelve, aud
there were two killed. Terrible was the

FOUND DEAD WITH HER BABE.

Mls' El'za Mc1lnley, aged about 2S
years, and tbebabe she had to her breast
were crushed to death. John Mckinley,
aged l3 years, was crushed to death.
Mary Jane Mckinley, little daughter,
was severely hurt and crushed. The
family OF James Henegan could not be
found in the ruins Of their home aud fears
are entertained that all perished. The
Barber Asphalt Company's works we,c
blown down, and Brown l. Co.'S man.
moth business block is amcug the ruins.
The Murray coal breaker was partially
destroyed with heavy loss. The nam
moth Hollenback breaker is complete
wreck. The fans were stopped while
twenty-seven men were at work in the
Hillman vein, but luckily they were
able to start right away, and, although
the holsting machinery was damaged,
the work Of conveying the men to the
top was accomplished without accident.
Three hundred girls were at work in
Galland's underwear factory on South
Washington street. All were manic
stricken when the storm came. Mr..
Galland rushed among them and en-:
deavored to calm aud keep them to.
gether but four or five rushed out and
were slightly injured.
The Ninth regiment is on duty in an.

Unemployed men will bs pressed into
service to clean the streets of fallen
trees. telegraph poles and wires. A
careful estimate places tho number OF
buildings demolished and partially de-
stroyed at nearly 400, and some think it
will exceed this figure. The loss will
probably reach nearly, il not quite one
million dollars, although in the present
chaos no possible means OF making a
close estimate exists. At the city hos.
pital several victims are cared for. Some
OF them cannot possibly survive.
