LOUISVILLE, KY, March S1.-Much Of
she excitement and terror have now
subsidized, and Louisville is able to make
more accurate estimates of her dead and
wounded.
There may be a number OF persons
yet under the gaeat pile of ruins At
Falls City Hall, but it is doubtful. No
many fallen buildings in the western
portion of the city, and bodies may be
discovered several days hence. It will
for some time be impossible to give the
exact number of the dead, as q great
many persons who are undoubtedly safe
are still missing. For this reason tho
dozens whose relatives and friends are
still hunting for them cannot be counted
as dead. Several persons believed to be
dead have been found alive in other
cities.
Eighty-si bodies have thus far been
recovered at this point. The total esti-
mate of deaths is now placed at 1876, the
most conservative estimate.
Houses are at a premium, and in many
cases whole families are compelled to
huddle together in one room.
Relief measures are going on, sub
scriptions coming in from all over
the country. Emma Abbott sent a
characteristic letter and a check for
$1,000. Kentucky Representatives in
Congress sent $500. Richard Mansfield
offers the entire weeks receipts at Mac
Auley's Theatre. G. P. HUNTINGTON sent
check for $4,000.
A continual procession of hearses,
followed by mourners in carriages, fled
by Broadway to Cave Hill Cemetery all
day yesterday. 1t seemed that the en-
tire city had formed into funeral pro-
cessions. There were, in all, ninety
burials in that city of the dead.
From over the State the news Is APP
palling. The tornado cut out q swath
almost from one end of Kentucky to the
other, and it left a mark of death and
destruction all the way.
In Webster County alone it is ssti
mated that at least fifty people were
killed. One can ride seventeen miles
across country without finding q fence
or whole house. The scene is one of
utter desolation.
Trees were wrenched from the ground
and thrown across roadways. Barns
were torn from their foundations and
dashed to debris, scattered over 1OO-acre
fields. Nearly 100 people were injured
and many will die. The property loss
will not fall short of $3.50. 900.

THE STRIKE IN SCOTLAND.
The Men Claim That They Can Renal,

The Men Claim That They Can Remain
Out for SIX Weeks.
GLASGOW, Dec. 26.-The railroad strike CON-
tinues to hold business almost ct standstill
and cause Inconvenience and annoyance to
many thousands. The statement that the fam
lies of the strikers are beginning to feel the ef-
fects of the strike 10 denied by the men who
are ''out" The latter claim that they are in Q
position TO hold out for ct least nix weeks,
their families or to themselves. Up to the
present, with the exception Of hootirg and oc-
casionally stoning an obnoxious employee who
may have remained loyal to the railroad COM
punies, there have been but few acts Of vio-
lence. This, to q great degree, Is due TO the
precautions taken by the police.
The North British Railroad Company il max
ing strong efforts 70 secure the services of as
many new hands a. possible, in order to
keep up the fight against the strikers. So
far the company has met with some success
and the result IL that they have succeeded
in bringing about slight improvement In the
traffic, which they keep moving along the lines
As result OF unofficial conferences which have
taken place between the railroad officials and
Of the strikers the latter have
agreed to send o deputation to confer with the
board OF directors Of the North British Com
pany, on the condition, however, that the SEC
Rotary of the local labor organization to which
the strikers belong is permitted to be present
at the meeting.
The railroad men on strike in Aberdeen and
neighborhood have resumed work, the differ
ences between themselves and their employers
having been settled.

Not "A Leg, but am Arm.

Paris Dspa ch to the London Daily Telegraph.
Caricaturists continue TO give 3 considerable
deal of trouble to Partisan magistrates and few
eccentric strokes of the pencil frequently evoke
long legal disquisitions which are not altogether
devoid Of entertainment. Thus, an illus
trated newspaper which maintains a fair artistic
reputation has been engaging magisterial at
tention again by reason of the pictorial
vagaries of one of its staff Of sketchers. This
gentleman published lately a cartoon dedicated
to an elderly woman supposed to represent the
censorship. "Anastasie.' AZ the ancient female

the manager of the paper. had to appear before
the ninth chamber of correctional police in
order to answer the charges preferred against
them. The Official acting as public prosecutor
maintained that the picture was indecent, and
pointed to The position OF a leg drawn therein.
That Is not !: leg, but an arm, answered the
artist who drew il. whereupon there ensued a
scene almost similar TO that which took place
of yore. when the famous caricaturist Philipon
was summoned for having sketched a pear"
which happened to bear a striking resemblance
to the august countenance of his majesty. the
citizen king. The artist argued and limned
legs ami arms in profusion with his nimble pen
Gil, affirming solemnly that he had intended TO
portray the opposite of what he was reproached
with by the prosecution. Eventually the case
was adjourned in order to enable the caricatur-
list to produce his original design. This clinched
the matter, and the magistrates. after having
examined the primary sketch closely. decided
in favor of the artist. The case against the
pictorial periodical was accordingly dismissed

A Gigantic Conspiracy to Circulate Counter

PIrrsBURG, Pa. Dec. ga gigantic con-
spiracy to food the United States with counter
felt silver dollars has been unearthed, and to
the energy and intelligence of the officials of
the first police district Of Pittsburg is due the
credit. Nineteen persons are already under

hands OF the police. The money was
brought from central depot in New

The money was all in silver dollars, and
United States Detective Sweeny says it is the
best counterfeit of the standard silver dollar
that ever made. The coin is perfectly
formed in every detail and its ring is identical
with the good coin. the only fault about it be-
ing little light in weight.
Two OF the Italians named FL Darigo and
Nelson Maggorina accompanied by their wives,

bar of the Black Bear Hotel, but were detected
by the proprietor and arrested. The party at

of course it is always interesting to read Of
such men as Prof. Anderson, Paul Mo-phy.
James Wyllye. DIR. Richard Yates Steinitz
Gunsberg and others noted in the ''chess and
checker literature" of Europe and America. and
besides these two games of chess and checkers re
purely games of mental skill. However, il was
not our purpose to write a dissertation on the
mental discipline of this highly intellectual
recreation, but more particularly to call atten-
ton to the peculiar character Of mind displs we'd
by Mr.. Reed in playing ten games at once
without ever seeing the boards. He sits with
his face TO the wall and he knows the boards as
lone, two, three, and on. II he is to play first
he calls his play on board number lone. two.
three," and 80 forth, in their regular numerical
order. After play is called he simply holds
that play and position in his mind, and the same
is true OF all other plays. At any stage in the
game he can stop and tell just how the men are
placed on any one board or he can go back and
trace all the games through from the beginning
or if any one of his opponents has made diff
ferent play he will give the proper reply.
These things are referred to because of
the belief that in some way they are connected
with the mysterious arithmetical power dis
played by Zerah Colburn and George Bidder
prodigies in their day. In reading the accounts
Of their wonderful handling of figures they ex-
planned that the numbers they wanted appeared
to come instantly into consciousness. or. as they
expressed it. they Just saw the results" One Of
the boys was asked IL certain large number IL
''prime or composite" and il ',composite"

told the factors. and it required long time for
able mathematicians to test the truth or falsity
Of his reply and they found the result he gave
as being the only correct one.
