SUMMARY OF THE WRECK.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 29.-The
streets in the district worst damaged
are still pioketed, but except between
Eleventh and Twelfth on Market street
the street cars now run freely and
wagons and all but mere sightseers are
allowed to pass. Hundreds of men are
busy in the ruins saving stocks of goods
anu private property.
The excellent work done by the board
Of trade committees in cenvassing and
learning the names of actual residents
and sufferers in the storm stricken section
renders the position for the purposes of
robbery next to impossible, and people
are allowed to go freely to their ruined
homes with their friends and employees,
and recover what they can. Many of
them employed at work in wreckage
are paid by the board of trade commit
tee, and whenever help is desired it is
given.
At Falls City hall about sixty men,
under direction of Chief of Police TAYLOR,
were still at work. Broken tlmbers and
brick are piled fifteen feet high on each
side of the street for a hundred yards.
On the site of the ruined hall there are
mounds of brick, mortar and beams all
in wild confusion, and men digging at
the base of them,
HUNTING FOR THE DEAD.
In all sixty-seven bodies have been
taken ont of there. The last is that of
G. Lazarus. He was in attendance upon
the lodge meeting. HIS body, mangled
almost beyond recognition, was taken TO
the Temporary at Lu0
Eleventh and Main.
The body of Ed Moran, foundryman in |
Dennis Longs iron pipe works, |
was discovered wedged in between |
the beams and hogsheads of tobacco.
The remains were taken to his home on |
Twelfth street near Main. where his wife |
and four little ones had been kept in |
anguished suspense at his absence. The |
family will be in want and this is only one |
case out of several dozen similar, but |
citizens are coming up bravely with SUBJ
scriptions and all needs are being /
promptly met for the present.
The total insurance it is believed will |
not exceed S125, 600. OF this 500 900 is |
life insurance. The life insurance is
upon Iaborers and middle class people,
and in small companies and in Knights of
Honor. About $50, 900 is in the Knights
Of Honor and will be promptly paid by
assessment of eighty cents upon mem
bers. The remaining $50 ZOO in the ten
cents-a-week companies may break
those companies, realizing only a small
part to policy holders. The cyclone poll
icy is estimated at $40, 600.
The entire loss of life will not go over
100, if that number is reached. Up to
this writing the total number killed at
huOsS DOutOS HdN6 D6eu re-
covered, and OF missing whom 1t is rea-
,onably certain are dead, is eighty eight.
In addition to these there are about
iozen who are injured and death may
snsue, although fatal results are not an
IN most cases. About $50 TO
200 persons were injured TO an extent
worth noticing, and probably 800 to 1000
more have bruises and scratches that do
1ot Inconvenience them.
THE MASONIC COMMITTEE
1as wired the following to Commander
Burdick, grand master, at Toledo, Ohio:
"From what we can gather, there are
about 400 houses destroyed, 800 persons
injured. but still alive, of whom 90 per
cent. viii probably die from their injuries.
One hundred and twenty-five are now
lead. The citizens seem DESTROYS of car
ng for their own dead and injured.
Only one lodge room was destroyed, but
10 lives lost. AS far as known, only one
Mason was injured, and he not danger
,usly.
