Clearing Up the Wreck.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 29.-The
weather today is spring like and favor
able for the wcrl of clearing up the de-
hris, The great center OF interest is
still the debris that represents whnt
was once the four-storied Falls City
hall. In thoroughfares leading
into Market street, near the
scene of the great disaster, thousands OF
persons ara standing watching the de-
voted band of laborers removing debris
in the hope of uncnvering the mutilated
form Of u victim. Inside the ropes the
gray cloaked militia keeps stern watch
with the tagged out policemen. Ninety
two have been taken from the Falls
City hall and the cellar at Eighteenth
and Magazine streets. 1t is the
general belief that there are twenty
more bodies in the dancing hall ruins.
The latest and most Intelligent esti-
mate Of the total number of dead
throughout the city will not exceed l5o
persons. This is careful and partly ac-
curatc.
There are various estimates as to the
material ioas. a conservative calcula-
tion makes it about $1,000, 900. Many
place it at considerab lie more than that.
Dun estimates it at s., 500, 900. Prompt
measures are being taken for the relief
of tho sufferers. Sixty thousand dol
lars has been subscribed by the city
council and citizens and there is every
reason to say Louisville can and will
prove equal to caring for hor unfortun-
ates.

He Hears Further About che Case.
The end Of the case of Detective George
Douglas against the Police Commlssi on
ers has not been reached yet. r. will be
remembered that Douglas while a detec-
tive was ordered to do patrol duty in uni
form, but without losing his rank and at
a detectives compensation. He refused
to obey the order and was dismissed The
case was certioraried to the Supreme
Court. and the Court there decided that
under the tenure OF office act the Police
Commissioners had no right to degrade
tective to that of Datrolman and to
order him to go into uniform and patrol
q post.
This decision appears to have been rem
dered under misrepresentation of the
facts in the case, for the salary OF Doug
las was not decreased. Nor was he dis
missed as detective.
Douglas, however has acted on the de-
cision aud a couple OF days ago he pre-
scented himself to Chief Murphy and re-

A BABE SUFFoCATED.


The Last of Three Little Children Who
We're Found Dead In Bed.
Death has placed its heavy hand upon
the fiye-months-old son of Adrianus Geer-
lof, of No. 2I1 Provost street. who is en-
ployed by the Swift Beef Company in a
peculiar manner. When its father left
for his work at twelve o'clock last night,
the child was as lively as could be. A
neigbhor was in the room at the time
and says there was nothing the matter
with it.
Mrs. Geerlof went to bed soon after
with the child in her arms When she
awoke at half-past one the little one was
cold in DEATH She was nearly wild with
grief, aud the tenants had to come in ana
quiet her. The father was summoned
and was much overcome by the sudden
ness of the shock. He says he has lost
two children before in just this same
manner, and cannot understand it, He
has lost. five children in all. and has three
living. The children ali receive good
care and are fat aud healthy looking.
The County Physician has been notified
The child never had a sick day, to speak
of, other than the small ills usual to in
fancy. County Physician Converse
learned, on inquiry, that the mother had
put her babe TO breast and gone to sleep.
The little one buried its nose in the
breast and was suffocated
A certificate OF death from everything
was given.

IN a PECK OF TROUBLE.



Special to the Sunday Morning Ne,os
NEWARK, Nov. 20. 1890. Today was
fixed as the time when Prosecutor Crane
was expected to present affidavits in sup
port of his application made on Saturday
last in the Circuit Court for a rule TO
show cause why the proprietors of the
Sunday Standard should not be attached
for contempt for publishing certain
structures upon members of the late
Grand Jury, charging them with being
disgrace to Essex County, false to their
oaths, etc. After every other case in the
Circuit Court had been disposed of
Prosecutor Crane appeared before Judge
Depue.
"Since brought the matter TO your at
tention,n said Mr.. Crane. zone OF the per-
sons who thought his name had been
mentioned in these proceedings called
upon me and said that as he referring
presumably to Frank M. McDermit) had

trial for libel he would ask that the pro-
ceedings In contempt should be post
poned until after the trial. / have pre-
pared the papers, however, and [ am

II cannot see that there is any connec-

ceedings and the trial for libel,1' said

THE CONTRAST.

How Cooper's HaIl Becomes Metamor.
phosed Between Morning aud Night.
The little room in which the First Dis
trict Police Court is at present temporar-
lily held while awaiting the completion OF
the new Headquarters building, affords,
perhaps, as great a contrast in its night
and morning scenes as can well be i'm
agined. In the morning a stern Judge,
surrounded by court officers, policemen
in uniform, lawyers. reporters. witnesses
and lobby Of hoodlums and the morbidiy
curious idlers. In the front row OF seats
q line of fearful women. often in silks,
but oftener in the frowsy garments OF
the iudolent and unfortunate. In the
prisoners pen mayhap broken headed
''drunk" or q run-crazed and fallen wo-
man.
At night how different the scene. The
walls and curses of the prisoners are sup
planted by the buzz OF merry converse
tion aud the strains of orchestral music
that floats in from one of the finest ball
rooms OF the city. the furniture with the
exception Of the judges desk, is changed,
and around the tables gather women IN
pretty costumes, from whose eyes fash
the light Of an happy existence. With
their escorts they SIP the choicest cham
pagnes and amber colored fluids between
the dances.

About two hundred persons. some of

Henry A. Green, who for eighteen years
held the Office OF Postmaster in this city,
and was an important factor in Republi-

The walls OF the present building are

Mr.. Green, though his hair and whlsk-

greatly since that time. His confreres at
that time included Thomas James, Au-

Robert Earle and Mr.. Rappelyea. He
was also Il member OF the Board OF Edu-
cation about that time.
Prior to his first appointment as POST
master Mr. Green ran tor the office of

efforts Of independents in his own party;
