tional subscriptions, and all cases of desti-
tuition where immediate action is neces-
sary have been cared for. Tomorrow
thorough system will be put in operation
by which everybody who needs aid will be
given relief.
Wherever the houses are net too badly
damaged repairs will be made at once.
The amount of the fund now in the hands
of the Treasurer is about $4,000 and this
is being added to tonight.
Offers of aid have been reserved from
number of outside cities, but the Board Of
Trade Committee declined offers of assist
ance for the present. Mayor Jacobs said,
however, while he was opposed to calling
for outside help, if voluntary contributions
were offered he would advise their accept
ance. He has replied in this spirit to sew
eral kilograms from oGtside points. Money,
he says. can be used to good advantage, but
as regards the offers of food, clothing, med
icsl attention, ETC., the Mayor feels Louis
vile can house and feed all the wounded
and distressed and bury the dead, so all
offers of this kind are respectfully declined.
Two or three large mercantile firms in
the East telegraphed Mayor Jacobs to draw
on them for 81 a;590, and a telegram to the
same effect came from President Tanner Of
the Indianapolis Board of Trade. These
offers have been accepted.
The following dispatch was received
| frcm G. W. Ferguson, proprietor of the
Spectator, San Francisco: Can send you
81 900 if you need it."
| Mayor Jacob has not replied to this tele-
gram as he did not clearly understand it.
| CROWDS OF SIGHT sEERs.
| The depot here is thronged with people
who come from all parts to see the ruins,
and through trains are being run on the
Jacksonville. Madison and Indianapolis
Railway every few minutes. 1t rs difficult
to accommodate the crowds.
| Great excitement was caused this morn
| ing when party of workers thought they
heard cries proceeding from the wreck. A
time a space of twenty feet has been
cleared, but no one was found.
| Another party of laborers engaged on
the west side found human foot protrud-
ing from big pile of rafters, and in few
| moments the mangled body of young
man was taken out of the debris and was
| identified as the son of an aged Hebrew,
Moses Lazarus. The father was so over
come with grief that he had to be carried
from the scene. The body of the young
man was crushed out of all resemblance to
human being, but was identified by
means of his watch.
