Unique r Fntertainmemt for south
side Young People.


On Easter Monday the teachers and
scholars of the Southside Presbyterian
Sabbath school met at the residence of
the pastor, Rev. L. H. Bald win, to en-
gage in an ''egg hunt" Over 200 col
ored eggs had previously been hidden in
the most unexpected and inaccessible
places in the bushes. rocks and trees on
the side of the mountain back of the
residence. At given signal the chill
dren went to work seeking that they
might find. After the eggs were gath
cred, all returned to the lawn at the
house, where some time was spent in
games and sports, after which supper
was served. The supply was so bounti-
ful that if the tables did not groan, some
of the children did before they cried
enough. 1t was decided success and
was as much enjoyed by the number OF
grown people who were there as by the
children present.

THE FLOWER MISSION.
Annual Election of OmGers YeS
terday Afternoon.

terday Afternoon.
The April meeting of the Associated
charity is always one of unusual impor-
tance. as the annual election of officers
is in order, and the secretary and the
treasurer give their reports for the wear.
The meeting was held yesterday.
The following are some OF the items of
the work from April, 1892. to April,
1898:
Visits made by superintendents city
Applicants at central ofice asa
orders Tor Tor eroserics. wood and coal. aia
Clothing given to 11S
This does not include the orders given
during the "emergeney," but marks the
regular work of the Associated charity.
Eleven persons were sent to the hospital,
12 children to the home, and six persons
sent to the almshouse.
The reading of the reports was fol-
lowed by the election of officers. Miss
Chester rendered her resignation of the
presidency on the ground that she is not
to be in Asheville during the summer,
and that she thinks the position should
be held by an influential, permanent resi-
dent of the place. She urged upon the
members the necessity of interesting in
telligent, broad-minded women in the
work, and suggested that a trained
nurse employed by the Flower mission
and day nursery esta blished in the fac
tory district would be important addi-
tions to the association. Her resigna-
tion was not accepted.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick was elected vice-preS-
| dent; Mrs. Burroughs, secretary, and
Mrs. Barnard, treasurer.
The business meeting then adjourned,
and AS followed bv exercises in memory
| of Miss Jennie Casseday. the founder OF
| the Flower mission work, who died in
| Louisville on the eighth of February.

Victims Of the Southern Storm
Now Estimated Mt Three
Thousand.
Bodies Of tie Dead Rapidly Decom
posing and Pestilence May
Follow.
About 700 Schooners, Luggers and
Fishing Vessels Destroyed In
the Gale.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. IA special to
The Courier-J Journal from New Orleans
says: The return of several Of the re-
lief parties from the storm stricken
districts fully confirm the re-
ports as to the list Of those drowned or
killed. A correct list swells the total
number Of dead to 2,04l. This will be
some 2,50O or 5000 when news from the
Louisiana coast Is all in. The addi-
tional losses reported are: Argota, 10;
Biloxi and Chandelur. 10; near Grand
Bource, 10; from vessels, 93. The loss
of life at Cheniere Caminada is now
known to be 1880 instead of l,04O, as
first reported. At bayou Andre u per-
ished instead of 40, and at Grand Isle
"A instead of 10. The only stations
from which returns have not been re-
ccived yet are st. Barnard and Lake
Borgogne marsh. This marsh extends
from Lake Borgogne to the gulf. Not
a word has been heard from there
since the storm. A boat has been sent
there to see If any survivors remained.
Bodies Decomposing.
Loud complaints come from the
Bayou Cook section of the odor from
the dead bodies there. The land is too
low for burying. Already some 126
bodies have been conveyed by boat to
the highlands for burial. But many
are unburied In the swamps and are
rapidly decomposing. Many of the
bodies were found to have been looted
and robbed. Most of the fishermen
were well-to-do and all carried their
fortunes in cash in their pockets. No
money has been found on their remains
and from 5000 to 10000 has disap-
peared. Nearly all the bodies were
badly mutilated by the storm. Most Of
the loss occurred of the Chandelier
Islands or Missippi Sound. Shipping
suffered terribly in both localities. and
the loss of life Is likely to be very
heavy. Nearly all the We sels In Mis-
sissippi Sound and the fishing ports ot
Biloxi, Scranton. Bay ST. Louis, ant
others suffered or were sunken. Among
the lost is the Austrian bark Nikota.
Destruction Complete.
The destruction of the smaller boats
schooners, luggers and fishing vessels Ii
complete. Out of 100 at Chenier'
Camanada $50 are lost, 100 out of th'
200 at other places on the marshes AMI
between 600 and 700 in the storm-swep
region, worth probably 100000. 1
will be months before the gulf fisherie
will revive. The orange crop will los
only 50 per cent, but the destruction o
orchards will be great. The loss o
property is greater than ut first re
ported. The following are some OF tn
principal losses: Oyster sanneries OF
Mississippi Sound. $4,000; wharve
and landings. s6o, 600; total loss on Mis-
