SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.

A Southerner ut Chicago Lays His Head
the Rail Before an Approaching
Train and Coolly Awaits Death.
CHICAGO, Oct. ga sensational sui
eide occurred Sunday morning on the
railroad tracks at the foot of Monroe
street. From papers found on the
suicides body he is believed to be
Henry Kershaw formerly a journalist
of New Orleans. Early Sunday
morning the police at the foot of
Monroe street saw well dressed man
standing near the railroad tracks. A
long Michigan Central train was COM
ing in and when the engine was within
few yards of where he stood he ran
forward u few steps and throwing him
self upon the coal dust placed his neck
across one of the rails. In an instant
his head was severed from his body.
Letters found in the dead mans
pockets indicated his identity. One let
ter written after he had determined to
end his life in this manner refers vague
ly to charges against him by certain
lodges, to conspiracy and ''persecu-
ton" which caused him to take his life.
The letter is signed Henry Kershaw,
of New Orleans" The letters gave evil
dence of being the product of disor-
dered brain. Kershaw was about 35 years
old and native of New Orleans. He
was the publisher of commercial
bulletin about a year ago and at one
time was partner in n large printing
house. He left his wife and children
some months ago and came to this
city. Here he became involved in a
love affair which unbalanced his mind.
One of his hallucinations was that he
was being bounded by members of inn
aginary secret societies and that indi.

Saw His Family Perish.
George Sigorovitch saw his wife and
children perish before him while the
water stood up to his chin. The mother
had one child on her back and the fa-
ther another A third shifted for her
self, The mother and babe and the
third child were lost but the man sue
ceeded in climbing to the top of cabin
and saved himself. These instances of
loss of life were multiplied in every To-
cality.
Terrible Distress.
A later account from correspondent
near the scene says a rough estimate is
that 400 to 500 have been saved out of
a population of 300 on the Cheniere.
The distress existing there is terrible.
The Chinese factory at Bayou Andre
was totally destroyed and not one of
the Chinese colony escaped. There
were not more than ten of them at the
place. Another Chinese shrimp can
ming factory at Bayou Defond was de-
stroyed and all the Cinnamon killed.
win Never BE Known.
1t will never be known accurately
how many were lost in the storm. The
mighty waves swept with such force
over the land and at such'a a great depth
that it is probable many bodies and
perhaps many who are still living were
carried into the marshes. The total
loss of life at the two islands is now
placed at between 800 and 1000.
Organizing for Relief.
New Orleans is taking active meas
ures to relieve the destitution. The
Red Cross society has reorganized for
the occasion. The Slavonian society,
good number of whose members are
drowned, sent out an expedition with
medicine and provisions and with in
structions to spare no money in sue
coring the living and burying
the dead. A volunteer movement
of Second and Third district citi-
zens will send two boats to the stricken
section. The wind and waves de-
stroyed all the provisions upon Chenire
island and swept away all the cisterns
of the residents. The result is that
fresh water is so scarce that it is not
sufficient to relieve the thirst of the
hundreds who are now without any
thing to eat and scarcely anything tc
| wear.

aggregating nearly 81, 900, 900. The loss
of human life cannot be estimated.
On Farmer island, opposite the city,

One house crossed the bay distance of

China by the Methodist church show
that their work is not only seriously

Rnnihilated is the record of the great
gulf storm in Louisiana. There has

far surpasses these in horror. The

a Great Eyont in Music.

At 1880 o'clock the men and women
of the choir of 500 voices were ready
for the first motion of Director Tom
Inns baton. The band played the
Star Spangled Banner" =. The first
bars were drowned in mighty
cheers. Director Tomlins flourished
his baton and in wave the
music swept over the plaza. The
patriotism of the multitude boiled, and
cheer after cheer arose when the last
strains of the national anthem died
away. Next the choir sung the "Marseil-
laise'' and the barred banner of France
snapped proudly from places of honor
on the four Sides of the court
And the hymn of French lib
erty received its share of plaud-
its from an American throng. When
the chorus sung "Die Wacht am Rhine"
it was hearty recognition the sons of
the fatherland gave it, But all through
the category of national anthems there
was no song which seemed to evidence
its hold on the affections of the people
like Home, Sweet Home" They

90 per cent. of the orange trees were
killed OF blown down.
At Bayou Cook.
There is to-day only sadness in the
news from Bayou Cook and the various
statements that are tributary thereto.
There has been frightful loss of life
throughout that section. Houses have
been blown to pieces and smacks
destroyed and wrecked. There will
never be any means of correctly
estimating the exact loss which hui
manity has suffered. Many of the
bodies have been carried into the
marshes and will never be found. Per-
haps some of these are still living, but
without food and water they will be
likely to perish unless assistance is
sent them.
Strewn with Bodies.
Train crews arriving on the Grand
Island road say that the track is strewn
with bodies, and that Il large number
have already been buried. The coun-
try is scene of wreck and
devastation. An arriving passen-
ger said that no fewer than
cighty-seven dead bodies were seen
along the route. He said he had
witnessed borrowing scenes through
out the Bayou Cook country, and
the news received is to the effect that
the distress is appalling. The trains
that arrived Wednesday morning
brought many of the Bayou Cook sur
vivors to this city, many of them
wretchedly attired and their faces bear
ing marks of fearful suffering. There
were men, women and children in the
party and they were met at the depot
by fellow countrymen and brought to
the city, where they received kind at
tention and treatment.
An Italians and Austrlans.
The population on Bayou Cook con-
sisted of nearly all men-Italians and
Austrians. There were few, If any,
negroes in the settlement. Anthony
Negovitch came direct from Bayou
Cook. He said that during the height
of the storm he saw his wife
swept by him, appealing piteously
for help. He was unable TO extend
her helping hand and she perished. He
witnessed scores of people drown about
him, men and women, whom he had
known all his life. Many of them did
not drown, but were dashed against
their houses and their lives were
crushed out. Others perished in the
destruction of their homes.
Sad Sight
At Grand bayou not less than twenty
six perished. One of the saddest sights
witnessed by party of survivors wal
the bodies of three women lashed to {
plank and being Luffeted about by thu
waves. They were floating in Crane
