St. Louis, Mo-, June Livery rail-
road entering this storm stricken city
ran excursions yesterday. They
brought score of thousands to view the
devastation and ruin wrought by the
awful storm of Wednesday. The
streets of the ruined districts were
thronged with visitors all day. They
came from almost every town and city
within a radius of 300 miles, and near
ly all day a cod, drizzling rain fell
lowering, threatening clouds covered
the sky and more dismal scene than
the ruined portion Of this city could
scarcely be imagined, and through the
crowded streets al day long came fu-
neral professions.
Nearly one hundred burial permits
were issued by the health department
Saturday and every hearse in the city
was kept in constant use.
At earl dawn people began to crowd
into the city morgue. Many came in
search Of friends, but for the most part
people who visited them were drawn by
a morbid desire to see the mangled
corpses of the unfortunate victims Of
the tornado. All day long the officers
on duty were kept busy keeping the
people moving In line in and out of the
viewing room Of the morgue. Every
few minutes some one would think
that they had discovered some one
whom they knew among the bodies
exposed for view. Superintendent
Mack, of the morgue, had a trying
time in answering questions in regard
to the bodies and taking names and
descriptions Of persons who have not
been seen by their friends since the
storm. There were people there from
all points in all directions, far and near,
Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, Indian
apolis, Kansas City and scores Of small
er places were represented. From such
towns came axious people inquiring for
lost friends.

Still Increasing.

Moscow, June 2.-There were 1877
Victims of Saturdays disa, er buried
yesterday. The bodies of nose iden-
Sified and claimed by relatives were
inferred in private graves, but at the
expense of the municipality.
The great number of unidentified
dead were buried in eleven great
trenches, eaoh fifty yards long. The
trenches were deep, and the muEla.ed
bodies had to be placed close together
so ais to find room for them all. There
were 600 workmen engaged all night
fong alt the Vaganovvskoe cemetery
digging trenches
Many priests, prominent among them
being John of CrCnstadt, famous for
his ptety and his power to console, and
it Is believed by The peasants to heal.
and many military dhaplains conduct
cd the funeral services, the friends
.erowding around the graves.
y The surviving friends and relatives
are for the most part of the ignorant
and supplemented peasant class, and
their grief and terror at the sudden
calamity are expressed in a very DEM
ON strative fashion. The scenes at the
! cemetery were pttiful and terrible in
y the extreme. Only about half the
bodies recovered have been identified,
and many OF those are men, though
there are many children and several
people so years old.
Most Of the private graves of he
victims were marked yesterday with
wooden crosses, placed there by rela-
tives, and inscribed with texts of scrip
ture. The people also strewed flow
srs among the graves
The clothes of the victims were
heaped in huge pile in one corner of
the cemetery, and in this me people
rummaged all day long, seeking the
slightest trace that would afford a
rlew to the fate of these missing.
