line, was the story told in the Police Court
to-day and which resulted in Jacob Veins
and Joseph Wood being fined $50 each
on the charge of disturbing the peace.
Early this morning they burrowed through
the ruins of St James Lutheran Church,
on California avenue, to the basement,
where they had learned that several dozen
bottles of communion wine were stored.
After drinking their fill they loaded their
arms with bottles, and seating themselves
on the sidewalk invited the psssers-by to
drink the consecrated liquor to the tune of
blasphemous toast.
Police Captain Keeble and Sergeant
Hanna, both of whom were in plain
clothes, were among those so invited, and
when they undertook to arrest the depre-
dators Wood drew knife and attempted
to stab them. People in the crowd came
to the assistance of the officers, and the
men were disarmed and taken to the sta

terments until Sunday. The number of
burials tomorrow, however, will exceed
100.
The conditions in East st. Louis are pre-
cisely in accord with those of this city.
The preparations and programme of the
one are those OF its namesake and neigh
Dor across the river.
At regular meeting of the Municipal
Assembly tonight Mayor Walbridge SUBJ
mitted special message, asking that the
Assembly appropriate 100000 for the re-
lief of the storm-sufferers. This PROPOSE
tion was favorably received, but the ext
gencies of legislation will delay conclusive
action for several days.
The money is to be Immediately avail
able upon the passage of the measure.
The committee report will be made to-
morrow. Informal discussion was had and
it was agreed that every appropriation for
public Improvements not pledged on con-
tracts already made should be diverted to
the relief fund. The disbursement of this
fund will be under municipal control
and will be Independent of other relief
measures.
Mayor Walbridge took occasion in his
message to point out that st. Louis was
the only city in the country that had
weathered safely the recent financial gale
and it should not be said that any dis
turbance. physical or financial. should
make st. Louis a mendicant asking aims.
This independence of feeling seems uni
versaI here. 1t does not appear to be brag-
gadocio, but serene confidence in the abil-
ity and disposition of St. Louisans to care
for the storm victims.
There is one particular unidentified body
in the Morgue that tomorrow will be IN
tered in the potter's field, simply because
it is too badly mangled to be OF service to

are not attributable to the tornado, but
were rather sequence of the horror.

a pish-looking individual put in an
appearance and volun teered to assist in
the search. During the night four bodies
were taken from the debris and laid side
by side. Then, according to local citi-
zen who told his story at the Morgue to-
day, the volunteer, availing himself Of
what he thought was favorable oppor-
tunity, proceeded to rifle the clothing of
the dead. He was caught in the act by
one of the searchers, who without warning
felled him with brick. Then, with cries
of Lynch the thiefp the entire party..of
searchers fell upon him with kicks and
blows from boards and scantlings.
When they paused for breath the ghoul
was dead. a pledge of secrecy was quickly
passed around, the ambulance was sent
for and the body conveyed to the morgue
under the supposition that it was that of
victim of the power-house wreck.

now SsS and the list is being augmented
almost hourly. 1t is believed that when
the search is completed the death roll will
reach 500 and many people believe there
are bodies at the bottom of the Mississippi
which will never be recovered.
The injured are legion, their number be-
ing estimated at from 800 to 1000 in this
city and 200 to 800 in East st. Louis. All
through the night without cessation gangs
of workmen piled their search for victims
of Wednesday cyclone, eight bodies re-
warding this.
At 6 o'clock this morning the body of an
unknown man was taken from the Soulard
Market ruins. John Plank of 1908 Lafay-
cite avenue died at st. Johns Hospital
this morning from injuries received in the
cyclone. Many of the injured are hover
ing between life and death.
Miss Clara Hermann died to-day from
the effects of injuries sustained in the
cyclone. The young lady and her father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. John P. Herr
mann, were buried beneath the house they
occupied, Mrs. Hermann, aged So years,
was instantly killed, her body being
crushed almost to pulp. Mr.. Hermann
was so badly injured that his physicians
say his death is only matter of time.
A great many persons estimate that
over twenty FIVE persons lost their lives in
the Mississippi River, and the chances are
that their bodies will never be recovered.
The number of persons who lost their
lives by being blown from tiatboats, and
were carried down by overturned steam
boats, is problematical, and only when a
ia bulated list of the missing can be made
will the'exact number be known.
Hundreds of homeless people slept in
the open air last night. The public build
ings were thrown open for the accommo-
dation of the destitute and unfortunate
and these places were crowded to their
fullest capacity. Food for the hungry
was furnished literally by citizens and
keepers OF restaurants in the neighbor-
hood of these temporary shelters. All
night and throughout this morning hun
dreds and in some cases thousands of
people surrounded the temporary morgues,
and within heartrending scenes were en-
acted as relatives came to take away the
remains of their loved ones. and parties
seeking to identity some of the unknown
dead made the rounds of the silent forms.
Hundreds of furniture wagons, carts, and
in many cases buggies ana private .vehi-
cles, were brought into requisition this
morning to move whatever OF the personal
property that can be dug out of the ruins,
or at the risk of the lives of the salvage

this morning, and this greatly accelerated
the movements of the people who are

Hundreds are busy repairing damaged

will have resumed its normal condition.
