This was Decoration dav but the recan.
griefs of the citizens OF the ,ovn b,d ~,
the time being efaced from their minds the
memories Of those who passed AWAY in the
war Of the rebellion and there wee M
services OF any kind, although elaborate ar
engagements had been made during the early
portion Of the week. Immense crowds OF
! people visited the ruins today and IT is ex-
pected that tomorrow there will be II. 600
visitors, as excursions will be run for 100
miles out Of the twenty-three railroads enter
ing the city.
CHAOS AND CONFUSION.
By slow degrees ST. Louis is now
recovering from the business paraly-
sis caused by the awfu. storm. Some OF
the principal thoroughfares that were choked
up with wreckage have been opened and a
few Of the street car lines have been started,
but the telephone system OF the town is
practically useless. The side streets through
the district are still in cha
otic condition. Telegraph and telephone
poles with a tangled network Of wires. roofs
and houses. uprooted trees. wagons and ve-
hicles Of all kinds and the scattered re-
mains OF whole buildings are still strewa
through most Of them so that traffic is in
many Instances impossible. 1t will require
weeks to restore some Of the streets to their
normal condition.
The number Of dead is hourly growing
greater as the work OF clearing away the
ruins progresses. Ii was said by officials at
The city hospital the day after the storm
that no one was crushed in the ruins. They
are now beginning to change their minds.
1t has been ascertained that fifty to seventy
five of the patients and four or five en-
ployes are missing. Until this morning
practically nothing toward exploring the
ruins had been done. But a large force OF
men were put to work there at daylight,
today. This was done only at the loud de-
hands of the people who had friends a, the
hospital during the storm and who have NOT
been heard of since. Father Kenr,ck nj,
