LA BOURGOGNE'S VICTIMS.
Some Lived for Several Days After the
Steamship Sunk.

HALIFAX, N. s., Aug. 9.-Undertaker
John Snow, who accompanied the steamer
Hiawatha on her mission in search of bodies
of victims of La Bourgogne disaster,
stated to-day that some of the bodies
showed evidence of having been alive in the
water for two days at least and that the
body of one woman showed that she must
have lived four days after the sinking of the
ship. Many of the victims he thinks caught
pieces of wood and other wreckage and
their life gradually ebbed away in the vain
hope of being rescued. Snow thinks that if
the French line company had immedia tely
sent out a vessel from Halifax on receipt
of the news some of the unfortunates could
have been rescued alive.

THE RAILROADS TO BLAME.
Strong Feeling Among Business Men
Over SmnII Crowds.

ONCE OEONUSs
The small crowd attending the L. A w
was matter OF much general comment
among business men yesterday, and along
with this comment the complaint was fire.
quent that the railroads were responsible
TO large degree for the failure of In
dianapolis to enjoy the benefits of the ex-
pected throngs. 1t was repeated from mouth
to mouth that the companies had refused
to make any sort of liberal concessions
either in or out OF the State, pursuing the
same policy which has heretofore resulted
disastrousiy to some of Indianapolis's Kub-
lie enterprises. One prominent Washington
street merchant, in speaking of the matter
said he was very much in favor of organ
izing an indignation meeting after the meet
was over to discuss measures of reprisals
They say a railroad makes town. said
he but If we don't have care it is ant
to break this town. In the summer time we
frequently find the railroads running 81
peer excursions to Cincinnati on Sunda VS.
and flooding this city with people on the
a big public entertainment on hand at a
time when the merchants can profit by the
presence of visitors, the railroads respond
to our requests with stony glare No in
considerable part of the failure of the May
festival to be financial success was due

the annual flower show, which promised TO
be very important event, was killed off IN
the same same fashion. 1t is time the business
men took some immediate steps. 1t is near

One railroad man said yesterday:~.I I'M

ISOLATION has blacklisted Indianapolis. This
was caused by the high assessment the
county and state tax boards maintain on
railroad property. | have heard several
prominent railroad officials say the assess
ment OF their lines>in Indiana is twice that
in Ohio. though the Ohio roads are much
better profit earners than the Indiana lines
This, 1t seems, is the reason that the wheel

East that they do not give hereNand Just
because indianapolis is blacklisted. -

The writer further charges that the sick
soldiers in the hospitals are not properly
cared for as a result of the too free dis
tribution of intoxicants among the nurses.
The Tennessee regiment is the worst Suf-

heaped on all the recruits. The hospitals
are full and many who should get treat

tents. Mrs. D. w. Gelwicks is chairman of
the hospital committee, Oakland Red Cross,
and has been almost daily visitor at Camp
Merritt. This is what she says:
Il keep my records most carefully. and
they will show that eight out of every ten
men have died from pneumonia, followed
by measles. The sick men are turned out of
the division hospitals before they are able
for duty. They are well enough to go out
of the hospital but not we'll enough for
camp life. They must sleep on the sand sat
