the death list will not be greatly in

the Qeatn uSt Will not De greatly IN
| creased
There is still many unburied dead, and
| but for the fact that large number of
| collins failed to arrive today it is likely
the number of funerals would have been
close TO fifty. The number OF known
was increased by one today-Henry Lar
sen, a boy about fifteen years of age,
the son of a laborer, and two of the in
jured died. Contrary to general expec-
tation there were no bodies found during
the day in the basement of Williams dry
goods store 1t was predicted when the
work of clearing out the debris was be-
gun this morning that at least twenty
bodies were still in the cellar of Will
Jams store, but at nightfall a large por-
ton of the place had been gone over
and nothing was found to indicate that
any more dead were in the ruins. 1t is
possible that more bodies may be found
there, but it is not probable that there
will be anything like the number esti-
mated this morning.
Ten bodies still remain unidentified,
five of them lying in the Catholic church,
three in the Congregational church and
two in the school house.
The work of clearing up the town was
undertaken in a systematic manner this
morning and decided progress was made.
The numerous dead horses that were ly-
ing around were all buried early in the
day. All the fires which had been
smouldering for thirty-six hours were ex-
tlnguished and a number of cellars in
which dead bodies were supposed to be
were cleared up. The militia kept strict
guard around the edges of the devas-
tated district and no one who could not
show excellent cause for admission was
allowed inside the lines. Even people
who wished to go and look at the remains
of their own houses were turned back
by the soldiers unless they could prove
|. that they wished to do something more
than gaze at the ruins
ENOUGH TO EAT.
Supplies have been coming in all day
from all directions, and there is no
scarcity of anything to eat. Bedding Is
not too plentiful, and blankets are need
ed Food was so plentiful today that the
relief committee made large sum of
money by selling sandwiches and bread.
All the funds derived from this source
eral fund, and from this source alone
nearly $500 was derived Ten cents was
charged for thimblefull Of coffee, and
the same amount for a very desperate
sandwich. The cashier, moreover. made
1t his business to be forgetful of return
| ing change, and In numberless cases he
worked off his sandwiches at 80 cents
apiece, and if objections were offered the
kicker was told it was for the public
good, and he must take his medicine.
| So he went away with his sandwich and
said nothing at all.
| Inc relief committee has received ten
ders of money from various sources.
amounting to about $1,000 Enough addi-
t1onal money is in sight, it is said. to
supply all immediate demands for cash.
A building and loan association plan has
been talked of for the rebuilding of the
town. The plan has not progressed in
any degree as yet, but it is said that out
side capital has expressed itself as being
willing to advance the funds necessary
for rebuilding the town in better shape
| than before the disaster. No names of
those willing to advance the money could
be learned, and it will probably be some
! days before the first definite move in this
| direction is made
A number of tents were put up TO-DAY
for the wounded, and more will be erect
| ed tomorrow. 1t is proposed to move as
many as possible of the injured into
them and relieve the crowded condition
| of the hospitals, which are rather limited
