Reminding a Home.

DIR. R. @, Hoffman is making some
more additions to his property at the
corner of First street and Third i've
nue.. He is enlarging the house by
additions to a couple of rooms on the
south and there will also be a roomy
porch on the southeast corner. The
roof is to be altered and the appear
ance of the house will be that of a
new residence. Mr.. Hoffman has
been at work on the property since
the early part of the season and has
been adding a little here and there
until he will have a comparatively
new house when this last work is
completed. The value of the improv-
ing done to the property will be in
the neighborhood of 1900.
The original intention of Mr.. Hoff-
man was to tear down the old house
and rebuild, but an examination of
the house showed the old frame work
to be of a very superior character,
both as to material and method of
construction, and it was decided to
keep the old frame and to remodel
the place and make it morer oomy by
the additions above mentioned.

WILLING WORKERS.
over 1000 Men Engaged In Clearing
Galveston Streets of
the DebrIG. ..s

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 19.-The work
of clearing the streets of debris is
progressing rapidly under the perfect
organization instituted by military
rule under Adjt. Gen. Scurry. Over
1000 men are engaged on the work.
Ninety-eight bodies are reported as
having been found in the wreckage
and removed Tuesday, making a total
of 1851 victims so far recovered. This
list is far short of the accurate num-
Der Of dead found, because no official
records are kept. Bodies found are
buried or crcmated and no systematic
record has been kept.
The total number of dead is still
estimated at 5000 to 5000. The news
paper list is over 1000. The of
many negroes, Mexicans, Italians and
other foreigners can never be Sc
cured.
Supplies and money are now pouring
in from all over the country. For rea-
sons which should be obvious, the COM
mittee in charge have asked the news
paper correspondents to refrain from
sending out the exact mount of cash
received so far, but it will be no viola
ton of confidence to state that at least
seven figures are needed to express the
amount.
There are no developments which
would lead to the belief that the esti-
mate of a property loss of $22, SOC, 900 is
too high.
The sick and wounded are receiving
the best of treatment and the facili-
ties r such that anyone needing
medical attention can have it on ap-
plication. Besides the other hospitals
and medical relief stations already in
service, the marine hospital and ref
uge camp was opened Tuesday after
noon and will accommodate a large
number of patients. Persons able to
travel have been taken from the hos
pitfalls and sent in the revenue cut
ters and by other means of transpor-
tation to Houston and other relief sta
lions on the mainland.
The work under the direction of the
health department is pushed with
vigor and rapidity. AS fast as disin-
f~ectants arrive they are being dis
tributed over the city and large guam
titles are arriving. Over a carload of
disinfectants was taken from the
wharves Tuesday and sent to the
health department supply depot. and
almost as much was taken from that
place and distributed over the city.
AS fast as it can be done the city is
being placed in a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
New York, Sept. 19.-The subserip-
tions received to date in this city for
the sufferers at Galveston amount to
$216,016. Chief of Police Devery turned
over to Mayor Van Wyck the sum OF
$7,73s.5O, being the amount subscribed
to the Galveston relief fund by the
members of the police force of this city.
Mayor Van Wyck at once telegraphed
to Mayor Jones, Of Galveston, that he
could draw upon him for the sum men.
