Wires Are Working.
Telegraph and railroad lines are be-
Ing rapidly repaired. This morning
the Postal company has four wires
working into the city, and within
forty-eight hours will have it's system
almost completely re-established. The
Western Union is even in better

Acting i'm conjunction with other
roads, the Santa Fe is bending every
energy toward building a temporary
structure across the bay for running
their trains into Galveston and to
wharves, which probably will be ready
for loading vessels before the first
train arrives. No conccalment is to
be made of the fact that pestilence Is
feared, The efforts of local and mlll-
tary authorities are directed now TO
minimizing this new danger. They
are sending women and children to
the interior as fast as possible. All
able-bodied men must remain for u
time at least. There is work for
thousands OF men, and work that
must be done.

WORK OF REHABILITATION.

Remains To EO.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. ls.-Much
progress has been mace toward the
rehabilitation of Galveston and so
tremendously are the various forces
working that General McKibben and
staff. who were ordered to assist the
authorities as soon as the storm dis
aster befel Galveston, have decided
their presence Is no longer necessary
and have made arrangements TO leave
for Houston. a more hopeful feeling
is observable everywhere and the sit
uation is Frightening rapidly. Water
has been turned on, the sewers and
closets flushed, the downtown portion
of the city is being rapidly cleaned of
debris and filth, and cutters and
streets ~disinfected. Buildingsare being
cleaned, floors scrubbed and damaged
stocks are being removed and aired.
A car is going through the streets
sprinkling lime and %sulphuric acid
and disinfectants over dead and de-
caying matter. All is being done with
military precision, thanks to martial
law. State Health Officer Blunt eN-
presses the belief that there is no
danger of an epidemic. The city board
of health held a meeting and adopted
q resolution yoicing the same views.
Emergency hospitals have been es-
tablished in every ward for the treat
ment of the sick and wounded.
Prepare to Rebuild.
Banks and some other branches of
business have resumed and others are
actively preparing to resume. Prep
arations for rebuilding have been GO
ing on in the business part of the
city. Railways and the wharf front
are being rapidly cleared of debris.
The telegraph and telephone COM
panies are rushing things. A full tel
egraphic service is expected to be re-
established by the close of the week.
Many dead are reported hourly as be-
ing unburied, especially in the ex-
treme west part.
Over 5000 Dead.
1t is conservatively estimated now
that the loss of life will exceed 5000,
with half that number wounded. Of
probably 1000 living down the island
at least a third are lost. There are
200 bodies on the beach between Mott
place and the city limits. Eighteen
people in this neighborhood have got
together and have begun burying the
dead. They are out of' provisions and

tended marching upon Lattimer at an
early hour this morning with a view &c
compelling a cessation of operations.
It was at Lattimer on September 10,
1887, that the shooting and killing of
nineteen riotous miners and the wound
ing of tfty-eight others by sheriff s
posse occurred. The posse was subse-
quentiy tried on a charge of murder in
the first degree and acquitted.
Soon after the receipt of the sheriff S

on the telephone and had long CONVEX

that LuZerne is so large a county and the
section affected by the strike so large
that disorder is likely to break out stimuli

that 1t would be utterly impossible for
him to maintain order and protect life

The verdict was then handed to the
clerk, who read:
I'VE, the jury, find the prisoner guilty
as charged. and fix the penalty at DEATH
Howard sat unmoved as the verdict was
read He was very pale and maintained
absolute silence for long time. Attorney
Little, who had come in later, and John
G. White, were at his side. Neither spoke
a word.
Judge Cantrill then congratulated the
jury for the work and discharged them
The trial of Howard has been il pro-
gress since September 10 before Judge
CantrilI. Howard is from Manchester,
Clay county, and is a member OF a famous
feud family. On the stand he admitted
killing George Baker, for which he is now
under indictment.

Howard 1t was claimed that at the time
Goebei was shot the accused was in the

During the trial nearly a hundred wit

the mountaineers. members of the White
Howard and Baker factions. and a re-
newaI of the feuds of Clay county is pre-
dicted.
The long disagreement among The
jurors in the case was regarding the
penalty To many the verdict was re-
garded as a surprise, as II was not
thought that those who held out would
give in. The balIoting stood 10 to 2 in

Howard's attorneys will at once pre-

Howard seemed as calm and unconcerned

taken to the penitentiary a once.
Interest in the Henry Youtsey trial for

on the increase. 1t begins at Georgetown
