RELIEF FOR THE TEXANS.
Much Money Yet Needed for Penni-
less Storm Sufferers.

NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-The relief COM
mittee OF the Chamber of Commerce and
the citizens relief committee CT the Mer-
chants Association, sent today to the re-
lief committee of Galveston, duplicate in
voices of supplies shipped by the trans
port Mcpherson and the Morgan line
steamships, Ell Sud and Ell Rio and also in
voices of some lots shipped by rail from
Philadelphia and St. Louis The total
amount of the invoices is s136. 456. Is. but
that does not represent all of the goods
actually shipped, as many donations Of
goods went direct to the steamship and
were not invoiced
William F. King, President of the Mer-
chants Association, said today that re-
cent adyices made it clear that a large
amount of money beyond that already
contributed would be required for the
continued relief of the Texas sufferers
Thousands, he said. had lost everything
but their lives, and the committee now
needed more cash to meet the calls for the
aid which come from the sufferers
Continuing, Mr.. King said: An appeal
for help frori Alvin, Texas, was received
today by the Merchants Association Al

nine miles west of the city of Galveston,

country tributary to it, suffered severely

PLENTY OF ANTHRACITE.
New York's Health Board to Enforce
the Use of Hard Coal

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-President
Murphy, OF the health board, has been
sending inspectors around to find out how
much anthracite coal, of the sizes used in
factories, is available in the Immediate
vicinity of New York. He says that they
found that both the coal companies and
the manufacturers have thousands of tons
in storage, and he seems to suspect that
the companies are holding their stocks
for higher prices, while the manufactur-
ers are trying to keep their supply of hard
coal out of sight, SO that they may turn
soft coal, which costs less money and
from which more heat can be obtained per
ton, This being the situation Colonel
Murphy has determined that it is not an
emergency, and that the manufacturers
mus burn hard coal or be prosecuted for
maintaining public nuisances.

THE MoRRIsTowN TORNADO.
Eight Persons Dead and Four Fa
tally Injured.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. z5.-The loss of
life from the Morristown tornado will
number twelve persons. all men. Eight
are dead and four are given up by their
physicians.
Daylight showed the result of last nights
disaster to have been less severe than ex-
pected. The destruction of buildings was
slight The path of the storm covered a
distance of three miles and was not over
100 yards wide. 1t touched the ground
only at intervals of about q quarter of a
mile and one of the points was on the edge
of Morristown, where it demolished a brick
building in which eight persons had sought
refuge from the rain, killing seven OF
them. Another point touched was almost
where the tornado formed and where one
man was killed. After striking the brick
building in Morristown, a few small barns
and houses We're demolished. and a number
of animals killed. The cloud then rose into
the air and disappeared.
Among the seriously injured is Porter
A. White, Republican nominee for the
Legislature from Rice county. He is in
ternally injured and may die
The storm was first discovered by a
farmer who lives four miles from Nor
ristown. He saw the funneI-shaped
cloud, and says it was bobbing up and
down on its way to the village, and
made four descents in the four miles.
The farm of John Olson, two miles
from Morristown, is, as far as can be
learned, the first place who're any dam
age was done. Oison's hired man, Pc
terson, was killed.

GALVESTON, Sept. 25.--The City Couu-
ell met last night and discussed topics OF
interest relative to the city's future. One
of the aldermen wanted TO know # the
supervision of the cleaning of the streets
rested with the relief committee. to which
Mayor Jones replied in the affirmative,
stating that it was useless to discuss the
matter as the city had no money.
Alderman McMaster sprung a sensation,
stating that he did not think the board
competent to handle the problem that
confronted it to bring order out Of
chaos. The members OF the council were,
he said, gathered from all walks Of life,
and, when elected, ii was not thought they
would have such a difficult problem to
master He favored the entire board re-
signing in order that the Governor or
some other legally constituted authority
might appoint a commission of three or
five men to take charge of affairs, dis
charge every man now employed by the
city, make a new deal, and employ only
such men as were absolutely necessary to
run the town. This system, he thought,
should remain IN force from twelve to
fourteen months, or until the city could.
get on its feet. If this course WAS not
pursued, he said, it would be necessary
for the council to stop paying revenues
into sinking funds unless help is obtained
from some outside source. If more money
than is now in sight is not secured, after
the city failed TO meet its fixed charge,
he said reeeivership would follow
The crisis might lead to merging OF
the city and county governments An
swering Alderman McJlaster. Mayor Jones
said he did not believe the council should
desert the city at this crisis. They
should stand together as men and face
the matter unfinehingly. II outside help
did not come, then he said the council
could resort to the United States Court
and have a receiver appointed. No action
was taken by the board on the suggestion
of Alderman MeMaster-
City Electrician Hall reported that he
had made arrangements for lighting the
business districts of the city from power
furnished by the Texas Star Flour Mills.
He also rendered free his services TO the
city for one year. Mr.. Lasker, chairman
OF the correspondence committee, has is
sued the following statement:
Loss of life estimated at 5000; 5000 in
the city, 1000 down the island, and 1000
on the mainland. Ninety-seven and a-haIf
per cent. of the houses in the city were
damaged and it will require about 81. .000,-
900 to clean the city of wreckage and
place it in sanitary condition There
are sufficient food and clothing supplies
with discriminate use, TO meet all re-
quirements for present needs, but money
| is needed
The saloons were open yesterday, the
first time since the storm, and one death
is the result. Joe Raymond. negro,
twenty-four years of age, was shot
| through the heart and instantly killed
outside of saloon on Market Street tt
man who did the killing, another negro
escaped and is still at large. The mel

SCRANTON Pa. Sept. 25.-The strikers
can look for no encouragement for the
