New Orleans, Aug. 16.-The big storm
has practically subsidized here and both
the river and lake are telling. the
water has rapidly receded from the Sec
ton Of the city which was overlooked
yesterday. Large bodies Of men have
gone to work to repair the damage
done at the lake resorts which bore
the brunt of the storm. Little news
has come thus far from the Mississippi
sound but there has been no loss OF
life In that reach Of territory. The
Louisville & Nashville railroad is still
badly crippled. No trains have come
in or gone out over this line since night
before lest. The subsistence Of the
water, however, makes il probable that
the damage to The tracks viii be quick
ly repaired and that the traffic will be
resumed by tonight. A large number
OF cotton and other business men are
still bottled up on the coast and un-
able to get 10 their offices. The North
eastern road has had some trouble, but
the Illinois Central has aided both the
Louisville a Nashville and Northeast
ern In handling its passenger traffic.
The Cromwell liner Comus reached
the city today. DR.. j. M Tsomas,

and told COpt. Franklin that an un-
known schooner and small boat had
been wrecked in that vicinity and six
lives lost.
