 The fund which is being raised in New Haven for the relief of the victims of the San Francisco horror was sub stantially increased yesterday by addi- tiona1 collections, and the $10,000 total which 1t is hoped to raise gives evidence of being attained. Up to Saturday night about $4,00O had been contributed, and this has since received a great in crement.
 In many of the churches the offerings yesterday were made in aid of the fund. At United church the sum of $210 was raised at the morning service. Rev. MT. Haynes preached a sermon relating to the catastrophe. He spoke of the many questions and doubts aroused by such calamities as this as to Gods goodness, and whether God ruled, God, he said, does not manifest Himself through the actions of nature, but through spiritual life.
 At St. Josephs R. c. church the an- nouncement was made that the collec- tion next Sunday would be taken for the San Francisco fund. The appeal of the bishop was read.
 St, Pauls church added about $l50 to the fund at yesterdays collections. Rev. MT. Perry preached an excellent sermon from the text II. Corinthians, iv., 1S, While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" He referred es- pecially to the San Francisco event, saying that we should not see in such occurrences the wrath of an angry God, I but rather reminder by loving Father.
 At Trinity M. E. church Rev, Dr. Kidd alluded to the subject and an nounced that, as he was a member of the city contribution committee all who wished to contribute could make their contributions through him.
 Thomas Hooker treasurer of the State Red Cross society, yesterday re- ceived two large additions to the Red Cross funds, one of $2175 from Hartford and $1,90O from Torrington. This is in addition to $2,5OO which he has already forwarded to Washington.
 Each day of this week the rooms of the United Workers at 200 Orange street will be open from 10 to F and from to 4 p. III. to receive contribu- tions in wearing apparel or in house. hold linen to be shipped as soon as pos sible to the Red Cross In San Francisco. Garments of all kinds are earnestly so- licited, and the members of the Red Cross in town are urged to ask all of their friends for articles of clothing and to send them at once to 200 Orange street.
