The Sad Fate Of q Young woman at

The Florence Times says: Telling
In its sad details q story Of suffering
and betraya by a man who professed
to love her, and who had deserted her
three months before the birth of a
child last Saturday morning, is the
life of young woman supposed to be
Laura May Rhame, who died last
Friday night about II O'Clock at the
iulrmary of DR.. VIM. Ilderton on
Evans street. ..."
The young woman had been In
Florence for some time and had taken
a room at q boarding house in East
Florence, where she was being treat
ed by DR., Ilderton. Friday morning
her condition was alarming, and 1t
was deemed advisable to take her TO

constant medical supervision. Bat
she had passed the stage of human
aid and death enSued-leaVing har

baby girl.
The remains of. the unfortunate
young mother were taken to Waters
undertaking establishment and pre-
pared for burial, and the interment Is
being postponed in the hopes Of get.
ting intelligence from friends or rela-

by DR.. Ilderton until something else
can be done In the way OF providing q
home for it. e.'
AS to the. real identify Of the wo-
man no one knows. She had gotten
only one letter since she had been
here, addressed to Miss Laura May
Rhsme, and three letters were found
in her possession addressed to Miss
Helen Trautman, Wedgefsld, s. c..
and A. D. Rhsme, Clarendon, 8. G.,
and one to Mrs. D.Schsmp, Pine

Another letter from an unknown
party was found In which he wrote In
the most endearing tones, end max

but nothing tending to throw any
light on the mystery.
1t is said that 8 man came here

man and that he had some money
which belonged to her through the
sale of some property. But he looked

Mayor Asks Help.
Mayor Schmitz this afternoon sent a
messenger across the Bay with tel
egram to Governor Pardee asking in
the name of humanity for tents and
bread. We want bedding, food,
tents" he said, and must have them
quick. Perishing humanity depends
on generosity of it's fellow citizens,
but urgent aid will save lives"
The response to the appeal was i'm
mediate. This evening supplies are be-
ing received here from every section
and being rushed across to the strick-

Red Cross society and private charity
organizations are doing everything
possible, but at the present time the
absolute need is water to drink, Relief
stations have been established at all

aiding civil authorities is leaving
nothing undone. Help those who can
not help themselves, is his policy.
Communication Cut Off.
Means of communication in and
about the city have been completely
cut off. Where yesterday a few auto
mobiles could go backward and for
ward tonight their progress was stop
ped by the masses of ruins. 1t may

Newspapers Have Quit.

Newspapers in the city have given

zone, in fan shape half circle, which

Oakland, Calf, April 19.-As the
red rays of the April sun flashed
across the Pacific ocean this evening
they were reflected back from scenes
of horror that has not been equalled in
the history of the United States since
the famous Chicago fire. The Gold
City of the Pacific slope was mass
OF smouldering ruins and where yester-
day, tall buildings had stood, tonight
nothing was left but indescribabie hor-
ror. the likeness of which will remain
photographed on the brains of those
who were compelled to witness 1t, for
many years. ...
Less than one-sixth of the city of
San Francisco will remain standb.g
when the present fires shall have
burned themselves out. In the de-
stroyed district 1t is practically every
bit Of the business portion of the me-
tropolis of the coast and some two
thirds Of the best residential section.
Suffering Is Terrible.
The suffering of the inhabitants is
terrible. Men, women and children
are gathered in open squares and in
suburbs, suffering lack of clothing,
food and beyond all that, many have
throats that are parched with thirst
on account of the scarcity of the wat
er.
In every spot where refugees gather
ed, soldiers, doing herculean work,
have even beggared themselves, to
benefit unfortunate mortals, who yes
terday had everything, and today
have nothing. Every large recepta-
Gle that can be pressed into service,

Point, the Preside district and Gold

selves. Whether the fire is under
control, only the events of the next
few hours will determine.

General Funston, who has been on
duty continually ever since the first

cannot be determined whether this be-
