da, toujours avec son enfant dams
les bras, u une 6troite corniche,
recouverte de zinc ct qui entoure
Ia facade. Ellie marcia ainsi 3 re-.
tits pas, le dos contre le muir, les
yeux lev6s pour eviter le vertigo,
risquant B chaque pas la plus effrc-
yable mort.
Dams la rue, DIES PEASANTS, des

FRISCO RELIEF FUND
Over Eighteen Million Dollars
Subscribed.

The amount raised and prom
ised for the relief of the San
Francisco sufferers has reached
SIS, 1890, ,332.6S. This includes
the equivalent of $3.450,OGO given
by the various. railroads in the
free transportation of supplies,
an extra 100000 appropriated
by Congress. an appropriation of
$3.50, 900 by the New York Leg
islature and the increase of New
York's contribution to over ST.
100000.
This huge contribution is more
than the equivalent of a contri-
button of 20 cents from every
man, woman and child of the 80.-
100000 comprising the entire
of the United States.
If divided pro rata among the
100000 destitute people of Frisco,
it would give eacb $94 and a few
cents over.

NOT LESS THAN 1000
Coroner's Report Shows Great
Loss Of Life.

San Francisco, April 26.-Cor.
oner William Walsh has esti.
mated that the total number OF
dead will not be less than one
thousand. His reports are COM
plete and his estimate is made up
from all the data he has been
able to collect.
Coroner Walsh said: s'Bodies
that the deputy coroners have
found and buried number 300, rs
follows: At Polk and Bay
streets, 80; at Portsmouth Square,
%; at Washington Square. IL; at
Six-mile House, 200; at Laurel
Hill, %; scattered in different
parts of the city, 10.
mo thorough search has been
made of the district south of
Market street on the Chinese
quarter. Many lives must have
been lost in these sections.
South of Market street are the
cheap lodging houses and many
of these collapsed from the earth
quake. There is little chance
that half of the inmates of the
collapsed buildings had oppor-
tunity to escape. This is also
true of Chinatown.
s'Shortly after the earthquake
the soldiers and police buried
along the water front many per-
sons. / have received no official
report of these. The total num-
Der of dead will undoubtedly
reach, if it does not exceed.
!, 1,OOO."
