Sleep With the Dead.
NEW YORK. August G.-Driven from
the city parks and streets by the storm,
200 homeless men and women last night
sought shelter in the city morgue at the
foot of East 18th street. During the
height of the storm such numbers applied
for shelter that every bed. chair and
bench in the municipal lodging house was
occupied long before the usual hour, and
hundreds were turned away. The situa-
ton eventually became so serious that the
officials opened the mOrgue to the home
less. and began to give out tickets to all
who desired them. Some. when they
learned that they would be obliged to
sleep in the same building with the dead,
turned back into the night and the storm
but others went in and slept soundly. At
6 o'clock this morning the homeless were
again turned into the streets. and the
morgue was once more reserved for the
dead.

received and preliminary canvasses
made are induces that the next admins

cratic.
