whelmed the town of Austin dimin-
tshed when an army of volunteer
rescuers worked it's way into the
masses of wreckage. In the opinion OF
many on the ground the number of
deaths will not reach $50, while the
less hopeful place the list of fatalities
at 300.
The property loss will exceed &c..
100000, and it is the general opinion
that the town never will be rebuilt.
Two, at least. OF. the large plants will
not be reconstructed and a majority
of the business men of the place have
been financially ruined.
State officials in charge of the stu.
alton, after hasty canvass of the
population, expressed the belief that
not more than 1a0 are dead in the
wreckage. Only twenty-four bodies
have been recovered.
A battalion of state police surround.
ed the town and no person without q
pass was permitted to enter.
Few Dead at Costello.
Reports from Costello and points
further down Sinnemahoning grew
more encouraging as the day ad-
vanced. At Costello, while there was
a heavy financial loss, it was said
that no more than two persons were
dead. Beyond that point no fatalities
had been reported.
The survivors will not suffer from
hunger or lack of care, as the supplies
and medical assistance rushed to the
scene seem ample to care for them.
e. F. Bicknell, national director of the
Red Cross, arrived, bringing with him
SIS, 900 in cash for immediate aid to
the food victims. OF the eight in
