Guinness of Tragedy Inn
pressed by Arrival of Car
Load of Collins.
AsPEcT IS pRE ARY
Property Loss Amounts to
So, 100000 and Town May
Not Be Rebuilt.

AUSTIN, Pa, Oct. with the
arrival OF car load of collins here
today, the grimness of the tragedy
which has practically annihilated
this town was impressed on the
workers who renewed their efforts to
mine deeply into the hills of debris.
Twenty victims, including two at
Costello, had been placed in tenn
porary morgue at the Odd Fellows,
hail, as one OF the few building still
standing in the ruined district.
The identified dead now number
10.
The most essential matter in hand
now Is the counting Of the people
who remain alive. II the death list
aegregntes anything like the NUM-
her some have estimated, the health
authorities realize that conditions
demanding prompt attention will
arise with a few days in the ruins.
The most careful investigators
are unprepared to learn that more
than 200 lives have been lost. There
is a possibility that $50 will be the
total.
Twelve hours dowpour of rain re-
duced the number of incoming peo-
pie considerably and policing con-
ditions are now perfect. State con-
stabuiary, state sanitary engineers
and the chief officials Of the state
health department are cooperating
Tor measures of protection and re-
lief.
The aspect is dreary and appall-
ing. A property loss Of $s,oOo,ooo
vSas sustained7, and the town may
never be re5built-
Costello is shattered as is Austln'
and only the timely warming OF tel
ephone operators held the death list
there to two.

in the big institution.

stitut!on, among them being the Inn
provement of the reservoir and. the
farm. This work is being done by
the inmates and in the opionion of
