Day of '96 will hereafter be an annl-
ersary of saddened memories to tne
people of the Mound City. "Old
Glories" Innumerable .111, as of old,

around the principal thoroughfares
and over Grand avenue to the last
resting places of the departed at beau
tlful Calvary and Eelfontatn.
There were a number or funerals to
day, but relatives of the great major
Ity of the victims preferred to take ad
vantage of the fact that the morrow Is
Decoration Day and a half holiday.
and therefore arranged accordingly for
the Interments.
At a regular meeting of the municipal
assembly tonight Mayor Walbrldgo
submitted a special message nuking
that the assembly appropriate $100,000
for the relief of the storm sufferer.!.
Tills proposition was favorably re- ;
eelved, but the exigencies of leglsla-i
tion will delay conclusive action far '.
several days. - j
Mayor Walbridee took occasion In
his message to point out that St. Louis !
was the only city in the country which
naa weathered safely the recent finan
cial gale, and It 'hould not be said rt-.at
any disturbance, physical of lioaucial,
could make St. Louis a mendlcuiH ask
ing alms. This Independence of feel
inif seems universal here. It docs not
appear to be braggadocio, but serene
confidence In the. ability and disposi
tion of St. LouUans to care - fur the
storm viotims. , . .

The hurricane struck only a portion
of the buildings, 'the principal loss
being from fire. The first reports of
damage at the Turner Iron works
were exaggerated. All buildings and
machinery ore Intact, and the works
will be operated Monday.
The list of dead which have been
hitherto printed, have been of neces
sity, been full of errors. Men were re
ported dead who were missing and
have since turned up; false indentlflca-
tions were made, names confused by
misinformation add misspelling, so
that there have been already printed
the names of more than have really
been found.' There are still many per
sons missing and some are undoubted
ly still in the ruins. The work of dis
covery 4s now progressing somewhat
more slowly owing to the complete ex
haustion of the worker?, and the neces
sity for repairs In their own shattered
homes.
There are unquestionably mtiny per
sons who have been killed whose dis
appearance has not been noted.
LARGE HOTELS UNINJURED.
None of the large hotels were lnlureil
and the section of the city that f'U
the brunt of the storm Includes but a
handful of houses that - have been
placed tn the list of contingent extra
accommodation for visitors. More than
nine-tenths nf the houses so listed and
covering a radius from half a mile to
two miles west of the Auditorium are
In a district entirely outside the path of
the storm.
Up to noon today Coroher Walt had
held eighty inquests. In each case a
verdict setting forth the fact that the
deceased had come to his or her death
by Injuries received us the result of a
tornado, was teturned. About the same
number of inquests have been held in
East St. Louis, the verdicts being in
similar terms.
Workmen are busily engaged hi clear
ing away the wreckage of the St. Louis
Refrigerator and Wooden Gutter com
pany, In which it Is believed over
twenty-five bodies lay. beneath the
ruins. The mass of debris Is so great,
however, that it 1b not believed the
basement of the building, In which the
bodies are, will be reached inside of
twelve hours.
Miss Minnie Conrad, 22 years of age,
daughter of Lieutenant Conrad, of Jef
ferson Barracks, Is believed to be
among the killed. . She left home
Wednesday afternoon and has not been
seen or heard from since, '
' MARVELOUS ESCAPE.:
While workmen were digging In the
ruins of one of the tenements at Sev
enth and Rutger street, where so much
havoc was caused, an Infant voice cried
out: . ., v - - v
"Please don't be so rough." An
opening was quickly' made In the deb
ris above the spot from whence the
voice Issued, and through Its depth a
10-year-old boy, leading three . girls
about the same age appeared. -All
were uninjured, ' although they ' were
weak from-' hunger, and confinement
for nearly forty hours. A shout of joy
went Up from the crowd, and before
the police could ascertain any names,
the little ones had been carried away.
Somebody asked the little boy-as he
was disappearing how he came to be
so lucky,- and. he piped -m childish ac
cents: "Wo Just fell In. soft place."
Among the missing reported are George
Howard, of Minneapolis, and Edward
Ray, a stockholder of the Mnsslllon
Bridge company, of Robinson, III. ,
The steamer City of Qulncy, recently
urcbi hv th Rlviw flnh. nninot
of St Louis millionaires, is- reported
sunk, with watchman, engineer and
cook.
The alarming rumor prevail? that a
priest and several nuns are still under
the ruins of St. Henry's Roman Catho
lic church, corner of California avenue
and Caroline street. The damage to
St Louis theaters by wind and rain
la estimated in the aggregate at $18,000.
The lost Is mainly caused by buildings
being unroofed and scenery destroyed
by water. f
DEATH OP A GHOUL.'
There Is one particular unidentified
body In the morgue that tomorrow will
be Interred tn the potter's field, (Imply
because it Is too badly mangled to be
of service to the anatomical class of
the colleges. The Injuries that result
ed in the victim's death are not at
tributable to the tornado, but were
rather a sequence of horror. A couple
of hours after the power house of the
South Side electric line had been lev
eled, with nine employes In the ruins,
a tramplBh looking individual put in
an appearance and volunteered to as
sist in the search. During the night
four bodies were taKen from the deb
ris and laid side by side. Then,' ac
cording to a local cltlsen who told his
story at the morgue today, the volun
teer, availing himself of what he
thought was a favorable opportunity,
proceeded to rifle the clothing of the
dead. He was caught In the act by
one of the searchers and who, without
warning, felled him with a brick. Then
with cries of "lynch the thief," the en
tire party of searchers fell upon him,
with kicks and blows from boards
and scantlings, and when they paused
for breath the ghoul was dead. A
pledge of secrecy was quickly passed
around, the ambulance was sent for
and the body conveyed to the morgue
under the supposition that It was that
of a victim of the power house wreck.
A RELIEF FUND.
St. Louis. Mo.,May 29. A hastily con
vened meeting of a lew leading citizens
was held yesterday In the Merchants'
Exchange and a fund of $15,000 raised
for the relief of the storm sufTtft-ers.
This was Increased to $20,000 today.
That was before the full extent of the
calamity was known. Today, when the
awful panorama of death and destruc
tion was fully unrolled the relief fund
;!was doubled within two hours and Is
constantly-growing. A relief commit
tee has assumed the task of receiving
and distributing contributions to the
j fund. Notwithstanding no. appeal for
! outside asslrtarce hti3 been made, the
relief committee Is deluged with sub
stantial girts ox money from every
quarter, all of them accompanied with
expressions of sympathy and words of
K'd . cheer. Th.y are being rejected
with kindly words of apnreclntton, and
the statement that St. Louis is amply
competent to taite care of all her desti-
tute and deserving.

DESTRUCTION AT AMBLER,
Damage from the Cyclone Is Greater
Than Was First Supposed.
Ambler-, Pa., May 29. The destruc
tion wrought by the cyclone yesterday
is greater than was at first supposed.
A tour made over the stricken district
today reveals a picture of desolation
never before witnessed In this vicinity.
Below Ambler and Jarrettown, where
the storm was the most severe, no less
than seventy-five barns, houses and
other buildings are either partly or
completely destroyed. The loss will
nmount to aver $100,000. Alexander
Knight says the lnss to his property
will be more than $25,000.
(ornner Kurtz gave permission to
bury the bodies of Albert MoITatt and
Winfleld Emslle, who were killed at
Jarrettown. He did not deem an
in-
quest necessary.
John Bets-, who was injured in the
wreck at the hotel stables. Is not ex
pected to recover. The work of clear
ing away the debris is going on rapidly
today, giving employment to hundreds
of men. The lo3s will fall heavily on
the oroperty owners as many of the
buildings were not insured against
storms. Mr. Knight had no Insurance
on his buildings and his loss Is com

WILL TREAT DELEGATES ALIKE
lias No Intention of Excluding from
the Roll Call Any Delegate Who Has
Announced His Iateatioa .of Bolt
lag a Gold Standard Ticket.
Washington, May 29. Senator-elect
Money (Bern., Miss ), who ia one of the
delegatea-at-larg from his state to the
Chicago convention, recently wrote a
letter to Mr. Harrity, of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the Democratic executive
committee, calling his attention to the
widely published reports that he (Har
rity) was credited with having an
nounced that an attempt would be made
to exclude from the convention free
silver delegates who might be suspect
ed of an intention to bolt in case the
convention declared for gold. Mr.
Money, who Is an ardent free-silver
man, aa a delegate asked Mr. Harrity
to make a frank reply to him aa to the
truth of these reports. He received a
response today in which Mr. . Harrity
ays:
,"It is not true-that 1 have declared
any intention by the Democratic na
tional committee to exclude from the
roll-call of the convention any delegate
who has expressed a purpose to bolt if
the convention does not favor In Its
platform the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at 16 to 1. If any state
ment was made by me. either private
ly or publicly, I did not undertake to
speak for the committee nor any of
ficer thereof. .
"What I did say waa that Jn my per
sonal Judgment no man ought to enter
or be admitted in any political conven
tion or caucus who ia not prepared to
abide by the will of the majority and
acquiesce tn this direction; and I fur-ther-atated
that in my opinion this
ought to apply with equal force to those
who oppose as to those who favor free
coinage.
WILL SUPPORT THE MAJORITY,
"I. too, am a delegate to the Chicago
convention and should a majority of
that body make a platform and nomin
ate candidates not tn accord with my
views, I will abide by the result and
give loyal and cordial support to the
candidates. If I did not Intend to do so,
I should consider it my duty not to
enter the convention. Political conven
tions are called for the purpose of har
monisms: or comuromiu.nK sum uiner-
dpi, policies, or eiwdlclotrs. To hold
those who entertain fixed views at e
to be Kmltted to be bo tenacious ..f
them ai to first endeavor to control and
thfn to wUhdraw m ni of faihire. is
a long step towards contending that a
minority should govern. . It Is a sound
Democratic doctrine that the will of
the majority should govern. It is usu-
lif ' or-ogtiliedto such an extent In
f , ' L'" "I
W
ofthe convention. There IS no founda-
tion whatover for that statement. It is
a pure invention, and was doubtless
made in order to annoy end Irritate,
and If some distinguished Democrats be
correctly reported, the author of the
story has been successful in his pur
pose.". .
HAUNTED BY A VOICE.
Joseph Knecht Drlvei to Suicide by aa
Unearthly Scream That Raaf la Hii
Head for Thirty-five Yean.
Wilkes-Barre, May 29. An old sol
dier named Joseph Knecht, living at
Noxen, 73 years old, caused his own
death by taking poison a few days ago.
The story is that he purchased ten
cents worth of arsenic and remarked
that he was going to kill himself, but
nobody believed It Yesterday he was
found in a barn d?ad.
In connection with the circumstances
! of Knecht's desth. It is said that when
he was a soldier in the war for the
Union, a rebel shot one of Knecht's
comrades. This occurred near the
rebel's home, and Knecht vowed re
venge. Going to the house with the
loaded gun h? slew the rebel In the
presence of his wife and family. The
waxon sc eaTed when she saw her hus
band killed, and her voice had such
an unearthly sound that Knecht said it
always haunted him, and he was going
to kill himself In order to get away
from the result of his cruelty.

New York, May 29. R. G. Dun ft
Co. will say tomorrow in their weekly
Review of Trade:
Failures for the week have been 239
in the United States, against 215 last
year, and 20 In Canada against 84 last
year.
Continued exports of gold are recog
nised as natural results of the borrow
ing and - Importing early In the year,
but caused no serious apprehension.
There la a general conviction that de
structive schemes will not succeed, al
though at present political uncertain
ties cause part of the business that
might be done to be postponed until the
future Is more clear. When conven
tions are over, the field for doubt will
be much narrowed. A great many
men will then begin to act on what
they consider certnlntls. Othf-rs will
find their worst fears idle, and will set
tle down to business. Business is a
question of human nature, and he reads
It best who remembers that all sorts
of people hm'p a share, bv thlr hones
and fears, their purchases on econo
mies. In n-'aklntr tr.ide. It seems prob
able at presciit that a majority, after
the conventions have actca, will be In
a more hopeful humor than they are
now.
Markets for products are weaic rather
than stagnant. The business done is
small, but largely governed by the be
lief In large crop and in sufficient de
mfid. Wheat tins fallen 8 cents, cot
ton' -has fallen nn eighth In spite of
continued reports thnt famine Is near.
Decrease In manufacture of 30 -per cent,
at the north perhaps more at the south,
show the real nature of estimates based
on continued manufacture at maximum
rate. Receipts still Indicate a crop of
seven mlll'on bales last year; a yield ts
promised much greater than consump
tion In any year. -
Boot and shoe shipments 6 per cent,
larger than, last year, then the largest
on record. Indicate thnt In some
branches makers are catching un with
their orders, and many are discharging
cutters. Yet many others have orders
for months ahead, and sales still run
large for the season, and manufactur
ers quite generally Insist upon a slight
advance. In prices, which buyers do not
yet pay. The Iron and steel markets
are weak, with lower prices, because
the demand for finished product is en
tirely inadequate, though prloes of
these are higher. Pig Iran has fallen
over five per cent, since April 1, but
tne average or finished' products has
advanced 8 per cent Plates weakened
and there is no improvement In sheets
or rods, but beam makers have raised
the prices $2 per ton, making a slight
advance in the average of all prices for
the week. It Is possible that rebuilding

stronger.
Railroad earnings for May have been

Shepherd, of Philadelphia. This showed
a surplus In the assembly treasury of
$39,000 on May IS, UK. The stated
clerk and a statement from-the per
manent clerk. Rev. William E. Moore,
denied the charge that the two clerks
had prepared a list of the committees
in advance and submitted them to the
moderator to help him in making up bis
committees, and the moderator added
a word to the same effect The assemb
ly applauded these statements.
The discussion on the theological
seminary control was resumed. Judge
Humphrey, of Louisville, supporting,
the report
Dr. Agnew, of Philadelphia, offered
a substitute for number I of .the reso
lutions, which suspends the privileges
conferred on the assembly by the com
pact of 187& The substitute urged the
seminaries to take such, steps as would
bring about adoption of the plan of
1895 and he announced that the com
mittee had accepted the substitute as a
compromise.
The seminary control report with the
substitute was then adopted unani
mously. ; ,
Winona, Ind., was selected as the
next .meeting of the assembly.
At the afternoon session Dr. Hub
bard, of Auburn, presented the report
of the committee on temperance. In
stead of the usual prohibition resolu
tion which has already created a de
bate in the assembly, the report favors
the education of the rising generation
In the true principles of gospel temper
ance by arousing the conscience to the
evils of Intemperance; assisting In en
forcing all laws that tend to restrain
and control this gigantic sin and en
couraging by all proper means the
growth of a healthy public sentiment,
thereby bringing about such changes
In the law as will tend to destroy this
great evil. ' j
It was recommended also that
each church session should appoint a
permanent committee on temperance
to ilevlie vays and means for uniting
and directing the energy ot the church
against Intemperance.
