An Impressive Observance of Memorial Day This Mornlnf. rIlliant THE PARADE LARGE AND B Ceremonies of a Glowing Patriotic Charac ter at the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, In Which Many Public School Chlldren .Took Port. Tho American people to-day aro answering tho muster roll of tho nation. They aro answering tho call to honor tho memory of thoso who died that tho Union might live. They uphold the day and hold it in memory that oh this side of tho Atlantic ocean thero is a country of self-government and civil liberty by reason of tho sacrifices of tho de parted heroes. Tho gatherings in tho ceme teries is tho old, old story, but it never grows wearisome. Such is tho caso In Shenandoah to-day. Tho observance of Memorial Day in tho town this morning was probably moro general and tho ceremonies more impressive thau at any other place in tho coal region. The weather was delightful. At an early hour the streets wero crowded with peoplo pushing in overy direction and preparing for the celebration, most 'of them carrying bundles of Holers for tho graves of thodcad. The early dawn saw many residences and business places beautifully decorated with wreaths of overgreens, flags and bunting, and tho timo tho hour for tho lino Of parade to form arrived, many front3 of houses along tho route attested tho patriotism of tho people. Tho lino of paradedid not move punctually at tho hour fixed, nino o'clock, which was duo to many members of tho various organizations listed to participate being re quired to visit tho respective collieries at which they work to receivo their wages, but they accomplished this in good time, as tho paymasters wero on baud promptly at 7:30 o'clock. In many quarters tho 1'. & It. C. & I. Co. was complimented for the foresight in so arranging tho timo for paying its employes that it did not conflict with tho arrangements for a general observance of tho day. It was very gratifying to all tho workers, but tho business people wero not so well suited. They abhor pay days when they occurimmedlatcly beforo, or on a holiday, claiming that much money which should go to them is diverted into holiday jollification. Hut many re joiced that it was pay day, and a holiday, and that tho pay was dealt out early in tho morning. Tho display was ono of tho most imposihg ever held iu tho town on a Memorial Day. It embraced tho representative patriotic, social, beneficial and other organizations of tho town and each was well represented. As predicted, tho demonstration by tho schoo children was tho feature. Their presenc seemed to lend a peculiar impressiveness tha caused tho spectators to speculato upon tho fruits of tho coming generation and tho singing by tho children as they passed along tho routo in handsomely decorated wagons touched a chord that brought tears to tho eyes of many a veteran and others within rango of their voices. Tho educational idea iu connection with tho observance of the day is a good one and tho public schools will no doubt take part iu all observances of Memorial Day in this town. Tho lino of parade started from tho corner of Oak and Main streets and proceeded to White street, thenco to Coal, to Jardin, to Oak, to Chestnut, to Cherry, to Main, and then north to tho Odd Fellows' cemetery. As usual hundreds of peoplo crowded upon Main street to witness tho demonstration, but thero wero sufficient left on tho other streets to crowd threo and four deep along on each side of tho line, and at somo places tho peoplo wero so crowded it was with some troublo that tho head of tho lino found a passage All along tho routQ windows of residences and business places were filled with spectators. Tho crowds showed that thero wero many visitors to town. Tho or der of marching was as follows : Carriages containing orator of tho day, old soldiers and flower committees of G. A.

Among tho most noticeahlo organizations hi line was tho Pioneer Corps of Hopo Section No, 10, J. T. of II. & T. Tho boys wero neatly uniforiiieH and carried gleaming ases through many difficult evolutions.' They wero admirably drilled and fully deserved the applause betowed upon them. Tho ap pearance made by the St. Mary Magdaleno Cadet Society of Lost Creek was also very creditable and tho joint nppearanco of tho Knights of Annunciation and Phoenix Hoso Company occasioned much favorable Com' ment. They wore civilian dress and whlto gloves nnd carried canes. Tho Patriotic Drum Corps appeared In neat new uniforms, consisting of bluo sack coats and cap and whito duck trousers. Tho hcarso bear ing tho flowers was filled to its capacity, with a most beautiful collection. The donations wore very largo. Upon reaching tho Odd Fellows' cemetery tho committco of tho day escorted tho orator, Rev. D. I. Evans, pastor of tho Welsh Baptist church, to tho G. A. Ii. plot, followed by members of Watkin Waters Post, tho Sons of Veterans and members of the Women's Be lief Corps and Ladles' Aid Society. A circlo was formed about tho graves and tho service as prescribed by tho riiual of tho Grand Army of the Republic wero conducted by tho Post Commander and Chaplain. This was followed by discharge of three salutes over the graves of tho veterans and tho benediction . Tho oration was not a lengthy one, but full of ringing patriotic sentimeuts delivered with force and conviction. Following this part of tho program camo tho exercises of tho public school children. They wero exceedingly imprcssivo nnd added greatly to tho splendid observanco of the day. Thero was an address on Gettysburg by Miss Mamo Monaghan, a declamation entitled, "Odo for Decoration Day" by Miss Emma G. Llewellyn; a reading, " Tho Union Soldier," by Miss Gertie Kirk; and an eflectlvo declamation entitled, "Cover Them Over," by Miss Mamo Conway. These were interspersed by patriotic songs such as "America," "Beforo All Lands." and "Columbia, tho Gem of tho Ocean," thus serving to impress with greater forco upon tho minds of tho old aud young tho duty to honor the memories of thoso who fought so nobly to prcservo tho union and mado a glorious climax to an observanco of tho day of which tho citizens may feel rroud. Xotes of tho Day. Tho observanco at Pottsvillo was partici pated in by tho school children. District Attorney Edgar W. Bechtel delivered tho oration. General J. P. S. Gobin was tho orator at Minersvillo. Two bicyclo races will take placo this after noon, ono at Girardvlllo aud tho other at Tamaqua. Tho Kcystono Gymnasium Club is holding a picnic at Columbia park to-day. There will bo a buck and wing dancing contest. The 22 Club is holding an ico cream festival in Bobbins' opera houso. All tho public school buildings wero ela borately decorated with tho national colors to-day. Turkey Run can feel proud of tho De fender boys. Thoywero a gentlo reminder of lha old timo flro laddies in their red shirts. Councilman F. E. Mcgargle, Controller B. 15. Severn aud Representative Joseph Wyatt wero noticed in tho rauks of tho Columbia boys. Much praiso is duo to tho boys for their neat appearance in uniform. John Cathers was ono of the many mem bers of G. A. Ii. who marched witli the step of a youth of 20 years. Dr. E. D. I.ongacro presented a handsonio appearance on a spirited gray borao as an es cort to tho It. II. & L. Company. Both tho Lithuanian and Grant bands dis coursed excellent music on tho streets to-day. Tho drilling done by tho IIopo Section Pioneer (!orps aud St. Mary Magdaleno Cadet Society shows that when tho boys attain manhood they will bo ready to respond ably should tho country bo required to mako a call to arms.

OYER THREE HUNDRED ARE DEAD In St. Louis and East St. Louis, Though Many May ba Burled 'Neath Ruins Many Offers of Assistance, but St. Louis Will Care for Her Own. St. LODI9, May 80. Although thousands of men hnve been nt work night nnd day clearing uwny the WTeckago In tho path of tho tornado, thoy have scarcely made a perceptible Impression towards restoring tho chaotic confusion to anything like order'. Passageways have been mado through some of tho principal thorough fare?, It Is true, but for tho most part tho streets aro still choked with tho battered remains of homos and factories, hospitals nnd churches. Tho path of tho storm Is fully a mile anil a hnlf wldo. It starts nwny out in tho suburbs of tho city, where beautiful homes of pooliloof woalth aro lo cated. Taking a zigzag courso it extends down through wheru the densely popu lated tenomcnt houses nro loeatud, fully six miles, and crosses tho river. Tho number of families left homeless by tho devastation along tho path of tho Rtorm will reach up into the thousands. In many Instances these unfortunates have lost all their worldly possessions. Mirny will for days bo dopendent on charity and their more fortunate neighbors for shelter. This has made It necessary for the mayor of East fat. Louis to mako an appeal for aid. Thoro Is a probability that ono man whoso horribly mangled body was taken to tho morgue was not killed by the storm. A gentleman who was In tho neighborhood of the Union depot just nftcr tho storm asserts that somo of tho crowd thero assaulted a ghoul caught thieving and boat him to death. His story is that whllo viewing tho wreck ho saw hnlf a dozen men jump on a man who had been loafing about In tho crowd. Somo ono hit tho man with a club, felling him to the ground. Then tho crowd jumped on tho man and kicked him until ho was unconscious. Somo ono cried "lynch tho thief." Then tho crowd picked up his limp form and carried it to Uusscll ave nue, where tney put It in a dirt wagon and carted it oil. There oxists about as much uncertainty as to tho actual number .of peoplo killed and tho amount of property damaged as on tho first mornlngof tho disaster. Scores of dead have been identlllod, but no ono Is willing to venture a guess as to how many bodies may bo in tho ruins of the hundreds of buildings as yet unexplored. The total number of dead In St, Louis, Identified up to midnight, is 1(52 and in East Ht. Louis 127. In St. Louis there aro 23 bodlos still unldontifled and in East Sr. LouisS. It Is believed that tho deaths of tho injured and tho future recovery of bodlos will bring the St. Louis death list well up to 200. In East St. Louis tho city officials doclaro that thoy have hopo that tho death roll on that sido of tho river will not exceed 150, but tho rulus upon which tho rescuers have not yet begun to work may swell tho total beyond that figure. Tho estimates upon property loss havo grown wilder and union further apart. Guesses wore made today all the way from 12,000,000 to $30,000,000 for St. Louis and from 51,500,000 to .$20,000 OKI for B-ist St. Louis. Tho most popular estimate is in tho neighborhood of 925,(W,(KK) for both cities, including railroad bridges dam aged. Tlio building contractors of tho city have been overwhelmed with orders for rebuilding, and tho work of wiping out tho havoo of tho storm will bo pushed with all energy. Corrected reports from various sourcos along tho river front materially reduce tho estimate of tho loss by drowning. How many roustabouts went down will proba bly never bo known, as they are generally of a class in who'o welfare thero is little Interest, most of them being negro no mads who move from ono port to another. Of nil the thrilling experiences narrated on tho river front that of Miss Clam is given a distinguished position in tho list. She was employed as a typewriter in tho oillceof tho Diamond Joo lino, which has Its olllcos on tho wharf bunt. When tho Plttwburg was swept out by tho storm tho wharf boat went with It and likewise Miss Claru,,-who had been looking out tho win dow at tho clouds which betokonod the cyclono. "In an instant there was a rush and a roar.tho olllceboat nnd, nil wero oltat once. The wharf boat capsized when it reached Arsenal Island, aud Miss Clara escaped to a raft, receiving a. thorough drenching In tho meantime. From the raft she was as sisted by Captain Holand, of the Pittsburg, to that steamer. Tho young lady was re turned to tho city Thursday, only to find her home at Seventh and Gratiot in ruins. Tlu destitution, misery and want here has touched tho hearts of tho peoplo in all jmrts of tho country, and as a result, over since tho storm of 'Wodnesday offers of help and contributions havo been pouring in. Up to a lato hour 15,000 was the total amount of donations received. Tho many messages showthatthe purses as well as tho sympathy of tho peoplo of the United States nro at tho disposal of tho helpless unfortunates of St. Louis. Hut St. Louis Is a proud city. She Is always ready to givo, but never begs, unless It should become nocossary by abjoct want Tho peoplo of St. Louis who escaped the ravages of tha tornado will see that their brethorn do not snfforfor tho necessities of life or forany needed assistance. Tho mayor of tho Mound City, well knowing her clvio. prldo, has uniformly returned thanks to tho senders of ull tho telsgmms and answorod that St. Louis can care for her own, nnd whllo tho kind offers of financial assistance aro appre ciated, no outsldo aid will bo needed. From far off London Sir Henry Irving, Olgn Nethcrsolo and Wilson Harrott havo have cabled money, sympathy and offers of benefit performances If needed.
