St. Louis, Mav 30. Although thousands
. of men have been at work night ami day
clearing away the wreckage in the path of
the tornado, they have scarcely nnide a
perceptible impression towards 'restoring
the chaotic confusion I to anything like
order. Passageways have been made
through some of the principal thorough
fares, it is true, but for(the most part the
streets are still choked with the battered
remains of homes and factories hospitals
and churches. The path of the storm is
fully a mile and a half wide. It starts
away out in the suburbs of the city, where
beautiful homes of people of wealth are lo
cated. Taking a zigzag course it extends
down through where ;the densely popu
lated tenement houses; are located, fully
six miles, and crosses the river.
The number of families left homeless by
the devastation along the path of the st orm
will reach up into the thousands. In niany
instances thee unfortunates have losi: all
their worldly possessions. Many wilt for
days be dependent on charity and ' their
more fortunate neighbors for shelter. (This
has made it necessary for the mayor of East
St. Louis to make an appeal for aid.
There exists about a much uncertainty
as to the actual number of people killed
and the amount of property damaged as
on the first morning of the disaster. Scores
of dead have been identified, but no one is
willing to venture a guess as to how many
bodies may be in the ruins of the hundreds
of buildings as yet unexplored. - . .
Corrected reports from various sources
along the river front materially reduce the
estimate of the loss by drowning. How
many, roustabouts went down will proba
bly never be known, as they are generally
of a class in whose welfare there is little
interest, most of them being negro no
mads who move from one port to another.
The destitution, misery and want here
has touched the hearts nf the people in all
parts of the country, and as a result ever
since the storm of Wednesday offers of
help and contributions have been pouring
in. Up to a late hour $45,000 was the
total amount of donations received.
The many messages show that the purses
