tnade. The. sheriff has not answei-ed
any df the three end will not do so un
less there is a violent outbredk or fear
of it. .
The cdal famine is already causing
suffering here. The last two nights have
been very cold and -a-great many poor
people have appealed to the mayor and
the humane society for aid. They could
not get coal if they had the money to
buy -it as the supply here is exhausted
and there is fear that several factories
and schools will have to be closed soon.
The mayor has decided to open a wood
yard tomorrow and he will ask for dona
tions of any kind of wood. The needy
people will be allowed to jro tnere and
cu: it and take it home. The need of
provisions led to a raid on farms near
here last night and the farmers lost'
quantities of potatoes, cabbage", corn
and- other vegetables. A Wg produce
warehouse at Luzerne was broken into

and the first ship to take grain since the
storm sailed today. , v
The -.British steamship Benedict.
grounded north of the cannel by the
storm, was floated today. Her cargo ot
grain is reported uninjured, and if . a
board of survey pronounce her. sound
she will at once proceed to sea. V
The wreckage along the railway tracks
on the wharf is being rapidly removed
so as to accommodate regular traffic
when rail communication is restored.
The first switch locomotive since the
storm passed over a part of the" wharf
-track yesterday. The Mallory Line has
its wharf repaired to such an extent
that it will begin discharging the cargo
of the steojmship Comal, after which
the Sabine will be brought to her wharf;
and discharged, and then the Lampasas.
The agent, Mr. Denison, says there will
be , no interruption in the business of
the line beyond that caused directly by
the storm, and he expects business to be
practically upon a normal basis again
by the coming week if the railways are
in a condition to - handle - traffic by that
time. The loss rto the Mallory Line hero
in property and ' other damage will reach
$50,000. The company subscrilied $3,0(K
lor the relief of the storm sufferers, and
is determined to stand by the city. '
The Southern Pacific is making efforts
to get matters in shape for this sea
son's business. Engineer Soschke says
he is doing all he possibly can in the
rebuilding of the bridge, and as soon
as it is completed the work of recon
structing the Southern Pacific wharves
and terminals will begin with redoubled
energy. The part of the big pier that
was expected to be ready for business
September 13 is practically uninjured.
The dredge would now be at work in
front of the pier if the steamship Roma,
had not jammed 'into it and knocked out
part of her bulkhead. This break will
hare to be - repair yl before the dredga

spection of all hospitals and report upon
their sanitary condition. - Drs. Parkhamt
and West are directed to make an inspec
tion of the sanitary , conditions of all
overcrowded houses and ' report back to
the board. If the hospitals are found
crowded beyond their normal, capacity
or the hospital conditions unsanitary,
the patients will be removed to more
healthful quarters, and the premises
thoroughly .cleaned and disinfected.
Where houses are found overcrowded
and the premises not in proper-sanitary
condition, the occupants will be com
pelled to move to emergency camps, and
the premises will be disinfected.
General Setirry told the Board of
Health that he was apprehensive that
sickness -would occur in the districts
where there was still an accumulation
of storm wreckage, stagnant water and
garbage, and he asked the board for dis
infectants. He also suggested that camps
be located in open districts to which per
sons now living in dangerous localities
should be' sent.
