mate of dead and wounded at
Falls O'ty hall has been over
marked ami that the total number
in the building when it ccllapsed
was not half as great as the first
guess placed it. .Mary Holscher,
who was in attendance at a meet
ing of the Knights and Ladies of
Honor on the top floor Fays that
instead of 200 up there thtre were
about 75 people in the room. The
number in the dancing school floor
relow was also smaller than at
first reported. She says the first
intimation they had of what was
coming was a blinding flash of
lightning and a violent gust of
wind which phook the building.
The jieople became frightened
and were pr -paring to leave the
birlding, but before they could get
their wraps, the windows were
blown in, the gas went out, and a
moment later the floor caved
under them. Mrs. Holscher he
came unconscious and knew no
more until the rescuers came and
took her out from the debris.
AID FOR THE SUFFERERS.
Loi isville, March 2!) The ex
ecutive commit.ee of the relief
tund received a large number of
additional subscriptions and all the
cases of destitution where imme
diate action was necessary have
been cared for.
To-morrow a thorough system
will be put in operation by which
everybody who needs aid will be
given relief. The amount of funds
now in the hands of the treasurer
is about $32,000 and this is being
added to to-night. Offers of aid
have been received from a number
of outside cities, but the boarJ of
trade committee declined the offers
of assistance for the present.
Mayor Jacobs said, however, while
he was opposed to calling for out
side help, if voluntary contribu
tions were offered he would advise
their acceptance.
SAN FRANCISCO OFFERS $100,000.
The following dispatch was re

ONE HVNDKED DEAD AT LOCISVII.LE.
Louisville, March 29. Up to
midnight 94 bodies have leen re

six more may be found in out of
the way places. Of those injured
to any extent the closest estimate
to-night is 125. Of this number at
least 23 are in a very critical con
dition. To tho relief committee the
Knights and Ladies Honor society
report that there were at the time
of the disaster 100 people in their
hall. They have made a careful
canvass, showing 23 deaiandSl
wounded. Five are known to
have escaped unhutt and the rest
are still unaccounted for. Some of
these latter may be dead, but it
will not be definitely known be

A SEA0F "WATER.
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER OVER
FLOWING THE COt NTRY. .
Houses Inundated Great Damage
to Plantations Teople Fleeing
for Their Lives.
(reenvillk. Miss., March 29.
The storm .Thursday drew the
waters oi tho swollen Mississippi
over tin levee here ami caused
great crevasses where the embank
ment was previously thought to be
secure.
The break? were at the eastern
levees a half mile above Monnd
landing and a mile and a half be
low Huntington on Timber 1-ake
plantation. The outflow from
these places w ill inundate a large
section of country before it reaches
the Yazoo river, again to join the
great river, leaving desolation and
ruin in these parts, submerging
the garden etiot ot tazoo telta.
and entirely suspending railroad
travel from Ix-lamt to Kollinglarin.
The water from the Hnntington
break joined the outpour from the
Offutt break, which overflows a
large section of country.
These waters will swell its
volume, bearing to the West against
Greenville and a portion of country
spreading out toward William's
bayou on the east and no doubt
will blend with the waters from
the eastern break, making a per
fect sea of water from here to the
Bayou Philia and perhaps over
flowing the east banks of this
stream. The junction of the
waters from these three Ftreams
w ill overflow nearly all the planta
tions in Washington county, in its
entire length and breadth until
Starkey and Isaquena counties are
reached, then connecting with the
outpour from the Skipwith break,
ovet flowing everything in its track
until the Yazoo is reached.
The damage this will do to plan
tations, etock, fences, houses,
stores, towns and railroads is be
yond calculation.
Crops will all le late and in
many cases it may not be possible
to plant more. The latest news from
the eastern break is that it is now
600 feet wide and increasing fast,
The water has crossed to the west
bank of Williams bayou at Avon
dale and is six feet deep in the
stores at that place.
A late dispatch to-night says the
protection of the levee in the rear
of Greenville cannot last through
the night.
HUNDREDS HOMELESS.
Immense Damage to Property In
Tennessee and Kentucky.
Gallatin, Tenn., March 29.
News of the terrible storm is slow
in coming in, an it will bo to-morrow
before a full list of the dead
and hurt can be had.
Every house ard building be
tween Blessoe and Eulia, in the
path of the storm, was blown away,
and hundreds of people were
injured, and are now without food
and shelter.
It is reported that the whole
town of Dixon Springs, in Smith
county, thirty-five miles distant,
was swept out of existence. The
wires are interrupted, and full par
ticulars are yet unobtainable.
These hurt by the storm near
Gallatin will probably recover.
The Chesapeake & Nashville
road suffered greatly in two places.
About 600 feet of high trestle
work was destroyed and two 300
ton iron bridges were blown from
their pillars and wrecked. The
loss to stock and other property in
this district is estimated at $2,
000,000. A dispatch from Marion, Ken
lucky, says that a large portion of
that town was destroyed and 4
lives lost. A family consisting of
Mr. and Mrs. Montague and four
daughters and the mother of-Mrs.
Montague, living in the country 8
miles from Marion, were crushed
to death by the falling of their
dwelling.
A family boat moored about 5
miles abovo the mouth of Green
ltiver was dashed to pieces against
a tree and a man named Krazier,
his wife and sister drowned.
The wounded in Marion county
will teach 53 and at least a dozen
of these will die.

THE GERMAN CRISIS
BISMARCK'S FAREWELL TO
.. THE CITY OF BERLIN.
Before Leaving He Makes a Caie
ful Statement to American Min
ister Fhelps.
Berlin, March 29. I'rince Bis
marck left Berlin for Friedercchs
ltuhe, his country seat, to-day.
Yesterday he visited the imperial
mausoleum and placed a wreath
upon the coffin of William I.
Thousands of persons gathered
in the Wilhelms.'rasse and along
tho route to the railway station
and greeted him with stormy en
thusiasm. The windows of" the
houses in the vicinity were crowded
with spectators. The entire route
was lined with waving handker
chiefs. A number of carriages
tilled with his friends and admir
eis closed the procession. When
the party ai rived at the station all
tho ministers of the diplomatic
corps and court and state officials
were waiting to bid tarewell to the
prince. Mountains of bouquets
for the prince and piincess were
piled in the waiting rooms.
Bismarck in. a hearty voice Sid
all farewell, Phelps, the" American
minister, and Von Caprivi being
among the la-t to take his hand.
Many tears were shed and it was
altogether an affecting scene. At
3:40 tho train started amid re
newed cheering and eiuging.
In connection with the regard
evinced by Bismarck for the Amer
ican minister, l'helps, it is worthy
of note that on Tuesday last he de
nied himself to all others and re
ceived Phelps at a private audience.
The object of the discussion ex
cited much curiosity here. " Bumor
says that the prince made a care
ful statement of recent events with
a view to the future. The real
history of the crisis is still wrapped
in mystery. The appointment of
Baron Bierherstein is regarded as
final.
A sitting of the labor conference
was held to-day. Minister Von
Berlepsch made a long address.
He believed the delegates hd ar
rived at a-decision on-which to
form a basis of procedute and had
developed the idea of protecting
and securing the material and
moral welf ire of the workingmrti,
and had found a common stand
point for the solution of several
questions by individual govern
ments according to the exceptiona
circumstances.
In conclusion the minister con
veyed to the delegates the emper
or's thunks for their labors.
