Clearing Galveston's Streets
BeiQg Pushed Steadily For?
ward by a Thousand Work?
men.
Galveston, Tex, Sept 17 -The work
of clearing the streets of debris and
wreckage is progressing steadily and
j with systematic rapidity. Thc military
authorities have gradually perfected the
aystem aod divided the laborers so that
there is comparatively no interruption
or delay in thc undertaking
The reports filed at Gen Scurry's
headquarters up to 9 o'clock tonight
reported the recovery and disposition of
but 45 bodies during the day A News
reporter, however, noted the Soding of
130 bodies, women and children
Health Officer Wilkinson stated to?
day that 40 per cent of the debris of
every description bad been removed
from the streets ; that 95 per cent of
the dead bodies had been disposed of
and that 95 per eent of the carcasses of
animals had been relieved from the
city. But as the work of removing the
debris goes ou more bodies are being
unearthed every hour.
A hopeful feature cf the situation ie
the rapid progress being made by the
railroads in their efforts to restore rail
communication. The Santa Fe ha9
reached Texas City City with tracks
and it is announced that trayns will
enter the Union depot here on Thurs?
day next.
Galveston, Tex, Sept 17.-Tbe ninth
day after the storm and still the
gruesome work goes on of recovering
the dead from the gigantio mass of
debris that lines thc south side of. what
remains of the city.
Yesterday 107 bodies were recovered
and cremated. Among them was a
mother with a suckling baby clapped
tight to her breast. The body of Maj
W. T. Lsvy, Uoited States emigrant
inspector of this district, wa3 among
the number. He made a struggle to
6afe his wife and three children. All
were lost. The bodies of the wife and
ohildren have not been recovered* and
are still among thc u:-.ioterred dead.
The number recovered and cremated
today wiil exceed 100. Tbe task of
recovering the bodies that are beneath
or jammed into this immense rick of
debris, extending from the eastern to
the western limits of the city, a distance
of over three miles, is a herculean one
and the most expeditious way of remov?
ing the whole from a sanitary point of
view is by fire. This, however, io the
cripped oondition of the fire department
and waterworks would endanger the
remaining portion of the city As it
now stands this immense mass of debris
strewn with dead bodies, tho carcasses
cf animals, is a sore menace to the
hes I rh of the city and is the most
difficult problem the board of health hns
to coal wi:h
j Tbe work of opening the streets and
j disinfecting them is being vigorous!?
I orosecuted. Th?? debris and garbage is
I . ot?
j being removed. 250 vehicles of every
di scrip'ioo carrying it cur to a safe
place where it is buroed. In a few
j days ail stree** wiii be opened for the
! passage of vehicle?. Tcday it wa>
decide i at a meeting <f thc central
executive committee that ali the labor?
ers now employed in burying tbe dead,
cleaning the buildings and moving tbe
debris from tbe streets and sidewalks
shall receive $1 50 per day and
rations Heretofore they have been
working for nothing and if they refus- j
ed were impressed by the military.
The work of relief of the eiok aod
j injured is well io haod aod ander the '
direction of skilled physieiaos aod ?
ourses it ir improved daily.
Eleven hundred tents were reoeived
today by the board of health.
All except 300, retaioed for hospital
purposes, will ba distributed by the
chairmen of the various ward sob com?

STITCHED GOWNS.
Tailor Made Fashions In Cloth and
Silk.
A multiplicity of lines of stitching con?
tinuos to bc used. Skirts have often from
10 to 20 rows of stitching around the
foot, usually of a contrasting tone, and
sleeves are seen which are covered with
lines of stitching from the shoulder to
the waist. The heavy straws of which
many summer hats are made are also
Stitched with silk of a contrasting color.
Tailor made gowns of thin cloth,
thick silk, peau de soie and satin are
greatly worn. They are chiefly in shades
beginning with gray, passing thromrh
browns, blues and green to black. The
VOILE COSTUME.
last named especially is used because it
is becoming and useful and gives the fig?
ure greater elegance.
There is a general doubt arising as to
the long continuance of plaited costumes
in favor, and when such a doubt arises
it is generally well founded. All extreme
fashions are short lived. Those which
endure for any length of time are usually
more or less practical and offer some
good excuse for their existence.
The costume illustrated is of mastic
voile. The skirt is plaited and stitched
at the hips and mounted in a watteau
plait at the back. It opens in front over
a tablier of sky blue plaited silk, with
two bands of guipure at each side. The
close bodice is trimmed to match, having
a plastron of plaited blue silk with two
bands of guipure. The top of the voile
sleeves is of blue silk and has two gui?
pure bands and a band at the waist. The
i fringed cravat is of white crepe de chine,
I tho belt of white kid. willi gu!d and tur
j qunise ornaments. The hat of yellow
! straw is trimmed with a drapery of sky
j blue tulle and blue quills.

A novel idea for petticoats is the re?
movable flounce. Petticoats of light silk
are quickly soiled a round the foot, and
some clever person has thought of using
a deep flounce of white or ecru batiste,
linen or tursore siik, trimmed with lace.
This is tacked in place and can easily- be

A new way of decorating white lawn
