The coroner estimated the death liet would total seventy-fve. Some headway was made during the night, but there still remain, how- ever, great piles of ruins that have not been explored. One body was recovered during the t. Eighteen vietims of the disaster have been identified. Twenty-four bodies have been recovered and fifteen are known to be missing. Coroner Hanley said this morning that he thought the| death list would reach seventy-five, | being swelled by the probable loss of & number of foreigners whose houses were swept away on the banks of the creek at Ninth street. Naval Militia on Patrel Duty. Work of clearing up the city was com- | menced in earnest this morning. The | naval militia was called out to reinfores | the national guardemen on duty guarding | the stricken section, and sightscors were kept away from the working gangs. Mayor Btern announced that he had re- cefved offers of rellef from many cities in Pemnsylvania, but he thought the city would be able to take care of its own ex- penses. Phystclans from the Pennsylvania heslth department arrived here during the night, and at once took up the task of safeguarding the city from pestilence, All persons known to have come in con- tact with the fiithy flood water were ordered to appear at the office of the Erie health buresu this afterncon for Vaccination against typhod.

The opening day of the Omaha Driving club’s first meeting passed into history as a distinct success. The racing was remarkable for close finishes and sus- | tained effort in every heat by horses and drivers.

SITUATION OF RIGA IS CRITICAL LONDON, Aug. b.~—Warsaw's fall | is now considered In London tp be so certain that its fate has ceased to be a matter of speculation, while the vast turning movement of the Ger- mans to the northward of the Polish | capital is exciting the concern of the entente allles. It is feared by observers here that the evacuation of Warsaw may be too late to save the armies of Grand Dulke Nicholas from the grave disas- r which would be inevitable if Feld Marshal Von Hindenburg should get astride the Warsaw-Petro- grad railway. In the north the Russians now are de- fending the line of the Hkau river, east of Mitau. This means that the Germans are at a point forty mives south of Riga and about one march from that town.

Move than 500 of these vessels were sailing ships, which had been built coast.
