There Is wreckage enough lo last the whole city n year for fuel: hut great care must be exercised In the burning of It. or a general conflagra tion will sweep what remains of the city. Some of the people living In Ihe rent* hav* been able to And remnants of Ihelr own furniture, and with these have made Ihelr eanvas dwelling* as homelike a* possible.

While Ihe hot weather lasted Hus strange settlement was per haps tha most healthful portion of Gal veston. despite the corpses putrefying under that nearby rulgw of wreckage and the ghastly cremation* that were going on all along the beach. Driving through Hie "While City" last f!unday, we saw perhaps twenty fire* burning, and passing cloa* to one of them, got out to see what It contained. The man In charge told us that the heap hsd been kept hlaxlng con tinuously for three weeks and during that time had consumed more than sixty hu man bodies, to say nothing of dogs, cat* and larger carcasses.
