LIFE HAS BEEN REPORTED
Railroad Service is Completely Tied Up but Rapid
Subsidence Makes it Possible that Trains

By Associated Pross.
New Orleans La. Aug. 1C The big
storm has practically subsided here
and both the river and lake are fall-
ing The water has receded rapidly
from the section of city orer-flooded
yesterday. Large bodies of men are
repairing the damage done at the va-
rious lnke resorts. There has been
no loss of life in the Mississippi sound
country. The railroads are still badly
crippled. The subsidence of water
however makes It probable that the
damage to track3 will be quickly re-
paired and that trains will be resum-
ed by tonight A large number of busi-
ness men are still unable to get to
their offices. The steamer BtiJer
arrived hero today after experiencing
lioavy winds but was not injured and
saw no vessels In distress. The

damage nt the cjuaranti.e station but
that considerable property had been
swopt away ai Port Ends.

The city hall .flatter which came
before the olty coiincll last night at
the rvgttUr meeting of that body goes
over for another wek. New proposals
were aakei for and none were report
ed. I'. I.'. Greer was present and
stated to tho council that a committee
consisting of M. L. Carlisle Joe Willis
himself and several others Interested
In the property adjoining the propos-
ed sits on block 58 had been out soltc-
itlng for the purchase of the lots on
the north side of the west half of this
block and that they had raised nearly
all the money needed to buy the lots
and present them to ute efty. Several
owners are away nt the present Unm
and action could not be had upon
them and It was asked that the coun-
cil permit the matter of choosing the
site go over for one week believing
hat by that time Ute matter can be
arranged and these lots secured for
the ciy. He asked the council to aid
In the matter by condemning the lota
for city purposes so that the purchase
price might be brought within the
ability of the committee working up
the deal.
Recently the owners of the lots have
raised the price of them far above
what they were oCered for previous
to the city hall site talk.
The prices asked now range from
$800 to $1200 per lot and are consid
ered clear out of reason.
Mr. Qreer thought that they could
be secured for $6600 and Utat the
committee would have Third street
opened through this tract fifty feet
east of the east ' of Third street
where It joins Harrison avenue. Tula
would give the city hall a frontage of
one hundred feet on Oklahoma avenue
and two hundred feet on Harrison
avenue.

Pittsburg Pa Aug. 10. The re-
verse of frv-Mt by the men of Jollc-t has
cheered the steel strikers more than
any other eveut of the week and their
hopes again seem high. It has ended
for the time being all talk of peace
and given the fight tho aapect of a
prolonged one. The strikers declare
In their enthusiasm that they will
force the Milwaukee men to Join tbem
and that In the end the Chicago steel
workers rsther than lose the hall
iu.uk of unionism wilt finally recon-
sider their action and swing Into line.
The loss at Joliet has had no ap-
parent effect upon the men who are
directing the fight operations of the
steel corporations. One of them re-
marked when he heard the news from
Joliet:
"Well It seems to be setting down
we can win at that sort of game."
There were no developments today
in the situation In western Pennsyl-
vania Ohio or West Virginia. Mo-
Keesport and Wheeling continue si-
lent while in Pittsburg and vicinity
no effort van made to add to tho force-
at the mil's wlil. h are working in full
