In many rdaees the rubbish la plied twenty or thirty set high, and Dot Infrequently these great drifts cover an area oi nearly an acre. Narrow passage have been eat through In every direction, but the herculean labor of removing the rubbish has vet hardly begun. At a meeting ot the Belief Committee yesterday Gen. Hastings suggested the advisability ot drawing a cordon around the few houses that are not In ruins, and applying tbe toroh to the great sea of waste. lie explained briefly the great work yet to be ao-eompiished If it were hoped to thoroughly overhaul that portion of the debris and Insisted that It would take 0,000 men months to complete the task.

Of the hundreds of bod-lea burled beneath the rubbish, sand and stones the skeletons or putrid remains of many was all that could be hoped to be recovered. A motion was made, that after forty-eight hoars further searoh the deorls of the city be consumed by fire, the engines to be on hand to play on any valuables that, despite previous precautions, might become Ignited by the general conflagration. This motion was debated pro and con fos nearly halt an hour. Those whose relatives or friends still rest beneath the wrecks remonstrated strocgly against any such action. They Insisted that all the talk of threat-ned epldemlo was only the sensational gossip of fertile brains, and that the search tor the bodies should only be abandoned as a last extremity.

The physlcans in attendance warned the committee that the further exposure of putrid bodies in the valley could have but one result the typhoid or some other epldeinio equally fatal to Its victims. It was a question of whether tbe living should be sacrificed to the dead, or whether the sway of sentiment or tbe mandate of science should be the raltng impulse.

An Account of the Variations in the Demand for Tobacco and Pipes The Meerschaum Trade and Its Decline Ephemeral De- mandfor Fancy Cigars The Twist and tbe Rattan. he pH go frequent and inexplicable aa In the pipe and to bacco trade," said Jullu Xaldenberg, of Phlladel who Is at the Southern.

"I have been engaged in it for many years, and have coma to tbe conclusion that the veriest green born Is as likely to choose a line of goods that will sell as I am. A few years ago every one in New York, Philadelphia and Boston wanted the best meerschaum pipes, and' the trade between Europe and America in this line amounted to hundreds ot thousands ot dollars a vear. About 1S49 a meerschaum craze took possession ot New York and Phila- demhia. and in a milder form soon extended over the entire country. THE MKEKSCHATJM CRAZE.

"Nearly every smoker wanted at least one fine meerschaum, and soma had as many as fifteen or twenty. A significant fact, indio ative that It was fashion and not a love for pipe-smoking that caused the demand, was the disproportionately high price paid for colored meerschaums. Those who bought the finest and most expensive pipes evidently did so with no intention of using them, as they always tried to get one ready colored, and not a few men made a good living by smoking pipes until they attained tbe desired hue. charging large prices for their services. Some ot the dealers took men regularly Into their employ who did nothing but color pipes, and their customers could obtain an article which they could add to their collection In perfect condition, and without any fumigation on their part.

"The best pines bv far come from Vienna. They are cut, not by common workmen, but by skilled carvers and some of tbe best are real works of rrt. The American buyers at first ran to large pipes, ith figures carved on tne stone, but stone. soon stopped this. as it was found that it was Impossible to impart anything like an even color to these.

The pipes with figures raised upon the bowl wero next tbe favorites, and finally those with designs cut In intaglio. This latter was only a temporary craze, and did not extend far from New York, as the intaglio cutting was likely to injurs tbe bowl and to cause daces, ltie aeman i ror meerscuaums con tinued until abo'j" 1886. and many deal ers, myself stuoD-t the number, laid In large "-us. suddenly the demand ceased, the faehlon changing to '-English briar -ooas, and we found that we could not get wnat we paid for our srock, and were l-Lilernd hundreds of pipes at less than one- tenth of what we sold them Tit. The loss en tailed was heavy, and not a few dealers were thrown into bankruptcy by it.

THE TWIST CICAR. In regard to the cigar trade tbe uncer tainty ot the demand for fancy brands Is equally great. 1 can well remember the time when everyone who wanted an expensivecigar called for a These cigars always came in packages of three, twisted together like stranus or a rope ana luvariauiy made or very strone, moist tobacco. They were about as inconvenient articles to smoke as can well be imagined and eeldom or never burned evenly, as tbe twisting made one portion drier man another, isut they were tue tasulon ana If the article sold was only showy and rank enout'Q there was never any complaint, as a rule they were made of very inferior tobacco and the dealers made a great profit upon them. I doubt if you could to-day find 200 twist ci gars in the city of St.

Louis. CHEROOTS AND RATI AILS. "The next rage, and one that has not yet died out in some parts ot the country, was for cheroots. What were called Manilla che roots were sold by ie hundreds of thousands in New York, although when thev reachedjtoat city thev were tardier from irginia than they bad ever been before. People pretended to discover some prucnliarlv delicious flavor in them, although as a matter of fact thev were nothing hut cigars with tbe sharp end cut off.

Then came tbe era of the rat tans, or Virginias, as they were sometimes called. These were about a foot long, with a straw, generally cracked, running through them. The only difference between them and an ordinary cigar was that tbe smoke was hot when It reached the mouUi, and the flavor of the straw was added to that of the tobacco. But the real smokers, those who indulge In tbe weed from the love of It, and not from fashion, never follow false gods, but stick to the staple School for the lilind.

The work or blasting tbe gorge at the Pennsylvania bridge was prosecuted yesterday with much better sac-cess than ou any previous day.

Several men armed with pikes were busy pushing the logs loosened by the blast out into the stream, so that they would float away. Positive orders were issued by the Committee on Sanitation to arrest any person, workman or otherwise, who should be detected throwing anv manner of debris into the river. Everything must be burned. All violators of this order are to be punished severely by order of dictator Scott. Tbe Wrecked Train Passengers.
