John Watson was very poorly yesterday; his IN.
Juries having produced fever which increased his
sufIerlngs. He complained also OF great pain In
his back. In tine same ward Thomas Conch, q

terday morning from building in Eighth street. on
which he was working, and he was taken to

This closes the record OF the explosion patients
| now remaining in Bellevue Hospital, and which
number altogether twenty nine. Great complaint
has been raised at the Incorrect lists published by
the different papers, morning and evening. The
HERALD claims TO have had from the beginning as
correct list OF the killed and wounded 1t was
possible to obtain from any source, and any one
VINO has tried to obtain this information must know
very well how utterly Impossible it was aud still is
! to acquire it. The HERALD reporters copied the
lists OF dead from
| THE CoROSER's PERMITS,
and IN the absence OF the Coroner, from the slips
containing the names ages and ueSCrlptlOQS or the
b dies recognized and given by friends. They also
conied from tie entry books In the ONCE OF Bellevue
Hospital and from the cards at the beds or the suf
ferers, and, to crown all, got the Names ages, occu
patons and such other Information information as could be
energy and labor the HERALD did not present cor
rect accounts 1t certainly was not Its representa-
t1yes fault. few illustrations Will serve to show
how absurd 1t Is TO expect even now correct list Of
the killed and wounded by this terrible disaster.
We present In another column as complete and cor.
rect list as can be made out; but we venture to
say That this Is not as true complete as 1t

tries were copied gives the names OF nlty-four per-
sons and i've unknown admitted Oh Sunday and

terday. we also showed yesterday how the cOlOred
man, Charles Stotts, was claimed to have died in
two wards OF the hospital. George II. Korn appears
as two persons, under the names OF Henry
Korn and George Kahn. Christina Auch ap-
pears also under THIS name and as Christian Auch.
Joseph X. Uhlman also 0ppears as two persons by

Higgins, and SO 1t goes to the end OF the chapter.
The Fredho1 and Esasser and Philips and other
children multiplied two or three fold and appear
as Killed and wounded. Any one will readily per.
ceive how totally impossible was, In the hurry Of
copying names from SO many lists and spelled so
differently, to comprehend that Emily Caymut and
Emilia Grennette, for instance, were one and the
same person. IT, after these Illustrations, there are
vet any among the readers OF the HERALD who think
