Another of the Missing Bodies Dis
coverea-The Cause OF the Fire--An Inc
quest To Be Commenced To-Day.
The work OF searching for the remaining bodies
in the ruins Of the recent fire at Morrisania was
commenced at an early hour yesterday morning
Finding that an indignant press and public de-
manded moro energetic measures for the recovery
OF the missing bones Acting Captain of Police Rob-
bins by the advice of Coroner Miller, had put
force OF laborers to work digging out
the debris on the preceding evening. This
task was continued yesterday and resulted
in the discovery OF another Of the missing bodies,
or rather lew charred bones which IN quantity
would scarcely I'll a quart measure. They were
examined, however, by Deputy Coroner Joyce,
who pronounced them to be those OF child about
ten years OLD. While making an examination OF
the supposed remnants OF humanity which had
previously been taken out OF the ruins Dr. Joyce
found the skull and other bones OF dog. together
with pieces OF ham and bacon. Having separated
these from the human relics, he was enabled TO
make out two infant skeletons, which, with the
bones subsequently brought in, complete the num-

day on an inquest, he was unable 10 do more than
empanel jury touching the death OF Mary Burns
and her children, the investigation OF which Is en-
nounced to be commenced this morning at the
IhirCY-tblrd Precinct station house.
There Is no doubt That the fire was OF incendiary
origin, and the inhabitants OF the negnborhood
make no secret OF their suspicious as to who ap-
pied the torch. 1t Is u noticeable fact that Hot
tenrotn, the sadder, who kept little store on the
ground floor of one Of the burned buildings, has not
since been seen IN the vicinity by the police or
any Orher persons. Yesterday j. W. Dykman, in.
