said he came from New York.
The Coroner at this point, half-past two O'Clock,
said that IL would be imperative upon him to ad-
journ this inquest until some other day, as the
witnesses whom they expected to identity the
bodies had not all done so yet, and one or the
Jurors would have to absent himseii IN order 10
attend a meeting. The inquest was therefore
adjourned until one O'Clock p. N. to-day.
