SAD SABBATH
The Sabbath has seen no cessation of
interest in the great disaster, the wild grief
of yesterday giving place to settled sad
ness to-day. Early morning at the mill
found its walls still dripping, the same
CHASTITY ruin telling its woiul tale With
the night came rest, and in the morning
the chaos of report had given place to a
creditabc statement founded on fact. A
survey and personal inspection of the
ruins showed the confusion indeed in
which the fire left everything, and dissipa-
ted the idea that the doors were locked. he
cause there were no locks to be seen. Brol.
en- mules and machinery lay everywhere in
hapless disorder. Fallen floors, betting.
scorched and torn cotton and the rust on
all the machinery marked the path of the
flame. The ruins were carefully gone over
duriug the night, but the seekers found not
what they sought, and as some dazed moth
er came to hunt for tidings of a missing
child, the search was renewed but without
success.
The bodies that remained unidentified on
saturday were removed from the Pleasant
street mission chapel to the central police
station. This afternoon they were taken
to North cemetery and buried without any
ceremony but Il prayer. The bodies were
six in number, two very small children
(sex unknown), two full grown women,
boy of about ten years, and girl Of thir-
teen. OF those that were encoilined and
removed from the mission chapel to their
homes almost all were buried to-day.

Haley, Thomas Keavney, Margaret IIar-
rington, Mary A, lIealey, Bridget, Katie
and Margaret Murphy and Annie Sullivan

naming victims will be inferred tomorrow.
