were now and then dragged out whose identity
cannot fail to be established by careful scruti-
ny, but this was rare. The large majority will
find cue common grave identified by unknown
dead.'
Most of the persons who lost their lives were
those who had been seated in the galleries.
The pile of corpses was found underneath
where the stairs descended to the lobby. When
these persons landed on the floor they must
have met cross-current of people passing out
out from the first floor. Some were evidently
thrown down and were unable to rise from the
weight of those trampling upon them. Nine
tenths of them or more, doubtless sutfocated
before the fire reached them. They were gen.
orally found with arms over their heads as if
andeavoring to assist themselves in preventing
suffocation. More than three fourths of the
bodies taken out are those OF young men. Only
small proportion of them ale females.
One of the shocking scenes this morning was
witnessed by a large number of people who
crowded in front of the theatre. 1t was equal
in horror to that witnessed in the main lobby
during the removal OF the charred remains.
Down in the basement, or subcellar, were
huddled together number of human bodies,
almost Nnrecognizable as such, but for the
limbs and joints which protruded from the
sckening mass. The glass bordering the out
side of the front stoop of the entrance to the
theatre was broken. The water from the floor
above was dripping upon the remains, and the
beams and rafters lay in confused masses
among the bodies.
