SERVICES ARE TO BE HELD
simultaneously at o'clock. At meeting
Of the clergymen invited to the memorial
service, Father Malone said the usage of
his church would not permit him to
officiale in any Of the exercises, bat he
would be only too glad to cooperate, per-
sonally, as far as he could. His own
church had been sadly affected, and he
should hold appropriate services at the
missionary meeting in the Church Of the
Pilgrims. Last night the regular Mission
airy collection was dispensed with and q
collection of S120 taken up to deiray the
expenses of the burial of three sons of Mira.
Rose, members OF the church.

THE SCENE OF THE HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE
In Brooklyn was almost deserted this morn
ing in consequence of the unsafe condition
of the walls That part of Washington street,
| from the post-office to johnson street, was
enclosed by barrier Of rope, guarded by a
Gordon of police, and no pedestrians were
permitted to traverse it. The bitter wind
and driving dust aided the police in the
execution of their duties. Within tie
ruins number OF workmen were engaged
in bracing
THE DANGEROUS WALL,
Al 4 IL
after one O'Clock. Almost the whole inter-
Tor Of the theatre has now been explored.
The vestibule has been cleared out, from
the front entrance 10 the staircase, and this
afternoon heap of rubbish beneath the
staircase will be removed. The parquet.e
has been thoroughly searched, and there
now remains but few parts OF the stage
UNEMPLOYED.
A SAD DISCOVERY
was made this morning. Among the ruins |
OF the stage it was thought that the frag-
ment of the human body found Thursday,
near the corpse of poor Burroughs, was all
that remained of the actor, Murdock. This |
proved not to be the case, for the body of |
Murdoch, or rather part of it, was found |
this morning and clearly identified. 1t ap-
pears that the workmen, engaged in clear
ing the stage yesterday, noticed q strong |
oder processing from heap Of brick, near
the left proscencenium box, and came to |
the conclusion that dead body lay beneath |
it. This morning the bricks were carefully |
removed, and beneath them we're found
parts Of the charred body of mans right
leg. About one-third Of the right side Of
trunk had escaped
TIE FURY OF THE FLAMES.
The head and upper part of the body
were consumed. One of the fremen no
ticed that piece of black velveteen ad-
hered to the knee of the Lex, and this fact
caused the belief that the remains were
those of Murdoch. They were Afterwards
examined by Col. Grelet, Learanie Rogers
and Miss Williams, and we're fully identi-
fed by them a. being those of Murdock.
They not only recognized the velveteen
fragment As . part of the costume of the
cripple pierre" in the 1.-TWO Orphan" but
also the buttons with which the knee
breeches had been fastened.
THE CHARRKD FRAGMENTS
were then removed by the undertaken, who
will preserve them until instructions are
received from the friends of the dead man.
Two women and two men are to-day added
to the already long list Of missing.
THE LAST RITE
At Is minutes before IL the neiehbor-
hood of Schermerhom street and Flatbush
avenue was deserted. No crowds were
waiting to rec the procession, and there
