ST. LOUIS DISASTER.
Work of Clearing Away the
Debris Going On.
The Death Roll Cannot Yet be
Made Up.

ST. LOUIS, April 13.-The work OF
searching for the bodies OF the missing
commenced. this morning in earnest.
The force is large, and the debris is cool
enough to admit Of being cleared away.
OF the two hundred employees tifty-four
were still missing at O'Clock this morn
ing. The hotel register for the day OF
the fire is burned so that no accurate
list of the missing guests can be made
up. The search OF the ruins must alone
be depended upon for the awful revela-
ton of the number Of the dead.
The finding of the dead body of an in
fant indicates that both its parents per-
ished, as no mention has been made Of
the loss of child of that age.
The workmen are turning the debris
over from the bottom. The hotel occu.
pied full block, and it will be impossi-
bic to complete the search in less than a
week or ten days.
Hon. j. Criltenden, Member OF Con-
gress from Missouri, who was reported
lost, is safe, having left for his home on
the night of the fire. " Hs
No bodies have yet been found. The
search is progressing just underneath
the rotunda, which was the lying
point for q number of the terror-stricken n
inmates, and it is expected some bodies
will be found there. Several interior
walls which were uns afe have been
pulled down and will be leveled so that
men can work all over the ruins without
danger.
