apolis are fast being overhauled, in the search
for the bodies of the men not yet obtained
The interest has began to subside and yester-
day but few persons, in comparison to the
large number present ON Sunday, visited the
scene Of the great explosion.
The search for bodies still goes on, and yester-
day still larger force Of men were at work.
The smoke has so far abated, and the stone
cooled as to permit of the search being con-
tinued with little difficulty.
The funeral of the recognized and unrecog-
nized bodies will, probably, not take place till
the latter part Of the week. Nearly every. To-
cality in the city has lost or more men,
bers, and if, as it is hoped will be the case,
THE FUNERAL SERVICES
are held jointly, the procession will be the larg-
est and most imposing ever witnessed in Min
neapolis or even in the State.
The finding of the body of Patrick Judd, on
Sunday, was an eventful episode, and the
marked feature of Sundays explorations.
From all appearances Of the remains, MIR. Judd
was, at the time of the explosion, changing
his clothes preparatory for his nights work.
His lantern was found uninjured, also was
the dinner pail of Fred Merrill. Mrs. Judd
was brought down to the remains for the pur-
pose of further identifying them. The shock
was so severe that temporary insanity followed,
and it required the united Efforts of four men
to get her into the carriage. Last night she
feeling somewhat better, however, although
still suffering greatly. The body of Mr..
Judd was turned over to friends
yesterday. The funeral services
occurred during the forenoon, and the remains
were buried in the Catholic cemetery on the
East Side Mrs. Judd has been left in almost
destitute circumstances, and those having the
matter in hand should see that she has asss-
lance at once.
DISPOsING OF OTHER BODIES.
The body of John Boyler was shipped to his
home in Indiana Oh Tuesday evening. The
body of WILDER was started on the journey to
Vermont last evening.
The coroner is still unsettled in his mind
about the proper p occedings in tbs matter of the
inquest. He thinks, however, that it is best
to defer the matter till further information as
to the causes which might have produced the
explosion are obtained. aud more bodies
covered.
BOARD OF TRADE PROCEEDINGS.
At the meeting of the board of trade held
yesterday moninis a portion of the time was
occupied by reading communications received
in relation to the disaster.
EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY.
The following from John W. Bond. secre-
tary Of the board of immigration, expresses
much sympathy:
ST.. PAUL, May 5, 1873.
@. G. sturtevant, Esq, Secretary Of the Board
DEAR SIR:-Encloscd please find a letter from
John Esaias Warren, ESQ, formerly mayor of
this ci,y, in regard to the great disaster which
has befallen your beautiful city. Thinking
that you might like to hear sach expressions
of sympathy, l forward it. MIR. Warren has
been writing series of some twenty letters to
the Chicago and Eastern papers from various
points within the State You have, doubtless,
noticed some of them.
am glad to know the blow your city has
sustained has in no wise daunted the hearts of
your people. ] expect to see Minneapolis come
out of this fiery ordeal with renewed hope faith
and courage. Nothing can stop the onward
career Of u city whose people are united in the
common purpose to make it the pride and the
emporium of this great Northwest:
Wishing your people unbounded prosperity,
and that the dark cloud which has lowered over
you for the past few days may be speedily
lifted, l am: sir, very truly yours,
JOHN W. BOND.
A CHICAGO LETTER.
CHICAGO. May 2, 1S78.-MY DEAR Mr. BOND:
thank you for your immigration pamphlet
which is a most admirable document in all re-
spects, and l very much wish that you would
send me several copies, in which case propose
to make good use of them. l have just heard
with great pain of the calamity at Minneapo-
lis. Severe this is. it must not be permitted
to injurc the State. Calamities come to all in
some shape, to States as we'll as to individuals.
and while We should not make light Of them
or seek to diminish their import, yet they
should not be allowed to discourage, but rath-
er to stimulate us to greater activity. Min
neapolis has my profoundest sympathies,
but doubt not that she will soon recover
from this disaster, and that it will in no wise
check her wonderful energy and progressive
ness. Nothing put back the onward tide
of Minneapolis prosperity. She is now the
right track and will keep there in spite of every
vicissitude l feel confident of this. Misfor-
tunes are often blessings in disguise. Even
the grasshopper plague, discouraging as it was
for q time, Will work no permanent evil to
Minnesota. On the contrary, in some respects
ii will prove an ultimate benefit by timulating
farmers to variegate their crops and to practice
habits of saving and economy. really think
that the gain will be quite equal to the loss.
The grasshoppers were only the forerunners
Of the greatest immigration that Minnesota has
ever known, and as l believe the forerunnera
and prophets Of its greatest prosperity. While
l thus write, I am not disposed to underrate
the magnitude of the calamity which has just
befallen your sister city. But it will pass, and
Minnesota will move on, and Minneapolis will
rapidly recover, and in no sense be permanently
cast down.
Although I NAV live in other States, my
heart is now, as it always has been, in Mime
sofa, and I never can feel toward any other
State as I feel towards her. In her misfortunes
deeply sympathize, and in her prosperity
shall always rejoice.
With most kindly remembrances I remain
most truly yours J. EsA1As WARREN,
10S Dearborn St.
RELIEF MEASURES.
President Washburn stated that he had but
Just arrived home and had matters of great i'm.
portance demanding his personal attention
but that above all personal considerations in
his opinion was the relief of those who hac
been hereft of support and protection by thu
late catastrophe, and he attended this meeting
mainly for the purpose Of urging some pla1
that would accomplish full that end. He be
Eieved the members of the board would be re
creant to duty and false to themselves if they
did not take the matter in hand at once, anc
enter upon some we'll directed plan for raising
sufficient fund for the relief of those un
fortunates who had been deprived of those
upon whom they leaned for support. It wal
moro than question of Christianity and hu.
uanitarianism. 1t is time for our citizens tt
respond generously, and create q feeling O
good will between employer and employed
which could not be obliterated. Representa-
tiyes of the bone and sinew, the pride ane
in the flames, and they we're beyond any goot
Offices that could be bestowed, but they hai
left widows, orphans, and other dependents
which must be well cared for by our citizens
He hoped this board would not adjourn with
ont taking action in this matter.
