That stranger who left No. 215 Second avenue
SOUTH on Thursday last, who started towards
the mills and was presumed to have persisted,
turned up all right yesterday. He fortunately
escaped uninjured, but was within a block of
the scene at the time Of the explosion. Meeting
a friend at the fire he went home with him,

Zenith mill found piece of mans leg the
clothing all torn off and burned black. That is
without doubt all that remains of John E.
hosslennus, who was the only man killed
In that structure. At about four o'clock
men at work about the ruins of the Humboldt
mill found handful of bones. The bones were
probably the remains of Peter Holberg, who
was the only man in that mill when the explo-
sion occurred. A portion of the remains of
another man was to be seen in the ruins Of the
Dig mill at late hour yesterday afternoon, but
the heat was so intense the body could not be
reached. The remains of bodies recovered
still remain at the undertaker's rooms and
no provisions for their disposal has vet been
made Probably the coroner's inquest will
commence on Monday, or it may be delayed
tai tuesday, for the purpose of allowing fur
ther search to be made, and also to enable the
relatives to identify the remains.
THE SECRET SOCIETIES
were in session last night, for the purpose of
taking some action in regard to the funeral
services and assistance of families affected by
the disaster.
During the search for bodies silver watch
was found in the Humboldt mill ruins and
was taken to police headquarters where it ma,
be seen.

Intervie,v arith C.. G.. Wnshbnyn.

AS had been expected Hon. G. G. Washburn
appeared in the city yesterday morning, and
the reporter Immediately hunted him up for
the purpose of interviewing him upon the
question of rebuilding. He was down at the
ruins when found and gives the following state
ment: He says the Washburn ''A'' mill cost,
with the land upon which it stood $350,0O0.
The lot alone he said worth $50, 900. The
total loss on mill and machinery he set down
at 1920, OO0. If the wheels and pits are all
right the loss will probably be reduced to
5000 900. The insurance upon the property
was $175,5O0. About 100000 Of this amount
was written by Chicago agencies.
REBUILDING BIG MILL.
Mr.. Wasburn says the big mill will be
rebuilt without delay. The running capacity
will be equal to if not greater than before. The
new structure will not, however, be built so
high, but will be great improvement upon
the old. Probably different system Of manu-
featuring fonr will be adopted, i. using
more hand labor and less machinery.
During the meantime the B mill will be
completed and enlarged to forty run of stone,
equal in capacity to the A mill.
In reference to the elevator he said the struc-
ture cost $50, 900, and had capacity of 300, 600
bushels, of which loo, 900 was allotted to the
various millers, and 100000 reserved for stor.
age purposes.
AS an investment it had never paid, but if
the millers really desired it he would rebuild,
with a capacity equal to the one destroyed.

All of the mills are to be rebuilt and on

Theories of various characters are still circu-
lated and no one seems to know positively,
lust exactly the cause and probably never
will. The dust theory seems to predominant
Mr. J. A. Christian thinks the gas was gener-
ated by fire.
It is his opinion that the fire originated from
the stones in the cast grinding room. The mill
was about changing off, and the stones are at
such times permitted to run dry, the mlllers
raising the stones as soon as the wheat IN the
hoppers is exhausted. 1t is presumed that
some one of the millers, through carelessness,
neglected to raise the stones in his charge, that
friction was generated which communicated to
the dust box, the draft from which
is downward. similar fire occurred
in the dust box on the other side
of the mill some two months ago. The draft
from that box is up, and not down, as in the
case of the box on the east side, and IN ex-
plosion of the box itself would not have been
sufficient to create the disaster which followed.
But it is the theory of Mr.. Christian that the
gas was drawn downward; that from the lower
floors it passed through the numerous elevator
ways and openings in all parts of the mill,
filled the great structure, was perhaps rarifcd
by the heat of the fire, and which was finally
ignited, the explosion following. It it his be-
lief that the mill was shut down as had been
provided for in the rules which prevailed when
the explosion occurred. The night being cold
the windows were closed and the gas was unable
to escape through the natural openings.

All day Yesterday the scene OF the terrible
disaster of the I'd instant was an object or IN
terest to all citizens and very many tramps VINO
have arrived from all parts of the country
drawn hthcr by the news spread broadcast by
the GLOBE and telegraph. All that now re-
mains of the once proud milling interest, which
had a name famous the world over, Is huge
condemnation of stone, wheat, Hour, bran,
broken and twisted machinery, lumber and
mill stones, thrown together in the widest con-
fusion, Numerous streams Of water have been
kept constantly playing upon the fire since
Thursday night. The center of the mass still
contains considerable fire, and IS far
too hot to permit a search for the bodies of the
missing men, There no doubts that
at least ten men are under q pile of stone
rubbish piled to the height of a dozen feet.
large number of men have been engaged IN
searching about the outer edges of the pile OF
rock but with llLtle 6uCCtss. ~ 10 eAo" ''AA>A
laborious undertaking to remove the
immense pile of massive rock,
thrown in such confusion by the
explosion of the big Washburn mill. One
force of men is engaged in removing the
debris in the vicinity of the Office of the big
mill, for the purpose Of securing the safe con-
tanning the papers of the company Other
crews are removing the shorts, bran, and wheat
in sacks.
Crowds upon crowds Of people are constant
ly coming and going, and yet the
interest remains undated. Every train
brings new delegations, who hurry from the
depots to the scene of the disaster as though
their very lives depended upon getting there
in the quickest possible time.

found the one owned by Petit Robinson & Co

Its laws are unjust, and its prac

People never need suffer from any disease arising
