WHITE BEAR HORROR.
All the Bodies Recovered but One-A Sad
and Mournful Sight.

All the Bodies Recovered but One-A Sad
and Mournful Sight.
To-day, in all probability, will close the
history OF the appalling disaster, which took
place at White Bear Lake on the fifth inst,
in which seven persons lost their lives. The
GLOBE has heretofore given the full partic
ulars of how the accident occurred, and the
verdict of the coroner's jury. 1t is only left
to write the last chapter of the sad story.
OF the seven victims of the catastrophe the
body of one was found in few moments
afterw ards, and four the following day, and
yesterday morning about ten O'Clock the
body of Mrs. James Dore was found, leaving
but one yet to recover, that of little Katie
Cline. The remains of Mrs. Dore were
brought to this city on the noon train yes
terday. The bodies of all we're taken to
the undertaker's room of Messrs. Donnelly
& MCCARTHY on Wabashaw street, where
they were prepared for the grave.
AS soon as the news of the accident reach
ed st. Paul on the afternoon of the 5th, in
| telligence of the sad affair was telegraphed
| to Terre Haute, Ind, the former home of
Mr.. Gibson and family. Yesterday morning
| two kilograms were received in reply. One
came from the father of Mr.. Gibson, saying
| that he, in company with the brother of the
deceased, would leave Immediately for St.
Paul, and requesting that all necessary steps
be taken to care for the remains The father
and brother are expected to arrive this morn
| ing. At the same time the Master of Har-
| rison lodge No. so, A. O. U. W., of which
Mr.. Gibson was member, telegraphed re-
| questing that all proper efforts be made to
recover the bodies,-see that they were taken
| care of and forwarded to Yerre Haute, and
send the bill for all expenses to Harrison
lodge. In the meantime, Mr.. Harry Monk
house, foreman of the st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba railway shops, In which
Mr.. Gibson worked, took charge of the re-
mains. They were all four placed in beau
tiful burial caskets and yesterday afternoon
were removed to the desolated home,
No. 65 De Bow street. A GLOBE reporter
paid a visit to the late home
of the deceased last evening. A more sad
and mournful sight is seldom seen than this
late happy home presented. In the little
parlor we're the remains of the husband and
wife, the last room they were IN when they
left full of life on that fatal Monday morn
ing. Their collins were side by side. In
life they were united and in death they were
not divided. Surrounding their Gfeless re-
mains were the many little tokens of affec-
ton belonging to a happy virtuous home.
Everything in tie surroundings showed the
careful housewife and the provident care OF
the husband and father. But alas! stranger
hands and foreign faces to that little house.
hold occupied the places of the living. Kidd
and sympathizing friends were there, but the
voices of those who would, few hours be-
fore, babe them a glad welcome, were stilled
in death. 1t was sad and touching scene,
and drew tears from many eyes that never
knew the family in life. Gazing upon the
lifeless faces, it was difficult to realize that
they were dead, 90 natural was their appear
ance. Never did death assume so natural
and life-like look. The remains will be
kept to await the arrival of the stricken
father and brother, but it is understood that
they will be taken to Terre Haute for burial.
The remains of Mrs. James Dore and Miss
Nellie Dore were also removed yesterday af-
ternoon to the family residence, and will be
buried this morning from st. Mary's church
at 8 O'Clock, the Rev. Father Daily officiating.
The solemn ceremonies will close one of
the saddest events the GLOBE has ever been
called upon to record, and it sincerely hopes
it will be long before it is called upon again
| to perform SO mournful duty.
