IDENTIFYING THE REMAINS.
SAN FRANclsco, Jan. ga Los Angeles
dispatch says; Yesterday morning DR.. Ross
commenced the work of carefully examin-
ing, for the first time, the bodies which had
been picked up in the wreck. The word
"bodies" is here used to signify portions OF
the human form, in many instances a
handful of whitened bits of bones being all
that remained of what had been human
form. DR.. Ross made the following discov-
cry. Some OF the boxes in which were
placed what was supposed TO be human
remains contained the charred and
cooked flesh either of beef or
mutton. Alter careful examination
he concluded that six OF the boxes possibly
contained no human remains, and of one
more they were in such doubt about it that
he and DR.. Krutz this evening made exam
ination Of all supposed human remains,
WhlNh lNouitSu ih piOhOuhsiuE husoiuttly
that seven more were not Of human flesh.
The duplicate chart of passengers shows
that every one who took passage has been
accounted for. Four bodies, Charles X.
Pieison, Wright, Porter and two men
named Ferdinand Brumford and
Thomas Keegan, exsodiers, were
killed without any disfguration
and hence readily identified. The remains
of Colonel Larrabee are being positively
identified. AS has been stated the re-
mains of NJ II. Squires and Mrs. Downey,
and Lawrence, porter of the through
sleeper, have been identified. Enough has
been brought to light to identify the re-
mains OF l.. Webeeret, those of II. A. Oil.
OF Mr.. Sichlinghyde, who boarded the
number of dead accounted for
twelve. Two bodies still re.
main unrecognized. Clues for Identification
are so slight that 1t is possible they will
never be Known. Some remains may have
been those OF tramps stealing a ride. AT
all events, every passenger on the chart of
the sleepers have been accounted for rs liy-
ing or dead. 1t is supposed that the bodies
OF seven persons lave been pronounced
burned flesh and the bones OF non.human
animals and what strengthens the position
of the medical experts Is the fact an
nounced that 10 human bodies were taken
from the ruins OF the express and baggage
cars.

THE INQUEST.

| Blocker, manager of the Tom Thumb com
pany, who escaped from the burning build
| ing. lie sent In written deposition, which,
however, threw no light on the cause of the
| fire or the condition of the building, Land
| lord Antidell took the stand, but could give
no explanation of the cause, but that the
| fire was the work of an incendiary, When
he was aroused II had got such headway
that all he could do was to save himself and
! family; when the later was safe he wanted
/ to return into the building, but was pre-
vented by his sons; he noticed very strong
smell of gas and an unbearable heat; thi.
