in at the nostrils, but the most horrible
scene occurred when the surroundings had
been almost removed, which was done by
two strong stomached workmen with their
! hands, and an attempt was made to re-
move the body. It loosened at all the
joints and fell to pieces, exhibiting
HALF COOKED sHREDs OF HUMAN FLESH,
that made faint the strongest heart. The
scared joints Of the skull separated, and
with this the brain was exposed.
The hideous sight caused the hard
| ened workmen to recoil and
r1n away from sheer sickness and terror
The curious lockers on fell back. and it was
with difficulty that the men were induced
toreturn and remove the remains to pine
box, in which receptacle they were carried
to the morgue by the police patrol. The
grinning mouth with the upper teeth
white and glisteniUg in awful death de-
noted the person quite young in years,
while the shriveled white breast proved
concIusiyeIy the remains to be male, but
nothing existed which rendered possible
Identification. The crowd closed in on
the officers carrying the box when it was
being taken OF and the excitement was in
tense. The scenes were
MAD AND WILD.
When the heated humans were beaten
back by the very clubs of the officers, sew
eral pieces, at least half a dozen, which
were beyond doubt once human, were
found and taken to the morgue. A police
man suddenly; shouted. ''See that man
walking on the dead" and sure enough an
old fellow, whose face was hidden in
mass of gray hair, was standing on the
left foot of a human being which had been
exumed and laid on slab. He removed
himself as tear came to his eye, and fall
teringly said he would not have stepped
on it for his life. All who walk over the
ruins
TREAD ABOVE PERFECT MAUSELOEUM.
The third body, unknown, was found near
the entrance to the hotel on Broadway at
few minutes after o'clock this afternoon.
The loss of life is simply appalling.
Ben Tice, the head. clerk, and the night
clerk know of about 10 boarders and
guests lodged by the house on the fatal
night, and the house also contained at least
seyenty-fve employees, total of 1876. Of
these, sixty seven, not including the Ants
del family and the head clerk, are known
to be safe. This leaves the number of
dead and missing at
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN,
a human loss so extensive and shocking as
to be absolutely beyond comprehension.
The nurse in attendance on John Gil
bert, at the PIankinton house, reports his
patient as having passed a restless night.
His condition was not SO favorable this
as on yesterday, and his physi-
clans and friends are considerably alarmed
about him. It will be almost miracle if
he eventually RECEIVERS.
W. E. Wiley, of Detroit, is a new name
among the missing, and he is undoubtedly
lost. He was formerly the Michigan pas
senger agent of the Michigan Central, at
Detroit, and came to Milwaukee on Tues
day last with W. R. Busenbark to open
a Milwaukee Office for the same line.
James H. Earnest, of Shullsburg, Lafay-
cite county, whose name appears among
the missing, was well-known prominent
Democratic politician in southwestern
where he was engaged in min
ing and farming. He was native of
Kentucky, where he was born in 1919, be-
ing in his sixty-fourth year. He came to
Wisconsin in 1886, and for time resided
in Milwaukee. He represented his county
in the legislature at various times, being
a member of the senate in 1868. He was
man of genial social qualities, generous
impulses, and prominent Mason.

ordered by all the leading papers in the
United States, many of them taking from
