MILWAUKEE, Jan. 12.-Five of the vic
tims of the Newhan house fire were con
signed to their last resting place to-day
Three were buried from st. Johns ca.
thedreI this forenoon, another this after
noon and Maggie Sullivan's funeral took
place on the West side at late hour this
afternoon. There were sad scenes in and
around the cathedral this morning du-
ring the funeral ceremonies. At o'clock
the remains Of D. G. Powers, the invent
or; Miss Bessie Brown, and Miss Lama
han were conveyed to the cathedral and
placed on biers in the center aisles in
front of the altar. The three hearses and
long string Of carriages drew
up in font of and near the cathedral.
Long before 10 o'clock the building was
crowded with people, many attracted no
doubt by idle curiosity. The seats on both
sides of the aIsles were reserved for rela-
ti7es and friends Of the deceased, the pail
bearers occupying those nearest the chan
Gel rail. There were
MANY HEARr-REND-NG soBs
during the imposing ceremonies. Many
people in the audience wept bitterly dur
ing mass. Many of the relatives of the
unfortunates seemed to be almost prostrat-
ed with grief. The orphans from Stress
asylum were present in body. Many
people who were present andi re-
membered the memorial services at the
time of the loss of the Lady Elgin, said
the services to-day reminded them very
forcibly of those held on that awful occur
renee.
THE WORK ON THE RUINS.
was again commenced this forenoon, but
with a force of men somewhat smaller
than that of yesterday. This seems queer.
The number should be increased instead of
diminished. Interest is clearly waning
and the solid columns of
people which surrounded the
place yesterday are much shattered
and depleted to-day. OF course the
colder weather has something to do with
this The heaps of rubbish are fast grow
ing and begin to tower so high that the
workmen are hemmed in and cut off from
the gaze of the curious. About midnight
last night
THE FLAMES BURST OUT AFREsH
in two or three places at the center and
northwest corner. The fireman were called
out and remained on duty until noon to-
day, throwing volumes Of water into the
smoking ruins. At the northeast corner
the workmen have arrived at the bottom
of the basement and are working in warm
water knee deep. The portion of the
first body was found at 1870 o'clock by
Capt. O'Connor. He was standing
over the quarter occupied by the Manu-
facturers' bank, about fifteen feet from
the corner of Michigan street, and noticed
a workman shoveling rudely about queer
shaped mass. Descending so as to be
nearer he scratched the cinders carefully
away and tenderly pulled out
AFRAGMENT A OF HUMAN BODY. 20 -sssT
1t was carried and placed in small pine
dry goods box, which was soon surrounded
by all who had entrance within the cor
dons. 1t is apparently portion of the
shoulders attached to the spinal column,
which extends below the remains for about
five inches. The whole is about fourteen
inches in length and has an appearance
which is far beyond any shape of rec
ognition. SIT is part of Opoor
Miss Chsllis," sadly remarked w. T.
Durand. "This is just where she fell,
and am as sure as can be that it is her,"
All who were present at the awful fire Iand
saw Miss Chilis' position reiterate the
above, and it seems to be beyond reason
able doubt. The news that body had
been found soon spread over the lower
portion of the city and the few in attend
ance at the ruins were
REINFORCED By MULTITUDEs,
until thousands surrounded the place and
interest attained the pitch of yesterday.
1t is expected that the remains of Capt.
Voce will soon be unearthed as he fell not
far from Miss Chilis. Shortly after the
finding of the remains thought to be those
eff Miss Chillis single word conveyed the
startling information that another
and more complete body was
being exhumed at the north end near
Broadway. The blackened corpse, sphinx
like and rigid. faced the north and from
the neck down the body stood straight,
the arms extended east and west and were
BURNED OFF AT THE WRISTS!
The head laid back and the whole sug-
gested that the person had been standing
when the walls fell, had started to throw
up his arms when the hot bricks rained
