MILWAUKEE,, Jan. 13.-The search in the
ruins of the Newhall house this forenoon
resulted in finding three bodies, all burned
beyond Identification, making eight bodies
found in the ruins so far. There is not
he slightest superstition who the bodies
are. All the remains found so far were
discovered near the excavations started
from the main entrance on Broadway. 1t
is supposed that burned humanity will be
found near the area back of the Office.
GALL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SEARCH THE RUINS.
A meeting was held at the chamber of
commerce at noon to-day. A call was is
sued for volunteers. It is expected 500
men will respond. The. gold watches of
Howie and Martelle have been identified,
leaving no doubt that the owners persisted.
One other gold hunting case watch was
found, on one side the picture of schoon-
err, on the other side that of fish. The
movement was marked ''R. & G. Beagley,
Liverpool, England"
EIGHT MORE BODIES FOUND.
In the course of the afternoons work at
the Newhall house ruins eight little heaps
of charred flesh and bones were found.
Supposing that these represent so many
bodies taken out, this makes sixteen ex-
humed bodies.
ANOTHER DEATH.
Lizzie Augland, dining room girl, died
this afternoon from injuries received by
jumping from the sixth-story window.
Thus far the identified dead are thirty mine.
| Dan. zimmerman, bell boy, is an additional
| missing one. Thos. CIeary and Patrick
Conroy, bell boys, have turned up safe.
Taking the chief clerks statement of ITO
guests and 81 employees as correct, there
| must be 43 bodies yet in the ruins. Ninety
five are known to have been saved; % are
identified dead, and 16 charred bodies be-
| yond Identification, making a
TOTAL LOSS OF LIFE
as near as can be figured, at 80. The OK
cavations are now about twenty five feet
from the Broadway front. Until the
main hall location was reached the re-
mains of four people were found. As
the occupants of the hotel would
| naturally leave the rooms and rush for the
corridors, it is anticipated that the worst
features of the fire will not be reached un-
til the excavation has proceeded fifteen
feet farther. 1t is predicted that the open
ing up of the court in the center will reveal
LARGE NUMBER OF BODIES.
| AS the inmates of the rooms thereon would
be forced by the flames to jump from the
windows, it is hoped they may be in
condition to be recognized. The serv-
ants quarters in the Newhall wera
on the fifth floor, and ranged along all
sides of the building from point about
twenty feet north of Michigan street, to a
point about twenty feet south of the north
end of the building, and the rooms were
built along the hall which run north and
south, and at each end were totally sepa-
rated from the guests apartments by
heavy doors. The girls themselves say
that the first they knew of the
| fire was when the engineer ran up and
| yelled for them to wake up and run out
and follow him and not wait to dress. He
says the hall swarmed full of maids and he
thought they were coming, consequently
made his way down, only to find that but
one was behind him. 1t appears that the
rushing air, the moment Engineer Line
han and one girl got through the separat-
ing doors, closed them with bang and
that they never opened again. This also
prevented the heat and smoke from
entering their quarters so that those
who did not escape met death with
full realization of what was upon them
and were not half dead from suffocation.
THE SCENE ON THE SERVANTS FLOOR.
Mary McCauley, who lies at the Axtell
house in bad nervous condition, and was
carried out in a faint by Fireman Strauss,
says: 81 was awakened by the shouts and
screams of others and ran into
the hall. It was full of girls rushing
wildly up and down, crying and
screaming. I rushed to the end OF hall,
peeped through the door, and saw that
everything was smoke and fire outsi de. I
then ran back and passing through room
where seven girls had taken refuge, joined
