GrOping Among Ashes and Rubbish for
Dead Bodies.
CHICAGO, Jan. IA Milwaukee special
this morning, says the effect Of the recent
calamity on the buslres of the city ID
proved by the fact that yesterday not sin
gle bushel of wheat or other grain was
withdrawn from elevators during the day.
Business In all branches was the lightest
known for years.
G d. Mash, prominent merchant, says
the hotel company will probably rebuild,
but when they did so it would be with IL G
expenditure of half q million dollars In
order TO secure thoroughly fire-eseape
hotel. Nothing short of that could tempt
guests to sleep over the haunting memories
OF the Vanished Newhall House.
careful computation OF the pecuniary
loses shows the figures TO be lower than was
at first estimated. The loss on the building
is Sl25, 900; hotel furniture, $50 900 per-
sonal effects of guests, S50, 900: damage to
adjoining establishments, $4,000; and 70
firms occupying hotel building, S35.O00;
making total of $500, 600.
TEARING DOWN THE WALLS.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. l2.--Thc work of do.
molishng the walls aud clearing away the
ruins was resumedaAt O'Clock this morn
ing by l5O men under the command ofGap.
tain o'Conuor For the Grst two hours few
discoveries were made, but II is believed the
bulk of the bodies will be found under the
southern and western walls, which have not
been touched. 1t Was In this corner of the
building that the servants and others
Hooked and were carried down by the fall
ing roof.
The realization forces itself upon the
people that the hotel was not sufficiently
watched, there being but one man to act as
night Waterman, elevator and bell boy and
general utility man.
ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ia dispatch re-
ceiVed here this afternoon, 10y relatives,
leaves no doubt that Quintus G. Brown,
whose name appears among the missing at
the Milwaukee fire, is among the
dead, although his body has not
been recovered. Mr.. Brown was for
many years, up to very recent
date, manager of Woods Theatre, and also
OF the Eighth Street Theatre in this city.
He took the road week since, as part pro.
prieiur of the Claire-Sc Combination. lie
was highly popular among the theatrical
profession.

how then 7 So it is with cloth

so. Ifyou have any idea Of
making a purchase bear in

but have made such reductions

CHINESE PoIsoSs The commonest pois.
ons are said to be opium, arsenic and GER
tain noxious essences derived from herbs.
But besides these other things are taken by
suicides and given by murderers to cause
death. In some Of the Southern provinces
there exists particular kind Of silk-worm
known as the Golden Silkworm, which is
reared by miscreants to serve either pur.
pose as occasion may require. Quicksilver,
which is also used with fatal effect, is
either swallowed, or, like the Juice of
cursed hebenon" which sent Hamlet's father
to his account, is poured into the ear. The
torture necessarily consequent on this last
method of using it must be so excessive
that it may safely be assumed that it finds
favor only with murderers. Swallowing
gold, on the other hand, seems to be the
favorite way OF seeking death with wealthy
suicides. 1t has been held by some writers
that the expression swallowing gold" is
but metaphorical phrase meaning "swal.
lowing poison, just as when notable Gull
| prit is ordered to strangle himself he is said
to have had "a silken cord" sent to him.
But the "Coroners' Manual puts it be-
yond question that gold is actually swal.
lowed, and itlprescribes the remedies which
should be adopted to effect cure. Gold
MOI being a poison, death is the result
either of suffocation or laceration of the
intestines. When suffocation is imminent,
draughts Of strained rice.water, we are
told, should be given to wash the gold
downward, and when this object has been
attained, the flesh of partridges, among
other things, should be eaten by the patient
to " soften the gold" and thus prevent its
doing injury. Silver is also taken in the
same way. But though wealthy Cinnamon
thus find pleasure in seeking extinction
by means of the precious metals, they have
never gone the length of pounding diamonds
to get rid of either themselves or their en-
emies after the manner of Indian potentates.
