humjng the bodies Of those who perished
in the Newhall house holocaust continued
from an early hour to-day. A cold and
cutting northeasterly wind prevails, keep
ing back the crowd and giving the work
men a chance for unhindered labor. But
the work of 120 men was carried on with
out system, and very little was accom-
plished. Shortly after 10 o'clock the

we're found at the north end of the Broad
way front of the hotel, the first and only
body found up till noon. 1t was charred
beyond recognition, the flesh actually

without tearing Off the flesh. From the
location of the body it is thought to be
the remains of Miss Lilly Chellis, head
dressmaker Of Z. A. Chapman, who was
seen at the window of the sixth story
shortly before the Broadway wall fell. The
remains were fairly imbedded in brick.
News of the body taken to the morgue
spread like wild fire, and thousands of peo-
pie are now on the scene. Much indigna-
tion is manifested at the bungling way
the work is carried on, and at the INSULT
cent force. The action of the council
caused such general condemnation and
threatening that another meeting is called
for the afternoon to employ larger force
and get electric appliances for work at
night.
ANOTHER DEATH.
W. A. Hall, of Laporte, Ind, partner of
Mr.. Weber, in the milling business, died
this morning at DR.. Bartlett's
Office. He made jump from
the fifth story window, and broke
both legs, the bones protruding through
the flesh. His whereabouts only became
known late last night.
Five bodies were buried this morning:
D. G. Powers, Mary Conroy, Bessie Brown
and Annie Linehan, from ST. Johns
cathedral, and Maggie Sullivan from st.
Calls. The attendance of people at the
impressive funeral services was very large.
Shortly after noon two more bodies
charred beyond all Identification, and part
of a human trunk were found. 1t is now
settled beyond peradventure that the loss
of life is not less than seventy. In addi-
tion to the bodies two coats were found.
In the pockets Of one is a letter and paper
addressed to VIM. D. Rowell, of Freeport,
III. Roweu escaped without his clothing.
A gentlemen who met Mr.. Rowell in Free
port yesterday was seen this morning.
There was nothing to tell to whom the
other coat belonged.
In the southwest corner of the ruins was
found the photograph of young, smooth
full faced man, apparently about five feet
ten inches high, and weighing perhaps 175
pounds. On the back of the picture was
written the name of Mrs. E. Leland. The
photograph was taken in New York. A
memorandum book and la rye bundle of
business papers were also unearthed
Workmen have now dug in about sixteen
feet from the sidewalk. Some are stand
ing in water foot deep, and consequently
can make little headway.s After to-day they
can get along much faster for the reason
that the debris may be thrown into the hole
now being made.
The coroner has called an inquest for
tomorrow. The district attorney will con-
duct the examination.
John Gilbert, the actor, is still uncon-
scious but physicians do not give up hope.
Mrs. Sylvester Blocker, wife of the mana
ger of the Tom Thumb troupe, passed a
quiet night, but is very low and will prob
ably not live. James McAlpine, the Mil
waukee commission man, does not improve
and grave doubts are felt for him. Physi-
clans will hold conference over his case
this afternoon. Andrew Hardy is improv-
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Cramer are out of dan
ger. All the servant girls have been taken
to their homes except Minnie Mack and
Dora Cole, both of whom are doing we'll.
CHASTITY FINDS.
Up till evening five bodies-if five little
heaps of charred human flesh may be
called bodies-were found in the ruins of
the Newhall house. At noon the remains
of man were found at the north end of
the ruins lying on mattress, showing that
he was smothered. The body burned be-
yond recognition, although the skull re-
mained intact, showing a set of well pre-
preserved teeth. AS the workmen began to
raise the body the head fell off,
brains oozed out, and odors were
sent forth sufficient to drive them from the
scene. Others came forward and the body
crumbled into confused, blackened mass,
from which bones protruded. 1t was tax
en- to the morgue, where it was placed in a
corner, still smoldering, filling the room
with a stencil that is uncomfortable. AS men
work into and open up the ruins the
odors of burning flesh become more
and more apparent, and there is scarcely
room to doubt that tomorrow night scenes
will be presented before which
TIE sToUTEsT HEART WILL QUAIL
in horror. A human foot has also been
found, partially burned, with no traces of
the body to which it belongs anywhere
near it. Two little heaps of remains found
near some personal effects recognized as
belonging to Bobert Howie and David H.
Nartelle, Wisconsin Central conductors,
leave little doubt that both perished. To
