THE CONVENT HORROR.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. S.-Search in the ruins
of the convent at Belleville, Ill, was re-
.sumed this morning, and up to l o'clock
two more bodies were found. The remains
of the sister superior, Mary Jerome, were
discovered ct noon, and was identified by
the spectacles, with gold chain attached to
the Cross and rosary. The remains re-
ported yesterday as those of Sister
Angelina are now supposed 10 be those of
Sister Edwarina. Granting that each lit
tie heap Of charred bones and roasted flesh,
that SO far has been taken from the ruins,
represents separate body, and it is very
difficult to determine whether they do,
there ere still five persons missing. The
funerals OF the victims to be buried have
been fixed for Thursday. All the priests
and fathers of the diocese of Alton are in
vited to attend Father Abbelyn, of Mil
waukee, has arrived, and will look after
the interests of the society, and arrange
for the funeral and the future disposition
of the remaining sisters.
The latest report from BalleYilla to-
night is that no more bodies were found
his afternoon aud no more identiications
| were made. The inquest has proceeded all
| day and will be continued tomorrow. The
| testimony has been of a somewhat cor
| ficting character, but shows pretty clearly
that the fire department was entirely mad
equate to cope with such fire and sadly
deficient in the necessary appliances. Sis
ter Elentheria testified this afternoon that
she thought there were seventy one persons
| in the convent at the time of the fire,
| thirty y-seven OF wnom escaped,
thus leaving thirty four as missing. This
cannot be verified, however, as all the
records were burned, but the sister will at
tempt to recall from memory the names of
these present, and by comparing the
names try and reach the actual number.
This testimony created considerable SEN
sation, and every effort will be made to
ascertain the facts in the case, The re-
mains identified as Emma Stock are now
believed to be those of Miss Bailey, and it
is doubtful whether Virginia Heintzelman
has been found. Search will be resumed
again tomorrow and will be prosecuted
vigorously.
