The Christmas Celebration of she
 Children of the Humphrey Street
 Church.
 The merry prattle of four hundred children greeted the ears of the reporter as he entered the Humphrey street church last evening. It was the Christmas celebra- tion for the benefit of the children An en- tertainment lasting one hour preceded the giving out of the presents consisting of vocal music by MT. Woodbury Bush and Miss Jen- nie Thomas, Mrs. Dr. Horton assisting at the piano, and recitations by Beulah Sheldon, Edith Bartech, Carrie Ford, Lillie Good, Henry Hosley, Bennie Spock, Jessie Spock and Jennie Klenke. There were two large Christmas trees loaded down with presents, which were distributed by MT. Wilbur Smith and MT. Brown. A large number of church members were present to witness the distr;- button of the presents.
 Among the presents were bibles, scrap books, dolls, games and large variety of other presents too numerous to mention The members of the church raised $50 by subscription for the Christmas entertainment. After all the presents were given out each child received a fine large orange. It was a very pleasant affair and one long to be re- mernbered by the young folks.

THE ORPHAN ASYLUM FIRE. Ten Bodies Taken From The Ruins
 Numbers Of The Little ones Miss
 UnfortunateS.
 Roman Catholic orphan asylum in Brooklyn last night was accompanied by far greater loss of life than was at first supposed. Ex actly how many of the eight hundred little inmates perished in the flames is not yet cer- tainly known. The fremen and the police are still at work digging in the ruins and until they have gone over the entire ground there is no telling the number that met their death. Thirteen bodies have beensIeeovered. Only one woman as far as known was lost. She was Mrs. McCarron, who short time before the time the fire broke out called to see her John, aged twelve. He was sick in the hospital ward.
 The search for bodies among the ruins IS still being pushed vigorously despite the in tense cold, which necessitates the frequent changing of the men engaged in the work. A portion of the building was saved and the loss will not be as heavy as first reported. The loss of life, however, is larger than was first supposed by those connected with the institution. Up to o'clock tonight the bones and mutilated remains of thirteen persons had been taken out. This raises the total number to fifteen. There are yet 122 boys unaccounted for, but it is believed that nearly all of those have wandered away from the nelghborhood and are safe Nearly all the bodies were in that part of the building in which the dor mitory was situated, and as at least thirty of the occupants of that room were too ill to leave their beds, it is probable others will be discovered. The remains were all taken to the sewing room in that part of the building saved, where they now lie. Coroner Hesse empannelled jury this afternoon, but ad- journed the inquest until tomorrow.
 Some of the trustees of the asylum visited the building this morning to learn how many bodies had been recovered. Some of the men stated that thirteen bodies had been taken out and placed in the sewing room, but the trustees in looking over the charred remains which had been gathered found that there were only ten. It has been ascertained that the body of the woman is that of Mrs. Mary McCarron, who was visiting her son. The trustees of the asylum are in recEipt of numerous offers of buildings in which to quarter the orphans and it is likely that the asylum will shortly be rebuilt.
