THE BROOKLYN DISASTER.
Continuation of the Search Among the Ruins
Fourteen Bodies Recovered.

BROOKLYN, May THE first thing found this
morning in the ruins of the TERRIBLE catastrophe
Of Monday in South Brooklyn, were two small
fragments of human flesh. Almost the first
spadeful of ashes that dug up bore its fruits.
A piece of livid flesh was scraped by the blade
of the tool and laid bare to sight A few mo-
ments later another small piece of flesh, in which
the veins and nerves were visible was uncovered
and laid beside the first. Superintendent Goh
said: II called at police headquarters, and was
told that there were still seven bodies missing
The doctors who have examined the shapeless.
black portions of human bodies taken from the
ruins reported this morning that all of fourteen
persons are thus represented The number Of
persons reported missing up to IL o'clock to-day
was twenty-one. OF the dead, the bodies OF
Henry burst, Adolph Notes, Frederick EggeI
and Edward Butler have been positively identf
fed, and men who worked in William DurstA
shop say that Henry Hoffman is undoubtedly
among the unrecogniZable bodies exhumed yes.
terday 1t is the general belief that twenty ono
does not cover all the victims of the calamity,
and that when other parts Of the ruins are
searched, more bodies, inclusive Of those of sew.
eral young girls, will be found.
The place where the dead have been found is
In the rear of the west extension, where the floor
fell in and the men in bursts shop were buried
in the wreck before the fire occurred. All the
injured persons, including Mrs Henrietta Haas
and her daughter Emma, are doing well and will
probably recover
The trunk of man and the leg of boy were
found this afternoon in the ruins. A man named
Carlson was reported to the police to-day as
missing.

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY.
The Heirs of Stephen A. Douglas Claim the
Ground OIL Which 1t Stands.

CHICAGO, May THE heirs of, Stephen A.
Douglas began suit to-day in the Superior Court
asking that the Chicago University property be
transferred from its present holders to them.
The property is advertised for sale next Satul.-
day to satisfy judgment of 100000, secured
by mortgage, and there appears to be a prospect
that the University trustees will not be able to
keep it from going into other hands, and pos
siby into hands that will devote it to other than
educational uses. This is the principal ground
of the petitioners They are Stephen A.
Douglas, ir. Mrs. General Williams and
Robert M. Douglas, United States marshal
of North Carolina The bill sets forth that on
Nov 10, 1856, Stephen A. Douglas decided ten
acres Of land to the trustees, to be devoted to
educational purposes and that in this deed it
was stipulated that there must be no sale or
alienation of the property, and that it was
the intention of Mr.. Douglas that only
educational interests should be benefited by his
gift. On the ground that the property seems
likely to be diverted from this use, the petit
TONERS urge that, in default of the carrying ont
of Stephen A. Douglass wishes in regard to the
same, the property rightfully belongs to them,
his heirs 1t is thought that the fling of this
bill will make business men chaly of investing
upon the occasion of the sale.

GENERAL GRANT.
Dr. Shrady Says There Is Nothing to War
rant Change Of the Original Diagnosis.

New YORK, May General Grant slept
seven hours last night This morning he
aroused at the usual time, and took such food
took up pad and pencil, and began the arrange
ment of notes for his next dictation. In the
morning, Colonel Grant said the stenographer
was expected during the day, but that he (the
Colonel would strive to prevent his father from
dictation to-day, believing that he had best rest
his throat and devote his time to the arrange
ment of data.
DR.. George W. Shrady, in the Medical Record
of May 9th. will say of the condition of General
Grant:
During the past week General Grants bod
lly health has much improved, and he has been
enabled to enjoy short drives in Central Park,
TO walk short distances out of doors and
to do a considerable amount of literary
work on his Forthcoming memoirs His appetite
Is better he has relish for his food, and his
swallowing is not attended with much pain
Locally, his disease shows a slight tendency to
progress. The sloughy emulation has disap-
peared exposing exuberant fungoid granulation
in its place. This condition still involves the
right and posteror parts of the pharynx, the
right tonsilar region, and the right side Of the
base of the tongue. The palate curtain is still
considerably infltrated although all signs of
acute inhammatory trouble have disappeared.
At the base of the uvula, the right side, a
small fringed excrescence has developed, which
has shown disposition to increase. On
the free margin of the palate curtain, midway
between the uvnla ard right tonsiar region,
are similar growths. The liberation at the base
of the right anterior faucal pillar, alongside of
the tongue, presents worm eaten surface indi-
eating an extension of the destructive process.
The breathing is free and the voice is clear, but
the movements of the tongue are somewhat re-
stricted, affecting articulation accordingly Des-
plte The favorable general condition, there have
BEEN unfortunately, changes in the local
disease to warrant any modification of the orig
inal diagnosis by the members of the medical
staff"
DR.. Shraey is consulting physician in the
case Of General Grant.

BUSINESS OF A YEAR.
Report Of the New York Chamber Of Com
merce- Suggestions as to the Currency.

New YORK May 8--The 117th annual report
of the New York Chamber of Commerce shows
that for the year 1884 there was decrease m
the imports of the entire country of So, ,Sl2 s06
from the figures Of lsS3 and corresponding de-
crease in exports of $45,s9O,273 The imports of
coin and bullion increased ST. 253 116, but the ex
ports increased $38, 66S, 554. Excluding coin and
bullion, the total imports of the port of New
York were $3S, ,62S 447 less in 1884 than in 1883,
and the exports were $l8, 5sl, $50 less The i'm
port of coin and bullion at this port fell off &c.
1896, ,245, and the exports increased $685. r020 568
The report says:
.'The year has opened favorably, and our
products are going aboard freely. The balance
of trade in our favor--i. e., the excess of ex-
ports over imports, OF merchandise-for the first
first quarter ending March 81, 1885,
is stated by authority at $4S, 632, 664. a marked
difference from the showing of the first quarter
of 1884, when the imports exceeded the exports
by the sum of $21, 162, 1853. The exports Of coin
have thus far exceeded the imports by So 800 600,
of which over So 0O0 600 in silver can well be
spared. We look for a year of gradual revival
and full restoration of true value to every real
security and commodity Already there Is q
healthy revival in many branches Of trade do
not be expected until their real value is def
nitely ascertained-in word. the precise rela-
tion of their income to the capital they repre-
sent.o
In regard to the national bank question the
report says: ''The Comptroller of the Currency
estimates that, unless legislation shall shortly
be had which will enable the banks
to issue currency at fair profit, their
circulation will, from the present time be
reduced at the rate of at least $40, 600, 900 per
annum. 1t must now be definitely determined
whether the national banks shall longer issue
currency, or whether their issue shall be gradu-
ally replaced with coin certificates and the issues
of the government If this latter course be re-
sorted to, as is not improbable it is to be hoped
that they will be limited to $500 000. 600, and as
they have been decided to be legal tender by
the Supreme Court that the promise of exchange
for coin at the treasury or any sub-treasury of
the United States be stamped upon the face of
every note. With this restriction of ISSUE the
engagement of conversion on demand, and the
withdrawal of all notes under $10 the ideal of a
perfect currency would be reached-an ideal
only possible on a metallic basis sufficiently
strong to guarantee conversion, but easy in the
United States, the largest producer of the pre-
cious metals, the continued coinage of which is
and will be, ample to meet the increasing de-
mands of our growing population"
