merely curious, while others had sad in
terest in watching the work in the ruins.
The fremen who worked down among the
debris in the interior Of the building said
they could smell the sickening odor Of burn
ing flesh and occasionally when the wind
blew in that direction. The crowd stand
ing on State street could distinctly detect
the same horrible smell. The tenement
houses on Atlantic avenue that had their
rears burned out were still unoccupied and
were in charge OF policemen. The occu'
pants sheltered themselves last evening, as
best they could. Kindly neighbors having
taken the most of them in.
After two hours work this morning the
remains OF another body was found and
has been identified as that of Edward Bell,
Ter. Up to u o'clock to day none of the
bodies recovered had been fully identified,
although one ofthem is believed to be that
of Daniel Lowry, the engineer Of the 5urned
building. The other bodies will probably
never be fully identified Ore of them is
without o head and the other is simply Q
charred mass Of flesh, the trunk alone re-
naming. Up to noon today nine persons
had been reported as missing at the third
,sub,precinct station house. They
were: Gustave Lupze, aged 20;
single; VIM Legge, aged -; Henry Darst,

PORTLAND, ORE, May 6.-Mckee Ran.
Kin, who, with his company, is playing here
was interviewed regarding a dispatch an
rouncing the decree of the New York 81.
preme Court enjoining him from playing
49, and allowing the plaintiff, Joaquin
Miller, certain damages. Rankin claims
that Miller has no interest whatever in the
play; that he wrote only one speech which
subsequently was cut out bodily when Miller
bscame unreasonable in his demands for
more money. Rankin thinks there must
be some mistake about the dispatch. When
asked if he would continue to play "49,
Rankin replied: Why of course | will. l
don't owe any man dollar I'm not liable
to pay, and will play "+s' in spite of Miller
