PrTsBURa. Junuary 10. A Pelion Of
horror is piled, to-day, upon the Ossa Of
yesterdays calamity.
The list of the dead is lengtheniDg, and
new names are being added to that of the
injured.
The scene Of ihe catastrophe still PIE
sents a picture Of desolaiion, although the
chaos that reigned supreme during The
hours Immediately succeeding the horror
yesterday, has given way to something
like order to-day.
The admirable discipline Of the police
and fremtn began to have its effect upon
the large force Of volunteer recuers as coon
as the first shock of the awful occurrence
had passed away, and throughout the lope
watches of the night the work of clearing
away the debris in order 20 reach the un.
fortunate victims who were known still Il
be in the ruins went on with military pre-
cision, and much progress was msde in
that
Hour after hour hundreds Of willing
bands ioiled on, the darkness of the night
being overcome by electric lights and head
lights, Int their lsbor was not rewarded by
the rescue Of any more victims until the
gray dawn Of the morning was breaking
over the city, when the crushed and maDgled
remains of two mep, father aud son, were
found under the ruins Of the Wiley build
ing that had wrought the awful havoc, and
the exertions of the working parties were re-
doubled 10 reach the many still known TO
be Gntombed there.
And 90 the work Of humanity hes gone
on without cessation almost from the very
instant of the catastrophe and still gees on
and will proceed until the very lest victim,
whether dead or alive, has teen removed
fion the mass Of ruirs. In the meantime
every attention is being given the injured
people at the several hospitals or at their
houses, and the gratifying intelligence is
conveyed that the majority will recover.
There are some, however, whom Death
has marked for its own and the fatalities
resultant from the awful occurrence Of yes
terday will doubtless number many yet.
