Three More Rescued Alive.
A mother and daughter were rescued
alive Wednesday suffering from the
nervous shock and hunger. They were
at once removed By rescuers and placed
in charge Of friends. Both will recover.

sense.
1t IS reported that late Wednesday Il.

trouble resuscitated and given oveE IN
charge of his father. It has since been
learned that his name Is Eddie Schoefier.
some sti'I Entombcd Alive.
It is thought not improbable that there
are some people alive tied up In the
houses left standing along the lower part
of the island, where the laborers have
not been able to penetrate as yet. This
may seem improbable at this distance Of
100 miles or more from the scene OF the
disaster, but the most skeptical and cyni-
cal have been shocked by the scenes re-
lated by eye witnesses and the thrilling
stories told of narrow escapes by SUR
vivors.
Burying the Bodies.
All bodies that remained unidentified
were placed in coffins and removed TO
places of burial Each coffin bore a
card in which was a description OF the
body and clothing and any article Of
dse or value found on the remains. As
she bodies were carried and deposited in
the yard an undertaken made a copy Of
the description together with the morgue
numDer, as well as the place Of burial
The list Will be posted at different places
throughout the town for the inf0rma-
tion of Inyuiring friends. Very few OF
these, however, will ever be identified
The work of digging out the corpses
yet in the ruins scattered oil over the
place Is progressing somewhat slower.
Handling Bodies Il Dangerous work.
Superintendent Brodinger, Of the
Grand View cemetery, says his men are
in need of 200 pair Of rubber gloves.
The bodies brought there for interment
are so badly dec0mposed that it Is be-
coming exceedingly dangerous TO handle
them without rubber gloves and coffins
with any regard to decency.
Many Missing Children.
One feature Of the disaster is notice
able at all the norgues, particularly the
Fourth Ward school house. At any
time may be seen lines Of fearful mothers
inquiring for young children and infants.
Some say they do not want 70 see them

away slowly when. told that there are
no children inside. It appears q little
strange that, although the number Ofs
lost children must have been very large,
the number found has been proportion
ately small
Soldiers on Guard.
The borough OF Johngtown and the
adjoining borOug1s or what Is left Of
them have practically passed under
martial law Adjt. Gen. Hastings says
he has not declared martial law, yet the
soldiers are on guard and no one Is per-
mitted between the rivers unless he has
an order from the adiutant general.
The sight seers are debarred altogether,
and the town is inaccessible except 10
newspaper men and other people who
have business here It Is probable that
the Eighteenth regiment win be ordered
out, from the fact that it takes 50 many
soldiers to cover the ground. A guard

Plenty Of Provisions.

general headquarters, reports that tele.
