THE HARTFORD TRAGEDY.

The Clerks Body Reeovered-Dr. ans Mrs. Perrtn's Funerai-Harkford,, Fire A1arm-Mr. WhitlnG,s Body Supposed to be Burned Up. HARTFORD, Feb. 20.-One of the remsrka ble features of the Hartford horror is that nearly all of those who were in the hotel and escaped unaided were uninjursd. They suf fered no damage except from the resultant shock. One who was "blown up" with the rest had his knee fractured.
 THE HOTEL CLERKS BODY FOUND.
 The work of excavating the ruins contin- ued all night Tuesday night and all day to- day. At 10 o'clock this forenoon the body of Night Clerk Perry was found. It was imprisoned in great mass of debris. Many people think that no more bodies will be found; others are equally of the conviction that from five to ten more will be brought to light. Perry's body was fully identified by his father, William Perry of Holyoke, and by his brother, and was delivered to them, who took it to Holyoke this afternoon for inter ment.
 FUNERAL OF DR. AND MRS. PERRIN.
 The funeral of Dr. and Mrs. L. Perrin will be held at 11:30 8. m. Thursday in New
 
 was for 30 many years the pastor. The ser vices will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. Wright, the present pastor of the church, as- sisted by President of Yale university, the Rev. Dr. Cooper of the South church. the Rev. Dr. Potter of Hartford, and the Rev. MT. Andrews of Torrington, where Dr. Per ring was settled for several years.
 HOW HARTFoRD's MILITIA RESPONDED.
 When the fire alarm bell on Monday began it's call of two "elevens'' for the military to assemble, one of the officers of Company K was near the arch on Ford street. As soon as he recognized the call he ran to the arm ory, thinking others would soon be there. To his surprise he found thirteen of his own company already there, and in half an hour the number of men who reported was over seventy. Of the three hundred who live in Hartford two hundred and fifty were on du- ty and the other fifty accounted for before night.
 NO MORE BODIES YET-MR. WRITINGS BODY.
 HARTFORD, Feb. 20 (9p. m.)-No more is gaining ground that the remains of MT. Whiting were entirely burned up. It is now known that a woman apparently unin- jured was taken from the ruins immediately after the explosion and carried to the Earl
  ing, and later went away. Her name has not been ascertsined.
 THE HOSPITAL PATIENTS.
 The injured at the hospital are all doing we'll, although none will probably be dis charged for several days yet. MT. Walter M. Gay, agent of the Higganum Manufactur- ing company, will probably be first to leave the hospital, although he complains to-day of pains in his right leg, probably of rheu- matism caused by his immersion in ice cold water for seval hours. MT. Stif1e, the Phil- adelphia commercial traveller, has severe pains in one arm at intervals. Mir. Enos James of New York is in very favorable con- dition, and will probably leave at the same time with MT. Gay. There is nothing special to report concerning the others.
 11:30 p. m.-Medical men, after further examination, are now satisfied that the charred pieces of flesh and bone found near those of Mrs. Whiting are portions of the body of her husband, MT. Andrew F. Whit ing, actuary of the Hartford Life and An- nuity Insurance company. This makes the number of dead twentytwo, and accounts for all known positively to have been in the building. The searching party is still at work, but nothing has been found since this forenoon.
