It is be- leived that there. were sixty people in the hotel Sunday night. and at least fifteen cannot be accounted for. All night busy workers helped to remove the ruins, working by the aid of electric light, but up to 1O:30 o'clock this morning no additional bodies had been recovered. | This morning over one hundred men are working upon the ruins. | The night clerks body is supposed to be under the safe and will probably be recovered before long. The clothing, bedding, etc, taken from the building is examined by inspectors and numbered in the basement of the Smith & Root building.
 | Ex-State Senator Pendleton of Indiana, reported to have been among the killed left Hartford Sunday and Is at present stopping in New Haven. THREE MORE BODIES.

 woman were found in the center of the
 building lying on mattrass. The man
 was recognized by the whiskers on
 the side of the face as Rev Dr Perrin of
 the Congregational Tract society. Mrs
 Perrin's legs were entirely burned away. Fifteen minutes later the body of an
 unknown man, dressed, was found sit ting upon barrel in the cellar. No one
 could identify the remains. The night
 clerks body has not yet been recovered.
