that he had any thing to do with the
matter is disproyed by the fact that late
yesterday afternoon the firm to which

of the bank for almost S3G, 900. This is

among the firms members. Tho

He is brother-in-law of Book-keeper
Whitney. VIM. Gould has paper to
make good amounting to $40, 900, and tho
other $4,000 is divided between two
other brothers. Late yesterday after
noon Whitney was again arrested, it be-
ing found that two of his bondsmen had
overdrawn their accounts, George L.
Thomas in the sum OF 80, 500 and Ed
ward Taylor $1,000. Whitney was put
in charge of an officer and allowed to go

reach over $4,000 but about $40, 900
has been made good. 1t was stated last

Reported.

UTICA, N. Y, May 1O.-The number

sion is growing that the loss of life far
exceeds the first estimate. In the build
Ing were many very aged women, some
OF whom had not left their beds for
months, and others who from weakness
OF mind were incapable Of finding their
way out of the building in the midst of
the confusion and excitement which
prevailed. 1t is now believed that
number of these perished, and this
belief is strengthened by the dis
covery of body yesterday at
some distance from the department
occupied by the imheciles. There. are
several feet Of ashes and debris in the
cellar, and the probabilities are that
when they are removed a number OF
bodies will be found. Many of the old
people had no relatives, anl they are
only brought to mind by therecollection
OF the keeper and their companions, so
it is impossible as yet 10 say who and
how many are missing. The building
burned very rapidly, as if pitched and
tarred and with great tierceness. The
lire was intensely hot, and tho belief
exists that some of the bodies were so
completely incinerated that no trace of
them can bo found. The following are
known to have been burned besides
those mentioned in previous dispatches.
Mary Vosburg, Otselic; Roxie Mallory,
Norwich, and Julia Hunt, Norwich.
One insane woman was captured near
Plymouth, some twelve miles distant,
last night, She was half-clad, and be-
wailing the loss of her home. One of the
imbcciles was scared into her senses by
the fire, and escaping from tho
burning room by window, reached
the roof, and crawled along the ridge
board and aroused the keepers wife
from ssumber, thus saving her life. On
Monday the coroners jury will begin
the taking of testimony and it is not
expected that the full number of those
missing will be known till then, as tho
officials are very reticent The insane
paupors will be brought to Utica to-day,
and preparations are bing made in the
