ALL THE DEAD FOUND
SiXty-one Bodies Taken from
the Park Place Ruins.
II PERSONS STILL MISSING.
Those Unaooounted For May Have Been
Burned to Dust.

NEW YORK, Aug 27.-The mournful
tale is complete. The CHASTITY task is
finished, and 81 human beings, who on
Saturday were filled with life and hope
and buoyant spirits, have been taken out
of the wreck of the Park place buildings.
During the last "a hours the most
lOathsome remnants of the collapse were
carefully and laboriously searched, and
the list of the half hundred victims al
reHdy exhumed was added to by the dis
Gov cry Of yet another II.
She verified list of the missing shows
thi''ty-five persons unaccounted for. The
number of unidentified dead taken from
the ruins is eighteen. Allowing that
eighteen of the missing persons are rep
resented by the unknown dead, 1t will be
seen that there are still II unaccounted
for They are not in the ruins. And if
not, comes the natural query from every
side, where are theyS The theory is adj
vanced that owing to the fierceness of the
flames, which ragged several hours, some
of the bodies were entirely consumed.

MAYOR GRANTS ACTION.

Decisive Steps Taken With Regard to the
Great Calamity.
NEW York, Aug. 27.-When Mayor
Grant returned to the city from Coopers-
town he Immediately went to the scene
of the accident. He criticised the Fire
Department severely for not removing
the debris at once. The Mayor said it
should have been removed within "a
hours. Later in the day he sent for Fire
Commissioner Robbins and held a con-
ference with him.
The mayor ordered that an investiga-
ton be made at once. Chief eastman
told him that he was on the scene within
two minutes after the accident occurred,
and the building was then in flames. He
reasons, therefore, that there must have
been an explosion of some sort after the
building collapsed. He cannot yet tell
whether it was from the igniting of gas
by the lamps in the restaurant or the ex-
plosion of chemicals in the drug store
The chief, however, will make a full re-
port.
Coroner Hanley empanelled jury to-
day to hold an inquest in the case Of the
victims Of the collapsed building. He in
tends to holds the inquest next Tuesday.
Burying the Unidentified Bodies.
Mayor Grant has authorized the Com
missioners of Charities to procure plot
in some cemetery to decently inter all
the unidentified bodies of the disaster.
There are now twenty-three of them at
the Morgue that must be buried by Fri
day owing to their advanced stage of de-
composition
The theory is now advanced that an ex-
plosion of several barrels of benzine in
the drug cellar caused the wreck. The
fire that Immediately followed the col
lapse burned very much like an oil fire.
Relief for the Sufferers.
At noon Mayor Grant appointed re-
lief committee to look after the sufferers
from the disaster. 1t is composed of
prominent citizens.
The subscriptions already reach So, 1885,
Mrs D. Jones Grain, owner of the col
lapsed building, subscribed 81 900 of this
amount.
A Newport, R. l., dispatch says that
Mrs. Aston, Mrs. F. w. Vanderbilt, Mrs
Townsend Borden, Mrs. Richard Irwin,
Mrs. William Jay and other well-known
ladies have expressed a willingness to
contribute for the relief of the families
suffering from the Park Place disaster.

a Badly Battered Man.

A more contorted anatomy than that
of George Burns, who was locked up at
the Eighteenth District station house
on Tuesday night, has never come to
the attention of the police or hospital
authorities of this city.
DR.. Judge, the district surgeon, made
d careful examination of the man, and
found that he had no bone in the lower
portion of his leg, but its place had
been taken by formation of gristle
The upper right leg has been broken in
two pieces, and the left knee-cap was
completely missing. Three ribs were
entirely gone from his left side;
his right arm had no joint at
the elbow, and a silver plate extended
from over the ear on the right side of
his head all over his forehead This
plate, when tapped with a lead pencil,
gave off a dull, ringing sound.
His story was that he had enlisted i'll
the Forty-seventh Massachusetts Regi-
ment and, when in 1866 an order was is
sued that men in the army wishing to
enter the navy could be transferred, he
made application and was appointed
civil engineer on the United States
steamer Essex. He was afterward con-
nected with the Inman and White Star
Steamship companies as engineer, and
he received most of his injuries in the
wreck of the steamer Savannah on
Gays Rock, Martha's Vineyard, in
which catastrophe over 100 people per-
ished.- Philddelpllid Record

Where Names In Fiction Come From.

Literary workers, according to the
Boston Transcript, do not like to discuss
their methods. Perhaps they are some
times little ashamed of the machinery
out of which they get names for their
characters, just as they might be of
their rhy ming dictionaries. How many
authors have written stories, with all
the names left blank, or with the actual
names of their best friends or the best
known of people, and afterwards sat
down with directory, a tax-list, the
catalogue of college, or the list of VIC
Tins in railroad disaster, to select or
combine laboriously the right names to
give to their people! Others do not do
this at all; they think the name to begin
with, and in the evolution of the story
associate the imagined character with
the name SO intimately that they could
not go on with the story if the parsonage
were to have any other name. A good
deal. it is known, depends upon a
name: and in spite of the progress and
the power of the gospel of realism, there
is as yet not such thing as absolute COM
mon-place, everyday realism in fiction

THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
A Danish Astronomer Was First to Di
cover Its Rate of Travel.

"A Danish Astronomer w as 10 h1s-
cover It's Rate of Travel.
1t was the great fortune of Danish
astronomer to make the discovery that
light, as we'll as sound, requires given
time to travel given distance. R9mer,
the famous Dane alluded to, was led to
his discovery by observations of the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons. He found
that there was difference of several
minutes in these eclipses, that they &C.
Cured earlier when the earth was on
the side of the sun nearest Jupiter, and
later when farthest away.
With this data as a starting point he
soon found that the difference of appar-
ent time resulted from the time required
for light to travel across the diameter of
the earth s orbit, about $4,000 900
miles. This time proved to be about
sixteen minutes, and as half that would
be the time from the earth to the sun the
mystery was solved. The accuracy of
this calculation has since been verified
py other methods, and all authorities
now agree that the velocity of light is
not far from $4,000 miles q second
