Tho horror OF the disaster in Park place on
Saturday afternoon increases rs tho days
pass. and the hugo death pile. with It's scores
OF bodies. remains exposed to the heat OF the
bruised and brokon bodies were takensfrom
tho wreck yesterday. and 1t Is reasonably
certain that four times that number arc still
hidden beneath the iron and brick and stone
that tower high above the street. Among
those recovered were four bodies Of young
moro hideous form than to tho others. They
wsre not killed By the fall Huge weights had
not crushed their lives out instantly. They
had lived possibly for hours In little vault
where they had led to escape death. The fire
crept slowly down on them and helped to
consume tho oxygen in their little supply Of
air. 80 they met death slowly BY sufrocation.
Their bodies were uncovered In the after.
noon and were carried above by the fremsn to
where their friends had waited THO long hours
since Saturday, hoping against hope that
their lives might have been saved. Tho scene
in tho street when the four bodies were e1-
posed to the view Of those friends Is almost
indescribable. Sisters screamed and tainted.
Others became insane and fought like ugressss
when the police would prevent them from fall
ing on the bodies and embracing them. Fa-
theirs wept In silence and tried to restrain tho
emotion OF tho others. Mothers sank on their
knees by tho boxes and eaned fearless at their
loved Ones.
Though tho night tho Italians worked list
lessfy. seeing apparently how little they could
do. Nov and then they dragged body to
light and lifted IL earelossly into VISITING
box. When morning came and the ferce sdn
beat down upon the mass. 1t was soon evident
that for the health OF the city 1t would be
necessary to adopt other and moro vigorous
means to clear away the wreck and remove the
bodies that remained. Capt. O'Connor Of tho
Oak street station had sald
"Give mo twenty Irlshmen and I'll warrant
theyn do as much work In minute as these
men can d. in o week."
The suggestion was acted on. and Acting
Chief Reilly OF the Fire Department sent to q
stevedore and got gang o1brawny 1ongshore-
men. They were mon Of muscle, and they
went to work with will. Tho result OF their
work could coon BIO seen though tho frequent
violent storms interiered. with them. Their
manner and thoir muscle iDsbired tho weau
flremen who had lubored INCREASINGLY through
the night and who had become disgustod at
the assistance rendered them by tho Italians.
The hinge presses that had barred tho search
for the victims OF the catastrophe were lifted
over like 30 many big boxes. and. with block
and tackle. were hauled up Into tho street. Tho
Italians. left to themselves. did less work than
they had been doing and ono o! them. IL is boz
