NEw YORK Aug. s1.-The work of
searching for the dead in the ruins Of
the block destroyed BY Saturdays ex-
plosion was concluded last night and
q number of bodies were found. Most
of the dead were terribly burned and
presented a horrible sight
The police record gives the number
of dead bodies taken from the Park
place ruins up to 1 o'clock as sixty-one.
OF these seven bodies were identified
Immediately after being discovered and
were taken direct to undertakes or
their homes There were 6fty-four
bodies taken to the morgue, and Of
these thirty-three were identified
There remain twenty-one bodies I'M
identified.
In the afternoon Acting Fire Chief
Reilly announced that the search
for the dead in the ruins was COM
plcted and that no more bodies re-
manned there.
The bureau of membranes kept up
its work of removing the debris from
the street until p M, when all work
stopped There still remained about
the spot several desolate women whose
dead had not been found and who re-
fused to believe that there had been q

all that there was so large a number OF
missing who could not be accounted

WASHINGTON. Aug. ga telegram
from Valparaiso dated August - has
been received. of which the following
is translation:
The insurgents succeeded in landing
10000 soldiers at the bay Of Quinteros,
north of Valparaiso where they start
ed along the shore toward Valparaiso
under the protection of six of their
men-of-war and eight armed transports,
besides ell the boats of their fleet
provided with mitralleuses, endeavor-
ing to surprise the city by a rear attack.
A government force of 1000 men was
Immediately dispatched from Valparai.
SO and succeeded in delaying the cross
ing of the Aconcagua river near its
mouth, while sufficient number of
troops were moving by rail to protect
Valparaiso and oppose the insurgents.
The government forces succeeded n
stopping the insurgents for forty hours
with loss to the enemy of about 5000
of their choicest men, Notwithstanding
the FIRE from the insurgent fleet be-
sides that of land forces
This operation enabled the govern
ment to select the best positions for
their 1900 arriving troops, although
this advantage cost the loss of half the
mum Der of the gallant division of $50
men which contested the march of the
rebels and their crossing the Aconcagua
river
The rebel feet has been kept at bay
by the fire of Fort Andes and the in
surgent forces are deprived of the exc
pected protection of their men of " ar,
while the government forces are con-
stantly receiving reinforcements from
the interior. Now the rebel forces will
be found without any possible way Of

A Loaded Boy.

GREENsBCRG, Pa, Aug. so. Ray
Lloyd. aged Is. of Salina, yesterday
went home with eight boxes of toy
pistol caps in his hip pocket Shortly
after his arrival he disobeyed his
mother. who proceeded at once to do
him up. While chastising him with q
rod she struck him across the pocket in
which the caps were. A terrific explo-
sion followed. When the smoke Of
battle had cleared away there stood
the boy with the clothes torn from his
back and scattered all about the room.
One side of his body and his back were
terribly burned The flesh on the hips
were charred to q crisp. A physician
was speedily summoned, who dressed
his wounds The mother was fright
ened almost to death. and tearfully
protested that she did not know the
boy was loaded.

In the province of Wilma not long
since the wife of a telegrapher named
Stankiewicz was taken i'll and the fam
lily physician ordered that she be i'm
mediately transferred to the hospital
Some Of the other female members of
the household decided that they knew
better than the doctor what allied the
woman. According to their story she
had been bewitched by her neighbor,
q Mrs Richert, and a cure could be eff
fected in only one way. A small guam
tity of the blood of the woman who
had worked the spell must By some
means be secured The husband OF the
sick woman, securing a wagon, pro-
ceeded to the field where Mrs Richert
was at work and forcibly placing her
in the conveyance drove as rapidly as
possible to his home. There they found
the sick woman surrounded By several
friends On seeing Mrs. Richert they
carefully closed al the doors and win
dows to prevent the flight of the witch,
as they called her. This accomplished,
they struck her a fearful blow in the
face, causing the blood to flow freely.
The mother of the bewitched woman
caught some of the clood in a spoon and
poured it down her daughters throat.
Naturally such remedy proved useless
and the woman died-N. y. Recorder.
