move the 1Iachinery--C Crowds visit the
Scene Of the Disaster--sad Sights at the
Hospital and 1Iorgue--Trying to iIdent-
ify the Dead.
New York, Aug. 24.-When the bodies
of all the unfortunate men and women
hurled into eternity by the collapse of the
buildings Nos. 60, 20, ~ and "a Park
place on Saturday have been recovered, it
will be found that the fearful list will
contain 110 names.
But sixteen Of the mangled and bumt
bodies were taken out up to last midnight.
Eight were taken out up to Saturday mid
night and eight more were recovered n
the next twenty-four hours.
At 1870 o'clock last night the Italians
were put TO work again at removing the
debris, and half an hour later two bodies
were found near a mass of machinery.
The bodies were lying at about the foot
of the stairway Of No, ~ Park place. Both
were bodies of men, and one Of them wore
a blue jumper and jean oyeralls. Tie
other wore striped trousers
Both bodies were terribly crushed and
burned Deputy Coroner Collin, who
viewed them, said that he believed there
were fifteen more bodies within "a few feet
of them.
These two discovered could not be re
moved as the whole mass would come
down upon the workmen and crush them.
The missing list nov numbers eighty.
There is little hope that any of these
escaped, as they would have notified the
| anxious relatives who gave their names to
the police
Anxious Watchers.
Around the scene of the disaster anxious
| persons stood watching the men at work,
| peering into the ruins on the lookout for
missing friends. The Gordon of police
| detailed to guard the fire lines were kept
busy throughout the night and day keep
ing the people back.
Among the anxious watchers all last
! night were three young women and A
| young man. They were looking for some
! missing friend, but they did not say who
| IL was Finally the escort of the ladies
| told a policeman that one of them was
/ the fanCe of A. B. Peterson, son of the
proprietor of the restaurant, who is
| among the missing Peterson was q
! years of age. In the morning a body was
/ found answering his description and it
/ was Immediately recognized by his friends
when brought outside the lines The
body was badly burned but the identif-
cation was made positive by jewelry found
on the body
The firemen and laborers worked dill
gently this forenoon, but they made poor
progress owing to the heavy machinery
being in the ruins. 1t will probably be
necessary for the men to use derricks &c
get the machinery and iron girders out o.
the way.
Identifying the Bodies.
John Low, of Brooklyn, called at tn,
morgue, and after carefully examining
the bodies identified one as that of his sol
George 10 years old. The old mans griet
at sight of the charred remains of his boy
was unspeakable
Two other bodies were recognized late
on as Gustave Zickler, of $40 Washington
street, Hoboken, and Leonard Cole, o
Bedford avenue, Brooklyn.

Of morphine.
He had been living with a woman
named Ella Risley who said that Buck

both he and his mistress were drunk last
evening.
The woman has been arrested. Her
statements are contradictory and it is
suspected that it is she who administered
the drug. There is another woman in the

have been jealous.

INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.

Women with Tear-Stained Faces Keep |
Their Eyes on the Rescuers.
New YoRK, Aug 24-By o'clock at |
least 1900 people were assembled at the
ends of the block at Cottage place and
Greenwich street. and as the day wore on
their number increased rapidly. Finally
the pressure became so great that the
police found themselves unable to keep the
throng in check and by order OF Inspector
Williams ropes were stretched across the
street. Even this eXpedient failed in its
purpose, for one of the ropes was cut, and
after awhile they were replaced by stout
telegraph wires, against which the crowds
surged in vain 1t was noticeable that
the throug was composed OF in the main
OF moFbidly curious persons, They could
see literally nothing except the great gap
on the south side of the street and an oc-
casional figure of a fireman looming up
through the smoke, yet hour after hour
they stood patiently in the boiling sun
light, bound by fearful fascination.
Here and there in the front ranks might
be picked out an anxious face that gazed
hNedly at the wreck, knowing full well
that some loved one lay beneath it, but
these were few. A number Of vendors of
lemonade, fruit and ice water took ad
vantage Of the opportunity to erect stands
on the shady side of Park place. above Col
lege place, and they were literally patron
ized
Within the police lines a still more
singular crowd was assembled. All who
were fortunate enough to own an estab-
lishment or be employed upon the block
were there to see the fearful show, Many
of them brought their sister and wives
and provided them with seats beneath
awningssand at windows where they could
have the best possible view Of the scene of
death and not fail to witness every horn-
BILE detail attendant upon the removal of
the bodies
There were other women there, too
women with tear-stained faces and qniver-
ing lips, who kept their eyes fixed on the
rescuers and burst into frantic weeping as
body after body was brought out in the
awful dread that it might be that of some
dearly loved one. Mothers watched thus
for sons and wives for husbands, and side
by side with them there smiled women
who were drawn to the spot by no more
worthy motive than that of curiosity.
What Caused the Accident.
The Fire Marshal is making rigid ex-
animation in the matter and it is not at
all unlikely that some one may be called
to a strict account for the awful calamity,
The fire chief is Of the opinion that
there was an explosion of gas or chemicals
and this together with heavy machinery
In the building pulled the structure down.
1t is really miracle that any one in
the building escaped alive, for within ten
minutes from the time of the collapse
the whole ruin was a roaring mass
of flames, the fire in itself being
fierce and stubborn, and the flremen We're
kept busy In their effort TO keep the
flames from spreading to adjoining prop
erty-

It has been given out by the partisan
press that President Polk wrote a let
ter to the Cincinnati conference in
which he opposed a third party, etc,
etc. The truth is, President Polk
wrote no letter to the conference. He
did write a brief personal letter to a
member of order mot offciaD on
the situation. Another member, it is
said, had the letter read in the con-
ference. In this letter he did not advo-
cate or oppose a third party, but sug-
gested that the whole matter should be
referred to the people, in an appropri-
ate address, and in which, if the peo-
pie chose to act, the methods, for the
sake of convenience and uniformity,
might be suggested.
He wrote the letter not to the con-
ference, but to a member of the order.
and signed it, not as President of the
Alliance, but as an individual. All of
which, of course, he had a perfect
right to do, and that is all there is of
it. He received numerous letters from
prominent men living in all sections
asking his views, as to the conference,
and so far as he is concerned, all his
letters in response might have been
read before the meeting.

BEAVER DAM, N. c.. Nav 9. 81.

BEAVER DAM, N. c., May g., 81.
Replying to the article over the
above signature of last issue, I would
kindly cite him to a discussion of free
coinage on first page Of the same issue
of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. In that
article, from Bro. Ward, he can find
facts and reasons that should be salts
factory to any fair-minded person. Not
only this, if he really seeks informa-
ton he can find facts equally as good
in all the reform literature of the
day.
The brother starts out by saying, Il
am an Allianceman and a Democrat. -
All! what does that mean? Is there
any harmony of things there? just so
long as he remains IAN Allianceman
an a Democrat" all the argument that
could be produced in favor of free
coinage could not convict him. The
Democrats voted for national banks.
the Alliance votes for their abolition.
The Democrats voted for the contraction
act, the Alliance votes for an increase
in the volume of currency. The Dem
ocrats voted away a large portion of
our public domain, the Alliance votes
for land reform. Democrats are led.
about by railroad kings, the Alliance
votes for transportation reform. What
does a man mean by saying Il am an
Allianceman and a Democratic" Verify
I'VE cannot serve God and mammon."
The writer urged only one point
against free cOinage-that silver would
~depreciate and silver dollars would be
worth but 60 or rs cents. Such argu-
ment is not practical, but mere senti-
mental politics. What fixes the value
of all money? The government fixes
its unit value and the products of the
country fixes it's real or purchasing
value. Just why silver money would
d~epreciate in value, when, if all the
silver obtainable was coined into
money, it would not anything like

do the business of the country is a
mystery that will never be revealed to
the common people in this generation

which it is composed. The intrinsic

The people of the South and West
have been engaged for thirty years
past in hating one another with great
bitterness. This hating has been most
irrational. 1t is true now, and it has
been true for thirty years, that the in
terests Of the South and West r the
same. Both these sections T agri-
cultural, and they both will remain
agricultural. The natural friends and
political associates of the South are
the people of the West. Whatever is
against one section is against the other,
and whatever helps one section will
help the other. These obvious facts
are just beginning to be perceived over
the mountains of passion and prejudice
that have been piled up between these
sections. And when these facts shall

THE New York Herald publishes
what purports to be the inside history
of the diplomatic dispute betwixt Italy
and the United States. If this publ
cation is genuine, Mr.. Blaine used some
pretty strong language to Baron Faya.
1t is said that Mr.. Blaine eagerly
seized the fact of the Baron's recall as
the ground of the withdrawal of Min
lister Porter from the Court of Italy,
and was only prevented from issuing
an immediate order of rcalI by the
earnest pleading of Baron Fava that
he would not do so. More and more,
as the history of this affair comes to
light, does it appear that the govern
ment of Italy has sought it's ends in
the use of very undignified buster.

STRANGE.

Is it not strange that The PROGRESS
s1vE FARMER, "a secular paper, claim
ing to be non-partisam should cham
pion DR.. Briggs cause, and condemn,
in such strong terms, the Westminster
Confessisn of Faith, and all other
creeds? If DR.. Briggs is charged with
heresy, and should be tried and con-
demued for it, the main cause Will no
doubt be that his views are too broad
and liberal to square with the Word Of
God. The Westminster Confession will
be of secondary Importance. His de-
NAL of some of the plain truths Of Dl-
vine Revelation will be the head and
front" of his offending. There is no
danger of his being censured until he
has had a full hearing so we fail to see
how free religious discussion" will be
''strangled."
There are many Presbyterians, min-
listers, elders, deacons and private
members) who subscribe for THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER and read, with inter
est, what it publishes; but such pro-
nounced, decided condemnation of u
system of doctrine as we find in the
paper of May 10 will cause us to hest
tate before we place it in the hands
Of our children. We teach them, from
the first, that the truths taught in IL
confession are founded on the Scrip
ture, and that they should hold fast
to this form of sound doctrine without
wavering. This, we hold, is not incon-
sistent with a broad, ~liberality; nor
does it at all prevent our seeking more
light IN any religious subject.
(REv.) J. L. CURRIE.
Burlington, N. @.
If the writer Of the above will read
our item again, he will see we did not
write one word in condemnation of
the Westminster Confession that does
not apply to every other Christian con-
fession on earth. We used the term
"creeds," and expressed the opinion
that they ought all to be abandoned.
Our correspondent, we suppose, does
not pretend to say that DR.. Briggs has
been put upon trial for non: acceptance
of anything written in the Bible. We
have as much love for the West
minister Confession as we have for any
other.
