Exhuming Bodies from the Debris.
New YORK, Aug. 27.--Much indigna-

city at the tardy and unsuccessful man.
ner in which the authorities are work
ing to exhuIne the corpses of the unfor-
tunate victims of the terrible disaster
on Park Place last Saturday. Up to 8
o'clock a. m. only fifty-seven bodies had
been taken out, and though many others
are plainly visible mixed up with the
debris, the men at work are powerless to
remove them on account of the want of
proper appliances. Many of the bodies
are held down by the heavy presses
which it will be impossible to remove
without the requisite machinery. These
appliances are promised to be used dur
ing the day, when it is hoped that the
work of exhuming the bodies viii go on
more rapidly. The bodies that are re-
covered now are simply a shapeless mass
of charred, putrid fesh--in many in
stances moving mass of maggots
that it is impossible to recognize by
their features, the identity in most in
stances being made by the clothes, or
some paper, or watch, or something In
the pockets. The stencil of decaying
bodies during the night was SO horrible
that it was almost impossible to breathe
within the fire lines without some coun.
teracting odor to inhale. The total
number of bodies recovered thus far
is 81.
At 10 o'clock the bodies of two men
and one woman, all unrecognizable, have
been found, making sixty-one thus far.

Kelly's jump from the Association to the
League, and the refusal of the League

responsible for the action of the Associa-
tion men.

is THE WHEAT DAMAeEDa
Difrerepce of Opinion Seems to Exist
Among Experts.

Among Experts.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 2.-One of the
best informed grain men in Minneapolis,
with years of experience in handling
wheat, speaking of the recent visit of
Jack Frost to the Northwest, said: "You
must not jump at conclusions from early
and scattering reports. The returns so
far are quite comprehensive, and have
seen great many private reports. It
viii be several days, week probably,
before it viii epossible to form any cor
rect, general conclusions. The reports
very generally describe it as white
frost, and in comparatively few
instances do the reports say ice was
formed. This is very hopeful sign.
With the wheat in such splendid condi-
ton it is possible that white frost
would not hurt it materially. / am
quite certain that the situation is not
nearly so serious as it was in 1888. The
frost that year came several days earlier;
Aug. II, believe, was the date. The
grain was not so mature. Another
thing about the 1888 experience was that
the wheat had rusted and blighted,
although the fact had not become gener.
ally known before the frost. This year
we know to certainty that the wheat
was entirely without blemish. All we
can do now is to await returns and hope
for the best"

An Opinion by CIausen.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 27.-A. G. Clausen,
chief grain inspector of Minnesota, has
been handling grain in the Northwest
for seventeen years and as he is keen
observer, his predictions are always re-
garded as being based on good grounds.
He said, speaking of the frosts: 81 have
noticed, in all preceding years, that the
actual damage by frost has always been
very much larger than first reports
would indicate. We all know that to-
day there are thousands of acres of
wheat in Northern Minnesota and North
Dakota that are still in the dough, and
! believe that the damage by the frosts
viii be ten times as great as has been
reported.

Sudden Death.

Dr. Fetterman fell dead at Benson yesterday morning. He had. in com pany with Wesley Fuller, started for Rockers hot springs. They were pretty we'll along on their journey when the doctor was taken violently Il and asked Fuller, who was diving, to turn back towards Benson. This was done and upon arriving at the stable of P. Delehante the horse was put up and the doctor went into the adjoining saloon and called for q glass of whiskey, which was given him. After this he took a chew of tobacco and sat down in chair. He remained sitting for a few minutes when he started to get up but immediately fell back and expired.
 His body was brought up last night ana coroner's jury summoned but he inquest was postponed until to night to give the witnesses, who were present at the time of his death, an opporu nit to be here.
 Dr. l cit ,rman was born in Penn sylvanis, h father being one of the supreme c,urt judges in that state. He had been in Tombstone several years and leaves widow in this city and daughter in Virginia, Nev. Itis probable that an autopsy will be held upon the body when the inn mediate cause of death will be ascer- | tained.

Score One for Harrison.

A correspondent who is with the presidents party telegraphs his paper in New York that an escort of ten soldiers was ordered to Fl Paso to guard the party through Arizona but when the president found what was going on he gave orders not to allow any soldiers on his train and remark ed that he would have no soldier guard with him and that he was not afraid to travel anywhere in the United States as a private citizen.
 It would seem that it was due to the president that the ten guardsmen from Huachuca came back behind the president instead of ahead of him.
 The PRosPECToR takes pleasure in giving this information publicity but would like to know who it was who attempted to frighten the president into the belief that he needed guard to cross the most law.abiding section of any through which he passed on his journey to the coast.
