OUR SOLDIERS At NIAN1IC'
As sung by John Moriarty.

Our thoughts are on Mantle,
AS we sit at home to night;
Our boys are learning arts of war
In case they have to fight.
We've Grants, Shermans and Sheridans,
To keep the flag unfurled.
The blood is here, the will is here,
To face the entire world.
The girls are sad and lonesome,
They don't know what to do;
Their thoughts are ON Mantle,
And their soldier boys so true.
They told us when we'd write tonight,
To tell them not remain,
Here's Jane and Ann and Kate and Fan,
Down waiting for the train
They want the matter settled,
About their future life.
They think the Quaker Range the best,
1t pleases man and wife.
The chamber set of course We'll get,
And all that goes with that;
Extension table, lounges and chairs,
And things that suit our flat.
SO hurry up, come home and buy,
And follow life's pursuits;
You know we've got to judge the tree
According to it's fruits.
Our store is full and all complete
To home we'll make you stick;
So here's health to all the boys
Who are now i'll Mantle.

Anxious Watch ers.

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
1t was. Finally the escort of the ladies
told II policeman that one of them was
the fiance of a. B. Peterson, son of the
proprietor of the restaurant, who is
among the missing. Peterson was 81
years of age. In the morning 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 identif1
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 to
get the machinery and iron girders out of
the way.
Identity ing the Bodies.
John Low, of Brooklyn, called at the
mOrgue, and after carefully examining
the bodies identified one as that of his son
George, 10 years old. The old mans grief
at sight of the charred remains of his boy
was unspeakable.
Two other bodies were recognized later
on as Gustave Zickler, of $40 Washington
street, HobokeD and Leonard Cole, of
Bedford avenue, Brooklyn.
