NEW YORK, Aug. GA number of men
and about twenty-five carts were at work
to-day removing the debris from the scene
of the Park-place disaster. There seems to
be little diminution in the crowd of persons
who are anxious to look at the RUNS,
although there IS little to be seen, and the
police lines have still to be maintained in
order to enable the men to continue their
work. During the night and this morning
a number of persons whose friends are miss
ing called at the second precinct station in
the hope of getting some clew by which
they might be able to identify some of the
seventeen unknown dead at the morgue.
This afternoon Coroner Hanley. accom-
panied by Assistant District Attorneys
Bedford and Townsend, and o clerk and q
/. stenographer, arrived at the Church-street
police station to impanel a jury. There
were over twenty person subp9naed to act
as jurors in the inquest regarding the
deaths of the victims of the Park-place
sworn In: Charles H. Peasants, wholesale
druggist; Joseph Lamb, church decorator:

Theo. /. Dovinney, printer: james
w. McBarren. machinist; Langstatf
w. Crow, real estate: Timothy
Hayes. printer; Albert r. Ledoux, chemist.
The coroner escorted the jurors to the scene
of the calamity. where a cursory exanina-
ton of the ruins was made. The jurors
assembled the dismantled building adjoin-
ing the ruins. and through the openings on
the second floor viewed the remnants of the
wrecked building. They found that the
beams had been held by anchors. which
that the mortar clinglng to the bricks was
of good quality. OF course they would ex-
press no opinion regarding the wrecked
building. The jury then dispersed. to meet
again at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning

Patriotic Order Sons of America.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-The question
under discussion this morning at the ses-
sion Of the National Camp, Patriotic Order

Western delegates who have opposed, al

prise at this sudden move of the Eastern
members, but they felt little alarm that
it would be successful, knowing that
the same number or votes would be requi-
site as was required To amend the constitu-
tion 60 as to admit olored members. The
debate that followed the Offering of the res
olutionYwas q long and hot one. When the
vote was finally taken the resolution was
defeated by a vote of Sc to So. thus settling
in the negative for another year the ques-
SA0A4 "a k.0 y
When the Pennsylvania members found
that they had been beaten on the colored
question they put into execution the threat
that they have been holding ont TO the
Western members-that is. TO use the
power given them by their large represen-
tation in the camp to select the next place
of meeting and to elect officers. Lebanon.
Pa, was selected as the next
place of meeting. and the third
