THE ROYAL HOTEL FIRE.
The Search for the Bodies of the Victims
Sill in Progress.

NEW YORK, Feb. AT 2 o'clock this
morning, when the workmen had been
digging for six hours in the ruins of the
Hotel Royal without finding body, there
was not a corporal's guard or spectators.
They had focked to the scene of the fire
after the theaters were closed, and re-
mained until about 2 o'clock, when they
left. At o'clock the entire force was put
TO work in the cellar, under what was the
dining room, and near the elevator shaft
and staircase An hour and quarter
later body No. 13 was unearthed. 1t
was that of a woman, with dark hair,
badly burned. and utterly devoid of cloth
ing or .Jewelry. by which identification
would be possible. AT 4:30 o'clock the
body of man, minus both legs and one
arm, with the hair burned off and the face
scorched beyond recognition, was taken
from the same place and put in coffin No.
II. At o'clock a. m. a body was found
which may be identified. 1t was that of
an extremely well-formed woman, with
red and black plaid shawl on
her shoulders and a scapular about her
neck. The arms were burned to a crisp,
while the face and neck We're badly
scorched. II took about half an hour
after No. 16 was discovered to remove
the heavy timbers, but the body was finally
taken out at 5:l5 a. N. 1t was that of a
woman, badly charred and entirely naked,

regular and handsome.
The workmen were kept at the center of
the building until o'clock, when change
of force was made, and fresh day men put
on at the side entrance on Fortieth street.
1t is expected that the bulk of the bodies
will be found here and at the foot of the
elevator shaft; for IN passing through both
of these places distinct odor of burnt
flesh manifests itself
One body was identified early this morn
ing as that of Miss Sarah Blake of Shell
donyille, Mass sBody No. has been
identified as that of Mrs. B. Cohen,

The Crocodile thought him i'll bred,
And invited two Rabbits instead;
But the Rabbits replied
''They were hopelessly tied

Then she wrote in despair to some Eels,
And begged them to drop in" to meals;
But the Eels left their cards,

And took to what went for their heels.

A Banks Safeguards.
Wllmi lg On Me e5seneer.

Wllmlngton's new bank will prob
aoly commence business within eight
weeks and it is proposed to surround
1T with safeguards not heretofore pro-
vided by either the State or National
banking system. The object will be
to give the stockholders and deposit
ors the greatest possible security. In
order to provide this security, all the
officers, including the president.
must give bond to be held by the
board Of directors and not by the i'm
mediate management of the bank.
In this way its security would we'll
nigh be on-clad, inasmuch as it
would require the corrupting of
the entire board of directors in order
to wreck the bank, thing hardly
possibly to do. Another new feature
Of security is the election of a bank
examiner by the stockholders. An ex
aminer SO elected will be in addition
to the examiner appointed on the
part OF the State or United States.
and he will reside in the city, so that
he might bounce in and make an ex.
animation at the most unexpected mo-
ment. When the State and United
States examiner pay their stated Wis
its, the banks can shuttle themselves
together and get in shape, but with
an examiner on. the spot with carte
blanche to drop in at any minute and
make an examination it will be a
rather hopeless task to pull the wool
over his eyes.

A Truly Terrible Case.

The readers of the CHRONICLE
were all shocked by the tidings of a
horrible crime near Goldsboro lust
before the holidays; the murder of
w. w. Pearsall and wife and two
children, and the burning of their
home. The bones of the four were
found. On either side Of Pearsall's
were those of the children. Suspic-
ion at once fell upon drunken
white man named Weightman
Thompson. He was found in possess
sion of some of PearsalPs clothing.
The chain of circumstantiai evidence
was complete. This week the case
came up. 1t was feared that
Thompson could not be convicted
of the murder and arson, but only
of the larceny. Facts developed, how
ever, and the grand jury has found
a true bill for murder. Thompson
has had the case moved to John
ston court and it will be tried there
February 22d. He was tried at
Wilson court ten years ago for the
murder of his wife and was acquit-
ted.
