Dead Bodies at the Morgue Identified by
Grief-Stricken Friends.
At the morgue the sight was one horrible to
behold The little building. in which was one
ice chest and dissecting table. was not near
large enough to hold the dead bodies brought
from the wrecked building At 1890 o clock the
sixteenth dead body reached the little building.
There was no one at the morgue Who was able
to identify the bodies, and SO Superintendent
Schoenberger tagged them with numbers -
they were brought in. Along the floor they
were arranged In numerical order and during
the day Thousands Of persons called and viewed

They Planned Their Escape.
The fear Of at least some Of the clerks that the
building unsafe and liable to fall at any
time is shown by the statement made by clerk
that F. b. Keefer and G. A. Camp. who were
on the second floor. had few days
ago fixed upon plan by which
they would escape should a disaster come.
They even went SO far to practice their
method OF getting out Of the place by stepping
from window to a water spout and then low
erng themselves to the ground. 1t was this
plan which they had discovered previously that
they utilized today to save their lives

Few the First Floor.
The loss Of life on the first floor was com
paratively small, owing to the fact that the CEN
trail portion was roped off just over
where the excavation was in progress.
This was done because Of the dust
that came up through the floor. The clerks
who usually occupied this space were Temporal

were only a few who occupied desks

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-There is a
conflict of opinion as to whether a vote
will be reached in the louise on the
Repeal bill to-day.
Mr.. Bland and the other leading silver
men continue to assert that a vote can
not be had on concurrence in the Senate
amendment before Friday or Saturday.
Gen. Tracey and other repealers believe
a vote can be taken before ) O'Clock to-
day.
