the work of pulling over the charred
timberS in search of other unfortunates
who it was thought had been unable to
escape was commenced. BY noon the
boat had been thoroughly searched and
No Additional Bodies Found
The opinion was expressed that so in
tense had been the heat-in the center of
the boat that even had any of the oc-
cupants failed to escape, nothing of
their remBins would be left to tell their
fate. Rev. David Morgan, superin-
tendent of the Bethel, stated yesterday
that the register had been burned, and
he had no means of telling definitely
how many people were on the boat at
the time of the fire. In his opinion there
were about fifty persons. but there might
have been more or less than that mum
Der. He was certain the fire was not
started by lamp explosion, but could
give no other explanation as to the
origin. The bodies of the two men
found after the fire were taken to the
mOrgue, and yesterday morning one of
them was Identified as John Sin
gelton, engineer on the boat.
Singleton had been emploved
by the association since May, and had
charge or the bath plant which was res
Gently started i'll connection with the
lodging house. He was about sixty
years old, and his home was in Wiscon-
sin. The body of the other man has not
been identified. but it is thought to be
that of stranger who came to the boat
several days ago and had been confined
to his room by illness since his arrival.

from the Woodland Baptist church at
Arundel and Selby avenue Mrs. Peak
was matron on the boat, and was in

Louise Morgan. daughter of Rev.
David Morgan, who was so badly
burned, died at St. Luke's hospital at
IL O'Clock last evening She was re-
ported slightly improved in the early
part of the day, but the shock to her
system was too great for the little girl
to bear,and towards evening she became
gradually worse. Everything possible
was done to alleviate her sufferings, but
before the shades of evening fell the
physicians gave up all hope and, as the
midnight hour approached the spirit left
the charred body. The other persons
who were burned or injured in making
their escape are ali doing nicely, aud re-
ports from the hospital insure their
speedy recovery.
