Sought the Shade.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
July 1.-THE wild electric storm which
swept over the White City last night,
failed to produce any cooling effect this
morning. The clouds cleared away be-
fore day break and the sun arose in
clear sky and the atmosphere was sui
try and steamy and intensely hot
There was not a rush OF visitors during
the early part of the day. BY II o'clock,
however, the bureau OF admissions es-
timated that at least $4,000 tickets had
been sold. The visitors did not
linger on the streets and wind
ing ways OF the Fair grounds
but sought shelter in the great build
inRs where it was paSsably cool. ThOus-
ands collected 10 the shade OF the build
inEs along the lake shore where they
drank In the refreshing winds that
blew cool and comforting from that
beautiful body Of water. Additional
forces OF men were put 70 work clearing
away the rubbish and ruins OF the fatal
cold storage warehouse this morning.
There were near 200 men at work, but
30 great and difficult is the task that
even with so great force, II
will probably be fortnight
before they will have 10 clear
ed away. No more bodies have been
found though. Drs. Robinson, OF the
ambulance corps, aud the chief OF the
sanitary department. are in hrm
in the belief that more will be
uncovered. They base their op-
Unions on the odOrs that rise
around the smoke stack. In this quar-
ter OF the building no meats were
stored and the officials believe the OdOrs
arise from the deCaying OF human bod
les. But above this point OF the ruin
there is piled q mountain OF tangled
steam pipes and heavy machinery piled
around with half burned tim0erS. In
order 10 lessen the stencil arising from
the rotten vegetables and decayed meats
they have bad the building saturated
with disiniectants.
The funeral procession OF the dead
started from engine house 40, az the
corner Of Cottage Grove avenue and
Fortv-sixth street, and was uuder the
direction OF Col. Rice. 10 the process
sion were army officers on duty az the
Fair, a company Of fifty Columbian
Guards and ten sergeants, commanded

aud details from the departments. Be
sides citizens there were the civic Socie-
ties In which the dead had membership.
The Exposition furnished music and
carriages for the occasion Marcus A
Farwel, President Of the lakewood
Cemetery Association, donated lot In
which the bBdies were buried. The
procession went first To the Holy Cross
Church at Sixty-siXth street and Mary

by the Rev Father HiSheu, and then
proceeded to the cemetery, where
Protestant services were held. Burton
