THE BODIES RE MOVED.

1t was nearly 8 O'Clock yesterday after
noon when the pit at the gasometer on
Westfield street was sufficiently clear of
gas to permit men to go down 1t and take
out the bodies of the five men that had
been there suffocated. The digging up
of the street, the breaking OF pipes, and
the putting on OF covers at the end of the
pipes that had gas in them was a long
and tedious job. or course there was not
the slightest chance from the start of
rescuing any of the men, for death must
have come TO them very quickly, owing
To the large amount of gas that belched
into the pit.
Superintendent Beasley stated, while
the work of digging in the street was 60
ing on, that he notified the men who
went into the pit to be very careful, and
II they smelt any escaping gas to at once
leave IT, and have the gas shut off from
the street. According to the story of the
one man who got out of the pit alive. all
were so suddenly overcome by the inn
mense influx Of the death dealing stuff
that they could not follow the instruc-
tions given them.
Although IL is said that in other place
there is no shut-on within a gasometer
there is considerable comment upon such
being the case here. The Providence
Gas Company has always been liberal in
dealing with those who have received in
JaatNo az tAo dhN IL 20 btliCEtu
that its dealings in this case will be no
exception to the rule heretofore carried
out.
Superintendent Livsey had charge OF
the taking of the dead men fro the pit,
and the men who did the worL w e from
among those that had been d., ginr up
the street. When the men frs, sta ted
for the pit their movements wer, slow,
and they acted as IL they, too, were going
to their death in the same trap. The
four men crept slowly down the stairs, al
the foot of which was the body of Charles
McManus. They soon had the lifeless
form upon the floor above, and then
started for the pit again with more vigor,
and in less than 10 minutes all five of the
bodies were recovered.
DIR. Palmer examined all of them and
found but few bruises.
The bodies and garments of the dead
men were somewhat stained with red
putty, such as 10 used by the company in
making joints. There was but little dis
coloration upon the faces of either OF
them.
The bodies were\taken to the morgue,
where they were called COR by different
undertakers during the early part of the
evening.

New Policemen.

Yesterday IL men who had a strong de-
sire to become policemen were ordered
by police surgeon Palmer to report at the
Central. station at 10 O'Clock this morning
for examination. Twelve responded, hut

Child and DIR. Palmer, who formed the

FINANCIAL NE WS.
Atchison Will Haul Corn for
Two Years.
London Likely to Turn Buyer al Any
Moment.
Special to The News.


NEW YORK, Sept. 5--There Is no
doubt that the bulk Of corn is past all
danger, and moderate frosts will not in
Jure the crop in any section of the coun-
try. Farmers in Kansas and Missouri
have had more perfect season for corn
than those farmers Of other states. There
10 no doubt that the yield in Kansas and
Missouri will exceed anything in the pre-
vious history OF these sections. The Atch-
ison will be taxed TO its utmost capacity
and Will, notwithstanding the pressure
that will be put on it by freight. be una
bic to have the matured crops of 1895 In
more than Is months. The most conser-
vative agree that Atchison will have all
the business IL can attend to for nearly
two years to come.
There was more realizing in the Grang-
ers yesterday, and some short selling. So
far as ST. Paul is concerned, London ID
likely TO turn buyer at any moment, be-
cause ST. Paul, unlike 9. Il. & O., and
Rock Island, Is certain to derive material
benefits from the business of the next
three months, and its earnings ought TO
be phenomenal, comparing as they do
with the small earnings of last year. The
fact that Mr.. Armour has always been
very bullish in his public uiterances about
the time he sold st. Paul on a sharp ad-
vance, leads many to believe the report
that 1t Is his stock, and not London hold

The Sugar dividend may be expected
any day, The demand for refined has
been delayed this year unusually late and
the American company is understood to
have disposed of about $50, 600 barrels OF
the $50, 600 ii had on hand. This is the
best time in the Sugar year, and within
the next 40 days the largest business OF
the II months should be done.
GENERAL FINANCIAL NOTES.
London prices are all higher his morn
ing, some as much as 7-S per cent.
Joseph says: "The tobacco bluff is TO
be played for rather more than IL is
worth. The reckless plug tobacco men
are short of American tobacco but the
fact will not prevent them making an
