! CINCINNATI, May 5.-After the explo
sion last night, that demolished the bis
five-story building on Walnut street, re-
lays OF workmen continued removing the
! debris till almost noon, when everybody
was ordered from the premises and Wal
nut street between Fourth and Fifth
streets was kept clear.
Holes had been made in the walls of the
adjoining buildings. through which to ex-
| tricate victims. A great mass of debris
| supported these walls, and its removal
caused the adjacent walls to bulge out
so that great calamity has been momen-
! tarily expected from both sides of the
Wreckage. When the street cleaning force
and the fremen were ordered away ii
was believed that there were several per-
sons still in the debris, and some of them
allVe, but the engineers agreed with the
building inspector that loss of life to the
workmen was Inevitable if they proceed
CD. Braces We're put up against the walls
and scaffolds were quickly constructed.
The work of tearing down the adjacent
walls is progressing with all possible
speed tonight.
Meantime, those still in the debris had
to be
LEFT TO THEIR FATE,
and no more are likely to be taken out
alive. There have been eight dead re-
covered up to 10 o'clock tonight and
seven still are missing. There were
many more included in the list of those
missing during the day, but those who are
sun missing tonight are generally believed
TO be in the ruins. The names of all
missing persons have been so generally
published that those not belonging in that
list promptly reported to police head
quarters. Inquiries have been made at
the residences of those still missing and
there has been nothing seen or heard of
them for over twenty-four hours.
