nat at the time Of the explosion she was
counted among the dead, but her body was
reached shortly before midnight and she
was found to be still alive. She was suffer-
ing intense pain, and all of the efforts of the
workmen failed to rescue her. Up to 1880
they have been able to talk to her for over
an hour while she remained pinioned under
a heavy beam.
Jack Mccarthy. Peter Burns and Charles
Tilley-were taken out of -he ruins about
midnight, but it is feared that none of them
will live. AT the time of the explosion the
electric wires for the arc lights and troll
leys were torn down and there was great
demonstration of electric light. This is one
of the things which caused the stampede
in the Gibson House, as when the sound OF
the explosion heard the fash of the
electric light wires was seen in the street
1t is learned late tonight that number
of people were injured in the stampede on
Walnut street at that time, and some were
injured by coming in contact with the live
wires, but it is impossible to get the names
of any who were not SO seriously injured
as to be taken to the hospital.
Mr. Noland Davit. of Hamilton, who was
killed by the explosion, married we'll
known young lady at Newport about two
months ago. Mccarthy, Burns and Tfley
were rescued by digging through one Of the
walls of and adjacent building. 1t is. how
ever. impossible to resuce Mrs. Drach even
in this manner. At 1890 this morning they
furnished her something to drink. and are
providing for her as best they can. Her feet
are under an immense beam and are prob
ably crushed. It may be necessary to am
putate them in order to save her life. All

at the ruins. The police commissioners are
there in charge of their department. to-
gether with Chief Deitsch, and the fire COM
missioners are with Chief Archibald. The
street cleaning department is out in force. at
work on removing the debris and hauling it
away. and good engineers are On hand super
intending the handling of the heavy timbers.
Cal Grim, who was supposed to be among
the victims, turned up all right tonight,
and the detective will continue his work in
the Jackson case.
Worhmen report at 12:45 that one of Mrs.
Drach's children was certainly still alive, as
they could plainly hear it calling Mamma"
They said that the servant girl of Mrs.
Drach, name unknown was dead anc lying
by Mrs. Draeh's side. This does not, how
ever. increase the number OF those killed, as
Mrs. Drach had been included in that list
"a. m.-The workmen liberated Mrs. Drach
after / o'clock Tuesday morning, also her
little child, and they were taken to the
hospital. Her feet are badly crushed, but
she and her child will recover. The dead
body of Matte Kennedy. domestic was
recovered at the same time and taken to
the morgue The process of operation
through the holes in the adjoining walls and
foundations prove quite effectual. but even
through these channels Fricke. Lauth and
Lohede could not be reached up to o'clock
although they are known still to be in the
debris. There are only thirteen of the
injured at the City HOSPITAL. Their names
appear in the list given above. Others were
injured and taken TO their homes, and their
names and the extent of their injuries could
not be learned. 1t is thought tonight that
none of the injured will die except McCarty.
Relays of the force of workmen will con-
tinue the efforts TO clear away the debris
and find any others that may be in the
wreckage soon as possible. The work
will continue all night and until the ruins
are cleared away. There are only three
bodies at the morgue, but it is believed that
the list will be double that number.
