1t should be distinctly understood that
the names in the list of persons believed
to have been identified as among the
dead, are those of several who are only
believed to have been identified. The
list therefore, is subject to revision.
Among the articles picked up in the
ruins was a ring inscribed "Fedinand d.
Orleans-Sophie de Baviere,'' the names
of the Duke and Duchesse d. Alencon,
doubtless the betrothal ring of Her High
ness, the Duchesse d Aleneon. A silver
watch, attached to gold brooch, was
also recognized as the property of the
Duchesse The body of the Duchesse,
however, has not been found. The houses
in the vicinity of the scene of the dis
aster are being carefully searched in the
hope that the Duchesse is only injured
and is being tended at some private resi-
dence.
Up to daybreak, the Due d Alencon
refused to quit the scene and only went
home after daybreak because he was
physically incapable of further exertion.
The Queen of Naples and other relatives
of the missing Duchesse sat up all night
long at the hotel of the Due d Alencon
on the Avenue Friedland awaiting news.
al
was in constant communication with. the
Prefect of Police, who forwarded to him
the names of the identified dead and those
of the injured. The President also de-
spatched orderly officers everywhere to
inquire into the condition of the injured,
and, hearing that a number of the latter
had been taken to the Hospital Beaujon,
the President at ten o'clock proceeded
there to console them.
In the court yard of the hospital Presi-
dent Faure met the surgeons who were
attending the injured and thanked them
for their devotion. Nine. F'loez, the wife
of the Spanish Consul, expired just as
President Faure reached her bedside.
An extraordinary Cabinet meeting will
be held this evening as a result of the
fire.
Many tales of despair are told. Nine
Foulard was saved by her husband, who,
SO soon as he had placed her in safety,
dashed back to the burning building in
order to save his daughter. He had
clasped the girl in his arms and had
nearly reached the door when they were
caught in the flames and father and
daughter perished before the eyes of the
agonized mother.
The Baron de Mackau had a similar
experience Seven times he penetrated
the flaming ruins in search of his sister
each time to save another and only to
see his sister, later, fall before his eyes
When he no longer had strength to lift
her.
The Marquise de L Aigle was rescued
by fireman at the moment she had
given herself up for lost. All her friends
had fallen around her and she was on
her knees. awaiting death in prayer, when
fireman caught her up and succeeded
in extricating her alive, but frightfully
burned.
s Several Sisters of Charity are known
10 De among the dead and injured The
latter 1t is now stated, also include the
The Vicomtesse de Lueay.
The Marquisse de Lubersac.
Nine Rafaelli. wife of the well known
painter, whose whole face is burned but
whose eyes have escaped injury.
Mile. Rafaelli. daughter of the painter
whose arms are burned and whose body
is covered with bruises.
The ladies who succeeded in escaping
rushed shrieking madly into the court
yards of adjoining houses, wildly be-
seeching help. 1t was noticed that in
many cases their underclothing was on
fire, while their dresses were practically
untouched by the flames
The fact that the faces and heads Of
the victims were so horribly charred and
disfgured is explained by the fact that
the capes worn were generally of flimsy
material and were the first articles of ap-
parel to catch fire.
The MarQuise Lubersac is in critical
condition. Nine. MathieuIle had her
