revised list Of the dead by reason Of
the New Richmond cyclone, including
the deaths in the st. Paul hospitals
contains the names Of 100 victims Of
the war Of the elements. The predic-
lions that large numbers of dead
would be found In the basement Of the
Ward Williams store, in the basement
OF the Alliance store and beneath the
I ruins OF the other large mercantile es-
taD l y y We're mot borne out. The
basement Of the Williams store was
cleaned out and no bodies were found.
The debris was cleared away from the
Alliance store and it was found that
the floor had withstood the pressure
and. the Basement, with whatever
goods had been stored there, was In
aict. And sso@with the other business
blocks The work was pressed rapid
y. There were plenty Of men. more,
In fact, than could be probably en-
ployed In this work, and a. careful
search was made Of every point where
1t was expected or likely that further
victims of the storm would be found.
The only result was the discovery Of
the body Of Thomas Martin, the bar
Der. The ruins of his own shop had
Eeen searched on Wednesday without
result. Yesterday morning the debris
of the adjoining buildings was over
hauled and Martins body was found
beneath the mass. 1t is conjectured
that his body was carried to the point
where it was found by the cyclone, for
he was known to have been in his
shop when it struck. In the afternoon
efforts were directed to the debris Just
north of the Richmond bank, where
City Clerk Hughes thought
The Body of His Son
Willie would be found. The search
was successful. These We're the only
two bodies recovered during the day,
and it is probable that the awful list
is about completed. About noon the
sluice gates in the dam We're opened
to drain the millpond, where, it is
thought, that some bodies may be-
found. The waters of the pond rushed
out i'll raging torrent, but the river
is so swollen by the recent ana con-
tinued rains that not much impression
was made upon the confined waters of
the pond, and it will be some time be-
fore 1t can be drained. Tor is it likely
that very many bodies will be discov-
cred when it is. Time enough has
elapsed for the reporting of the miss
ing of the whole district, and the
list of the missing is comparatively
small and almost balanced by the list
of unidentified dead. DR.. Epley has
some charred bones that he says are
those Of an infant, perhaps year old,
and no one seems to know whose baby
it may have been.a Probably the moth
er is amonk the injured and has not
yet been able to make inquiries about
her child. Yesterday the plump lit
tie arm of another baby, probably less
than a year old, was found near the
railroad tracks and taken to tine Con-
gregational church, where it brought
forth many an exclamation of pity
and distress from those who saw it. 1t
may be part of a dismelnbered body
whose head was found Wednesday.
One of the most heartrending features
of the calamity is the difficulty of sat
isfactory Identification of loved ones
which has confronted. the bereaved.
This is especially the case where the
bodies We're reached by fire.

SOME MID NHIIE NEN. Strange Stories of Derelicts in Australia Who Preceded
 Louis de Rougement. AN ESCAPED CONVICT. William Buckley Lived for Thirty two Years as Chief of a Tribe
 of Aborigines.
IN ESCAPED CONVICT.

He Had Alnstt Forgotten His Native Lam
 ssste=1z-zu or Eng ngTTshman Who Lived
 With the Blacks for Seventeen Years
 Tho stranRs Adventures of a French
 Cabin Boy.
 The meteoric appearance of Louis de Rougemont, with a marvellous story of hitherto unheard-of adventures during an alleged residence of some thirty years with the blacks of Northern Aus tralia, revives recolIections of the wild white men" that from time to time have fallen into the hands of the un- civilized Australian aborigines and been restored to white humanity after long years Of separation and degrada- tion.
 The first recorded wild white man was William Buckley. native of Mac clesheld, and at the close of the last century a soldier in the 4th, or Kings Own, Regiment. On December 24 1902, in company with six other soldiers, he was involved in an attempt on the life of the Duke of Kent. He was sen- fenced to transportation for life and taken out in a convict-ship to the An tipodes. During a brief stay at the head of what is now the harbor of Mel bourne he contriyed to escape in com pany with two other conycts. The latter perished-how was never aseer- tained-and when Buckley was subse- quently questioned as to their fate he was exceedingly retieent and discon- eerted. That it was case of cannibal- ism was the general belief of the early settlers around Melbourne. Anyhow. in the last stages of hunger and privation, Buckley lay down upon what proved to be the grave of a recently buried chief. Luckily for him the widow came along, and superstitiously concluded that her dear departed had returned to life in the shape of white man. She prompt ly annexed him as her own, led him to the camp of the blacks, exclaimed the circumstances under which she had found him, and secured his admission as chief of the tribe, position for which he was physically well qualified as he was man of great stature G feet { inehes), strength and endurance.
 For the next thirty-two years Buck ley led the life of a savage, hunting fishing, and fighting with the tribe that adopted him. It was on July F, 1885 that he saw 2 white face for the first

Fixing THE BLAME
Commissioners Would Ignore
the Trustees Report.
Inspector Brady at Last Making an
Investigation.
The Plumbing in the Grant School
Building Is in n Deplorabic
Condition.

No progress has been made in the way
of placing the blame and fixing the re-
sponsibility for the bad workmanship and
faulty construction of the johnson and
other local public school buildings report
ed upon by special investigating commit
tee of the Board of School Trustees. As
far as official action is concerned, the mat
ter remains In statu quo. The report is
being tossed back and forth by the Com
missioners like a hot coal and as though
il were very much too warm for the hands
of those whose fortune, or misfortune, il
has been to handle the document.
The report was forwarded by the Secre-
1ary of the Board OF School Trustees to the
District Commissioners for such action as
they might deem proper. At the District
Building II remained in a pigeonhole for
two days, and then, after sufficient notes
had been extracted. il was discovered that
the report was unsigned. The Commits
fioners could not OF course, take any Off
cial cognlzance OF report containing such
amazing statements. and of so anonymous
a character, so they referred il back to
the Board of School Trustees for the prop
er signature. The report is now in the
hands of the latter body and will be signed
and returned to the Commissioners as
speedily as is possible.
While all this is being done John B.
Brady, District Inspector OF Buildings,
whose department is directly and vitality
concerned in the allegations of the school
investigating committee, is quietly visit
ing the badly defective schools and COM
pairing alleged faults with the faults them
selves which stare one in the very face.
The District Commissioners very consist
entity refuse TO be quoted upon the matter
until they have received the report of the
Inspector OF Buildings, and the latter gen.
tlemsn is following a similar course
In the meanwhile the public is interest
ing itself in the matter and many persons
are expressing themselves in very caustiC
terms upon the entire matter.

EXPLOSION OF GAS.
Electric Lighting Conduit Torn Up
at Fifteenth and ID Streets.

Considerable excitement was caused at
a few minutes after o'clock yesterday
evening by an explosion in the electric
lighting conduit on Fifteenth Street, at
the corner of d Street northwest. The
noise of the explosion was heard for
distance of several blocks and attracted
large crowd to the scene. Fortunately
at the time 1t occurred there were no
persons passing in the street else serious
personal injury may have resulted.
The explosion was caused, it is thought
by the igniting of accumulated gases in
the conduit from a wire on which the in
sulation was defective. There was no
escape for the gas and an explosion and
consequent upheaval followed. As re-
suit there is large hole in the sidewalk
in Fifteenth Street. The hole is about
twenty feet long and four feet in diameter.
| Workmen were put to work Immediately
| after the explosion to repair the damage.
