NUMBER OF DEAD
IS UNKNOWN
Ruins of Explosion Are SfiH
Burning.
MANY sIcKENING SCENES

New York, Oct. 3l-The exact
number of lives lost in tie terrible
explosion of the Tarrant drug
house, which wrecked nearly two
city blocks, will never be known.
Hundreds of tons of steel, stone,
lum Der and other debris have so
crushed the forms of the victims
that when the mangled remains
are found it is difficult to deter
mine whether it is the corpse of
one or more persons. A woman's
skull was found this morning but
the remainder of the body could
not be discovered. In another
case five pieces of human body
were picked up, and as they We're
found near together they were
labelled as one body.
The debris left by the explosion
is still smouldering, and half
dozen streams of water are kept
playing on the patches of fire
which break out internationally in
different parts of the ruins. The
workmen are unable, on account
of the great heat, to penetrate
their way into the ruins.

that if they hold out to the end of
the year they will receive foreign
help.
