ST. pAv1Ds LENTEN SERVICES.

Rev. Henry l.. Jones, D. D.. pastor
Of st. Stephens church. Wilkes-Barre.
delivered the sermon in St. David's
Episcopal church last evening. His
text was taken from Paul's epistle to
the PHILIPPIANS, iii:13. His remarks
were directed against people who in
life take only one idea, and let this
idea predominant. The speaker brought
out in very clever manner the reason
why people who are connected with the
church as we'll as those of the world
should not allow one specific thing to
occupy the entire attention Of their
lives. for by thus doing they imperil
not only themselves, but others.
The services We're we'll attended, and
We're very impressive. Preaching SER
vices will also be held tomorrow even
ing, when Rev. Mr.. Griffiths. of Ply
mouth. will speak. The rector Rev. r.
J. McHenry, is assisting in the SER
vices.

TWENTY-SIX ARE
 UNACCOUNTED FOR Number of Supposed Victims Of the New York Disaster NO BODIES so FAR FOUND Investigation Being Pushed by Author ities-Tarrant & Company Said to
 Have Violated the Law
 The Insurance Side

New York, October 31.-A revision made tonight of those persons missing and thought to have perished in the explosion and fire at Tarrant & Co.'S drug house, shows twenty-six unaccounted for. Of this number four not known at the ad- dresses given by the persons reporting them as missing. Out of the whole num- Der, eight are put down by the police as employees of Tarrant & Go.
 Not single body had up to ten o'clock tonight been found in the ruins, though what looked like parts of bodies have been dug out. It begins to look as if what re- mains are in the mass of debris. which ! still cumbers the place will be totally un- recognizable as being of human compost ton, even should the workmen find them. It Is because of the tremendous heat caused by the explosion and the fire and the fusing of materials which, running to- gether, form a mass of all sorts of stuf For instance what was supposed to be parts of bodies taken from the ruins last night turned out to be blackened pieces of melted gum arabic Again today an- other mass was found which the worhmen first thought to be human flesh, but is now thought to be melted rubber. The search CTS have found in the ruins of the Home made Hotel a number of articles such as books, furniture, cigar holders, etc., but whether their owners escaped is not known. The authorities are pushing the investiga- tion as to the amount of explosives stored in the buildings, with view to prosecu- ton.
 Secretary Doughty of the Fire Depart ment, in speaking of the cause of the ex- plosion, said today:
 "The combustibles carried by Tarrant S Co., were largely in excess of what were allowed them under law, and their per init granted by the Fire Department, and the fact is that they violated the law According to the permit they have com mitted msdemeanor, which not only viti- ates their insurance policies, but renders them criminally liable and responsible for the damage to life and property. The in- surance companies cannot be held for the damages"
