NORMAL SCHOOL VICTIMS.

Dunkirk, y. y, Dee. 1s.-Bodies of
five more victims of the Normal school
fire were recovered yesterday, max.
ing six that have been taken from the
ruins. Those found yesterday were
charred beyond recognition, as was
the one previously recovered. Work
men, while removing debris, found the
five bodies at the foot of fire escape.
They were piled across each other and
burned beyond recognition.
A ring On the finger Of one of the
bodies gives hope that il may be
identified, but there is nothing by
which the others can possibly be dis
tinguished. II is proposed that all be
buried in one grave and that it be
marked by one monument. to be
placed in the Fredonia cemetery in
memory of the victims.
District Attorney Greene and Cor
oner Blood will begin a rigid inyesti-
cation at once, which will inquire into
ell matters connected with the struc-
ture OF the building and the fire.
