NEW YORK. July 3.-Records from the
morgues in Hoboken and from this city.
show that at least SO bodies have been re-
covered from the fire which destroyed
the Lloyd line piers and steamers
Bodies are or have beel- at the differ
ent morgues as follows: O'Donnells,
Hoboken. "A: Hollman's. %: Bellevue. u.
This was as the list stood this morning
when three more bodies had been found
and sent to o'Donnen's and nine more
had been taken to Hoffmsn's.
There is still. and there will be for many
days. much uncertainty as to the number
of the missing. The survivors from the
burned steamships were mustered at the
offices of the line IL Hoboken yesterday
and when heads we're counted it was seen
that the original estimate made by Gus
tRve Schwab manager of the line, that
there were at least 100 dead. was not far
out Of the way. But the number of rel
atives or friends of the longshoremen,
who called at the morgues in Hoboken
yesterday to make enquiries. swelled the
list OF missing and from this IL was
thought that the number might reach as
high as 10 and perhaps geo.
A sad procession found its way down 10
the Hamburg American line pier this
morning and boarded the steamboat Geoi &c
Starr which was waiting there They
were some of the survivors Of the burned
steamships. who were on their way to the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and on which
they were to take passage home. There
were 13j men from the Bremen. 81 from
the Main. and 1O1 from the Saale. There
were also among them three women from
the stewards departments Of the steam
ships. Some Of the men had their faces
and hands in bandages. All of them wore
new clothes for they had had no time to
save any Of their belongings. The line
paid them OF yesterday
More stories were afiOat today about the
alleged inhumanity Of tuEbOat men. Most
of them were set dowa TO OveTheated
Imagination or lack of knowledge Of Eng
