Fail TO Reach bedside before
Death Comes-Brief Biog-
raphy OF His Life.

indianapolis, Ind. March 14.-Gen.
Harrison died at 4:45 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon without regaining con-
seriousness. His death was quiet and
painless, there being gradual sink
ing until the end came, which was
marked by q single gasp for breath
as life departed from the body of the
great statesman. The relatives, with
few exceptions, and several OF his
old and tried friends were at the bed
side when he pasesd away. None OF
Gen. Harrison's children were pres
emit. Neither Col. Russell Harrison
nor Mrs. Mckee had reached the city,
although both were hurrying on
their way to the bedside of their
dying parent as fast as steam would
bear them.

GIRLS PERISH.
Three Bodies Found I'm Ruins of .
burned Factory at st. Jo-
seph, Mo.

St. Joseph, Mo-, March 1S.-Search of
the ruins of the Noyes-Norman fac
tory fire resulted in the finding of but
two bodies that have been identified.
They are Miss Nora Bates and Louise
Blondeau. A portion of another body,
believed to be that of woman, was
found, but there is no telling the iden-
tity of the victim, says the coroner.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced in getting at the bodies. 1t was
learned that there was but one fire
escape from the seventh floor of the
building. There were at least 25 girls
on this floor. One of the girls, who
says she was the last to leave this
floor, says there were probably five
or six other girls left behind when she
went down the fire escape, and she
thinks all persisted.
