A deadly feud is said to exist between the leaders of the hostile bands, part of whom are reported to have deserted and are attempting to re-enter Bulgaria, and much anxiety is felt here with regard to the outcome of these developments. The American legation here has not yet received news from M Gargiulo. the dragoman of the legation, who left SaIonika for the il terior the latter part Of last month with the purpose of meeting Miss Stones captors, and says the rumors of Miss Stones release are quite un. founded.

Last Victim of Bethany Fire Taken
 From Ruins.

The body of Miss Mary Peck, whos was burned to death in the disastrous fire in Bethany Saturday morning, was found in the ruins yesterday morning about s o'clock by two of the search CTS, who had been at work but few minutes. The body was frightfully burned, in many places some of the bones being bare. It was chalred from head to foot and, of course, unrecog- nizable. The body was found very near the spot where her father was pulled from the ruins, and it's condi- ton formed marked contrast to thah of the body of the latter. Rev Mir Peck's remains were found Saturday evening in fair state of preservation, the head being the only part of the body that was badly burned Tue rest of the body was scorched ahl seemed to have been protected by clothing. The remains of the daugh- ter Were searched for until a late hour Saturday night, but owing to the heat that arose from the spot in which her body was thought to be those who had volunteered their services as searchers were obliged to give up their hunt after searching for some little time. The body of Miss Peck was wrapped up in blankets and taken to the home of Tyler Davidson, a neigh, Dor and an old friend of the family.
 The searching for the body of Miss Peck began yesterday morning early, almost as soon as the day broke. and it continued for some time before the body of the unfortunate young woman was found. The young men, neigh bors of the unfortunate victims. offered their services after time. and it was they who found the body of Miss Peck Miss Peck's body was found in the middle of the house under pile of debris and immediately after it was seen the town medical examiner Dr W. J. Barker, was called and he gave a verdict according to the facts. as he did in the case Of Miss Peck's father.
