CONTINUED FROM FIRsTPAGR
EXPLOSION.

| The last one of the victims of the
Delaware Pulp Works disaster was
found this morning where it had
been buried under the pile of debris.
The body found this morning was
that of Joseph Hutton. Hutton was
a fireman in the digestor depart
ment and resided at No. $40 Seventh
avenue. The body was in terrible
state, principally due to the acids.
1t was removed at once to the
lnorgue.
This brings the Total of dead up to
seventeen. 1t is claimed that all of
the employees are now accounted for
and no other bodies are thought to
be under the wreck.
OF the injured all are reported to
be getting along as we'll as could be
expected today. Thomas Reese at
No. 22O Jefferson street is said to be
the only one of the injured who is
III a serious condition and he is inn
proving slowly. His skull was
fractured. John White at Front and
Union streets is much improved.
Both of the above injured men are
being attended by Dr.. James H.
Mo.gan. John Collins, who is at
the Homeopathic Hospital will be
able to leave that institution in a
few days.
Now that all the bodies have been
found and removed from the wreck,
the workman will be able to make
better progress towards cleaning
away the debris. All of the heavy
pieces were removed from off the
pile of wreckage yesterday by the
P. w. & B. Railroad Company's
wrecking crane and this will make
the work on the men much easier.
Every available employee the com.
pany has was put to work this morn
ing. Much more was accomplished
this morning than yesterday as the
men now have no fear Of mutilating
the dead bodies of their fellow
workmen while they are removing
the wreckage.
A number Of carts are at work IN
hauling the debris away as It is re-
moved from where the old buildings
stood several days ago. All of this
debris is being dumped at the pres
ent time being back of the plant.
Officials of the Company are still
retricent regarding the affair.
Many reasons for the explosion
have been advanced but the ex-
act cause will no doubt ever be
known. 1t is understood that 1t has
been the custom to close down the
plant for week or so every year to
clean out the digestors. The works
also run night and day except Sun
days.
Officials of the Company and
everyone who were at the scene ON
Wednesday afternoon shortly after
the explosion highly praise the DO
lice and the Phoenix Ambulance and
also the firemen for services rend-
