 Brockton, Mass, March 21.-Satis- fled that t!.ere was no chance of re- covering additional bodies from the ruins of the R. B. Grover companys shoe factor:-, the search was aban- doned at II o'clock tonight by the small army of volunteers after thirty seven hours of constant toil- Although the police and Medical Examiner Paine feel that they have removed from the debris al! the remains which were not reduced to ashes a second search, shortly will be instituted to satisfy the relatives and friends of the victims The little band of persons who have besieged the morgue since the first body was taken from the ruins reluct- antly turned their steps homeward to- night satisfied that all that remained of the missing ones occupied pine boxes inscribed unknown
 At midnight for the first time since yesterday Dr. Paine and his assistants remained alone with the unidentified dead. The revised list as given out by tho police at 11:30 o'clock tonight was as follows: Bodies recovered 55; iden- tified 14; missing 45; reported as escaped 2S3. It now seems probable that but fourteen bodies will be bur led with their identity positively es- tablished. An inquest will be held shortly.
 This dry saw the first movement on the Da-t of the workmcn tn trades similar to that pursued by victims of the disaster to raise q relief fund for bereaved families. It is expected that several thousand dollars will be sub scribed.
 At the ruins tonight hundreds of men drenched to the skin by the rain toil- cd unceasingl-, amid the half burned timbers for fragments of flesh and bone which when found were hurried to the morgue to be scanned by those awaiting there. That fifty-five dead represent the total number of victims no one familiar with the disaster be- lieves. It is extremely doubtful how ever. thct more than fragmentary pieces of thn other bodies will ever be found
