1.-The r. b.. Grover Coinpnt,y's shoe factory,
search was abandoned at II o'clock to-
| night BY the small army Of volunteers af-)
ter thrty-seven hours of constant toll. &
Although the police and Medical Exc
anlner Paine feel sure that they have re-
moved from the debris all remains. which
wore not reduced to ashes, a second search
| shortly will be instituted TO satisfy rela-
lstives and friends of the victims. The lit
tile band OF persons who have besieged
ithe morguo since the first body was taken
| from the ruins, reluctantly turned their
steps honeward tonight, satisfied that
itall that remained Diminishing ones occu-
ipied the pine boxes inscribed unknown
| Ats midnight for the first time since yes
terday Dr. Paine and his assistants re-
NAMED alone with the Unidentified dead.
Bodies Recovered.
The revised list as given out by the
police at go O clock Tonight was az
\ follows: Bodies recovered, 50; identified,
Ia; missing, 40; reported as escaped, 2s3
LIT now seems probable that but fourteen
will be buried with their identity positive
lly established An inquest will be held
shortly
Tho day saw the first movement on
| the part OF the workmen III trades similar
! to that pursued by the victims Of the dis
aster to raise a relic fund for the be-
reaved families. It Is expected that sew
| eral thousand d liars will be subscribed.
For the first time; since the fatal EEK
plosion RACED the shoe factory Of r. b.
Grover and Company. the city to-night
seemed to fully realize the enormtty Of
the calamity. This has been brought about
by; the positive identlficatons by bits of
clothing or otherwise q of several bodies
and the failure toSretuln home of those
who, had they arrived. must before this,
have sought their friends.
Many Nc / dentihe!d.
| "A snow-storm that early to-day covered
the ;wreckage tonight turned into rain,
but Drawing the elements. groups Of men,
women and children gathered at the
morgue, hoping againstfahope that the
chance discovery Of a bit of familiar
clothing or object Of personal belong
ling would lead to- the Identification Of
their dead. At he ruins IA hundred men,
drenched ito the skin,sttoiled INCREASINGLY
amid the half burned timbers for fras-
ments of 81 flesh and bone, which. when
found We're hurried to the morgue to be
scanned by those waiting there.
j That the II fty47 five dead represent the
total number OF victimi5sI mo one familiar
/ with the disaster believes II. IS extremely
doubtful, however. that more than frag-
\ mentary pieces Of other bodies will ever
lbe found. Medical Examiner Paine said
Tonight that he believed other bodies had
been reduced to ashes, and that the num-
Eber of3tvictims might never be positively
known He did not believe that further
identiflcationsTof the charrcd remains at
/ the n,orgue were probable. Every body
iwhichsShad on + any trinkct or piece OF
Iclothing has been more or less positive
lya identified. Remains which have been
placed lin boxes and marked unknown,
/ are In such a state that there is no pos
stbility OF their being recognized.
