Victims.
New Yonx, Sept. 10.-Twenty-eight men
,employed by the direction of Mr. Hale re
rsmedl search for the bodies of those who
.;had perished in the Thirty-fifth street fire.
They commenoed where they had left off on
Baturday at the inner side, in the mass that
filled the space occupied by the stable in the
northeast wing of the main factory, fronting
on Thirty-sixth street. This heap varied in
depth from ten t, fifteen feet, and was co.m
posed of bricks, charred beams, planks and
twisted bars of iron. The process was neee
.rlily slow. $Three bodies wore found and
taken to the Morgue. The digging was con
tinued until 0 o'clock, when nearly the whole
area of the stable had been uncovered.
It is believed that other remains will ib
found. The work will he resumed this morn
ing. The mass in which all the remains were
found was composed principally of fine char
coal and bricks. The persons whose bosies
were found must have boen sufflixater by the
glowing coals, for their position indicates
that the men had been overcome by heat in
one of the upper stories of the building and
had fallen through with the floors.
At the police station about forty persons
called, expecting to be able to identify the re
mains, but after one glance they turned hope
lessly away. Mr. Oumbinger, father of John
Gumbinger, one of the missing men, wan
,dered about the ruins and was present when
the horrid bodies wore exhumed. Peter Mauk,
brother of Nicholas Mauk, another varnisher
who Is missing, was also on the ground.
The examination of the remains will be
made to-day to determine whether there are
four bodieos instead of three, the question
being raised by the fact that what are sup
posed to be the remains of one man may be
those of two men. The six missing men are
John (lumbinger, Albert Bisch, Albert See,
(leo. Greb, John Keontch and Nicholas Mauk.

The Memphis Cotton Report.
MFMPRIs, Sept. 10.--The cotton report for
the month of August is derived from 163 re
sponuses from North Mississippi, Arkansas
and West Tennessee. Aside from the appear
ance of caterpillars, the very favorable
weather which has prevailed the past month
ha8 materially improved the condition of the
cotton crop. Of the (lamage already and to
be done by the caterpillars it is impossible, at
this early date after their appearance, to form
an opinion, as fully two-thirds of the re
sponses had ieen mailed before the appear
anice of the worms; but, to say the least, the
prthsont evidences would seem to Indicate
very great damage to the crop by them.

THE. RWOMUIANIANM.
They Will Pight, bult with the Courage
of Despair.
[New York Times.]
The Roumanian officers are quite re
signed and ready for anything. They
are perfectly convinced that they have
no mercy to expect from their enemy
should they fail alive into his hands.
All who have anything to leave have
already made their wills, and the ma
jority have provided themselves with
poison, in order to escape by death from
the cruel martyrdom which they know
too well will be their fate if they are
taken prisoners. They will fight
bravely, we may be sure, but it will be
without epthusiasm and with the cour
age of despair. Perhaps one of the rea
sons for their despondency arises from
the cabals of some of the natives against
the Surgeon General Davila, a
French physician, who, during the last
four and twenty years, has devoted all
his energy and talents, both of which
are remarkable, to the organization of
military and civil medical service of the
principality. Scarcely ever in America,
certainly nevdr in Europe, have I seen
a more complete organization of the
ambulance service, whose arrange
ments, even in their minutest details,
are simply perfection. But Davila is a
foreigner, and therefore a subject for
the jealousy of the aboriginal amateurs
and doctors who have volunteered
themselves to the Red Cross service,
and who are in constant-conflict with
the regularly-constituted authorities,
as not unfrequently the case with
our own Sanitary Commission. 1
The chief of one ambulance at Crajova,
where there are no patients, gives in his
resignation because Davila wants med
icines which are actually needed at the
front. The honorary president of the
association, Prince Ghika, sustains the
civilian against the soldier, the Prince
Charles backs up his officer, the jour
nals of the opposition take up the cry
against the "tyranny of the government
officials," and almost before a single
wounded man has been brought back
from the field everything connected
with the service of the hospitals has
been thrown into such confusion that
when patients do begin to arrive there
will scare Sly be a surgeon to operate or
a nurse to dress their injuries.
THE BOSITIONm OF THE 1UM5IANs.
[New York Times.]
The Russians occupy a triangle, with
their left at Pyrgos, their right at Nik
opolis, and their extreme apex at Tir
nova. The composition and disposi
tion of this is as follows:
The Twelfth Corps, commanded by
the Czarowitz, who has his headquarters
at Kadi Keni, on the right bank of the
Lom, is composed of the Twelfth Di
vision at Pyrgos and the Thirty-third
Division at Solamik. The Thirteenth
Corps, composed of the Thirty-fifth
Division, has its left in communication
with the thirty-third Division west
of Solamik, and the First Di
at Osikova. The Eleventh Corps,
at Kodzabunar, covers the communica
tions between Blela and Tirnova with
the Eleventh Division, and, with the
Fourteenth Division, commands the
route from Tirnova to Gabrova; its 4
headquarters are at Drenova. The
Ninth Division occupies Selvi, opposite
Lovdscha. The Thirtieth Division and
the First Brigade of the Thirty-second
Division, under Gen. Schackosky, hold 4
the ground south of Paradim, with
headquarters at'Tepeva. Gen. Krudener,
with the Ninth Corps, will move from
Paradim and Creta on the Turkish left
wing at Plevna. The Third and Fourth
Divisions of the Roumanian army will
form the extreme right of the Russian
attack.
