MORE BODIES IN THE RUINS.
TWO FOUND. AND OTHERS MAY BE THERE
t* 1 NFS AROFND THE DEATHTRAP IN CHRYSTIE
ST.?DID A STOVE CAUSE THE FLAMES!
Men. women nnd children vestordti.v hung around
the scene of the fearful fire in Chrystie-st., some
f.-aring what Hie day would bring forth; others,
the vast majority, being brought lhere from mor?
bid curiosity. Policemen guarded tho entrance
from the Bowery nnd at the several passageway*
leading into the death-trap from Chrystie st. The
crowds lingered long, for more charred bodies had
l?een found in the morning, and'the flrenien dui nut
i.ase their search until late in the day. Two
bodies, burned beyond recognition, were found,
thus increasing the list even beyond tlie rcpoils on
the night of the fire. Vet lhere wore fewer *>cople
employed in the burned building than was at first
published One authority puts the number at
eighty, thc lowest estimate, while Abraham Stern,
the owner of thc building, believes thnt 111 people
wore at work there when the lire broke out.
Hook and Bidder Company No. M. under com?
mand of Captain Bradley, hogan their work of
searching the building yesterday at .**> a. m. Four
blackened walls, filled with charred beams, ashes,
blacked aud soaked refuse and clothing, fragmenis
of furniture, tin and iron, bent nnd twisted out
of shape; charred ceilings, dripping with water,
were the ghastly* reminders of the horrors of the
il.iv lu fore. The men slowly proceeded from story
to story, digging up nil the rubbish, carefully
examining everything. On the third floor they
found what purported to be the remains of two
hollies fearfully humed. There ww*** nothing by
which they could be iilentilled. One body was
carrioil down stairs, and on the way it fol! to pieces.
The other fragments were placed in tho passage
to the Bowery, wrapped up in a blanket, and |
later sent to the Morgue.
THE FIRE ESCAPE WAS DOWS*,
A fireman wont to the will hetwoen thc build?
ing and Hie Chrystie-st. tenement-house. Once
there wa* a iirc-esoaiK- there which extended to the
top of tlie building. The people who worked in
the building complained that it shut out the light,
and Mr. Stern had it taken down to the sec?
ond story, and placed a double fire-escape on i
the front Vet there is no moans of egress from
HM well, except, through the windows of tue ad
joininT tenemi-nt-housi-, sad how could a woman
save horst If lhal. way t The firemen found at
the foot of this lire escape the body of a woman
who had perished in the well like a rat in a trap.
Mr. Stern sn ul that one way to account for the
fearful loss of life was thut Wolf, a tenant, told
him that he begged peo]>le to go to the rear fire
escape. Some refused. Two of his rm-n went buck
for some of their proi>crty and perished. Another
cause of the loss of life was that the iron fence
Whick runs from .Simpson's building t<> the tnilor
shop prevent .il people from crossing from the
burned building. Tho building is insured for
fl 0.000 in thc Newark, and Merchants' Union
Company, of Newark But Ibo loss cannot be de?
termined until jt is decided what will be done with
the building Mr. Stern will pay the expenses of
bural for those bodies which were not Identified,
and for those also whose relatives cannot afford it.
The lop floor was OOOupied by Levien, tho next,
by Wolf, the fourth by Klein At Marks, tho third
bf i.niuft. th** second by Cohen, and the basement |
by Ibo janitor. Theil losses would be hard to
estimate. Gran ft, the man who lost his wife and
children, had his clanks insured for $400.
Amelia L. Goodman, tho housekeeper for Noll, i
who kee|is the gin-mill which fronts tho Bowery.
mid thnt she hoard a cry and rushed toward the
Stern building, ond saw flames bursting out of
the first floor. Mrs. Slovens'.n. the janitor's wife, '
lives there. She used a double oil stove, anil
Mrs. i. cod mau believes that tho lire was caused
by the stove.
WHAT EYE. WITNESSES SAW.
Dr. II. H. I-iilhon, who has a drug-store below
tin- People'! Theatre, saw a girl jump from the
tl.ird floor into the well behind Simpson's store.
Shi- was Ida Frank. A man who had been sitting
in thc window of the fourth floor waa suddenly
driven out by tho Hames. He jumi>ed, and binded
on thc girl's head, killing himself instantly and
probably fracturing the girl's skull. Ur. Luthen
and Dr. Heller holjied four or live people out of
the well und dressed their wounds in his alora.
It was denied everywhere that any man in the
adjoining tailoring establishment shut thc win- !
dows in tlie faces of people who were trying to |
p.t through. A. Schneider. William Levine,
Isidore Levien ami Abraham Simon -sll said that
thy helped everybody through who came to the
windows looking into their floors. Then they
closed ih'ir Shutters to prevent their building
from catching fire, ran to the roof und ass;-;,,)
people in Betting over the iron fence. Ibis state?
ment is bein ved to be true, nnd it is thought thnt.
fright, ignorance, greed and the rapidity wiih
whieh the tiunea spaced eauaed the wholesale
loss of lite, rather than any neglect
of people near by. The building was an old tin
dei box, aini the fire-escapes did not give as much
cid as people might imagine, because the flumes
wen beating on them. One woman in the Chrys- !
tie-el tencment-houae said that tiie iron shutters
in the tailor shop were red hot, and she womb-roil
what the condition of the fire-cse?[>es must have
been.
Coroner Levy said that the burned building
wns tho worst death-trap thnt he over raw. He
will hilve charge of tin- IBQUeet, whlcli will begin
on Mondi.y. A badge mariied " Merchandise.
No. 7'i7,">." was found near the woman who died
in tho well. Fire Marshal Frank was at the .ceiie
of the fire in tho morning, lb- would advance no
theory as to the cause of the fin.
fcCENES AT TIIE MOHGCE.
All day long groups of excited Hebrews were
going from coffin to enllin in the dingy Morgue,
end it was hard to toll which were the moro mis?
erable, those who found what they wanted or those
who did not. Sobs and moans came from those
who had found the bodies for which they had been
seeking, while the agonizing suspense of those who
could not recognise their dead was perhaps even
more pitiful. Especially was this the BSM when
friends were almost sure they had selected the right
body, and then suddenly discovered some other
one that seemed in some respects moro like.
1 lie suffering cf these bereaved people was made
even more kateaae by the wretchedly inadequate
accommodations which the city provides fur such
occasions. There gil net even a screen to keep
the flies ont of Hu- barn-like Morgue, and they
gathered in thousands upon the various bodies,
which gave forth a hideous smell. Fifteen bodies
hud boen taken from the ruined building on Fri
i.i.v ?"tiiii_*. nnd "ne moro sufferer died nt Belle
vue Hospital in the night, and two additional
bodies brought from the ruins yesterday swelled
the number to eighteen. The body of Isaiah
Sj.uni'e, who had died nt Gouvcrncur Hospital,
was not laksa to the Morgue

ran ou! Into the street without his coat, and his em?
ployes follow-d hil example, their sense of danger I,
lng quickened by the thought of tba faul fire at No.
1C7 Bowery. As the warehouse* is on high ground
tho firemen were handicapped by I scarcity of water,
and a second alarm was rung by order ol Chief Shay.
Tho Aro proved to be a stubborn one, and tho heat
and smoke kept the firemen out of the cellar foi- an
hour, but ibo flames n-cr? nol permuted lo get np to

region, about sixty miles southwest of Indianapolis,
caine In al noon to-day to call upon (ieneral Harrison.
The visitors di.] not come a* an organisation and Ihcrtv
was no attempt to make a demonstration. It was
raining heavily when they arrived In the city, and
under Mich protection as umbrellas afforded, they
were escorted to the (.(moral's house. (Ieneral Har?
rison was Informed by telephone of their arrival In
tho elly and went down to the hotel to receive them.
There was no .speech making, somewhat lo Hi" dl-ap

Reception Committee solely, as Ibo. arrangements for

there should tie no talking. The visitors were In?
troduced to General Harrison and, os usual, he shook
hands with all of them.
A notable and Mgnllb-ant demonsiratlon occurred io

upon Ihelr arrival at the depot by 400 members of the
Republican Railroad Men's club nf this elly, each
carrying a laniern, and were escorted through the
streets to (ieneral Harrison's house, a march of two

constructed Imitation of a locomotive mounted upon a
wagon drawn by eight hor-cs. It was after ? o'clock
when the delegation arriv-il at General Harri, on's resi?

A large crowd had gathered about the house, In

WHY HATTERS WILL YOTE FOR HARRISON*.
Orange people Inlerested In the hat business are
agitated over the failure of Congress lo Increase the
duty on manufactured hats, and this feeling ll In?
tensified by the fact that four of tho largest hat lob?
bing Arms In Hie count rv have planed Olden In Eng?
land for an aggregate nf over so,ooo gosse beta
Tho firms in question anv sweet. Demnstoa a co..
of Chicago, I-ongley, Low & Alexander, of 'hlcago.
Frledlander _. Kock, of San Francisco, and A. Laufer
A Co., ol this city. The loss to tho working batten
of this country by these orders alone will not fall
short of S.'iOO.OOO. The first Instalment of these
orders was received fmm England by A. Laufer A
Co. and consisted of 7-JO dooen. A manufacturing
concern In the Daddtewi dlsirlct of orange hal
heretofore filled these orders of A. Laufer .t Co..
and this season got the usual assortment ol samples
and styles. These were taken tn a block maker,
the blocks and flanges were made and the.e, to?
gether with the sample* of hats, were shipped to
England. The hats received cost, duty paid, about
|_. per dozen and cannot be duplicated here for less
than about ST10 to ifCirt per donen.
Tho knowledge ?' this action by the Jobbers ls
making vote* for Harrison and Morton In tho hatting:
districts rapidly. A Tribune reporter spent two
days In a round of the twenty elgin hat factories In
the orango district, which have _ united capacity of
about r.,(HXl dozen per week, and Hie chango In lone
of the Journeymen was remarkable. In one shop
nine men were siandlng together. Elgin were Dem
ocrals and ore wa* a Republican, but there were
/even Harrison vote, among them. In another
shop, out of turiv seven men employed Ifl the mak?
ing department forty wen* obi line Democrats ami
eight of them pledged themselves i" Harrison
This, witli the seven Republicans, nude forty Bee
out of forty-seven (ram a heretofore overwhelmingly

loki by his orderly that a wounded tiger wa. lying
app.tn? inly demi on tte; root of a li-oc. Tho oid'-il.
having called him up. li" went to the spot. Mr.
I roser then s'-nt the orderly and another man with his
sa ond gun back, and linell down to look. Just then the
User roariel, and cann* ut him fruin abeiui eighteen
(eel od. llo welted until thfl Ug'i- wa. within Bra
bel of him and lired. A.s Hie tiger did not drop, be
fited hU second shot hurriedly. The first shot had
hit exactly In the centre of Ihe face, but Josi an 1Mb
iou tow, Ii knocked Hie cgri's rs'lu eye oui, and
-mashed all the tooth of that side of the Jaw. The
leeoud shot struck Hie tiger In the chest, but too low.
What happened then Mr. Fraser does nol exactly
know, but he MX! found himself lying In from of the
Ug "? "O'* ClaW of tbe beast's right foot being hooked
Imo lils left hg. In this way trying to draw Mr. Fraser
towarda bim; tbe oilier paw was on his right leg,
Hr. Fraser's ohio ami com weis, covered with foam

self out of the User's clutches. Fortunately the
i* aM WM not able to see him, a. Mr. Fra_er was a
little to one sith* of the animal's blind skle, and the
tiger's bend was up- buddenly, seeing Mr. fraser's
orderly bolting, he jumped up and went for the man,
i ami catching lilm be killed him on th'- spot. Mr.
; Fraser had (oil hat, rifle, and ali hi- cartridges, which
, had tumbled oui of hi- pocket ile lumped ap, how?
ever, and ran io the man who had fil* second gnu,
: and to eli. so had to go within eight paces of the spot
I where the tiger waa crouching over his orderly. He
heard. In fact, the crunching of tbe man's boneo, and
! -aw the tiger biting the back of tlie head, llo now
look the gun trom his man. Tho lader said that fte
hud fired both barrels into the tiger one when he
was Broaching over Mr. Fraser, and the other when
be iva* over the prostrate body of the orderly. The
li ju had tired well amt true, but Just too far back lu
his anxiety not to lilt the mea he would save Insteal
of the tiger. When afterward asked if he was not afraid
io Mr the sahib. " I was verv much afraid Indeed." he
rc nil- tl. ?? bul dil maabUI karke (.agava: I nerved
myself for the occasion." "A good man and true:''
a hldi officer writes. " who niter firing, never moved
an Inch Ell Mr. Fraser carne to him. although close
to the iig'-r all the while. Ile l? ono of the Uawllghur
Rajputs B brave rive. Ranjll Singh, a good haine."
Th.* man tal i be had no more cartridges left, and so
Hey both gol a little further from the Hger. as tho
o: dt i ly was evidently done for. Afterward thev I
found one more cartridge fur the gun and tried t" rc
cover tbe body, hut it wa* bo use. Th" Hger was I
; lying close, iimst of tho buffaloes had bolted, and the
Kurkpoi would not help. Mr. Fraser then sent six I
mllei oif fm on elephant But the animal did not
arrive hu derk, so Hr. Fraser went home In .-rear
grief about the poor orderly and at having to leave
the leoilv. Ills own wound was lde?dlng a great ?
deal, lt brine a deep claw gash. Next dav they go! the
bod! and the tiger deed, lying close to en ii oilier. I
Perhaps no nerrowor escape than Mr. Fraser's hus
ever boon heard of. To the excellent shot which |
knocked the beast's eye om he undoubtedly owed his
life.

MIL 1 T.I Ii Y EA L J. GOS IX O.
From The London Timm Harlin Dispatch.
Today, bv -is-dal Invitation, I attended a very fe.
foresting experfnieiir In ti," selene.* of war ballooning,
which was made rn (h.* prece nee of rio- mllltsn res'
resentatlves of tbe principal European rowen, Includ?
ing Colonel Swaine, c. H., for England, and tho chief
of the lialloon Department of the Prussian Army.
The experiment, welch was held down at I
waldo, about an hour's Journey from here, on the rall
way line io Ru-sla. consisted In the demonstration nf
a new method of Inilaiiiig balloons for reconnoitring
purposes In Hmo of war, whether over ogalnel a be
sii*g-*d fortress, or In hostile territory of uneven sur?
face. The principle of thia now invention (which ls
the combined work of Ueutenant Richter, an ex ar?
tillery lieutenant of the Prussian army, and Dr.
Hajert, a young chemist of distinction) ls thal fha
Inflating gas ls produced on the spot, whenever and
wherever wanted, Inst! sd of being bottled up and car?
ried along nil required, as In England, for example
The apparatus which thus produces tho necessary bal?

Of retorts, about thirty In all. Into which are thrust
cases, or cartridges like railway-carriage warmers,
lilied with a mixture of - inc dust uni hydrate "f lime,
which the action of Bn speedily converts 'ufo thn
hydrogen gas requisite for elevating a military ballon
capHf. To produce gas sufficient for thli purpose
about two hours only aie required, as I was able to
Judge for myself to-day. The system thus generally
described la superior to all rival systems, as its au?
thor assure me mat lt ls ebeeper, quicker and much
Ieee dangerous than any other. Tne cases ,,f com?
