From calculations It is thought that

that some of theee may be hoard !rem

From the number of tickets sold on

many emit parts ot bodies bad been

that there were 1301110 strangers in the

The live members of the Solotnou,s
ifunily--three men and two women--
were buried. There were live hearses
and a long line of carrlagea. Tne
burial took place at the Jewish
graveyard. The brothers Duitz,
also Hebrews, were buried.
Those bodies which have not been
identified, as aa ail of those at the
temporary morgue,are dreadful and har
rowiug beyond descriptiou. Parts of
some corpoes cruinbled. Carbolic
acid was poured over them hourly, by
order of the Board el Health. Chloride
of .ime is scattered about the liJor, anti
the cleeomposition oi limbs anti trunks
increased tile offeusiveness of the plaee.
The acme, lu almost every instauce
where they were preserved, are thrown
up and backward, us death had come
while the poor creatures were strug
gling for life.
The impossibility of ever identifying
most of the betties is evident to every
visitor. Supervisor Sextou, of the Com
tnittee on Funeral Services, estimates
that at least one hundred and fifty
bodies would prove uurecognizable.
From all sources at hie commaud he
thought the total number of victims
couid not bo leas thati three hundred
and fifty. This opinion is based on tbe
number of persons applying for permits
to enter the morgue for the purpoeu ot
recognizing missing friends which have
not beea removed by relatives.
