TAKING OUT Tim IKAI.

Kuw Yohk, Feb. 9.—Ono hundred men are at work clearing away the ruins of the Hotel Royal and searching for remains of the uufortunate beings who perished in the flumes on Sunday morning. The work will be kept going night and day until the dabris is wholly cleared away.

i'llty-Sli

Missing.

From a carefnl examination of the hotef register and the journal which was furnished by Clerk Underwood, the number of persons in the 'building when the fire broke out was 150. Of these eleven ]nre known to bo dead, eighty-three were rescued before the walls collapsed and fifty-six are still missing. It is not improbable that a number of those who are still among the missing may have escaped the frightful fate which so many others are known to have met, but the thought of the possible loss of life is appalling.

Among those who were rescued from the flaming building are twenty-four who are more or less seriously burned and bruised. Tiiree of these are at Bellevue hospital and there is one each at the New York and Presbyterian hospitals. The others have beeu cared for by their friends at neighboring hotels or at their homes.

Recovering Dead Bodies.

The firemen at 9 o'clock Monday morning found the body of a woman in a room on the fifth floor of that portion of the building still standing on Fortieth street A few minutes later the body of a man was found beneath a pile of debris under the site of the dining-room. Seven bodies had been found at 9:30. In taking out the seventh body quite a bit had to be dug under where the dining-room was and a numbes of other bodies were brought In view. Every effort was being made to recover th%se when it was disoov' •red that the wall on the Fortieth street side was tottering and threatening the lives of all the workmen and the search had to be suspended for a time in order that the wall might be torn down. As soon as this was done work was once more resumed.

Corpse and Chock-Hook.

At 11:30 the eighth body was found about 10 feet from the snot where the seventh body had been discovered. It was that of a woman, without olothing, about 25 years of age and 5 feet 2 inches in height, lieneath the body was found a black cambric skirt, a bunch of keys and a check-book on which was written the name "C. A. Huffy, Philadelphia."

Late in the afternoon the workmen found a foot and apart of a leg in the ruins. At 5:30 o'clock a body was found. It was so badly burned as to be unrecognizable and was sent direct to the morgue.

About 0:45 the eleventh body was brought to view. The legs were almost gone, the arms had been burned off and the head, was crushed almost to a jelly. In the upper jaw a set of false teeth was found which looked like that of a woman.

Work tit the Morgue.

Three of the bodies recovered "from the ruins during the morning were taken to the mogue. A deputy coroner came with them for the purpose of assisting in identification and to ascer tain the cause of death. Orders hare gone out that all bodies should be brought to the morgue and identified there so that no confusion would result. Body No. 7, that of a man with arms folded across his breast and bowed head as if to protect his face, was the first examined. 'In had evidently made a desperate effort to escape, as he had hurriedly dressed himself in trousers and vest, not stopping to remove his night robe, which he still wore. His identification was soon made complete. He was A. A. Townsend, a retired coal dealer of New Haven, Conn., who came on here from Washington, D. C., last Saturday.

Among Those Who I*erialieil. H. Jackson, of Philadelphia, is missing Mrs. Ilattie Vn-i Norden, wife of Harry J. Van Nordeu, manager of the Royal Worcester Corset Company, was undoubtedly among those who perished. The woman, her husband says, had jewels worth between $30,000 and $40,000 in a chamois-skin belt strapped around her waist at the time of the fire, and the gems, together with valuable papers, are in the ruins with her. Van Norden says the papers were worth $15,000, as they could prove a claim in a case now pending in court.

ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY tf, 1892.

CULLOM A CANDIDATE.

The Illinois Senator Admits That lie HM 1'rcsldentlnl Aspirations. Wasiiixotov, Feb. 9.—In reply to a question as to what he thought of Mr. Blaine's withdrawal, Senator Cullom, of Illinois, said:

I am not surprised. I had intimation.' of Its coming from various sources, and indeed from the secretary himself, but nothing definite." "Will you enter the Hold for the nomination, senator?" "Yes. I have said to my friends, that having pivon Illinois nearly thirty years of earnest servlco, I would esteem it a great honor if the delegation to the national republican convention from Illinois would support me for the nomination. If I could be nominated, well ond good if not, the delegation would bo free to support any good man. I have said further that I have no 'muck' to run against anyone, and was desirous only of securing that which was best for tho republican parly and for the country. If any other man can get more voti^s limn 1 can, I would bo for him."

The friends of the president are saying that Blaine's withdrawal insures tho renominatlon of President Harrison, but this is not accepted by the friends of other candidates. They say the contest for the nomination will at once open up all over the country, with three or four prominent candidates contending against the president for tho nomination. Among these candidates will be Senator i.'ullom, Gen. Alger, probably Senator Allison and perhaps Gov. ilclCinley.

London, Feb. 9.—The Globe in commenting on Mr. Blaine's letter, in which he declares that he is not a candidate for the presidential nomination, attributes his withdrawal to the knowledge that he would not be successful, and that his course in the Chilian affair has destroyed his whole foreign policy as far as the American continent is concerned. It adds: "To pretend that there is any regret felt in England becausc of Mr. Blaine's failure would bo absurd. Ho is the enemy of our friends, and the friend of our enemies. He has never disguised his wish to annoy England, and he has had recourse, more than once, to the most petty und undignified means to cfTecl this object."

SNUBBED BY BOYD.

Nebraska's Governor Take* Charge of Hit Office—lie Refuses t» Shake timid* with Ills l'rerieofttfsor.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 9.—Gov. Boyd Is at last installed in the office to which the people of Nebraska elected him nearly two years ago. He arrived in the city at noon Monday, accompanied by a number of leading democrats from Omaha, and proceeded to the capitol at 3 o'olock, where a crowd of 300 or 400 awaited them.

At 2 p. m. he walked quietly into the executive office and resumed his duties as governor of Nebraska. .Judgo Higgins wfcs installed as private secretary and Gen. Vifquain as adjutnnt general.

When Gov. Boyd entered the recaption room ex-Gov. Thaver came out of his private oflice and, extending his hand, said: "How do you do, governor?" Gov. Boyd made no reply, not offering to take his hand. After an embarrassing period of silence exGov. Thayer said: "Very well. If you will not shake hands, it'» as well. The clerk will furnish you with an invoice of tho property." Gov. Boyd answered: "I want no invoice. I am here to take possession of tho office to which I was elected."

Gov. Boyd held an .informal reception in the executive parlors." He was asked if he intended to make a clean sweep of republican office-holders. He intimated that such action was in contemplation but he was in no particular hurry. It is predicted, however, that before the end of the week all of Gov. Boyd's previous appointees will be in•itod to return. A number of Thayer's appointees have already tendered their resignations.

Ni-.w YultK.Fell 1).—Charles Mcllvaine was shocked to death in the prison hero, the first contact being made at 11:12 a. in. Monday. Tito duration of contact was forty-live seconds. In a few seconds after the current was out off by order of Dr. MueDelimit], froth issued from the mouth and almost simultaneously there was a quick gurgling exilitioli and as quick a recovery, like a person strangling of wafer going the wrong way.

A Second Trial Necessary.

The enrrenl was at once reapplied and continued for forty-five seconds when ihe doctors examined the wrist and jugular vein for pulsations: there were none, and after examination by all the doctors present the subject was declared dead. raced Death Calmly.

Mcllvaine went to his death calmly. When he was brought into the room "he looked quickly about and then fixed his eyes on the chair. At a sign from the chief keeper he walked over to it unflinchingly and sat down. Then lnstared straight ahead of him tis the deputies quieklv adjusted the straps and drew them tight. As the face strap was adjusted .Mcllvaine grew excited anil shouted: "Let her go." Instantly the current of 1,70(1 volts was turned on. The doctors, with one exception, believe life and consciousness were destroyed at the same instant As compared with the Kenitnler execution that of Mcllvaine was much less distressing.

The Autopsy.

The iintojv.y revealed that there were rdiglit Misters from tlie healed water in the elcet.ro ie. The hands, which had remained completely immersed, were in no degree disfigured in the surface, but the wrists had each a slight blistered ring where they had beeu wet upon immersion but had been withdrawn at the convulsion attending the first contact At the calf of the leg, where the second contact had been made, instead of at tinhands, there had been something more than blistering—flic rigid tightening of the muscles having pressed the sponge dry and heat result',ng to singe the surface.

Prof. Van Gieson finished the autopsy at 3:45 p. m. The examination showed that the heart and brain wore perfectly novmal. No traces of insanity were found. At Mellvaine's trial insanity was set up as a partial defense. The doctors declare that Mcllvaine was killed by shock, and the execution was pronounced a successful one.

Dr. MucDonald was asked if he believed that consciousness and life were destroyed at the same instant. "Conscious life wan unquestionably instantly destroyed," was the answer. "And you regard the expulsion of sputum and the sounds from the throat as purely reflex muscular results?" ''Unquestionably," was the reply

Call the Kxecntloii llarbnrous.

Assemblyman M. J. Stoin, who through his persistenteffortssucceeded last week'in having representatives of the press admitted to the electrocution, was probably the most interested witness. In an interview immediately after the exection he pronounced the execution a most cruol and unnatural one, which had made him sick. He said that he would use all hh influence to havetke law of execution by oleetricity repealed immediately. "It is a disgrace toa civilized state," he said, "and ought not to be allowed in our statutes. 1 do not want to witness another execution and cannot say whether death was instantaneous or not."

hands, as had some time, ago been suggested by Thomas A. Edison. The chair itself is the outgrowth of ideas hold by Prison Yardmaster Hubert, who since the quadruple execution last luly has been studying to effect electric con- I tacts without burning or scalding tho skin of the subject. On each side at the arms was a jar into which the hands were immersed in a solution of salt. The arms were stropped at the elbow and wrists and the contact at the head was made at the forehead. An electrode, as in previous cases, here was present for use on the leg in case of failure or mishap at the other points of contact. The first contact was made through hands and head the second through the head and calf of tho right leg. Rubber sacks of warm water hung aloft with rubber tubes to the electrodes for automatic wetting of the sponges.

Mk.mphis, Tcun.. Feb. H, IhiJO a. m.— A disastrous conflagration broke out in the building t!:i0 Main street, occupied by the llruce-Heine llat Company, at y:!10 Monday night. The building, which was of six stories, was soon seen by the firemen to be doomed, and all their efforts were concentrated in an cndcuvor to save adjoining property. They were unsuccessful, howewer.

Ilurnlnc ItulldiiiKA Fall.

At 10:4.'j the llruce-Heine building fell in with a crash, and a few minutes later the building ot the Laugstaff Hardware Company, which adjoined it at the south, fell into the space former ly occupied by the hat building. Tho trunk factory to the north, occupied lSy S. Levy, was then a mass of flames and soon was a total wreck. The fire continued spreading and by midnight I.utliermnnn's hotel, the finest south of the Ohio river. "The Ruby" saloon, a large harness factory and another building were either burning or destroyed. rrogren* of tho I'lre.

It is not now known how it originated. The starting place was on the corner of Monroe and Main streets After getting under headway it. leaped across Monroe htrcet to the Hotel Lutbermann, the largest in the city. From this place the fire became utterly uncontrollable and rapidly made its way to the other buildings in tlie Ulock on the. east side of Main street. Reaching I'nion street the fire made a turn and started up in an easterly direction, sweeping everything inflammable in its path. Reaching Third street, the bla/.c again made a turn and started up that street in a northerly direction. On the Third street side of the burning block arc several large buildings one, the Lilly carriage factory, was the firstMo take fire on thio street. The fire is now (8:80 a. m.) communicating to the adjoining buildings, which are used as law ofllces, etc., and at this time it looks as if the blaze would make the eniire circle of the block.

One Man l.cnpA to Dcnlh.

A man was seen to appear on the roof of the burning Lilly carriage factory, which is three stories high, and after standing a moment at the edge of the roof he leaped to tho HTonnd, falling a shapeless mass of flesh. It is reported that others were carried down with the roof of tho Luthermann hotel, but-on account of the immense crowds of peoplo that throng the streets it is impossible to learn anything regarding the rumor.
