Death Ship Gives Up Many More Bodies.

Chicago, Aug. I.—While investigation of the capsizing of the steamer Eastland rested over Sunday, divers today recovered three more bodies from the wreck, making the total known dead 839. Coroner Peter M. Hoffman tonight said there probably were only a few more bodies in the river, although the missing list of the Western Electric company, whose employes arranged the excursion aboard the Eastland, remained at 142. The coroner today advertised for the names of any who might be missing as a result of the catastrophe, but received no answers. A federal grand jury, instructed by Judge Landis to dig into every detail of the Eastland, regardless of whom any finding migth* affect, will resume its examination of witnesses tomorrow.
