Morbid Curiosity Not Fully Satisfied-Examination of the Itullfilnir. Yesterday was like its predecessor in the number of people who massed themselves in the middle of Georgia street, near the institute building, and on the sidewalk near the Georgia-street entrance to tho Wcddell House. The crowd exposed itself to the damp ness under foot and the cold air in order to satisfy its morbid curiosity. When the body of Arthur Bayliss was discovered, at 11:80 o'clock, there was a return of the excitement that characterized the crowd on Friday morning, bnt except for that brief period there was not much to see. True, tho black walls, the charred wreckage, tho forbidding aspect were there, bnt two big policemen stood on guard inside the rope And no one except the searchers after bodies and those who had business were allowed to enter the building. Just outside the rope on the sidewalk, noar the entrauce to the Georgia-street annex, was a pile of blackened boards, and shortly after noon they were mounted by a man of solemn visage. At that time thoro were no exploring parries on the first lloor, and nothing could be seen but piles of charred timbers, plastering, etc, bnt for a solid hour the man stood looking intently into the building, scarce turning bis eyes away for a moment One thing noticeable about the crowds was the large number of women and girls who have partly composed them since tho night the fatal catastrophe occurred. For hours they have stood on the sidewalks in the vicinity of the hotel, any one of whom would have given almost anything to have been allowed to cross the portals of the hotel annex. Bnt they were not. During the afternoon several of tho lady attendants of the institnte climbed to tho third and fourth floors of the building, for the lirst time since the lire occurred, to gaze Into the rooms where they had once attended patients, and to see if any valuables could be found. It was rather a patbetio scene. As the attendants would enter some room that had formerly belonged to a patient who had been well-liked, tears would fill their eyes at the thought of the awfnl calamity that had overtaken them. On the fourth floor of the institnto building there is a hall that extends from the rear clear through to tho Illinois street front. At the front of the hall there is a large double window which opens out to the lire-escape. Id the window there is a wire acreeu about sixteen inches in height. Down tho hall, about four feet from the window, the hallway is closed up by a heavy iron gate at least fonr feet high, which was, yesterday afternoon, when examined by a Journal reporter, necurely fastened with a heavy padlock. In order to get to the window and ont on t the tire-escape from the hallway it would be necessary for the patients to climb over tku iron gate, from which sham prongs stick up. It would bo a big task for an adult to accomplish the feat and Almost an impossibility for a crippled child to got over it. The only other exit to tho front lire-escape from that t'oor was through a room north of the hallway and out onto the verandah. On this same floor, in the north section of the Illinois-street building, is a lame room, tho lloor of which is about six feet higher than that of the nallway. Leading np to this room are two or three short stair-steps, and from the top step to the level of tho floor it is a distance of at least three feet. As the steps are very steep and narrow it would bo a dangerous mode of exit to tho hallway. All through the building the stairways are rather narrow, and in many parts of the house they are in the form of two sides of a triangle. The condition of the institute was severely criticised yesterday by people on the streets and tboso who viewed the building, and when is was learned that it is the intention of the management to repair the old building instead of tearing it down, tho indignation of some of tho people knew no bounds. "They can repair that old fire-trap if they want to," said one wnthy gentleman, but if they do 1 will bet that they can count their patient on their ringers." It is understood that the building permit applied for was iaaued ycaterday. across which was written. to be built subject to the inspection of Michael Fitchey." . IN THE WEDDELL HOUSE ANNEX. Scene of Sadness and Gladness as Relative! of the Inmates Arrived. The Weddell Ilonso annex was a scene of bnstlo and activity yesterday all day. Aside from the little Lazurcs child none of the patients were buffering much.' Early in the morning callers began to arrive and all those who had relatives in the hotel were admitted. Fathers and mothers arrived from long distances to take their children home, and the expressions of joy when they met were very alTecting. A colored porter was stationed at the door to admit the callers and help them to find their children. It was a pleasure to relato that bnt few fathers and mothers bad to be told that their darlings wera either dead or injured. As soon a possible after the children had been found preparations were made to take them home, and the confusion was Fumething great, though far removed from the nature of that of previous days. iSnmnel Lazurus. tho husband of Mrs. Jane Lazurus. who died from her injuries received in jumping from the third-story window, arrived at noon. His condition was something to call forth pity. As stated in the dispatches received from Philadelphia yesterday. Mr. Lazurus tainted when he received the intelligence that his wife had been killed, and when be reached this city he was crazed with grief. He lirst called ut Kreolo & Whitsett's morgue, where the I'ody of his wife lay. and then went to the Weddell Hotel, to see his injured child, which was in a dying condition from the

effects of its fall from the third-story window. Last evening tho child died, and to-day the broken-hearted man will leave for his home in Dallas. Tex., with the remains. Among the people who arrived in the city yesterday, who had childreu in the inEtitnto that escaped injnry, were. James Brown, vf Athens, O.; Augustus Pnllis. of Sr. Louis; W. 11. Idcns. of Grand Kapids, Mich., wife and child uninjured: Minos Knowles. Byron A. Nevins. Mrs. Lillian Kogers. of Lima, ().; J. M. l'yatt. of Fyatt, 111.; Mr. Boyd, of Shawneetown. O.; Mr. (iuild. ot Medarvville. Ind.. who came'for his wife; Fetor Brooks, of Taylorsvillo. 111., whose daughter was burned, and Mr. Bnrch, of Macedo, Wis. Arrangements were at once made to take patients to their homes, and there were many sad partincs among children and adults, who had become from association and like aP.liction much attached to each other. It is certain that tho Weddell House will never again in its history bo the field of so many exciting and sorrowful scenes. The Injured Patients. In making tho rounds of the places where those injured in the liro are being taken care of yesterday it was ascertained that all tho patients are doiug as well as could bo hoped for except tho Lazarus child, at the Weddell House, which is expected to die, and Miss Guild at fct. Vincent's Hospital, who was severely injured. The latter is not dangerous, however, and the Sisters say sho will recover. The patients have received good medical attention, and under the circumstances are doing welL SIIirriNG AWAY THE V1CTI3IS.

Unusual Activity About the Morgues Sent to Their Homes. Thero was an nnusnal activity about the various morgues in tho city yesterday. Karly in the day telegrams began to arrive from relatives of the dead respecting the shipment of the bodies, and in many cases the relatives called in person to make the shipping arrangements. By this morning there will be but two or three bodies at the most left at the morgues. Tho father and brother of Miss Stella Spies, of Macomb. O.. arrived yesterday morning and instructed Powers ifc Blackwell, who had the body in charge, to ship it by the first train. William Huebner. the step-father of William Rainstock, of Milwaukee, also arrived on a morning train and soon left with the remains of his boy. A telegram was received from the father of Fred Dockendorf. of Stillwater, Minn., ordering the body shipped at once, and the relatives of Miss Kate Straughn. of Salem. O., arrived last night to cans for the remains, which will be shipped to day. Powers & Blackwell have the remains of Arthur Bayliss. Nothing has yet been hoard from his relatives. The bodies of Irma Payne, of Dnxter, Minn., and Minnie Arnold, of Lancaster. Mo., were shipped yesterday on telegraph orders. The mother of the baby, Martie DeClow, of Farnham. Neb., arrived in person to take her child home. These bodies were at Tutewiler's morgue. The bodies of Frank and Kate Bnrns, of Lake City, Minn., were shipped by undertaker Blanchard last night on a telegraph order from the parents of the dead. The brother of George M. Ellis, of California, Ky arrived yesterday and took charge of the remains, which were at Flanner & Buchanan's morgue. The bodies of Mrs. Jane Lazarns. of Dallas, Tex., Mrs. C. K. Karl and 'daughter Maggie, of Shelby, O., and Hannah Brooks, of Taylorsville. 111., in charge of Kreselo & Whitsett, were claimed by relatives. Tho remains of Minnie McDonald, of Negaunie, Mich., is still unclaimed. The mother ot Miss Fannie Breeden, of Memphis, Tenn., telegraphed undertaker Girton yesterday that she was on her way to this city to get the remains of her daughter. The body of Dr. B. A. Pry or. of Ann Arlor, Mich., lies at Kregelo & Son's morgue. A telegram was received yesterday from relatives ordering the body shipped. Proprietors Own No Real Estate. It seems to be a common belief among a great many people that Drs. Allen and Wilson, proprietors of the Surgical Institute, will sutler great financial losses by reason of damage suits, etc. Such is not the case. An investigation was made by an expert, yesterday, and it was found that neither Dr. Wilson nor Dr. Alien own a dollar's worth of real estate, their property being entirely in their wives' names. They have no doubt taken the precaution that surgeons do, who are constantly in a position to be sued for damages. Against Kemodeling. A conference was held yesterday morning by Chief Webster, Building Inspector Fitchey, Dr. Allen and his agent. Charles Keynolds, about the proposed rebuilding of the wreck, and later an inspection of the building was made. Mr. Fitchey says he will make a report to the Board of Public Works, and will be guided by what they say. ' The popnlar sentiment of the people is that the city should insist on the buildings bo razed to the ground. ITer Father Not Heard From. Mr. A. M. Gruse, a traveling man of Cincinnati, rescued little eight-year-old Ruth Collins, and took her to the Grand Hotel. As soon as the hotel was reached tho little one said: "Won't yon please telegraph my papa! Tell him tho institute burned and his Kuth is safe." The telegram was sent, bnt no answer has yet been received. The child is being well taken care of. , Property Recovered. Property to th e amount of $1,000 was recovered by the police from the institnte, and Superintendent Colbert's office was crowded yesterday by tho owners applying for their watches, wallets, etc. A number of gold watches, one .belonging to Minnie Arnold, one of the killed, were in the list. Inquest Postponed. " The coroner was to have begun the inquest of those killed in the Surgical Institute tire yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, but he found that he could not get his witnesses together and the inquest was postponed until to-morrow at 1 o'clock. More Valuables Found. A gold watcn was found yesterday morning in Room 63 by patrolman Albert, who was searching the ruins. It was the property of Miss Minnie Arlington, of 'Lancaster, Mo. A pocket-book .containing 2.50 was also found by a fireman. Sending In Supplies. A number of kindly disposed persons have been sending in clothingand othercomforts for the survivors of tho Surgical Institute fire. Nothing whatover is needed but that the management of the institute will themselves supply. AS VIEWED FROM ABROAD. Greater Care Should lie Taken la the Construction and Inspection of Buildings. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington'. Jan. 23. Intense interest was shown herd in the comprehensive dispatches from Indianapolis, published this morning, detailing tho horrors of the Surgical Institute fire. Especially were the Indiamans interested in it, as many of them had relatives or friends in the institution. The Indianapolis holocaust has attracted local attention. The bill of Senator McMillan of Michisan, chairman of the Senate committee on tho Districtof Columbia, which fixes fire limits in this city of a very stringent character, locates all institutes,, hospitals, theaters and public halls on the crouud floor; compels hotol-keepers to provide ample lire escapes, and in a word makes the loss of life by fire in all places patronized by the puhlio as nearly impossible as the law can make it. Sncb a measure will become luw. ami it is to be agitated from this point as a suitable step for Mate legislatures to take. This evening' .Star has this to say on the subject editorially: "In such fires as that at Indianapolis it is usually found that the

helpless victims wore immured in buildings having. 'no- properly constructed stairways or other snthcieut means of egress. Where hospitals, asylums and tho like aro inn on a happy-go-lucky plan it is found that .sooner or . later untoward results ensue. It is' the business of building inspectors' to inspect snch houses with unusual care, and in no case to give their assent to or permit to be carried out plans of construction that are faulty. 1'laces of amusement, large tenement or apartment buildings, hotels, business edifices, as well as hospitals and colleges, should be planned and erected with extraordinary care., whereas, in mauy instances the reverse is the practice. Convenience of exit and egress, certainty of escape by one of several modes, proper strength of wall and roof supports, excellence of materials used, preparation of foundations these aro a few of the things to bo secured by the inspector. Snch deplorable, even criminal blunders as were inale manifest in tho Indianapolis burgical Institnte case are the best justification for measures like the McMillan bill on the subject." . - Let the Institute Be Locate Elsewhere. To the Elitor ot the Indianapolis Journal: The burning of Dr. Allen's Medical Institute, and the consequent terrible holocaust wherein so many lives were lost, inspires me to protest against the erection and use of this building for such a purpose, in the very heart of the business portion of the city. My judgment, confirmed by nine-tenths of the business men within foursquares of the Union Depot, is, that this institution should be compelled totake np a location in a more remote part of the the city, removed from tho eye of the public, and away from its view. A thousand expressions of horror, intermingled with sympathy, have been beard by the writer when witnessing the maimed and paralytic, when they aro turned loose upon our busy streets for exercise, and. if this is so to strong men. what must it be to delicate women, coming suddenly upon groups of dozens of these helpless little ones in all stages of deformity and helplessness. The institution is a humanitarian one, but, in God's name, and for tho reputation of the city, why should not the city authorities regnlate this matter and compel the Doctor to go out to the edge of tho city, where every visiting stranger will not see these exhibitions and not think that Iudianapolis is a swarm of cripples and paralytics, and where plenty of room can be bad to spread out the buildings, and not be compelled to build so high for room, as they must, if again located on its present site. The business men near the depot will rise up and call yon blessed if yon and the other city papers will accomplish this removal by thoroughly presenting it to the proper authorities, who can and ought to prohibit its erection and use witnin a certain city limit. Yours respectfully," A. 0. M. Indianapolis, Jan. 23.

Condnctor Cronln's Snd Fate. Frrcial to the Indianapolis Journal. Huntington, Ind., Jan. 23. The city of Huntington mourns the awful death of ono of its most respected railroad men. Conductor 0. C. Cronin, of the Chicago & Erie railway, fell between the cars of a freight train at North Judson Thursday night, wbilo passing over bis train, and was killed, probably instantly. His body was rolled along nnder the wheels for some distance and was horribly mangled. The remains were brought to this citv to-day and left for tho Slate of New York to-night for interment. Conductor Cronin was about tbirty-eigiit years of age and leaves a.wife and oLe child. He had been in tho service 'of the C. V E. for six years and was a reliable rnd trusted employe. He was the chief conductor of Erie division at the time of tho railroad strike a year ago aud was also the delegate to the Grand Division in Coroner Goes Off with the Verdict. Srecisl to the Indianapolis Journal. Crawforhsvillk, Ind., Jan. 23. The prolonged inqnest into what caused tho death of Col.
