Awaiting Her LOVOF'H Ilody.
In a doorway within the police lines and
close ov the ruin sat n woman n young
woman whoso cheeks woio scalded witb
tears. With folded aims , ono hand clutch
ing n wet handkorchlof she sat upon a chair
nOVidod for her , her head bent forwanl nnd
iero > os constantly following the working
men. The lleht of the Jlarlng torches glis
tened upon bor bloodshot , pitiful oyos. Be
side her upon an lion stop sat a man who had
accompanied the woman. Aud so , all night
they bad boon watching , waiting , hoping ,
yet dreading to see the discovery of her
future 'husband's body , who was buried
under the debris. She spoke seldom
onlv waited dumbly to see the body of
her lover , ns she was the nfllaiiced b'rido
of joung man Peterson , whoso father owned
the restaurant whoiomany nro believed to
have been killed whllo at lunch At2 o'clock
In the morning n group of Ilremon ccnsod their
worlc , a body had boon found near the spot
whore the lad was found dead about 10
o'clock. The body was that of a young man
about UO years old. It was tcrriblv burnod.
No ono there .knew him. The lomalnes wera
placed in tbo dead wagon that stood con
stantly near.
.Thoii again wont on the work , tbo ( Iranian
w Ith tripos nnd pulleys dislodging and hauling
uway the embers from the pit of death.
There were the Italians In double Unas , as
cariiors working stolidly In the Inferno glow
of the torcbai. There came , tlnallv , a touch
of gray light tllttorlng through tbo morning
mists. Seine had gene homo to sleep. The
crow ds behind tbo policeman wora much re
duced , but tbo work went on , and on , and on.
The sllont llancoof the dead man in the
ruins was waiting as the dawn broke , and
her strained and pitiful face was ghastly in
the rooming light. Day dawned , tbo ruddy
flames of breaking day Illumnod the on&toin
sky , but still tbo torches were maintained.
In All Tliiilr MuiiKlod GlinstllnnbM ,
At , 5:10 : o'clock another body , thnt of a man
about llvo loci live Inches tall , was taken out.
In the pockets of tbo trousers was found 2
cents.
At II')0 ! ) o'clock tbo body of a young man ,
apparently nbout U ) > oars old , was found , It
was clad in darK trousers and a tennis shirt.
At ! ) o'clock and thlrtv minutes u bn.lt
came in the woik. Ttiroo or four Ihoincn
were bending nnd busy handed. Tbo
Italians pause to look. Thou nether tiro-
moa gathered around and the woman started
forwanl as fast ns she could run. But her
companion stayed her nnd wont to look at
thouciul. Soon ho returned to the waiting
gill and led her by the arm. Instlnclvotl ) she
know tbo vigil was ended. Her quest was
over. Her lost hud boon found. But ho had
no word for her and she was not ixmnittcd
then to see the dreadful work of the wreck
age upon him.
The man who was lifted out from among
the bricks and timbers was the girl's lover ,
W years of ago , of bX ! Third avenue , the son
qiXho man who kept tbo restaurant on tbo
.fiwunil lloor. This made fourteen bodies
that had been recovered.
And thus us the night w ord on the worlc

The crowdt grow greatly. The
police lines were strengthened ; hucksters
occupied the cdpo of thn throng for trade ,
nnd peanut nnd lemonade venders came and
netup their stalls whorothoy might rrnp
profit from the clroumstanc" of n disaster
crowd.
At 10 . .T > o'clock two moro bodies were dis
covered In the debits. The first removed
was that of a man about 80 jears old. The
nccond , also that of n man , WAS burned be
yond recognition , the flesh being In shreds
nnd thn Intestines bung over the spine as
tbn body was carried to n toflln ,
As the evening came on heavy clouds called
over head nnd shut down on all sides 'ho
horizon with a downpour of rain , The fire
men nnd others withdrew from the work
The polko were loft to watch from the doorway -
way * , the crowds were scattered and the dis
mantled blackened pit was left alone with its
spcrot burled beneath.
Still Hurled.HiMicntli ttio ( lultiH.
The opinion prevails tonight that less than
half the bodies Imvo so far boon recovered
from the wreck nnd It Is thought th it not
less than fifty people were killed In the dis
aster
Moans will bo provided In the morning to
remove the boavv Iron girders nnd machin
ery which must bo talton from the ruined

factual ptngrcss in clearing nwav tbo dobrls
There Is no doubt but that a largo number of
persons now reported missing will bo found
In an unrecognl/nblo state In the mass of
brick and mortar.
The total niimbor of bodies tikoji from the
ruins up to the time the men stopped work
tonight Is sovontoon. The number Idontlllod
Is eleven.

Imvo stocked with provisions ready to move

tached to information from Washington that
us much as ten dajs' notice will bo given

Minnesota , North nnd South Dakota , Wis

pirticularly covered in the wheat Holds
of Minnesota , South and North Dakota
the reports nro most oncouraglng.Ori orally
speaking very light damage has bean done
to wheat. Whcro thorchas boon any it was
scattered and only to late sown wheat ,
the eaily sown being out of the way. Taken
altogether , the damage Is not enough to make
anv difference in tbo si/o of the crop or grade
ofthocialn. What is still moio encourag
ing , a warm wnvo Is following
the late cold visitor , and further
dmmgo Is not probable. At Jamestown , N.
D , i\t ( i o'clock tbo thermometer registered
70 above , and at Mayille , N. D. , 72. What
damage was done was mainly to corn and
garden truck and this damage is confined to
scattered sections. The points In North
Dakota reported damaged are Oakcs ,
wboro late wheat was seriously
Injuied and corn almost destroyed ; Lldgo-
wood , wheat and oats were Injureu 5 per
cent ; Grnndin , one-third of the wheat in
jured , and Mnndan corn slightly Injured. In
South Dakota serious damage to corn and
late wheat and ( lax was done nt Aberdeen ,
Chambcrlalo and Andover ; at Watcrtou corn
suffered.
CJiand Fork , MilneDevil's Lake , James
town , Hillsboro , nnd a host of other South
Dakota points , report no damage to wheat or
other grain. A Huron , S. D , dispatch says
no damage was done in the Jim river valley.
In Minnesota no damage to speak of was
done and from all points rising temperature
is reported tonight.
There was no frost at Winnipeg nnd no
reports of damage have been received at
that point.
In southwestern Iowa the thermometer
reclstoied almost to froc7lng , but a fog pre

Within the next six weeks Brigadier ( ten-
oral A. V , ICnntz will coupon the retired list ,
nnd the milking colonels in the aitlllory , cav
alry aud infantry aims of the military service
who stand any chance whatever forptomo-
tion nro beginning to move upon the outposts
of the wnlto houso. Whan General Ivuntz ,
who Is to bo retired , was promoted about a
year ago his chief and most formidable op
ponent was Colonel James W. Forsytho of
the Sovcuth cavalry , who had Just had a very
extensive row w Ith General Miles.
It Is the general belief here that this un
pleasantness had moro to ilo with Foisytho's
failure to secure the promotion than any
other cause. The administration of tbo War
department , while not disposed to bo paitic-
ularly friendly with Oonoial Miles , did not
dcslro to put a personal nffrout upon him ,
such as tbo promotion of Colonel Forsj the
would have been considered.
Today Colonel Forsjtbols the only cavalry
ofllcer talked of In connection with the pro
motion , nna vorv strong effoits will bo made
In his behalf. But the artillerv olllcors Imvo
long thought that they should bo locognl/od
by the promotion of ono of their number to
the grade of a general ofllcor.
The ranking artillery olllcor Is Colonel
Loomls Langdon , now stationed nt Fort
Hamilton in Now York harbor. Lancdon is
n popular ollicer hero who has an excellent
rocoid and a powoi ful backing If the artil
lery is recognized ho will suioly secure the

Cowardly Murderer.
Snrunvii.Lr , Ind. , Aug. 2J. Don Bruce ,
city marshal , was shot and fatally woundou
by Charles Hawkins , n desperado , who was
lynched by n mob n few hours later
Hawkins was in a quarrel , when Bruce cnmo
upon the scene and requested him to cease
his disturbance. Hawkins then reached fo r
his revolver and with nil o.itn tired three
shots in succession nt Bruce , each bullet
taking effect , Hawkins ilrcd twice inor.o , but
missed , and started to run , witb Bruce fol
lowing. When about 150 foot from the place
of the shooting Bruce caught Hawkins ,
placed him under arrest and immediately
toll. Ilo was removed to his residence. At
H o'clock Bruce was vomiting blood nnd his
case was considered hopeless.
At 12 o'clock tonight a mob of 500 collected
In the court house vard and proceeded to the
Jail without n word. The sheriff demanded
to know who was thoro. Ono of the mob
said ho was n deputy marshal and said ho
hud a prisoner. The sheriff then opened tbo
door , when tbo men 'entered the parlor and
soirod him by the tnroat. Ho was then tied
hand nnd foot and a handkerchief was stuffed
into his mouth.
Ono of the mob secuied the keys of the jail
nnd the bnriod doors were thiown open and
guards placed at tbo ontiunco to keep back
tbe ether prisoners. Hawkins was in a roar
tell , nnd when tbo mob reached that portion
of the Jail ho fell upon his fauo. placed his
hands ever bis eyes and said : "Please let
mo piay. "
The committee did not wait , but proceeded
to tlo his hands and adjust a noose about bis
neck. In a moment six men came rushing
out of the Jail , pulling their victim by the
neck and drugging him on the ground
Twenty foot from the jail door ntioo was
found and tbo rope was thrown ever a limb
and a second later Hawkins was suspended
in midair. Eight shots were then fired in
his body and the dreadful work was ovor.
The mob Immediately dispoiacu and In llvo
minutes every thing on tbo street was as
quiet as a graveyard.
At the hour of hanging Bruce was re
ported as dying.
It is bald that Hawkins deed was premedi
tated. A week ngo tbo marshal at rested
Hawkins' 12-yoar-old sun who had thiown
stones through some Plato-glass windows ,
nnd Hawkins Donated that ho had como to
tbo city prepared to get oven with Brnco.
Ho bad sought troublti with several persons ,
but ull were afraid of him His father and
son were loft in j ill unmolested by the mob ,
although each participated in the cowatdly
shootine of the cltv marshal After Haw
kins bad emptied hU revolver , which ho had
boriowod for the occasion , bis son stopped up
and banded him another well loaded , but
of ( bis bo was disarmed by other ofllteis
The father of the assassin , an old man , came
up as the marshal started to fall , and going
up to ttio dying man drew a club and was
about to Atrlko him when a bystander caught
htm. Tno mob , DOW over , lot him go on ac
count of his ago und tbo boy on account of
bis youth.
Dm coroner , Clarence liruco , a brother of
tbo marbhal , wus called to the south part of
the county to bold an Inquest , and tomorrow
will bold an Inquest on tbo body of his broth
er's assassin , und will most likely bo depended -
ponded upon to Investigate tbo cause of bis
urothor'a death.
The aaiatslo leaves a wlfo ana fatally who
nro In almost destitute clrcumstuticos. The
body was loft bunging in the court house
yard.
The oxcltomcnt ever the ahootlng of City
Marshal Bruce and the lynching of Hawkins
last night ruled nil oay long as high ns It did
last night. Hawkins' body was cut down at
10 o'clock ana taken to the undertaker's.
Mnrsnnl Bruce continue * alive , but Is hover
ing between llfo and death. Ho will hardly
recover. Tnoro Is a qulot fooling here tint
Hawkins was a dangcious desperado and that
ho bid probably mot his deserts Bruce was
a kind beat ted man.

It may not hnvo boon stiango , but It looked
so , thai shortly after the death of her hus
band the old ladv , now over 70 j cars of rxgo ,
became a sealed book to the- neatest of her
kin. Relatives whom she lovd were
denied admittance to her picsonco. They
say that her mind was studiously poi
soned against them by tbo intripui'u who
were seeking to gain possession of nor vast
fortune Lawicnco Drake was installed In
tbo great bouso as rlKht-band m.in , and it U
said that ho ruled things tuoroitii a rod of

Tbov ate going to show It all , thov say
the life in the nuublo piison aud Homo of It
will bo appalling. Thov will not foreshadow
the evidence , for they do not wish to put am
munition in the hands'of the adversary. Some
witnesses , they say , Imvo boon told to keep
beyond the teach of summonses. That Mrs.
Seaman's mind began to fall bor In her
widowhood , anil that she lin.illv became
mentally incapacitated , the plnintllls In the

after n time to rcwnid the sailor v , no bad res
cued her and gava him 25 cents.
In course of tijnc , it Is nllegod , she began
to hat her the delusion that Lauienco Dialto
owned the marble puson and that It was
through his goodnois of heart that she was
permitted to live there She spent hours
dusting Imaginary dust off the fiiinituto.
