Ncxv YOIIK , Aug. 2k The xvork of delving
for the dead in the ruins on Park place con
tinued throughout the night , during xvhlch
flvo bodies were found , making n total of
ovcnty-four victims of the axvful explosion.
Later the body of Ernst E. Shaddock of
Brooklyn xvas found.
An Italian working on the runs xvas seen
to tuko something from thn body of n victim.
A Mlvorntch xvas found upon him which ho
admitted taking. The police took him to the
station. On the xvay ho nnrroivly escaped
lynching. Ilo xvns hold for trial.
At the morgue there Is n corstnnt stream
t pcopln looking for their friends or rela-
" * 5fcs among the dead. A slokmllng odor
irom burned bodies pervades the ntmosphoro.
It Is noxv thought the faulty construction
of the building xvus the cause of the accident.
By noon txvo more bodies xx-ero found. So
far only the edge of the ruin has been
searched. The llromon believe at least fifty
bodies are at least under the dobrls. It is
thought by tomorroxv afternoon all the bodies
xvlil bo recovered.
Six moro bodies xvoro found In the ruins nt
fl o'clock , llvo of xvhluh xvero xvomon or girls
nnd one that of a boy. They xvero ideutlllcd
by friends.
The odor of decomposing flesh that nrises
from thu ruins Is horrible anil the disinfect
ants hitherto used produce little clTcct.
Hnrnud IJcyond Recognition.
AtC o'cloclt the next body xvas brought out
from the basement of No. 70. It xx-as found
beneath the press frame that had boon lifted
out of the debris a feiv minutes boforo. It
proved to bo the body of ix man. The bond
nnd body \\-oro burned beyond recognition ,
but the legs and feet xvoro comparatively in
tact.
tact.At S:30 : the next body wns brought out
from the press room. It xvas the remains of
u young man about 17 years old. His face
xvas burned beyond recognition , but most of
his clothes xvoro in relatively fair shape. Ho
xvas probably one of the employes In the
TEi ? s room.
\fity Chamberlain Grain , xvhoso mother
owned the xvrcckcd building , arrived at his
ofllco today. When questioned as to Iho
condition of the building ho said : "I knoxv
nothing about It. It xvns built In 187 : ' nnd
xvas acquired by my mother in ISS'J. The
building , I have alxvays undsrstood , xvns xvoll
constructed and never xvas condemned , nor
xvas It considered unsafe. It xvas always
used for the purposes for xvhloh it xvas used
at the time of the firo. As to the claim that
tbojtock and material and the heavy presses
rfli the upper floors caused the building to
"
" "collapse. Why , any ono xvho looks nt tlio
facts calmly and dispassionately xvill admit
that such xvas not the case. My opinion ,
from all I hax-e been nblo to learn'is that the
cause of the accident xvns a lire , folloivod by
nn explosion , the MUIIO theory that the lire-
men have about the matter. The explosion
occurred on ono of the lower floors. What
caused it. or xvhen it took pluco , is not for mete
to say. It xvas Insured for $50,000 , and was
worth Just about that sum. I never knoxv
that it xvas considered extra hazardous. "
All Unsafe
A man who has been engaged lor flvo years
In placing machinery in position , said today
that the presses ot Ellis mid McWonnld and
Lolblor and Maas , were so placed thut the
vibrations ran with the beams and rafters
nnd that the eight inch resting piano was in-
siifllcicnt to the support of the enormous
weight that was on it. On tlio third lloor
nlono , ho said , nearly forty tons of machinery
stood.
An alarm was sent out from police head
quarters today for Louis Hosonfold , proprie
tor of the paint stare ut 70 Park Place.
He has been inlsslug since the disaster and
his brother thinks the fearful .scones ho wit-
jicsscil alter the crash came unsettled his
mhu.1. and Unit ho Is wandering aimlessly
bout this or some other city.
Ghastly Discoveries 3Indc.
Half nil hour later another plno box was
carried out of the ruins and laid bcsido the
other two. When the lid was removed there
were disclosed the frightfully charred re
mains of a .vounir man. The body was burned
nnd mutilated beyond possible"recognition. .
Doth hands and feet worn missing. Nearly
every vestlgo of his clothing was gone , and
'rtlit httlu remained wus of little or no use
towards identifying him. Ho appeared to bo
nhout 1M years of age. The thrco boxes were
placed In the wagon nnd taken to the niorguo.
The scones ut the morgue today were simi
lar to these of yesterday. Up till 5 o'clock
twcnty-ono bodies had been brought up to
the morgue from the scene of the disaster.
Of these thirteen , which were Identlllcd as
soon as they were dug out of the dobrls ,
were not taken to the morgue , but were re
moved nt oiico to the undertaker's shops.
Most of the Identifications } wcra mada from
articles of clothing found' * on the charred
_ _ _ returning.
r Another body was roinovod from the ruins
ntl > ; ir > o'clock. It was that of H Inriro nnd
muscular nmn about six fcot In height , nnd
of perhaps 185 pounds weight. The remains
were not much burned , nlthouu-li somewhat
blackened. Tltcro was no mutilation of any
part , and the hair xvns not ovou slncred.
Nona ot these at the scone of the disaster
could identify the remains and tliny were
out to the morguo. This was the thirty-
fifth body which had been recovered up to
this hour.
* Up to 12:15 : n. m. no moro bodies had boon
reached. Owing to the wretched manage
ment of the work of excavating hardly any
progress was made from 11 o'clock. There is
little expectation that tiny moro bodies will
bo recovered before daybreak , although the
Increasing nnd almost Intolerable stench
scorns to indicate that other dicomposlng
bodies are not far oif and may bo reached ut
toy Unit ) .

CHICAGO , III. , Aug. 21. Trouble 1s appar
ently again brewing between the natlomvl
commission of the World's fair and the local
directory , and lively times nro looked for
when the national commission meets a week
from tomorrow. The llrst row will undoubt
edly develop -when Director General Davis
presents his report to the commissionshowing
that practically nothing has been done In
the department of horticulture and liberal
arts. Whan the commissioner ! ask what has
caused the delay they will bo told that the
directors huvo rejected thrco men in succes
sion who were nominated for chief of horti
culture , and the fourth nomination , John M.
Samuels of Kentucky , has been hung up
until the directors determine whether It will
bo snfo to reject him also. The local board
Is understood to hnvo declared that It will
have u California man for the place , prefer
ably Short of Pasadena nnd Los Angelas.
The director general , however , has the power
of nominating. To force him to name Air.
Short the directors reject nil other nomina
tions for the olllco with u view to forcing the
director general to show his hand.
With all this before them the commis
sioners will probably call upon the directors
to explain why they nru delaying the horti
cultural department by the fat'.uro to ratify
the appointment of a chief. If n satisfactory
answer Is not glvon tlio commission have it In
their power to make thiucs very unpleasant
for the local board , and will probably pro
ceed to do so.
Commissioner Do Young says the big
manufacturers and the liberal arts edllico Is
BO arranged that It will not have
anything like theroom needed for the
three departments that nro to go
under its roof. The classification
committee accepted Mr. Do Young's
views and passed a resolution endorsing his
figures uml recommending that tlio commis
sion ask for another building in which to
place the liberal arts and ethnology exhibi
tion , leaving the manufacturers nlonu in UK-
main building.
If the national commission concurs in the
report of Its classification committee and de
mands additional space the directors will bo
up n very tall tree. They will cither huvo to
iirnoro the demand and run the risk of u con
flict with the commission or else they will bo
confronted with the necessity of providing
the additional building in a very snort lime
and nt an Increased expanse to themselves.
No ray of light alfts through the clouds
that diipross the directory.
The contractors nt the grounds are making
notable progress with the construction work
and already eight of the prineip.il buildings ,
agriculture , administration , electricity , horticulture
ticulture , mines , manufncturoors , transpor
tation and woman's buildings , are under way
nnd ono , tbo woman's building will bo under
roof within a fortnight.

NEW Yoiiit , Aug. 21.- The Herald this
morning has Valparaiso , Chill , cable des
patches substantially M follows :
President Ualmaccdn nnd the Junta Do
Gobiorno are clinched In the llaal dosparato
struggle for the maUory of the republic of
Chill.
The chosen battle ground Is In full vloxv of
the city ot Valparaiso and thousands of anx
ious eyes nro watching from every point ot
vantage the battle which Is to decldo the fate
of the country. The b.ittlo ha ) been raging
practically for three days. Tno tlrst engage
ment was at the mouth of the Aconcagua
river on Friday , nnd resulted in a reverse to
the government. The llnal test of strength
is now being rando at Vina Del Marboach ,
directly across Valparaiso bay and less than
flvo miles away.
When news reached hero that nn army of
0,000 rebels had ooon landed at Quintoro bay
Thursday , Balmaccda and his generals were
taueu by surprise but the utmost activity
was used In getting troops to the front so far
ns possible to prevent the Invading army
from crossing the Aconcagua river. Immedi
ately south of the nay. Tlio arrangements
were made hurriedly and only n little over
half of the troops were available for this
purpose. Six of the Insurgent war ships
were anchored in Cosnon bay , ut the mouth
of the river , and under the cover of their
guns the army of the junta undertook the
task of forcing a passage of the nvor Friday
morning. A most desperate and bloody battle
tlo resulted , which lasted nearly all day. A
galling llro from the insurgent army which
was parked on the northern bank of the
river , aided by the heavy battcrloi and ma
chine guns from the ships , was too much for
the govern mout trooDS nnd they were forced
to retire , which they did in good order.
Both ildos fought with the utmost valor
and while less than 20,000 troops were engaged -
gaged , tno list of casualties Is nearly a.OOi )
man killed and wounded.
The general In command of the govern
ment forces selected a strong position on the
beach of Vina Del Mar , the eastern shore of
Valparaiso bay , as his second line of defense ,
and leaving n force in front of the enemy to
cheek his progress , took his place there yesterday -
torday and wont to strengthen it as much as
possible.
All day long the insurgent forces pushed
their way steadily forward , driving the com
paratively small government force before
them. It was a constant skirmish for fifteen
miles over broken country. At every point
of vnntngo the Balmncodists made u stand ,
and , while they constantly were forced to
give way before superior numbers , they re
tained the advance and gave the main army
nt Vinn Del Mar n chance to better prepare
itself for the decisive tight.
It was not until late in the evening that
the attacking army arrived in front of ttal-
inaceda's main line of defense. . It was then
too late to give battlo. In the meantime
President Halmaccdn , with every available
man in his department nnd with himself in
command , wont to the front. Ho had over
ten thousand available fighting men , while
the insurgent forces had boon reduced to less
than seven thousand.
At the back of the government line Is Fort
Callno , the heavy guns of which have done
good work in today's battle , both in harrass-
ing the enemy by land and preventing tf.o
Insurgent fleet , which had entered the hay ,
last night from doing anything more ofifoetivo
than long range llring.
The congrosslonall.Hts attacked n force
this morning and nil day long the'battle has
raged with the .utmost liorcenes ? .
The war ships did all they co'jld to aid their
land forces , but they had too ttfuch regard for
the honvy eiins in the fort'i and were com
pelled to do their fighting at long range.
Consequently they wore not nearly so effect
ive In aiding the land ntVack as they had been
nt the passage of the Aeonagua Friday. They
sent as many men ns they could spare , with
all their available machine nud rapid firing
guns , to aid , as a np.vnl auxiliary brigade , the
attack on ISnlmacaUa's position.
The most Intense excitement prevails in
this city. The roar of the heavy artillery
and the sharp rattto of small arms are soundIng -
Ing through the street and are echoed back
from the high hills surrounding the city.
Everybody who Is left hero has sought some
place overlooking the buttle around , and
thousands of people are watching the dcspor-
ate struggle which Is being fought under
their very eyes.
The scone from Valparaiso Is ono of awful
grandeur. A heavy pull of smoke hangs like
n cloud over the contending armies. It is lit
almost continuously bv nhtirp flashes of light
from the cannon and rillos and the thunder
ous roar of the artillery can bo unceasingly
heard. The most powerful glass cannot
Dcncitrnto the cloud of smoke and only occa
sionally can the movement of the troops bo
oven guessed at , though from Gruser point
glimpses of the charging rogluiouts can be
occasionally seen.
There Is a constant stream of wounded
being brought Into the city from the front
and temporary hospitals are being fitted up
wharever posslblo. Nearly all the women
who had not loft the city have volunteered
their services ns nurses nnd the full medical
force of the city have their hands full.
From the wounded and their attendants
only the most fragmentary information ns to
the progress of the light can be obtained and
It U utterly impossible nt this writing to
form any judgment ns to which side is gel-
tine the better of it.

enlisted men. In reference to guard
duty nt the camp , Cnntaln Eskrldgo says It
developed rapid progress , The drills pro
scribed xvoro hold xvith great regularity. The
batalllon drills showed marked improvement
ever last year nud company drills xvoro gen
erally good. The captain refers to the good
behavior of the men xvhtlo in camp. During
the xvhole time ot the encampment ho did not
see a case of drunkenness or disorderly con
duct.
Texas Is to ho congratulated upon having
abandoned the hippodrome of prize drills and
sham battles formerly In vogue. The evolu
tions and exercises referred to in the report
as u slimn battle , ho nays , did not generate
Into huch an absurd farce as usually prac
ticed before u large and admiring nudlnnco at

llclal.
Among the recommendations in the report
is ona thut the annual encampment bo held
ii : May or June Instead of July or August , as
the cuptdln thinks the weather In either of

results.

to TIIK BBK.J Ed Short , deputy United

placed on the safe and , opening the door of

xvas standing on the platform of tha smoker.
The llrst ball from Bryant's revolver p.issed .
through Short's body. Short returned the '
llro with his Winchester , both men receiving
mortal wounds. Bryant emptied six chain ,
bora of his revolver ixnd Short Hred ton bhou
from his Winchester.
The double killing ends another chapter in

ness , nud in the toxvns of Uodgo City , Platt

ceeded before the toxvn governments xvero
fairly established in settling his claim as tha
bravest man in town.
Short xx-as nUv.iys made toxvn marshal. In
ISStl when Snm Wood needed n llouton.iut ,
xvith a reputation for daring , to protocMiim
from Sam Hobinson , the man xvho subse
quently murdered Shorilt Cross and posse in
No Man's Land , ho sent for Short xvho win
nt that time in the territory.
The story of the trouble botxvoon Ed Short
nnd Sum Hobinson Is that of the xx'holosnle
butchery of Shun II Cross nnd posse In No
Man's Land. One day as Uobinson sat in
front of hi ? ofllee on the main street of
Hugoton , Ed Short , riding his horse nt
bivnkneck speed , came down the street frou :
tno opposite direction. As lie passed Uobin-
HOU ho saiii , "I have n warrant for you ,

Robinson as ho passed. The bullets
missed their mark and Kohluson grabbing a
Winchester from behind the door opened lira
on Short , xvho xvns galloping madlv down thu
street , mulling his xvay back to Woodsdule.
A posse Was organized to pursue him but
Short made good his escape.
It xvns ono of the lights between Short anil
Robinson that resulted in the killing of the
Cross posse. Short had secured n warrant
for Hoblnson's arrest and had chased him
down In the strip. The word xx-as brought to
Woodsdalo that the Robinson faction had
more men than Short and xvouid unquestion
ably get the best of a fight nnd Shorilt Cross
org.inizod his posse of six men logo to Short'u
assistance.
The Cross party xrns sleeping under n haystacK -

countered them. Tbo sleepers xvoro sur
rounded , captured nnd made to stand in u

Short returned home at once and xvas ono

murderers nt Paris , Tex. When Oklnhomii
