Only three nro known this morning to have est their lives , but the injured number over twenty. Fragments of the walls still stand and many are ready to topple over , and the adjacent streets are fllled with wreckage.

The assessed valuation of the julldlngs destroyed was $7C > 0,000 , the moro important being : Ames building , $228,500 ; Brown , Durrell & Co. building , owned by the Boston Heal Estate trust , $ ir > ,000 ; Lincoln street , owned by.T. S. Farlow heirs , $103- 000 ; corner of Lincoln and Tufts streets , owned by J. S. Farlow , $120,000. A carotid canvass of all Partridge & Co.'a employes leads to the belief that all escaped and that the reports of loss of life in the Ames building nro unfounded.

A thorough search lias been made in the hospitals and morgues , but no trace of him can bo found , Just as the warn ing cry was raised Modlorno was seen to leave the fourth story , whcro ho was en gaged , and It Is possible that , In his descent of the stairway , a sudden burst of flames cut off his escape , 4iml that his body now lies under the debris.
