LONDON, April 29. MavDay in England
promises to be peacefully observed. The
celebration of the day will be limited to a
demonstration in Hyde Park, under the
auspices of the London Trades' Council.
This demonstration will probably be con
fined to speeches. It is already arranged
that 16 platforms shall be erected, from
which relays of speakers will address the
crowd.
The action of the authorities in arresting
the editor and publisher of the Anarchist
paper, the Commonweal, is likely to exercise
a wholesome restraint on those who are in
clined to be turbulent' The authorities
predict that everything .will be quiet
Resolutions will be adopted af each of the
Hyde Park meetings, declaring that the es
tablishment of an international eight-hour
day will be the most important step toward
the ultimate freedom of the workingmen,
and urging Parliament to pass the eight
hour law.
Sbain Anarchists Flock to nc;land.
Nearly 100 foreign Anarchists- are said to
have arrived in London during the past
week, but the revolutionists declare that
the greater portion of them are sham An
archists, sent by the continental police to
watch and report the doings of the refugees
in Loudon.
A mysterious incident, which many per
sons connect with the Anarchists and their
preparations for May Day, occurred at
Fleetwood Tuesday night A sentry on
guard at the magazine was attacked by two
men, who knocked him down and en
deavored to take his rifle from him. Dur
ing the struggle the sentry managed to
touch the electric bell communicating with
the guardroom. The men evidently beard
the soldiers run from the guardhouse,
whereupon the sentry's assailants fled.
The Unionists continue to make every
preparation for their mammoth anti-home
rule demonstration in Ulster. The se
riousness of the movement can be judged
lrom a speech made by the Marquis of Lon
donderry at Dublin last night, when he
said it is the duty of tho Irish Unionists to
bring before the English voter tho fact
that within 20 miles. of his shores he might
have a hostile Parliament and a hostile
country.
A Mrr.acs Id Time of War.
It would be impossible, he declared, t
exaggerate the danger this would be to
England in case of a foreign war. The
Unionist convention, to be held in June,
must prove to the English that the Ulster
ites are determined to resist by every
means in their power any attempt to repeal
the union of Great Britain and Ireland.
The Marquis added:
"If home rule is carried there must be
civil war in Ireland." This statement pro
duced tremendous cheering and cries of
"Ulster will fight" Ulster men could not
be handed over to the dictates of an Irish
Parliament, continued the Marquis, a ma
jority of whom they knew to be men whose
actions and words proved them a disgrace to
anv civilized country.
Earlier in the week the Duke of Devon
shire spoke at Derby. This was the first
time he had addressed a political meeting
since his elevation to the House of Lords.
In his speech he drew a parallel between
the condition of affairs at the time of the
great revolution and the state of affairs that
would be created bv passing any home rule
measure that would be approximately satis
factory to the Nationalists.
1 bo Right or Rebellion Affirmed.
He declared that in the event of the
adoption of such a home rule measure the
Protestant minority of Ulster would be sub
ject to the tyranny, not of a King, but of a
majority dominated by the same alien creed
in its least form. He maintained that the
richt of resistance which belonged to their
forefathers also belonged to their coteni
ptyraries, although they must avail them
selves of the right at" their own risk, and
stand ready to be praised or condemned ac
cording to as they succeeded or the reverse.
The indorsement of" the Ulster movement
by two such men as the Marquis of London
derry and the Duke of Devonshire has
caused a sensation, and has shown how
deeply serious the movement is.
The Liberals in Parliament have been
congratulating themselves lor a few days
past upon a report that the Speaker would
not allow Mr. Blane to make his proposed
motion, that the time has now arrived to
grant home rule to Ireland, and that Mr.
Gladstone's ingenuity would not be taxed
in making a reply to the motion, which, it
is considered, is nothing more or less than
an attempt to forc6 from Mr. Gladstone a
declaration of what his home rule bill will
be.
The Liberals Badly Nonplused.
The Liberals contended that Mr. Blane's
motion could not be heard ou Fridav week,
as it had been forestalled by Mr.
Clarke, who gave notice of his intention to
raise the question of legislation regarding
local affairs in Great Britain and Ireland
to-daVj and, according to the Liberal inter
pretation ol the rules, a question having
been debated and disposed of one week
cannot be again discussed at a subsequent
date; but this afternoon, when Mr. Mc
Carthy a.ked whether the discussion of Mr.
Clarke's motion would not prejudice Mr.
Blane's motion, the Speaker gave a cold
chill to the Liberals and McCarthvites by
announcing that the discussion would in no
way prejudice or interfere with Mr. Blane's
motion,.
Tne newspaper, Modern Society, comment
ing on the anti-Socialists' praise of Ameri
can women, takes occasion to make a most
vile and despicable attack upon Americans.
The writer, who presumably knows as'much
about the subject of American women as he
docs of any other, says that the horrible im
purity of the most fashionable girls in the
iargest cities of the Union is well known.
. "The Deacon marriage, minus the pistol
shot," he adds, "is the typical American
menage. The truth is London society is
impure jhere Americans will be apt to ad
mit that the writer speaks from knowledge,
though, may be, after all is said and done, it
is'less so than society in New York."
EULEMBEBG'S PAT 18 8AFE.
The Prussian Opposition Decides Not to
Embarrass the New Premier.
- Beklin, April 29. The Landtag reas
sembled yesterday. In the Lower House
the question ot the salary to be voted to
Count von Eulenberg, the new President of
the Prussian Ministerial Council, came up
for debate. Count von Eulenberg said the
separation of the Imperial Chancellorship'
and the Presidency of the Prussian Minis
try was not a mere transitorial arrange
ment The Chancellor, as Prussian For
eign 3Iinlster, would still represent Pros-
sia in the Bundesratb, -while the separation
of the post would greatly relieve the pres
sure of work in both.
Dr. toq Bosss, Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affaire, said a school bill could not be ex
pected at present, and it was first necessary
to effect a complete reform inthe taxation
system. Conservative and Centrist speak
ers condemned the Government's with
drawal of the primary education bill, but
all declared that they would support the
vote for Count von Eulenberg's salary in
order to avoid embarrassing the Govern
ment. THE LEAVEN OP ANARCHY
Seems to Be Working as Vigorously as
Ever In Continental Society Socialistic
Literature Among the Armies Club
Bootes Balded and Proclamations
Seized.
Pakis, April 29. Two soldiers were ar
rested at Marseilles to-day on suspicion of
being in communication with Anarchists.
The polioe of Laon Department of Isne re
moved a number of Anarchist placards that
had been affixed to the walls of the prefec
ture of police, the mayor's office, the law
courts and many private houses. The
placards declared that these buildings.would
be blown up. Five Italian Anarchists were
arrested at Nice to-day and expelled from
France. Three Anarchists were arrested at
Choisy-Le-Boi.
All of the recent incendiarv fires in the
town of Langean were caused by infernal
machines containing inflammable materials
in addition to explosives. Several of the
burned houses were first drenched with
petroleum. Three persons suspected of be
ing inoendiaries have been arrested. The
streets of the town are patrolled by gen-
oarmes.
Tho Anarchists of this city have suc
ceeded in distributing violent manifestoes
among the soldiers in various barracks,
where, however, their tenets find no ac
ceptance. The public galleries of the Bourse
were closed to-day in consequence of the
receipt of letters threatening to blow up the
Bourse. A bomb with a half-burned fuse
attached was found in the Bue Flenrua to
day. Two loaded bombs were found near
the Church of St Denis. The sub prefecture
at Kspalion was burned to-day. The fire is
attributed to Anarchists.
A dispatch from Berlin says: There was
a strong suspicion among the officers of the
troops stationed at Halle" that the men were
being approached by Socialists with a view
to weakening their allegiance to the Gov
ernment. Investigation verified the sus
picions, for in the men's quarters were dis
covered Socialistic manuscripts, callinsr
upon them to join the Socialists in efiect
ing a regeneration of the body politic
A dispatch from Madrid says: The police
were apprised of t"he existence of a mani
festo, calling upon workingmen to arise
and wipe.out capital on May Day. Every
workingmen's club in the citv was sur
rounded by the police, and a raid was made
on the occupants. The result was the cap
ture of a laree number of Anarchists.
Among the prisoners was Vincente Lorenzo,
an intimate friend of Bavachol, the Paris
Anarchist, and the leader of the Barcelona
Anarchists. The clubs were-closed.
DEEMING ALSO A SNEAK THIEF.
He Stole the Jewels Which Ho Presented to
One or His tady Loves.
Melbotjbne, April 29! The trial of
Deeming was continued in the Criminal
Court here to-day. The prisoner was silent
and downcast The most Interesting witness
was Miss Kate Kounsevell, the young lady
to whom Deeming, who had then assumed
the name of Swanston, was engaged to be
married, and who was upon the point of
joining him in the Southern Cross gold
fields when he was arrested. She narrated
the storv of how she met Deeming nn n
steamer bound for Sydney, and how finally
she accepted "the proposal of marriage he
made to her. Throughout her evidence
Miss Kounsevell spoke of Deeming politely
and tinresenttully. She declared that
Deeming's manner toward her had always
been courteous and kind.
Mr. Hirschfeldt, who accompanied Deem
ing at the time he was arrested from Perth,
"West Australia, to Melbourne, was sub
jected to a severe cross-examination, coun
sel for the prisoner trying to elicit from him
whether Deeming had displayed any signs
of insanity on the voyage. The witness
stated, however, that in his opinion Deem
ing was perfectly sane. The evidence of a
Mr. Vivian, salesman for Messrs. Kil
patrick, jewelers, Melbourne, showed the
prisoner to be a sneak thief as well as a
murderer. Vivian testified that the prisoner
made various purchases at the shop, and
aoont the time Deeming, who then called
himself "Dawson," was there, two rings
were missed, Thee were the rings which
the prisoner afterward presented to Miss

THE WIFE'S PA8SI0X FOR R0BIHS0N
fSFECIAL TELXQEA3C TO THE DISPATCH. J
Sax FBAifCiaco, April 29. The steamer
Belglo arrived this afternoon with Yoko
hama papers containing fall reports of the
trial and acquittal of Lieutenant Hether
ington, of the United States steamship
Marion, for shooting Gower Bobinson.
Tie evidence, even that of Gower Bobln
son's own servants,shows that he was a pro
fessional libertine, who boasted of his con
quests, and letters that were made public on
the trial show him in a despicable light, as
he had repeatedly, to the woman he had
compromised, assured her he had burned her
letters, when he afterward showed them to
his friends, and broke his solemn promise to
Captain Bartlett not to speak to Mrs.
Hetherington at any entertainment, and
also his promise to Hetherington not to re
turn to Yokohama while he and his wife
were there.
A.C. Beed, a British subject and close
personal friend of Bobinson testified to Eob
inson's showing him letters that Mrs. Heth
erington sent him. He said:
The letters wero not nice reading. In
some of the letters Robinson was reproached
in terms ofjealousy. That lie had been nt
tentive.to other married women was one
cause of complaint
Money Sent to the False Wife.
B. H. Pearson, another friend of Bobln--son,
testified to carrying a letter from him
to Mrs. Hetherington, and also giving her
two $10 bills one for her and one for her
Amah, or nurse, to keep the woman silent
Bobinson showed one witness the letters
after he had burned those which Beed read,
showing that he must have had a large num
ber. "Witness often saw Bobinson In tears
over his trouble with the Hetheringtons,
and heard him say he pitied the Lieutenant,
but pever heard him say he was sorry for
the woman.
Hetherington's counsel tried to bring out
testimony from the wife of Paymaster Bay
that Bobinson had distributed broadcast
pictures of himself, so that Mrs. Hethering
ton could not go anywhere without seeing
them. In this they were measurably suc
cessful. Blanchard, being recalled, testified that
Bobinson told him that after returning
from Tokio he asked Mrs. Hetherington to
drive with him to a hotel, bnt instead he
took her to his honse, and that when she
saw he was. taking her past the hotel she
tried to jump out, but he whipped up his
horse and prevented her. That was after
midnight
A Messenger Who Became Known.
Mrs. Hetherington's Amah, or nurse, tes
tified that, she knew Robinson's boy very
well, as he had brought many notes to her
mistress. She said:
Robinson's boy came so often the hotel
boys asked me whether he wasn't my hus
band. The hoy told me his master was bad
and changed his sweetheart every two
months.
Lieutenant Hetherington was then called.
His testimony fills eight long columns. He
described his fears for the safety of his chil
dren while his wife was on the ocean voy
age. The first Intimation he had of her
arrival was a notice of her name in the
Yokohama papers. He continued:
I came ashore at onoe and went to her
room, but she was not there. I saw signs in
the room that the child was there.' as there
was a cradle. I waited about SO minutes be
fore I saw her. When she came in with the
Amah, baby and another lady, her greeting
was not what I expected. She was not the
same woman, and 1 couldn't understand it
My life has been nhbappy since that time.
Hetherington then gave instances of
special attentions paid to his wife by Bob
inson which first excited his attention. He
liked Bobinson, and never suspected him
until one day when making a call at Bob
inson's house his wife went back for her
veil and Bobinson followed. Something in
his actions aroused Hetherington's sus
picions, and when his wile treated her hus
band coolly he spoke to her of the incident
and she said she knew he did not like it
Detectives Placed on the Trail.
At St Andrew's ball Bobinson paid Mrs.
Hetherington much attention. The next
day witness came ashore, determined to
settle matters with Bobinson.
Hetherington said on December 7 he put
two detectives on the track of his wife and
Bobinson. The witness continued;
I wrote a letter to Bobinson in which I
told him I knew he had not kept his word,
and if ever he tried to interfere with my
wire I'd take it out of bis miserable hide.
One morning while on shore, before I was
entirely dressed, I looked into. my wife's
valise, where I found notes and other things
she had received from Robinson, when I
came across a letter which was not formal.
The following letter was then read by Mr.
Tison and put in evidence:
My Own, My Pet I got your letter when
I got up this morning, tears running down
my cheeks, and I was laughing loud. I be
lieve I was mad for a few minutes. "Don't
ask me to meet you again." "I mean to be a
better wife, and good night and goodby,"
seemed to bo all mixed up in my brain.
Good, God, darling! You don't mean you are
going to throw me over after all that hns
passed? Have you no heart? No, I cannot
believe it Those great big, blue. loving
eyes looked too true into mine and'didnot
lie when they looked what your lips said: "I
love you," and yet you say all is over. My
love, see me once more. Let me kiss those
lips and eyes once more, and then well, for
get if you possibly can.
Plans Laid for an Elopement.
Hetherington then gave another letter
which Bobinson wrote, evidently with the
intention that it should be seen by the
husband. At the same time he sent her
money and a letter containing a plan for an
elopement to Denver, she to take her baby.
After a talk with jlartlett, Hetherington
decided to 'horsewhip Bobinson. Hether
ington testified:
My wife was at the window one day, when
she called out, saying: "Come hero; here's
our friend." Just as he got by, I called out :
." You're a blackguard," and shook at him a
liorsewhiD and went out of the hotel, but
was dissuaded from my purpose.
Hetherington's counsel read a letter from
Mrs. Hetherington to Bobinson. Follow
ing are some extracts :
In all this trouble I have neverlostfalth in
you until now. In tho first place, von told
me you had burned all my letters. Sow you
sav von have them. What do vou mean by
that? I would like to know. The letter thy
Judge lias of yours he will never give up to
his dying day. The Judge said he believed I
was nothing more than your mistress, and
would not livo with me. lie apologized lor
that, hut only yesterdav said" that
if he ever found out I had
deceived him, he would shoot
mo witbont one moment's warning. 1 am
not fit to touch him, but I, am going to do
better. 'You must not expect me to have
anything to' do with you at all. Can't you
understand how I feel? How dare yon tell
me that you supposed I had mounted a nigh
stool of respectability? I never fell off that
stool nntil I fell into your arms, and I shall
never, nt tempt to mount it again in my own
mind. Gower, for God's sake take back what
you said. Don't say you hate me.
Hetherington Wanted to Horsewhip.
Hetherington's testimony continues:
1 got on well with my wife, although my
married life was not entirely restored. It
was undermined, I considered, by Bobinson.
,1 tried to make my wife love me, but had
most anection xor tne cima. 1 Knew I
would soon have to leave Yokohoma. I
knew Bobinson desired to have my wife
and baby. I heard about his will in favor of
my wife, and was anxious lest bis riches,
whatever they may have been, might be
made use of against me.
Hetherington also gave his version of the
shooting, saying he fired only to brng Bob
inson to, 10 he could horsewhip him.
From 'good authority is learned the
reason why Hetherington made up with his
wife and agreed to lire with her. Mr.
PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,
Tison, the Professor of Law at Tokio Col
lege, agreed to defend Hetherington only on
bis promise that the Lieutenant should be
come reconciled to his wife before the trial
began. Hetherington agreed to this with
great reluctance.

HARRISON AS A REFORMER.
The Civil Service League, After Damning
Him With Faint Praise for Appointing a
Very Good Commission, Condemns Him
for Breaking His Party's Solemn
Pledges.
Baltimobe, April 29. At the annual
meeting to-day of the National Civil Serv
ice Beform League, George "William Curtis
was re-elected President A letter from
"William Dudley Foulke, of Indiana, to
President Harrison, dated 'December 26,
and the answer of the President thereto,
were read. Mr. Foulke, in his letter, says:
The civil service reform act designated
postofflces and custom houses having less
than 50 employes, as offices to which the
system is applicable, by piovidlng for its ex
tension to these places whenever so ordered
by yon. The declaration of the platform
could have no meaning if it did not relet- to
suoh offices. The able Civil Servioe Com-
mtsslonersappolntcd by you have repeatedly
urged that this system be extended to post-
offices having 25 employes or
more, yet dur
ing neany three years
of vour term von
nave not made it.
President Harrison writes, in reply,
under date of December 31, 1891:
I have not time this morning to discuss at
any length the question whloli you present
or to attempt any restatement of what I
have attempted to do in the promotion of
civil service reform movements since I have
been here. My thought was that the first
thing to do was to satisfy the oountry tha,t
the law Is being faithfully and Impartially
administered as to those offices already
classified. I think a good deal has been ac
complished in that direction, and there has
been an important extension or the classified
service. The subject presented vby you, as
well as some other suggested movements,
has been having and willhave my considera
tion, bnt I am not prepared to announce any
programme. Very trulv yours.
Bekj. ILumisoir.
The report of the Committee on Besolu
tions, submitted by Carl Sohurz, commends
the President for appointing an admirable
commission, and admits that much good has
been accomplished, but adds that "the
solemn promises of the Bepublican platform
of 1888 nave been broken, voluntary pledges
of the President have been unfulfilled.
-and the claim of the Bepublican party, how
ever strong may De tne sympathy ot indi
vidual Bepublicans, to be distinctly the
party of civil service reform, is not sus
tained by the course of the administration."

yesterday the Sergeant at Arms had been
given warrants for the arrest of absentee
members. He wonld.now ask the officer to
make his report After some debate as to
the power of the House to order arrests
after it had adjourned, Colonel Ike Hill
proceeded to the Bpace in front of the
Speaker's desk and submitted his report
Colonel Hill stated that 19 warrants had
been put in his hands. Two members he
had failed to find; one had been suddenly
called away on account of sickness in his
familv: four were out of town. He had
notified the other 12, and they had promised
to be here this morning.
The Speaker stated that the Sergeant at
Arms had called on him last night and asked
what he should do with the members upon
whom he had served warrants. The Speaker
had taken the liberty to instruct him to
notify them to be present to-day. The
recalcitrant members were then summoned
to the bar of the House, and called upon to
present such excuses for their absence as
they might see fit
Bowers' Crime Was in Being Caught.
Mr. Bowers, of
person arraiened.
California, was the first
He said his offense con.
sisted in being caught He had been present
yesterday, but had gone home in order to
answer the letters of persons wanting pen
sions, or of persons who did not want some
body else appointed postmaster.. He had
no intention of infracting the rules of the
House. He thought he obeyed them as well,
if not better, than the average member.
A motion to excuse Mr. Bowers was
made, but many members believing the ar
rest of a member for neglect of duty was
not mere child's play, but a serious" matter,
demanded the yeas and nays. Before the
announcement of the vote, Mr. Burrows, of
Michigan, said that he understood) that sev
eral gentlemen who were under arrest had
voted upon the question. He made the
point of order that gentlemen under arrest
could take no part in the proceedings of the
House.
Some Partisan Applause Evoked.
Mr. Beed, of Maine, seconded Mr. Bur
rows in his point, and in the" course of his
remarks said that all this fuss and difficul
ty arose from the attempt to override the
Constitution. (Applause on the Bepubli
can side, and derisive laughter on the Dem
ocratic side.)
Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, inquired
whether the gentlemen (Messrs. Beed and
Burrows) and other gentlemen on the other
side did not sit in their seats and refuse to
vote.
Mr. Beed said that the gentlemen were
present under the laws and the Constitution,
and they constituted a quorum and were
ready to be counted as such order. On the
question of voting that was an affair (as he
had heard gentlemen on the other side say)
between them and their constituents.
The SDeaker did not think he had author
ity to order a member's name to be elim
inated from the roll call, and overruled the
point of order.
Mr. Bowers was excused yeas 130,
navs 65.
The next name called was that of Mr.
Dunphy.of New York, but Mr. Tracey stated
the gentleman had been called home on ac
count of death In his family. , . -A
Pertinent Joke on Harter.
Mr. Ellis, of Kentucky, was also excused,
as was Mr. Harter, of Ohio, notwithstand
ing Mr. Caruth's appeal that he be 'fined one
silver dollar.
Mr. Hemphill's visit to his dentist was
considered a valid excuse for his absence,
while Mr. McDonald's walk with some of
his constitutents in whom he was interested
his wife and children was also deemed a
sufficient reason.
Mr. Meredith, of Virginia, acknowledged
being at the race course. He had gone
there to see whether there was
anything demoralizing in racing, in
order that . he might draw up a measure
to remedy shy evils that might exist. He
was excused.
Messrs. Pickler, Randall, Stackhouse,
Tracey, and "Warwick were Also excused.
This cleared the dock.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, asked -that the
House go into committee on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation, but Mr. Boat-
ner, of Louisiana, demanded the regular
order, which the Speaker stated was the
"Walker expunging resolution.
Mr. Breckinridge, ot Kentucky, suggested
the advisability of having the case nolle
prossed.
Beed Ont for Feaoe and Harmony.
Mr. Beed said he was sure that if the
gentleman should ask unanimous consent
tor the complete withdrawal of the resolu
tion there would be no objection and "we
can all live in peace and harmony." But
Mr.TBreckinrldge declined to take this step,
and on motion of Mr. McMillin the "Walker
matter was postponed until to-morrow.
The House then went into committee of the
whole, Mr. Hatch, of Missouri,in the chair.
No business of importance was trans
acted and ex-Speaker Beed during acol-
loquy with Bepresentative Bailey, of
Texas, declared the present Honse a laugh
ing stock for gods and men.
The Sibley tent bill which has been clog
ging the private legislation for the past two
months was finally laid aside, with a favor
able , recommendation, after .having been
amended so as to refer the claim to the
Court of Claims for adjudication. The
Hiram Johnson bill, a Tennesse war claim,
which has received Attention for many Con
gresses, was debated for the remainder of
the afternoon without determination. The
committee then arose, and the House, with
out disposing of the Sibley bill, took a re
cess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to
be for the consideration of private pension
bills.
A Way to Make Members Attend.
Bepresentative Bailey, of Texasghaj pre
pared and introduced in the House an
amendment to the rales, which, if adopted,
will assure a large Attendance of members at
the daily sessions'Sf the House, and relieve
that ' body frori the embarrassment from
which it has, suffered. The amendment di
rects the Sa'geant at Arms to withhold, at
the end of rach mouth, the pay of a member
until he fles with the Sergeant at Arms a
written statement that he has not been ab
sent from the House during the preceding
month. If a member has been absent, and
such absence was not necessary on account
or the sickness of himself or some member
of his family (the statement to set forth the
exact number of days of absence occasioned
by other than the above causes), the Ser
geant at Arms is to deduct the salary for
thedays of absence occasioned by other than
the above causes, as provided in section 40,
Revised Statutes. Any violation of this rule
by the Sergeant at Arms shall make him
liable, on his bond, for all payments made
,contrary to the provisions of section 40.

POOR FLORALORELLA
Positively Identified Among tho Corpses in
Philadelphia Recovered From the Big
Fire A Brother Just From Pittsbnrg
Fails to Recognize the Body Six Small
Bsya Are Said to Be Cremated.
Philadelphia, April 29. After two
hours' hard work in the ruins of the burned
theater this morning the searchers had the
melancholy satisfaction of uncovering part
of a body. Half an hour's more work
brought the body completely into view, but
the charred and blackened mass of flesh bore
so little likeness to a human being thatit
could not be told whether it was a man
or a woman. Little more than the trunk
of the body was left. The head was
gone, both arms were off to the elbows and
both legs to above the knees. All the cloth
ing was burned away.
The clothing found beneath it was
identified by the wardrobe woman of the
theater as that "of Mrs. Flora Lorella, a
ballet dancer.
The search for bodies in the theater ruins
was stopped at noon, because of the danger
that the overhanging walls might fall on
the teachers. These will be taken down at
once and the search resumed.
John Mitchell, a brother or Mrs. Flora
Lorella, who lost her life in the Central
Theater fire, arrived here this morning from
Pittsburg, where he worked as a compositor
on The Dispatch, and visited the morgue
where the headless trunk recovered from
the ruins this morning was lvinz.
Mr. Mitchell, after his first shudder of
horror, turned away, his disbelief converted
to the conviction that he was not looking
on his sister's corpse. "No," he said,
"that is not Flora. The bones are too
small. Although my sister was of low
stature and plnmp, her bones were all heavy

and large.' Mr. Mitchell next visited the
boarding house at which members of the
company were staying, and then told them
of his conviction; but Mrs. Overpeck, the
wardrobe keeper, assured him that he was
in error.
Special Officer McGarrity, who was in the
theater at the time the fire started, tells a
startling story. He says that he saw six
boys, apparently companions, rush for the
fire escape, where they were soon struggling
with a mass of desperate men who paid at
tention to the safety of no one but them
selves. The boys were quickly relegated to
the rear, as the mob pushed its" way forward.
He says they were suiely lost
