at eleven a. in., yesterday reached here at
eeren o'clock.
It brotiRbl a number ol people looking for
missing fl leads and relatives, acd their in
sotctioa'of the lour remaining be dies, or
remnants of bodies, reunited In the idenii
fisatioa of two, viz: Jsi e Gardner, mulat
to, of Port Robinson, Ontario, hut recently
living at Tittisvillo, and Mrs. Green.
Jane Gardner la ibe one who bad the most
cloibing on, and was one ef the most easily
identified.
Mrs. Charlotte Green, of Spring Creeki
Pa., was tdentlfid by a Mr. But lerfield.
Irom tbe same place. Theie was uolbiog
left tf her but ber trunk nud n small piece
of ber bead.
She was recognlced by e breastpin, which
clusely adhered lo the frozen flesh, and also
by a little piece of clothing between the
shoulder blades.
There sra now two trunks remaining, one
undoubtedly, Mr. Orvllle Swill, of Corry.
There is a difference of opinion as lo tbe sex
of the other, but as no woman is claimed it
is thought it may be Frank Green. Dr.
Chase is strongly of tbe opinion, however,
that it is a woman, for tbe reason that there
Is plainly to be seen tbe mark of a cbemiss
band arouud Ibe breast aod bark, below
wbich tbe body was baked while above it
was little burned. Tkero are also little
bits of melted steel, it is supposed from a
Corset, tound butied in the flesh. If Ibis
should be claimed as a woaao Mrs. Green
waa entirely consumed.
Tbe injured are doing very well, with Ike
exception ol Tlckoor, Cook aod Flaoder?.
Tbo two former remain abont tbe same.
