Chicago, July 12, 1893. HE dead by tlio flro on Monday night nro now known to bo twelve, while two sufferers nre lying in the Emergency hospital gasping away tho few hours of life which aro yet allotted to them. Tho numbered dead include thoso who diod in tho host ital from thoir injuries and tho unfortunates whoso charred and blackened trunks wore taken from tho mass ol debris now adorning tho space near the Sixty-fourth street on' trail co, whero on Monday stood a hand soraoly whitewashed structure Tho unknown dead will probably novor bo known, but efforts aro being made by tho aid of powerful machinery, to lift tho network of freezing pipes, allowing tlio firemen to delve stilt deeper for tlio remains which, it Is conceded by all, aro certainly wedged below. Tlio following list Is explanatory of tho fatalities thus far known : James Tltzpatrlck, 54 years old, captain Engine Company No. 2; John II. Freeman, lieutennnt Compnny No. 1; William Den' nlng, Truck Company No. 1; N. Hnrt mann, lineman; Philip P.

Frank, Engine Company No. 1, expected to die today; Slgmund Nortlrurn, Engine Company No, 2, cannot live twelve hours. i The tour Columbian Guards who wero reportod in the list of missing have boen heard form. At daylight yesterday Marshal King and twenty laborers were at work on the ruins, They used their implements well and by 7 o'clock three bodies were recovered from the ruins, but they were so badly charged and disfigured as to make recognition ab solutely Impossible. Ono thing seems quite evident, however, and that is that the bodies discovered are not the remains of firemen. The locality in which they were found seems to preclude the possi bility. AH the Bremen who lost their Uvea were huddled in the dreadful Are trap at the top of the phatt, and their bodies fell somewhere within the small circle sur rounding the smokestack. Those recovered yesterday were evl- dently not the remains of any who jumped or fell from the tower, because they were found at a somewhat remoto distance from this point, and under a mass of Bteamplpo and maohtnery that must have fallen from above. That glveB color to the fearful an prehension that the firemen were by no means the only ones who fell victims to the flames, and the publio Is disposed to doubt the declarations that employes and visitors were out of. the building before the conflagration bad reached a dangerous stage. The search work went on with but one short intermission until shortly after 4 o'clock, when one body was brought to the surface. Like tho others It was oharred beyond recognition. The only remnant of clothing left was a patch of linen the fii to of a hand, which clung to the small of the back of tho victim. At 0 o'clock the picks of the workmen struck on another body. It was found just un der the edge of the network of pipes, and was extricated wltn cuuicuity. The car cass was broiled all to pieces, and as Identification was out of the question, it was taken to the morgue. This makes the total number of bodies recovered twelve. There are reports yet to ba heard to the elrect that Henry ueduldig, foreman of the painters In the Cold Store age building is missing, together with a cirpenter, John Campbell, but as many others who were thought to have been lost have turned up it Is presumed that these men have escaped. Marshall Murphy is convinced that there are more bodies In the ruins. He said "We have accounted for the firemen and a lineman, but what of those carpenters and painters? Tlio joint was full of men when I went up there, and I noticed par ticularly two men carrying little blast stoves used in soldering. Thoy, as was the case with the carpenters, did not realize the extent of the danger, and were stand ing around." In regard to the reports he had made on the unsafe condition of the building, the chief said guardedly: "I corresponded In my ofllcial capacity with Mr. Burnham, director of the works. I have sent him three loiters in regard to the condition of the building and have reported to him after each one of the four tires, and recom mended that something bo done at once to prevent a recurrence of the affair." After the fire horror came tho display of practical human sympathy for the widows and children of the brave men who died at the post of duty. Subscriptions and offers of substantial help came in all day to President Hlglubotham, who sat at his desk in his shirt sleeves saying little about the calamity, but working bard. lie acted aa trustee of the relief fund and reported that the total amount of the subscription fund amounts to 14,810, but it will not stop there by any means. The spirit of aid for Refrisr I have a number of Re the suffering families Is abroad and every body Is unxlouH to contribute his or her money. The banner proposition came by tetter to President Illglnliotham from Charles T. Yerkes, the street railioud president and a director of tho fair. He suggested that the directors should designate one day on which all tlio receipts at the gates should be contributed to tho relief fund. Ills idea Is also that persons of means who can come to tho fair that day should pay as much over llfty cents n3 they felt Inclined for a ticket ot admission. President Yerkes said ho would pny ?2,IJX) for his ticket. Tho first act of theScouncIl of adminis tration at Its meeting yesterday was to pass a series of resoliitlons extending its sympathy and condolence to the bereaved, attesting Its high appreciation of tho hero ism of tho dead and surviving, and com; mending to tho executive committee of the Arnnsitlnn :ho nronrietv of making such approprlattS'i to tho fund for tho suf ferers as it snouiu acorn adequate, aixo authorizing President Hlglubotham to present a medal to each of the survivors whose conduct was marked by personal bravery. Tho paid admissions at tho fair yester day were 101.224. v USE DANA'S BARSAPARILLA, iib " THE KIND THAT CUBES". POTTSVILLB SHOPS. Connlde able Un iihiiichh Kelt by Their l'Bitml OlDilng. Tho statement is mado that tho Philadel phia and II -adlng inacliliio shops, locited at roltsvlllo, nave been partially closed, wltn a likelihood of further suspension for an lu deflnlto period. This will certainly create a feeling of distrust iu business cl roles not only within tho limits of that town, but thijugL- out tho state. It is a well-known fact that tlicso shops are tho principal support of that town, and when their doors aro closed busi ncsi is at a standstill. It is hoped tho suspension is only for a limited period, and that tho business depend ent upon tho running of tho shops will not bo materially affected. Tho location of tho shops at Pottsvillo, was for tho purposo of centralizing tho repair work necessary at tho collieries controlled by tho Coal aud Iron Company. Provlous to th.it timo most of this class of work was douo at tho collieries aud at tho different private shopi located throughout tho region. A prominent mining olllclal Informed r representative of tho Hkbald to-day that tho Pottsvillo shops wero never self-sustaining, and that tho wisdom of their location has always been questionable. What Potts villo gained by tho Heading officials' favorit ism, tho rest of tho county sudoral proportionately. Tho closing of tho shops' for the purposo of abandoning them entirely, it is believed, would bu a good business stroke on tho part of the Heading management. In the first place, tho shops are run at a loss, as the officials of that company are well aware. Then, again, tho collieries throughout tho county suffer' a great incouvenlenco by being compelled, on different occasions, to shut down for the want of broken portions of machinery. If tho work was not ceutralized and each colliery hid its own repair shop, the damage could be r. modicd in a fow hours and tho company not put to the groat expense of closing its works because tho Pottsvillo shops happen to be overrun with work. It is acknowledged by all who are at all versed in such matters, that wotk can bo dono much cheaper under the ouly plan than Is now turned out by tho Pottsvillo works. It would also revive trade considerably to have tho repair work dono at tho different collieries and ma hino shops throughout the county. Every portion of tho county would share equally, and do away with centrallza tion aud favoritism. The business interests of Pottsvillo would undoubtedly suffer from such an arrange ment, but that town has advance I at tho oxpenso of other portlous of tho county for so long, that thoy could hardly kick at the change. It is reported, and from jrctty good source, that tho Heading officials seriously contemplate such a plan, and tho abandon ment of the Pottsvillo shops.

In conversation with a Catawlssa farmer the .other day, ho oxplalned to me a new schemo that is being used to swindle tho farmers. A few days ago ho received a cir cular containing a description of a manufac tured product which is called "gilt-edge but ter compound." It is alloged by this sub stance tho farmer can double the quantity of butter obtained from a single cow or from any number of animals. Tho process is a very simple ono. You take a pint of fresh milk and as much of the "compouud"as you can heap on a sliver dime. Tlies-j you put Into a chum together with ono pound of soft butter and you agita'e the mix turo fur a short time, at the end of which it is found to bo transform1 d into two pounds of goo i butter. How could any farmer re sist the temptation .to double his output of butter by such an easy means? The compound is said to bo poisonous, and the only dlHerence between it ami tho genu ine butter is that the manufactured a' tide is little softer.

Will tho Republican name a single Republican who Is dissatisfied?

When I ssy thero is no dissatisfaction over tho work of tho committee, I know whereof I speak.

Tho Columbia Hose aud Steam Fire Engine Company, No. 1, of town, yesterday celebrated tho twenty-third aunlvorsary of its organiza tion at Lakeside in royal stylo. 16 was a sort of family reunion and ovorybody was welcomed with that good old faohioned in junction to "mako yoursolf tor hum," and everybody did so. Tho day was spent in rambling through the dollghful groves in tho park, rowing on the lakes, dancing in tho pavilion, listening to selections by the famous Grant Band, and other innocent pastimes. -Thero was also a sporting program for tho entertainment of the mon aud thoy enjoyed it Immensely. Tho sports consisted of shooting matches and base ball. Thore were two of tho former. Tho first was a match with live birds and resulted as follows: Joe Wyatt 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0- 13.

The base ball game was tho feature of tlio afternoon and was witnessed by nearly all the visitors -to tho park. Many brilliant (mlsjplays wero made and the spectators went wild with delight. The opposing nines were made up of members of I he hose com pany and tho Grant baud. Tho result showed that the band members are not as deep "in U" with baso ball as they aro with music, for the firemen defeated them by a score of 8 to 7. George J. Wadlingor, Esq., of PottsviUe, who hid boen enchanted by the baud's selection , "rooted" for it during tho game with all 1 is might, while B. R.

As tho musician's head come iu contact with the bag he flopped over and shouted with all tho desperation of a professional on a clo.e play, "You never touched mo I Uouest and true, you never touched me I" As a roar of laughter arose from tho throats of tho spec tators, the player who guarded the bag re plied to tho slider, "I know I didn't; tie pitcher has the ball."

GOMES AND GOES QUIETLY Ills Visit AVIH Very Likely Caus'o a Falling Oil In tlio Number of l'eiislouerfl In Thin Vicinity When tlio Next Pay-day Comes Around. T has just leaked out that a secret pension inspoctor has been at work in this town and that many less checks will bo received hero from tho pension de partment during the next quarter than were secured last. And it would not be surprising if this reduction should bo followed by some Bcnsational dis closures. There is no doubt that tho talk which has boon going on In town for some timo past regarding the amounts certain people have been receiving from tho government In tho form of pensions for apparently no reason has at last reached tho oars of tho government and If tho inspector who has been hero heard aud substant'atcd one-half of tho reports there will bo somo queer houio and record cleaning. Tho gentleman who gives the in formation of tho inspector's visit hero says there will bo. If our informant is correct tho inspector has learned that several pcoplo aro receiving pensions of from $0 to $112 per mouth for in juries or Infirmities contracted long after the war ceased; aud that halo and hearty mon who mako good wages and scarcely complain of sickness aro getting tho cream under the new law, whllo tho most deserving, from a pecuniary standpoint as well as on account of njuries sustained in tho war, get only from $2 to $1 under tho old law. There is one case, it is said, in town whore a soldier who served in tbreo different rcfj mcuisuuring tno war, who suffered from typhoid fover iu his first torm and returned home broken in health; was woundod at An tietam during his second enlistment; was taken prisoner; served nine months in that Southern holl-holo Andorsonville; became a more skeleton and completely broken down in health and is now getting only $2 per month, while a big, hearty man with no other ailment than slight deafness, is drawing the monthly competence of $12. It is said that tho first notification tho un worthy parties will receive will bo tho return of their vouchers unpaid. It is hoped tho inspoctor has dono his work well and that if any discrimination is made it will be in favor of thoso who served and suUered. The Pension Bureau has notified a groat many pensioners throughout the entire coun try, who are drawing pensions under the De peadent Pension act, that payment of their pensions will bo suspended for sixty days, during which time they are required to show causo why thoy should continue to draw pen sions. Tho testimony necessary to urevent their being dropped from the rolls is tho cor- tlficato of a reputable physician, attested by two witnesses to the effect that the pensioner is totally precluded from active labor owing to injur! os or disability not tho result of his own vicious habits. In caso no attention is paid to tho depart ment notification within sixty days, the pensioner will bo dropped from the rolls. On the other band, should tho necessary certifi cate, properly drawn up and signed, bo forwarded to tho bureau, the pensioner will be requested to appear before the local board of medical examiners for examination as to his condition. It is estimated at tho pension office. although tho work has but recently been begun, that something over 1000 suspensions havo already been made.
