NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-—Two more victims of the Park place disaster unearthed! The horrible chapter in the story of the Park place disaster which dealt with the dig- ging out of charred and mutilated victims was closed on Friday, only to be reopened again. What was the awful experience that two—perhaps many more—victims of the great disaster must have experienced when it is learned that after the awful crash of a week ago there were at least two who tried to escape by the vaults in the side- Wle in front of Roscnfeld & Co.’s bronze shop in the basement, only to be drowned out like rats, and then to bloat and tester for a week from that awful day? This is the story told by the discovery of two bloated bodies in the sidewalk vault. The discovery that electrified the city was made by Frank Morton, who was working for the surviving brother of the firm of Rosenfeld & Co., recovering property from the wreck. It was when some of the debris in the basement was cleared away from the open- ing of thesidewalk vault. A horrible odor made the dirt begrimed laborer start back, and as he peered into the dark and loathe- some recesses of the vault in the gloom there could be seen what appeared to be a body. The Leg Was Sticking Up. With a cry of horror the laborer sprang back, only to be called again to look at the awful objects. There was a leg that stuck up out of the dirt pointing toward an- other body, which was visible from the girdle to the head. The body that could be seen most clearly was that of a boy. It was later learned that he was probably Abraham Diever— vitch, of 141 Delancey street, seventeen years old. The leg was supposed to mark the grave of Samuel Blitz. The police at once drew a cordon about the place, while the same morbid, crowd that at first flocked to the scene were again there, to he kept back while awaiting the arrival of the c'oroner and the fire depart- ment. The supposed identification of the two ‘ bodies is based upon the statement of Mr. Rosenfeld, of the firm of bronze manufac- turers, that these names-given above are probably correct, asthey are the only Ones Of his einployees who were at work at the time of the disaster who are still numbered amongthe missing. The boy Dievervitch was at one time identified :- partially in the named Adangahren.“" ~ " They We're” ‘Erob’abi'y Drowned. From the position of the bodies and their bloated condition, it is pretty certain that the two bodies told a. story of an at; tempted escape "by way ofgthe vaultand. - -- the coal chute; that thismethod of e‘gress' Was cut off by the great pile of debris on gaps more—were there drowned by the oods of water poured in by the city’s fire Mayor Grant happened down ‘_ at 'the Scene not more than tEnvmin utes after the discovery of the'bOdies by Frank Morton. , is indignation was great,_in view of the? act that for several days no one had been searching‘fOr bodies in the wrecked build- ng. Leo Rosenfeld, a member of the firm of Rosenfeld & 00., who conducted the paint And bronze business in the ill fated build- ing, was on the scene when the workmen Gleeovered the bodies. Mr. Roseufeld cored into the vault and at once conclud‘ E? that the bodies lying there were those uckaverich and Blitz. he former, he said, could be recognized. by his hair, which was cut la pompadour. The bodies were close together in the was thrown over them. Two Still Missing. ”All our employees,” said Mr. Rosen- feld. ‘are now accounted for except Blitz and Duckaveutch.” Inspector Williams arrived soon after the discovery and took charge of the (york. He said that he had given permis- sion to S. 'Fry, brother-in—law of Louis RO- Senfeld, to have his private men research the ruins. oroner Hanly stated that he approved of nspector Williams’ action in granting permission to Fry to continue the work of ching the ruins. . .here is a little uneasiness shown by the tenants directly across the street on account of the insecure appearance of that part of the building left standing extend- iii from 76 to the corner. he walls bulge outward dangerously, pd the floor beams, which were unques- ably too light for a building of such hays been partly burned through in eup'pfr stories, so that they are prac- cally heeless as supports to the standing is. w.Nl‘la'nks have been placed across the front ndows and heavy cables have been run “it“ tilli‘ase to the rear walls, thus partially 0111.8 ,‘ . ay Wl h the danger of the upper miles falling nto the street.

' -~ THE WEATHER FORECASTS. emu-antut ‘ A Novel System to Be 135685143th by Chief Harrington. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1;-—'1‘he weather bureau is endeavorin'g to establish a. novel system of weather forecasts. Already the principal railroads of the country have adopted the, Ian of disseminating weather predictions by displaying signal flags on trains, and the bureau hopes to extend this system by having locomotives give the signals by means of their whistles. Professor Harrington, the chief of the Weather bur-ecu, has arranged a system of whistle combinations by means of which persons living at a distance from the rail- roads can receive the forecasts. By re- peating each combination a few times with an interval of ten seconds between, possibilities of error in reading the fore- casts will be avoided, such as may arise from variable winds or failure to hear the warning signal. As the weather forecasts are telegraphed daily to a large number of stations of the weather bureau, to railroads. etc., in va- rious sections of the country, there are many Small towns which may obtain them by telephone, free of expense; they may also be obtained from the daily newspa- pers. Those desiring to display or sound the signals and who are not able to obtain the forecasts as above should communi- cate direct with the director of the state weather bureau, and if it is impracticable for the United States to bear the expense of transmission they will be furnished at the regular commercial” rate and sent “collected. ” NARROWLY ESCAPED LYNCHING. After an Hour’s Hard Work the Des- pcrado “'as Lodged in Jail. MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 1.—A lynch- ing similar to the one at Shelbyville a week ago was narrowly averted in [this city last night. Dillon Core, a young farmer, was drinking and quarrelsome during the afternoon. Policeman Cox was trying to arrest him, when Core plunged a knife into him, then cooly walked up a crowded street with the knife open in his hand. The policeman called out: “Catch him. ,He has stabbed me!” but the crowd kept out of Gore’s way. Two hours later he was arrested near the city limits and brought back. It was thought for a time that he would suffer death at the hands of the mob. Some one threw a piece of brick at him during the excitement, and it struck J. H. Hart, 3. business man who was attempt- ing to disperse the mob, in the forehead. Half an hour of the hardest work was necessary to lodge Core in jail, two squares away, and save him fromthe mob. He was disarmed of a. revelver. a pair of brass knuckles ands. knife. Cox was stabbed in the left dung. ~’ Mr. Cox is about sev- enty and his recovery is doubtful. An Atrocious Outrage in a Convent. BROOKLYN, Sept. 1.—The Dominican sisters of the convent situated at the cor- ner of Morgan. avenue and Harrison place, Williamsburg, were subjected to one of the most atrocious indignities on record. Six sisters, together with the mother su- perior, occupy the building. After mid- night one of the sisters was suddenly awakened. She felt herself in the grasp . of a pOWerful' man. She-shrieked for help and struggled with the brute, and finally escaped into the hall. By this time her associates had rushed-from their bedrooms into the hall. The fellow, who continued his pursuit of the first sister, suddenly turned his attention to the others. He grasped several, who managed to escape and rush down stairs, followed by the wretch. Assistance arrived‘at this, time, but the wretch took the alarm, in time-and [led through aback window, "making good his escape. . A ‘Girl Murdered and Robbed. = BUFFALO, Sept. 1.—-The bod ofayoung girl found in the woods near .ockport on Tuesday last with two bullet holes in it and the head crushed in has been identi- fied as Katherine Send, a native of Servia. She had a. sister, Mrs. John George, living in this city. The girl’s occupation was the peddling of fancy work and notions, and on last Monday, in company with her cousin, Habib Saad, she undertook one of her nomadic journeys. She carried in a bag about her neck about fifty dollars. This money was missing when the body was found. The police are searching for Habib Saad, who it is believed knows how the girl came to her death‘ A Newspaper Burned Out. TROY, N. Y., Sept. 1.--A fire occurred in the four story brick building 805 River street. The first floor is occupied by J. R. Prentice & 00., newspaper warehouse; second floor .by The Sunday Observer, of which Senator M. F. Collins is the pro- prietor;‘third floor by the Adams Confec- ' tionery company, and the fourth floor by the Pilsner Democratic club. The Observer is the heaviest loser, much of the type be- lng destroyed and the rest so badly dam- aged that it is feared that it will be a total loss. The editorial rooms were flooded, and many valuable papers and files were destroyed. Colonel Snowden’s Version of It. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-—Colonel A. Louden Snowden, minister to Greece, who recently visited Bar Harbor, says the re- port that he went to Mr. Blaine at the in- stance of President Harrison is untrue. The question of renomination or politics has not been discussed by the president and Colonel Snowden,..nor by Mr. Blaine and Colonel Snowden. The visit to Mr. Blaine was purely a social one. Mr. Blaine’s health had been impaired by over- - work, but he was now recovering. A great improvement could be noticed. Fell from the Balloon Trapeze. CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-—Professor Hart, a parachute jumper, _was fatally hurt at Spring Grove park, near this city, while attempting to make an ascension. The balloon had risen about thirty feet when the rope became entangled in the branches of a. tree. when the balloon began swaying lost his hold and fell to the ground. He received. Injuries which will cause his death. Organized Postofllce Thieves. SIOUX CITY, 1a., Sept. 1.—The postoflice at Leeds, a suburb of Sioux City, was en- tered, the safe blown open and $204 worth of stamps, besides a-smll sum of money, secured. This is the sixth postofiice robbed - during the past month in northwest Iowa. [t is supposed to be the work of an organ- ized band.

BOWS Dillllflll RUSSIA. Turkey Yields to the Czar and the Dardanellcs Are His. A SIGNIFICANT VICTORY. It Appears Certain Now That the Under- standing Between l'rance and Bus- Ila 15 Much More Far-reaching Than It Was Supposed to Be. LONDON, Sept. 1.-—The Constantinople correspondent of The Standard says: “The sultan has yielded to all Russia’s demands respecting the Dardanelles, which hence- forth will be opened to Russian vessels when closed to others. The sultan has abjectly apologized for the recent deten- tion of a Russian vessel, has dismissed the officials responsible therefor and has promised an indemnity forthwith.” This information creates a somewhat uneasy feeling in the city. While the dis- patch is rather vague, not specifyin to what classes of Russian vessels the are danelles is to be a free and unquestioned passageway, the consensus of intelligent opinion is that Turkish abnegation has not gone further the to withdraw its last objection to the free incoming and Outgo- ing of the vessels of the “volunteer trans- port fleet.” It is pointed out here that this fleet has been used by Russia merely as a “feeler,” and that it now only remains for it to act as a veil or cover behind or under which the actual warships of the czar can pass the minarets of Constantinople on their way into the open waters of the Mediter- ranean sea. ' The war indemnity due by the Ottoman government to Russia has once more proved an excellent investment for the creditors, and while conservative English- men ure satisfied to await developments the more impatient are beginning to spec- ulate whether or not the time is at hand when Russia will force Turkey to refrain from any attempt whatever to prevent a concentration of Russian and French war- ships in the Mediterranean. However this may be, it is certain that the mandatory, not to say insolent, de- mands of the Russian government upon the ports are such as to suggest the thought that the understanding between France and Russia is much more explicit iand farreaching than was twenty-four hours ago supposed to be the case. Terrific llIine Explosion. LONDON, Sept. 1.-—A terrific and fatal explosion occurred at the Malago colliery at Bedminster,-Somersetshire. Seven per- sons were killed outright, two. are miss- ing, and others were more or less seriously injured. So great Was the force of the concussion that many of the houses in the vicinity were shaken, while all their win- dows were shattered. The explosion took place at 3 o’clock in the morning, fortunately an hour when but fewmen of the “night shift” Were in the mine. Early, howover, as it was but pa few moments had elapsed after the ex- plosion when the women and Children of the miners employed in the Malago col- liery came hurrying to the scene of disas- ter. With them came the colliery officers. who at once organized a party of volun- teers and: commenced an investigatiou to ascertain what damage had been done by the explosion. _. 4 . .. _. . Shortly after the descent into the pit of the rescuing party a signal was sent to the anxious throng which crowded about the mouth of the mine that an explosion of firedamp had taken place and that a number of dead bodies had already liceu discovered. Then began the work of re- moval of the dead and v unded. Mean- time the mine oificers be. secured the at- tendance of the local police,who succeeded in forcing the Weeping women and chil- dren away from the ropes which had been strung around the entrance to the pit. The scenes in the stricken town are simply a sad repetition of those which too often occur in our mining districts. Two Hundred and Fifty Lives Lost. VANCOUVER, B. 0., Sept. 1.—The steam~ ship Empress of Japan, which beat the Pacific ocean record by eight hours, brought news of a. great typhoon in Japan that caused the loss of over 200 lives. This typhoon struck the steamshi on the evening of Aug. 16 and lasted till t e night of the following day. The German vessel Helene Rickmers was driven ashore from her anchorage an thrown upon the beach, where she now lies almost a complete wreck. Twenty or thirty of her crew are believed to have been drowned. While the typhoon was in progress the lighters which. were bring- ing her cargo and provisions were washed away, a number of men being drowned. Great damage to property and life result- ed along the shore. It is believed that the lives lost will number 250, mostly J ap- anese and Chinese sailors. The meteoro- logical report says that the typhoon was the most violent that has visited oriental seas for years. A Hotel in Flames at Night. NABRAGANSETT PIER, B. I., Sept. 1.— The night watchman in the Rockingham House discovered that the hotel was on fire. The 150 guests in the house were all got out safely. All of them will lose heavily, as their trunks, being thrown from the windows, were split on the walks and a hard rain which was falling wet the couo’ tents. The fire caught from an open furnace place and spread to the roof by the elevator well. The local fire company did .splendid work and saved the building, with a loss of $20,000 only, which was fully covered by insurance. The guests must havelost as much more. A light wind prevailed, and the escape of the Casino, the Gladstone and Clark’s hall from destruction Was miraculous. Was. He Murdered? PISCATAWAY, N. J., Sept. 1.—The peo- ple of Piscataway township believe that ‘ the unknown workingman Whose body was found in John I. Holly’s pond was murdered, but money and a. watch and chain were found in his clothing, and the motive could, at any rate, hardly have been robbery. Hilliard Fillmore’s Sister Dead.
