To-tluy is. tlio thlrteoiith siuee the disaster in tho Couonmugh valley occurred, nnd tho extent of tho nihility can he np proxlnmted when It is known that hodles nro still being found wherever men are at work. To-day ono of the Morgue directors was met nnd asked the questien: "How many bodies wore recovered to-day?" "Oh, not very many," ho replied. There were llfty-elght all together." The loss of life has been bo great that llfty bodies found in one day, oven if tlmt wero the thirteenth, was considered a light showing. The remains that aro now being removed from the drift aro far ndvanced iu decomposi tion, and the physicians in charge aro advocating their cremation as fast as found, as it is almost Impossi ble to hold them safely. Tho work of clearing away tho debris is pro gressing very encouragingly. Tho men wero not required to proceed to duy, but nine-tenths of them volun teered to continue, and, ns a result, a largo Inroad was made in the drift in tho central portion of tho city. Main street, which was tho principal thoroughfare, and one vast biockado is now about oloared. Work on the wreckage above tlio stone bridge is going on rather slowlv. Tho force is smnll and tho difilettltlcs great. Albany Points.

Those who had their last year's wheat in Frank Collin's warehouse at Monmouth aro becoming thor oughly exercised over Its present whereabouts. Among them aro John and Jesse Stump, 2000 bushels; Ira Jiutlcr, 1000 bushels; S. S.AVhlt-. man, 1000 bushels; besides enough others to make 0000 bushels of wheat. These gentle, man hold receipts for (1000 bushels of this cereal stored there last fall. There is now no wheat hi tho warehouse, neither havo they been able to get a settlement out of the warehouse man. Ho Is said to evade them. He was to have mot them at Independence Tuesday, but tho wheat owners failed to Ilnd him. Thoy were to meet him tit Dallas yesterday, but ho was snld to havo gone to Portland. They are confident all will conic out right hut nro nt pres ent on tlio nnxious scat. Tho cause of tho uneasiness Is that tho ware house man had a great many bush els of wheat to spoil on his hands. Tills ho shipped, but It would not be received. Ii Is possible the 0000 bushels missing was among this. .I The .Hatlnen Kiitiirdny.
