A motion was made that after
forty-eight hours farther search,
the debris be consumed by fire,
engines to be on hand to play upon any
valuable building that despite previoos
precautions, might become ignited by a
general conflagration. Those whose
relitives or friends still rest beneath the
wreck, remonstrate strongly against any
such summary action. Puysioiacs warn
ihe committee that the further exposure
of putrid bodies could have but one re
sult—Typhus fever or some other equally
fatal to its victims. Although the
proposition to burn the wreck was de
feated, it was evident the movement was
gaining many adherents and the result
will doubtless be that in a few days the
torch will be applied.
