WORKING IN THE f RED-HOT RUINS. Forty Bodies Supposed to be Lying in the Tarrant Building's Wreckage 100 SERIOUSLY INJURED But It is Expected That Alt Will Recover. Cause of the Ex plosion Remains a Mystery. By telegraph to The Times. NEW YORK, Oct, 30. A dozen streams of water played all night on the. ruins of the two blocks of build-- ings destroyed and wrecked by explo sions iii Tarrant's drug store here yes terday. : Three hundred, men toiled among- the wreckage, seeking to re store some order out of the chaos that .5 would ' bring ; to light the, bodies of forty or more persons supposed to perished in the disaster. The ruins were red hot and a pall of smoke hung over them. Effective work was im possible. NO BODIES RECOVERED. At. eight o'clock this morning not a single body had been recovered. The only reward of the night's toil was a coat, vest, and pair of trousers. These were found at various places in the fringe of wreckage, which work- men had pulled away. v - 1,000 MEN AT WORK. V Today over 1,000 men were put to work and in a day or two when the ruins have cooled It. is believed the ground will have been thoroughly gone over and whatever ghastly, secret they hold, revealed. According to the1 best estimate this mornhig the miss ing, which are probably the dead, will not exceed forty. .'-..'.- THE DEAD AND MISSING. V There were from sixty to eighty per hoiik in Tarrant's building at the. time the first explosion occurred.! At first it. woa thought , that only a few of these could have escape.!. Later, how ever, it wa discovered that tnanyof the girls employed had been able" to get to a rear fire escape, which led to jjnjjley and by this ramnK many.' of Them won safety. Ten of Tarrant and Commmy's employes are reported missing. The rest of the forty, are not. accounted for. . These were em ployed In neaf-by houses, which were wrecked, or were in the street, near Tnrrnnfs at the time of the explosion. THE 1N.1URKD.

"No deaths were reported during the night, nt, the hospital and it is re lieved that most cf the injured will recover. : . - ' WH VT WAS THE CAUSE. Tho real cause of the explosion is still n mystery and will probably never be Known. The fir is supposed tc have originated on the third floor, where many dangerous chemicals " were stored. The four floors above were ahio full of explosive. material. According to one, theorj', the fire was caused by a defective electric light wire and. another theory, is that it wiw caused by spontaneous combus tion. ' ' ' ',-.' ''.- '. ''; " v .

The train bearing the Democratic candidate and his party left Jersey City lent night at 12 minutes after-twelve. Bryan seemed glad to be gin: his present march to Lincoln, Neb., the last week of Mb busy campaign. The great number of meetings at which he officiated yesterday left htm somewhat the worse for wear. But with Mrs. Bry an on tbe car to care for her husband, no bad results-may be anticipated. She is especially devoted to him at this time. 14 SPEECHES- TODAY. Three rather lengthy speeches are on today's Bryan Itinerary, viz: Salamanca, 40 minutes, and Jamestown and Dunkirk, one hour each. Eleven shorter speeches are also scheduled. Bryan will be turned over to the State Democratic, committee Wednesday. The first stop In that State will be Toledo. He will speak at eight places and reach Cincinnati for his great demonstration there about 7:45 o'clock in the evening. DEFIANCE TO COWEN. . Bryan's tart telegram concerning Pres ident Cowen, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Is the sensation of the cam paign, being, perhaps, the bitterest ever glvenfwide publicity by a Presidential candidate during his canvass for office. The telegram follows: . "Marlboro Depot, N. -Y., October 29. Editors of the Sun, Baltimore, Md.: ,1 have read your telegram, quoting the threat in the call of the President of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to cancel his order for cars in case I am elected. "There is no reason to fear business failure in case of Democratic suc cess. I . Imagine Cowen 's - objec tion to my election is .not based so much on fear of business de pression as because of the fact that I am opposed to government by Injunction, thei blacklist and to the railway pooling bill which he went to Washington to lobby for., after be was elected w Co gress ana before he took' liis' seat. ' , "His threat is : a confession that .tho Republican party cannot win without in timidation, - "1 trust we mey some day have laws that will provide a penitentiary cell for the man who attempts to use his power as president of a corporation to disfran chise or coerce the laboring men who vt.rs for corporations. 'If an employer is entitled to the votes of all who are employed by him the laws should allow him to cast the vote of his employes. If not entitled to this right, the laws should restrain hira from using his posi tion to terrify those who work under him.';; . . .. . "If you will examine the Congresninnnl Record you will And that Champ Clark, of Missouri, made a speech when the pooling bill was before Congress and re ferred to the fact that Cowen was there lobbying for It.

On rich land in I'JIgeeombe county the top growth will make a substantial vieltl that will add materially to the farmers' profits. In some rare cases on Very rich land the second crop will amoifiit to half a bale an acre. Of course in cases where the cotton was planted on poor land it did net have sufficient stamina to raise a second crop. The increase in the aggregnte will not be very large. Hut to some fanners the second crop will be quite an addition. It has a good sprinkling of holla and every prospect of u good yield.

CHICAOO, Oct. 30. Senator Jones, chairman of tbe Democratic National Committee does not construe the letter of C rover Cleveland to Don Dickinson as a promise to support McKinley. He says: "It Is ont a declaration either way, and Do one can construe It as such. He said , early in the campaign that he would not make a declaration either way and he will make none." " . Referring to an Interview printed this morning in which Cleveland said he thought a Democratic landslide probable, Senator Jones said: "His interview means he expects Bryan to win, hut does not say that he will support him. Ml3 leUer to Dickinson says he has not changed his mind since 1897. but it does not say he will support McKinley. No one expects him to change front on this question. Did any one ever hear of Cleveland's changing his position? The most marvelous thing about it is that Dickinson should find it necessary to ask permission to quote Cleveland's utter ances of 18!i7. Those utterances are pub lic property and are at the disposition of anyone that desires to use them. Mr. Cleveland's letter means nothing." CLEVELAND ON BRYAN. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30. The Phila delphia Times (Democratic) this morning prints aspecial dispatch from its Prince top, N. J., correspondent, who asserts that in an interview yesterday er-Presi-dent Grover Cleveland predicted a land slide for Bryan. According to the .Times correspondent Cleveland said there are are elements all over the country - ot work which it would be impossible to draw into line for McKinley. Among these elements which favored Bryan the ex President instances the union labor, the 'ravelling men and the Hollanders in the Northwest, whose sympathy for the Boers will Induce them to support the Demo cratic nominee.
