NO. 5722. THE CATASTROPHE. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE AWFUL EXPLOSION, ‘The Death of the Brave Boy Tindale. WTHIRTY-THREE DEAD BODIES TAKEN FROM THE RUINS, INOoIDENTS, Bec., dic, Ke Aton early hour yesterdey morning, our reporter pro oeded to the scene of the recent melancholy disaster, -@nd found that from the time he had been there last, ‘vin: four o’elock, a great portion of the ruins had been xemoved. Mayor Woodbull as on the spot, inciting work as vigorously as possible. In- moment of the catastrophe to the morning, snd were, as on Monday, doing all they could ‘te expedite the work of recovering the bodies of the buried. The Captain of the Fourth Ward Police was aleo very efficient—in fact, all in authority seemed to vie with each other in discharging their various duties On this melancholy cecasion. Sheriff Carnley, Alder- men Oakley, Grifin, and Assistant Alderman Mo- “Carthy, with many other city officials, were in atten- dance at the scene, and rendered efficient service. Up to9 o'clock yesterday moruing, four additional bo- Giles had beem dug out, and were deposited in a building attached to the Fcurth Ward Station House, Of these, only one was recognized. His name is John Dougherty, @ batter by trade. The spectacle which those bodies presented was heart sickening. They were so much ‘Durned, bruised and mangled, that it seemed doubtful ‘Ifthe other three would ever be recognised. From the positions of the arms, legs, &>., it was apparent that They must have ruffered inteuse agony before death ame to their relief. The boy Samuel Tindale, who for so long a time con- “versed with the persons who were endeavoring to res- cue bim, was released at a quarter-past 4 o’clook yester- ay morning. This iv the little fellow who, it will be recollected, behaved so bravely throughout the whole ‘ordeal, and who sent mesrages from time to time to his smother, telling ber to keep up lier «pirite — that he would spe soon relieved. Among the most perseveriog and successful in set- ‘ting the young sufferer free, was Samuel A. Gaskell; in fact, it was he who got him out. To encoarage the ‘poor fellow, he told him he was Sam, too, a namesake of bis, and Tindale called him by that nams He often said, twptoringly, “Do gst me out, Sam.’ Gaskell got @ rope around the fron works, which were over the beam that was confinfog the prisoner, and dragging this weight away, with the assistance of the firem: a hook was put under the beau and held up, while he stooped down, telling Tindale to pu’ hisarmsaround his meck, which he did, Thus he was delivered in triumph at last, after being upwards of twenty hours in that horrible situation, with a dead body lying on hima part of the time, which he called out tothe dremen to take away. Among those who assisted in the resous, ‘were Jobn D. Barker, formerly of Engine No, 2; Wa. “Charlock and Menry Sherwood. ‘The intelligence of his deliverance was the sigual for @ beart stirring cheer, which rose from the vast multi- ‘tude, and told @ll around of the victory that had boon ‘gobleved, He seid, when in the street, “Well, boys, | you did get me out, after all.
