f i a PELE ae my Sy ty THE WORLD: WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 15. 1902. / & Hundreds of People Waited to Identify _, Bodies of Their Relatives Mengnus Hartung Lost His Wife, Five Daugh- ters and One Son. 'The scenes on the Department of Correction’s pler at the foot of East, Twenty-sixth street, before the tugs came down the river bearing bodles of) the dead, were pitiful beyond description. The news that the hodies were tm be taken to the pler attracted a great crowd of bereaved ones, whose wails and cries could be heard as far away as Second avenue. “of the numbers of pathetic figures none was more expressive of extreme ‘Brief than that of Mangnus Hartung, a tailor, No. 13 West Twenty-ninth ftreet, who lost his wife and six children in the disaster. The family whose lives were snuffed out by the fire or by drowning consister of Mrs. Mary Hartung, Miss Frances Hartung, twenty years old, a Sunday-school teacher of St. Mark’s Church Louise Hartung, twenty-four years, who sang in the thoir of the church; Harry, fifteen Milly, thirteen; Clara, eleven; Elsie, five. Two hours before the tugs bearing the bodies arrived at the pler the po- lice were compelled to rope off the dock and keep back the pressing throng of stricken mothers, sisters, fathers and children. The reserves from the East Twenty-second street, East Thirly-fifth street and Hast Fifty-first street ttation had to be called ou o handle the throng, The Charities Department steamboat Fidelity arrived at the East Twen- ty-sixth street pler at 3.50 o'clock, carrying the bodies of thirty-two women and eighteen childreu, the majority burned beyond recoguition. When the boat arrived the pler and street all the way from First ay. nue was thronged with people. The crowd pressed forward in a great rush, Sweeping back Capt. Shire, of the Hast Thirty-fifth street station and the cordon of twenty-five policemen who guarded the dock, * The police were compelled to use thelr clubs to push back the strug- giing people and make a lane through which the bodies could be carried to the Morgue. Commissioner of Charities Tully had provided pine boxes for the - bodies, in which they were placed as fast as they were brought In. Firat the bodies were numbered, and whatever belongings were found in the clothing were tagged with the same numbers. ‘As the crowd grew to great proportions It was decided not to allow any one in the Morgue until all the bodies had been transferred there from both the Fidelity and the Massassoit. ~ The bodies were al! laid out In the niain lobby of the morgue in such a ‘way that aicles extended between them, so that when the doors are thrown Bpen'the relatives may be let in In single filo to Identify them, though the greater number are 60 injured that recognition will be !mposstble. « ~ The bodies of twenty-seven women and seven children were lying side by side in the session-room of the Alexander avenue police station early this Afternoon. Bodies were being taken in every few minutes in grocery wagons, Jearts and all sorts of vehicles. Over 3,000 persons filled the sidewalks and streets around the station- use. It was a quiet, anguleh-stricken crowd, waiting tremblingly for an @pportunity to look at the bodies and see {f anydear friend or relative was jlying dead there, Ail were allowed to pass through the session-room and {n- impect, the bodies. » The body of Mrs. Mary Zollmer, of No. 123 First avenue, was Identified by her husband, Jasper Zollmer, who sald his wife had started out early in the morning with théir children to go on the excursion. The eldest of these children was a boy, Joseph, seventeen years old, who on last Saturday was the hero of a fire at Broome and Mercer streets. When the building was discovered to be in flemes the other elevator boy ran away, but Joseph stuck to his post. He ran the elevator up to the top floor ten times through fire and smoke, and carried down thirty-five persons who but for his brave’ act might have perished. It is supposed this little hero is now among the * Blocum’s long list of dead.

Fully 100 men who were at work on Riker's Island formed a part of the Yarge rescuing force which went to the heroic work of saving the imperilled excursionists and reclaiming ‘the floating bodies, Men in the employ of the Street-Cleaning Department engaged in the long-protracted work of filling 4m the island and prisoners from Blackwell's Island, who had been presseil f4mto the service of the city in the work of enlarging Riker's Island, were among the rescuers ‘roin that peint.

Doorly Tells Graphic Story of How Burning Vessel Was Beached, and the Terrible Scenes Which Fol- lowed Ashore. George Doorly, outdoor Superintendent of North Brother Island, tells the story of how the Gen. Slocum went ashore. The pretty islund with {ts stretches of green lawn was transformed in a few minutes from a quiet, peaceful resort for the sick into an outdoor morgue, with dead and dying on every hand. There have been already 103 bodies transferred from North Brother Island to the foot of One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street. These bodies are those of persons who died on the island or were washed ashore. While Father Donlan, of St. Jerome's Church, was saying the prayers for the dying, over forty-five injured excursionists, forty-three of them died. “IT heard the Slocum's alarm whistles,” says Mr. Doorly, “and saw her on fire between North Brothor Island and the Bronx shore. was in his pilot-house and he was heading his boat this way.
