One hundred families and three hundred children are left destitute and with out means of support. As the bodies of the victims, which in many cases have been gathered to gether one piece at a timearebrought to the,surface, they are placed in rows on a rough, improvised plat form. Late this afternoon ambulances be gan the removal of the bodies to Bes semer. As the list of dead wvill probably Teach one hundred and sixty, the lo cal undertakers have wired to ad joining cities for coffins, as it was found there were not enough suita ile coffins in the district to bury the victims.
