The following are known to have been killed: Jeremiah Mahoney, Patrick Reardan, James Moran, Michael McDermott, John Freely, Marshland Whiteley, John Meehan and Peter McGariehey. Mahoney's body was recognized by an account book in a pocket of his pants. Martin Kyle was taken out horribly burned and mangled, and was at once removed to the hospital.

One of his feet is badly injured by a splinter. Hopes are entertained of his recovery. The deceased, as well as those injured, ha
