The state Quarantine Board met yesterday at OH Sunsuni street, and Quarantine Physician Boennlng read his report, in which he stated that during the month of October 124 vessels passed up the river from the State quarantine station at the Lazaretto.

Of these 72 were single cargo, 18 general cargo, 84 carrying ballaht and 9 passenger vessels. The mails for this city on board the Infected ships were tborouyhly disinfected and transmitted to the Post Office by railroad from tosineion station. The delay in delivering the minis has been very slight, If any at all, as the time required for disiuftctlug a bag la about one hour. Attention of the board wns called to the great Importance of considering plans for the new Quurantliie Station. Ituring ihe recent storms considerable dam-ape was lne to the tuation, making it necessary to make quite extensive repairs ol the fence, which was blown down, and to the sea wall, which was badly washed.

Dr. Boenning moved that Inasmuch as the city was tne landlord and the board the tenant that the former should make the repairs.

The latest detail of the terrible disaster at Bantander on Friday last show that the number of dead, missing and woundod In fully 5,000. The people have nut yet recovered from the effects of the catastrophe and are entirely apathetic, paying no attention to business, bat standing about the streets die. cussing fn low tones the awful calamity that baa befallen the city.

The ere lies everywhere in the vicinity of where the destruction waa wrought hy the exploding dynamite are sad In the txtnme, and whenever a tody, crushed and mangled beyond recognition. Is rvmoved Irum the ruins, a heartrending wail goes up from the women, who fear that the shapeless mass of flesh may be all that remains of one of their loved one. There Is no doubt that many of the dead will never be rerocniwd. SENOK OAHAZU'S Senor Oamuzo, Minister of Finance, who at once proceeded from Madrid to Santander when the extent of the calamity hetame known, Is doing everything In his power to awaken the authorities to the fact that they must arouse tln-mselvts and net atout repairing the damage the city has sustained. When Senor Gnmazo saw how lulpltsi the authorities were in the crisis con Iron ting them, he in a great men sure took the administration of affairs Into hit own hands.

Ho telegraphed to Valladolid ordering that medical stores, nurses and other helpers ho nt once sent to Bantander. A subscription for the relief of the suflvrers was staitd, Senor Gumnzo head ing it with a gilt of be hall ol the government. Many of the dead were hurled yesterday. Among tho bodies interred was thu headless and mutilated remains of the Marquis do I'omlw. The services were attended hy large crowds of people, many distressing scenes being witmsKed.

Many of the fragments of bodies found in the vicinity of tho quay Wure buried in a common grave. DrVKKS APPALLED BY THE DEAD. The divers who were employed to recover tho bodies in the bay have been so appalled at the number of the dead and gmesomo appearance of the corpses that they have refused to continue their work and have prayed the officials not to insist upon their carrying out their engagements. They also reported that thero are still two hundred cases ol dynamite in the hold of the Machicaco. The authorities granted their petition and new men in I -oats, with grappling irons, are employed in searching for the dead who were blown into the bay.

Some of the bodies upon a cursory examination show that death was caused by drowning and not by the shock of the explosion. It is surmised that a number of persons were rendered partially unconscious hy the explosion and their odies thrown far out into the hnrlior. Thvy, of course, were drowned, for, in the tcrriMo ccnl'usion. no one thought of attempting to save tho lives of those thrown into the water. In fact, those near the scene were thrown into a wild Same aud hud no thought of saving any one ut themselves.

6TOKY OP AN EYE WITNESS. Lot origa. a naval officer, who was an eye witness the explosion, asserts that the steamer bad at least 1,000 cases of dynamite of 35 kilos each on hoard. Afterthc fire had started he went alongside the vessel in company with the naval authorities to assist in extinguishing the flames. Finding this impossible, the naval commandaut ordered a tug to tow her out into the stream but the fire gained so rapidly that the commandant ordered that the ship be sunk where she was.

The tanks wero thereupon opened to admit the sea. The vessel began to sink hy the head, but In the meantime the fire began to spread aft, burning fiercely. The captain the steamer AKonso seeing that it would tiiku considerable time lor the vessel to sink, enteTed a launch with a number ol his men, carrying tools to cut through the plates of the Caho Machicaco, for the purpose of giving freer aecess to the water. At this time Seuor Doriga elbowed throusrb the crowd of people on the quay. He was behind a cart filty yards distant when he was half stunned by tho explosion.

He fell beneath the cart while au immenso shower of wreckage, consisting of iron bars, rail and joists passed over his head. The steamer was lifted clean out tho water. A portion of the hull was warped and curved toward the stem and then felt again into the sea, sinking, together with tug boats, tho transatlantic liner Alfonso XII. and othar craft near by. BODIES KTBEWN EVERYWHERE.

On recovering his senses, Seuor Doriga saw around him a horrible multitude of dead bodies and figures writhing in agonies of death. Fragments of human bodies were strewn everywhere. The next thing that his eyes detected was the city in flames. Numerous wrecks of bouses could be seen in all directions. The discharge of projectiles from the steamer raised great clouds of dust.

Tho streets were filled with splintered doors, fallen tiles, ropoand debris of every kind. The houses that were left standing bad very window smashed. Roofs, mnny of them of tiles, had disappeared and little but wans ot tne nouses were leit standing. Men, i women and children, frantic with lear. ran I aimlessly to and fro crying, screaming and wringing tbeir bands helpk-BSly.

Ihe panic, terrible in its intensity, lasted for hours, and when tbe people realized the full extent of the disaster that bad befallen them they were paralyzed. During the night the ghouls that infest every city sneaked about the fuins, stripping the dead and wounded of their clothing and valuables. The thieves entered the dismantled houses and seised nnd carried off furniture and everything else that thi-y could realize money upon. There are few families in the city that escaped without furnishing one victim. COUSINS MIXED UP JT.

After fUteen years of work among the deaf in this and other States, Miss Kmma Garrett succeeded hi so curinc co-opcratiou in ber plan to Inund a teaching home for deaf children still too young to he sent to nny of the already existing ttc-hool for thu deaf.

THE NET HOME. In the meantime the work of planning and erecting the new building provided for by the fcUite appropriation was carried on, and early in thu summer tho pleasant quarters thus secured were ready for tbo roception of the little ones and their teachers. Occupa tion of the new building was dclnyed, as the school visited the World's Fair to give visiting educators tbe opportunity to stC'iy its aims and methods. The sad death ot Miss Kmma Garrett while in Chicago deprived tbe school of its tmrgctic louuiier, but the broken threads were at once gathered up hy Miss Mary 8.

Garrett, who looked upon the work as a sacred trust bequeathed hy her sister, aud whose previous close connection with it fitted her to carry out the plans lormuluted by Miss Emma Garrett The school returned to Philadelphia in September, and at once took possession of its new home. Owing to the recent denth of Miss Garrett the formal opening ol the building was delayed for time, and will take place this a ternoon.

The now building thus tormally brought be lore the public ior the first time presents nothing of the appearance of an institution" ol any kind. It is a plain and substantial country residence, attractive and cheer i ul, and lurtu natcly situated whv re surrounding green fit leu and wooded bills do not mean a total isolation irom the conveniences of the city.

HOMELIKE 6URROUNDINOS. The building stands in tbo midst of a broad lawn, which slopes down to Belmont avenuo in tho front, and to Monument avuuue at the side. Beautilul old trees, left untouched dur ing building operations, atiord all the shade that is desirable, and a deep porch across the Irout of the bouso adds to its air of homelike comfort. The rod brick used in the construction is relieved by trimmings of buff, the tone carried through all the woodwork. Tho square ball and open staircase which first meet the Visitor's guzu are an earnest of pleasant things to come, and the neat reception room to the right, and the cozy office ol the principal to the let of the ball bear nut the first lavorable impression.

The dining room and the nurseries for the smaller chihiren occupy the remainder of the first floor, Iu thodimne room, perhaps more than auy where else in the house, the pathetic side of the work of the sihool comes into view. The rows of high chairs" and the chairs of graded height lor little ones who have just passed out of babyhood, though as mute as the children newly arrived iu the home, spenk loudly of the sorrow of tbe affliction wbich is the necessity for such a collection ol little ones. Much ot the training in the borne Is done in the dining room. Teachers ait at table with the children, and in tho course of each meal endeavor to teai-b them, not only ro-bued usages, but the names ot articles ol iood anu table service, and lommon formulas of speech concerning tbem. Tho children who have been in the home since its opening are quite capable of taking care of themselves at tuole, aud are careiul to otlend iu ho way against the laws good breeding.

TRAINING NURSERIES. On the second Door of the new building are nurseries for the older children, rooms for tbo teachers, and what aro known as tha "training nurseries" ol the school. Routine lessons lor such little tots are not thought of. All instruction in given from objects; and pretty pictures, bright balls, figures of animals, dolls aud other toys are made the foundations for leasons in speech. A series of photographs on the wall of each training nurSv-ry inrnishes the means of keeping up home onnec tions lor each child so fortunate as to have any.

Children residing ia the State are not allowed to visit tbeir homes, as absence from tbe school seriously interrupts tbe instruction. Parents and iriends are allowed to visit the children, and such visits are made gala times the little pupils receiving them. Photographs of borne lrienda are shown frequently to tbe children, wbo soon learn to recognize "Laura's papa." Ivan's friend," or "Miss Garrett's riend," and to understand that the originals are to be treated with great consideration when they appear in person. Bright, sonny playrooms a on the third floor, and at one side, where it can he completely isolated 'Tom the rest of the house, is tbe infirmary.

Miss (i rant's flm notable affair of the heart wns not particularly happy, inasmuch as the then Viscount's habits gave her much unhap-plness. The final blow came when a prominent London Jeweler presented a bill to MIns Grant for the magnificent Jewels the Viscount hnd presented her with during the period of their engagement.

Then the unpleasant notoriety brought about by the lord's en tan clement with Miss Fortenque, a pretty sctress, and quite his equal mentally, though phe copy letters from a patent letter-writer, did not add to Mlvs Grunt's happiness.
