ATLANTA, GaV May Two solid business blocks of Atlanta are In ruin to-day a th result of a Are which threatened for a tlm to carry It destruction through tha business action of the city and perhaps wipe out tha entire down town district. Tha flra loaa may conservatively estimated at $1,600,000. The Terminal hotel one of the larg-st in the city, la a mass of bricks.

Near by wen several other small hotels, but In these there was no loss of' life, nor was there any In the Terminal hotel. -r In Bakery The Are started In the Schlessinger-Meyer Baking company, Madison and Nelson streets, at 8:30 this morning, and within a few minutes the building "was In flames. The wagons bad.

Just itarted away with their early morning load of bake stuff when the alarm was given and an attempt was made to start the electric elevator In the 8chlesslnger building to awaken the employes asjeulherf Sailed to respond to the starting and the fire authorities believe the Jlre may have been due to soma defect-in this electric elevator. When the first Are companiea ar rived the building was a mass of dames. Chief Cummlngs Immediately turned In a- general alarm. Flames were shooting from every window of tha big building that rah the entire block from Nelson to Mitchell street on Madison and were leaping high In 'the air from tha middle of tha building. Water Pressure la Poor.

Tha water pressure- waa poor and. try as they could, the 'firemen could not get a stream that would carry above the second floor. Half an hour after tha fire started threatening walla made it necessary to remove engines on the Mitchell street side of the Schlesstnger building and BO firemen streams of water, playing upon them dragged the machines to a place of safety. Meanwhile high power trolley and electric light wires were falling everywhere, parts of walls were dropping out and with the high wind prevailing the flames' were shot across the street to the Terminal hotel, which acted as a sort of flue for the fire. Floor after floor of tha Terminal ho- waa soon ablase.

Firemen Fight Hard. The firemen were fought back until they were In tha rear of the Terminal hotel, where lack of water again retarded any effort to check the flra. Within half an hour the walls and roof or the hotel had fallen in. Spreading from Madison atreet to Nelson street, the One ate la way Into the Liquid Carbonic romnaBY structure, a five story building, to the east, and wlthtn a short space of time there1 were two terrific" explosions hlch seemed to carry all retaining walls and the roof of this building to the basement. Next to the carbonic company's building was the Inman block, which faced on Forsyth street.

This building was a three story lutldlng extendlci from Kelson street on Forsyth north to and contained nine or 10 business concerns. A narrow alley sep-arted the Inman blocl: from the flra and it was soon a mass of flames.

May Thd 1.000 guinea stakes; at New Market to4day was won by Richard Crokera Rbodora- The Truce's Special aervlr LAPOrtTE. May Tha most atrocious murder mystery of tha century is growing and to-day's develop ments promise to make tha Qunneaa home the biggest enamel farm that tha world has known. Two more victims of this arch-fiend and murderess were added to the already long string to-day when the skeletons of a man and a woman were dug tip within a stone's throw of the house in which Mrs.

Ounness. with insidious art, wlli-ly lured them to their doom. The first body to be recovered to day was that of a man. There was nothing left of the remains except the skeleton and this as In all other Instances, showed that before burial it had been decapitated and dismem bered. An examination jof the skull indicated; that the person had been struck with a sharp hammer.

The hole is about one-half inch in diameter. This body was dug up about three feet below the surface of tha earth and was In an abandoned vault. Shortly after the recovery of the tenth body, the remains of another, the eleventh, was brought to the sur face It having been burled In the same hole with the first body. Although the remains have not been as care fully examined as they jwill be later, they are evidently those of a woman The Known Victims. If more bodies are found on the Gunnesg farm to-day fresh mysteries Will confront the authorities.

Thus far only three oi tne ooaiee from the ground have been Identified, Besides the three Gunnesg children the known victims arei JENNIE OLSON, the l-year-old fnatar daughter of Mrs. Gunness. ANDREW HELGELEIN. of Mans field. B.

Hwanhilda daughter of Mrs. Gunness' second husband, locat ed at Janesvllle. where she has hidden by relatives. Two female corpses sni those of six males yet remain unidentified. Despite the searching Investigations of the sheriff and the state's attrney there Is as almost no clew to th Identity of theae bodies.

Their task Is complicated by th- fact that the bodies have been In the ground for at least 18 months. The rain having ceased, the diggers were put to work at an esrly hour. A soft spot under a pile of refuse was selected as the most promising place to begin operations. The digger had not b-en long at his task when he turned up a spade full of bones, and before nine o'clock the body, that of a full grown male, had been entirely exposed. The skeleton, which wis badly dlsatlculated.

was scattered but the bonea were In a good state of preservation. It is believed that the body had been under ground about two years. The second skeleton wa found in the same place and directly underneath the nrt with an Intervening space of esrtli. The bones are much smaller and thought to be those of a woman. The skeleton also wag not In an articulated state, the tools of the diggers probably having to do with the bresklng and scattering of the smaller bones.

Thoussnd People on Grounds. The news that digging operations were to be resumed to-dsy brought a large crowd of the curious idle seers to the scene. As early as 7 o'clock this morning buggies, hacks, wagons and sorts of conveyances started for the farm and by 8 o'clock there were more than 1,000 people gathered on the place. people from adjacent and surrounding villages and visitors from far away cities made up the crowd that morbidly watched the diggers as they monotonously turned over the earth. When It was learned In thlj city that more bodies had ben found many more repaired to the c-r.

Search is Continued. When the rain ceased this morning the search for bodlfs was resumed. The sheriff to-day departed froro his usual custom of having several men at work with the spade and put only one man in that capacity. The predictions by the authorities that other bodies would be uncovered to-day drew large crowds to the Gunness farm. Wlh morbid curiosity they stood huddled in groups watching the digger.

A more active spirit is manifested along the line of Investigation to-day than has been the esse since the discovery of the frightful atrocities committed at the Gunness farm. The sheriff waa astir at an early hour and too busy to talk to newspaper men. Prosecuting Attorney Smith was also hard at work and refused to say anything, It 1b said that detectives- have already taken hold and are ptcklng apart whatever evidence they have gathered. Coroner Mack waa engaged unt depositions of tha Iludsberg bora. Mad and Oscar and Kdwin cnapin, in Iola hardware merchant, who ac companied them.

It is said that he will bo brought In to-day. Ills testimony ia said to be along the same lines aa that of other witnesses who hava been secured. The arch murderess frequently changed her some time Gunness and often writing it Guin ness.

1 Tha generally accepted spelH Ing in La port however. Is Gunness. Fearad an Investigation, Cross-examination of Mrs. Bella Gunnesg before Justice Robert Klncald. one week before the burn ing down of her home, came to light to-day as a most important fact in support of the theory that she fled from her home in fear an expose of her crimes or that aha committed suU cide fearing to face investigation.

Attorney H. W. Worden. who croea examined her. represented Ray Lam phere, the carpenter now In Jail, In tha hearing before Justice Klncald when Mrs.

Gunness had Lam ph ere arrested for trespass. In this cross-examination Attorney Worden asked the woman pointed, questions concerning tha deatha of her' two husbands. He wanted to know whether their lives were whether she had collected the Insur-' ance and whether she was suspected of blame for the deaths. I every auestlon there was an oh Jectlon'and tha woman did not answer It because of her lawyer's objections Mrs. Gunness Shewed Fright.

Justice Klncald in telling of tha cross-examination aald: "The woman, when the first que "on were asked her waa composed. Then she trembled and was agitated as the questions became more numef-' ous. i The questions were leading and not relevant and at that time seemed somewhat Insulting- to th woman by Intimating that she killed her two hus bands for the Insurance. i She protested aginst the rose -ex amlnstlon snd left the stand agitated, which might, of course, be true of any decent woman resenting insinuations." Attorney Worden, who Is now taking up Lampheres defense, declares that' the cross-examination was car rled on like any Investigation and that when his questions were not answered he made them bolder and more direct accusations, at which the woman waa Islbly affected. i It was a few days after this cross exmjnstlon that she made her will and during the week between that cross-examlntlon and the fire at tha homa she hunted for Lemphere and wanted to see him.

Kept Children Prom Cell sr. The thrashing of her children on tha day before the fire which waa explained In such a way ss having been caused because they wished to visit the; cellar Is now declared to be Important. Attorney Worden believes that the body of the women who was burned with the children was stored In the cellar In preparation for tha burning of the home. "The children were beaten evidently because there was something In that cellar which she did not want them to see," said Attorney Worden. "It wi a substitute corpse left behind as that of Mrs.

Gunness. Mrs. Gunness fled because she feared an expose." Lixxie 8mith 8upected. Mrs. Lizzie Smith, at whose homa Ray Lamplwre is alleged to have spent the night of the Gunness fire, was placed under police surveillance thla afternoon.

Mrs. Smith Is alleged to have hired a rig from a down town livery stable here about 1:20 o'clock on the night of the Gunm-ss fire and it is believed that she drove Ray Lamphere from her house to the Gun-nes farm assisted him In setting- fira to the house and then enabled him to prove an alibi by driving him back to the town. This has not been proved, however, but It was feared that she might lesve town and so she Is being held as a valuable witness for tha state. Mrs. Gunness on Her Knees.
