J.--Death in a ghastly form came 'suddenly to at least 60 Sunday excursionists Sunday afternoon when a train on the West Jersey & Seashore electric road, a new line of the Pennsylvania rail­ road, plunged from the high trestle spanning an arm of the sea between Atlantic City and the mainland and Was submerged in 30 feet of water. There were not less than 88 passen­ gers on the trainl, This the tickets collected show. The total number may have beeti more; one estimate places it at 110. •• Of all on the train not more than 25 escaped. Of these a dogen are so seriously injured that they cannot re­ cover. Forty-four Bodies Recovered. Forty-four bodies had been recov­ ered. Divers report there seem to be nearly as many more in the cars, which lies half buried in the mud at the bottom of the Thoroughfare, the mile wide stretch of water spanned by the trestle. *• No more ghastly wreck than this can be imagined. The train was a new one, consisting of three huge vestibule cars, carrying a crowd of Sunday holiday makers. It passed the drawbridge midway across the tres­ tle. Then it plunged suddenly Into the water. All in Two Cars Perish. . The cause is still unexplained. The facts point to negligence in closing the drawbridge. Officials of the road blame the bridgetender. All who were in the first two cars and they g were crowded, perished. There Were men, women and children in the jumble of corpses in these cars. They never had a chance to es­ cape. Divers who have gone down and peered through the windows of these cars. They never had a chance to efe- sight. Jumble of Corpses In the Cart. This downward plunge of 45 feet from the trestle hurled the passen­ gers to one end of each car. To many death must have come after agonizing Buffering. The electric trains are not only vestibuled but sealed by doors at each end. The windows are thick, immov­ able glass. The cars were simply so many traps, from which there was no hope of escape. Those who were con­ scious after the first shock must have remained alive while the water crept slowly in and blotted out their hope. An hour after the wreck the story of the picture of what was beneath the water was brought up by John W. Cooney, an Atlantic contractor. Cooney iB an old diver and volun­ teered to go down and fasten a der­ rick chain under one of the cars. An old diving suit was secured from somewhere. There was no air pump, so an old - beer pump from a neighboring brewery was brought Into service. Horror a Diver 8aw. '-*1 could only stay under a few min­ utes," said Cooney. "It was too hor­ rible. The first two cars have been wrenched apart from each other and are sunk in the water and mud at an angle of about 45 degrees. The for­ ward ends had been driven fast in the mud, and the two cars are half turned on their sides and about seven feet apart. "I peered through a window of the forward car. The face of a dead child, perhaps four years old, was pressed against the window. It had a gash across its forehead. I saw the body of a man in some sort of uniform wedged up tightly In one of the pack­ age racks. Bodies were piled up in a great heap at the forward end of the car. At the top of the heap I saw the form of a woman. A pair of diamond earrings glistened in her ears. I never saw such a horrible spectacle in my life. "The car seemed pretty much in­ tact, and the people were all plunged In a heap at the forward end by the shore." Elements Make Tragedy Greater*-^, The few who escaped were passen­ gers On the third car. Most of those who escaped were members of the Royal Italian band, whieh was on its way to fill a Sunday night's engage­ ment in Young's Pier. Most of them were together in the rear car. Their escape was so narrow that most of them are unable to describe It. It seemed as if all the elements combined to make the tragedy great­ er. The tide began to come in right after the accident The higher the water reached, the more difficult It made work. Then darkness fell swift­ ly. Possibly 130 on the Train. The conductor does not appear to be certain as to the exact number. He had 88 tickets in his possession when he was brought to this city, but he thinks that several tickets were lost, and it is his opinion that there were from 110 to 130 passengers on the train. This, however, seems too hfgh an estimate. Mystery as to Cause;' Details as to just how the accident occurred are vague. A complete cir­ cumstantial story cannot be obtained from any one of the surviving passen­ gers. Several causes hare been as­ signed for the derailment of the train. One is that a rail "turned in" and the other that the rails were not proper­ ly locked when the drawbridge was closed after a pleasure yacht had passed through. There is also a possibility it was due to a defective rail or the breaking of some part of the superstructure of the first coach. All the stories as to the cause of the accident, however, are purely speculative. Sight Wrecks Brldgeman'e Mind. The man who may-^e able to tell what caused the accident is Daniel B. Stewart, the. bridgetender. Stewart, however, is in no condition to talk. The horror of the accident has tem­ porarily bereft him of his reason. He is 65 years old. He was the o^ly person who wit­ nessed the plunge of the train with its human caflrgo from a close point of vantage. The scenes which fol­ lowed caused him to lose his reason, and when he was found hours after­ wards he could not tell a rational story. Entire Train Plunges Into Water The leading car appears to have been the first to leave the rails. It swerved with such force that it pull­ ed the others off, but the train ran on about 100 yards along the trestle until the first and second cars plung­ ed into the water, dragging with them the third car. While the third car was descending the rear portion struck a piece of the abutment, hung for a short time and then slid into the water. But this brief stop saved several lives. The treBtle Is about fifteen feet above the water and the drop to the water required several seconds, giv­ ing time for the passengers, men, wo­ men, and children, to see and calcu­ late their fate. Motorman Scott stuck to his post and went down with his train. The third trainman, Brakeman Wood, proved himself a hero. Women and Children Crowd Cars. From the officials of the railroad company only a meager and discon­ nected story of the occurrence could be had. The train which is made up of three heavy vestibule coaches of the newest type, all electrically equipped, left Camden at one o'clock in the afternoon.' Walter Scott was the motorman on the forward car. John L. Curtis, of Camden, was the conductor in charge and Ralph R. Wood was the brake- man. When the train pulled out of Camden the coaches were comforta­ bly filled, women and chilth^n being in the majority. They occupied the two forward cars. One Man's Wit Saves Lives. When the train left the rails and was bumping over the ties, Wood ran to the rear door of the last car, threw it wide open, and held it for the pas­ sengers to escape. He held the door open until the car slid off the bridge and went into the water with it. He then swam to the shore. His action, in holding the door open saved many lives, as when the rear car of the train caught on the abutment of the bridge, where it hung poised for a minute, there was a frantic rush of the passengers for the rear door. Probably a score or moce got out and as the I car plunged over the edge others Reaped into the water. 8trong Swimmer Saves Several. As this car was slipping into the water Henry Roemer was in the act of climbing from a window. Freeing himself with an effort and being a strong swimmer, Roemer set about to help others. Swimming along the side of the fast sinking car he kick­ ed out the glass and thus gave sev­ eral passengers an opportunity to es­ cape. He saw one man caught In a window and drowned before he could extricate him. ILLINOIS HONORS ITS DEAD. iXPLOSION OF NATURAL OAS CAUSES DEATH OF TWO.

It is supposed that the gas escaped from a leaking main som^wljfere in the block, and that after a sufficient quan­ tity had accumulated It became ig­ nited, causing the explosion. The buildings were In a row on East Eighth street and were occupied by a real estate office, three stores and a restaurant. The second floors of all the buildings Were occupied by room­ ing houses. _ Neither Ross nor Mrs. McDanlel was killed outright by the explosion, but both were frightfully injured and died shortly afterwards at a hospital. Brick and glass struck the negro cabman, and Mrs. McDaniel was crushed by falling debris. The entire block of five buildings was leveled to the ground, and only broken bricks, scattered lumber and twisted iron remain. Th% buildings and stocks in them are a total loss, as none of them was insured against explosion. A fire broke out immediately after the explosion, but the flames were quickly extinguished and little dam­ age was done from that source. Several persons were buried In the debris, but Mrs. McDaniel was the only one fatally hurt. The others who were rescued were only slightly in­ jured. One little girl, a daughter of S. D. Frazier, of the Kansas Land company, was under the timber and brick for 20 minutes, but was taken out uninjured. WHOLE 8TATE HOLDS REVIVAL More Than 40 West Virginia Churches in Religious Campaign.
