tabula to-day has been the collection anu COM
pnrson Of testimony rs to tho number OF per"
sons on the wrecked train at tic time Of the
disaster. There has, pcrhaps been wider dtf-
ference Of opinion In rcgard 10 the
pumbcr OF passengers on boarl tlan up-
on any other particular connected with .nc
calamity. A curious. though not unaccount-
able, faet Is that the difference Of opInfon exists
almost entirely between the passengers and the
railroad oflira1s, the former placlng the NUM-
ter much higher tllau the latter.

ing the conductor rr1y there was no smoking
car fu the train, totl that It was not dcsifa-
