field, O., with his bride, and, as appears
from inquiry of friends. took the Inflated
train at Buffalo, and friends came to Ash
tabuls In search, but could find no traces
Of the missing.
Mrs. Mary. Frame, of Rochester, N. Y,
died at the American House, on the even
ing of the 1st.
The Company seem disposed to push the
researches for the remains of the lost, and
for any property they may have had about
them, with the utmost vigor. Probably all
the bodies have been taken out excepting
perhaps any that may have been caught
under the engine and tender. The whole
number thus far recovered is, near as we
can make it, 40.
Most Of the officers of the company have
been present to direct with their counsel
and advice, the work about the ruins. Mr..
Payne, Gen. Supt., Mr.. Couch, Division
Supt., Mr.. Henry Stager, Train Dispatcher
at Cleveland. and Mr.. Foster, Asst. Pay
master, were all busy. The searches a.
the wreck are conducted by Mr.. Stager.
The story that an order had come from
the Company forbidding the use of water
upon the burning wreck, and which has
caused some strong feeling among our cit
izens, is disclaimed by Mr.. Payne. He is,
as we learn, at lvss to know how such
report had got into circulation. Over this
matter there has been no little Wender-
ment, as besides the engines Of the corpor-
alton, that were present, the engineer at
the engine house on the fiat, personally in
formed us that he had the means Of sup
plying any amount of water for putting
ont the fire, which he saw from the begin
ming. The only means, however. CT reach
ing it was with the use of the hose. This
point will no doubt be made clear in the
course of the proceedings of the inquest,
as the officers of the company %gs-ssie We sFe cred
IDLY informed, ssssert their earnest wish to
have everything probed to the bottom, and
the investigation made as clear, thorough
and satisfactory as possible.
Mayor Hepburn having been charged
with fcrbidding the use of water upon the
burning wreck, Chief Engineer Knapp
publishes the following card:
AsHTABULA, Jan. 1st, 1877.

ders of any kind. either directly or Indirect

bula. at the burning of the wreck of train |

cipitsted with the iron bridge into Asht1- |
bula river on the evening of the 29th of |
December, 1875; nor did l hold any con-
versstion with him Of any kind that even |
