tinues. The relief train has just re-
turned to this city. Ten or more
wounded are in houses in Tariffville,
and are doing we'll. Twenty wounded

sons are from places west of the break.
One car lies in the river still, and
several bodies are supposed to lie in il;
two other cars lie head down in the
river, resting on the bridge, and the
passengers climbed up out of these.

and three others. broke In two in the
fall. and all escaped. George P. Hatch.

ing. Several of the dead show cuts
and bruises. but most of them ere

caused hy the heaters in the cars. The
Railroad Commissioners examined the
bridge two weeks ago, and pronounced
it safe.
The number of dead is Is, and of the
wounded 40, some severely, but most
only slightly. The funeral OF five
young men from New Hartford takes
place to day. No ladies were discov-
cred in the wreck to day. and no in

would be made if any were still in the
wreck, as the passengers were gen
orally parties from different towns. and
all were in company with friends or
acquaintance.
