lt1ertie, who lived in Washington; that
he engaged in stock-droving, visited
Texas, and on his return, being out of
money, was endsavoring TO reach Wash
lngton, to see his sister. 1t was decided

On the other body the name of &c. r.

arm in India ink. In the pockets were
found base ball belt marked "Swan B.
Is. O." score book containing a record
of game of base ball between tine Cliff
ton and Maryland clubs, the former win
ming, by score of II to 7 ; an advertising
tablet of Baltimore clothing house, and
copies of the iiaielphia Times and IN
quirer of June 20th. Nothing further
was known about this body, and the jury
was about to take recess, when Mr..
VIM. Parry, of No. 80 King street, was
brought in and sworn as a witness. He
said he had examined the body and re-
cognized it as that of Christian II. Kraugh
son of Julius Kraugh, a resident of Balti-
more (No. 147 Gotf street,) formerly of
this city, and a grandson of Christian
kraugh, formerly proprietor of Rosen-
dale, the well known beer-garden in the
Seventh Ward. He said the young mans
mother was at that time visiting his par
ry's mother) in this city. Young Kraugh
was described as fellow of wanderi ng
disposition, who was continually travel
ling from one place to another over the
country taking free rides on the cars.
The jury then took recess and pro-
ceeded in special car to the scene of the
| accident. Here they thoroughly viewed
| the ground from the place where the en-
gine struck the obstruction, to where it
/ plunged into the bank. The place where
| the tie was said to have been inserted was
! critically examined, but beyond the fact
! that some of the track ties were thrown
slightly out of line no marks were visible
which made some of the jury rather skep-
tical in the belief that the accident had
been caused in the manner stated. While
| here the Coroner summoned VIM. III
| Hurley. Jr., and j. Edward Addicks, who
were on the ground soon after the acci-
dent. They will testify at the inquest.
| After viewing the ground the jury re.
turned to this city, and without taking
further testimony adjourned until 0.3O %,
| clock this morning, when the inquest will
be resumed. Attorney General Penn.
ington will he present he having tele.
graphed ts Coroner Rose to that effect.

Samuel Phillips, conductor of the
wrecked train, testified that the train
was due In Wilmington at 1926, and the
accident occurred at eleven mi NUT es past
ten left Philadelphia at $40, ten min
utes late; passed at Claymont at 1907
four minutes behind time. at the time of
the accident was running about 45 miles
an hour, according to my calculations;
the first intimation had of the accident
was slight shock, and then the action
of the braces on the cars; ] was IN
the front end of the smoking car,
the fifth car from the engine.
When l felt the shock got up and re-
marked to passenger opposite that we
were gone: all hands got up three climb
ed out of the window and the rest started
for the door before l got to the door
the crash came and the train stopped,
all the lights were extinguished by the
concussion; l got off and ran to the rear
of the train, placed signals there, and
met the rear brakeman coming out the
door with his lamps; told him to get
back towards Claymont as quickly AS
possible, and then obtained red lamp
and started up front with the head brake
man, to see that he went out to stop any
train that might be coming north.
