passengers. The baggage of Annie
Chism, of Nashville, Tenn, has been
found. She was missionary on her
| way to Brazil for the Women's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Methodist

1t is evident that many lives were lost
on this train-more than at first sup
posed. The whole train affair is still q
mystery. At least, not passenger has
so far been found or located.
| Five thousand men are at work. It is
expected that by tomorrow at least
10000 will be employed, but even this
force will not be able to remove the
debris in less than several weeks.

curious ones are constantly growing, to
the hindrance of the work of removing
the bodies and clearing the debris On
the Pennsylvania read the side gates are
practically shut, and it is hoped that this

across the Conemaugh, and nothing but
a pass from Adjutant. General Hastings
or Scott will carry one over it.
