FORTY FOUR DEAD.
All But Four of the Atlantic City
Victims Identified.

Victims Identified.
y ATLANTIC CITY N. u. Aug 1.a'
Confusion exists here regarding the
exact number of persons killed in the
accident of Thursday night. Forty
bodies have been identified and four
unidentified, but relatives and friends
Of four others,n WHO We're known to
have been on the excursion, have not
been able, to find those persons. nor to
recognize them among the still uniden-
titled. AS the wreck has been cleared
away and no additional bodies found.
the probability is that they are among
these unidentified and that the relatives
and friends have been unable to recog-
niZe them, BECAUSE of their mutilated
condition. This. would place the total
killed at A. -t'~
Several of the injured are still living
in critical condition at the SAM
tarium. Mrs lFaunee Fralinger, Of
Philadelphia, whose right leg was
amputated yesterday afternoon, is still
very low, and there is no hope for her
recovery. A young woman about 10
years old, who has been lying, sense
less at the hospitalesince the accident.
recovered consciousness for a few
moments this morning, but is to ill to
admit Of questioning as to her identify
There is strong probability that she
is Miss Lizzie Branin, of MiIlyille N.
j., who was known to have been in the
excursion party. but has not since
been heard from. There is much per
plexity here over the dispatch from
Millville, to the effect that S. P. Muir
ply, who has been numbered among
the dead from the time Of the acct
dent, is alive and we'll at his home
The body supposed to be his was
Identified as such by fully Is people.
An impression prevails that the re-
sponslbility for the accident rests upon
the dead engineer, Edward Farr. There
is no dispute that the signal to come
ahead was given to the West Jersey ex-
cursion train, and if so, the danger
signal must necessarily be given to tbe
Reading track by an automatic ar.
rangement. The signals then become
locked and cannot be released until
both trains have cleared the point. Be
fore the signals are manipulated. the
red signal is constantly displayed to
both tracks, indicating to all engineers
that they must slow up on approach
Ing the crossing. The theory is that
FAIR did not slow up, and could not
do so in time when he saw the West
Jersey train approaching. 1t is said
that he had been laid off for two weeks
not long ago, for not making good
time, and it is supposed that he was
trying to make up for this by running
at high rate of speed. The coroner's
inquest will begin Monday morning.

PASSENGER TROUBLES.
Another War Threatened Among the
Western Roads

Another rate war threatens Western
lines, in addition to the trouble which
the roads are having over the Salt
Lake rates. The Missouri, Kansas e.
Texas has commenced slashing rates
on immigrant, traffic to Western and
Northern points, and now it is cheaper
for new corners to go way around by
the gulf and comelup that way. than it
is to land at New York and come over
land. The rates are considerably low
er, and it is very likely some interest
ing competition will follow
The Salt Lake rate war has been met
squarely by Chairman Caldwell, of the
Western Passenger association who
has authorized all roads in the asso-
citation to meet the $50 rate of the Mil
waukee line and that of the Union Pa
cific. However the tickets will be on
sale for one day only and will be good
only for continuous trip. Inspectors
will be used to5see that the return tick
cts are not sold and manipulated con-
trary to law.

Probability That the New Owners
Will Meet Here.

The probabilities are that the meet
ing OF the new owners of the North
ern Pacific will be held in ST. Paul in
about a month, instead of at New
York, as has been the custom hereto
fore. At this meeting, the vice presi-
dents and other officers will be elected.
There is some speculation as to the
possible consolidation of the office of
president and that of general manager.
1t is claimed that the duties of presi-
dent will not be so arduous but that
that official can. also handle the duties
of general manager. This, of course,
would mean the retirement Of General
Manager Kendrick, but it is declared
that he will be appointed vice president
at the Pacific coast.

Do You Use It?


It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair

Railroad Responsibility.

In view Of the frequent acci-
dents on the railroads about Dur
ham recently, particularly that
Of yesterday morning, it is IN or.
der to think of how and when re-
sponsibility should attach to these
corporations
We are not of Those who believe
that a railroad should be blamed,
upon general principles, for every
accident that occurs, however bad
its consequence, but we do believe
they should be held to a strict ac.
countability for criminal negli.
gence' when property is damaged
or life endangered.
If a man deliberately walks
their track as a pathway, know.
ing that it is their property. over
which they are at liberty to run
trains at option, he assumes in
great measure the risk of his
trespass. The track is railroad
property, and no pedestrian has
any right on it. But, the cross.
ings belong to the public to cross
as they please, and we submit that
when a railroad leaves cars so as
Obscure approaching engines
from the view of those crossing,
or fails to warn travellers by
whistle or bell, they are guilty Of
criminal negligence Of such ma
ture there is no excuse under the
statute, Or in equity.
Since the Goth Of December last,
two men have been killed outright
here on the railroad ; a third was
so badly hurt that he died from
the effects, another MANNED for life
and a fifth seriously hurt. Added
to these five, are Messrs, Norton
and Bauer, so seriously, if not ia
tilly, injured yesterday morning.
Public opinion has concluded
these eight accidents in so short a
a time is evidence of negligence
on somebody's part which must
be corrected, and life held in more
value. ~..~y

have set up the models Of corrup-

in open and brazen violation of

instead Of disowning them and
kicking them out, you not only
conceal their fault, but sanction
it by lending a helping hand for
its repetition. Why? "Why be-
