Number of Dead in the Atlantic City

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. AFTER
much perplexity resulting from many
cases of mistaken identity, the number
of dead as result of the awful col.
lisions on the Meadows was this after.
noon positively fixed at forty -four.
The impression prevails that the re.
sponsibility for the accident rests upon
the dead engineer, Edward Farr.
There is no dispute that the signal 10
60 ahead was given to the West Jersey
excursion train, and if SO the danger
signal must necessarily have been given
to the Reading track by an automatic
arrangement The theory is that Farr
did not slow up and could not stop in
time when he saw the West Jersey
train approaching. Ii is said he had
been laid off for two weeks not long
ago for not making good time, and it is
supposed he was trying to make up for
this by running at high rate of speed,
