OvERwROUGHT NERVES.
The People of Atlantic City Fan
Easily Into IA Panic.

Atlantic City, n. J., Aug. 1.-While a
crowd of people were standing on the
board walk at the foot of Missouri av-
enue this afternoon, watching efforts be-
ing made to revive a Philadelphian, Rob-
ert Hart, who had been nearly drowned
while bathing, the temporary rail of the
new board walk gave way and a score
or more of people were precipitated hf-
teen feet to the sand below. Three wo-
men were seriously hurt, and a number
were badly bruised.
The pressure of the crowd upon the
temporary wooden rail proved too heavy,
and the board broke, throwing 20 or 90
men and women to the sand. The shrieks
of the injured and frightened people
created a momentary panic on the board
walk, and the crowd broke and fed in
fear that the whole structure was about
to fall. Confidence was speedily restored
and 1t was soon found that only the three
WomEn were badly hurt, although a num-
Der of other people were bruised and
shaken up. The women were taken to the
already overcrowded sanitarium, where
their injuries were attended to.
Hart recovered after about forty min
utes' work. This afternoons accident,
coming so soon upon the railroad col
Hsion has revived the excitement which
was subsiding, and people are in ner-
vous state of expectation Of something
else happening.
All the bodies were fully identified to-
day and the unknown woman In the hos
pltal VINO was UNCONSCIOUS, was recOg-
nized as Miss Lizzie Brannan Of Bridge
ton.
The tension Of the past few days under
which all classes of people here have been
is relaxing and the place Is taking on
again its normal air of gayety. Whether
the accident has made people timid or for
some other cause, there are comparatively
few people here for a Saturday night in
nid-season in Atlantic City. The interest
now centers in the coroners inquest on
Monday at which something definite to-
wards fixing the responsibility for the ac-
cident will be brought TO light. There are
still people here who contend that the
Reading train was racing with a train on
the track of the Camden and Atlantic
and that the Reading train was going at
such terrific rate of speed that it could
not be stopped when the danger signal
was suddenly shown.
The story that the Reading train was
racing when the accident occurred con-
tinues to be repeated but 1t cannot be
sUbstantiated with any accuracy. If the
two trains were racing the engineers were
violating one Of the strictest rules of their
roads, and were liable to instant discharge
if discovered. On the other hand, a man
whose name is withheld, and who wit
messed the accident says the trains were
not racing. This man, who viii be q
witness at the inquest, was riding a BIZ
cycle on the road by the block tower.

said that the city had done everything in
its power to help and care for the victims,
that the hotels had lent every assist tance,
and all possible been done He did not
think that the accident, sad and terrible
though it was, would interfere with the
seasons prosperity, for no blame could
be attached to the resort. Further, that
such accidents occur but once in a num-
Der Of years." he said, 'and il is almost
certain that no such horror will ever cast
its gloom upon this city again."
The cause of the accident was some
thing, the mayor said, which only jury
should determine, but be that what It may
the punishment should be severe.

MISTAKES IN IDENTIFICATION.
Owing to the MutiImtIOn of Bodies IL
Was Hard TO BE Certain.

Atlantic City. N. j., Aug. 1.-Since the
accident the greatest confusion has pre-
vailed in regard to the exact number of
the dead and their Identification. Last
night the Esteot s5t 81 was variOusly placed
a from forty seven TO forty-nine and as
there were a number of mutllated portions
of bodies it was impossible at first to ac-
curately fit them to the proper persons.
Some of the bodies were 50 badly torn
that they were improperly identified. This
afternoon all uncertainty as to the number
OF killed and their Identification was clear
ed up. The exact number of dead so far is
forty-four.
The body of Mr.. Feghan was identified
to-day by his wife. His body at first was
supposed to be that of Samuel +. Murphy
of Bridgeton. MI. Murphy, however, turned
up alive in Bridgeton and as Feighan had
come here on Thursday and nothing had
been heard from him since, by his family,
his wife came to Atlantic City to look for
him. Mr.. Feighan was a retired liquor
dealer and came to Atlantic City on the
police department excursion, and it is sup
posed he took the Bridgeton excursion
train in mistake for the Philadelphia
train.
The cottagers and hotel guests today
began to send contributions In money to
the sanitarium for the sufferers there.
Over $3.50 was received from this source up
to this hour.

TRADES CONGRESS ADJOURNED.
The Socialists Do Little More Than
snarI with the Anarchists.


London, Aug This was the last day
of the international socialist trades con-
gress. and aside from an academic discus
sion of social questions, its results, as
was expected, have been nil. It was de-
cided to-day that the next congress would
be held in Germany in 1899. II the political
difficulties in that country prevent the
holding of the congress there, then it
would be held in Paris in 1900. 1t was also
decided that anarchists would not be ad-
mitted as delegates to the next congress-
Prior to their adjournment the delegates
hurriedly adopted a number of resolutions
including one in favor Of granting amnes-
ty to political prisoners.
When the question OF the next congress
was under discussion, the American del
egates proposed that New York be select
ed as the place of meeting. They said
they would arrange to charter a steamer
to convey delegates from Europe TO the
United States, but the proposal was re-
jected on account Of the expense
Some of the trades unions delegates
urged that future congresses should dis
cuss practical questions and not ideal
states Many Of the delegates vehementIy
protested against this proposal especial
ly the Frenchmen.
The anarchists, who had been refused
admission to the congress as delegates
had esconced themselves in the gallery
Of the hall, and there signified their dis
approval of the proposal by shouting,

ing AUD Lang Syne" and the "Marseii-
