CITY WRECK VICTIMS
Forty Seven Persons Killed and Forty
Three Injured by Thursdays
Collision.

Atlantic City, n. J., July 81
Work Of recovering the bodies of
the dead and caring for the injured
victims of last nights terrible colli.
sion between the Reading Railroad
express and tbs Pennsylvania Rail
road excursion train contiL ued
throughout the night and during the
greater portion Of to-day.
Forty seven dead and forty three
injured are to nights figures on the
disaster on the Medows. OF these,
forty have been identified. Three
OF the unidentified are women. The
odd one consists of an arm. to which
no body has been found
The body of Engineer Edward
Farr, who died with his hand on the
throttle, was taken out early this
morning. 1t was with difficulty that
his ngid fingers were unclasped
from the lever. His head and face
were untouched, and his eyes looked
skyward with ghastly glare He
had been pinned down by the chest,
and apparently met instant death
Almost every bone in the bodies
of the victims was broken when
taken from the ruins, and many We're
so frightfully mangled as to be be
yond recognition.
The Reading train was the $40
from Philadelphia, due here at GAO
o'clock The West Jersey train was
the $50 special excursion train, car
rying seven coaches, filed with ex-
cursionists from Bridgeton, Salem
and neighboring villages iu South
Jerse,,. 1t was an excursion Of the
Impro"ed Order of Red Men, and
five Tribes were we'll represented.
The ii st car on the Reading train
and ths second on the West Jersey
were upset, but the third car on the
latter cau,ut the full force Of the
impact, and WAS literally cut in half,
and each half shivered to splinters.
When it IS remembered that this car
was jammed with human freight the
horror of the situation can be realiz-
ed.

To Learn
the Arts of Antiquity.

The announcement that the Theosophi-
cal Society of America will soon lay the cor
nerstone of a college wherein the myst-
cal arts and sciences will be taught is one
of the biggest pieces of news that has been
flashed across the wire from New York re-
Gently. and has awakened a great deal OF
interest and curiosity from all quarters.
The information in the press dispatches
was meager enough, and may we'll be sup
plemented by the following data contained
in private letter to member of the So
cety in this city.
In regard to the school of occultism,
says the writer, the following official an
nouncement was made by e. F. Wright:
The real founders of the Theosophical Soci-
ETY. are preparing to found school for the re-
vival OF the lost mysteries of antiquity in
which those who have served their time in the
lesser mysteries or the preceding degree
namely, in the discipline of the soul and the
service of humanity-may enter the greater
mysteries and become masters indeed by eyolv-
ing to higher planes of knowledge and power,
on the one condition that such power and
knowledge shall be devoted unreservedly and
forever to the service of humanity. To carry
out this purpose funds will be solicited, suit
able site procured and buildings erected when
the aim and possibilities of such an un-
dertaking shall have become apparent to those
who have the power and the disposition to
carry it into effect. This grand object will be
achieved with certainty through the diffusion
of reel knowledge regarding the origin, nature
aud destiny OF man by the Theosop hical So
ciety.

refused, and how he stirred up certain
spirits (whom he also names) to hunt
them, how they killed SO and SOS bullocks,
some one else's sheep and caused another's
child to fall i'll. Then he begins to call on
the najo to come and answer Tor his doings,
and in doing so rises to his feet-still COM
tuanding the najo to appear; meanwhile
he reels about. then falls on the ground and
is quite still except for an occasional vince
and a muttered, II see him; he is COM
ingl" This state NAV last for an hour or
more till at last the bhagat sits up and an
nounces that the najo has come. As he
says so man apparently mad with drink
rushes in and falls with his head toward
the bhagat, moaning and making a sort
of snorting as If half stifed. In this per-
son the bewitched parties recognize a
Deighbor, and sometimes a relation; but
whoever he may be they have bound
themselves to punish him. The bhagat
then speaks to him and tells him to con-
TESS, at the same time threatening him, in
case OF refusal, with his staff. He then
comics ses in a half-stupefed manner, and
his confession TALES with what the bhagat
has told in his frenzy. The najo is then
dismissed, and runs out of the house in the
same hurry as be came in.

chance of reaching it? Yet this is what
your infallible science of mathematics
teaches you. Let US suppose that you
owe even single rupee and that you
arrange to discharge this debt by paying
half of the rupee tomorrow, one-fourth
the day after, one-eighth the next day..
etc., always paying half of what you dis
bursed on the day previous. You might
go on paying day after day for millions OF
years and you would never pay off that
rupee. OF course this is truth which
some OF your mathematical prodigies will
pronounce self-evident, yet it involves u
profound mystery, and it illustrates the
fallacy of your science of numbers. Here
you are everlastingly adding fraction to
fraction and piling up particles OF silver TO
all eternity without the remotest pos
sibiIity of its ever reaching the amount of
one rupee. Imagine it if you can. Each
payment brings you little nearer the
goal, but you meyer reach it. Does this
not prove that your wonderfully exact
science is illusionP'

A College for
the Study of Occultism.

Ernest T. Hargrave president of the
Theosophical Society in America, has also
spoken on the subject of the proposed col
lege for the revival of the lost occult arts
of antiquity, and in an interview the
other day declared his intention OF visiting
the site of the proposed institution upon
his return from a tour around the world.
About the college in particular, Mr.. Har-
grove said:
The statement made by Mr.. Wright, pointing
to the opening of a school for the revival of the
old mysteries l know to be true. and it only
needs time to bring it to a frution. The time
has come and nothing in nature can prevent
its accomplishment, and now that the old souls
are coming Back it is absolutely necessary to
have this school.
Look at the past and see Egypt, its rise and
fall; the decay of other empires; see some OF
the European countries on the verge of crum-
bling, and then turn to America in the heyday
of It's youth. 1t has not yet reached its turn
ing point but in the next few years we may
expects big development. The future OF this
country is great one, and 1 look to this
country as the nucleus of race which is TO
follow the present race, when man will have
realized the universal brotherhood.
1t was announced that no money would
be taken in exchange for teaching in the
school, the tuition in which would be abso-
lutely free and for those only vino were
duly and truly prepared" About $35, 900
in cash has been contributed already.

sway of his body more pronounced, until
he works himself into state of complete
frenzy. Then with his body actually
quivering and his head rapidly working
about from side to side he sings in a loud
voice how certain najo (whom he names)
had asked money of those people and was
