AN ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTER
was on one OF the first trains sent out
by the Pennsylvania road and he was
the first newspaper representative on
the scene.
The train was in charge of number
of railroad officials and Prosecutor
Perry, of Atlantic county. II drew up
in the darkness a few feet from this
side Of the fatal point.
The scene was wildly picturesqe. Can
opied by star-lit sky, with a blood red
moon almost at the full, shining in the
far background and the brilliant maze
Of lights glimmering from the city be-
yond, the gaiety of which has been sud
denly eclipsed by the most awful catas-
trophe in its history. Staggering in
and out of bitches and stumbling over
masses of broken timber with only a
few fitful lanterns TO help their strain
ing eyes, the rescue gang set brayely to
work. Axes and shovels were piled
with the greatest vigor and almost at
every half dozen strokes a mangled
form was brought up and laid out ten
derby. 1t was gigantic and sickening
task, and the strongest of men turned
aside, faint from a revelation of the
work of the spade. A heap Of blood
stained timbers turned aside by one OF
Ehe rescuers brought TO sight a woman's
arm. 1t had been wrenched off almost
at the socket and nothing remained
but a dripping stump. Even the hand
was gone. She had been clad in q
dainty white linen gown, the sleeve Of
which was still clinging to IT,
Not five minutes later chance blow

ly remnant,

bearing a picture of Atlantic City. II
was unbrCken. Scattered about the
ground near the wreck were many pie
ces OF clothing which had been torn from
the bodies CT the victims; hats, dainty
parasols, fans and gloves
Just as one of the relief trains reach
ed the Pennsylvania depot with its ter
rible lead, one man who lay in a cor
ner horribly injured, regained his SEN
| ses for a moment and clasping his hand
to his head cried in heartrending agony
who did this? Ny God, where are my
lwife and chldren?"
A late report says that fourteen OF
the injured have since died at the San
itarium.
superintendent I. n. Sweigard, of the
| Philadelphia & Reading Company
places the number of dead at thirty-sev-
en- and the injured at about the same
number. He sent a telegram to Ph.la-
delphia this evening which said:
There are thirty-seven persons killed
as follows:
Twelve women, twenty-one men
two boys and two girls. About the
same number injured"
Just where Mr.. Sweigard obtained his
information cannot be learned, as il
will be impossible TO give the correct

THAT TOBACCO
1t Was Stolen From the Store of
Adams, Booth & Co.

On Sunday morning Officer Higgins
found about hundred pounds Of to-
bacco cached away in a boiler on a lot
owned by the railroad company. The
supposition that it was stolen from a
freight car, however, proved to be un-
founded.
When the wholesale grocery store Of
Adams, Booth & Co., on Front street,
was opened yesterday morning it was
found that the tobacco had been stolen
from that place.
1t is believed by the proprietors of the
store that the theft was committed by
boys or burglars new to the business,
who had hid behind stack Of sacks be-
fore the hour of closing Saturday after
noon, and who afterwards made their
exit through the back door.
The money till was broken open, but
it contained nothing, and SO far as is

A long discussion ensued, Leonard
stating that the Mayor had notified r.

PARDON ADVISED.
Prison Directors Believe James Baker
to be innocent.

Governor Budd has received a COM
munication from the State Board Of
Prison Directors, in reply to his letter to
the board relating to the application for
pardon of James Baker, sentenced in
October, 1893, to serve fourteen years
for the crime of burglary committed in
Fresno
The board recommends that the par
don be granted on the ground that affi-
davits have been made by Weaver and
Headley, ex-convicts, that Baker had
nothing whatever to do with the crime.
Headley, who was the leader Of the gang
and by whose evidence Baker was con-
Victed, is now emphatic in his affidavit
that Baker was innocent.

EXTRA SILKS I!
&l3sl:l
Wednesday, 9:3O

We have often said that
doing a strictly cash business,
and also one Of the largest
businesses on the coast, en-
ables us to offer first-class
merchandise of exceptional
prices to a degree that would
be otherwise unattainable.
On Wednesday we shall offer
another proof of this fact in
the following sale Of fine
Silks.
Messrs. Arnold Constable Co. Of
New York, one of the largest silk
importing houses in America,
wanted a purchaser for ?, 900 yards
Of Fancy Colored Silks-all the
latest fall productions. We were
in a position to buy and sell quickly
such a large quantity, especially as
the colorings and patterns are OF
the richest and most desirable kind,
so secured the entire lot, and at
very low price.
Now, we can say Of these silks,
that we cannot remember time in
Sacramento-and our memory IS
excellent-when any such array of
expensive and fashionable silks
have been offered at any such
prices as these have been marked.
There are
Satin Jacquards, Ascot Novelties,
Taffeta Brocades, Ombre Stripes,
Changeable Figures, Evening Silks.
Chameleon Effects, Raised Figures,
Lining Silks, Waist Silks,
Silks like these were intended to
sell at ST and 81 rs yard. In
deed, some few pieces we
could readily dispose Of at
81 so per yard. They are all
perfect silks in every respect, and
there is not an old pattern in the
2, 900 yards. The assortment is SO
great that we have decided to di-
vide the silks into two lots and
make the
