teen dead bodies arrived
The bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Philip r. Gold

Nearly every man, woman and Child in
BridgetOn went TO meet the special train.
The crowd stretched out from the depot in
every direction for hundreds OF feet and
gioomily awaited the train.
When it rolled up to the station the scene
was OF an intensely sorrowful nature. Sobs'
and cries of anguish could be heard on every
side, womea wrung their hands and sobbed
convuisiveiy and strong men cried like
childfen.
WOMAN BEREFT OF REASON.
The volunteer fire department, with their
wagons, were In waiting, and with deft
hands assisted In removing the almost un-
recogniza BILE remains OF the victims OF the
tragedy, who were carefully placed in the
wagons and driven either to the homes Of
relatives or the undertakers-.
All aloug the route tetwecn Atlantic City
and Bridgeton large crowds were gathered
at the stations as thetrain swept by. When
the train lett Atlantic City there were
twenty-four dead Eodies on board. Two
were put off ut Elmer and three at other
small stations along the route, leaving
nineteen for Bridgeton.
Miss Lille Taylor, who was reported

Atlantic City, n. j. Aug. 1.-There have
been no further deaths since yesterday
among the injured in Thursday evenings
collision, and the list of fatalities still
still stands at forty-seven. The death list,
however, is likely to be increased to forty
nine, as two OF the wounded ut the sani-
tarium are In very serious state.
THESE TWO MAY LIE.
These are Mrs. FraIinger, of Bridgeton,
whose leg was amputated. and the IN
known woman with the fractured skull.
The latter recovered Consciousness this
morning, but can only talk incoherently.
and can give no explanation Of herself.
1t is probable that her skull will be tre-
pinned in the effort to save her life. All
the wounded at the hospital were reported
tids morning as doing well.
Five bodies still remain unidentified
They are those Of two women, two men and
a boy. Owing to the condition OF the bodies
IL they are not speedily recognized 1t Will
be necessary to bury them here.
Coroner Mclaughlin is pretty well worn
out by his Iabors since Thursday night, and
today he is doing little but sort out and
label the articles of valre and clothing IN
his hands.
1t is improbable that anything will de-
ve!op toward clearing up and fixing the re-
spopsibility for the aecidentf until the
coroner's inquest on Monday morning- As
the Inquest will attract big crowd, it
will be held in Odd Fellows Hall and the
general public WILDE admitted
Another of the bodies was identified
this morning. 1t was that of Que OF the
men who was recognized by his son as
Thomas Kelly, OF Elmer. n. J. Coroner
