ground the coroner's jury again separated
until this afternoon, when another meot-
ing will be held. All the dead so fan
found and identified have been removed 10
their former homes. The first train
used for this purpose left the West Jersey
station late yesterday afternoon for Bridge
ton. 1t carried 23 bodies. Tho remain
ing corpses wore sent on later trains. One
woman, whose identity was established by
her clothing, was decapitated in the wreck
and her head was found at a considerable
distance from the body.
The theory that more bodies are under
the wreck is strengthened by the fact that
many inquiries are being made by rela.
tives and close friends for persons who
cannot be found and who are not among
the unidentified dead or injured.
Pathetic Scenes at the Morgue.
The cen;or Of interest has been the i'm.
provised morgue, and a strange spectacle
for this city Of proverbial gayety was the
continual procession of undertakers wag-
ons bowling along Atlantic avenue, the
principal thoroughfare, carrying bodies to
that place and lattr to the Pennsylvania
railroad station. Inside the morgue tragic
scenes were being enacted. A few Incl
dents there will suffice TO picture the gen
eral happenings of tho dreadful task Of
Identification. A young man named Nor
ris Peters, with his father Joseph, were
on the excursion from Bridgeton. Both
were killed. The mother and daughter
came down to look for their loved ones.
When they found them, the scene was SC
inedably pitiful that every beating heart
in the gloomy place throbbed with griel
and pain. The body Of the youth was
reached flrst. Both women stared at the
lifeless form for a moment silently, then
the pent up rivers Of the eye found won't,
and they sank down, sobbing wildly. Tho
attendants tenderly asked them TO come
to the body OF the father, but, with all the
little strength left to them, the women re-
fused. 1t was necessary to the work OF
Identification, however and the shudder
ing women were led to the other corpse
This was the last straw. The women col
lapsed entirely, and It was necessary tC

away in a carriage Such scenes as this
were continuous.

A pathetic fact which has come to ligh
