The bodies Of the engineer. fireman

The incidents and features of yester-
day had a tinge Of the dramatic around
them. Had 1t not been for the fact
that torrents Of rain poured down all
the afternoon the New York Central
railroad would have had an excursion
upon their hands larger than any for
many years. As 1t was train load after
train load of curiosity seekers landed
at the stations near the wreck, anu
walked through the drenching rain
to stand and stare at the burning
embers and mutilated cars OF the IL
dead who lay in the coroner's office
at Cold Springs eight were heather
foreigners whose names or residences
meant scarcely anything to the gen
erai public, and yet six Of those eight
were identified and claimed long be-
fore any person had come forward to
inquire or seek for two well dressed
and evidently respectable Christian
white women, the only women killed
In the wreck. In the morgue they lay
for the full two days unclaimed and
unsought, evidently, while the other
dead were claimed and taken care of.
The 16 bodies that were held at Cold
Spring for identification and the claim
of the relatives were divided between
the two undertaking establishments.
All day long these places were besieged
by crowds of the curious, but only
those who might in any way establish
the identity of the victims were admit
ted to look upon them.
The first body identified yesterday
was that of Samuel Williams, of Buff
falo, who died after being taken out
of the wreck and while on his way to
the Peekskill hospital. The body was
removed from Peekskill to Cold spring,
and was identified by the mans broth
err Henry c. Williams, and Rev. Au-
gust Goetz, pastor of Bartholomew
Evangelical church, of Buffalo. 1t was
a pathetic picture that was presented
by the brother and his pastor as they
clasped hands over the body of the
dead man and wept together.
Early in the day the Cinnamon, who
it was supposed would have to be
buried at the county's expense, were
for the most part identified by fellow
countrymen from New York. Most Of
the Cinnamon lived in New York. Chin
Lee Song and Chin Fong Hop were
brothers, who lived In San Francisco,
and were on their way to New York
to live, being in charge of their father,
II, IF tx Mott afroof a nd
who is now among the injured In the
Peekskil hospital. Hoo Wuh, 80 years
of age, and for numer of years a
resident of New York, was on his way
home from a visit to San Francisco.
The bodies will be taken to New York
for burial.
Yesterday afternoon George C. Green,
of Buffalo, general counsel of the Lake
Shore railroad, arrived at Cold Spring
and identified his nephew. Edwin A.
Green, of Chicago. He said that the
young man was 80 years of age, had
called on him in Buffalo few days
ago, being on his way to New York.
The body was last night shipped to
Binghamton, where Edwin's mother
lives, ard where he will be buried One
of the two women was identified last
evening as Mrs. Mary Lindsman, Of
Utica, N. Y. She was identified by her
husband, Robert Lindsman tailor,
who said that his wife left home on
Saturday night to go to Croton on a
visit to her mother. Mrs. Lindsman's
maiden name was Mamie Miller. She
left Croton some time ago, and has
since lived in Utica, where she was
married to Lindsman In August last.
She, was but "a years old and was a
good looking woman.
William Schenckenbecker of Newark.
N. j., was identified by his brother,
of Auburn, N. Y. He was 38 years old,
and leaves a wife and two children.
Stories current that some parts of the
wreck caught fire after the accident
are declared to be untrue, as are also
the rumors that two bodies had been
found near Peekskill. None of the in
jured Is known to be In a serious con-
dition, and all are doing well.
