report That Officials Knew the Fatal Re-
tanning Wall Was Weak Absurd.
New York, Oct 25.-President Depew
did not arrive at his Office in the Grand
Central depot until o'clock this after
noon. He was given statement print
ed In an afternoon paper to the effect
that the company had for some time
past been watching the place where the
wreck occurred, well knowing it's dan
gerous condition. THAT is so absurd
SAID Mr. Depew, that hardly care to
make any reply. We run the. New
York Central to make money AS it's
ofhc1als we ride over it almost daily in
the same trains with the passengers.
Now does it seem likely that we
are knowingly risking our own lives?
Inc only way we can make money out
OF the road is to make it safer than
any other and we spare no expense
to do this. have wired the state rail-
road commissioners asking them to
come at once while the matter is fresh
and make thorough investigation.
One of the commissioners was at the
scene Of the wreck Sunday, but want
to get all of them there"
The three victims in the Flower hos
pital are so far recovered that it is
thought they can go to their homes to-
morrow.

HE WON THE BET.

An uncouth old ranger from the San
Joaquin Valley was making his weekly
trip to Stockton the other day. and
CHANGED to be sitting with an imper-
tinent drummer in the smoking-car.
The old man helped himself to the
matches from the railroad box and tried
to strike one and then another.
"You have to scratch them on the box,
uncle" remarked the drummer.
"Oh, / guess l kin strike a match. -
replied the rancher, as he ripped one
across vanished panel of the car and
broke off the head. The drummer
laughed at his failure and gave him
some more information.
1.-THE only way. to light those matches
is to strike them on the box" said he.
"Oh, I guess l kin scratch 'em most
anywheres," and the old man tried one
on the sole of his shoe, another on the
arm of the seat, and still another on
the car door, while the drummer onlv
laughed.
81 tell you they are made so that thew
won't light unless you scratch them on
the box"
'Bet you they WILL
"I'll bet you 81 they won't''
"Bet you $40 they will"
"I'll take it,
The wager was made, the old man
took one of the matches, stood up, and,
hitching his trousers up so as to make
smooth surface over his broad thigh
gave the match deliberate scratch and
it blazed up. Then he deliberatelyligh
ed his pipe and drew down the stakes.
The smart drummer does not know
that the innocent oldrancher paws his
expenses every trip on that trick for

his trousers beneath the tail of his long,

Accident Happened.


Accident Happened.
Garrison's N. Y, Oct 25.-At 8
o'clock in the afternoon, in a pouring
rain, the wrecking car made another
vigorous search for the bodies of the
engineer and fireman and Superintend-
ent Van Etten's clerk. Mr.. Mckay.
Before the diver entered the water he
was approached by T. Thompkins, an
engineer on the New York Central, and
brother of Thompkins, the fireman
who is dead at the bottom of the river.
Thompkins asked him to do everything
possible to secure the bodies, and he
was Joined in the request by Frank
Foyle, brother of the dead engineer.
The diver promised to make vigor-
Gus search for the bodies and was gone
for twenty-five minutes When he
came up he declared that it was his
belief that the bodies were some dis
lance away from the wrecked engine
He said: "The boiler and machinery
of the engine lie out some fifty feet
from shore and the COW catcher and
front of the boiler are away down in
the pond. The body of the engine left
the trucks, for the trucks are within
twenty-five feet of the shore and fur
Their up the stream, The tender broke
away from the engine and lies partly
turned over some feet to the rear. The
cab Of the engine is badly smashed, but
I could find no trace of any of the miss
ing men and I don't believe they are
near the engine. l should say that if
they did not jump, and 1t looks as if
they did not have time, then the rush
of water through the cab was so fierce
that 1t fairly swept them out of it and
drowned hem. / would not be surpris-
ed if they are half mile or mile be-
yond the engine
Still later in the day the diver went
down again and began the work of fas-
tening lines and tackle to the tender
so that it can be raised. When this Is
accomplished the other parts will be
brought up and if the bodies of the
three men are not found by that time
the search will be abandoned, the the
ly come to the surface Mr.. Chapman
Of the wrecking company said he would
not be surprised to hear of them being
found ten miles from here.
The number Of persons who visited
the wreck to-day was well in the thou
sands. Every train brought it's full
quota Of passengers who wished to
crafty their curiosity by gazing upon
the evidences Of the disaster. Women
formed the greater part of the visitors
and Chief Detective Humphreys says
he saw a woman at the place at
o'clock this morning Nothing could
induce any of them to leave the place

| the undertakers took the bodies back
TO their respective morgues, there to re-
main until tomorrow morning, when
the controversy will probably have
been settled.
This afternoon George C. Green of
Buffalo, general counsel Of the Lake
Shore road, arrived at Cold Spring and
identified his nephew. Edwin A. Green
or Chlcago. He said that the young
man, who was thirty-two years of age,
had called on him in Buffalo a few
days ago, being on his way to New
York
The body was tonight shipped to
Binghamton, where Edwin's mother
lives and where he will be buried.
One of the women was identified this
evening as Mrs. Lindsman of Utica.
She was identified by her husband.
Mrs. Lindsman was twenty-four years
old and was a good looking woman
Her husband was very much affected
when he saw her dead body.
William S. Becker of Newark, N. J.,
was identified by his brother, Nicholas,
OF Auburn, tonight. The brother stat
ed that the family name was Schenck-
enbecker, but that they had changed
1T to Becker. He was thirty -eight years
of age and leaves widow and two
children.
The body will be taken tomorrow to
Yonkers, where Becker's mother lives.
While the body of the Italian. Tagu-
ana, was being examined $140 In money
was found strapped around his leg.
The body of Myers was sent to Ire
mont tonight
Archie Boyd, the actor, who was re-
ported missing, was seen by the Assoc
ciated Press representative four hours
after the accident occurred on train
that passed this point.
The stories current tonight 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 injured is known to be in
a serious condition tonight, and all are
doing extremely well.
