any signs or the wreck. Division Su-
perintendent Mccoy decided that none
of the cars would ever be fit for use again
and that with the exception of the cush
ions there was nothing worth saving.
The torch was applied to the day coach
and the combination smoking and bag
gage cars. The work of raising the
sleeping coach Hermes proceeded slow
ly, and it was not until l o'clock that it
was floated upon transport. While
being raised, the trucks gave way and
fell with crash into the river. The car
was towed down the river and deposited
on the bank, where it was destroyed by
fire.
The last coach of the ill-fated train,
the Niobe, was gotten out of the water
at o'clock and also was burned. The
express car is 300 yards below. No at
tempt will be made to raise it until to-
morrow.
All day a large force of men has been
at work on the track. The nOrthbouild
track was moved over five feet east,
firm bed composed of sand, gravel and
broken stone having been prepared for
it. The track has also been planned for
southbound trains.

MORBID CURIOSITY
Had it not been for the fact that tor
rents of rain poured down all the after.
noon, the New York Central would have
had an excursion upon their hands
larger than any for many years. AS 1t
was, train load after train load of Curl
osity seekers landed at the stations near
the wreck and walked through the
drenching rain to stand and stare at the
burning embers and mutilated corpses.
OF the sixteen dead that lay in the cor
oner's office at Cold Springs, eight were
heather foreigners, whose names or resi-
dence meant scarcely anything to the
general public, and yet six of those eight
were identified and claimed long before
any person had come forward to inquire
or seek for two well dressed and evi

BODIES IDENTIFIED
Early in the day the Cinnamon, who,
it was supposed, would have to be buried
at the countys expense, were for the
most part identified by fellow country
men from New York.
One of the two women was identified
this evening as Mary Lindsman of Utica.
N. Y. She was identified by her hus-
band, Robert Lindsman, a tailor, who
said that his wife left home on Saturday
night to SO to Croton on visit to her
mother.
Archie Boyd, an actor, who was re-
ported missing, was seen by an Asso-

the accident occurred on a train that
passed this point.
INJURED DOING WELL
Stories current tonight that some
parts Of the wreck caught fire after the

are also the rumors that two bodies had
been found near Peekshill. None of
