Of water and firmly in the mud. The

Had it not been for the fact that tor
rents Of rain poured down all the af-
ternoon, the New York Central would
have had an excursion upon their hands
larger than any for many years. AS
it was train after trainload of curiosity
seekers landed at the stations near the
wreck. and walked through the drench-
ing rain to stand and stare at the mu-
tilated cars.
OF the sixteen dead who lay in the
Coroner's office at Cold Springs, eight
were heather foreigners, whose names
or residence meant scarcely anything
to the general public, and yet six of
those were identified and claimed long
before any person had come forward to
inquire or seek for two well-dressed
and evidently very respectable white
women, the only women who were
killed in the wreck.
The sixteen bodies that were held at
Cold Springs for identification and the
claim of relatives We're divided between
the undertaking establishments. "A
day long those places were besieged by
crowds of the curious, but only those
who might in any way establish the
identity of the victims were admitted to
look upon them.
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
from New York.
One of the two women 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.
Archie Boyd, an actor who was re-
ported missing, was seen by an Asso-
ciated Press reporter four hours after
the accident occurred on a train that
passed this point.
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 are in a serious condi-
ton tonight and all are doing WELL
DEPEW DENIES THE STATEMENT.
NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew of the New York Central road,
said this afternoon in regard to a state
ment published in an afternoon paper
to the effect that the company had for
some time been watching the place
where the wreck occurred, we'll knowing
its danger:
THAT is so absurd that hardly care
to make any reply. We run the New
York Central to make money. AS it's
we ride over it almost daily in
the same trains with the passengers.
