tween two masses of iron in front
Shortly after o'clock the large der

The card reads. AS far as could Dec de-

ClI Springs.
Another interesting event OF the day
was the raising of the express car from

money had been lost by the droppi'g 10
the river bottom of a. small safe. General
Superintcndeut Van Nalkenburgh. OF tho
American Express Company. was present
when the car came mp. When the car
came To the surface DO was seen that it
WAS the most badly damaged that had
vet bocn taken out Onc-hllf OF the ear

cd away. As soon as possible the car
was searched by inventory. ana tn'n MT
Van Nalkenburgh gave ont "a statement
10 the effect that mo- yaluabloa except

Both safes were recovered with their
contents.
The engine was dragged ont or the
river Tonight just before dark. The dive
ers had located the tender early in the
afternoon when shortly after . o'clock

was seen that the trucks were missing
and that the front OF tne boiler ana
the guards were smashed into an un-
recognizable mass.

well wodged in front OF the boiler where
the engine number plato ls. and had 20
Doe dragged out. 10 was taken 90 train
at once and sent 20 Cold Spring 10 tho

The fact OF the finding of the fireman 3

IL lay has lea 10 the belief that the en-
ginccr's body g. somewhere in the local.

bring 10 light tho bodies Of Engineer
Foyle and young Mckay. dredges will be
put to work I'm the vicinity 10 see whether
they are buried in the mud
