Garrisors, N. Y, Oct 26.-Twenty lives are known to have been lost in Sundays accident on the New York Central rail- road, and eighteen bodies have been found.

The engine was also brought to the surface, and with it he body of Fireman John o. Tomplins. tightly wedged between two masses of debris.

When tho water had drained out of the car those watching the operation saw at one of the windows a human hand and just beyond the f.et sticking out from under one of the seat tops The wreclcers tore aside the debris and soon had the body out No more bodies were found in the car. +-

 The body removed, the seventeenth since the wreck and the twentieth known victim was that of man, 35 years of age, dark, with a dark, short mustache In one of the pockets of the vest was a wallet containing s62 and a casualty insurance company ticket. such as is sold at railroad stations. The ticket was made out for the usual sum, $2, 800, in case of death, but very curl ously the name or rather het last namss of both payees and beneficiary was missing. h're card reads So far as can be deciphsred, like R." as the purchas- CTS name and Mrs. E. as the person to whom it was to be paid. The rail- road officials are of the opinion that the man boarded the train at Roches- ter. The body was taken to the coro- ner's office at Cold Springs.
 valuables Intact
 Another interesting event of the day was the raising of the express car from which it was alleged that large sum of money had been lost by the dropping to the river bottom of a small safe. General Superintendent Van Valken- 70 pany, was present when the car came up. When the car came to the surface 1t was seen that it was the most badly damaged of any that had yet b en talk en out One half of the car had been entirely demolished and washed away. As soon as possible the car was searched by inventory and then Mir. Van Valken- berg gave out a statement to the effect that no valuabes except small pack age of jewelry had been lost. Both safes were recovered with their con- tents.
 Fireman Tompkins' Body
 The engine was dragged out of the river tonight just before dsrls The divers had located the tender early in tne afternoon When shortly after o'clock It came to tke surface of the liNCI ll Nfi5 ttcIt tlfdt iDe ttuChS We're missing and that the front of the boiler and the guards were smashed into an unrecognizable mass. As the great machine came in sight one of the men on the lighter saw clothes dangling from the front and when the Planters could be brought to bear 1t was found that the rags covered a human b0jy. that of Fireman Tomp5ins. The body was wedged in front of the boiler, and had to be dragged out. It was taken to train at once and sent to Cold Springs to the coroners office.
 To Search For Other Victims
 1lhe fact of the finding of the fireman's body tonight in the position in which it lay has led to the belief that the eDgi- neer's body is somewhere in the locality, probably under the engine. If the rais- ing of the trucks of tfle engine and of the tender in the morning do not bring to light the bodies of Engineer Doyla and young Mckay dreiges will be put to work in the vicinity to see whether they are buried In the mud. -
