home in Brooklyn He suffered some pains
full bruises, but was not seriously hurt.
The injured from the wreck who were
taken to the Flower Hospital. in this city,
are all doing well. There is no probability
that any of them will die from their hurts.
The number of dead is nineteen, as stated

this is the total list of the killed The
| bodies of the engineer. fireman and Mr..
| Van Etten's secretary are yet in the river,
xuith of hat fr,,vn n 1fofo
cry. OF the sixteen dead who lay In the
coroner's Office at Cold Springs, eight were
| heather foreigners, whose names or resi-
| dences meant scarcely anything to the
| general public. and yet six of these eight
were identified and claimed long before any
| person had come forward to inquire or seek
! for two well-dressed and evidently very re-
| spectacle white women, the only women
| killed in the wreck. The sixteen bodies that
| were held at Cold Springs for Identification
| and the claim of the relatives were divided
| between the two undertaking establish
ments. All day long these places were be-
sieged by crowds of the curious, but only
| those who might in any way establish the
| identity of the victimes were admitted to
| look upon them.
| The first body identified to-day was that
of Samuel Williams of Buffalo, who died
while on his way to Peekskill Hospital.
The body was removed from PeekskiI to
Cold Springs last night, and this morning
was identified by the mans brother, Henry
9. Williams. Early in the day the China
men, who 1t was supposed would have to
be buried at the cOunty's expense, We're for
the most part identified by felow-country-
men from New York Most of the China-
men lived in New York. Chin Lee Song
ana Chin Fong Hop were brothers, who
lived in San Francisco and were on their
way to New York to live being in charge
Of their father, Chin Quong Hon, of No.
10 Mott street, and who is now among the
injured in the Peekslxll Hospital Hoo
Wuh, fifty years of age, and for a number
Of years a resident OF New York, was on
| his way home from visit to San Fran
cisco. The bodies will be taken to New
York for burial. This afternoon George G.
Greene, of Buffalo, counsel for the Lake
Shore Railroad, arrived at Cold Springs and
identified his nephew. Edwin A. Green.
One OF the two women was identified this
evening as Mary Lindsman, of Utica, N Y.
She was identified by her husband, Robert
Lindsman, tailor, who said that his wife
ton on a visit to her mother. Mrs. Linds-
mans maiden name was Mamie Miller. She
left Croton some time ago, and has since
lived in Utica, where she was married to
Lindsman in August last. She was but
twenty-four years old. and was a good
looking woman. Her husband was very
much affected when he saw his wife's dead
body.
CROWDS OF CURIOUS PEOPLE.
Had it not been for the fact that torrents
Of rain poured down all the afternoon the
New York Central Railroad would have had
an excursion upon it's hands larger than any
for many years. AS II was, trainload after
trainoad of curiosity seekers landed at the
stations near the wreck and walked through
the drenching rain to stand and stare at the
burning embers and mutllated cars. Women
were in the majority. The weary gangs OF
wreckers were relieved early this morning
by fresh ones, and the work of getting the
chains from the derricks upon the sub
merged cars was vigorously prosecuted Aa
