 Plainville, Conn.,, March 2.-The pas-
 senger that was killed in the railroad wreck on the Consolidated railroad be-
 tween Plainville and Pennington last evening was identified late this after
 noon as Edward Clapp, umarried who
 resided in Bridgeport. The identity
 was established by relatives in Plain
 vile, who reviewed the remains in Un-
 dertaker Fox's morgue. Clapp had
 been to Holyole, Mass, attending the | funeral of a sister. He was accompan-
 jed on the trip by his brother, Hophni
 s. Clapp of Bristol, and as the latter is
 missing it is supposed that his body
 will be found underneath the debris or
 1t is possible that it has foated into the Pennington river In the latter
 event there are slight chances of it's recovery.
 l The missing man has wife and three grown up children. Repeated telegrams to Holyoke, Mass, to-day disclosed nothing further than the two brothers started for the train together to return home.
 The debris of the wrecked passenger coach and combination car that was above the water line was burned this afternoon. Work on a new trestle is , being pushed as rapidly as possible, and it is expected that it will be possi- ble to run trains over 1t by tomorrow evening.
 The remains of Engineer Stephen T. Searles and Baggagemaster Edward Barrows, both residents of this city, who were killed in the wreck, were brought to New Haven on the 3:55 train yesterday afternoon. The re- mains of MT. Searles were taken to Burwelrs undertaking rooms on Chapel street. The funeral will be held to- morrow afternoon at o'clock from the late residence, 172 Howard avenue. The burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. The remains of Mir Barrows were talk en to Beecher & Bennett's undertal1- ing rooms. Arrangements for the fun eral have not yet been completed.
 The wreck in which the fatalities oc- cured was one of the most serious which has occurred on the steam rail- roads of the state for many years. When the news of the wreck was first received here Thursday night various wild rumors were floating about con corning the number of killed and in- jured. The reports sent out from the scene of the accident stated that four men had been killed. Yesterday it was thought that only three were killed, but it is now feared that H. S Clapp of Bristol, who is missing and is believed to have been on the train, was among the victims.
 It was reported yesterday morning from Plainville that J. T. Newton Of Westville was among the injured, but this has since been learned to have been untrue. MT. Newton passed over the culvert going north about an hour be- fore the accident occurred. He Is at Lake Congamond, where he is super intending ice cutting.
 The six men who were taken to the Hartford hospital were all getting along nicely yesterday afternoon, and it is thought that but one of them is seri- ously injured at all The one about whom the fears are entertained is Jo- seph w.
