WRECK VICTIMS
Number That Perished
May Never Be
Known.
CORONER WILL PROBE

Harrisburg Pa, May 12.-Twenty-
two lives are known to have been lost
In the wreck of the Cleveland and
Cincinnati express in South Harrisburg
early yesterday morning The whole
number of the killed will probably
never be known for the belief still
prevails that the bodies of some of
the victims were wholly consumed
One of the patients at the city hospital
Max Stettheimer. died this afternoon,
and 1t is likely that two Others will
die there.
The body of Samuel Shubert, the
New York theatrical manager who
died in the Commonwealth Hotel to-
day, where he was taken after he was
removed from the wreck, was shipped
TO New York early this evening. The
party of twelve of his relatives and
friends including Abe Thalheimer who
was also injured in the wreck left to-
day for New York.
Three of the nine bodies at the
morgue were identified this afternoon:
They are: Miss Yetta Robinson. TOO
Central avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, burn
ed to a crisp, and identified by gold
filings in her teeth; Thomas H. Lewis,
| of Philadelphia, Pullman car conduc-
tor identified by bit of clothing and
his watch, leaves widow and family,
and Charles Brissinni, Philadelphia,
identified by two rings.
A public funeral of the other six will
be held tomorrow afternoon at the
Market square Presbyterian church.
In nearly every account given of the
wreck by eye witnesses there is no
suggestion that any of the men saved
themselves at the expense of women
Yor children. There are no terrible tales
like those which were told of the
Frenchmen on board La Bourgogne,
when that steamer was lost in mid
ocean and the men beat back the help
less women from the boats.
All through the tale of horror there
runs the bright golden thread of sac
rifice. Men invariably saw that wo-
men or children in their vicinity es-
capped from the doomed cars first. In
the face of horrible fate, they re-
membered they were men.
Pennsylvania railroad officials here
are still considering information of
the missing victims of yesterday S
wreck. 1t is probable that Superin-
tendent McCaleb of the Philadelphia
division OF the Pennsylvania railroad
will issue a statement as soon as he
confers with the higher officials.
Today the-remains of Conductor
Crossley, were shipped to his late
home in Philadelphia.
The remains of George Seeger were
sent to Pittsburg. The railroad COM
pany has watchmen on duty at the
scene of the wreck, to prevent the TAX
ing away of any valuables that may
be found. Special Officer A. B. Boat
picked up six watches which are In
the Office of Superintendent W.. B.
McCaleb at the Union station.
| Coroner Krause, with his jury, Will
liam Sheesly, AL S. Cooper, John W.
German, Alderman A. M. Lands, Ed
gar G. Hummel and j. III. Warden
have made several visits to the scene
of the wreck. The coroner is as yet
unable to say just when he will start
the official investigation. but thinks II
will be a week at the least

HERBERT CROKER'S
DEATH SUSPICIOUS
SON OF FORMER TAMMANY
CHIEFTAN
Dies on a Santa Fe Train In Kansas
Under Circumstances That
Are Peculiar.

Newton, Kansas, May 12.-Herbert
V. Croker, son of Richard Croker, the
former Tammany chieftain, died this
morning on Santa Fe train, between
Kansas City and Newton under circum-
stances that indicate fou play. Croker
was put on board the train at Kansas
City last night by negro, who handed
to him small sum of money and q
railroad ticket.
To the passengers, the young man
seemed to be in semi-conscious con-
dition as If suffering from drugs or
liquor. He layed quietly in his seat
and the conductor thinking him drunk,
did not take UP his ticket until the
train was nearing Newton, when he
discovered the young man was dead
The body was taken from the train
at Newton and turned over to an un-
dertaker. A message from Richard
Croker, Jr., New York, gave instruct
ions to embalm the body and hold 1t
pending his arrival.
Papers found on the body indicate
that he was travelling from New York
"101" ranch. He had letter from J.
ID. Correll and Col Zack Mulhall, of
New York to the boss of the ranch.
| Tickets found In his pockets indicate
that he attended the races in Chicago
early in the week and the Kansas City
races yesterday. The body shows nc
marks of violence. but from the fine
physical development of the man the
coroner does not believe he could have
died from heart trouble.
The local officers believe Croker was
drugged and robbed.

ted by nature and experience
than Clara Thropp to tell us OF

Young Mr.. Whimper, who had a
worthy ambition for public office. had
closed his canvass of his native State.
He felt sure of his nomination, and
was waiting, in good spirits, at his
fathers tireside to receive it.
He had been asked to tell his ex-
periences as a "spellbinder," and had
willingly consented
But, on the whole" was his modest
conclusion, Il was rather successful
And what gratified me particularly
was that in the places where l was
least known l met with the warmest
reception"

Whimper understood why his father
and the girls laughed, and even bis
mother smiled.

equally interesting, are the anecdotes
which are told about our President by

distinctly recollects that once she
prophesied the future greatness Of
young Teddy. She says: zone day l
had a conversation with Mrs. Roose-

is going to become of my Teddy" |
replied, You need not be anxious
about him. He will surely be one day

may become even President Of the
United States Mrs. Roosevelt re-
buked me. She said such a thing was
impossible, and asked how | coudd
