 special car containing the bodies of the Philadelphia victims left tonight for that city
 Day of GruesOme Activity.
 Lae nf eli activity, of gruesome scenes and path etic incident. Wrecking crews with derricks succeeded in bringing one of the two submerged cars to the surface and divers working in relays brought up bodies until the task was complet- ed and they reported that no more dead remained inside the second car or any where m the vicinity.
 Interest now centers in the work of the coroner's jury which today made a careful inspection of the scene of the wreck and the drawbridge at which the train left the rails
 The jury sworn in by Coroner Gas kill met at 1 o'clock and accompanied hv the coroner, prosecuting Attorney Abbott, city Solicitor Wooten and sev- eral other city officials. proceeded to the scene of the tragedy. At the bridge they were joined by Major Story and w. W. Atterbury. general manager of the Pennsylvania railroad.
 After the forward car had been hoisted to the surface and the divers who had been at work on the wreckage all day long had made final examin- ation of the second car without finding any more bodies. general manager Att terbury who with several Cs his as- sistants had been on the scene since Sunday night expressed his belief that the total number of dead would not exceed fifty-three.
 There Is d bare possibility that one or two others may have been killed, he said but I feel confident that the number of victims will remain at fifty three. I cannot believe that any of the unfortunates were carried out to sea by the ebbing tide"
 On returning from the drxwbridge Mir. Atterbury discussed the accident freely but when asked to give his theory as to the cause he replied that 1t is still a mystery to him.
