foreman; Isaac Bacharach, Samuel H.
Headley, John P. Ashmead, Charles
P. Roesch and David r. Barratt.
These jurors met at one o'clock
and, accompanied by the coroner,
Prosecuting Attorney Abbott, City So
licitor Wootten and several other city
officials, proceeded to the scene of the
tragedy.
At the bridge they were joined by
Mayor Stoy and w. w. Atterbury,
general manager of the Pennsylvania
railroad.
Places Dead at So.
After the forward car of the two
submerged coaches had been hoisted
to the surface, and the divers who had
been at work on the wreckage all day
long had made final examination Of
the second car, without finding any
more bodies, w. w. Atterbury, gen.
eral manager of the Pennsylvania
railroad, who, with several of his as
sistants, had been on the scene since
Sunday night, expressed his belief
that the total number of dead would
not exceed SO.
There is bare possibility that
one or two others may have been
killed." he said, ''but feel confident
that the number of victims will re-
main at SO.
Il cannot believe that any of the
unfortunates were carried out to sea
by the ebbing tide"
Cause of Wreck Mystery.
On returning from the drawbridge
Mr.. Atterbury discussed the accident
freely, but when asked to give his
theory as to, the cause of it he replied
that it still is mystery to him.
81 still believe" he declared, that
there was nothing wrong with the
rails or the bridge. I am inclined to
think that the cause will be ascer-
tanned when the first coach is exam
ined."
Mr.. Atterbury himself showed the
Jurors how the bridge is operated and
explained in detail the manner Of
opening and closing the draw. On
their return to this city, the jury de-
cided to hold the first session Of the
inquiry on Thursday.
Although reasonably certain that
the narrow waterway into which the
electric train fell had been relieved
OF all its dead, the divers continued
their work late into the night and
maintained a diligent search. The
wrecking crew was also kept busy
preparing for the hoisting of thesec-
ond car. The debris Of the last car,
whNh stuck and was held fast by
an abutment, has not yet been re-
moved, an effort in that direction re-
sulting in half the coach sliding into
the stream.
Despite the heavy distractions pre-
scented by the wrecked train. the road
way has been sufficiently cleared to
permit the resumption of traffic, and
the scheduled time table is again be-
ing followed.

SKULL OF MOST PRIMITIVE MAN
Journalist in Nebraska Has Rare Spe-
cimen In His Possession.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29.-Prof. Henry
Fairfield Osborn, of Columbia univer-
sity, came to Omaha from New York
to examine a skull recently unearthed
short distance north of Omaha by
Robert F. Glider, local journalist
with a penchant for scientific re-
search.
After a minute examination Prof.
Osborn declared the skull to be that
of the most primitive man yet discov.
cred, with the exception of what is
known as the Neanderthal man found
in Germany.
The difference shown by measure.
ments of the two skulls, according to
Prof. Osborn, shows that the latter
was a mere animal, while the Nebras-
ka skull is that of thinking man, al
though of the lowest order.

.fIFTY-THREE DEAD
At ATLANTIC CITY
FORTY-NlNE VICTIMS OF BRIDGE
WRECK HAVE BEEN IDENTI-
FLED BY FRIENDS.
Divers Make Thorough Search of Sub.
merged Cars and Report no More
Bodies Are to Be Found Inside
the Coaches.

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct 30.-The
total number of dead in the appalling
wreck of the electric train which on
Sunday afternoon, loaded with pas
sengers, plunged into the waterway
separating this city from the main
land, is now placed at So. OF these,
40 bodies have been identified, two
bodies remain unclaimed in the tenn
porary mortuary, and two people are
known to have been drowned, but
their bodies have not as yet been re-
covered.
Bodies Taken from Cars.
A special car containing the bodies
of the Philadelphia victims left Mon
day night for that city.
The day has been one of unceasing
activity, of grewsome scenes and pa
thetic incident.
Wrecking crews with derricks sue
ceeded in bringing one of the two
submerged cars to the surface, and
divers, working in relays, brought up
bodies until their task was completed
and they reported that no more dead
remained either inside the second car
or anywhere in the vicinity.
Interest now centers in the work of
the coroner's jury, which 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 Cas-
kill is made up of the following citi-
zens: State Senator Edward S. Lee.

DEDICATE ILLINOIS TEMPLE.
WILLIAM ]. CALHOUN DELIVERS
GRAFTON OF THE DAY.
Gen. J. c. Scofield Accepts Handsome
Temple on Behalf of the Fed
eral Government.

Vicksburg, Miss, Oct 27.-The ded-
ication of the magnificent Illinois Me-
mortal temple in the Vicksburg Ma
tional park took place Friday under
the most favorable, auspices. A clear
and beautiful October day set the seal
of its approval upon an occasion
which was alike delightful one to
the men who wore the gray and those
who wore the blue. Fraternalism
was the keynote of the speeches and
was the spirit of the greeting which
was exchanged when the confederate
veterans from Mississippi and Louis
lana met those from Illinois.
William ]. Calhoun was the orator
of the day and addresses were made
by Cows. Vardaman, of Mississippi,
and Deneen, of Illinois; c. E. Mat
thews, president of the Illinois Mon
ument commission, and others. The
monument was accepted on behalf of
the United States government by Gen.
]. c. Scofield, who represented the
secretary of war on this occasion.
The booming of cannon and the music
of bands added much to the spirit of
the dedication. The parade, which
preceded the dedication was one of
the greatest events of it's kind in the
history of this section. The troops
were composed of the First Illinois
regiment of infantry, the infantry OF
the state of Mississippi and battal-
ion of artillery of Mississippi. Hun
dreds of carriages containing men
and women of national reputation
were in line.
Among the invited guests of the
state of Illinois who attended the ex-
ercises were: Mrs. John A. Logan
and her daughter, Mrs. Tucker; Rear
Admiral Bowman H. McCalla, U. S.
N, who commanded the Marblehead
in the Spanish war, and Maj. Gen. Eu-
gene A. Carr, U. S. A., the only sur
viving Illinois division commander OF
the Vicksburg campaign.

Three ARE killed
IN Gas EXPLOSION
FIVE BUILDINGS ARE LEVELED
TO THE GROUND AT COFFEY-
WILLIE, KAN.
Fluid From Leaking Main Is Ignited
and Whole Block of Buildings Is
Destroyed by the Blow Uup That
Follows in Quick Order.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 29.-Three per-
sons were killed, three were serious
ly injured and 20 more were more or
less injured in terrific explosion
of natural gas, which complete
ly demolished five two-story brick
at noon Sunday. The dead:
Dead and Injured.
Jess Ross, negro.
Mrs. J. E. Mcdaniel.
Young son of c. ]. Chosen, grocer.
The seriously injured:
G. J. Chosen, a grocer.
Cotton Ray, cabman.
Mrs. Pearl Keller.
Three-year-old son Of Mrs. Keller.
Caused by Leaking Main.
It is supposed that the gas escaped
from leaking main somewhere in the
block, and that after sufficient guam
tity had accumulated it became ig-
nited, causing the explosion. The
buildings were in row on East
Eighth street and were occupied by a
real estate Office, three stores and
restaurant. The second floors of all
the buildings were occupied by room
ing houses.
Two Die at Hospital.
Neither Ross nor Mrs. Mcdaniel was
killed outright by the explosion, but
both were frightfully injured and died
shortly afterwards at hospital.
Brick and glass struck the negro
cabman, and Mrs. Mcdaniel was
crushed by falling debris.
The entire block of five buildings
was leveled to the ground, and only
broken bricks, scattered lumber and
twisted iron remain. The buildings
and stocks in them are total loss,
as none of them was insured against
explosion.
Fire Follows Explosion.
A fire broke out Immediately after
the explosion, but the flames were
quickly extinguished and little dam
age was done from that source.
Several persons were buried In the
debris, but Mrs. Mcdaniel was the
only one fatally hurt. The others who
were rescued were only slightly in
jured.
One little girl, a daughter of S. ID.
Frazier of the Kansas Land company,
was under the timber and brick for 20
minutes, but was taken out unin1ured.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use 80 much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

MEN QUIT WORK
ON BIG DITCH
Contractors Find It Difficult to Keep

Mr.. Naylor came in from the work
yesterday and was seen this morning
about the strike. I'VE had no strike"
said Mr.. Naylor. Men are constantly
quitting on one pretext or another and
when they have been in town a few

/ had some men quit Friday night and
some of these have already returned
and some more would like to but their
places have been filled by Others"
All contractors are complaining of
the fact that men are so migratory. LIT
is necessary to have three crews for
every job" said a prominent builder to-
day. You need one coming, one at the
job and one leaving for other work.
Pay day always means that some of the
force will quit the job till their money
is spent but you can figure that those
who come to you are broke and hum
