lowing statement regarding the wretk

After thorough investigation the
Pennsylvania railroad officials have
found no explanation of the accident

traced to the bottom, but the cause
of the derailment of the electric train

first.
ut was hoped that the trucks or
the cars when raised out of the water
would afford some clue, but they do
not They were carefully examined
by officials of the company, including
General Manager Atterbury, Chief
Electrical Engineer George Gibbs, Gen
eral Superintendent of Motive Power
A. w Gibbs. and others. The trucks
were intact, and there was nothing
about either the wheels or the other
parts to throw any light on the MAJ

bridge and the mechanism used in
moving the draw showed that these
were in perfect shape. All evidence
shows that the rails were exactly in
place Aside from the fact that the
ii.terlocking signal could not have
shown a clear track otherwise, the
bridge tender is positive that the
rails On the draw and those on the
stationary part of the bridge fitted pre-
cisely When the train approached he
was standing within three or four feet
of the point where the rails joined,
and he looked at the track to see
that it was all right. The officials

showing gross negligence on the part
of the railroad officials in connec-
tiuh with the equipment of the ill
fated electric express, which plunged
into the Thoroughfare Sunday after
noon, and while he has been unable
to get at the exact cause of the dis
aster from an investigation of the
trucks, he is said TO have sufficient
evidence to5make possible the enforce
ment of more rigid regulation in the
operation of trains on the West Jer-
sey and Seashore railroad in the flu
ture. Although two more bodies were
recovered today and many more seen
in the second car Of the wrecked
train the coroner and ms assistants

morgue and there identified as Mrs.
Paul Feisberg and Mrs. Sarah Miller,
90 years, both of Philadelphia Sever
al more bodies we're seen, but the
divers were unable to compute the
exact number, on account of the po-
sition of the wreckage inside the car.
The coroner thinks the number will
be increased when the car still an
the water, is brought up. Fully five
more bodies remain unaccounted for.
Altogether fifty-three bodies taken
from the wreck have been identified.
A negro, who was lost in the first
car, was identified as horace Foun-
tain, of Philadelphia. Another body

ey, travelling salesman of East Or

: To the Honorable, the Gentlemen
OF the General Assembly:


of the General assembly:
It is my high privilege to well
come. you to our Capital City and
to Our legislative halls, where. you
are to meet in annual session. Per
init me, in transmitting my Mes
sage to you, to emphasize the CRATE
full thoughts which should be ours
because of the prosperity which has
been vouchsafed unto US as a peo1
pie. Not only are we richer: in. the
material things for which mankind
so ceaselessly strives, but to these
gifts have been added the higher
blessings which uplift and help and
waifaich bring peace, and content to
those upon whom they are .bestow-
ed.
We will all: unite in the hope and
the belief that good to our state
will continue as the result of your
deliberations,' even as you will be
united in the fraterraal bonds of true
service and of patriotic endeavor.
STATE. FINANCES.
am grati6ied to report an inn
proved condition of our state f.
nances. In my last Message |
called attention to the fact that,
since the year 1900, the expendi-
tures had exceeded the revenue Of
: the state by annual sums varying
from $zo,o4s.42 to $2o8,oo5:23.
During the past fiscal year the rev.
errue has exceeded the expenditures
by about $12s,ooo.oo, as is estl-
mated by the Comptroller General.
This improved condition is en-
pl1asized by the fact that the state
treasurer has had to borrow less
money this year than formerly. If
the expenditures remain approx
n1ately as they are at present, it
will be seen that within a few years
the state will be operated upon a
cash basis. This is not only desira-
bic, but is unquestionably the only
basis upon which our business
affairs should be conducted.
The corporation license tax,
:passed i'll 1904, went into effect last
wear and has operated most salts
factorily with very little additional
expense to>tle state for collection.
From this tax about $4,000 in
round numbers has been realized
To: this can be added from insur-
,ance license fees, $37,ooo:oo; and
from the secretary of state $4,000
has been received, making tota!
indirect revenue amounting to
SI2I,ooo.oo.
The estimated receipts for the
past fiscal year from the 5 1-2 mill
levy, aggregate s1,164,24o.oo' max,
inp, a total estimated revenue o1
81 ,2o5 $4,000 from direct and lndl:
rect taxes.
The estimated expenditures fo'
the past fiscal year show Inquire:
amounting to $1,171,ooo.oo, leaving
a surplus revenue over expenses
amounting to S124,24o.oo.
