conveyed to the ships by launches imme-
dintely from the hotel, and are allowed
the privilege OF going over these wonder
Z full fighting machines. &55 IA III

Started by Coroner.

Atlantic City. N. 1.-THE inquest
into the Thoroughfare disaster Of
Sunday was begun Thursday BY
Coroner Gaskill and after the exam.
tnati0n Of several witnesses IN Id
journment was taken until Monday
morning at ten O'Clock. The sudden
termination came rs Q surprise. but
II was stated later that this step was
taken for the purpose Of summoning
additional witnesses and to also give
the experts who are to testify an op-
portunity to prepare maps and other
necessary papers. None Of the on
cials Of the railroad company was
called.
The most important testimony thus
far adduced was that Of Bridge Tend
er Stewart and Mrs. Elizabeth Dris-
coll. The former testified that the
grooves In the rails over the draw
did not always connect, this being the
case In hot weather, and It was then
necessary to knock them In place.
Mrs. Driscoll said that the train was
running at high speed when it
struck the trestle. and another wit
ness said that there was no apparent
Of speed when the cars
rushed ON to the bridge.
Daniel Stewart, the aged bridge
tender, testified as to letting the yacht
Sinbad through the draw. After the
yacht had passed he placed the red
6ags, or danger signals. He said the
towerman rel0cked the bridge and
then he (Stewart) went to the center
and relocked the rails, raising them
about an inch and one-half above the
other rails. He said that the rails
were down and fast and he gave the
signal. IAN Is right" and the tower
man pulled the lever.
