SAW TRAIN GO DOWN
Inquest on Thoroughfare Dis
 aster at Atlantic City.
DOOMED CARS WENT AT GREAT SPEED
Aged Bridge Tenasr TestiAes as to Operation and Condition of Draw bridge Over Which West
 Jcraey Express Plunged.

--~Rs
 ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov. g. Coroner Gaskill opened an Inquest here into the disaster at the Thoroughfare trestle drawbridge, when train of three electric cars plunged Into the wa ter, causing a loss of about sixty lives. The inquiry was held in the Bartlett building and so great was the crowd that the police had to interfere.
 The direct subject of the inquiry was the death of Walter Scott, the motor man of the train, who was among the killed.
 John E. Kelley of Chester, Pa, testi- ned that he was in the front car of the wrecked train just back of the motor. man. When the train struck the draw the front wheels jumped several inches and threw him of the seat. The next thing he knew he was in the water. He broke the glass in window and got out. He said the air brakes were applied as soon as the jolt came.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Driscoll of Atlantic
 
 car bound and go over. The train, she said, was going very fast, much faster than she had ever seen them run, and she had watched them many times.
 Dr. F. B. Colt of Atlantic City, act ing coroner's physician. testified to the examination and Identification of the bodies.
 Daniel Stewart, the aged bridge tend CT, testified as to letting the yacht Sinbad through the draw. After the yacht had passed he placed the red flags, or danger signals. He said the towerman relocked the bridge, and then he (Stewart went to the center and relocked the rails, raising them about an inch and half above the other rails. He said that the rails were down and fast, and he gave the signal, "All is right" and the towerman pull ed the lever.
 The only trouble he has had with the rails, he said, was in extremely hot weather, when they would leave the groove at the connection. If this hap pened he would hit the rail blow with hammer. He reported this to the company and was told to saw off the section that projected.
 The bridge previous to Sunday, he said, had not been opened for two days, but on Sunday he opened 1t twice. He said when the train jumped off the trestle he ran out to assist in the rescue, but could do nothing. The train was going pretty fast, and he did not notice that 1t slacked up for the bridge.
 The inquest adjourned until Monday morning.
 The body of H. N. Burch, another victim of the Thoroughfare disaster. has been recovered from the mud near the scene of the wreck. The divers who brought Burch's body to the sur. face say that the body was In an up. right position, leaning against billing of the bridge, and had apparently been sucked into the mud feet first.
 Several leather bags, hats and pieces of clothing were brought up by the divers.
