StiII MisainE.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j.. Oct. S.-The
third and last car of the Thoroughfare
wreck was lifted from the water late to-
day. When placed on the mud bank, the
car was IN such a condition that It actually
fell apart Of its own weight Chief of Po-
lice Maxwell and a squad Of officers made
a diligent search for any bodies that may
have been wedged in the ear. but found
none.
Mystery surrounds the nonappearance of
several persons who were known to have
been on the train, and may indicate that
their bodies are either held fast in the
thick mud or have foated down with the
tide
The local officials say the total death
list is siXty.two. On the other hand. Il
great many were early on the ground and
some OF those who were rescued from ,the
train are inclined to the belief that several
bodies were swept down by the heavy
tide and never recovered 1t is contended
by some that the total loss of life will be
about seventy.
The eoroner's inquest will commence to-
morrow morning.
