Atlantic City, N. j.. Oct. 30. BY the 1ye
wrecking of three-coach electric
train on the West Jersey & Seashore
railroad yesterday at least fifty pas
sengers persisted, and the list may
reach the total Of seventy-five when
all is known.
While crossing over drawbridge
spanning the waterway. known as
1.-THE Thoroughfare," which separates
Atlantic City from the mainland, the
train left the track and plunged into
the water. The passengers in the first
two coaches, with one OF two excep
tions, were drowned.
Twenty-Five Bodies Recovered.
Up to midnight forty-four bodies
have been recovered and 1t is believed
that at least twenty-five and probably
fifty more bodies still are in the sub
merged coaches.
Cause Of Wreck in Doub..
The cause of the wreck has not
been established. It was probably due
either to a defective rail or the break.
ing of some part of the superstruc.
ture of the first coach. 1t has also
been suggested that the drawbridge.
which had Just been closed after the
passage of yacht, may not have prop.
erly locked the rails. All the stories
as to the cause of the accident, how.
ever, are purely speculative.
While running at a speed said to
have been moderate, the first coach
left the rails and dragged those follow.
ing it over the ties for a distance of
fifty feet.
Plunged Into Water.
Suddenly swervins, the first two
coaches plunged over the side of the
bridge into the water below. The
third coach struck an abutment,
broke its couplings and for a brief
time hung suspended over the water.
Brief as was this period, however. it
gave more than score of passengers
an opportunity to escape by the rear
door. Then the car slid of and fol.
lowed the other two into the water.
1t is believed every one in the third
coach escaped alive, although all were
injured.
The accident was witnessed by
many persons on shore and assistance
was promptly sent from Atlantic
City.

EVIDENCE COLLECTED az GAR.
FIELD is SAID TO BE SEN.
sATioNAL.

Washington, Oct. SO.-President
Roosevelt has now fully digested the
evidence against the Standard Oil
company collected by James R. Gar.
field. commissioner of corporations
and has reached the decision to &c
ahead with the necessary proceed
ings to ask the federal courts to dis
solve the Standard on the ground
that it is operated in restraint of trade
and in violation of the Sherman anti.
trust law.
The action will be similar to that
against the Northern Securities com
pany, and it is the present intention,
to commence proceedings within two
weeks in the United States court a.
st. Louis. The action will ask for per.
nanent Injunction restraining the
Standard forever from continuing its
business un,ler the: system built up by
John d. Rockefeller.
Garfield's Facts Sensational.
The information that the action will
be commenced is positive. Commits
sioner Garfield's primary report on the
Standard Oil investigation, made last
May, is said by those who know to
lave been a mild document compared
with the information withheld from
the public by the same official.
1t is upon the secret information,
supplemented by evidence brought out
iE various state prosecutions against
the same corporation. and is strength.
ened by what is considered to be vol
untary information from other sources
which has come into the possession of
the government, that a network of evi.
dence has been prepared upon which
the government will base its allega-
ton that the Standard Oil company is
a trust in the legal acceptation of the
meaning Of the word, violator of the
Sherman antitrust law, and therefore
should be permanently dissolved and
prohibited from doing business by it's
I,esent methods.
