DEATH LIST
AT SIXTY-SIX.
Several Additional Bodies
Taken Out OF Thorough
fare TO-daJ
DYNAMITE UNDER
SUBMERGED CARS

BY our own Wire, Publishers Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, oct. S0.-Several
additional bodies of victims Of the
railway disaster on the Thoroughfare
drawbridge were discovered to-day by
divers buried in the mud under the
trucks of the second car, which has
not yet been raised Efforts are now
being directed to getting these corpses
60 the surface.
From eight to fourteen Of the passen-
gers on the Inflated train are still un-
accounted for. Hope that any Of them
Is alive has about been abandoned, and
1t is expected the total death list will
be fixed at &C.
Dynamite will be employed to de-
stroy the trucks Of the coaches which
are still at the bottom of the creek. All
efforts to raise the trucks, which weigh
sixteen tons apiece, have proved fruit
less. To-day an order was sent to
Philadelphia for skilled handlers Of dy-
hamite, who will blow up the wreck

In the mud to-day the statement of the
railway company fixing the number Of
dead at 81, is contradicted. Fifty-three
Of the victims have already been iden-
titled and one unidentified body re-
mains at the morgue.
During the night half a dozen cases
were reported to the police Of persons
who are missing from their homes 1t is
believed that some of these. at least. are
victims Of the wreck. Coroner Gaskill
is inclined to believe that the death list
will number &C which was the figure he
urst gave.
The coroner's jury, headed by State
Senator Lee as foreman, will hold its
first session at 10 o'clock tomorrow. Sew
eral hours were spent at the scene Of the
accident yesterday by the jury where
W. W. Auerbury, general manager OF
the Pennsylvania railroad and other rai.-
way officials explained the operation OF
the draw bridge and how trains are sig
nailed when the draw is open. 1t is not
regarded as likely that the jury will di-
rect any arrests. althongh Il has the pow
er OF do so. but win content Itself with
finding the responsibility for the Disaster
leaving the prosecutor to act as ne thinks
best Both Mayor Stoy and Prosecute
Abbott express themselves as determined
that every effort shall be made TO fix
the blame Of the disaster and 10 hold any
guilty party to strict Accountability.
