 A special train from Philadelphia had reached the scene of the wreck at 7:20 this morning carrying among others three divers, who came down to~relieye the weary men who had been working increasingly through the night to recover the bodies.
 The efforts of the new men result ed in the bringing to the surface of three more bodies within q few hours These were taken to the tenn porary morgue, where they were laid out and tagged with numbers while . crowd surged around the doors anx- ious to get in and view the bodies. All told 37 dead lay in the improvlsed mOrgue, and at 10 o'clock anxious persons seeking lost ones were per mitted to enter the chamber of death. Most heart-rending were the scenes, and men who had worked to bring the bodies from beneath the waters in the Thoroughfare were touched and weeping. Among the most pathetic cases was that of Samuel McElr0y, OI Z,U<J HTeeH SlTcel, IuiiduelpHid, who after a sleepless night found his family wiped out by the disaster. His wife and five year old daughter, Oli- via, lay dead in the morgue and his three year old boy Is missing.
 Along among the rows of bodies lying covered with sheets lay one small body of a five year old boy. It was that of Eddie Mess of No 2,147 Sharswood street, who was drowned in the second coach of the i'll fated train. He came to Atlantic City with his father, Ernest, who escaped with his life but lies cruelty injured at the home of his brother in this city. The bodies of Dr Paul +. Felsberg and Mrs Felsberg were identified by his brother this forenoon
 A few minutes after 10 o'clock the wrecking crew brought from the wa ter the first car of the train and car ried it to the land. The wrenched and broken car contained no bodies, but three bodies were brought up with the lifting of the car from it's bed of mud, which seems to bear out the theory advanced by the police early today that some of the bodies may have floated out through the win dOwS.

Save Seed Corn.

One who was raised on a farm,
and who all his life has kept in
close touch with farm interests, feels
no hesitancy in saying that one Of
the most important items in farm
life aud one OF the most vexatious
problems at times. is the securing of
good seed corn But just now is
the time for the solution Of that
problem Go into your cornfield se-
lect well matured ears, strip back 3
portion OF the husk,tie II In loop
and hang the ear up in dry place
Gather as much as yon think you
will need with liberal margin for
emergencies, and then when planting
time comes YOU can rest on tne
shady side of Easy street with the
assurance that your corn will grow
all right The continued wet wealth
er, which is keeping the corn full of
sap. renders this plan particularly nee
essary this year as there will no
doubt be a good deal of corn caught
by frost In a soft condition.
