At 8 o'clock this morning eight I'M
identified bodies were at the morgue.
Coroner hewitt will begin the inquest
today. Five members of the crew of
the train causing the wreck were
placed under arrest by the local po-
lice Officials of the Baltimore & Ohio,
who we're unable to fix the responsible
ity for the disaster last night, will be-
gin an investigation at Baltimore to-

Scene Is Sickening.
The scene after the accident was
sickening. Bodies had been hurled on
every side and it was after midnight
before all the dead had been collected
and placed on special train to be
brought to this city. 1t was only a
few minutes after the collision until
nearly all the residents of Terra Gotta,
a sparsely settled village. had gather
ed at the scene of the disaster and be-
gun the work of removing the dead and
rescuing the injured from beneath the
masses of debris. The workers labor
ed under great difficulties for many Of
the injured were wedged beneath the
WrecKage, and numbers of them died
before they could be rescued. Many
acts of herofsm and self sacrifice that
were performed will never be known,
Fifty Physicians Present.
A detachment of forty policemen
were sent from Washington and nearly
fifty physicians from this city and SUBJ
urbs responded to the general call, but
fully three quarters of an hour had
elapsed before the doctors were on
hand to relieve the injured.
AS the injured were taken from I'M
der the debris and while the physi-
clans were giving them all the relief
possible, Catholic priests were admin
istering the last rites to the dying.
Women and children joined in the
work and everything possible was done
to relieve the sufferings of the injured

McGrath this afternoon" said A
Magtnson, II was sitting on the siz

McGrath, and had a four foot Stiltson
wrench on the three inch water pipe
which was about five feet above the

McGrath had disconnected and had
both hands on the iron handle of the
wrench.
Receives Electric Shock.
Il received an electric shock. The
current doubtless came from wire
above where Mr.. McGrath was work.
ing, passed through his body and en-
tered my body from the six inch pipe
on which McGrath was standing and
l was sitting. The shock l received
produced rapid contractions of the arm
muscles and cramped my fingers on
the wrench handle so that 1 had to
slide my hands off the end of the
wrench TO release my hold
Just as l succeeded in releasing my
hold on the wrench, McGrath fell from
the pipe. twenty feet away. He gave
one exclamation Of fear, just as he fell.
Was Afraid of Electricity.
Il know personally that McGrath
was very sensitive to electric shocks
and had told me that he was very
much afraid of 1t. do not know as
to the condition of the insulation of
the wires at this place, but I have re-
ceived several light but distinct shocks
while working around the plant, espe-
eially in cellars and damp places. Nc
Grath had plenty of hand holds avail
able, but | suppose when he got the
shock he was alarmed and excited and
let loose of everything and fell"
Electrician Doubts Shock Story.
w. 3. Dougherty, chief electrician Of
the Morrell packing house, was also
present. His testimony follows:
II examined the wires which were
in contact with the three-inch pipe on
which McGrath and his men were
working. found the insulation on the
wire where it came in contact with
the pipe at this point, intact. If any
one received shock, knowing the ar
rangement Of wires and pipes as do,
| am unable to account for his having
received such shock.
These wires carry a current of 100
volts and do not vary to any extent
The man at the rheostat regulates the
current to the required voltage, as
more or less lights are brought into
use. This wire was insulated with
rubber, and asbestos covered the three
inch pipe where the wires were in con-
tact with it. With the rubber coating
on the wire, no currens could have left
it, even If the asbestos coating or COW
ering had not been there"

BACK PAY FOR SECOND OREGON
Soldier Boys Seek What Is Due Them
for Fighting Spain.

Members Of the second Oregon regi-
ment have organized a movement tc
petition the government for hack pay
which they allege is due them for ser.

Of peace was signed between the
United States and Spain, says the Ore
gon Daily Journal. Regulations pro-
vi'!ing that volunteers shall not serve
longer than two months after a treaty
Of peace is signed, but the second was
after Aguinaldo, away from tele-
graphic communication, at the time
the treaty was signed.
At tn" last regular meeting of the
Scout Young camp. No. 2, Spanish
war Veterans, a resolution was unan-
imously adopted calling on the Ore
gon delegation in congress to use its
efforts to secure the money due the
soldiers. Letters were sent to the rep-
resentat!ves at Washington Yesterday.
In addition to the second regiment,
there are about IL western regiments
which will cooperate. with the Ore
gon regiment in its attempt to secure
back pay. The Second was the first
regiment in the Philippines and the
first to return, and for that reason
was selected to take the initiative in
asking the government for back pay.
Several Of these claims have been
paid to various other regiments
throughout the country.
