cut of, but there was nothing to indicate
by what agency. He said pieces of
broken wheel of the first motor were
found at a point far beyond where the rail
had been ripped up. Whether the rail or
the wheel was the first to give way he had
no means OF knowing. but it appeared the

Statement from Railroad.
In an official statement today. J. c. Ham
mond, press representative OF the New
York Central railroad. said the investiga-
ton made by the railroad officials had not
disclosed the cause of the accident One
Of the small wheels on the left side OF the
front leading motor was found TO be broken
at the point OF derailment. as pieces OF
the wheel were picked up at that point.
In almost the same spot. he said, a rail
was broken but Il was impossible to say
which Of these caused the wreck or which
resulted from it. He said that the rail
used was of standard weight, 100 pounds
to the yard the track was of best con-
struction and in first-class condition, and
that the electric motors had been thor
oughly tested on an experimental track
before they were put into service. He
said the train was six minutes late and
that the reports OF the trainmen and Of
ficials who had Investigated showed that
1t was going from forty-five to fifty miles
an hour, which, he declares. was not ex-
cessive.
1t had been intended to run all the
suburban trains the electric system,
but because of the wreck the further in
stallation of electric motive power on the
Harlem division was postponed until to-
morrow, when It will be put into effect,
There were many exaggerated stories OF
the wreck in circulation. One was to the
effect that many of those killed had been
electrocuted by the third rail. This was
absolutely denied by the coroner as well
as by the police, who declare that none
of the bodies was burned. The wrecked
cars of the Brewster train were put on
trucks and hauled to the Bronx station
today.
The coroner will commence the inquest
and investigation tomorrow One of the
sad stories of the wreck is that surround
ing the death of Miss Elsie d. Warren,
a trained nurse who lived in this city.
Miss Warren was adopted several years ago
by a family in Greenwich village, Mass,
after having been rescued from fire and
left parentless.
II has been learned that the railroad
company has detectives at work, on a
theory that wreckers had tempered with
the track. Hnt
