FREIGHT WRECK AT THE POINT

On Wednesday, the morning freight
train due at Somers Point about 8
o'clock, while drilling near Townsend's
wharf had occasion to cross over to the
up track. After the front wheels of a
large gondola car had passed, the switch
tongue sprang back, causing the car to
careen and block both tracks of the
Fast Shore Line. Two other cars were
twisted and made it necessary to call
for the wrecking car and crew from At
lantic City Meanwhile passengers were
compelled to exchange cars to get to
and from Ocean City. Though traffic
was resumed about l-30 pm. While
things were badly mixed up, none of the
train crew were injured.

Cherry, Ill. Nov. 21.-Hope aroused
yesterday by the rescue alive Of twenty
entOmbed men from the St Paul mine.
just one week after the starting of the
fatal fire, was deferred to-day, for not
one additional of the $40 men caught by
the fire was found.
The day was spent in removing bodies
from the mine and in burying the
bodies heretofore recovered. Tonight
the records showed that of the 80 men
left in the mine last Saturday night 1875
are still missing while 92 bodies have
been found and 20 men rescued alive
The fire that broke out afresh last
night was smothered to-day 10 such an
extent that explorers were able to work
in the mine. but black damp in one of
the galleries defied the men. as did cave
ins and other debris.
II was not even discovered whether
there are more men alive in the mine
galleries, although the explorers. urged
by the extreme condition in which the
twenty men saved yesterday were found.
work with strength and rapidity-
Although thirty-seven bodies were
found. they were not removed from the
mine because Of the morbid crowd at
the mine entrance. After the specta-
tors had been thinned by darkness ten
bodies found in another place were
taken out OF the mine. This was the
only visible result OF the days work.

night tonight To remove obstacles OBJ

anywhere. il is believed survivors may
await deliverance.
Early tonight rain began falling. and
for the first time since the fire began
there was no one except newspaper re-
porters lingering about the mine.
All day long the tolling of church bells
resounded in Cherry and Spring Valley.
Eighteen bodies were buried in a . 4
south OF Cherry. At the mine a dozen
victims in collins awaited removal. while
a score Of coffins were piled nearby for
others that might be brought 10 the sur
face.
Services for the dead were held out
side the churches, into which Coroner
Malm deemed IL inadvisable that the
bodies be taken. From the yet unified
graves in which the Roman Catholic
dead were placed the priests hurried 20

rites to any dying man that might be
brought up
II was declared to-day that the asser-
tion made yesterday that one hundred

passes now is looked on as making the
chance Of escape pitifully less. The fire
