MISS ARMSTRONG BODY
POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED
Burial of Young Woman Killed
on New Haven Road to Be
at lion, N. Y.

Miss Marguerite B. Armstrong, the only
Washingtonian killed in the wreck on the
New Haven road yesterday. will be bur-
led at her late home, Ilion, n. Y. Her body
was positively identified late yesterday by
her brother, Alexander Armstrong. and r.
p Madeira, brother of Miss Madeira,
principal of the Madeira School for Girls.
where Miss Armstrong was employed as
secretary.
Miss Armstrong was returning with her
father from a two-month vacation in New
England. Her father. F. w. Armstrong,
manager of the Yost Typewriter Company
in Bridgeport, Conn. was seriously, per-
haps fatally, hurt and is now in hos
pital in New Haven.
Miss Armstrong, who was about 30
years old, had been a secretary to Miss
Madeira for about five years. She was
graduated from Bryn Mawr College In
1905. following which she taught schooi Ior
q few years in Cambridge. Mass.
Miss Marriott Reaches Washington.
Catherine Marriott, the thirteen-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Crittenden
Marriott, 1911 oath street northwest. who
was the only Washington girl returning
on the train from the camp at Belgrade,
Me-. arrived home last night. The camp
IL under the charge of Miss Hortense
Herson of the Friends School, this city,
and this fact gave rise to rumor yes
terday that a number of pupils OF this
school. who had been camping. were In
jured in the wreck. AS a matter OF fact.
young Miss Marriott was the only WASH
ington girl in the returning party, and
neither she nor any Of the nine other
members were injured.
She was met at Wilmington, Del, by
her father. an enploye of the geological
survey. Miss Marriott stated that she
had just gotten out of her berth to dress
when the shock came. At first, she said.
she did not realize anything was wrong.
as the jarring was no greater than that
usually attending the coupling of two
coaches.
May Have Saved Girls.
The fact that several coaches had
been added since the girls had boarded
the train. thus putting several cars be-
tween their coach and the point Of col
1ision, is believed to have saved the
girls. Several Washington girls who
were at the Maine camp are still there,
and do not anticipate returning for
several days.
