Seven Months With Fever. 'Wonderful Recovery of Health.

CORONER IS AT WORK Lcoking Into the Cause of the Awful New Jersey Wreck. FORTY-SEVEN DEAD BODIES. I All hut .Seven of the Victims Identified. Signal tender Arrested and Released on Bond—Engineer Greiner’s Awful Experience an Related by Himself —City Is In Deep Sorrow. Atlantic City. N. J., Aug. I.—Fortyseven dead and 48 injured. These are ■last night’s figures oh the appalling disaster on the Meadows. Os these 40 have been identified. Three of the unidentified were mon and three women. The odd one consists of an arm to which no body has been found. Os the injured it is more than probable that four or five will die. Many of the others are injured only superficially. The investigation into the cause of the collision and the fixing of the responsibility began yesterday in earnest. Coroner McLaughlin empannelled a jury. At 4 o’clock they again met for the purpose of visiting the scene of the wreck. This time the party was augmented by several lawyers, railroad and police officials and a group of newspaper men. Jury Examined the Crowd. The scene was very different from that of the night before. The relief gangs had done effective work. Both tracks, are now clear, the articles of clothing which belonged to victims hail been taken to police headquarters and ndftch of the wreckage had been removed. There is a very general impression that under the mass of debris at least six more/bodies lie. The jury made an exhaustive examination of the ground and devoted considerable nine to the inspection of the signals, .which still remain as they .were at the, moment of the accident. . George. F. Hauser, who has charge of th< tower and uh is now under arres:. has made "several stafem'enfs to the police. He told them he saw both trains coming when both were sufficiently tar away to admit of the full display of sig--nals* but as" the West Jersey was the nearest he gtivt the Reading the red light and signalled to the train, to come ahead. The Reading, however, never slacked speed, but fame on.-' Hauser Released on Bail. After viewing the ground, the coroner’s jury again seperated until this afternoon, when another meeting was held. All the dead so far found and identified were removed to their former homes yesterday afternoon. The first train used for this purpose left the . West Jersey station at 3:10 o’clock toy.. Bridgetoni It carried 23 bodies. The remaining corpse were sent on later trains. One woman, whose identification was established by her clothing, was decapitated in the’wreck and her head was found at a considerable distance from the belly. Last night Coroner McLauglih called Hauser before him and gave’ Mnfti hearing* It was purely perfunctory, howeywpind butlittle was said. Hauser 'refused to make any statement whatsoever at this time and was’ held in SSOO bail for a further' hearing. Bail was furnished and he was released. Many Tragic scenes' Enacted. The center of interest yesterday was the improvised tpergue and a strange spectacle for this city of proverbm.l mtietv, was thsLtontinual proct ssion of undertakers.'

From what I.could observ'b. the trains were racing. , “I looked up at the tower and saw that I had a clear track. The signals

are interchangeable and the fact that i the white was against me would throw j I the red against the Reading express. “As the express came thundering I I down upon the crossing 1 saw that a | I i collission was unavoidable. ‘My’God, i Horace,’ I said to my fireman,’ ‘He’s | i not going to stop.’ "Then I left my seat and jumped quickly onto the engine step. For an | instant I was undecided whether to ' | jump or not. Something prevented me I from jumping, however, and I sprang quickly into the cab again. The next ’, minute the collision came. 1 ‘‘Had I followed my first impulse and ■ I jumned I would have been crushed to , : death alongside the track. ‘‘The engine of the express struck the | excursion train about the middle of the . | second coach. Four of the cars left the , j track. It was in the second coach from i the engine that most of the people were killed. Tin y were simply going to , > death in their seats. Neither lor my ; . fireman was hurt. | “The engine of the express was liter- i ally smashed to pieces. When the crash . came my engine was severed from the i rest of the train and the locomotive ran I down the track for several hundred feet before it was brought to a standstill. When I got back to the scene the sight was appalling. Dead bodies were strewn about everywhere and the cries of the dying and injured filled the air. It was a heartrending spectacle.” FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES. Proceedings of the International Council Held at Eufaula, I. T. EvfaULa, I. T., Aug. I.—The international council of the Five Civilized Tribes adjourned late Thursday night i after a two days' heated session. -The Cherokees and a portion of every other delegation, save the Seminoles, were for some kind of negotiation with the Dawes commission, and a resolution was .finally reported and passed recommend- | iug that the governors of the tribes eon- I vene their councils in exta sessions for ! the purpose of taking action looking to that <ll I. A resolution vVas alstf passed recommending that the Five Tribes send delegates to eastern and southern legislatures! to ask that memorials be passed instructing members of congress to refrain from passing legislation tending to a breaking up of Indian Territory tribal relations, and, that the tribes be ■given tiimi.to set tie their own affairs. - Th’-’v’wfis a s’.'iitiiii'-iit among the dele- : _ g:i tes~f(>f“ statehood, ! and such a scheme was proposed, but i was looked upon by the majority of the delegates as impossible. It appears to be the general impression that the Clugok ’es will treat with the Dawes commission, ami that rhe, other tribes im.y l eluctaiitß’ follow their example. An Indian bureau of information Was also recommended for the purpose of dispensing in the south and east literature setting forth the true condition in the territory and for the refutation of false 'and damaging reports now current. While many delegates from nearly all the tribes were for a treaty from mere necessity, they all said, the masses of their people were opposed to any change whatever* WESTERN. RATES.

SWEEPING VICTORY Captain Johnston Carries Nearly Every County In Alabama. LARGE GAINS ARE REPORTED. Over Forty Thitusnnd Majority Claimed by the Democrats — Fifteen Counties Carried That Gave Populist .Mnjorlties Two Years Ago--Both Urauchea ol Legislature Democratic. Birmingham, Ala.. Aug. s.—Further returns received up to late lust night from Monday’s election in this state confirm the first reports of a complete i victory with surprisingly large gains. The count in the big counties has been ' slow, especially in the cities, but official and estimated returns, the latter based on reports received from a majority of the boxes in the counties reporting, show that Johnston and the Democrats have certainly carried 45 out of 66 counties. Goodwyn (Pop.) has 15 counties. Six others have not been heard from or are too close to be figured upon. Os the last named, Johnston ! probably has four and Goodwyn two. Johnston’s majorities officially and esti- | mated by counties are as follows: I Autauga 589, Baldwir.3oo. Barbour 1.882, Blount 427, Bullock 2,721. Butler 200, Calhoun 500, Chambers 700, Clarke 800. Clay 200, Coffee 100, Cullman 100, Dale 100, Dallas 3,500, Dekalb 170, Escambia 700, Etowah 200 Greene 1,522, Hale 2,’kiO, Henry 500, Jackson 700, Jefferson I.jJOO.

Total Johnston’s majority 4.’.I 1 ;' The !<>'..owing tire Goodwyn’s majorities: Bibb ?->, Cherokee:joo, Choctaw 600, Cleburne 74, Crenshaw 320, Elmore o’s, Fayette 303, Fratiklin 400, Geneva 401, Law- ce 700, Mar-hall 51’1, Shelby 4<”>. $ . Cti’.iv 1.000, Tai'iadt-ga 100. Total, tio.-d---wyn's majority 7.108, leaving Johnson's net majority to date at 42,753. Toe six counties hot included above 1 : i • Covington, Coosa, Colbert, Conecuh. Pike and Tallapoosa. Os these Goodwyn will probably get Coosa ano Talliqioi.sa by very small nuijJirities. while th 1 others will likely go fi r Johnston. It is believed the complete returns will show a majority of not less than 45,1 W for Johnston and possibly 50,1)1’0. As compared to the election in 1894, the I)-mi erats have carried certain 15 counties that gave Populist majority two years ago. The Tlcmoeratic majority :in them ranges from 100 to 1,000 each and in many places Populist majorities are reversed-. As to tile legislature thi Democrats have gained, if is figured, 14 members of the house, giving them 78 out of 100. , They have elected 11 out of 17 senators which, with 13 holdover members, gives them 24 out of 38 members of that body, or about three-fourths of the entire legislature. ‘DEMONSTRATIONS IN SPAIN.
