Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 29. As the details of Sunday's terrible wreck on the electric line of the West Jersey & Seashore railroad developed, the disaster became more appalling. The total number of persons whose lives were snuffed out almost Instantly is probably 66, with-nearly a . score injured, several of whom, it is thought, will die. Fifty-eight bodies already have been brought to the surface. There were 91 persons on the train, 15 passes and 76 fares. At police headquarters it was stated the effects found on the bodies were not sufficient to permit identification of more than six and that identification will have to be made by personal Inspection. - The police officials, worn out by their vigil, went to. their homes parly in the day. The trains brought many persons from Philadelphia and other points, who were anxious to learn if a dear one had been swept to death by the awful disaster. The wreck occurred at the drawbridge which spans the Thoroughfare, a . small .waterway about one mile outside of this city, just on the western edge of The Meadows, and was directly due to the draw failing to work properly. The fishing schooner Sinbad, which was recently wrecked off Winter Quarter shoals light, a short distance from the Delaware breakwater, had just passed through the drawbridge. As the schooner was entering the draw the electric train hove in sight and started across The Meadowffrom the direction of Pleasantville. Before the draw had swung into position the three cars, which were running at a high rate of speed, dashed on to the trestle. With a lurch the forward car left the rails and dashed Into the guard rail, the other two cars following. At the point where the cars jumped the track the top of the trestle Is nearly 20 feet high. The first two cars were Instantly submerged, but the third car of the train caught on an abutment and remained suspended, It wras from this car that nearly alt the injured escaped. The news of the disaster was quickly telegraphed to this city and in less than an hour the work of rescue had bean begun. At the time of the accident the tide, which rises about 10 feet, was running in, and the work of the divers was necessarily slow. It was not until several hours later that the divers were able to make any progress. Then the awful evidences of the disaster became more apparent. When the two. cars struck the bottom of the waterway they stood almost on end, and the first man to descend reported that the vicims were packed in the lower ends of the submerged cars so tightly that it was difficult to move them. One by one the bodies were carried to a waiting trafn and laid side by side, later to be borne to this city and placed In the Empire theater, which was pressed into service as a temporary morgue. Thousands of persons quickly gathered at the scene where the cars disappeared but they
were unable to .render any aid and could only await the arrival of the divers. At. the morgue the scenes were pathetic. Persons who had friends on the ill-fated cars crowded about the door and with difficulty were restrained from forcing their way Into the building. One of the most heartrending incidents was furnished by Frederick Benckert, who lost his entire family, a wife and two children. Benckert was not informed of the accident until too late to catch a train and he hurried here in an automobile. When he saw the bodies of his wife and two little boys, lying side by side on the floor, Benckert collapsed and had to be carried from the building. Walter Scott, the motorman, was
killed because of his anxiety to spend i a part of the day with his wife here, j
It was Scott's custom to run only as far as Millville, but he swapped runs with another motorman, and his death was the result. An attempt was made to cut the first and second cars asunder, and lift a single car out of the water, and the cables broke at the first attempt and on the second the already twisted car buckled. The attempts to lift the coaches were then temporarily abandoned and all efforts were directed toward getting the bodies of the victims out of the wreckage. When it Is certain that no more bodies are in the tangled and twisted coaches they will be broken up and pulled ashore
Ameng those who are mournine the
of relatives I3 George Prewitt,
er of the Hotel Walton, Phila-
Iphia, whose sister-in-law, Mrs.
alter P. Bradish of Eastoort. Me.
was drewned. Mrs. Bradish was re
turning from a trip to Philadelphia when the accident occurred. General Manager W. W. Atterbury f the Pennsylvania railroad, said: "I do not believe that Stewart, the bridge tender, said anything like what has been attributed to him regarding the 'jacking up or alignment of the rails. It is not a fact that when the draw is swung the rails have to be resetThis drawbridge is of the latest improved type. We have nothing to conoeal. We don"tv.knawwhat caused
the wreck and I don't think we can know until we have seen the trucks of the derailed cars When asked the direct question as to his Idea of the cause of the wreck, Mr. Atterbury said: "Perhaps a broken flange or some part of the cars gear broke way." Emanuel Bernard of New York, and an actor and a brother of Sam Bernard, the comedian, was among the killed in the accident. Bernard was on his way to Viis city to play a week's engagement in vaudeville at Young's pir. Mayor Stoy said that an investigation will be conducted and wherever the blame belongs it will be fixed. "Coroner Gaskell. said the mayor, "will Impanel a jury at once, but neither of us believe that it will be possible to hold an inquest until the latter part of the week." Among the most pathetic cases was that of Samuel McElroy of Philadelphia, who, after a sleepless night, found his family wiped out by the disaster, his wife and five-year-old daughter lying near. In the morgue, and his three-year-old boy missing. When the of3cials making record of the identification, asked for his address, the broken
hearted man replied: "It was 2029 ' Green street, but I shall never return j
there God only knows where I shall go. Miss Martha Mersch of this city, and Arnold A. Tedesco, a New York traveling man, a friend of the Ilersch family, are believed to be among the dead. Together the couplS started for Atlantic City and as they did not return as planned nor has anything been heard of them since. Prosecutor Albertson, Coroner Gaskill, Captain Woodruff and Chief of Police Maxwell superintended the removal of the bodies from the scene of the disaster. As each body was brought to the surface it was searched and effects were taken in charge by Captain Woodruff. The valuables were placed in packages, which were numbered and a number corresponding was placed on the body. Killed at Atlantic City. Eastport, Me., Oct. 29. Two Eastport women lost their lives in the wreck at Atlantic City. They were Mrs Cora Bibber Brown, wife of Charles K. Brown, a photographer, and Mrs. Walter F. Bradish. Mrs. Brown was about 44 years old and was married about two years ago. She was the only daughter of the late Charles W. Bibber, a prominent dry goods dealer. Mrs. Bradish was about 55 years old and besides a husband.
who is a baker, leaves six sons.
