The List of \Vreck Victimslncreased to Twenty—Coroner’s Inquest. New York, Oct. 27.—Another victim has been added to the list of dead in the great railroad disaster on the New York Central Railroad at Garrison’s. The body of a man’was taken from the day coach, in which'most of the deaths occurred. The coach was raised late yesterday afternoon. The body is that of a man apparent- ly 35 years of age. the rear of the coach, face down. The man was of dark complexion, about five feet ten inches in height. He had black curly hair and a black mustache. He was dressed in. an outing shirt of gray and a coat and vest of blue. The body was crushed, the end of the car in which he lay being badly wrecked. Under the bodywas found a lifesize crayon in a. gilt frame. The glass on the picture was not broken. The engine was taken out from the river, pilot first, at 3.15 o’clock yester- day afternoon. Among the spectators was Mr. Depew. He had ‘been in- formed of the hour when the engine would be raised, and he was there to inspect it. When the engine was out of the water the body of the fireman, John Q. Tompkins, was found wedged between two masses of iron in front. The body was disfigured, but not his face, which fact would seem to indicate that he had been forward on his engine, looking after the head- light or oiling. some part of the ma- chinery when the disaster came. The theory that he was in the cab with the engineer and was hurled through ' its window ferward is combated by the lack of any wound upon the upper, portions of his body or of hishead. ‘3 It is now certain that the number of those killed in the wreck .istwenty. The investigation to fix the responsi- bility for the Central Railroad horror will begin to- night at 7 o’.clock The Coroner says he will not leave a. stone unturned to fix the responsibil- ity, and if he and the jury find that the railroad company is to blame Dis-g trict Attorney James Bennett South- ard, of Putnam County, will' lay the matter before the Grand Jury and de- mand the indictment of the company’s officials, including the ‘presidentr Chauncey M. Depew. .. HAne'so 'sv His'F‘finénos. «Unknowlngly They Helped Their Com- panion to Commit Suicide. At Ballarat a. ruined gold miner once committed suicide in a. dramatic manner. During the time 'of the gold rush a certain deserted claim'was for gears held sacred, and . the , tools ytrewn about" the Windlass were left 0 rust away untouched. A party of rarsity men, old schoolfellows and of entle birth, had sunk their shaft there .nd worked without success until their noney was spent. One evening one of hem at= work‘at. the bottom .of the 1haft shouted, “Haul up, boys, the time .5 come at last.” They hauled up, and ‘ivhen it came to the top they found .heir comrade’s lifeless body hanging from the chain. He had detached the bucket, tied a noose about his ne:k, iastened the noose to the chain 3.1. was hanged by his dearest frie_.‘.:. The party had been much liked and respected by the other miners, who would readily have subscribed 1,1110 ounces of gold dust to give them a fresh start, but ere the dawn of the next day the whole party had disap- peared, leaving their claim in the same state as it lay at the time of the trag- edy.—Weekly Telegraph. How She Kept Him in Subj‘ectiun. While stopping one night at a farm-' house in Missouri a traveler was astonished to see his hostess walk up to her husband about every fifteen minutes and box his ears or give his In the merning the guest seeing the woman alone, asked an ex planation of her strange conduct, anc her‘ reply was: “You see, stranger, me and the old man has been 'fig‘htin’ for ten years to see who shall boss this ’ere ranch, and I have jest 'got him cowed, but if I should let up on him for a day he would turn on me again, and my work would all go for nothin‘.” . —New York Tribune. A Heap Dbad.
