The railroad ofllcera declare that the

who were on the scene at the tlitie
contend that perhaps thirty bodies will
eventually be recovered from the

The Death List.
The death list Is made up almost en

combination car and day coach, which
was nearest the engine and plunged
with It deeper Into the river than did
the sleeping couches that followed.

The accident was caused by the track
having been undermined by the two
'days unusually high tide. Within less
than an hour another fast train had
passed over the same place on the same
traek. That train was the New York
and l'.oston express, known to railroad
men us train No. 28. No one on that
train had noticed anything unusual
about the stubility of the trnek.
A gnng of several hundred men has
ben at work ever since the fatal acci
dent occurred raising the cars, repair
ing the track and searching for the
dead.
No riodles In the Locomotive.
The locomotive was finally located
yesterday afternoon. The diver who
went down, however, found no bodies
In or about it. It was therefore thought
probable that they had Moated away
and would not be recovered for some
time. The locomotive was found In
s about
about sixty feet of water. It was
thirty feet off shore, and about forty
yards to the south of the spot where
the accident occurred. It was Just to
the front of the second Wagner car
Which went into the river.
The right side of the cab, the engi
neer's side, was torn nway, and It is
probable that the bodies of the engi
neer, the fireman and young McKay
flouted out through the aperture. At
any rate, the diver, who stayed down
where the locomotive was found for
nearly half an hour, could after a thor
ough search find no trace of the bodies.
The locomotive is so badly wrecked
that it Is doubtful If any attempt will
be made to raise It.
W. D. Otis, general roadmaster of
the New York Central, after looking
over the situation, said: "Until the
engine has been raised and examined It
win oe impossiuie to ten eauuj w oui
caused the accident. If a broken axle
Is discovered It will be easy to account
for the manner In which the ground Is
torn up. If a broken axle should let
uuwn a rorty-ion engine koiok hi ho
rate of forty miles an hour with nine
heavy cars behind It the momentum
would be enough to plow up a hole as
large as this one. The track Is per
fectly straight, Is from three to four
yards from the river bank, and a train
of equal magnitude went over the
Identical track with fifty minutes pre
vious. Whatever occurred must have
occurred suddenly."
Mr. Otis was not Inclined to believe
that any one had tampered with tho
tracks by means of explosives. Never
theless, W. A. Humphrey, chief detec
tive of the Vanderbilt system, was on
the ground early with nine men. Their
main work seemed to be in assisting
the Wagner people to recover the val
uables from the sleepers. .But two of
the detectives were scourAig tl.a vicin
ity of the wreck for sonni clew as to
the use of explosives.
It Is said by experts that tho recent
high tides had weakened and Insidious
ly washed away tho ruudbed. Put
'hatever the cause may have been, the
disastrous result is known, though it
la feared not in full as yet.
Perhaps the most marvelous of till
things connected with this accident is
that so many escaped, and that only
twenty persons, go far as known, per
ished in the quiet waters of the Ilud
on, which for the time being were
transformed into a seething cauldron,
where shrieking men and women fierce
ly struggled In the darkness amid the
swishing fragments of cars, dying fires
of timber and hissing of the steam.
If there sre any more bodies In the
wreck or In the river they nre believed
to be In the day coach, which lies In
water up to Itt roof off King dock. The
diver who took six bodies out of this
crtr snld he could nd no more. Many
believe, however, that more bodies will
be found In this car, as passengers and
the crew claim at least twelve persons
perished In It.
The spot where the wreck occurred Is
one that has given the railroad author
ities a great deal of trouble and anxiety
In the past on account of tho tendency
of the made groaivd under the tracks
to wnrh out. That Is lust what It did
Sunday, and to this fact Is attributed
the terrlhle disaster.
President Chauncey M. Depew, of the
New York Central, Is anxious to ascer
tain the exact cause of the catastrophe,
and at bis request the State Hoard of
Railroad Commissioners will herein an
Inquiry In New York City to-day Into
all the circumstances connected with
the accident.
nilae nf the Accident.
Fresldrnt Depew, nt his office In the
Ornnd Central Station, received no In
telligence yesterday from the scene of
the wreck which Inclined him to niter
his opinion, formed on Sunday, that no
human foresight could have prevented
the Harrison's catastrophe. As to the
cause of wreck ho had no opinion. All
was conjecture. He referred again to the
conjecture. He referred again to tho
possibility that an axle of the engine
hail broken and the force of the Im
pact driven out the embankment.
Ashley W. Cole, chairman of tho
State r.ailroad Commission, thinks that
ater the engine Is raised a commission
of civil engineers may be able to deter
mine the cause of the accident. Hut h
ndinits that it may be Impossible to tell
whether a broken axle was in Itself tho
cause or a result of the accident.
Dr. IVpcw commented on the ndded
misfortune uttendant upon the loss of
the engineer's life, In that only the en
gineer. If any one, could tell what real
ly happened to his train. It hud been
thought that the bodies of tf. engineer
and firemnn nnd Stenogrnphrr McKay,
of General Superintendent Van Ktten's
office, would be found with the engine.
When the engine was locnted yest'-rday
and none of tho bodies waa found
with It, It became clear thai Ui men
must have Jumped or were hurled out
of the cub when the locomotive went
over. That It was found seventy-five
feet south of tho place where It left tho
track and fifty feet out In the river,
seemed to show somewhat the terrific
force which the train under way rep
resented, and was cited by Dr. Depew
an an Indication of what damage to the
embankment would have been dono If
an axle of the engine hud broken.

Hellnlre. Ohio, Oct. 27.-The Rev. Dr.
Archimedes Calvert, 70 years old, was
assassinated Mondny night near Ma
rietta, Ohio, on the Ohio lllver south of
here. Tho assassin escaped. Dr. Cal
vert was on his farm five miles north
of Marietta, hauling water to his
stock. The weather Is so dry and hot
that his well had given out. While
stooping over a spring dipping up

which he died soon afterward.
Dr Calvert until recently was pastor
of tho Mill Run M. K. Church, and his
sermons aroused his Hoc k to anger
They dismissed him, and this brought
on a quarrel and an attempt was made
to send him to an insane asylum, but
It was found that bo was as sane as
any of his accusers. He announced
that ho would be shot, and hia state

Threaten Klondike miners.
Washington, Oct. 2fi. It Is believed
here that In view of the great promi
nence Alaska has achieved owing to
the recent gold discoveries and the im
portance of definitely fixing the boun
dary line between United States terri
tory and that of the Dominion of Can
ada that tlfe Senate, when it itrsem
bles in December, will take early action
upon the treaty pending between Great
Hritaln and the United States for the
survey and marking of the Hint merld
lun. This treaty was sent to the Sen
ate almost two years ago.
The 141st meridian marks tho eastern
boundary of Alaska down to within
ten marine leagues of the southern
coast, whore the lino trends to the
southeast, keeping that distance from
the coast. Concerning the 141st mo
rldlan there Is. of course, no contro
versy between the United Stntes and
Great Hritaln, but no basis of settle
ment of the southeastern line hns yet
been reached by the two countries.
The original treaty as sent to the
Senate, it Is understood, was amended
or proposed to be amended, by Senator
Stewart so as to Include the settlement
of the dispute relating to the south
eastern line. If such an amendment
were Insisted upon by the Senate, an
appears not unlikely will be tho case.
It is not nt nil certain that Great I, lit
r.ln would at present agree to the modi
fication. The work of nd.iuHtlng the
i'.:,;ieiiltles between the two countries
rv.-an!irig the southen'tern line has r.ot
pio-rressed for two years. In 1K3 each
t.i.vernment appointed a commissioner
to survey the territory through which
t; hi line runs, und each made to:-.o-p;a;ihical
mnpi of t!ie country, whl.il
v.-.M-e submitted to the respective Gov
ernments Dec. SI, 1S95. These mm-l.,!i-sioticrs,
however, had r.o powrr to
p.-.'pose a sctt'i i-.n r.t: their work was
confined illi. tly to rurnlshlr.g ir.t'or
n atlon upon which subsequent nego
tiations could proceed. As no range of
rionntalns runs along the unit ns wna
p;lll.! 1 to l'.c the ias: when the
beiiiulary line between Kusslrt und
Canada was fixed, accordin;: to the
terms, the alternative proposition of a
line ten murine leagues from tho const
must mark the limit of United States
territory, but In the determination
many Intricate questions are Involved;
whether the coast i;r.o shall bo assumed
to follow the sinuosities of, the shore
or run from headland to headland; or
whether the line shall be considered to
run ten murine leagues to the Interior
from the outer shore of the islands
which form a sort of archipelago along
tho coast. The Government officials who
have studied the question are confident
that our title includes the Islands and
ten marine leagues of territory from
the const line with nil Its sinuosities.

Lady Managers of the World's Fair,
stood before Justice Martin yesterday
afternoon a wreck. She is a slave to
cocaine, and begged to be exiled from
the city.
In the choicest of language she pic
tured her pitiful condition, and the

"Not many years ago, as Your Honor

"I'lease do not hold me. Give mo
one more chance. In twenty-four
Hours I will leave Chicago forever. I
promise It upon my bended knees, as

Mrs. Mevers had the sympathy and
pity of the Court, but in her condition
