MORE BODIES YET IN THE RIVER
The List Is Now l p to Twenty-three.
It I Thought That the Victim
Were Cremated AliveExamina-
tioa of the Ilridno Hevegds a Dc
liberate IMot to Wreck the Train.
TlrmlnKham, Ala., Dec. 8. Few fur
ther details are obtainable than those
(riven In yesterday's dispatches as to
the terrible railroad wreck at the Caha
ha river brldue yesterday. The rail
road otliclals have a list of twenty-one
dead, that number of bodies having
been taken out of the river, but the
belief gains ground that there are
more dead bodies yet In the river, or
else some were entirely constimd by
fire. It seems Impossible to ascertain
how many uassngcrs were on the train.
Nearly all had round-trip holiday
tickets and had been away from home
to spend Clirlstmus.
It develops this mornintr that a man
named Llbbs and his wife ot on the
train at Uulners, six miles this side of
the wreck. They are missing, and It Is
probable that they were burned in the
wreck. This runs the list of known
dead up to 2S. Others to the number of
six who were supposed to be missing
have been accounted for.
LIST OP THE DEAD.
The corrected list of dead and mlss-
lncr now stands as follows:
Itullruud employes Frank White, en
Rlneer; Juines Howling, express mes
senger; Ovuw Carney, HuKliiun; A. P.
Comiell, conductor; Tom Sstreeter, por
ter; ll. Webb, bridge watchman.
Passengers Itruce Phillips, L. W.
Martin, Mrs. Henry Hanbury and two
children. Kev. It. II. Mount. Miss Ada
Towers. D. J. Powers, Mrs. Kminu low
era and two children, Mrs. K. Little,
James (lordlier, mother and sister, Mr.
Llbbs and wife.
The Injured are: Henry Hanbury,
will probably die; Andrew Bryson, will
die; E. H. Eckels, Will Gurdn. r.
Miss Hoth, Sam Stuart, fireman;
child of Mrs. Powell and Mrs. Walker,
ell slightly hurt.
The only persons on the train to es
cape unhurt were three little children
of Mrs. Walker. It is thought that fully
half the dead were cremated alive.
A further examlnutlon of the bridge
shows that the spikes on one side had
been drawn for a rail length, which In
dicates that a rail was moved out of
place to deliberately wreck the train.
W. 1). Koss, a bridge carpenter, who
was hurt In a collision at the scene of
the disaster between two relief trains
died today. Another bridge carpenter,
named Kstes had both his legs cut off
In the second wreck and will die.
SISTERS' HEROISM SAVES LIVES.
A Church Panic. Calmed by Several
lirnvn Worn n.
Paltlmore, Md., Dee. 28. The pres
ence of mind of several Catholic sisters
of the Order of St. Francis tonight
prevented loss of life at a Christinas
entertainment In the hall of the Holy
Itosnry church. The hall Is on the
third lloor of the school building. Over
SOO persons, mostly Polish women and
their children, were crowded into It.
On the stage fifty or more children
were taking part in the tableaux. Illus
trating scenes in the life of Christ.
One of the little girls thoughtlessly
pushed a gauze curtain too close to a
gas Jet. In an instant a ilame shot up
wards and across the top of the stage.
The children screamed. A panic fol
lowed, and death would have resulted
but for the sisters, who, stationing
themselves at the narrow exits, held
back the children and excited women
and guided them slowly out the door
ways. Some of the frightened people
rushed for the windows, but the sis
ters again prevented any rash attempt
at escape.
The lire was quickly subdued and
many of the people left the building by
means of the lire escupes. Several wo
men fainted from fright, but no one
was hurt.
ASTOR A SUBJECT OP THE QUEEN.
The Millionaire Said to Hare Fore
sworn His .Native Land.
Xew York, Dec. 28. A letter was re
ceived here yesterday from London to
the effect that William Waldorf Astor
has foresworn his native country,
w here he made his millions, or, rather,
where his millions were made for him,
and has taken the oath of allegiance
to the queen.
People who know Mr. Astor has
given expression to the Idea that Amer
ica Is not a fit place for a gentleman
and of his family troubles. Mr. Astor
Is but 48 years old, and gossips have
made him an aspirant to the hand of
one of the Prince of Wales' daughters.
HORRORS OF THE WATERSPOUT.
Portugese Consulate Gives Details of
the Disaster of November 2.
Boston. Dec. 28. The Portuguese
consulate in this city has received a
petition from the Island of St. Michael,
In the Azores, signed by the Portuguese
governor and nineteen of the principal
citizens, asking aid for the sufferers
by the bursting of a giant waterspout
November 2 over the city of Povoacao.
Opposite Wyoming House.
The petition states that there is much
suffering for food, clothing and shelter,
and gives some particulars of the cal
amity than which, it states, none has
been more devastating in the history of
the island.
Tons of water poured down upon the
city, which was of about 25.000 Inhabit
ants, mounting above the roofs of the
houses, ripping up the streets and car
rying destruction everywhere in its
path. The torrent reached down the
slopes to the sea, tearing a wide chan
nel through nine miles of country and
carrying with it the homes of thou
sands of people. The Hood also de
stroyed the town of Iilberlit Quente, of
3,000 population and several outlying
parishes. All along the coast the fish
ermen lost their boats and the shore
was littered with the corpses o those
who perished In the Hoods.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Elbert Tiffany Receives n Hullet That
Was Intended lor a Target.
Special to the Sc-ranton Tribune.
Lindaville, Dec. 28. About 3 . p. m.
Christmas day two boys, sons of O. L.
Tiffany, and a boy from Franklin
Forks by the name of Snow, were prac
ticing at target shooting in the door
yard. The target was a mark of some
kind on a small out-building, with
open cracks between the boards.
Elbert Tiffany was inside the building
when one of the shots was tired, und
the ball from a 22-callbre rille easily
found Its way through one of the open
cracks, and without any apparent ob
struction struck Elbert near the spine,
Just ubove the hips and was driven so
far Into his body thut Dr. Wheeler, of
Nicholson, who probed for the ball,
was unable to reach it with any In
strument then In his possession.
The fuct that the ball had passed the
spine before It entered the llesh and
that Its course was uway from the
spine, and the further fact that It en
tered the body below the vital organs
are favorable to Elbert's recovery. The
doctor says that two Inches higher
would have been futal.
Elbert Is not suffering much pain and
hopes for u speedy recovery are enter
tained. BIG MAIL TtOBBERY.
No Arrests Have Been Made By Inspec
tors Investigating tbe Affair
of Last Tuesday Evening.
New York, Deo. 28. No arrests have
yet been made by the postolllce Inspec
tors having in charge the Investigation
of the muil robbery committed on Tues
day night. The mail stolen came from
the west and was for delivery In this
city.
It Is suspected, although the postof
fice Inspectors are reticent about their
discoveries, that the thieves are postof
flee employes who operated In Jersey
City or Hoboken.
That a robbery had been committed
was first made known to the postofllce
authorities on Wednesduy, when a wo
man delivered nt the postolllce two
bags of mail matter which, she said,
she had found In the bay near Coney
Island.
The letters were badly soaked and
nearly all of them had been opened.
It Is believed that the thieves secured
booty amounting to thousands of dol
lars. .GRANT MONUMENT.
Presidentelect McKinley Will He
Present at I'nveiling Exercises.
New York. Dec. 28. At the suggestion
of General Horace Porter, president of
the Grant Monument association, the
board of estimate today appropriated
the sum of SjU.000 to pay the vxpenses
attending the dedication of the lirant
monument on April 27 next. The mon
ey Is to be expended under, the direc
tion of the mayor and board of esti
mate. In his statement to the board Oener
al Porter said that the ceremonies
should be under the direction of the
city authorities, as the dedication of
the monument Is to be distinctly a city
affair. Oeneral Porter said that the
total cost of the monument will be
J600.0O0, the largest sum ever raised by
popular subscription for such a pur
pose. Al! thU money except $18,000 he
raid, had been contributed by citizens
of New York city In amounts ranging
froni one cent to five thousand dollars.
He further stated that President-elect
MeKlr ley had agreed to be present at
the ceremony and that all the members
of tho cabinet, the diplomatic corps.
t'i legislature, governors of states, and
mayors of all large cities ought to be
Invited. The government would Invite
al' nations maintaining fleets In the At
lantic to participate in a naval parade,
PAYING TELLER SKIPS.
Leander Hoscli, of the Suspended
Hank of Minnesota Missing.
Chicago, Dec. 28. A special from St.
Paul, Minn., says:
Leander Hosch, paying teller of the
of the suspended bank of Minnesota,
has disappeared. When the receiver
took charge of the bank he was in
formed than an Item In the accounts of
the paying teller could not be satisfac
tory understood without a personal ex
planation from Mr. Hosch. The dis
crepancy amounts to between $1,000 and
?2.000. and is so small that the assets
of the bank are not affected. The sum,
Indeed, is so trivial that It Is believed
Mr. Bosch could readily replace It from
his personal means should the omission
be not exp.amed by a rechccklng of the
hocks.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Itevicw.
New York, Dec. 28. Stocks during
the early hour of business were quiet
uid heavy. Lower quotations from
London and the bank troubles at the
west bring the disturbing factors. The
pressure to sell was not pronounced
by any means. Uuiiington und Quincy
scored the heaviest loss In the railway
lint und fell 24 per cent. Consolidated
Gas was the feature of the Industrial
group and broke 4'4 Ier cent, with a
1 Ue rall to 1:19. Sugar was tlrm con
sidcrlng ali the talk about a war with
Arbin kles. The losses In the general
list were unimportant. In the last hour
of iradinf the market developed firm
ness on (Hurts to cover short sales
made earlier in the day. The rally In
prices tanged from VA to I '4 per cent.
Speculation closed quiet and firm. Net
changes show gains of U'uTj per cent.
In lie;. ding, Manhattan and sugar, and
losses of about as much In the usually
active stocks. Uuiiington was an ex
ception, losing 1 on the day. Total
sales were only lOl.OUO shares.
