Depew Witnesses the Work--Causo ol the Accident n Mystery. Garrisons, N. Y., OcL 26. Twenty lives are known to havo been lost In Sunday's accident on the New York Central railroad and eighteen bodies havo been found. The body of an un known man was recovered today, as well as that of the fireman. The clay coath of the ill-fated train was raised today, and In it v. as found a victim not hitherto Included In the 11st of the dead. The engine was also brought to tho surface, and with it the body of Fireman John Q. Tompkins tightly wedged between two masses of Iron in front. For some hours this afternoon prior to the raising of the day car It was believed that several more bodies would be found. Shortly after 3 o'clock the large derrick brought up the day coach from the bottom of the rlv- where it had lain completely submcrd since the day of the wreck. Slowly the great mass rose out of the water and It was seen that but for the smashed In rear end a hole In the roof tho car was in tact nnd It seemed hardly possible that any large number of its occupants could have escaped. When the water had drained out of the car those watch ing the operation saw at one of the windows n human hand, and Just be yond tho feet sticking out Ironi "Under one of tho seat tops. The wreckers tore aside the debris and soon had the body out. No more bodies were found. Tho body removed, the seventeenth since the wreck and the twentieth known victim, was that of a man, thlity-five years of age, dark, with a dark short moustache. He was dressed in a gray woolen outing shirt, dark blue vest and trousers, a black neck tie and yellow socks. The .shoes had been removed, and so had the coat, nnd It was evident that the man had been sleeping In the seat when death came. "Whether he was killed by con cussion or whether he was drowned will never be known. In one of the pockets of the vest was a wallet con taining six ten dollar bills, a two dol lar bill and a casualty Insurance com pany ticket 3uch as Is sold at railroad stations. slglsl one of the men on the lighter saw clothes dangling from the front, and when the lanterns could Vie brought to bear It were found tho rags covered a human body. The body was wedged In front of the boiler, where the en gine number plate is, and it had to be dragged out. It was put on a train nt once and sent to Cold Springs to the coroner's olTlcc. Tompkins was dressed In his working suit. There Is somo speculation as to how Tompkins enmo to be on tho front of the machine. The engine must have gone many yards through the water at terrific speed, nnd the supposition was that tho en gineer and fireman were both to tho rear of tho engine. The theories to night are either that the first terrific lurch from the banks threw him for ward through tho cab window and that tho head of the engine caught him and carried him down Into tho water and mud, or else that he wn on the front of the engine attending to the head light or oiling when tho crash came. However it was, one thing Is certain, the ponderous machine drove him Into the mud so deeply that he was not vis ible to divers when they walked around It. The fact of the finding of tho lire man's body tonight in the position in which It lav has led to the belief that the engineer's body Is somewhere In the locality, probably under the en gine. If the raising of the trucks of tho engine and tender In the morning no not bring to light the bodies of En gineer Foyle and young McKay, dredges will be put to work In tho vicinity to see whether they are burled In the mud. All that remains as a re minder of the wreck here now, with the exception of the wrecking machin ery, are the broken up and burned cars on the river bank. The fact that the front trucks of the engine are yet in the river precludes any possibility until tomorrow of de termining whether a broken truck caused the nccident. Superintendent McCoy, of the New York Central, said tonight that the story told by a section boss to tho effect that he hnd left the road because of its unsafe condition was a false hood, and that the man who told It had been discharged for drunkenness. McCoy also denied the statement that tho roadbed at the scene of tho acci dent was known to be in bad shape. He said: "The entire road lias lately been looked over and repaired, and tho cause of the accident Is a mystery." President Depew and the three rail road commission went back to New York tonlcht and would give out no Interviews. MR. TELLER WRITES ABOUT SILVER Intimates That Democracy is Wedded to the White Alclal. THE FIGHT FOR SILVER STILL ON He Thinks the Ciold Democrats Will Go to tho Itepiiblicnn Party-Courageous I'rco .Men, Ho Snys, Will Continue the llattlo--Tlio Hoscy Result ol Victory. THE SCHROEDER CASE. Pottsvllle, Oct. 20. A letter bearing on political conditions generally, from Senator Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, has been received by William Wllhelm, representative or the Republican sil ver party In this county. Among other things Senator Teller nays: 1 have never snld I thought there was little hope for bimetallism. That Ik one of tho many falsehoods of the gold press. 1 havo said there Is no hope of it under the McKlnley administration, ami 1 am confident that nothing will be done for the plain people of the country during this administration. 1 have no Interest In the fight between Tammany and the Repub lican. I do not hope for George's elec tion, although it would plons-e me greatly If he could -be. The election of Tammany will not Indicate that the Democratic party of the country is going to abandon sliver. Tho Democratic party Is committed to silver and will continue on that line and the gold Democrats will go to the Repub lican party, and under the Influence of the gold Democrats it will degrade and de baso the party to such an extent as to make, tho old liberty loving Republicans leave it. I expect to see the Republican party in the hands of the gold Repub licans and tho gold Democrats and under the domination and control of the worst clement ever In American politics. I do not care what your Pennsylvania platform says about the per capita cir culation. Governor Hastings and all tho Republican leaders of your state under stand that that platform was made to set Into olllcii on, and I expect to see the In fluence of your state government and your senators and members of congress brought to bear on congress to retire the green backs and treasury notes and let tho banks and bankers of the country Issue whatever naner money they think tho country needs and that issue will then bo determined by the Interest of the banks and bankers and not the Interest of com merce or the people. ANOTHER LUETGERT GHOST STORY. MYSTERY OF '"MRS. K." It was made out for the usual sum of $2,500 In case of dtath, but, very curi ously, the name, or rather tho last names of both payer and beneficiary was missing. The card rend, so far as could be deciphered, "Ike R.," as the purchaser's name, nnd "Mrs. K." as the person to whom It was to be paid. The railroad officials are of the opinion that the man boarded the train at Roches ter, as the hour of the purchase of the Insurance card Is marked 8 o'clock and Rochester is the most probable station where, to catch the train, It could have been purchased at that hour. The body was taken to the coroner's office at Cold Spring. The contents of the car, other than the body, showed that the people had made a rush for their lives. There were women's shoes nnd hats, six men's hats, u woman's coat, eight grlpaacks of various kinds, two men's coats nnd many small garments. Another Interesting event of the dny was the raising of tho express car, ftom which It was alleged that a large sum of money had been lost by the dropping to the river bottom of a small safe. General Superintendent Van Valkenburgh, of the American Express company, was present when the car came up. When the car came to the surface It was seen that It was tho most badly damaged of any that had yet lieen taken out. One half of tho car had been entirely demolished nnd washed awny. As soon as possible the cui was searched by Inventory, nnd then Mr Van Valkenburgh gave out this statement: "None of the valuables In the car were lost. The big dynamitic proof safe was Intact and fastened to tho wall In Its proper pluce. The small safe, which It was thought might have dropped out of the broken car, we found In n corner, and the only thing of Value known to be missing Is a small package of Jewelry. Of course, all of tho merchandise In tho car has been destroyed, but we have luckily found moat of tho bills of lading, and settlement will b? easy. The wonder to me Is how Agent Miller ever got out of the car the way It was smashed up." THE ENGINE RAISED. The engine wns dragged out of the river tonight Just before dark, and President Chauncey M. Depew nnd the three railroad commissioners, with As sistaut Secretary McEnteo saw tho operation. Tho divers had located the tender early In tho afternoon nnd brought It up without its trucks. The engine was worked upon for several hours, tho divers llndlng it almost Im possible to get tho heavy chains under it, as It had gone so fur In tho mud, When shortly after 5 o'clock It came to the surface of the river. It was seen that the trucks were iuIshIiib and that t,h front of the boiler and tho guards were smashed Into un unrecognizable mans. An the great muchlnc came In A Kon of High Degree, Oiiieinlly Spcnking, Claims to Hnvo Seen the .Murdered Woman Alive. Chicago, Oct. 26. "Within the past twenty-four hours we have received Information that may make another trial of Luetgert unnecessary," said Attorney Albert Phalen today. "I will not reveal the name of my Informant nor the location of the city In which lie lives at present, but It is within two hundred miles of Chicago and the man Is an official of the place. He Is positive absolutely posltlve-nthat ho has seen Mrs. Luetgert within a few days. The Information together with his Identification Is startling In its di rectness. Rut we have been startled so many times by similar reports only to be eventually disappointed that I will not believe the report until I see the woman he says Is Mrs. Luetgert. Wo are Investigating the story of this Informant. We have learned that he 1$ a cool headed and reliablp person and his story may at last solve the mys tery. But I will believe the woman who he has Identified as Mrs. Luetgert Is she when Luetgert says so and her family corroborates him, nnd not be fore." It Ifi believed that the Information came from Davenport, Iown, 185 miles west of Chicago. Soon after Mrs. Luetgert's disappearance a report reached Chicago that she was seen In Davenport and also In Rock Island, 111., across tho river, but Investigation prov ed the report untrue. FIGHT STILL ON. The llsht for silver is still on find will be until we get a righteous monetary sys tem and we never will have until we get open mints for gold and silver at a ratio to be established by law. I know the difficulty to be encountered, but I am not discouraged. Wo will lose some of our support, but wherq we lose oner we -.7TTi ijaln many. The weakened will go to tho rear and shift about tho "flesh pots," but the bravo and cour ageous freo men will continue their flfiht until victory perches on their banners. You may ask how long this fight con tinues beforo victory Is ours. That will depend on how much the people will er. duro and' suffer beforo they claim their rights and compel obedience to their will. It will come in- time, without bayon ets and by the peaceful agencies of tho law. And then it will be found that the rich and the poor an of moderate means are all blessed by a monetary system that extends special privileges to r.-ne rim eqoal privileges to all. If wo can win this fight wo will put our country on a financial basis that will en sure reasonable prosperity and the sta bility of Boclcty and the liberty of the people. In my Judgment all this Is In volved in a proper solution of this ques tion. Civilization, morality and religion have much at stake in this controversy. If so, how can we fill? I am very respectfully, II. M. Teller. CZAR'S INSULT TO GERMANY. General Opinion That It Will lie Left to American Bishop. Washington, Oct. 2(1. In the absence of Papal Delegate Martlnelll, who is nt Rome. N. Y.. it cannot be learned that any official communication hns been received from the Vatican leav ing the Schroeder case entirely with tho American bishops, as indicated by dispatches from Rome. It Is tho gen eral opinion, however, among high ecclesiastics that this will be the ulti mate outcome. Among leading churchmen It is said that the real Issue Is as to what ex tent tho Amerlenn archbishops nnd bishops can administer affairs relating essentially to the American church. While there is no disposition to ques tion the tlnal authority of Rome, yet It Is felt to bo desirable to establish the usage that tho American prelates shall, in the best exercise of their Judg ment, have large discretionary author ity on subjects of discipline and administration. SILAS GRAY RELEASED. Served fourteen Venrs lorn Murder Committed by Aiiothor--A Strnngo Case ofCircumstnntinl Rvidoncc. Pittsburg. Oct. 26. Silas S. Gray, who has served fourteen years of a life sentence In the penitentiary for the supposed murder of Mrs. Mary Mc Cready at. Saltsburg, Westmoreland county, was today released from pris on on n pardon Issued by the governor because It had been proved that an other committed the deed. Tho ex prlsonor left for his home In Indiana county tonight. Gray'a e'nse wns a remarKable one. Mary McCready disappeared from her home Feb. 20, 1S77. Fourteen months afterwnrd some boys found u skull on the banks of a stream. It showed marks on each side of the skull. It was taken to the nearest coffhtry store and was the curiosity of the neigh borhood for weeks. Finally It was de cided that the skull waa that of Mary McCready and after an inquest Silas Gray was held for tho murder. The bodv was never found. Gray was con victed and sentenced to be hanged. His commutation came about In a most singular manner. George H.Welshons, a Pittsburg newspaper man, read in a local paper in Harrlsburg, a few days before Gray's sentence wns to take effect, the following: "It is all wrong to hang Silas Gray as Jack Petlss confessed to me In the Western penitentiary that he done the deed." Welshons located H'-ain Bowermas ter; tho signer of the article, near Shlppensburg and secured nn affidavit to the truth of'what her had written. Governor Pnttlsoii, on the strength of the document commutnd the sentence to life Imprisonment. Petlss and Bow ermaster were chums In prison and Petlss disclosed his secret. The com mutation ran so close a race with th death warrant that Gray was taken to the penitentiary on the very day that had been set for his execution.

HURRICANE ON THE ATLANTIC The List of Maritime Cas ualties Grows Larg er Each Day. Denver. Colo., Oct. 26. A heavy snowstorm Is raging in Colornilo, Ne braska and So.uth Dakota, and much damage has been done. Railway travel has been seriously llnpeded, where not wholly stopped, and the Colorado Tele phone company reports that 3,000 miles of its wires have been carried down. Aside from the tremendous Incon venience caused to the public and to private Interests, the storm of last night and today hns wrought an In trinsic damage In tho city of Denver and its suburbs that Is conservatively estimated to bo in excess of $100,000. It Is" to the wires and poles that the greatest harm has been clone. Prob ably 1,000 poles aro down In Denver alone and upward of 4,000 miles of wire.

While thrj northeast hurricane on the Middle At lantic coast has abated In fury tonight, sharp squalls arc still blowing around the Delaware capes and enormous tides nre reported all along the bay and river. The list of maritime casualties grows larger as further details of tho gale's havoc nro received. The Italian bark Francesco R, which sailed from this port Oct. 18 for Oporto, went to pieces ut Fourteen foot bank, eighty miles below the city. The vessel's master. Captain Callvano, und eleven of tho crew of twelve men readied this city tonight after a day and night of thrilling escapes from death. Tho twelfth man of tho crew. Marlon Cas tcnallo, seaman, refused to leave tha ship and in nil probability Is lost. Owing to light winds the Francesco, under Pilot Bennett, anchored about one week ago a short distance oft Fourteen foot bank. All went well un til Sunday.when the storm broke about her, Increasing in fury until about 10 o'clock at night. The sea was running high and tho wind had almost reached hurricane strength. The waves broke over the decks and shook her from stem to stern. Both anchors were out and as each sea broke they tightened and tugged. Finally, when near mid night, one ot the chains broke away and the vessel swung around and wag plt"hed and tossed about. Soon after the second chain went overboard, and then, at the mercv of the wind and tide, tho bark drifted for a short time, when she struck heavily on the shoals two miles off Fourteen foot bank. Sho listed, nnd as each succeeding wave washed clean over her sho was fast going to pieces and her cargo of caso and barrel oil was washed overboard. The danger of the position was fully realized, but It was decided to stand by the ship until daylight. When morning broke the wind had not decreased, and It seemed only a question of an hour or so before the vessel would break to pieces. During the night her masts went by the board and when It was time to leave her there was scarcely any of her cargo aboard. Thero were but two life boats. In an attempt to launch one of these it wns lost. The other was all that was left to carry the fourteen souls aboard to nn uncertain fate on the big sea that was running. Castennllo at the last moment refused to go saying all would be lost. Nothing remained but to leave him. and In the small boat, thir teen mariners put off. All hands worked either at the oars or In baling the boat out. After a pull of over seven miles the Delaware shore was sighted, and soon after the wet and exhausted survivors landed on the beach. They were from day light until nearly 2 o'clock coming from the Ill-fated vessel to land. Every care was given them by the residents along the coast nnd after a night's rest were taken to Mllford this after noon and started for this city at o'clock. The Francesco R was a 533 tons ves sel and was owned by her captain, who halls from Castolamere. Italy. Her cargo was shipped by Lawrence John son ft Co., of this city, and was vulued at .$11,317.
