Into th. Hudson ltlrftr Nearly a ftir
of NlHBgen Wer Drowned.
Onrrlnons, N. T., Oct. 21--The mo.t
ilfinRtrous wrk In the history of the
New York Central railroad occurred
lear this station on Sunday morning. '
Train No. 48, known a the Buffalo ex
press, wa wrecked a short distance be
low this station. With a deafenlns
crash and the hiss of escaping steam
the enKlne plunged down the embank
ment, dragging with It all but three of
the sleeping cars Into the Hudson river.
The engine was submerged In B0 feet
3f wate, with the engineer at the throt
tle and the fireman In the cab burled
beneath It." Twenty people lost their
lives, and several were badly Injured.
The following Is a list of the dead:

Th. Ill Fated Train.
The train was hauled by engine 872
and consisted of one American Express
car, one composite baggage and smok
ing car, one day coach and six sleepers.
Thla was the makeup of the train when
It left Poughkeepsle, the laflt stopping
place before the dimeter. At this time
there were In the smoker, In addition to
the baggageman, Herman Acker of
PeeksklH, who was In his compartment;
eight Chinamen en route from the Ca
nadian border to New York and a mid
dle aged man supposed to be Thomas
Retlly of 2860 Wisconsin avenue, St.
Louis. All of these excepting the bag
gagemaster perished. The day coach
contained 18 or 20 passengers, many of
whom were women and children. How
many of these escaped Is not definitely
known, but at least 12 were drowned or
killed In this car.
Behind the coach were the six sleep
ers the Glenalplne, with 18 passengers;
the Hermes, with 12 passengers: the Nl
obe, with 11; the Diana, with about IB;
Anita, nearly full, and the Racket Riv
er, with no passengers. The total cargo
of human freight consisted of some
thing over 100 people.
Conduotor Parish, who was In charge
of the train and who was making up
his report In one of the cars when the
crafth came, was rendered unconscious
by a blow on the head. When he re
covered, he was three seats ahead of
the one In which he had been sitting.
One of the few occupants of the coach
who escaped with his life was Frank
J. Degan, a wood finisher of 269 West
Thirty-fourth street. New York. His
left eye was cut with broken glass, and
his body was slightly bruised. Mr. De
gan makes this statement:
"With W. H. O. Myers of Tremont,
N. Y who was killed In the car from
which I escaped, 1 had been to Pough.
keepsle. We boarded the train at that
place and took a seat In the coach.
Three other people got on at Pough
keepsle. One was a woman, and the
two others were men, one of whom
looked like a railroad employee. Ai
near as I can Judge, there were 18 peo
ple In tho coach, most of them being
women and children, and nearly all
were asleep. Myers and I sat In the
middle of the car. When the crash
came, the car gave a great lurch and
rolled over on Its side. The watet
rushed In, and almost Instantly the
lights went out. I knew we were In the
river, and the car seemed to plow
through the water for some time aftet
It was submerged. The car tilted ovei
on one side, and I managed to reach the
fanlight overhead and cling to It until
helpcame.
Drowned Uk. B.ts In a Bnok.t.
"I heard people In the back part ol
the car groaning aa If they were pinned
fast. It was so dark that I could see
no one, and I think the passengers must
have been drowned like rats In a sunken
ship. After a while It seemed almost
an age I heard people on top of the
car, and an ax urashed through the
roof. The noise of that ax In the splin
tered timbers made the sweetest muslt
I ever heard In my life. Soon they had
a hole cut In the roof and pulled me
through It. A man and a boy (fathet
and son) were also rescued In the same
way, but I know of no other occupantt
of the coach escaping. The car at thtt
time was floating but fast tilling wltt
water, and we were put ashore In s
row boat. I am sure that my friend
Myers was drowned."
Of the dramatic horror of the situa
tion In the combination car when It left
the track and struck the water, per
haps the best account is had In th
story of Herman Acker of PeeksklH
the baggageman and mall sorter. Ack
er was suffering badly from shock wher
seen, but the scenes he graphically de
scribed. He said:
"John Shaw, the agent for the West-
cott Express company, and myself were
In the compartment, when suddenly
there was a terrible bump and then a
rush of water that forced us toward
the celling. The car seemed to turn
completely over and had tilled with wa
ter to about a foot from the top. When
we struck, the car whirled completely
around, the end which the Chinese oc
cupied being under water, while out
end was tilted up. We swam around
and got a ventilator open and, notir.g
the situation, took an ax from a tool
box which was afloat and smashed a
panel In the) end of the car. We crawled
throutfh the hole to the roof of the oar,
and a rowboat came out and took ui
whore." Acker has been a ralU'oadat
siany years and has escaped from three
lerlous accidents. Ills arm Is badly cut
and his body bruised. Bhaw escaped
Injury.
The first victim of the disaster found
rvas lying on the shore dying. He was
Dadly bruited about the head and body,
snd his right arm was cut off near the
ehoulder, the bleeding stump alone
ihowing. The member was not found.
The m&n was placed on a train and ta
ken to Peetukill, but died on the way.
liiji body vi s tha vf IL44lle sgrd

Reaoned From a Fln.tlng C.r.
F'lve men were rpsmipd from the top
f a floating car shortly after the acci
dent. They were put on a train and
taken to PeeksklH. about 10 miles down
the road. Ttiey were artmllted to the
Helping Hand hospital, whnre their
wounds were dressed. Of th five, three
were Chinamen, and none was fatally
Injured. The Americans were: John E.
Ryan of 24 Barrow street, Jersey City,
30 years old; badly lacerated hand,
thouider and knee: Clayee Morgan of
Aurora, N. Y aged 26, nerk in the of
fice of comptroller of the New York
Central railroad, broken Bhoukler. The
three Chinamen were suffering from
bad scalp wounls. Morgan escaped
from a floating car through a broken
panel and swam ashore. Though badly
hurt, he helped another passenger out.
W. 8. Iangford of Bayonne. N. J.,
was In one of the laM conches, which
remained on the track. He secured an
sx, and, chopping ou a panel cf one
of the partly submerged cars, he help
ed to rescue four people.
A. E. Bracken, conductor of the Wag
ner cars, was able to account for all of
his passengers excepting five, and he
was not sure that they were In the
wreck, as they might have escaped and
gone to New York without his knowl
edge. When a diver arrived from New
York, the first thing he did was to go
through the three submerged sleeping
cars. He reported that he found no
bodies, but said that one or more might
be under the berths, which were in
great confusion.
A passenger coach minus Its seats
was close at hand, and the body was
carried thither and deposited on the
floor. The man was about BB years of
Bge. He was dressed In cheap clothes
and his shoes were cheap ones. A O.
A. R. badge was fastened to the breast
of his vest. The busy rescuers did not
have time then to make any Inquiry as
to who he was, but simply tore off a
slip of paper, wrote "Body No. 1" and
pinned it on his coat and left him to
look for others. By the time they had
returned the derrick had drawn the car
to the bank, and the work of recover
ing the bodies of the other passengers
who had come to such an untimely end
was under way. The searchers were
only able to And eight Chinamen, and
they were also earrled to the morgue
car. They were laid In a row, num
bered and were ready for Identifica
tion. The derrick next pulled the day coach
to the shore, and the searching parties
were able to reach it Although It la
known that there were many more In
the coach, but six bodies were recov
ered, and two of these wer women.
General Manager Toucey gave out
the following statement as to the cause
of the disaster:
"The accident was caused by the bed
of the railroad being washed out in
some Inexplicable manner. In this un
dermined condition the track sank as
soon as the weight of the train was put
on It, and, the embankment giving way,
the train was, of course, precipitated
Into the river. Such a condition as this
we have never looked for.
"Trains have been running over this
spot for years and years without acci
dent or difficulty of any kind, and this
piece of track wan considered as good
as any section of the railroad. Not only
was the roadbed the hardest kind of an
embankment, but it was strengthened
by a retaining water wall of solid ma
sonry three feet thick."
CAUSED BY DYNAMITE.
Preiild.nl Depew's startling Theory of
the Wreck at Garrisons,
New York, Oct. 27. Only less startling
than the direful news of the disaster on
the New York Central road at Garrl
fnns was the statement made byChaun
cey M. Depew last night that the so
called accident was no accident at all,
but the direct result of a malignant
crime.
It was no landslide, said Dr. Depew
after he and his experts had examined
the locomotive, dragged by ponderous
derricks from Its bed of mud. It was
no sloughing of a bit of rotten road
twd that caused this terrible calamity.
It was the direct result of an explo
sion of dynamite, placed on the track
solely to send a train to destruction and
Its Inmates to sudden death.
Coming with the weight of President
Depew's name and reputation, this
statement will be received with respect
and most thoroughly Investigated.
"It Is very singular," Dr. Depew said,
"but I am Informed by one of our de
tectives that Chief Humphreys has al
ready received positive information
tending to make good my assertion,
bscked by the physical evidence, that
this break was made by dynamite. He
Is working hard on the information giv
en, and I am assured he Is on the road
to Information which will throw a great
deal of light on the subject. The road
has been blown up. That Is a certain
ty, and our detectives have definite and
positive clews to work on."
' In this connection It is worthy of re
membrance that the express car of the
ill fated train had 1400,000 worth of
money and jewels in Its safe. There was
a rumor that a large part of this treas
ure was gold from the Klondike on Its
way to the treasure vaults In this city.
If this be true, if is possible some west
ern desperadoes hud hatched out a plan
of robbery after wrecking the train.
