Every diver find boat- /aien for mtlee along the coaet wa* aid. i„, the railroad men In rescuing the , Jdlej of tho dead. The whole of Atlantic City was In an I awful panic all night. Almost every citizen was racked with fear that some relative was among the dead. WRECKED TRAIN FILLED WITH PLEASURE SEEKERS. The wrecked train was tilled with pleasure seekers,- bound for an even- l„tr of enjoyment at Atlantic Clt.v. Most of them were from Philadelphia and Camden. The train left Camden at'1 p. m. The road ts owned by the" Penn- sylvanla railroad, and only a month a io was converted from' a steam to an electric line. ” •. • The train ran at the rate of 6? miles in hour. It was In charge of Motor- man Walter Scott, of Camden, whose body Is now at the bottom of the it ream pinned In hls car. The three cars contained more than jno passengers. The train reached tho drawbridge over the Thoroughfare at t !5 t>. m. This trestle Is about a.mile long and the drawbridge Is In the cen ter. As the train struck the trestle the passengers were beginning to get ready to disembari. at Atlantic City. Some tvere getting out' of their seats, others were reaching for the packages In the racks near the doors. Men were helping their wives put on their Jackets. Nearly all were laughing or merry making. CARS PLUNGE OVER BRIDGE INTO THE WATER BELOW. Then came a Jar that threw almost every person out of their seat.- As the cars crashed over the bridge every per son turned pale In-terror and there was silence, a stupor of : fear before minds were able to grasp the situation. The cars plunged over the bridge fifteen feet below and a cry of terror went up. Then «the terrible lighting struggle against death began. The couplings of the cars held and' the third car was dragged over the edge. It hung suspended for an Inter val. long enough to permit a score of persona to get out. while a yell of fear and agony came from those In the ca'i CLOSED DOORS OF CAR8 MAKE TRAP OF DEATH. The cars were of the same pattern as the subway cars In New York, huge steel affairs, with n vestibule and dou ble doors at ehch end. The doors wers closed and held by a patent arrangement that mads aach car a death trap. The (list coach had ahot clean ovef tbe bridge and struck the water with Its wheels pinning. The second car was almost perpendicular for a few seconds, than the rear end slipped from the bridge, the car sinking flat In the mud. like the flrsL The coupling of the third car was broken and It turned almost at right angles to the bridge be fore It feH. It was the decreasing weight, as tlte passengers fought their way through the rear door that Anally ssnt the coach In the water. HEROISM OF A BRAKEMAN - SAVES NUMBER OF LIVES. A great beam pierced the floor and held the coach on Its point. That all In the third coach did not die was due to the heroism and foresight of Wil liam Wood, a brakeman. After the train jumped the tracks, and while It was running along the trestle floor, he rushed to the rear of the laat car and opened the door. He believed that the train would go Into the water, and. he opened the only avenue of escape. Wood stood guard at the door until the coach Anally fell. He aaflsted sev- eral persona to escape through the door, and ns he wonted he kept call ing for every one to remain cool, as the least excitement or panic might re sult In the greatest loss of life. Wood was rescued when being car ried away by the tide. He was uncon scious when picked up, but was resus citated by a physician. PAS8ENGER WHO ESCAPED PRAISES BRAVE BRAKEMAN. New York. Oct. 29.—H. E. Joseph, DIVER SEES HORRIBLE SIGHT WHEN HE LOOKS INIO CAR Atlantic City, N. j.. o c t. 2».—Half an hour after the wreck, the story of the Picture of whnt. was beneath the wa ter was brought up by John A. Cooney, an Atlantic City contractor. Cooney, an old-time diver, volunteered to go down and fasten derrick chains under one of the cars... An. old diving suit wag procured. There was no air pump, so an old beer pump was brought Into service from n neighboring brewery. 'T could only stay under water for a few minutes," said Cooney, "for my Im provised pump would not work. I found the first two csrs had been wrenched .apart from the other and were sunk In water and mud at an an gle of about 45 degrees. The forward- ends-had been driven fast In to the mud and the two car* were sort rolled on their stddd and were about feet apart. , - , , * "I raised myself tipd peered through a window of tile l -u»«nl -'ir.

II had a .horrible gash - dear across the forehead. 1 saw the-body of a. man wedged tightly In one -of the package racks. Bodies were piled up In a great heap In the forward end of the car, At the top of the cor I saw- tile form of a woman.' A pair of dintnotid earrings glistened In her ears. I never saw such a horrible spectacle In my life-. "The car seemed pretty much intact, and the people must have tall j bee: plunged Into a heap at the forward en by the. shockJ’ MOTHER OF MORI OR MAN HAD PREMONITION Of WRECK Atlantic City, N. J, Oct. 29.—Walter Scott, the motorman of the wrecked train, had a quarrel with hls mother and father In Camden before he started on the fatal trip, because they had a premonition that something was going' ous without the weight of a locortiottv* to happen and tried to persuade him not to go. Mr*. Scott put her arm* around her son's neck, and, clinging .to him, begge<f him not to go out on the tfaln, but the young man brushed her aside. Scott was an experienced motorman and had been working on the new third rail electric line ever since It replaced the West Jersey steam trains. The lightness Sf hls train did not terrify him In I the. least. -Passing around curves, the three steel cars leaped and swayed at a'speed sometimes reaching 61) miles an hour.-- It was, according to railroad operatlvea.’ this lightness which made.'lbe- electric train danger- to hold them steady on the'rails. Scott's father, Avho In an old-locomo tive fireman," insisted that the trains run over the.electric railway were not safe,, and'.that they were sure ;.to come to grief. Other rallrbad men acquaint ed with the conditions on the .Pennsyl vania's new electric line were not grently surprised by the wreck. Some had predicted'that a big-wreck would occur. PERSONS FIGHTING FOR LIFE DROWNED BY RISING TIDE Atlantic City, N. J.; Oct. 29.—The 1 most horrible sight of the appalling disaster was that of the third coach, which was held suspended for 30 sec onds on the projecting beam.' The coach was tipped on end and after 30 passengers had escaped the car dropped, and. falling In a mud bank,, was not covered by the water. . Several persons were caught in the coach and were drowned. Their, cries were heart breaking. A rescuer Jumped on the roof, caught a woman's wrist through a ventilator and held It until the rising tide claimed her life. A stout man was stuck In.one of tht windows. He was Ailed with hope when he found that hls head was above water. Presently, hdWever, he discov ered that the tide waa rising and he made desperate struggles to gain lib arty and life. - Two men on the roof pulled hls arms In vain and alt efforts to save him were useless. He waa crazed despair, and, fighting the rising water with his arms, prayed and cursed at ternately until the tide swept over him. Hla body war cut out an hour later. Hls struggles were so terrible that the flesh on hls sides was torn away by contact vylth the window frame, OTHER, DISASTERS OCCURRED NEAR SCENE OF THEyjYREUK Catarrh of the Stomach A Pleasant, Simple, But 8afe and Ef fectual Curs for It, C08TS NOTHING TO TRY. ''atarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to Incurable. The usual symptom* are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accom panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causlm pressure on the heart and lungs an- difficult breathing, headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played oul, languid, feeling. There Is often a foul taste In the mouth, coated tongue and If the In terlor of the stomach could be seen It would show a slimy. Inflamed condi tion.

New York, Oct. 29.—The disaster of forty-three, yesterday wa* close to the place where" on July 30, 1890, a Philadelphia and Reading "Flyer" •crashed .Into a West Jersey and Seashore accommodation train killing nearly fifty persons. The two roads cross each other on the meadow* a few hundred yards from the scene of yesterday's disaster. That wreck resulted In the, death of forty- four persons, all but two of whom were kilted outright, and serious injury to fir, Another disaster, though pot of the same character,'was the dynamiting of the Eastern Express on the Pennsyl vania at Harrisburg on May 21, of last year. A shunting engine on the ease track caused a freight train on the east track, to which a car of dynamite was attached, to come to a sudden stop, and the car to lean out over the west hound track. The Eastern express “sldeswlped" the dynamite car. Twen ty dead and a hundred Injured was the result of this accident. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP DID N07 ENTER AS ISSUE IN MARIETTA ELECTION Special to The Georgian. Marietta, Qa, Oct. 29.—The election here Saturday resulted In the over whelming defeat of the bonds for both waterworks and sewerage. Out of a total of 872 registered votes only 270 votes were polled, 250 votes being cast In favor of waterworks and 270 1 for sewerage. While sewerage bonds re ceived 20 more votes than the water works. they still lacked 178 vote* of receiving the two-thirds necessary to carry. The failure of the sewerage bond* to carry In the face of the fact that they were strongly supported by tlte friends of The Georgia Manufac turing and Public Service Company, who opposed the waterworks bonds, Would seem to Indicate that the ques tion of .municipal ownership played but little part as an Issue In tbs contest, otherwise the sewerage bonds, about which there was no question of city ownership, would have received a much larger vote than the waterworks bonds. They both received about the same vote and neither received anything like enough to carry. who Is In the city suffering from. In Juries in the Atlantic City railroad wreck, said all those who escaped owed their live* to the' heroism and cool headed work of the brakeman, "The door flew open and half of the fortunate people who are now alive tn tell the story made their escape through this door," said he. "I wa* standing.on the rear platform and saw- just what happened at that door." Regarding the speed of the train. Mr. Joseph said: , "It was running at a good clip at It approached the bridge, and I did not notice any apparent slackening In A he speed as the front end of the train dashed over the trestle work. There did not seem to be any confusion In the rear car until It pitched from the br --&foit of the passengers In this car „ere men, and they seemed dazed when the car began to follow the other* Into the water and mud. Many of the peo ple seemed absolutely frozen to their seats.
