E EVENING WORLD, MONDAY. OCTOBER 29, 1906 FACTS ABOUT TRAIN HORROR, CONDENSED FROM ALL REPORTS. Seventy persons were drowned, according to the-conductor’s record And the number of known survivors. Not one of the persons killed had a chance for Hfe, being flung ererpeard tttocked-cars-that—-rere—tnetantly -eutmerged—in—twenty—f of water. Brery survivor owes his life to the: heroic endeavor of himself or gome other person on the tralli; 3 : A defect in the juncture of the rails of the craw and’ the trestle over Fa eee behind Atlantic City was responsthle for the catastrophe.

Public Prosecutor Albertson has been informed that Stewart sald yesterdiy afternoon that the bridge | Was so constructed that every time te draw was swunk {t was heces: Ty] ‘f6r him to re-align the rall by hand, ‘The reason given by the old mand rt att! ‘AW WAS not balanced to make tho perfect joint automatically, and that unless the ralla were adjusted evory time tho bridge was opened the structure was a death (raj for any fast moving —tratiis The bridge tender made this statement while under the great stress | of excitement immediately following the wreck, When found in a calmer _. frame of mind several hours, later Stewart denied having sald aavininel| > @ieut tinving liad to readjust tie rafis_ow the bridge by hand. At this | time he further asserted that the ralls wort in perfect alignment when the wreoketl train tcok the draw. John Lyons, of No. “2.339 Hrandywine wife perished in’ the wreck, says that on the way down the conductor o: the traip advised him to go in tho forward car. ns the brakes of the rear gar were not working. Whether the motorman was imable to contro) _ his train after ba entered the break in the bridge Is _ mystery that can-! Hot be solved, as ‘he is dead.
