LUCKY ESCAPES.
Sudbury despatch: Greeted by friends
on the station platform at Sudbury,
Nairn and other places along the C. P.
R., where 'he was widely known, E. L:
Desaulnier, of Blind River, smilingly as-
sured them of his safety. His name had
appeared in the despatches as one of
those' who perished in the a railway trag-
edy at•the Spanish River on Friday last.
His journey home became, a triumphal
Sroeession on a small scale. His father-
in-law, .Alfred Lahey, had journeyed to
the scene of• the wreck twice from Blind
Rlver, sorrowfully anticipating that one
of the bodies pulled out of the wreck
might be that of his son-in-law. De-
eaulnier's escape, he says, -was due to
the, sudden meeting at Montreal (wheie
he .had gone to visit his father) of a
cousin whom he had not seen for eight
years. He met the cousin at the station
just as he was boarding the express, but
remained in Montreal. He came through
to -day.
The Iucky escape of this man from
possible. death is one of the several-re-
actiotrary incidents of the grim tragedy
of Friday. Another was that of Russell
Thorppson; of Orillia, supposed to have.
been pn the train, and about whom. the
C. P.,,B officials had received . wires
causing tjle oto. fear that he still rested
in the Fiver; •
STILL• SEARCHING FOR BODIES.
Out
V. the water yesterday they ad- stances surrounding the death of the
mit still to be unrecovered.. This.
would bring the official estimate to
forty-two, and all officials spoken ' ' to
expressed •themselves as though they
thought that number would include the
whole. •
Late to -day, however, Stationmaster
Wagner, who has been in charge of •the
work of identification, received tele
grams showing several additional per-
sons as still unaccounted for by
relatives. These • are: Mrs'. Cauca
ley and two girls, Mrs.. McGinnis of
Blind River, Miss Morrison of . Rhine-
lander, Wis. ,whose 'brother's ' body
was brought out to -day) and Mrs.
McDougall . and little, girl; also- of
Blind • River•. These 'seven would bring
the death. list ftp _to 'forty-nine. Mr.
Wagner •has:`also- received' a telegram
from, Mr. Hays• of, P..e,'>£tagon, Mich.,
that ,he was coining on to -morrow to
examine the .nnidentified.•bcxlies re-
posing in then temporary 'morgue. here.
Mr. Hays' is• •looking,•,for .his wife,. his
sister and two boys.' This. might clear
up the mystery of two • of the woinen
and the two boys. 'In addition to this;
Mr. Jansen, of Blind'River,'is anxious
to locate a man from Denmark; and a
girl of twelve years: There is one un-
known foreigner unclaimed here.
To -day the first' 'authentic in-
formation was given out by the of-
fieials as to the passengers in the ill-
fated express. Supt. • Spencer • said.
that he Had, been• einforined by Con-
ductor Reynolds that he had collected
seventy-nine tickets. In the opinion of,
many this numbers would not include
the eight persons lei board who travell-
ed on passes,' leading to the supposition
that the train carried eighty-seven pas-
sengers at the time it crashed into the
river. Of these the company's men say
that between .thirty-three and.. thirty-
nine persons received attention by the
doctors and escaped with their lives.
The work on the scene, so far as the
C. 1". R. is concerned, has resolved, itself
into a .grim, persistentt hunt for bodies,
Eve werebrought to the surface this
forenoon by Diver Lapointe; the last
three. being pulled irji within the space
of half an ,hour. The work • of repairing
the.bride. is still held up because; of the
company's.,desire to make reasonably
sure•that no bodies are lying beneath it
before proceeding with the work 'of driv-
ing' in poles to support the damaged
structure. Passengers, accordingly, are
still 'being transferred across it • from
one train to another. General Superin-
tendhnt Gutelit s. who is still , on the
scene in charge of the rescue party, to-
day said that he was confident the steel
structure would be repaired sufficiently
to OW of .trains passing over by Fri-
day.
Coroner Hotw:e and a jury, who. are to
d,•
holan investigation into the' wreck,
to -day inspected tae scene. The inquiry

CAREY'S BODY RECOVERED.
One of the most pathetic scenes of"
the whole sad occurrence was enacted
,at the wreck to -day, when the diver
brought up the body of Charles Ca-
rey, of Montreal. His aged father,
John Carey, of Toronto, was among
the little group of anxious watchers
at the spot, and he had haunted the
place for three days. Shortly before
the body was found the diver had
come up with a coat, which was iden-
tified as belonging to the deadC,.P. R.
official. When, the body came to the
surface, a few minutes later, the aged
mourner reooguized it before it was
half out of the water, and, bursting
into tears, hurried from the spot.
John Carey is one of the oldest loco-
nitive engineers in the company's ser-
vice.
The mother of John Kelly, Leaven-
worth, "Washington Territory, arrived
from Toronto this morning. She con-
firmed the identification of the bodies
of los. Kelly, his wife and child, tenta-
tively made by the C. P. R. officials
yesterday.
TO REPAIR BRIDGE.
Sault Ste. Marie . despatch: C. Mc-
Manus, local manager for the Canadian
Bridge Company, which has a big con-
tract for the structural steel plant for
the Lake Superior Corporation, left this
afternoon' for the soene of the wreck, up-
on instructions of the C. P. R., to recon-
struct the bridge damaged in the acci-
dent. McManus says "the fact that the
bridge did not fall when the girders
broke is a. iripstery. to engineers." He
took down a crew of; eight men, and
expects to finish • the . work within a
few days, • '
