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.

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, • ' AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT. In an official statement this after- noon regarding the affair, Mr. D.

The old idea of reaching the north pole by submarine, as was so graphical- ly set forth in Jules Verne's story of "Twenty Thousand Leagties . Under the Sea," has been revived in Berlin by the announcement that Dr. A. Kemp, the wel;l known inventor, has decided to make the attempt.' In an interview in ,Duluth Mr. Wil- liam Mackenzie, president of the C. N. R., stated that it was by no means set- tled that the C. N. R. would'build a line into that city. He., gave the idea that the company was dissatisfied with the terms of the agreement which the city of Duluth asked for. A tragedy of the far north was made known at Quebec yesterday when the Brotherhood of the Lay Monks were notified that in October last two mem- bers of their order, the Rev.

Despite the fears of many fishing captains that the Newfoundland west coast herring fisheries are becoming de- pleted, the catch for the season now ended shows an increase of 20,000 bar-' rels over last year. The total catch amounts to 84,000 barrels, mostly tak- en by American vessels. At Dalhart, Texas, Mrs. Joseph C. Pettis on Tuesday declared that a bolt of lightning struck the ground on the mountainside near her farm house re- cently, and uncovered a spring of crude oil, which is now producing 200 barrels daily. The land, before the uncovering of .the spring, barely yielded enough to support her. Samuel Pye, a Newfoundlander, aged about 40, was instantly killed last night at Reserve colliery, near Halifax, by touching a live wire. The wire was eight or ten feet from the ground, and the'aot of Pye was; it is said, the result of en, argument as to whether it was charged or not.. He leaves a widow and six children. ` Friare Nike], under arrest awaiting trial for robbery and arson at Morden, Man,, attempted to escape on Monday.
