THE CORONER'S INQUEST.

Re Will Exonerate the Company Jt'rom all Blame—The Injured—Another WreckCoroner Bronaugh arrived from New Ross Tuesday and began to tako evidence. Til*} injured passengers were a number of them interviewed and in the rning he began to search into the cause of the disaster in a thorough manner. The story of the irresponsible section hand who asserted that a rail had been applied for in vain a week ago to take the place of the one causing the accident was knocked to smithereens. •Section boss John Halpin, his brother, Ed, Thos. Collins and Ed McCarthy gave evidence which coincided exactly. These two latter men were near the scene of tho wreck when it occurred. All were examined separately, and not allowed to hear each others testimony. The evidence they gave was in a nut shell as follows: The road bed at tho scone of the accident Wis in a perfect condition. Tho rails were 30 feet long and there were 18 ties to a rail. Although the heavy train ran over the ties a hundred yards after leaving the track before it went over tho embankment, so sound were the ties that not one was found which was oven depressed by tho tremendous jarring weight. As to the fatal rail, the section men swore was a latent one and no one could possibly have known of its existence previous .to the time of tho accident. The section men go over the track every day and every rail is sounded forilaws. The rail whose brenkingjenused the disaster was tested but no Haw was discovered its ring being true and clear.

McCarthy and Collins were six rods from the disaster, when it happened, engaged in tightening bolts. They had not been working on the rail which'brDke, but had tested it and found it all right shortly before. A number of outside parties, who had been out to the scene of the catastrophe and examined the road bed were put upon the stand and swore to its good condition. Coroner Bronaugh has not yet rendered a verdict and may not for several days yet. When ap proached by THE JOURNAL,Dr. Bronaugh said, *'I have not yet made up my verdict. I have several to examine and can't say just when I will got the matter all fixed uj). I will say, however, that the road will be exonorated from all blame. It was one of those unavoidable accidents which no one could see or prevent."'

THE INJURED.

The injured are none of them worse and will probably all of them recover ultimately. Of course, it is impossible to determine just how badly those injured internally are hurt, but as they are not worse to-day it seems pretty likely that they will be better At any rate the doctors give encouraging notices.

MORE WRECKS.

There were two freight wrecks on the Monon Wednesday The fast through freight No. 71 from Chicago, vas wrecked at Iiomney about noon. The engine and five cars are in the ditch. The en gineer, Geo. King and tho crew escaped injnry. Tho mail train from the north was obliged to go around by the way of Colfax and arrived here quite late.

THE COMPANY LIUSY SETTLING UL The Monon official., are still very busy adjusting tho claims of 'hose injured in the wreck. Twenty-eight had been set tied with Thursday. The highest claim paid being SG00 and the lowest 820. The claims are running between $50 and $100 generally and the people and the road, too, seem dispesed to act fairly. Said Judge Field this morning "The loss on the dead and injured will not exceed $13,000. The ladies car which was demolished, occasioned^a loss of $G,000. The damage to tho parlor car, "Minerva," was $3,000. All in all. it may be reasonably said that our loss will come within the $30,000 limit. Madame Van Rokey had no relatives and Mr, Hamburger none but an aged mother. A gentleman who came from Cinoinnati for tho remains stated that this poor old lady was very aged and feeble and would probably not survive the shock. We, of course, have said nothing to Mrs. Cheek She is greatly prostrated by the, shock and it would be in exceedingly bad taste to suggest settlement to her now. She will be offered everything in the company's power to afford her. ller loss,however, is irreparable and the road'sollicials will nob intrude on her grief by rushing in totalk about "damages.'"

NO]'I2S.

Wm. Hall compromised with the company for $85. .. Some of the injured consulted lawyers before they did doctors.

D. F. Murphy, who was in tho wreck, said to an Indianapolis Journal reporter:

Mrs. Bishop, of Lafayotte, arrived Tuesday and is at the bed side of her husband, the brakeman.

Mrs. C. F. -Hoyt is with her husband who was a victim of tho disaster. They live at Indianapolis, in Windsor hotel.

C. B. Trippe and wife, of New York, are here visiting Mrs. Trippe's sistor, Nellie Hamlin, who was so seriously hurt.

Nat Beatty is resting somewhat easior to-day. He cannot lay on his right side. Will Smith is able to be out but his hand is still useless.

Miss White. MifiB Renza and Miss Do Wolfe, of the burlesque troupe, went down to breakfast Wednesday for the

first time since the accidont. In all probability the City Club Burlesque troupe will bo reorganized in t' is city in about four weeks. In tlii.s event the opening performance will be- given here.

YanCamp & Co. sold a lady from Linden two pair of children's shoes on the ly ot the wreck. They were found in tho debris anil returned to the store where the owner may get tliem.

G. W. Gardener, of Ladoga, was in the wreck and returned home thinking himself only bruised and cut. lie is now down in bod and unable to move. He is suffering with several broken ribs ind internal injuries.

Dr. E. Whitesides was taken to his home in Franklin Wednesday although a very serious condition. His mother is ill and greatly worried lest he was njured worse than reported. Accordingly ho insisted on being taken home. "A peculiar fact connected with the iwful accident is that, just before the derailment of the train the ladies in the car had struck up 'Nearer my God to l'hee.' and were singi it just when the oar fell over. One of the ladies who was singing was killed."

Miss Addio McAneeanil Mrs. Sclioenliut have been at the Nutt House ever since the accident, and the hotel people say they have proved their weight in gold lending assistance to the injured. Others have also done groat work in relieving the pool unfortunate.

The Monon road took out supplies to the home of John Elmore Wednesday. Mr. Elmore lives at the scene of tho wreck and when tho wpck occurred, all his bedding, etc., was used to bring tho injured ones to town upon. The road took out two carpets,four blankets,three comforts, fifteen yards of sheeting, and a number of towels and table clothes.

The funeral of Madame VanRokoy occurred at the Catholic church Wednesday at 9 o'clook, the auditorium being crowded. Father Dinnen conducted the Requiem Mass and delivered a short and eloquent sermon. All the members of the burlesque troupe able to walk were present and the scene was quite affectmer­

it was suggested to Manager Miaco that his companj*, or what remains of it, should givo a benefit performance. Mace Townsley offered tho use of Music Hall free of charge and no doubt the liouso would be packed, but Mr. Miaco said such a thing would be impossible, as his company was too badly broken up to give a half way complete show.

Miss Helen Watson is deserving of especial praise and notice for the part she bore in relieving the sufferings of injured at the Bceue of the wreck. She was in the freight office when the news of the accident arrived. Dropping everything, she ran out to the place of the disaster and worked untiringly until the wants of all were cared for. She was of especial service to the injured ladies who will long remember her kindly offers with tho deepest gratitude.

The effects of Madame Van llokoy were turned over to the county treasurer by the Coroner. If relatives do not claim them within a year they will be sold for the benefit of the county. Besides a diamond necklace and some rings there aro two trunks full of lovely costumes. One of' these trunks was sent on to Chicago, but it will bo returned at once by Manager Miaco. Miaco took tho money of tho unfortunate woman.

In the account of those injured in the wreck there were J. N. Beach and wife, of Linden, who were both considerably bruised and cut about the heads and arms, Mr. Beach quite badly. They occupied seats in the ladies' car and one seat in the rear of Mr. Hamberger, who was killed, but would have escaped doath had ho been one seat in advance of where he was, for the stump the car passed over literally ground him to death. Mr. Beach and wife were overlooked in the list of injured because he was brought immediately to the home of his nephew, Sam, who with Dr. Irwin cared for him.

W. H. McDool, general manager of the Louisville, New Albany Chicago road, was attending a railroad meeting it Chicago at the hour of the accident near Crawfordsville, and just before he received the elegram, with other officials who are friendly to tho road, was conversing on the excellent record ho was making and tho fact that there had been such exemption from accidents since I10 became the general manager. On receiving the message he was much distressed, it being the first serious accident since he took charge.—1mHandpolis Journal.„

A

One D. K. Murphy, a~ carpet drummer is an unconscionable liar. Ho wont south on tho Monon tho day of the wreck, but bobbed up in Indianapolis yesterday all bandaged up and posed as a relic of the wreck. Ho has quite a thrilling story in tho Indianapolis Journal to-day, but it is a bare faced lie of tho worst character. He describes himself as a seat-mate of tho unfortunate Hamberger. Mr. Hoyt, one of the injured men now at the Nutt House, saw Murphy leave for the south as did Agent Watson. Mr. Hoyt boarded the train ith Hamberger and tho seats wore all occupied. They stood in the aisle until Madame Yan Rokey offered Hamberger half of her sea* and he sat down never to rise again. Both of them aitting as they did in one seat, were killed instantly.

The National Banks and Other Orgamzations Elect Officers for tbo Ensuing Year. The two National Banks, tho Indiana Live Stock Investment Company and the Y. M. C. A. elected officers and directors Tin sday for tho coming year

To Willis Jackman.

To the Hditor The Journal. I am truly g'.ad that my article in THE JOUKNATJ of Dec. 15 sent- a thrill of some kinil through you and those of tho Alliance that listened to that thrilling speech of Dr. H. W. Taylor, as from the look of your faces I did not suppose anything more cou'd bo got through. Come now, Willi*. iid not the doctor say just as I sain in his explanation of how a man of his profession bocamo a member of the Alliance? Do you not remember his words, "a little farm and a great big mortgage?" Surely, you do. I will stick to my assertion that ho did not suggest a single remedy for the farmer. 'Tis true he talked at some length on the sub-treasury plan and proved himseif a groat financier in his own opinion. He then roasted the money sharks, but I will not blame him for that for I some times fall out with my friends because they have more money than I have. I will admit I was for years a farmer, not ns you say prosperous, but farmed for all there was in it. The trouble tlion as now way following overy new thing that came along. So accustomed did .vo become to do it that for a time there was danger of us following a new wagon on tho road.

Benjamin Franklin oaid: "Time is the stuff life is made ot. Fvery man has, exactly the same amount of it in a year some husband it and reap great results others waste it and make groat failures. Tho first class aro called lucky, tho second class aro usually termed unfortunate." This he wisely says is the whole thing in a nutshell. Now, Willis, 1 have no fight with tho farmer. Far from it. I wish you all God's best gifts. But I do hate to see you following every now wagon that comes along. Come and go with 1110 and let us visit the Ben Hur Reading Circle, where the host interest of the farm and farmer are discussed, where dull care is for the time forgotten and I am sure your digestion will improve so that you will conclude with 1110 that a neighbor with a million is not a bad thing to have.

Comingore, of Lafayotte, Secretary-Treasurer J. P. Hannogan, of Lafayette, State Organizer. The next meeting will bo hold in South Bond on tho second Tuesday of Apnl. 'if

j"" Good Noses for Gas. Dr. Talbott, of Alamo, says the people down in his neighborhood anu even as far away as tho edge of Fountain county, can smell tho natural pas of mornings when tho air in damp. Alamo is 11 miles from the pipe line and there is no gas well near by, so the good people of that section must have remarkable noses for gas, or there must be a staving big leak some whereon the line.

That F. M. B. A. Row.

T.I tlio Hilllor of TIIK JOIMINAI.. We trulv regret to notice in THE JOURNAL nn article under the abovo title dated Jan. 2, 18!:£, however, it is not with any spirit of retaliation or antagonism that we doso,but simply to correct the errors in order that the Chicago papers, the public ami tho world in general may be get, right. In the lirst place, there was not, nor never was a branch of the F. AI. B. A's. at the West, Union school house, so there could not have been a bust, up Monday night, as THE JOURNAL has it, The Farmers Alliance have an organization at said school house, whoso books a!iow a mcinhcn hip of one hundred members and more coming in at. every meeting. They meet on said Monday night, but, a number of members did not "become disgusted." One person, S. D. Kollison, however, who was a Husjtended member of the order refused to pay up his back dues, and on so doing, Noah

Flanigan as Lecturer of tho Alliance said, "Let those who don't want to pay dues leave," and Mr. Ivoilison quietly and politely left the hall. This could not be called a row, either of the F. M. A. or the Farmer's Alliance as thoy well know what they aro doing. Noah Flanigan does not consider it any disgrace to be of Irish lineage, as the Irish blood is true and loyal as courses the veins of any nationality. As proof in his case, he stood at the front for three years or more during tho late war in preference to skulking in the dog fennel at home. WEST UNION ALLIANCE.

A Deserved Testimonial.

At the meeting of tho board of directors of the Citizens' National Bank Tuesday the following resolution was passed:

WHEREAS, Mr. Benjamin Wasson, our retiring cashier, fooling that his 30 years close-conflnoment in the banking business demands for him a rest, therefore,

More Arguments for an Annex. Rev. T. 1). Fyfl'e has again carded the Indianapolis Journal on the subject of co-education in Wabash College. has gone to the trouble of writing to a number of East( rn and Western college presidents in regard to tho admission of women, and the answers in all cases ho linds highly favorable to co-ed-ucation. Mr. Fyffo winds up his artiole however, in an argument for an annex of some sort for Wab'.sh.
