Tho traek, which wna blocked up part of the dny, was clear yesterday aftornoon. - 1y tho Company’s rules the responsibility reata with both _the ougineor and_conductor. - Thoy woro stoady, sobor men, and had been in tho Compnnz's ‘employ for ' yoars. Who conductor ind been on s identical conl train, mecting- this identieal prasongor train osel journoy for one your, Investization is eaid to show that both men were sobor ud the timo they loft thoir sgide-track at Lemont. Tho fact that tho:conductor of the coal train # beon coneidered ono of ho most re- duetors on tho road, aud bis intimate Tnowledgo of the train ho was running, quite przales the munoagers of the road, whon they ry to speenlato on tho CAUSE OF )14 PATAL DLUNDER, Conductor Ituwscll, of (ho passengoer traln, thoy Ireo ontirely from blame, ~He wau but thal usppreciably small amonnt of time behind Twiid which can nlways bo lookod forin n train which has been deluyed by its long, slow drag througli tho eity limits, and stoppiagos nt city slations, 'The managers consider that, had it. 20t boon for the now conpling now used on the voud, the ecidont would havo boon in tho olds fushioned teloscoping stylo, and the fatal casuultica would have "been much more RUINOrous, Iho ougino, in rovolving under tho smolking-ear, had ils gmoke-stack an «domo knocked off, sud the stonm belched forth sud rusbiod through the ront which had boen torn in tho cer flooring. Lverybody in the car suf~ fored more or leas from tho stoam, with tho ex- ception of thoso mon who dropped throngh tho Twoles in the flooring and were saved. Tho cars at the timo of tho collivion were golng at full speed, thoir joiut spoed being probably equal to fifty miles per lour, The froight ongino, nl- though not rnning ro fast oa the passengor, was mueli heavier, and, with the immense load at Ler back, casily gainod tho advantage over the other, whone suddon shooting into mid-nir has been described. According to tho Buporin- tendont of the road, noither enginoer could huve sirzhted the other train until within a fow feol of it, us tho head-lights aro not visible in a fog un- il within that distanoo. Birange to say, 13 THE BLEEPING-UARS bt a alight Juering was felt throughont the col- lision. A gontleman describes hin foeling tho #hock which ho llmufiht was meroly o rathor sudden stoppage of the trinn, and it was only whon he heurd the hurrying to aud fro of rapid 10 .(n(ura, and tho quickiy recurring questions which flow among tho pussengers in frout, that he reatized that anything was wrong.

A, S, BURGESS' STATEMENT, A roportor yestordny ovening had tho good fortuno to meet Mr, A, 8. Burgees, conductor of tho Pullinan palaco-car on the train, and elicited ‘from that gentloman o grent denl of informa- tion. DBIr. Burgoss states that ho started out with an unusually largo numbor of sleoping-car passongers, onough to fill two conches. Tho train only Look ono coach, the “ Louisiana,” in- tonding to attuch anothor to the train at Willow Blution. As theore was no room in tho rear car for thoto gontleman, some forly or fifty in munber, they wandered forward to the front end of the train, to await tho atiachmont of the sccond Iullman car. Bomo of them remained in the amoking- ear nud other conchos in front, whilo the rest roturned to their sleoping-apartments to sccuro borthy, When tho collision ocourred, Mr. Bur-; #esw was standing ot the door of tho car mark- ing off berthy for the passongers on the diagram. e firat concussion throw him forward sgainet tho door, the socond hurled him over the brake, uud the third back again to the door. His clothes woro torn aud his legs somowhat bruised, but he immediatoly went forward with the rest of tho passengors to sce what was tho wmat- ter. ‘Nover in my Ifo,” kaid ho, *havo I wit~ neased wuch o vight. It was tho fifth collision m which I wag n participant, but ne- ur did I seo siich utter migery. In tho meadows on oithor so of the track wore ying Luman belugs, yoll- ing in agony,—their flosh boiled off them. Tho freight engine had run cloan undornoath the smoking-cur, and thoro exploded, shattering tho car into littlo picces, and blowing the oceupants high up into tho sir, and over the fonce iuto tho meadows. Who other engine burst at tho ramo time. A man—I dow't know who it was—yun up to mo, shrickivg with agony, and throw himaelt into my arma, I tried to hold Liny, but his clothi toro off him, snd tho flesh camo oft with them. I was nearly stunnod ab tho sight. Thoro woro a dozon or more, strippad &turk nuked, running up and down, crazy with pin. They wero tearing at their bodion, and tuaring off great handsful of flesh, Tho passon- gors belaved admirably. They took up tho vietimst and carried them into the conches. 1 told them to bring them into tho slooping-car, and thoy did, First thing I kuow, (Lo ladios, God bless them! wore tearing up their undor- clothing to bind up tho sufforors, Why, sir, in hnlf & minuto they Liad kcarcely anything loft on tnem. There was round one man’s hand n lace handkerchiof that must have cost s small for- tune. One lady thrust something into my hand to tic round a man's arm, which looked hke— well, underclutbing, 1 could not stand dwt any longor. I did not care whal tho company said, so I just gavo ordors to spen the Jockers and toar up unything that camo aundy. And thoy did. Thoere were two or throo mudivs tewring sheets into longths to bind up wouudy, whilo half-n-dozen othors woro binding thom sround the bloody arms and hodies of tha wounded men, 'Thoro was ono littlo lndy who was on angol; who worked—low eho worked! horo's ler card, God bloss lor," and ho handed ho roportor card marked Mrs, lobort McCart, No. 212 Houth Coptro stroot, Bloomington.” I said I would got hor name into the papors, and she bepgod me not to, Dub thero it iv."

Prosontly sho "camo back with tho crazy follow, who ajipeared to _onjoy the scene immonecly. 8he Lad found him just wliero ho foll in tho meadow. Ho had boon blown by the force of tho of‘]floslnn twonty or thirty foet, and Liad not n scald or a seratch abont biwm. Roportor—What did you do with him ?

Thore wasanothor incident which secmed to me extraordinary. Tho boy was in the smoking-car, and ho was blown high into the air and camo down agnin right through the debris, almost where he was sitting. Ho wans badly scalded, bnt I think ho wil got ovarit, Iasked him how he folt, and ho #aid his worst tronblo was the loss of lis peanuts, Poor littlo chap, I guess he'll find . his troubles worso than that. I could sit down horo nnd tell you incidents all night, only you aro so:busy. Thoro was ono which you might like. Thero were two' young fellows, one named A. Blum, of Galvoston, Toxas, tnd suotlier uamed Ed, Mames, of No, 40 Murray streot, Now York, ‘Choy wontforward to smoke, but, baforo they got away, gne of them roturned and offered me o oigar, accoptod it, and we stood thore chatting, perhaps five min- utes, when the collision ocourred. ‘Their thinl- ing to offer a conductor a cigar saved theirlives. Iln?nxt\)t—'l‘l.\u obylous morsl is alway to offer ke Pullman conductor a cigar ? ., Burgess (lighting a freah weod)—I sup- 086 BO ; but anyway, thoso follows will never orgot that incident, Nico gontlomen thoy were, both of ‘them, Mr, Burgess wag vory communicative, and though ho said nnthln% of himself, ho dosorves reat credlt for tho part ho playod in this awful Erngady. Groat caotastrophos always tond to bring out what nobility thoro is in' human nature, Ohicago needs no reminder of that. Even among the victims of hor ovore trial sho could find just such * clear grit " as Mr. Burgass doscribosin Capt. Little and others. OTHER INTERVIEWS, Among those who were called upon by & ro- portor waa DR. W. P. TIERCE, of Lomont, ex-State Sonator, and a gentleman of considorable professional ability., Ho said that on Saturdsy night he was called upon by the station sgont, Mr. Huaton, to ropair ag quickly as possible to tho acenc of the sccidont, and do what ho could; to alle- viate the sufforings of such of the passongers a8 wero injured. Ar. Huston had warned the counductor of tho froight train that he could not by any possibility make up the lost timo, and that it was & foolhardy and criminal venturo to attompt it, Tho conductor had turned a doaf ear to his romonstrances. Ho had walohed auxionsly, in an agony of fesr, tho doparting frelght traln, and whon the cravh of tho collision occurred, four milos away, ho had hosrd it distinctly, and thereupon sum- moned medical aid, This statoment, Dr, Plorce says, was corroborated by twonty or moro fntolli- gont porsong who hoard tho concussion, and who tearnod from it alone that the terriblo accidont thoy dreaded had oconrred, It fortunatoly hap- ponced that o freight traln was lylng on a side- track, and to get wup asleam was a work which oconsumed very little time. Dr, Plorce, Dr. Barnow, and J. H, Nuce, of Ohicago, and Dra. Thorpo sud Uoombos, of Lomont, embarked on tho engine with Mr, Iluston, Bupposing that in a collislon tho casualties would require prompt surgicsl attontion, theso gontlemon took their cseos of instru- monts, and ombarked, Whon they roachod tho Boeno of the catastrophe they found that tho lnilurluu woro all caused. by tho effcot of the steam from tho .ex- ploded boiler of the eugine, The passengers bad boen busily omployed In carlng for the wounded, but the doctors could do no more than alloviato the sgonios of the parboiled viotims, ‘ho shricks, groaus, orlos for water, wore shook- ing to even thoso voterans in human suffering. To such as_could be holped, they admintstored oplum and morphine, to thoso in the direut agony thoy lruul{ gave chloroform, Moanwhile thoy ‘sent back fo Jollet for carron oll liniment. Bfeanwhilo thoy did their bost to proteot the poor croaturos by wiapping thom up in whatever they could got, Mr, A, B, Burgess, conduotor of tho Pullmpn cars, had glyon orders io opon ¢ Tookors, todr up ‘sboots and pillow cnses, Aud supply tho surgeons with whatovor tho noodod. Tu niany cagos, Dr. Plorco says, when tho suffor. ors wero slripped of thoir dlothos, sooled off with thoir garmonts, and loft tho flesh share. It is congidorad that whon morothan dno- third of the cuticlo ia dostroyed, tho chanoad of. facovory aro vory olight. Tho skia sorvos ogo, 88 overy omo Kugws, ;I’m {mmduo‘t to earry awny tho impure linmorn of tho body, Whon, therofaro, o groat part of it fs_gone, tho is chocked, and tho aystom, ilos, 1s poisoned. It wns ound thot Dr, Bmith, Warden of tho Peniton- tinry, had loat fully half his skin, but tho doo- tors hopod that tho lungs might sorve to do doublo duty whon called upon by an omergenoy. drafnngo of the bod: roluining Its_impu _Unfortunatoly, howovor, ATz, Bmith had inhalod tho noaldlug vapor into lis lungs, and thero seomed to bo no hopo for him, This end condi- Mlun of affairs waa truo of Alr. Fleury aud othors also, MM, D, B, UAWLEY, of Normal, was in tho third car from the bag- grge-car whon tho acoldont ocourred. As soon a8 tho ehock eame, overybody in tho car jumped up, and » simultancous rush was made for tho door, Inaloudtono of voico Mr. Hawloy bado thom sit down oud walt until tho motion ceased. As soon a8 tho motion sub- elded, ho ungfiuulud that thoy go out and soo what bnd oconrred. It did not take 1more than a fow moments to rostoro the passen- gors' self-pousossion, aud thoy eallied from tho car liko sonsiblo boings, with no ovidenco of sanic or dismay. Thoey went forward, and Mr, awloy, moouring a light from a brakeman, ronchied the wreck of tho umaldu&;nr, upon which ho and othora climbed, By thoir united offorts they aucoooded in litting people out and Liolped thom down, or such of thom as remained. Thoy fonnd the firaman of the conl train lying in dismal plight. His feot wore in the furnace and his body wodged in botweon the tonder and tho romains of the boiler, a pilo of coal humflnd over him, Thoy roscued him from his horrblo posi~ tion, and earried him aft, but ho died in twonty minutos. . Thore was ono man oonnected with the Ohlo & Nisaiesippl Railrond who was killed instantly, the-only person to whom snch meroy waa shown. The concussion dislooated his ncol, and his sufferings woro over in this world, Ar. Hawloy found Mr. Brass and helpod him out. Ho was oruolly mutilated, and sskod to bo Inld down gomowhore. His wish was gratified, Immodiately bohind tho touder of tho conl train wes o box-car, ond bohind this s flat-car Toaded with ralls, Ho grost was tho train driving slong to make up lost timo that, when tho col- liston ocourred, masaivo iron bara_ shot forward 1iko a flight of colossal “arrows, cloar over tho intorvening car and wndnr, oaud | were scattored ovor tho wreck of tho emok- ing - car. It . roquired tho efforts of the orowd, working under the impulse of {rrosistiblo oxcitemont, to removo them bofore the imprisoned wrotches below could bo removed .from their agonizod position. Mr, Hawloy and others_spoak of tho conduct of tho railway compony’s employos with the Dbitteroat feoling. Thoy were presout, and could realizo tho fall horror of tho scone. Thoy re- ardod it a8 tho rosult of the most criminal care- ossnoes. Dr. Hawloy shrinks from pronounc- 1mg it mlcious, Dbut’ ho thinks it looks not un- 0 it 7 M0, LINDEAY. - There will probably be an iuvnsu%nuan by tho railroad suthorities into tho conduct of tho' two conductors, Russoll and Lindsay, in makiog n chango unaunthorized. A reportor :Luuatl‘onod‘ Mr, Lindeay, yesterday, upon tho subject.’ "Ho said Ho was conductor of tho train going; north to Ohicago, and desired to go back to Blooming- ton to spond the duy thore. Accordingly, at Villow BSprings, whero tho two' trains mot, he ohangod Toatng with Hussell, snd ro- turned. At the same timo, he d&id not go ‘in tho capscity of conduoctor, but waa nothing moro then & pregengor. Ho was in the Pullman car whon the collision ocourred, and was thrown forward, and shaken somowhat, gorlously hurt. He wont out of the train, and, finding o brakemau, gave him a red light and sent bim back to Willow Ktation, . He saw 2r. lawley, got out of the car and go forward to roscuo l.§u _victims, - and lgndly “tostifies to tho gallant sorvice rondored by tlat gontloman. Ho says that thero wero' throo diatinat shooks. Thoro woro fome persons who felt disposed to throw the blame npon the Company for not tak- ing immodinte steps to_sond assistanco, but be- lieves that aid was rondered as early as possiblo under tho_ocircumstances. Tho spparent delay in rencliing tho oity was causod by the fact that ' tho ‘wore compellod” to move very slowly, and woro obliged to sond o man in advance of the train. Tho only means of communicating with Ohicago was by Lemont to Bloomington, and by Bloomington to Chicago. EVD!ylhln? that could bo done for the sufforors was promptly snd willingly done, and lie thinks no blamo can attach to the oflicora of tho road or the train. MR, ADAMS, a commerclal traveler, at Ttoom No. 11 of the Briggs House, ia one of the moro fortunato of the unfortunate. His in- jurlos mainly ariso from scalding, although his foco boara morks of sovoro contusion. His story is that butacouple of minutes beforo the oxplosion he entered tho second-olass car for the purposo of lmvlnfi a smoko, and sat down on-the_small seat bohind tho door. Ho hod just Mt his cigar whon the shack Tho . firat sensation which he s to rocall was ono of belng thrown violently from tho car, through an oponing which the collislon had mnde. Then ho folt the hot water audstoam just zs hoe landed somo twenty or thirty foot from the ear. On coming to hlyu seneos, it soemed to him that, out- sido of o burn onhis face, he was not badly hurt, and ho olimbed a fenco, which ho had been jork- od over, in order to regnin the car he had boon 8o suwmarily ‘efocted from. Before ho'could do this, howsver, Do fainted, and that was the last thing he remembored until lte opened’ his oyes ond saw that ho had beon replacod on o train, and was being carried = somewhero, His Injuries aro mevero. Mia faco is budly bumed, especinlly on tho lott eide, -which {s tormbly swollen. ' His loft arm also 1a very badly burned, tho right arm somewhat loss 8o. Hia chiof complaint is that 60 little was done to roliove his sufferings whilo en route to Chicago, the misinformation on the part of tho dootors, who were not made ac- 3\1!‘11!0(1 with tho peculiar nature of tho acci- ont, hindering thom from taking with them the usual appliances usod for tho soothing of pain ensuing from scalds, y DI, M'VICKAR. A *gcald” accidont on & railrond is one of tho most droadful forms that death on the rail can take. Whilo in an ordinary collision, the wound- «od presont an awfnl aspect, yot thoir appearance often indicates a groator amount of roal ln{.\lrx than is sctually the case. At an accident whiel ocourred at & placo called Bhannonville, Canada, & yoar sinco, whore a' eocond- clags car was thrown on top of an engine, lotting looso thoe steam which filled it and scalded the pussengers, it wes romarked that mony of tho gealded, who died within a fow hours aftor the aceidont, woro, immodintely aftor ita ocour- rence, among tho most energetic in oxtricating those who were unablo to move from their posi- tion. During an intorviow with Dr, MoVickar, who spent tho day in relloving tho sufforers, that gontleman stated that, during tho oarlier yoars of hia practico,s and “whon steam-sealding acoldonts wore comparatiyoly unknown, ho wad ongaged professionally to attond s numbor of yiotima of o stoam-boilor oxplosion. It was than ho lenrned that o mon of strong constitution and nerves can, though his lungs have inhaled the supor-hoated vapor, live for ono, two, or oven three days, and during the time seom to bo progrossing toward recovery, aud tho ultimate donth of somo of his pationts, to whom ho had Leld out assurancos of rocovory, surprised him, and set him to thinkingon tho mubjeot. His opluion now is that, it a non bas inhalod tho stoam in any quautity, ho muet dio, and says that, out of the thirty sufforers whom Do yostorday visitad at the hospital, the casos of nt loast five aro lielploss.
