Another Name Added to the Death-Roll. Three Moro of Beane’s Victims Expected to Die. The Coroner’s Investigation Resumed Yesterday. Statement of the Engineer of the Coal Train Loco- motive. He Throws All the Blamo upon Beane and llis Watch, The Coroner’s Jury at the Scene of the Collision. Publio attantion 48 still engrossed by the rail- road nccidont, and publio fecling has assumed tho form of o genoral wish that the conductor of tho conl train will be caught snd lodged in jail with the ongincor, to await the action of the Grand Jury. Intolligonco was brought to the city on Monday that Boano was caught, but it wag premsturc, ne up to last night he was at largo. Ho had quite & long sturt of tho ofiicors in Lis flight, if ho renlly fled, and it may take somo timo to ovorhoul him. It is gonerally thought, howavor, that he is concealed in tho vicinity of his homo at Joliot, waiting for tho storm of indignation to subaide, whon his flight wil Do less likely to Dbo interrupted, Tho Railrond Company has given carte blanche to the polico authoritios, and his eapture now depends on the skill of the officers. Ho can hardly escape, and news of his apprehonsion may be received at any moment, It wilt be very welcomo whon it comes, it being felt that it is about time something waa dono to cub the recklossnoss of railrond omployos, NO FREBIT NEWE. Thero was 1o nows of special importanco at tho oflice of the Company yostordny. Superin- tondent MoMullen was in attondance on the Cor- onor's Jury, rondoring every facility in procuring witnessos, and othorwise assisting thom. Judge Beckywith was in his office, imparting informa- tion to. inquirors, and doing all in his powor to omitigato the sorrow of the borenvod frionds of tho dead. Prosident Blackstons was aleo on hand, Ho said they had calculated thoe timo it would havo taken tho pas- songer train to run from Willow Springs to Lo- mont, and even had that train loft Willow Bprings on time, tho collivion would not have beon avorted, though the consoquences would bave boon less frighttul. Ho belioved the patent platform provented all the cars from tol- escoping. By tho way, itis not the Miller plat- form, but an improvement on it, invented and patonted by Mr. Blackstono himself, that i in use on the road. The improvement consists in two heavy prongs projecting under each plat- form, which absolutely provent ono from jump- ing over tbo other. Those prongs aro made sufficiontly strong to eustain tho weight of the car, and it happened that, 1N ONE INSTANCE, thoy saved =& ¢rain from destruction. That ‘was in the winter. One morning the lightning troin was moving rapidly botween the Bummit aud Chicago. The conductor, in passing from ono car to another, noticed bits of iron flying as tho train sped along. The train boing stopped, it was discovered that tho forward truck of ono of tho cars was complotely gono, and that ond of tho car waa uphold by tho pronga insorted in tho platform of the car ahead. With the Millor Platform there wonld have been no support, and tho car would have dropped. Tho consoquonces may be imagined. Rir. Blackstono thinks that it the tramns had mot full and plump on a straight ling,tho telescoping would not have gone further than the baggago car. ANOTHER VIOTIM. Onemon diod sinco ourlast roport, making oightoon desd go far. Ilis namo was Frank Bridges. Mo expired at tho County Hospital early yesterday morning. Ho was ongineer or firoman of the pnssenger train, Tho remaining pationts sro doing an woll nacan_bo oxpeotor, The physician at the County Hospital enid that three moro will die thore in tho course of the noxt fow days. Ho did not tell who they woro. The brakeman, Cunningham, whose limbs were fractured, is progrossing favorably at the Gault House. Mr. Adams is convalescing at the Brigga, Anton Truklomoyor is comfortable, and going to rocover, His wifo was sont for and is with him. Thomas Clowry snd A. Berden, roported as being on the train are still missing. 1f thoy wore on the train, thoy probably cacapod and proceoded to tholr dostination, The funcral sorvices over the remains of Roger J. Brass wore held yesterday morning in tho Church of the Holy Namo, in’ the prosonce of a large concourse of mourners. William Davis was also buried yestordsy from tho rosi- dence of his mother, at No. 29 West O'Neill stroot. A LEMONT INQUEST. One Coroner’s jury has already passed upon the accident. On Sunday an inquest was held at Lemont by Justico John L. Derby, on the bodies of Josoph B, Michle, John Motzlar, and John Davis. Mr, Huston, tho station-agent, and somo othor witnessos Envu tostimony, from which tho jury arrived at tho following vordict : Tho sald Jur{ do say, ufion thelr oaths, that Edward Beane, conductor of froight-train No, 23, slgnalod en- ineer Joshua Puffonborger, of engitie No, 123, to run from Lomont on the time of train No. 4. Tho two traius collided poar o curvo Just south of fag Drldge, in the town of Lemont, about fiftoen minutes past 1 1. 10, on the 10th inet,, and this collislon caused the donths of tiotio porsonds bud the jury say tho collision. was causcd by the incfictency of conductor E, Boauo, and the carelessnces of tho ‘omployos of the road on the truin, THE CHIOAGO INQUEST RESUMED. The Coroner's jury impanoled to investigato the casos of tho porsons killed at the rocont railroad accident near Lomont, met again yester~ dey morning in o Criminal Court room. flidavits woro read from Dru, Luco, Moore, and Whito, of Bloomington, to the effect thal O'Neill, tho enginecr of the Pnnsonfior train, was o aick from concussion of the brain that ho could not, without dangor, be sent n{: to Ohl- €8g0. Adhpnk:h wad also read from tho rail- rond people at Bloomington to the offoct that Craig, tho man not now on the platform, waa not in their employ, but had promised to go up, From Mr. MoMullen’s statement it appears that this man was for many yoars in tho employ of the Company, wau steady, trustworthy, and atood high, but that ono day ho did what Beano tried to do,—that is, beat anotlier train to a cor- tain point. It was found out, aud ho was at once dismigsed forit, and the oflicers of thoroad have staaly rofused to romstato him. ‘Binco it ha Deen sfated in oue of thepapors that tho porsons in chargo of the road would wink at such an of- fenso, if no harm rosulted from it, thoy hnve deomod it advisablo to put this man on the stand to show what ouncouragement Heano had in his attempt to run on the time of another train. 1t was debated whethor O'Neill's testimony was necossary at all, and whethor what informa- tion he might give had not been furnished by othera, DR. M'VIOKER. Dr, Brock MoVioker, a physiclan living at No. 035 Wabash avonuo, this oity, sald Yarly Bunday morning, about 10 o'clock, T was called Dy the oficers of (ho Alton Itoad, and requoatcd to take geuoral supervision of the injured by thisacol- dent, and soo that thoy had ~everytling mneo- capary for thelr comfort, and that thoy Incked nothing, Mr, Brass waa doad whon I got to liia Liouso, for I id not got thore ¢Ul late.

Tho question of going down to Lemont wns takon up again and discussed florcely, —Mr. Richards snid tho wreck had beon nearly all ro- moved. Ono_juror anxiously inquired if the nagengor ongino was not still thoro. They had r, MoMullon's theory on the subject, and that wasall, Another juror said if they wanted to know tho causes of the accident, and whethor the road should bo blamed ornot, why, thon they ought to do somothing moro than merely find out how these people died. Tho jury was voted, tho rosult being yeas, 6 noys, 6; and the Coroner gave his casting vote in the afiirmativo, and thoe officers of the road started to got the train rendy. .. D. NORTON. Mr, L. D.

Thoy had to fool their way out of tho city, but thoy wont as fast ns thoy could till they roachod the Sag. Ho had taken out his watch and was looking at it by thoe light of o Inmp whon somo one ssid they had.roached the Sng. It wns thon o quartor to 1.

It was nccossary to go slow, on_accountof tho wounded, and thorefore thoy did not arrive till 7. These va- rious corroborating statomonts show that tho doctor, Wwho was_vory busy_at the Limo, must havo boon mistakon. In addition to what Mr. McMullon said, othor gontlemen, Mr. Mills for instance, fixes the dato of arrival at 2 o'cloclk, and the very farthest date givon by sny other porson is 8 o'clock, While on this question of datos, it wns stated that the Willow Springs ope- rator’ would appoar to-dny, and testify, mong other things, that tho conl train loft Lomont two minutoes aftor the other left Willow Springs. . RESPONSIDILITY. The coifversation thon took a difforont diroc- tion.

But, subscquently, while talkin abont another mattor, o oxplaino one of tho inconvenionces of traing meoting on ‘o curve.
