MR. at'stu11EN's ErATEMENr.
It is tho general agreement of tho doctors |
and others that tho train loft here about

business to hunt up surgeons at night, nnd to
Mullen paronthotlcally remarked that tho Com
everything that was nooaful in such cates il
thoy ovor happened. They had to feol their way
out Of tho city, but thoy wont aB fast ns they

thoy set to work transferring The injured, aud
toa: Then. tho phyeicians having decided !, that
the sutrerors had bottor DO takon buck to Chica-
go, tho train WAS 1nado up, which was difficult
business, Hince tho roliet party not knowing
train behind thom. As appears from
tho dispatches sont, It was d little after

to &C. slow, on eceonnt OF the wounded, and
rious corroborating statotnonts show TINT tho
doctor, who was very busy at tho timo, must
have boon mistaken. In addition to what MIR.

Tho cotfverBation then took q different direc-

OF conductor OF a freight train as moro RESPONSE
bio in many respects thnn TINT Of an expreHs,
since tho lattor had tho right Of way generally,
and oil ho had to do was to march along. Ho
incidentally mentioned also TINT thoy paid wages
Of S125 month. Ho Was opposed to giving
station agents any poWor over trains. Each one
had two men on 1t, who were supposed to bo
competent and that station agents, especially in
Bono placeB, wero not always the mon to be
trusted with authority.
