the care exercised by the various transportation
companies in providing suitable means to protect
the lives of their passengers and to relieve the suf
ferings OF those injured by accidents
Nearly all the companies enact salutary rules,
which, If obeyed, would largely diminish the num-
Der of casualties; but the desire to make large
profits causes them to select many incompetent
men, and then we have the inevitable

Mr.. A. T. stewart, who has been alling and con-
fined TO his bed since the oath ult., had grown
siderably worse. A HERALD reporter called on
Dr. White, his attending physician, at halfpast ten
O'Clock last night, to learn the true particulars Of
his condition. The Doctor, who is Mr.. Stewards
family physician, seemed somewhat reluctant to
state the nature OF Mr.. Stewards disease, and
waived our interview on the subject in q very
courteous manner by saying he had just re-
turned from Mr.. stewards bedside and found that
he was convalescent. During the past two weeks
he had not left his bed. Yesterday he was able to
sit up for a short while, and appeared in better
and more cheerful spirits. Only his physician,
with one or two personal friends--Judge Hilton
and his partner, Mr.. Libby-are permitted to see
him. The nature OF his disease Or. White thought

vest disgraceful intimscy with an aban-

hypocrite into situation where his crime was
likely to be exposed to those whose good

storm of passion and threats of terrible ven-

partner in depravity, or some other Of his

bloody catastrophe No one now wonders at
his end. Public interest is simply concerned
in proving precisely who fred the balls which

name and hiding place must be known to
many, and who, probably, has no means for
