Great Carelessness Manifested.
CHICAGO, August 10, 1874
The Coroner's investigation OF the recent
collision on the Chicago and Alton Railroad was
resumed this morning. The principal witness
examined was John PuGenberger, engineer OF the
coal train locomotive.
His testimony showed that that particular
train had been run In q careless manner ON the
night OF the accident He says that he looked his
watch upon arriving at Lemont and found that he
had plenty OF time to run to Willow Springs, fifty
when he lett Lemont. He told the con-
ductor, Bean, that he was going on TO
Sag TO take Ia water, and the latter
answered, Gan right; 60 ahead" The collision
occurred twenty minutes afterward. He then CON-
pared his watch with those of some men on the
passenger train ana found 1t an hour slow.
he could not account for the condition OF hts
watch; he would not have left Lem0nt II he had
had the correct time; even though the conductor
gave him orders he did not consider Bean
ut to run any train. The witness detailed
some conversation he had with Bean after the &C
cident, from which 1t would appear that Bean was
totally ignorant OF the time at which the collision
took place and the circumstances attending the
catastrophy Bean has not yet been arrested, but
the police authorities are on his track.
The general feeling throughout the city Is that
an example should DC made Of the engineer and
conductor.
