SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 1S.-Our cia,zens
are very indignant over the action OF
the officials, both great and small, Of
the Alton Road in keeping from the
public and more from friends of the
victims news of the slaughter Of Sat-
urday night. Passengers who were
on the ill-fated train and who came
down las. night from Chicago state
that until the arrival of the relief train
in charge of Supt. McMullen, every
thing that was done to release them
from the wreck and alleviate the sui
ferings of the scalded victims had TO be
done by unirjured passengers. The
conductor, they say, left the wreck be-

and went to Lamont, to telegraph to
the Superintendent, while the passen-
gers carried the wounded and dying
from the wreck, and with such appli-
ances as they had ministered to their
wants, tearing up the pillow cases from
the sleeping cars for bandages and i'm
promising beds for them.

CHICAGO, Aug. lS.-Major j. w.
Smith, of Springfield, Ills, died at the
west side Briggs House at o'clock
this morning, and was followed by j.
w. Fleury at noon. No inquests have
yet been held by the coroner.
j. Bufenberger the freight engineer,
upon whom partially rests the blame
for the disaster, is at his home in this
city, and has his face badly cut and
bruised, but he is not seriously hurt.
He claims that he had a different time
from the conductor Of the other train,
and believes that in winding his watch
at Lockport the hands got caught. He
thought he had fifty-five minutes to
make five miles. He says he is not
conscious Of having done any wrong.
The funeral of Roger T. Brass takes
place tomorrow morning.
