raising the amount to make good the
ioss, - that the city should not suffer.
Syraguc's bondsmen, Messrs. Gargur,
Law, Kneizley and Tisdale, came for
ward and pledged themselves TO make

al his property to the city, even TO his
household goods After all these had
been made there was no further neces-
sity to keep the matter quiet any longer.
The deialcation lies between Rodman,
ex-Deputy City Treasurer, who Is re-
ported to be i'll at his residence, and

Conductor Bean Arrested.
Conductor Bean has at last been ar
rested, and is now in the county Jail in
this city. The particulars of his arrest
are as follows Among those deputized
to take him into custody, was S. S.
Miller, merchant in Mouee, Illinois.
Mr.. Miller has been on the lookout for
Bean for several days, aud yesterday
morning he learned from German 10
the neighborhood that Bean had been
seen near town. Following the direc-
tions given, he met his man face to face
about one o'clock yesterday afternoon,
on the road few miles from Monee,
Heat once addressed Bean, saying be
arrested him. Bean said it was all
right and surrendered himself without a
struggle. He was taken to Monee and
carefully guarded until night, when he
was placed in a carriage and the party
started for this city. Miller and q
friend acted as escort. and cousin OF
Beams as driver. A circuitous route
was followed either from fear
of a mob or that the prisoner
might be rescued and the city not
reached until this morning. After q
ride OF some fifty miles when interviews
ed, Bean declined to make any state
ment, except that he expected to come
out all right on the trial He was tired,
haggard and had blood-shct eyes He
seemed willing to converse on anything
except the railroad accident. He said
he was going to give himself up when
arrested, although he did not know
where he was going. The story OF his
arrest substantiates this statement, as
he made it without the slightest reserva-
ton. Bean said further that after !he
disaster, he went to Lsmont, where he
remaiped until morning, when he went
to Joliet, where his wife and children
resiIs with his father. While there q
brother OF Me;zgler, victim OF the COL
lision, attempted TO shoot him. and
several threats of lynching him were
were overheard by tbe family, so that
Bean concluded to 60 10 Monee, where
he had some German friends There
he has been ever since, working on the
farm of German near town.
