Tho accepted theory among tho railrond mon
In regard to Boanoa insane conduct in leaving
Lomont station on tho time OF tho passenger
train with which his coal trnin coilided is, that
Doano told tho truth when ho said TINT le for
got all about No. f." The reasons for believing
this arc, that It llas been ascortainod beyond
doubt that Deano was sober ut tho time, aud bo-
eause ho had ordora to keep olear of No. !. tho
mail train from st. Louis, which WAS behind ti,uo,
No. hnving got ahead Of him all right, his
miul ras cleared Of the responsibility, aud lo
forgot a!l about tho othor train which was
coming toward him. Unreasonable as this
theory may appear, it is tho only ono that Gun
account for tho collision if Deano vaB tic COM
potent, experienced man Ao ia said to bo, and il
he hadn't taken drop Of liquor which seomB
to be the fAct There are two points which this
theory suggcbtB: II Doauo had an ordor from
the tsain-diapatchor in regard to No. !, he should
also have had IN order IN regard to No. 1, which
WIS nkowiao out Of tilno. A tolograpllio ort1er
in regard to train at tho rear, aud no orlor in
regard to train in front, when al woro running
wild, was naturally calculated to CAUSE Boane to
pay more attention to tho movements OF train
No. tlan to those Of train No. 4. This indi-
cates that the uso OF tho telegraph, except by
regular system, may 10 moro harm. than good,

Male tyrants may well shudder when they read
tho account Of the recent meeting Of Spiritual
lists At Robinson HILL, iu Now York City. The
meeting opened with speech by Mira. Caflin
tho mother Of tho notorious Woodruff. WHO
mado a frantic donunciaton Of Col. Blood, and
finally got go violent that she had to bc stopped
by main force. Thon glib young Indy, na1nod
Dumar, got tho floor, aud, after sailing along
quietly for a fow minutes, got mixed up in tho
Woodruff matter, which again brought AlrH. CIaf-
lin to her feet, who callod Miss Dumar liar, and
had to bo carried, shrioking aud screaming, out
of tho hall. Quiet having boon roRtnrod. A1ina
Dumar onco moro commenced, but with no bet
tor succoss than at first, for sho soon stirred up
Mrs. Milcs, all antagonstic and muscular sistor
Of Mrs. Woodruff, who advanced to the stand,
brandiBhing hor fiat and screaming at the top Of
her lungs, with the evident intontion Of
annihilating tho glib young woman. She,
too, had to bo carried out, and then
tho wholo pack But to screaming
and shouting, and tue meeting anally broke up
in disorder. Considering tho fact TINT this
meeting WAS composed Of women almost ex-
cluaiycly, we repeat that the male tyrants may

Our roa1ers wilt roAdily caIl to mind tho fact
that, on the alBt Of last mouth, n train on tho
Chicago, Rock Island 4 Pacific load WAS wrecle~
cd near Adair, Iowa, by obHtruotions placed Of,
tho track by gang Of disguised dosporalooB ;
that the engineer WAS shot by them and that,
aftor iuti1nidating tho pasBongors tLoy robbed
tho Aafe Of tho exproaH-mossongor and mado
good their eBcapo. Tho systematic manner In
Which tho work was accomplished, and tho s,lc~
cesa OF tho robbors also, not only In making
thoir Immediate eacape but in eluling pubso-
quont pursuit, showed worry ooncluaiyely that
this was not III operation Bot on foot
at hap-hazard, but was tho work Of gang of
th!eyes, regularly organized for railroal rob-.
borlea. Tho developments mado by telegraph
in our issuo Of yesterday, concerning additional
attempts to wreck md rob >traina, confirm aud
establish beyond doubt this fact, that horoat-
tor, unless somo immediate measures aro takon
to proyont 1t, any train on the Far-Woatorn

A dispatch from Now Orleans to st. Louis
paper snys TINT tho Republican, OF tho former
city, publishes m article charging tint the vaAt
boquoats Of John h1cDonough to tbs City Of
Now Orleans havo not bcon accounted for. Nc
Donough was an eccentric old miHor, who had
accumulated an immouse fortune, and who died
aome lftoon yoare ago in tho low settlement op-
posito New Orleans callod Algiers. It Was found
that he had willcd tho bulk Of hiH property to
tho city for educational and charitable purposes
There was ono bequost Of property then said to
DO worth s3,o00,oo0, and now represented to
havc vaho Of $4,000, 600, out OF which only
$4,000 havo boon forthcoming, Out Of another
boquostfof 81,5o0,ooo only 1000 hayo boon
paid. Ho loft 100000 to a certain locality,
which WINS to bo called McDonough, aud not Quo
dollar Of this has boon applied. Such is tho
purport Of tho charge, though 1t is not yot statod
in what mannor tho ynat eBtato has boon do

It ia to bo hoped that the timo ia not fur dis
tant whom tllore will be system Of aigna1s to
warn trains Of tho approach Of other trains
cthor in front or at tho rear. Wo are informed
TINT the Alton Road haa beon in correspondence
With certain parties in Austria In regard to what
are known as block signals" which throw IN
electric light atnight, or signal in the day, ono
mile in front and ono mile to tho rcar, and
change as theBo blochB, or distances, aro
travorscd. These signals arc shortly to be toHtod
on somo portion Of tho Alton Road. 1t would
not bo safo to adopt them without thorough
test OF their efficiency and reliability; for, If
thoy wero adopted and trusted, and yet should
occasionally fail, they might work moro injury
than good. Ono great trouble In regard to cleo
trio Bgnals in this country is found in tho cli-
mntc. Tho climate Of England, and Of most Of
tho Continental countries, il moro favorable to
Tho steady working Of electric signals than our
own, which furnishes no many sudden changes
aud Hoycre storms.

All ircorruptible ofico-holdor las been found
ut last, though tho proof thus fur depends
upon his own confession. His name is Harden

Chapman til~t approached Mrs. 1Iarlenburgh
ard ofsa:od to make her husbands Office worth
sfn0,0u0 t year il he would allow Chapman to
ruin it. The wife, It appears, refused
to lend her influence to any suci1
liberal arrangement. Chapman then wont to
Hardcnburgl1 himself, and laid down before him
q roll Of 525-gold pieces, amounting to several
hundred dollars, but tho honest Surveyor Gem
oral would not touch them. It Is not likely that
Mr.. Hardenburgh would havo dared to admit Ill
this Ind IL not beon for tho fact that Chapman
and other land-grabbels Ind combined to Becuro

It ID too eoon to indulge in Fluctuations over

which that tribo havo agreed to trade off a resor-
vation Of six and n quartor millions Of acres foE

clause in THO Indian Appropriation bill Of 1871

We have Gcen at Eailss to Investigate d charge
Of inhumanity nalo against tho officers Of tho
Chicago l. Alton Railroad, to tho effect that they
withhold information in regard to the Lomont
diaustor from tho friends Of the sufferers. Tho
statement is made that tho friends In Springfield
could not and did not loarn any particulars Of
tho accident until tho arrival of the train from
tho wreck ut o'clock on Sunday afternoon. It
might, with equal truth, 10 said that the people
of Chicago, meaning tho bulk Of tue inhabitantB,
did not know any details OF tho dsnstor until tho
appearance Of the Monday morning papers, bs-
cauBe'tlore was 10 means Of communicating tho
nows boforo their publication. Tho officers Of
the Alton Ronl wore certainly not to blamo for
this. Ii, however, tho statement was intended
to convoy tho impression TINT tho Springfield
friouds Of the dead mud injured woro not ill.,

tho road tho news Of tho death of
AloHsrs. Little and Dayeibliss, and Of tho
sorious injuries. which subsequently, resulted In
death, Of Capt. Smith and Mr.. Fonry, and
directed him to communicate this intelligence
to their friends. Shortly after thia honr, which
must have bnon tho very earlioat moment aftor
tho Superintendent had boou able to reach luis
ofllco from his work Of caring for tho iujurol .
prominent cltizon Of Springfield ca,no to mako
inquiries about tho Springfield people on. tho

rator to HOO whotl.cr tho message had boon go-

hnvo friends OH board tho train, or whoBe
friends, boing on board, wore not injured. It
VIVA not tho duty OF tho Railroal Com
pany to inform tho friends Of tho
nninjurotl; thoso persons should hnyo taken
tho earliest opportunity to inform thetr
families aud friends of tl,oir safety. One Of tho
first things which hIr. MoS1ullen did aftor roaol-
ing tho wroek WAS to get as complete list as
possible Of tho doad aud wounded, and thelr ros-
idoncos. His first concern, aftor reaching Chi
cago and providing for tho sufforors, Was to take
this List, Inform tho frionds and provide means
for them to roach Chicago. We do not bollove
thai my man could havo been moro prompt and
energetic tlan he was, undor tho Ramo ciroum-
stances. Whatevor blame attaches to tho Alton
Railway Company for the collision itaolt, there
Ia no shadow Of inhumanity resting on the off,
GERS after tho nccidont occurred. Everything
which the occaHion demanded, and wlicl, human
RESOURCES could provide, was unquostionably fur
nishod.
