The LemOnt Railroad Disaster.

nAShLhssNEss AND IGNORANCE OF THE EN-
GINEER AND CONDUCTOR.
The commissioners investigation of the re-
cent collision on the Chicago and Alton railroad
was resumed Yesterday in Chicago. The prin-
cipal witness examined was John Puffenberger,
engineer OF the coal-train locomotive. His tes-
tmony showed that that particular train had
been run In careless manner on the night of
the accident. He says he looked at his watch
upon arriving at Lemont and found he had
plenty OF time TO run TO Willow Springs-ffty
minutes and over. 1t was exactly O'Clock
when he left Lemont. He told Conductor Bean
he was going on TO Sag to take in water and
the latter answered, Gan right; 20 ahead !"
The collision occurred exactly twenty minutes
afterwards. He then compared his watch with
those or some men on the passenger train, and
found II an hour slow. He could net account
for the condition of his watch. He would not
nave left Lemont If he had had the correct
time, even though the conductor gave him or
ders he did not consider Bean fit to run any
train. Witness detailed some conversation he
had with Bean after the accident, from which
III would appear that Bean was totally ignorant
OF the time at which the collision took place and
the circumstances attending the CATASTROPHE
Bean has not yet been arrested, but the police
authorities are on his track. The general feel
ing throughout Chicago is that an example
should be made OF the engineer and conductor.
THE DEBTS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES are
summarized in the following: In Virginia Gov
ernor walker states that the public debt amounts
TO s26,OOO,OOO. This Is ohe-thrd less than the
amount previously stated, that portion having
been shifted TO West Virginia, which we believe
VIII not assume the responsibility of it. In DC
tober last the debt of North Carolina was stated
at 500 900, 045. The debt of Tennessee in Janua-
~ last was reported at $50, 966, 3S2 it having
been announced at about s32, 900 900 the pre-
ylous year. The difference was in Railroad
bonds that have been liquidated. In South
Carolina considerable difference of opinion
exists as To what the state debt really is but the
largest amount reported is that by the commit
tee OF Congress on southern affairs, in which the
minority report gave it at 800, 1888 9I4. Georgia.
debt on January LIST was SIS 961, 500, with a liza.
bility TO be increased if certain projected rail
ways should be constructed. Florida with .
similar liability, has debt of 1852 $50. Mis-

mas total OF S14 800 900, according to the repor1
OF the congressional committee. In Louisiana
IN January !, 1873, the debt was reported nj
81 ,sO1 800 In Texas the debt was 80 $50 227 or
Septe mber 1, last year. The total of these debt,

The Poet.
BY RODNEY RUSTIC.

Oh Bard, whence contest thou,
Thou mightiest of men,
Who taught thee how to WELD such force
With this thy pride, the pen,
Did college walls the gift impart
by study toll and pain
Or had fair nature touched thy heart
With some melodious strain.
The very flowers their petals close,
When thou art passing by;
The blushing violet clover droops,
Beneath the summer sky
The thrush and Robin chant thy praise
In the deep woods leafy green,
And sportive fishes leap for JOY,
In the bright and purling stream.
The squirrel leaps from bough to bough
And chatters notes of glee,
And bright winged warblsrs of the wood,
Gush forth their melody.
Dame nature fairly leaps for Joy,
As loud thy praise she sings,
And seems to say, wen crown our boy,
The worthiest of kings.
