THE RAIL HORROR NEAR JACKSON.
i Especial Telegram to the Globe
JACKSON, Mich, Oct. 12.-The investiea
tions into the causes that led to the horri
bic accident, and brought sadness into man,
homes, is now the chief point of interest
1t is still progressing and will be carried OF
until every motion and every motive of tn,
men who shared in the responsibility of thu
care of the approaches of the jackson rail
road on Thursday is sifted to the bottom
and thoroughly examined, SO that the vic
Tins and the public may know exactly upo1
whom the terrible accident may rest. The
conference was concluded this morning and
the inquest began before Coroner Cook
with the best jury ever chosen in this city.
The tendency of the evidence thus far is to
show that the unfortunate engineer, Mill
George, Yardmaster Cowell, Switchman
Sawyer, and Engineer Jones are all equally
guilty of mistakes if any were made. That
some rules were neglected and some WRONG
calculations made and bad judgment used, is
very evident. The wounded are all in good
hands, the railroad companies doing all in
their power to relieve them and supply their
wants, not as right or in satisfaction of
| olo H,,%1 ho ;,,kar of I.
manity. Mr.. Russell, one of the attorneys
of the road, is attending directly to that
| business. No adjustment of claims has been
| or will be made until the survivors have en-
| tire]y recovered. The wives of the express
man, Carlisle, and baggageman, Bennett,
have arrived from Detroit and are with them.
Willie Rice is improving, and his cousin,
Arthur Rogers, will soon be up to take
charge of him.
