THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.


Medical Examination of the Little Plies of
Ashe Collected from the Ruins.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. pa Los Angeles
dispatch says: yesterday evening DR.. Ross
commenced the work of carefully examining,
for the first time, the bodies which had been
picked up at the wreck. The word bodies
as here used, signifies a portion OF the human
form; in many instances a handful OF
whitened bits of bone being all that remained
of what had been a form. DR.. Ross made the
following discovery: some of the boxes in
which were placed what was supposed to be
human remains contained charred and
cooked flesh of beef or mutton. After a
careful examination it was concluded
that six of the boxes possibly contained
no human remains, and of one more there
was such doubt hat he and DR.. Kurtz this
evening made an examination of supposed
human remains, which resulted in pronounce
ing absolutely seven more not of human
flesh.
GA duplicate chart of the passengers in the
sleepers shows that every one who took pass
age is accounted for. Charles r. Pierson,
Wright Porter, Ferdinand Brumford and
Keegan, ex7soldiers. were killed without any
~dishguring or mutilation, and hence clearly
known. The remains of Colonel Larabia
have been positively identified; also, those of
Miss M E. Squires, Mrs. Downey and
Lawrence, porter of the through
sleeper. Enough has been brought
to light to identity the remains of
L, Weberet, and those of H. Oliver. These,
added to the recognized remains of Mr..
S~chliughyde, who boarded the doomed train
at Fresno, make the number dead accounted
for twelve. Two bodies still remain unrecog-
nized, and the clues for Identification are so
slight that it is possible they will never be
known. The remains may have been those

SAN FRANcTsoo, Jan. 23.-The following
dispatch from Candelain puts a different face
on the robberies reported from Carson: John
Cheatovich's store at Silver Peak, New, was
attacked on the night of the Dist by two men
named Rockwell and Tex, They were re-
pulsed By the inmates of the store, who sus-
tanned no injuries. The robbers were pur-
sued by Indians and killed, next day, at
Tule Canyon, about sixty miles south of
Silver Peak. There was no disturbance at
Gold Mountain, as far as known. Rockwell
was a relative of the notorious Porter Rock
we'll, OF Utah. Tex has always had a reputa-
ton OF being a cowboy,

Tho Danger of Overinsurance.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis JOurnsd:
| note that Senator Spann has introduced
the insurance commission bill concerning
insurance, and at the same time 1 note the
arrest of a man at Milwaukee on suspicion of
having set fire to the Newhall House, his al
legged motive being that he had an excessive
insurance on his stock in the house, which he
could collect by a fire. This brings sharply
to my mind some provisions in the first draft
of the bill directed at thisu nquestioned evil to
the public of overinsurance. Mr.. ID. A. Head.
second vice-president of the Home Insurance
Company of New York, in an address at
Chicago before a convention of insurance
men, two or three years ago, gave it as his
the losses paid by insurance com anies
is the result of wIllful burning of
property to obtain insurance. This figure is
reached by adding the entire loss occasioned
by willful burning, and includes the burn
ing of contiguous property. For instance,
the Milwaukee man, if he fired the New hall
House, caused q loss of perhaps several hun
bred thousand dollars. His own insurance
was very small, but the entire building had
to burn, and many contiguous buildings
might also have burned, IN order to give him
MS insurance. L nave never DelleVeu Mr..
Heads figures correct, though he is one of
the best underwriters in the country. 1t is
excessive. But, without any doubt, such
fires add enormously to the fire loss of the
country. Perhaps if the fires caused by care
lessness-not criminal-which come from the
secure feeling that a fire would not really
be a loss, the insurance being full.
were added, so per cent. would not be ex-
cessive. This is a matter in which the pub
lie and the State has a direct interest. This
country annually loses Srom its fires about
one hundred millions worth of property.
The taxables are so much reduced, and it is
to the interest of the State to keep all the.
property it has. No other country could
stand this enormous loss as this country can,

Death in Extreme Poverty.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23.-Major George Coal
back, at one time connected with Governor
Hunt and Others in railroad enterprises in
Texas and Mexico, died in an old stable in
San Antonio, Tex, on Sunday night, unat-
tended by any one except a poor woman and
two little children who lived in the hovel.
Papers among his effects show him to have
been a major on General McPherson's staff
daring the war. He was greatly reduced in
circumstances and entirely out of money
when he died.

MIR. HORACE HEFFREN.
What Is Going to Be Done About His Boast
of Treason.

General Reub Williams, In Warsaw Times.
And so Horace HefIren wants to know
what we are going to do about it?" That's
what We want 10 know. Having stated that
Horace was tried for treason, and only
escaped the death penalty by the usual
method of the most guilty one of the crowd
by turning States evidence, to use his own
interrogatory, We ask the Representative
from Washington county, the man who
"peached" on his comrades; the man who, to
save his own neck from the halter; the indi-
vidual who knew so much about the inside
workings OF the Sons of Liberty''-that
reasonable organization that had decided
that the late Governor o. p. Morton Unjust
be putout of the way"-told all the secrets
thai he was sworn not to divulge. What,
Horace, are you going to do about it?'
