Lucky Negligence.

DETROIT, MIcH, October 2j.-Investi-
CATION to-day Of the collision Saturday
night on the Detroit, Grand Haven and
Milwaukee railroad, by officers Of the
road, revealed the fact that but for the
engineer Of the freight train falling asleep
on his engine while waiting on the siding
a much worse disaster would have hap
pened than did The engineer had been on
duty twenty-seven hours, and though
his orders were to pull out when the
west-bound freight had passed he failed
to do 50, and fell asleep in the cab when told
by the brakeman the switch was open for
him. Had he gone on, he would have
collided with a passenger train while
both were in motion, instead of it running
into the train as it stood on the siding
All the freight train hands testified to-
day that they were too worn out from
lack Of sleep to think Of consulting the
time-card, which would have told them
the passenger train was due. William
Mann, who threw the switch open,
acknowledged he dropped asleep as soon
as he got back to The train.

still more seldom punished.

Controller Garrison of the Land Office,
and Commissioner Sparks has assured
the Treasury officials Of his determination
