THE SITUATION AT wAYCRoss.
WAYCRoss, March 19.-In the confusion
unavoidably incident to such scenes, the list

incorrect and overrated. The MORNING

to report the following persons as not killed:
MATTE RAY, Blackshear
FRED MAYNARD, New York.

Flagman JOHN PAPY, Savannah.

unknown negro men.
The list of killed as given by DIR. William
Duncan, Surgeon, of the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western road and Col G.. ID. Owens
traffic manager is official as it contains all
known to have been killed, and
it has been carefully compiled

could have discharged their duties with
greater promptitude and provide, as far as
possible, for the comfort of, and atten-
ton to, the injured and dead than
these gentlemen. Their devotion and
energy has been and is vet
unfagging. They have been ably seconded
by the physicians and citizens of WaycrosS,
who have responded to the needs of the un-
fortunates with that prompt and cheerful
efficiency so characteristic of true men and
women. Their houses and homes have been
thrown open to the wounded, and willing
hands have left nothing undone for their
comfort and welfare.
WORK OF THE DOCTORS.
The visiting physicians have all left WAY
cross, feeling assured that the wounded are
safe in the hads of the resident physicians.
They express their appreciation in the
highest terms of the Invaluable aid and
kindneSses so freely given them by the
noble-hearted men and women of Waycross
and Blackshear, and they assure those
people of their heartfelt gratitude
for the same. The trestle across Hur-
ricane creek has been repaired, and
trains Nos. II and rs passed over it this
afternoon, No. II reaching here soon after
No. q via Brunswick. While some of the
wounded are yet in a critical condition, the
outlook for all is hopeful. The unusal de
mands made for the past few days on the
telegraph operator of the Brunswick and
Western road, Mr.. Stanton, have been very
trying, yet he has met them promptly.
Mr.. L. p. Wilbur and son, w. A. Wilbur.
are both so far improved as to be walking
about town this afternoon.
