Section 4 was made up of a baggage
car, day coach and seven sleepers
containing 400 passengers.
Assistant General Superintendent w
A. Gardner said this morning that he
could not give a tangible reason fol
the accident.
The road is run on a semiphore
block system all the way TO Turner
Junction" said Mr.. Gardner This
blocks a train every 1900 feet and in
addition we were using last night what
we call the positive block system. This
consisted of the operators at haywood,
Wheaton and Turner running the
trains by wire and keeping a close tab
with the dispatchers as TO the time
each passed a station. Then the dis
patcher regulated the speed and dis
lance between trains. OF course, he
was compelled to rely entirely on the
accuracy OF the time checking done by
operators at the stations named and
unless one of these made a mistake,
and transmitted the wrong check time,
either to the next station or to the dis
patcher, / cannot imagine what could
have caused the wreck
Subsequent investigation indicates
that the accident was caused by
Engineer Courtney of section No. 5,
running by the station this side of
west Chicago without having been re-
leased. No statement is obtaina BILE
from Courtney at present as he is too
badly injured to talk
The road between Chicago and west
Chicago is protected by the Hall block
system and Immediately after my ar
rival last night l tested the signals
and found them to be in perfect
order" said Assistant General Super
intendent Stewart. Engineer Court
ney must have been insane 10 pass
without seeing the two danger signals.
These signals are placed LOCO feet apart
and when at night cars pass over the
place where they are situated a red
light shows and any train following
the one which released the swith is
supposed to stop until a white light
shows. There can be no doubt that the
scarlet signal for caution was dis
played.
The injured were carefully removed
TO special train and accompanied by
DIR. Ollens, chief surgeon of the COM
pany. and Z assistants, were brought
to Chicago and taken to ST. Luke's
hospital.

CoRoNER'S INQUEST.

Number of witnesses Examined to Ascer-
tain Cause of Death of Francis Archer.
Coroner o. M. Willis began an inquest
Monday afternoon to ascertain IL possi-
BILE the exact manner of the accidental
death of Mr.. Francis Archer, who
was found with fractured skull at
the foot of the back stairway between
Donelly's saloon and Webers meat
shop. A number of witnesses were
examined, but no startling evidence
was brought out. The testimony ap-
peared to show that Archer had been
in a "club room" over the saloon dur
ing the afternoon before the accident
and had lost few dollars there, pre-
sumably playing cards. Mrs. Hines,
landlady of the hotel where he lodged,
testified that he borrowed two dollars
from her Friday evening with the it-
mark that he was going TO get his
money back where he lost it. 1t seems
that he come down street, looked in at
Donnelly's and went out, from which
time nobody saw him until he was
found unconscious about half an hour
later. The noise of man falling down
the back stairway was heard by several
persons in the vicinity, but no light
could be thrown on the cause of the
accident. Archer must have fallen
down two flights of stairs, from the
third floor to the first. Several men in
the club room which is in the second
floor, heard the noise and ran down to
him. He was unconscious when they
arrived and was carried into Donnelly's,
where he received surgical attention,
as previously related.
DIR. Lambert, who was called to see
him Immediately, testified that in his
opinion the injury which resulted in
Archer's death might have resulted
from such fall as he received. Coro
ner Willis will probably continue the
inquest today.
