WRECK AFTERMATH
Funerals Of the Dead and Condition of
the Injured-Notes of the Day.

The funeral of Joseph Clifford was
held Sunday afternoon at 2 O'Clock at
ST. Pauls church in Valparaiso, and
was very largely attended. Several
were present from Plymouth.
Charles Courier, whose name is also
given as Coyer, was buried at the
same time, funeral services being held
at the home of his brother in Valp-
araiso. He was not married las had
been reported.
The remains cf Howard p. Compton
received burial In the presence of a
very large crowd at Larwill Sunday.
He wa- born and raised near there
and left many relatives. The scenes
at the funeral were very affecting.
The injured men are all getting
along as well as could be expected, no
unfavorable symptoms having appear
ed in any case. Mead Logan issuffer-
ing more titan any Of the others, his
wounds being of very painful char
acter.
Work on the grade was resumed as
though nothing lad happier ed, but
far greater care will be taken here
after to prevent a repetition of the
disaster. The construction company
has often urged the railway officials
to issue orders for the trains instead
of compelling them to ''sneak" to and
from work without any right of way
on main track, as they have been do
ing all summer. 1t is now hoped that
arrangements will he made to give
orders for the work trains.
1t appears to be certainty that
the headlight on the freight engine
was dark when the disaster took
place. The engineer screened his
light while he stood on the siding to
let the fast passenger train 60 by and
when he pulled out on the main track
he neglected to remove the screens.
A brakeman was posted on the front
end of the caboose of the work train
as a lookout; had the headlight been
exposed he would have seen it in
ample time to get his train out of the
way and the accident would have been
avoided.
That twenty or thirty men were
not in the wrecked caboose at the time
of the collision was mere happen-so,
for it usually brought that many in
on its evening run. The fact that
the second work train was running so
close behind and could pick the men
up probably led Conductor Compton
not to wait for them. Half dozen
of the civil engineers, who were in
hurry to get in and be ready for the
concert at the opera house, missed the
train by half a minute and some of
them started to run for it. 1t was
the train they almost invariably took
and it was at first supposed by the Of
ticials in Plymouth that they were on
it and killed or hurt.
Frank Simonton, freight engineer,
and Engineer Carpenter of the con-
struction train sustained Slight injuries
that were not reported at the time.
The former leaped from his cab into
a box car on the siding and bruised
his shoulder, and the latter's face was
cut and bruised. The injury to Fire
man VanBuskirk's arm is not at all
serious.
Charles Curriers' mother and tire
sisters were dependent on him for
support and he was much elated over
the fact that he was to have been
promoted next Saturday with good
increase in salary.

The Campbell case as we have said,
resolved itself into question of iden-
tity. The little girl described the
dastardly offense clearly and with en-
tire self-poSseSsion and other wit
nesses testified to the arrest of Camp
bell and the efforts made to identify
him. He was positively identified by
the little girl, by one of her little girl
companions, and by John L. Brown,
the liveryman. The evidence showed
that Campbell had sandburs on his
clothing of the same character as the
sandburs growing in the locality where
the crime occurred, but it also showed
that he had been until the day before
working In sandburs along the rail-
way. 1t was stated that the guilty
man wore a red handkerchief about
his neck, but no such article could be
traced to the prisoner. Some Of the
witnesses said that Campbell had a
stubby growth of beard at the time of
his ARES, but it appeared that he
had been shaved that same morning.
There was also some question as to the
color of the trousers worn by the man
who assaulted the girl as compared
with those worn by the prisoner.
The little victim of the crime is
possibly the youngest child who was
ever permitted to testify in case of
this character. Judge Capron was in
grave doubt about allowing her to be
heard and examined her closely to de-
termine as to her intelligence, MEM
DRY and power of expression. With
out her testimony it is probable that
the prosecution would have failed.
The defendant was put upon the
stand and told of his employment on
the railroad, of his long carousaI on
the day of the crime and of his where
abouts at the time it occurred. He
said he had crossed the river and
sauntered aimlesSly on the south side
as stranger would, and that he kept
on the west side of Michigan street.
He never saw the child until he was
confronted by her after his arrest.
He declared, amid SObS and with tears.
that he is not guilty and declared that
If he were guilty Of such an act be de-
served no trial and should be strung
lup. He said that he is the victim of
circumstances. Campbell was minute
ly cross-examined. He said he was
born in Elktart and left there when
child and has lived in South Bend,
having lived thirty years in Boston.
He is forty-six years old and has been
a laborer, chiefly on railroads. He
told a wild tale of the tin-star detect
i've class about a stranger calling him
to the Jail window one day and telling
him that his partner in the carousal
had been secured against him for the
use q. the state in the trial. His
partner has disappeared.

Pressed last evening as to who. in his
opinion would be elected president of the

speak further for publication, saying
that his remarks had been garbled and
misquoted to an extent that was morti-
flying. t.

Aid Hunt was visitor at the city hall
yesterday and Immediately on his en-

both the board of aldermen and the as

ternoon of June 6. The object of the
meetings is the reorganization of the
two bodies and the election of presi-
dent for each.
With next Tuesday, the date of the
big show. the selection of an executive
for the combined bodies, speculation is
rife as to who TIE winner will be. At
the caucus of the Democratic members
Tuesday evening Dr.. Schiffmann was
unanimously picked for reelection, but
the Republicans refuse to concede it,
claiming that Aldermen Bantz and Hunt
will refuse to stapd, by the caucus nomi-

In his interview. given last night, Aid.
Bantz says he has, been nnisquoted as to
his position in che matter, but while
MS answer is somewhat indefinite, the
inference almost indicates that he will
be all right When thef proper time comes.
Aid. Hunt however, has talked little,
and has been hating. considerable fun in
keeping his colleagues guessing as to
where he will be onselection day.
Both Warner and Benson, of the as
sembly, were busy yesterday with the
Republican members, and from accounts
are carrying around prospective
scheme by which they hope to bring the
prize into the Republican camp. Warner,

aldermen stands between ATessrs. Dobner
and Huber. The latter, it is said, has

the last sign of recognition shown by
the rapidly sinking man. For three days
he had been unable to take any solid
nourishment, and it was with difficulty
that he was able to. take small quanti-
ties of liquid food.
TIE his attending physician, DR., E. J.
Geer, and to other physicians who saw
him from time to time, the vitality dis
played by the late ME-. Mayall was most
marvellous. Several days ago a prorni-
nent physician after seeing him said that
death was a matter of a few hours, but
the dying mans rallying power was
something almost beyond belief. Up 20
four days before the fatal summons
came he was able to converse intelli-
gently with friends who called, and al
though failing rapidly, he preserved a
cheerfulness which was remarkable I'M
der the circumstances. .--..,
Mr.. MayalTs funeral will be held from
the family residence at o'clock tomor-
row afternoon. The paIIbearers selected
are J. P. Allen, Lorenzo Hoyt, A. NJ.
Metcalf, Fred Ford Peter Blakely and
P. w Hudner. Interment will be at
Oakland cemetery and will be private.
SOURCE OF TROUBLE.
Last November the great toe on his
right foot became very sore and seemed
to have been poisoned. Mr. Mayall. who
was an unusually robust man, paid but
little attention to the apparent Slight af-
Fiction until a month or two later, when
it became very painful. He then at
tempted to relieve the pain by lancing
the toe and it became very much worse.
Medical aid was summoned and it was
found that Mr.. Mayal was suffering
from senile gangrene, and that there
was no hope for his recovery. lie was
informed of his condition and bore the
of
bravely. Methodically, as he had al
ways acted in life he arranged his af-
fairs and Summoning his Son, Herschel,
who at the time was in Detroit, placed
all of his affairs in the sons hands.
Calmly he awaited death. His remark
! able vitality was a source of wonder to
| his physician, but gradually the disease
MADE its fatal encroachmentS until he
finally succumbed.
HIS LIES SKETCH.

CHICAGO, May 29.-The doom Of tho
single overhead trolley system in the
United States was apparently foreshad-
owed today by Special Master in Chan
Gerry Frank L. WeaE. when he filed his
report in the noted Peoria electroiys

chancery the street railway comp5n es
Of Peoria directly. and all traction ines

rectly, will be compelled TO substitute Il
double wire, giving 4 return circuit with

Wean, after an exhaustive investigation
and hearing Of about three years, dur
ing which testimony was taken in many
Of the large cities of tne United States,
rules that the current from the Eing-e
trolley wires escaping into the ground
causes the dccOmp position Of water pipes
and that the Peoria Water Works com
