O. , July 3. At thrc-o o'clock
this morning , possonger train No. 8 , east
bound , was lying iiuitely at this station.
Something was wrong with the special car
nnd the train crow fathered In a little knot
nbout the end of the car , while the regular
yardman whistled cheerfully as ho tapped
each smoking wheel to bo sure that all was
right before the train , heavily laden with
precious human freight , was forever beyond
his control , Meanwhile there was one upon
whom all their lives depended , Flagman
Boyntou Idling lazily toward the end of the
car , then back Into the night with a lantern
nnd flair to warn off danger from that point.
IIo was not long walking to the end of the
car , not longer than anyone might think
when there wns no danger , and surely
there was no death tn the peaceful , quiet
darkness tlmt stretched away toward the
roar of the train. No , Boynton wns not long
In starting , nnd ho surely wns not long in
reaching n point distant enough from the
' train ho was bound to protect. No matter
' howlonglttook.lt was too long ; no inattor
how far back ho walked , It was not far
enough. There was some dreadful mistake ,
or carelessness , or fate. Thcro was a daz
zling Hash of a locomotive light In the bewil
dered eyes of the rear flagman , a cry of warn
ing when It was too Into , a whirl of wheels ,
nt : awful crash , and deep sllcnca , but only
at n moment. Twenty-ono precious human
lives lost In a moment nnd twenty-four
maimed and Injured. A terrible rear-end col-
lisiou had occurred , nnd the flagman , throw
ing nwuy his lantern , could only hope to save.
Killed and Injured
Following ts a full list of dead and In
jured who but a moment before had boon
sleeping unO dreaming of the morrow or ,

cut delay would last :

IMiikeiip or Iho Train.
The passenger train consisted of nn express
and b.iggngo car , three day coaches , two Pull
man cars mid a special car , and w is nbout
ton minutes Into owing to the trouble with
ono ot the cars. The train nt the tlma of the
accident lay on the Now York , Pennsylvania
& , Ohio main trnuk Just nt the bottom of a
stoop grade , and though the trainmen know
they were followed by No. b2 , n fait freight
filled with Chleacn fresh meat , no one scorned
to think the freight was at their very heels ,
nnd once on the down grade coming to the
station It would bo hard matter to stop , es
pecially as tlio freight did not Intend to mutto
Hnvcnna a stopping place.
What might have boon expected actually
happened. T o freight was making tlmo and
came down the hill with n rush , the engine
and tender bolng hurled through the passen
ger cars.
Iltimnn Holocaust.
When the Associated proas correspo ndent
arrived on the scene a fo\v minutes after tlio
collision thu sight beggared doicrlptlou.
Piteous cries for help aroio from the heap
of wreckage and willing hands were already
tearing at the heap of broken and twisted
timbers and Iron , when a scro.im of horror
nroso from beneath the ruins that sent a
thrill through the hearts of the crowd that
ga thered about. Then hare and thuro the
.X ilarkucas became lit up with no grateful or
* welcome light , as tongues ot llamus sprung
up from the crovlcos of the wrecked train ,
Flro had added a cruel fear aud terror to the
wreck , and tight ns they would , the rescuers
could not drlvo the deadly enemy back from
the victims , who writhed and Implored m
vain for thu help that was willing enough ,
but. alas , far too weak to tear nslde Iron
and timbers before wreck and llamo had done
their wont.
There were few Injured who did not die ,
and very few dead who wore not bruised aud
broken and Blackened and burned out of all
semblance to the form of their maker.
Statement of tlio 1'iiHMMiKor * .
Tom Ilunlo.y of Corning , who wa * In the
fatal rear car with n scorn of brluht , lively
follow glass workers on their way homo to
Corning after a good season's ' work In Ohio ,
sayn It was a miracle that a single ocsupant
of the car escaped to tell of what followed
the crash. "I was half nsleop , " said ho ,
"listening In n Inzy way to the Jokes aud
occasional cheerful growl from ono of our
friends in a corner , vainly attempting to got
some sleep , when I fancied I ho.ird a man cry
out In alarm. Too sleepy to fully Investi
gate , I glanced up and arouirl the car
and sunk back Into the scat.
Opening my oyoi the no > ct mo
ment It seemed as If I tud fallen
asleep and wnkotie.d In another world , I
seemed to feel no shock , only a smothered
crasb ami n dull sensation of piln , roiultlug
probibly from the torrillc blow I received on
the back of the head. Then a realization of
what bud happened c.imo only too soon , as
the most horrible gro.ins and crioi came from
every side from Um poor fellows who an In
stant before had been exchanging some merry
remark. Thou came the lire , and with the
first blaze I stopped my can to the scream
of nnln nnd terror Hint arom I W.M wedged
In by some ono , my friend probably , but ho
wns BO bent , twisted and doubled under the
seat and about my benumbed log * that I
rould not toll what It was except that It was
human and living nt ono time , but dying
now , ns I could catch the gasptmr
breath aid ) death ratlin coming from the poor
fellow's throat. It was terrlylo , but a mer
ciful release , a pnlnless death to what some
of the others had to suffer. Many were
caught and pinioned to their scats or
squeezed ngnlnst the walls of the cur or
against the engine that nad dashoJ Into and
through thu cars. Wherever they were ,
there they stood or lay , pleading In vain for
help aud seeing every motnsut the flames
crooning closer and closer , wm.lini ; about
their llmb.s and llcicing their f.icoj , and ono
by otio their cries were stilled as they gave
up their light for life. My escape wasJsiniDly
a miracle and came about through no effort
of my own. I was for.-od or knocked tow.ird
a break In the c ir and after hard work extri
cated my legs from the mx < s of wreckage
nnd human forms and found myself standing
in the outside air , badly hurt , but ulivo. "
Albert Smith of Corning , N. Y. , who es
caped v/lth a broken leg , tells his ovoerlcneo
ns follows ; "I was In the ro.tr coach asleep.
The stopping ot the train nwoke me. I hoard
the roaring of the meat train and had just
raised the window to look out to see what
was the matter when I was thrown through
the window and.latidud twenty foot from the
car , alighting on my leg and dislocating It.
I fainted from the pain , which had
become Intense.Vhen I came to
I was at the JE'na house and
a surgeon had Just finished setting my lee.
Wllllo ICaln of Brooklyn was sitting In the
seat in front of mo , and It was In answer to
his question of 'What's the matterl' that I
raised the window , which aotprobably saved
my life , as ho was caugh't In the car and
burned to death. "
May Maglll , aiistber survivor , says : "I
wns sitting In the front day couch and sud
denly felt an awfal jar. Some one said it
was the nlr brake nnd everything would ho
all right soon. Just then my brother came
In nil covered with blood and his clothes
torn. Ho told mo wo were all right , but that
the rear coach was destroyed nnd all the
boys were hurt or killed. I could hear the
groans of these who were burning. It was
awful- "
Slukcnln * ; H hts.
There was no delay In ready assistance , but
all efforts were fruitless until the arrival of
the illy fire department. The llatnos could
not bo stayed In their terrible march of death
until water had been poured on thu wreck for
hours , It seemed to the ngonUcd onlookers ,
but in reality all that human power could do
was done then. At daylight a subdued and
fearful crowd of several hundred stood at the
.station gazing with tearful oycs upon a sick
ening sight , while all about them was n
smothering , awful o'lor of burning
human llcsh , arising from a mis ? of
ulackonod , heaped up wreckage. Now and
then ono's eyes chanced upon little shrej * of
clothing or soared llesh and bones , of little
piles of what nih'lit have been numan , each
and all hhickeuod and roasted to a horrible
degree.
Probably the most fearful sight of any , If
any ono could bo wor.so than the ether , was
the appearance of thu boiler of the freight
engine. At the llrst shook thu front und of
the boiler wns broken In and as tno engine
ploughed Itself through the mass of humanity
four poor fellows were actually scooped up In
the cauldron , wounded and helpless , nnd
there they lay slowly roasting to death before
fore the very eves of Iho spectators who
would but could not aid thorn , These were
afterwards fished out plecotnoiL by the fire
men's hooks and mercifully covered with
sheeting.
IScinovIni ; the Victim .
Aid for the wounded was soon on handbut
for the dead there was nothing but to hldo
thorn from sight ns soon ai possible. The
handsome Aetna building was transformed
Into u morgue , and as the masses of burned
flesh were hooked out they were hastily re
moved there nnd cither stretched at full
length or huddled in little hcapj. An enor
mous crowd had gathered about the morgue ,
but the doors were closed. Some morbidly
uurlous crept ut ) to the windows , only to full
back at what they had seen nineteen re
mains of what hud been human , covered with
shootings , throuirh which n bare , blackened
limb now ami then protruded , white
blood soaked through tbo whlto cloth ami
puddled on the lloor , while Coroner Sherman
with his assistants stepped from ono to the
other searching for letter or sama means of
Idi'ntl fyIng ono muss from the other. This
was dinicult. for in half dozen Instances the
entire head had been burned off , leaving only
the blackened mink , grim and gtutly , defy
ing all efforts at identification. Their names
nnd other data could only ha secured from
their surviving friends. No ono could tell
ono trunk from the ether , ns all hnd become
alike In their common fato. Among the entire
nineteen beheaded , dismembered bodies , but
two retained anything rcsumbllng tno fea
tures of a human being.

It was hero In the morgue that the most
touching und awful discovery of the night
wai made. The coroner tenderly removed
from ono form the clotted shoot and beneath
It was the unmistakable body of u wonviii ,
und , wont of all , clasped In her armi ai If to
shield Its young limbs from the Ilanioi that
had evidently consumed both , was an Infant

until thn last , and oven In death her black

was In progress all night last night. It was
longnfter midnight before the prosecution
finished Its work of showing wherein Uov.
Chnmberlin had been swindled out of his
property by the Atwoods. When ho had lln-
Inhed thn defense made Its statement ot the
case and put Chambcrlln under a rod hot
cross lire , which lasted several hours , ending
along toward daybreak , The principal wit
nesses for thu dofcnso were the Messrs. Atwood -
wood nnd their wives , the latter Mulshing
their testimony and leaving the prayer room
of the church , where the trial has been In
progress , after daylight this morning.
Concerning the Seattle coal lands deal It
appears from the evidence that Chamborltn
misunderstood the character of it. Ho sup
posed he was purchasing with the $ Ib,0X ( )
ii.ud to the Atwoods an Interest in the
lands and would got n deed there
for , when ho really only got an Interest -
torest In an option on It , or a share of the
commission which would accrue , provided a
sale was made. The Atwoods testified that
they made no attempt to conceal the nature
of the instrument ; that the minister bought
with his eyes wide open ; tlmt the proposi
tions made him were made In good faith , bo-
llovlng they would redound to the financial
benefit of nil concerned. The defense in
sisted that they tnado no representations that
would load Chamberlain to think ho was
getting anything but n share In the option
theyheld. . The testimony of Mines. Atwood
confirmed that of their husbands. They said
from the conversations they had had with
their husbands they received the informa
tion that Chamberlain had been sold an
option only In the coal lands.
At 70 : ! ! this morning tno defense rested the
case and the jury , after n short deliberation ,

to Tin : Bnu. ] Governor Thayer was asked
to explain the charges regarding the disposi
tion of the fees of bis office made in an Omaha
paper today , and spoke as follows :
"Not a fee of any kind has over como into
my hand from any source while I have been
governor. The issuing of , commissions for
commissioners of deeds in other states wns
attended to by my clerk , Mr. Ferris , and I
supposed every fee had been deposited with
the treasurer. All fees for commissions as
notary public are paid directly to the treas
urer before the commissions" signed.
"No fee has been charged for
issuing requisitions. There are only
three or four , or" " very few ,
stales , according to ray recollection , that wo
have charged fees for issuing warrants in
"
answer rcquisitionsi from those states.
The other states charged us no foes and wo
reciprocated. My private .secretary has al
ways attended to ttat branch ot the busi
ness , after I had passed upon the requisition ,
and has collected whatever fees were paid.
The amount which ho had received prior to
January 8 last was some fifty odd dollars.
This amount ho expended in the incidental
'
expenses of the ofllce.'fo'r which ho has the
vouchers. That amount should have boon
deposited with the treasurer , but my private
secretary was not aware of the fact
that ho was required so to do.
I bad supposed that alt the fees were depos
ited with thu treasurer. That was his mis
take. It was made through not knowing
that they should have bcou deposited In the
treasurer's office.

Public exorcises were hold at the null this

ered the oration , nnd among ether things
said :
Mr. Provident and Comrades : Since our laht
annual meeting death has removed from our
inldHtono who has frequently been our hon
ored guest , one who Is universally iicqorded u
C ! > sltlon its OIHI of the groate. t and purest'of
American genoruls. Our love for General
Sherman , personally , and our admlrnt'on for
his great military genius will grow brighter
as the years roll by and us each year brings
forth now Incident" In his wonderful career.
The most dlllloult question a government
like ours has to encounter In tlmo of war Is
the proper treatment by the government and
the army of the press of the country. No ad
ministration In this country can curry on n
great war without the active and eainest aid
of the press. It is this tremendous power
which Keeps allvo the patriotism of the pio-
plo , supplies recruits loom-armies , und money
to our treasury. And yet a soldier who at
tempts to point out tlio evils that besot our
army durliur the war , without speaking of
these wobiilTered from thu action of the piess ,
would bo an ariant coward. These evils , of
course , nro far gieatcr under a republic ,
where the liberty of the press lh jealously nnd
properly guarded than under a monarchy ;
and yet , under the monarchies of Em-ope , the
course of thu press In recent years has be
come almost Intolerable.
At the commencement of our conflict u ven
erable , Ulnd-bcarted old philanthropist , who
hated war and everything poitalnlnx to It ,
seated In a little room on an upper lloor on
Spruce street In Now Yorlc , Issued u puiemp-
tory order for a movement uualnst thu enemy
ut mill Hun. No oflicor dared to oppose the
edict. I was In Washington at thu tlmo com
manding nearly a thousand young men from
tins Btuto. None of them ha'l been drilled as
soldiers o\euot for u few days , and not one-
half uf them had humi tmu'bt to lO.ul and lire
the miserable old Austrian muskets with
which they were armed. The Inevitable result
followed. Over one-tenth of these bovs wen1
loft on thu Held either -killed or uounded.
without having done any real good to thu
country : but wo hud obeyed the orlersofa
good old nuin who deeply repented and hum
bly apoloxl/od fur his action.
lu ) rlnu'tho war cot respondents of ( Impress
accompanied nil our corns and divisions and
most uf our brigades. In many cases they
weru on terms of thn utmost Intimacy with
thu commanding officers. In n very short
time many of these correspondent * were nn-
Hlgnctt to stair duly and Itupt up their charac
ter us correspondents nt tlio Hiiinu time. The
losult was a dally revelation of eerets which
should have been carefully preserved , thn
promoting of dlicord atnonii ollk-urs and
uf Jealousies between the different com
mands' . Month by month they bocarno
moro Independent and morn delimit of
military authority. I'lnally , In the
sprlm ; of 1SW3 , a correspondent of DUO
of the leading papers of Nuw York nub-
llshed statements n to the stronidh of ( ien-
cral Shciman's command , his contemplated
movements etc. , all of which It was Important
to kcup secret. At last ho openly abused
Sherman and some of his officers highest In
r.ink , and his letters were published , ami thu
papers containing them weru soon distributed
throiiL'h the camps , t'pon being remonstrated
with , ho oponlv defied fchutnmn , wiylng to
him : "Wo newspaper men uro u fraternity ,
bound together by a common Interest , and we
must and will writu down any man who
Htnnds In our way. "
Sherman replied : "And 1 belong to a fra
ternity that can put down nt least one news
paper man. " and tblH ho preceded to do by
ordoilng him to leave oninp. ami telling him
if ho caught him within the lines again he
woul \ ham ; him. The man aubsu.iitmlly | ap-
pciiled to President Lincoln to revoke Sher
man's older , unil permit him to accompany
the iiriny. whose eoiiim indur ho bail defied.
Hut Sherman was sustained by General Urnnt
and President Lincoln , and from that date to
thu close of thu war there was less vilification
of the ollliors , fuwur attempts to destroy the
eonfidimcc , not only ot the country , but of the
army. In our military lenders.
Th'o iiiiestton will bu asked. Why aliudoto
these iidl matters , thu war buliiK now closed'/
I allude to them because I hopu tn seu our
conntiy. If It becomes Involved in w.iranaln ,
start with thu ullluleney and military skill
that It possossu I nt the close of Iho war.
Many of thu evils that busut our pathway

I hno heard u body of ollluiirs many times
discussing in a vehement manner , and In thu
presence of their subordinates , ijnestlons re-
latlnt ; to the policy uf thu administration. 1
recall vividly to mind mm Instance In connec

matlon. It wiib denounced by many olllccrs in
thu strongest terms. 1 allmlii to thU
only IIH an lllubtr.itlon. other mat

Charles Doyol , a butcher , chiimod ho had
received no Inlet est upon his deferred bills.
The board adjourned till Tuesday next
at 1) ) a. in.
The soisions of the investigation have been
nttomlou by a number of citizens. The ef
fect upon Ilium has boon most pronounced.
They have been led to appreciate tlio gravity
of the charges made against the management
nil the moro because it has been sought to
disprove them by means of the testimony of
those who have hold contracts for supplying
the institution with goods nr whoso positions
depend upon their favorable testimony. In
cither enso , the testimony was that of Intor-
ojted parties. Such as It was , It failed to
answer any material point made by the com
plaining witnesses , it aimed to prove that
the institution wrs most admirably managed ,
yet each witness admitted under cross ex
amination , that ho or she knew nothing
whatever , us regards the details of the busi
ness.
It aimed also to show tlmt Mr. Llvorlng-
house was an Indefatigable laborer , and that
when heMIS not noring over the books at
midnight he was laying sewers or digging
post-holes. The hitter two ci'iipations , how
ever , arc generally considered uncalled for
on the part of a steward , especially one who
claimed the books ho received were three
months botiimt. According to his own state
ment , the books were behind up to last April ,
so mucli so , Indeed , that he urges It as an
excuse for not being able to llguro up and
pay the interest duo on the deferred wages of
the employes.
People who heard this testimony wanted
to Know why Livcringhouso assumed the
duties of bookkeeper unless ho was able to
discharge thorn. Phey ulso wonueied why n
bookkeeper who was betilnd In his books
should exhaust his cnnrplos it building sewers
ers and digging holes , and then expect to bo
credited with great application.
The investigation liuio was made noticeable -
able by the absence ot the Individuals who
have enjoyed the rare pleasure of furnishing
the asylum with goods. When It was
thought they might bo called It was reported
that bv a singular coincidence they had loft
the city and returned somewhat later. If
the management should put thorn on the
stand they will bo required toshow why they
charged falioy prices for groceries , drugs unit
other things and how It was that they and no
others wore selected for the privilege of sup
plying tfio board. It will scarcely do for
thcso gentlemen to appear before the bo'.ird
without a number of ready and rcliablo an
swers to u numoer of very Important ques
tions.
tions.Whon
When the board moots next tlmo now cvl-
denco will bo Introduced , of which but a hint
only has thus far boon given , it will bo sub
stantiated by facts and figures ami will bo
decidedly intorcstini ; reading.
The board loft lieio this morning , return
ing to Lincoln. It nero with It what Is sup
posed to be a btindlo of ohocKs and vouchers.
These documents were requested on the lirst
day of the investigation. Mr. Llvcrlugbousa
said ho would llnish tiioin the next day. But
they failed to arrive. A second tlmo they
were expected nnd u second time they failed
to arrive. Last , Tuesday they were called
for again and Llvuringtio'uso inndo a pretense
of handing them over , but some episode in
terfered which prevented him from accom
plishing his purpose.
.Yesterday Secretary Allen again demanded
the chocks nnd vouchers. Livorlnghouso
went to his co.it pocket , pulled out a amall
bundle of whlto and yellow paper , walked
over to the secretary's table and deposited
the package.
No doubt was entertained that the bundle
contained the instruments sought. V-'hon It
wns opened , however , it was found that tho-
wllv gentleman had nunln secured a delay.
What ho had been nskcii for were t
the checks which has been returned.
to lam ns steward from the bnnks
together with the vouchers upon which were
based the duplications and other Items In the
cash account. Instead , there were two
vouchers for the services of the hor.so of hh
mother-in-law , one amounting to fM ) and the
ether to f II ) . The latter of Uicso bore no date.
There were also vouchers fcr the services
of fi younger member of the Livcnnelioiiso
fumlly and two or three others of an unim
portant character. For checks appeared
about n do/on for W each p.iyablo to the
postmaster for stamps and about an equal
number of receipts of Wells , Fargo & Co.'s
express.
Beyond the hnrso voucher nnd that for
young Llvorlnghouso's services there was
not u thing In the paokago which had bcou
requested.
When this discovery was made thoio was
disgust upon thn Icaturo of every meinbor ot
the board of public lands and buildings.
They got together and decided to make one
moro effort to Induce Llvcringhouxo to com
ply with their request , and tlio following
