COLLIER!) IN THE CUT.

 

The Ghost Train nun Into the Bear End
of an Accommodation.

The details of the collision on the Con-
solidated railroad at New Haven, shortly
after bo’clock yesterday afternoon, re-
ferred to briefly in Tun SaNranL's talc-
gsaph columns, are as follows:

The Boston express via the Air Line,
commonly known as the Ghost train. is
due to leave New Haven at 4:59. Yet-
terday local train No. 222, on the
Hartford division, which is due to
leave New Haven at 5 o’clock, pulled
out ahead of the Boston train. It
stopped in the cut, between Hamil-
ton and Wallace street a, to wait for
signals. For some reason the rear
brakeman. who always acts as the flag—
man, did not go back to flagthe express.
In consequence the express train came
along at such a rate of speed that the en-
gineer could not stop in time to avoid a
collision. The engine, No. 120, ran into
the rear of the accommodation and was
derailed. The pilot of the engine was bro-
ken o and the frames and braces were
beat. me damage was also done he-
twen the engine and tender The plat-
forms of cars 522 and 588 of the accomo—
dation were entirely demolishéd. No
one on either train was hurt.

The wrecking train was telephoned
for and very soon responded, and the en-
gine was put on the track in fiftnn min—
utes. James Allen was engineer of the
“ghost" train. Fireman Clark jumped
from the engine and sprained his ankle.
The conductor on the “ghost" train was
John Batchelor. ‘ Jesse n. Cancun, for-
merly of South Nor-walk, was the con-
ductor on the accommodation.

The two damaged cars of the accommo-
dation train were taken back and others
substituted. Another engine was sent
out and the "ghost" train pulled out
about 8:30 o’clock.

”ARIES.

Mrs. Matilda Wuerz, whose husband
has a summer residence here. is in the
insane asylum at Blackwell’s island, the
result, so Thomas J. Purdy, her lawyer,
says. of cruel treatment at the bands of
her husband. Dr. Douglas. of Bellevue
Hospital, diagnosed her case us alcoholic
insanity. According to the lawyer, the
husband's crowning act of inhumanity
was the abduction of the two little
Wucrzes, Ethel, aged four years. and
Irene. aged two years, from the flat, No.
41') West Eighty-second street, New
Mark. Tenants in the louse any that
whichrs. Wucrz was out buying gro-
cericsthe husband, William Wuerz, jun,
broke into the flat and pissed the chil-
dren through the window to a friend
outside. The,- thrzes were married in
August, 15%, but ll. was not until Feb. G,
1890, that young Wuerz told his parents
of the wedding. There are two sides to
the Slfl'y’, and both are, lllltl by the papers
inll.i~l'llt for separation which the hint.
band has brought in the Superior Court.
He says that for several years his wife,
has been a lmbitlmldrunlrcrd. In March
Hill), he says, she left home one morning,
and nit-r several hours he went out to
look for her. He says he found her very
drunk at No. Illll Westil‘orrymintb street.
She had a four-inch cut on her arm in
which stitches had been taken. ”th
head was in llllntlfllzfll. lie took her
home in a carriage. Mrs. Wuerz denies
all the charges in answer to the com-
plaint. and says that her husbsnd's
cruelly drove her to seek protection with
friends. She says she had to pawn her
clothing and jewelry h buy food for
herself and children. She charger her
husband with a love for gambling horse.
racing and policy-playing. and says he
never contributed a cent for her support.
Sherayahe has kicked and beaten her,
and threatened to kill her while chasing
her around the room with knife in hand.
In all these things, Mrs. Wuerz says, her
[husband who, encouraged by his mother,
who disliked‘her daughter-in-law from
the day of the wedding.

During the celebration, Tuesday night,
six wheelbarrow, a mortar bed and a
