" .Was a serious collision of two trains on the ,.

not fatal, injuries to a number of passen-

engineer, and George Elliott, fireman
The gravel train cars were streWn about
the track and the frOnts of both en
gine's were badly. battered. There was
great excitement about, the depot. It was
' feared the wreck would take fire, and the
fire engine companies were called "out and
The injured were‘attended by Dr. George
-H. Magness. Fred Strang, the engineer
Of No. 333, is suffering from shock and in-
Iternal injuries, as is also his. fireman,
GeorgeElliott. Engineer Gedrge Fowler,
of No. 800, was cut about the face and
head by flying glass. Mr. Benjamin Havil
and wife, of New Haven, are suffering
'frOm shock and facial cuts. Henry Odell
aged eleven of Hartsdale, suffers from
scalp Wound and shock. Nestoy M
Slain is badly shocked.
The engineers of both trains say they
were signaled that everything was all
right, and lay the blame to the flagman
Arthur Stephens.

Accident on an Elevated Road.
' NEW YORK, June 24.—A‘ miraculOush
narrow escape froma terrible catastrophe
was experienced on the Ninth avenue ele
vated railroad at Houston street Tuesday
morning. Had the machinery broken
while the train was at ‘ full speed between
stations engine 70 and four cars crowded
with men and women'would have been
dashed down into the street, a distance 01
fifteen feet. Only the accident itself could
demonstrate how fearful would have been
the result.
As Engineer McCarty, of No. 70, was
opening the air brake valve fOr the last
time, preparatory to stopping at the‘Hous
ton street station on Greenwich street, a
crash was heard, and the trail drive wheel
ties beside the track. The train halted
and the connecting rod, instead of being
demolished, was badly {twisted out oi
shape.
Machinists were summOned from a
neighboring shOp, and with the assistance
of'the engineer, fireman and train hands
the disordered machinery was disconnected
on the injured side of the locomOtive. ‘
There must have been a. flaw' in the axld
of the engine, which' is one of the oldest on
the road. The pressure of the air brakes
on the driving wheels seems to be the only
plausible explanation for the breakage.
It 18 cause fOr wonder that the accident
did not take place on the curve a few
blocks above. Here the trains are run at
-a reckless pace. Often passengers remark
upon the fact that no accident has as yet
taken place at this dangerous point. There
is always a feeling of great relief experi
enced when trains pass the place safely.
The. detached wheel was "only kept from
falling into the street by the heavy iron
guard rail along the side of the track.

The Trial of the Indicted New Haven
Directors Begun in Earnest.
NEW YORK, June 24—17119. trial of the
'di'rector8 of the New Haven r.-. ilroadbe-
gan in earnest Tuesday morning ,the jury
having been secured. The Court of oyer
and terminer was crowded to its utmost
capacity with witnesses and other-people
' interested: in the possible, Outcome of the
trial. The defendants occupied seats be-
hind their counsel, Chauncey M. Dep’ew
being the most conspicuous figure.
District Attorney Nicoll opened the case
for the prosecution and instructed as to
the law. He related the facts of the case
to the jury and claimed that the directors
. of the ioad were responsible for the acci-
dent which caused the loss of life.
Lucius Tuttle, the general manager of
the Neme on road, was the first witness.
He took office May 1, 1890. He had no per-
sonal' knowledge as to how- the cars were
heated on the day of the accident he said.
Mr. N icoll was unable to get anything
satisfactory from Mr. Tuttle.
Gordon J. Peet, a conductor on the train
that was wrecked on Feb. 20, testified that
the train was heated by the Baker heaters.
Clarence H. Simmons, foreman of inl-
spectors and cleaners, said that the Baker
heaters, and the Mar tin,. S‘ 1 1r and Wild-
er systems were used on the mains.
Orray M. Sheppaf'D, distiict superin-
tendent of the road, said- he did not know
how the Tare were heated. 4
Mr. Denver, superintendent of the men
who placed the heaters' in the cars, admit-
ted that the same heating had been in
vogue since and before 187 2. He stated
that the cars were not equipped so as to
"allow a change of system and even if they
were he did not have the pow er to change
it.
Mr. Tuttle, recalled, said he was not
vested with the power of changing the
heating system. ‘District Attorney Nicoll
then read the bylaws of the company.
CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLING.
A Government Official» of Twenty-one
Years’ Standing Under Arrest. J
WASHINGTON, June 24.——Anton Karl, dis-
bursing officer of the United States
geological survey, was arrested yesterday,
charged with embezzling $3,600 of govern—
ment funds.
Karl has been in the government employ
for twenty-one years, and for ten years
has been disbursing officer of the typo-
graphical divisiou of the survey. He had
charge of the accounts of the field parties,
and frequently traveled with them, carry-
ing lefi' amounts of money.
fi'ciency was discovered by John
D. McChesney, chief disbursing officer of
the survey, and when Karl’s attention was
called to it he said that he knew that his
. accounts were not right and that a mis-
take had been made somewhere; he would
try to find out where the mistake was, and
if he could not straighten the matter out
he would make good the amount appar-
ently missing. At the direction of Major
Powell, the director of the survey, a. war-
rant was sworn out for the man’s arrest,
which was served last evening and the
prisoner locked up.
Karl said to a reporter that while there
were perhaps apparent irregularities and
misappropriations of funds shown by his
accounts he had never taken a dollar of
money intrusted to him, and the discrep-
ancies were caused by clerical errors. He
had noticed something wrong with the ac-
counts before this, and was arranging to
make good the amount of the discrepancy
in case he could not find the errors. The
matter has been laid before Secretary No-
ble, and he has directed that Karl be pro-
ceeded against. '

tion, but'it- was not successful. The en-
voys promised to take counsel of New York
sympathizers on the subject, but could not
be induced to give their word to remain

. A Desperate Attempt at Suicide.
BUFFALO, June 24. -—Henry Schult, a
German boss carpenter,m made a desperate
attempt at suicide in his bedroom at 674
Sycamore street. He had evidently medi-
tated .the deed, for he had taken to his
room an ax, a. piCk and a poker, and had
tried them all without accomplishing the
desired result. He then took a razor and
-sla.shed his throat in a horrible manner,
severing a. number of arteries and cutting
into the windpipe. He Was taken to the
hospital, and there' 1s about one chance in
a hundred for his recovery. Schult is
about forty—two" years 'of-age, and has a
wife and children. It is said reverses in
business unbalanced his mind.

The Statement.
State account, 1890, balances owing
June 1, 1891—balancc' due on state licenses,
$367,604.18, due June 1, 1891; state tax on
loans, $86,030.80, due June 1, 1891; balance
due on personal property tax, $362,076.04,
due Aug. 1, 1891; balance due personal
property tax owing to the city, $109,932.07,
due Aug. 1, 1891; total, $826,548.09.
May 30, 1891, amount owing the state,
$1,561,585.11. By- cash on deposit in differ-
ent banks and money to be collected this
amount is reduced to $1,002,769.64. Had I
not assigned my interest in the Bradford
mills to John and James Dobson, who
were my bondsmen, I would still have
this value in property.
Balance due the city, $191, 061. 78, which,
added to the $1,002,769. 64, makes a total of
$1,194,631.32.
This balance 15 accounted for as follows:
Clearing house due bills from Keystone
bank, $925,000; receipt of president of Key-
stone bank for 100 bonds of Baltimore
Traction company, $1, 000 each, $100, 000;
notes taken from G. B. Haines for cash
given him to assist Keystone bank, $125, - '
000; 750 shares of stock in Farmers and
Mechanics’ bank, $100, 000; cash' 1n Farmers
and Mechanics’ bank, in connection with
750 shares of stock, $808. 43; cash' in hands
of my assignee, $5,000; total, $1,153,808. 43:
balance, $38, 882. 89.
This accounts for all of the money in
trusted to my care except the balance of
$38,882.89. This amount is many times
overcome by the property and claims ]

Beardsley’ 8 Claim.
At the close of the reading District At
torney Graham arose, and, addressing the
court, said: “The statement presented by
Mr. Bardsley has been lengthy and cov
ered many things about which there has
been aroused great public interest. I de
sire that the statement be examined by
the mayor’s experts and myself and a re
port made to you. He has earnestly
claimed that the city has not lost a dollar.
In his explanation he takes into considera
tion the money which his surety will be
called on to pay. That does not show
where that amount they will have to pay
went, and I desire to have time to investi-
gate. I therefore move for an unlimited
suspension of sentence.”
To this the judge agreed. This closed
the Bardsley case, and the court then pro
ceeded with the other Criminal cases.

capes and into the open ocean.

Poplar street, when a. man, elegantly
dressed and with a. diamond shining in
his shirt front, approached and asked.
“Can you take a man Off tonight?”
“Where?” was VVild’s rejoinder. “To the
schooner Alice, which' 18 lying on the other
side of Petty’s island.” “I’ll take you
there,” answered 'Wild, and the stranger,
whom he describes as a tall, smooth

priest, stepped aboard the boat which he
manned.
