ASOTHEB NEW YORK HOBBOB Two Trains Collide in a Fourth Avenue Tunnel. Au KiicliiriT luatantlv Klllr.l and Woman Illir in . I U> I i I. | < III., r - -. i I nn.iy Injured Full Particular*. A New York despatch of last night says : A terrible collision between trains Demurred in the tunnel of the New York Central and the New York 4 Sew Haven rodi ibis morning. One of the mini caught fire, and a deplorablo IBM ot life reetiUtd. At 7.15 the 7.01 New Haven local passenger train north bound approached the station at Kighty sixth street. A mist filled the tunnel ind tbe lights bad partially failtd because of tbe alarm o( snow and hail which bad Uiled all morning. A train of leepiog cars WM ahead on the eimo track mm the New Uavon trin. Thin was rnn into by the New Hiven local, which WM going at a high rate of ipaed. The crash waa terrible and both trains, ngiuea and oars, were completely tele- ooped and emaibed to atoms. The oars of the forward train caught fire from a love and the flimca rote high abovo tbe wreck. Three alaroia of fire were sent oat, followed immecUs "-ly by two calls for ambulances. Thelatier ware responded to by pb yiicians from Bellevai and Harlem Uos- pitala. When the police, doctors and fire- men reached the so-mo theyfonnd approach ditliculi by reason of the wreck of the care, combined with the smoke, flamca and the narrow limits o( the tunnel. At 11 o'clocK it was alatid that five persons were killed in the accident and seven injured. None of tho paaseogers are known to be among the killed or injured. Tbe riotims are all believed to be employees of the road. Tbe passengers in tbe New llaven train weru badly shaken np, but beyond tome slight oats and braises mm* ot them were badly hart. The passengers were taken from tbe train back to the Grand Central depot in a New Haven train that wa joat patting at the lime in the eatt tunnel. Ennineer Fowler, of the New llaven train, said that when at 72nd Mreet he got the white signal, which was a signal to go ahead. There was no ringing of the bell as is customary when the danger signal U up. He waa running at the rate of about twenty miles an boor on the north bound Em! Ho waa eo oloie to the " shop train " before he was aware of it that be telescoped it before he waa hardly able to put OD tbe air brakes. The shop train," consisting of ewven oars, including several sleepers that had oome into the Grand Central depot early in the morning, and waa on the way to the repair abop, aa ia the custom after a trip. On tbe telescoped ahop train tbero wero probably a dcn or more emptiei, both of the road and of the Wagner Company. Five bodies had been taken from the wreck op to 1 o'clock. They were three men, ono woman (probably a scrub woman) and a boy. The latter waa the newaboy of the Boston and Albany Kiprtss. Hit name baa- not been luarned. Tbe firemon claim that there are no more bodies in the wreok and have abandoned tbe wreck. On the other band the police, who were on tbe soenn early, inaist that there arn still more bodies in the wreck. The railway company hau begun the work of clearing away the tiaokaj. Coroner Levy waa at tho wreck and gave permiiaion for the removal of the bodies to the morgue. One of the dead bodies iathal of a colored man. Only one of thoao who lost their lives (h newsboy) has been Identified. Trie bodies are so badly burned that identification is almost impossible. Frederick Meteor, eollootor for the Marvin Safe Company. who wae on the 701 train from tbe Gramt Central depot, > he saw a man wild In hua.l partly out of the window of tbe burning oar. The conductor and Meteor triad to tave him, but ooold not. lie im- plored them to kill him, for he waa burn- TniTlaat oar of the New llaven train took fire The engineer of the New llaveu train waa instantly killed At 8 45 the body of a woman horned to a oriap was brought to the surface. The engineer of the other train had one of his legs burned off, and another employee waa badly burned. Additional depalohes from New York live the followinK regarding yesterday's collision: Win. U. Brown, a brakesman, who waa ou the wracked train, wsa badly injured. John HannUe, tho oar cleaner, is probably fatally ti'jnrod. The dootora say that it be ahould reoover both hia legs would have to be amputated. A fireman named Kankin ia also badly hurt. The dead woman is supposed lobe Mra. Nellie Hopple, who baa tx-en in tbe company's servio for two years. After the firn had been rr.aatered firemen with axes tried to dear away the debris, so as to be able to get at the bodies. ll waa finally decided to pull tbe two oara apart, and a locomotive with a tear and oraxh parted the two oars. In a heap of burned cushion*, wood and iron the bodies were found and taken out, wrapped in blanket*. They were then placed side by side on the south bound track. I'arts of lome of tho bodies were completely burned away. The signaller at 7'Jnd atreet aa;a this morning that he was aware that the ahop train waa at a standstill, and he palled the danger aignal. The signal, be said, worked all right. If this ia true tbe enginseer of the Nnw llaven train should have seen it and heard tbe gong sound three times, as it does when a train is pasting the point where the danger signal ia op. The state- ments of the signalman and the engineer and fireman will be tbe anbjeot of investi- gation, in order to determine on whom the responsibility for the calamity rests. Buperintendent McCoy states theie is in use throughout the entire length ot the tunnel interlocking switches with electrical appliances By tbia aystem tbe danger signal at 72nd street could not possibly be ohanged, sven if the man in charge of the. tower sought to alter it, until the preced- ing train bad left the station. Ho it would appear that the accident was attribntable to grosa negligence of Engineer Kowier. John Usaoke, one of tbe injured, died in the hospital this afternoon. Four more unrnoogniwi bodi have been removsd from the wreck and seat to the morgue. These ars sll tho bodies known to bs in the wreck. JAJMUIEHB CUBIOI.

The Cbicafio .Railway Age says : Men- tion has been made ot tbe recent promotion of Mr. L. J. Beargeant to the position ol general manager of the Orand Trunk Hallway ol Canada, ancoceding Bir Joseph riickson, resigned. We now present an excellent portrait of this able and success- ful railway official which we have bad reproduced from a very large photograph, and also the following eketoh of Mr. Bear- gean'ts career condensed from tbe Domin- ion Illuitrated : Mr. Lewis James Beargeant was born at Trawbridge, Wiltshire, Eng- land, and trcm an early age has been con- nected with railways. His English career waa aasooiated with tbe largest of British railway systems, tbe Great Western, his earliest expei ienoe of railway construction and management having been in connec- tion with the Booth Wales Railway, a Great Western affiliated line. On the amalgamation of the South Wales with Ihe Great Western Railway Company Mr. Beargoant waa the recipient of a substan- tial duuceur from the proprietors in recog- nition of hia services, and tbe Great West- ern Board appointed him Superintendent of the Booth Walea diviaion. Early further promotion followed. Mr. Beargeant waa appointed chief officer of tbe boath Devon aud subsequently of the Cornwsll and West Cornwall Railways, which toge- ther constituted a compact system between Exeter and Penzance. Upon Mr. Beargeant devolved tbe duliea cf Oeueral Manager, Secretary and Secretary of the Joint Com- mittees ot the Great 'Western, Bristol <V Exeter, South Devon and Cornwall Com- panies. During this period be was offered tbe appointment ot agent or obitf cffioer ot one of the largest Indian railways. He, however, deohced the appointment at tbe request of tbe Great Western Board and was further promoted. Upon the reigoa- tion of his several offi jee ia lt)74 to ooaio to Canada Mr. Beargoant received evidenced ot the highest consideration and friendship, obief among which w3 an intrinsically valuable presentation from a large number ot directors and cftiotra of the companies with which he was connected and of men serving under him. Mr. Seargeant arrived in Montreal in 1874 and was appointed Vice-president of tbe Grand Trunk, Mr. Uickson being Ihe President. He alsj became Vice- President ot the Chicago & Grand Trunk Railway Company and ot other affiliated line*, while his position on tbe parent road wu that ol traffic man- ager, he being the Drat gentleman to bold snob an cffioe on this continent.

A TORONTO MAN'S DEGRADATION A Wealthy Mao's Fall From Affluence and Grace PAINFUL BCEHE U A POLICE COURT. Ten years ago Jamea Paterson was tbe principal in the well-known millinery firm of Thos. May A Co., who owned large establish ments in Montreal and Toronto ; he owned a princely mansion in the most aristocratic part ol the oily, and occupied a high aocial position. He was the father of a clever family, and was possessed of a wile of education and refinement ; those who were most intimate with him looked upon him as ono of Toronto's most pros- perous citizens, possessing wealth to the extent of over 5100,000, and hia liberality is well known and remembered in Metho- dist circles. He filled the position of recording steward of the Metropolitan Church, had a high reputation as a man of integrity and sobriety, and when money waa wanted ho did not hesitate about giving 85.000 to tho building fund ot tbe Metropolitan Church. Yesterday he appeared at tbe Police Court, an acknowledged bankrupt, to show oau;e why his wife should not be granted an order of protection againat him, and during the trial be was charged with abuainj and threatening bis wife ; with abusing, thrash- ing and threatening bis grown-up family; with drunkenness, and with refusing to provide the family with the common neoes- iarits of life. Tbe ec^ue during the trial was a moat painful one, especially to those whc had known tbe defendant in his pros- perous days, and mnet have been more ihan painful when the parted husband and wife met in court, tho one aa a defendant who aoled as his own counsel, the other as a nervous, trembling witness. Tbe husband cross examined hia wite, and on more tbtn one occasion flatly contradicted ber sworn statements, although he after- wards was unable to dispute any ono part of her evidenoe; he cross-examined his young daughter and almost forced her to say that be had bit ber in tbe face, bad abased and threatened her, and had also abased and beaten bis boy ; tbat ahe had awn him under the influence ot liquor, and that while in tbia condition be waa almost uncontrollable. Not satis- fied, the defendant called Staff Inspector Arohabold, who swore tbat on the occasion a couple cf ysari agn when defendant charged Mr. George Kerr with having assaulted him, defendant called at police headquarters under ths influence of liquor and tbe inspector gave him tbe option of going Dome or going to jil. For tho defence, Mr W. 1. Orr, insur- ance agent, was called, but he ouly strengthened tbe position of the complain- ant. Mr. 1'atoraon asked for an adjourn- ment to secure Mr. Edward Gnrney as a witnesi. but as tbat gentleman is at present ia the Unittd Slates, the application was not entertained. Defendant claimed that be had apent tUO.OOO on hia family, and that he now had a riuht to enj >y some of the earnings of ths children. The MaiiMirain grantrd the order of protection, which eatitluj Mrs. Patersou to live apart from her husband, and to enjov the larniuLfauf htnelf and children. J/utZ.
