The tnniblo catastiopho which happened j on tho Hawthorn lino on Saturday evening > till forms the oil-absorbing topic ot ouversation. Tho mismanagement by which tbo accident \Yas_ cansed has } evoked sharp condemnation from all the leading journal* of the colony, many of which insist that tho railway system must be removed from the control of the political head, and placed under the . administrationofanindependentboard of ex perienced men. Up to the present time no farther deaths have occurred, though some of the patients under treatment in the Mcl- | • bourne Hospital remain in a critical condi tion; Mrßo.'s, whoissufferiugiromiojury to the spine, concussion of the brain, and a severe bruise under the right eye, being ihe worst sufferer. Scores of passengers are still under treatment at their own home?, many of them suffering from vfry serious injuries. One of tne worst of these cases is that of Mr Kavanagh, a member of the Emerald Hill Municipal Council, who, though he has partially reooveie-i consciousness, is still in a dancerom con dition. Mr Dalgety, a Solicitor's e'erk, who had both his legs broken, is going ou well. The condition of Mr Scourfield was so serioi s as to necessitate two medical consultations, but the patient now seema improved slightly. Some official reports in regard to the accident have been received. Mr John Anderson, the General Traffic Manager, in his repot t to the Minister, »x ---plains tho steps ho took to clear the line after receiving news of the occurrence, and concludes as follows :—" The tpecial train was arranged for on tho 24-h ultimo, and, as is invariably the cus tom, written notices showing the time at each station were sent lo every station-master on the line. At 9 pm. I received a telegram from the station-master at Hawthorn to this effect:— I let the Box Hill special through, thinking she pa;sed at Burnley. (Signed) BedjAMIN Thorn son," It will now be seen that (bis de plorable occurrence has been caustd by the station-maater at Hawthorn neglecting to study the time-table with which he had been furnished. The follow ing is the principal portion ot Driver Kitchen's report to the Locomotive Superintendent*:—"l wasdriyar of engine No. 191 with a firs_t-clas3 special trsio. We left on tbo return journey to Melbourne at 5.50 p.m. A few minutes before starting several gentlemen inquired of the guard, who wi-B standing against the engine, if he was going to -stop at Hawthorn, when be distinctly answered ' No.' He turned to me, aud said, 'If Hawthorn does stop you, yuu are to go on, as tho line will be clear.' _ I answertd, 'All right.1 1 here was no in timation oa the special time-table about passing any train there. I left Camber well according to time right, and proceeded cautiously to Hawthorn. There I receiv&d another 'All right' signal from both station-master and guard to proceed. We w- nt through the station at the rate of a milo an hour. My fireman waa on my side at tho time when 1 passed the remark, and eaid ' Wo have managed to pass here to time.' Looking at my watch on ap proaching the bridge across the Yarra and going round the curve, I had steam shut off. I requested my fireman, Gleeson, lo steady the train round, which, he did. I went across to the side of the engine, when f caught eight cf the other train coming on the same rails. I instantly opined the whistle, put the steam brake on, a!eo opened thceand valves, My tiain almost came to a standstill. I waa rerouting with the idea of getting my train to' start in the opptsite direction, which I could havo done if there had been another 15 yards, when tho other engine stiuct. The shock threw me against the tender, rebounding me back again to the reversing gear, which caught my watch chain and prevented mo fruin falling. My fireman was thrown from his tender to the ground, but did not get ranch hurt. 1 feel in duty bouod to state that he attended to his broke manfully. I then found my way to the other eagine, and found the diiver and firemen were both cut about, aud advi.cd them to go to their homes and see a chemist ir doctor, which they did. I then put out their fire, put water into the boB«r, aud eased the safety valves in case the boilir was in any way injured, at the same time telling the guards to save the trains. We then as sisted with the engine till a late hour, and as my right leg was very soro and stiff, -1 left to go home, leaving Mr Thompson and the foreman in charge. Mr Graham ilerry, jun., wbo was in the special train, and was at fi/nt supposed to have escaped without injury, is now Buffer; ing from a severe shock, whilst his sister, Miss Harriett Berry, who was in the ordinal y traiu, is eutlcring f oom severe spinal concus sion. W. J. Thomas, the bou of the passen gei who died from the effects of his injuries, to-day, ia suffering from a severe shock, which induced epileptic fits. A numbsr of claims for compensation have already been sent to the Department, and arrangements have been mudo for the sufferers to be visited by three medical officers represent ing tbo Boa/d of Land and Worker A Departmental inquiry will be held at tho conclusion of the inquest ou Mr Thomas. The damage done to rolling stock is estimated Bt fully '£20,000. As illus trating the feeling of insecurity which pre* vnils among the travelling public, owing to the frequently recurring accidents, the resi dents of Hawthorn have petitioned the Mayor of the borough to call a meeting to consider the advisability of urging an immediato chapgo ia tho railway manage ment, with a view to tho better security of the travelling public.

PRIMITIVE METHODIST SOIREE.

The anniversary soiree ot the Franklin Road Primitive Methodist Church was held last niahr, and waa well attended. A plentiful tea Was provided by the Ladies' Committeo in the school-room, and about 160 persona Bat at the tables and partook of tho excellent provisions under the a>siduouß attentions ot lady friends. At the close of tho repastv friends and visitors attended the anuual meeting in tbo church, under tin; presidency of Mr David Goldie, teeaaurer, aud the proceedings opened with prajer and the smnd old hymn or paraphrase, "Be *re Jehovah's Awful Throne " by a numer ous choir of ins-rumentalists and vocalists, under the direction of Mr Jenkins. The chairman (Mr Goldie) then presented tho annual balance-sheet, a carefully-pre pared document, showing : —it ear's in come, £177 16s lOd; expenditure, £185 l7s lOd j balance, £8, to which might be added interest, etc, which they would be called upon to pay, making the balance £38. Still, Mr Goldie said, things were not so bad as they seemed, and the Kranklin Church was malting headway. •The several items of income weue noticeable as showing the Industrious and persevering character of tho Franklin road people. The woman, by their weekly sewing meetings, had been able'to hand into the treasury £34 6s Sd; and members, besides regular contributions, had given, in some instances, £1 each, Mr Goldio advised them to per severe in the good work on the rules laid down by Weeny, viz., got all you can, tave all you can, and give all you can; or, as a negro church expressed it, all giro some thing, give as Uod has prospered you, and give cheerfully. The speaker referred to the action of Rev. C. M. Nelson, of St. Faul's.ywho took stock of the coins dropped into the plates and published tho result. Mr Belson fouud an abundance ot three-ponny piece?, but could not dis cover much coin of greater value. The investigation showed, however, that tho majority of his congregation gave but three pence. The chairman concluded with remarks upon "systematic giving." The Rev. O. Barley, of the Tbames, made an excellent speech on "Christian life and practice," Full of instruction, showing that doctrinewas only useful in so far as it leads men to live a holier life ; that morality con sisted in performing our duty to man, and religion in performing our duty to God. Rev. W. Potter spoke of •' active good- i ness," which he commended to the little church, Many persons whom he knew had a great deal of goodness in them, but it Was of a passive nature. Active gaodness brought every faculty of the mind into operation, and turned them to useful service. Tho Eev. J. Robertson took for his theme "The Pew and the Pulpit," shewing how one might assist the other by the transposition of things and habits as they are now in connection with churches. Rev. James Guy spoke upon changes which had taken place during the past year, and of the position and prospects of the Franklin Road church. He referred to the removal of Rev. Mr Long, and in iouching terms to the death of one (Rev. S. Edger) who had rendered them assist ance, but whose voice was no longer heard in the land of the living, Mr Guy spoks of the several improvements in' and about the church, some gratuitous offerings, and them for their forbearance towards him in per mitting him to speak with freedom on Christ as a personal Saviour, and other sub jects ot importance. They had not been as financially successful as he could have wished, yet the funds had been increasing as well as the life and usefulness of the church. During the evening the choir sang several anthems, and the "Hallelujah" chorus (Messiah). Mr Hahn preside!} at the harmonium, 4

A Missing Steamer,—Belief That She Has Been Sunk With All On Board.

London, JMovember 13.—The steamer Westphalia, ot the Hamburg-^-mericsn line, from New York, November 2nd, for Hamburg via Plymputb, has put into Portsmouth with a hole in the port bow, received by a collision with an uskaown steamer off Beachy Head, early this morn ing. The Westphalia is making water rapi ly, and will be docked. Tha buat lowered from the Westphalia to search for the other steamer is missing. A steamer has been scot to search for it and the steamer.

LATER.—It is believed tbat tbe micsing s'eamer has gone to the bottom with alt hands. Tbe musing i oat of the West ptial:a, which contained an officer and six men, is still missing. The officers »f tbe Westphalia report it w*s intensely dark at tho tima of the collision, with & heavy sea running. The collision ocenrred at 2 o'olock in the morning. The missing steamer was barquo ringed, and was not seen after tbe c4lisi*o. Captain Ludwig, »f the Westphalia, irnme dtately despatched a fcoat to try and find her. He then mado ready all the other boats in the event *f success. Tbe water gained on tho Westphalia, thou«h ail the pump« wer« kept going without intennis.-ion. The mails and ninety passfngcrj were landed at Portsmoutb this atte.noon, and will be forwiided to ihtir destination as tarly as possible. Tbe Westphalia i* now moored alongside the dockyard, and is kept clear of water by tae pumps. The cargo is noi greatly damaged. Great praise ia accoidsd to Captain Lad wig, the officers, and aew, for their cool ness and oourage from tbe moment of the collision. There was a very heavy tea, and it was too dark to see a ship's lengtb.

'I he steamship plying between Gilia and Hull, has founderrd in the Sorth Sea, and forty persons have been drowned.

A Pastoral Lett*e-Thb ATrEMFBBD

4 SS A SSI NATION,

Dublin; November 12.—A.pastoral letter from Cardinal MacCabe was read in all the Catholic churches to-day. It defended the Catholic Church from the charge of being the enemy of progre's and modern civilisation, pointed ts the snccess of the Catholic schoo's, and called upon the people to farther assist in Catholic.education by maintaining the extension of the new Catholic university and college. Oirrigan, charged with attempting to ae sa&ina'e Justice Lawson, hai been Identi fied as Patrick Pelanoy, sentenced In 1879 to seven } ears' penal servitude for highway robbery and attempting to^shoot the police man who captured him, TROUBLE IN GALWAY. Dublin, November 13.—Particulars re ceived from Galway, where there has been such bad blood between the peasants, pro prietors, and magistrates recently, give an account of the attack last Saturday on the huntsmen. They stoned the riders, struck the magistrate with rocks, cheered tor Purnell, Dillon, and the Land League, and finally succeeded in driving oS the police, huntsmen, and soldiers in a body from the end of the cover. Eight arrests wer« i effected, None were killed, but many were 'bruised badly.

THE HOWICK MURDER.

(Before J. B. Macdonald, Esq., E.M.

(Concluded),

Hhney Hack, labourer, oowoborated the statement of last witness; he went to Crow ley's house accompanied by a man named Peter; saw Orowley, who seemed quite composed under the circumstances; said Ma wife had been spitting at him all night, and said she would dance in his blood; witness said—You were foolish in not learing her; ho said he wished he had; he teemed quite rational during the conversation, and smoked his pipe; saw the broken iron on the table; there was a good deal of blood on the floor; some ten days previously piisoner, in crossing a week, fell and a post I struck him on the back ot his neck; he hud since complained of being injured and of pains in his head; had been strange in his habits.—Dr. Charles P. Fitzgerald deposed to the injuries Mrs Crowley had received ; death, in his opinion, mast have been in stantaneous ; a blow with the iron, given with such force, was sufficient to cause death.—Special Constable Gill and Sergeant Gamble gave evidence, the former as to the arrest of Crowley, and the latter as to the results of his enquiries into the case. Sergeant Gamble found in the house two savings bank books—one showing £100 odd to Crowley's credit, and £30 odd to the credit of deceased.

The whole of the evidence was then read over by Mr Cunningham, clerk of the Court, and the prisoner, wko had nothing to say, was fully commfttfld for trial on the capital charge.,

THE BAPTIST BAZAAR.

FOB the post seTen or eipht months thg kdies of the Wellesley-street Baptist Chareb, and their friend?, have been geduously engaged with preparations for the Baaoar that is to be opened in the Drill-»hed on Monday next, in a id of the Building Fund for the pro posed new churcb, and now that the intervening time is so short, the pastor and his chnroh officers are busied in mak. ing arrangements to render the affair as attractive as possible. There is a plentiful supply of goods on band, and it has been decided to sell thorn in a lair and legti. '.'■ > mate tray, latteries and raffles being en thely eschewed and Art Unions tabooed ' Most of the articles have, of course been locally worked up, but "a ■ ■■- large quantity has been sent out from Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle, and ~--: other friends in the old country, as well as in the neighbouring colonies. There will be a fair number of stalls, and as a spirit of emulation lias been produced by the division ot the preparatory labonr the ladies connected with each are vicing with , one another to obtain credit for the': best display. Thns there wiLbea"City Stall," a. " Ponaoobj Stall," a "Sunday, echebl Stall," "Mrs Pailson'g Stall," a "Prodnae Stall," and a delectable "Kefreshrcent Stall." Mr Spurgeon too will bare a stall, which he ha> named "John Ploughman's Stall," where his £ father's books and photos will be en tale. There will likewise be a "Gipsy Cart" laden with useful ankle*, a picture gallery, i telegraph and telephone offices, and the iota of panting presses having been effected, a newspaper will be issued every evening while the Bazaar remains open. Musical and dissolving view entertain ments, in resp:ct of which a small charge v to be made, will be held nightly, and hi flue there are a multiplicity of moans ' nuclei consideration for the amusement of | the victor*, It Is confidentijr anticipated that tue tsszmr will be about the best thing of the kini thas has been held here {or many years past, and the financial resßlt it is hoped will bo correspondency successful. 'I ho Baptists have been sub jected for a long time pa*t to great inconvenience, resulting trom a crowded church and cchcol, but they consider a heavy liability a still more grievous drawback, and rather than be pat down by the latter they would prefer to pnt op with the former. The pro ceeds of the baaaar will probably afford them the mean* of meeting tkeir necessities without encumbering themselves with a heavy debt. The opening takea place on Monday next at two p.m.
