A PASSKNdBR'S STATEMENT. ' The "Tribune" publishes tho following statement of K. H. Still, of Oswego, who was on tho Tarry town train: "When we were atTnrrytown," he said, "the train from Albany passed us. It was running fast, o nd there seemed to bo a wheel on lire, x spoke to one of tho men in the depot and ho said, ' Those brakes are down.' After leav ing Tarrytown we ran along smoothly for some timo. The first intimation I had of danger was the feeling that the air brakes had been suddenly put on. I felt there was something coming, and 1 braced my self against a seat. Then came the crash. Men and women were thrown headlong over the seats. The stove was upset, and so was the water tank. The excitement was in tenso for a few minutes. The women screamed and the men swore. Two or three men wore burned severely, although not dangerously, and some were hurt by the broken glass, Everyone got out of tbe cars immediately and went forward to the Albany train. Thero were three passenger coaches on y our troin and I was in the second. I suppose a number of men in the first car must have been hurt. As I went forward I saw that the rear palace car was badly damaged. The back part was on fire and it had apparently been completely telescoped by our engine. Everyone in the Albany train seemed to be out of it, except some in the back of the rear car. In some way ten or twelve soemed to bo held in the back part of this car, which was all in flames. I suppose the shock tore the car all to pieces, and that they were caught in between the broken seats. I could only see one woman at first, and she was lying down with the stove on ono leg and arm. Her shrieks were terrible.- The conductor on our train, who was the only one around that had his wits about him, immediately broke one of the windows of the car, and two men were helped in to tiy and got her out. None of the other passen gers who were held in the cars were in such a dangerous place as she was, and tho first effort was to get hor out, Some wooden bars were handed the men, and they made ono great effort to get the women out. Then the fl&mes swept around them, and tho two men jumped out of the window. In the meantime, everyone on tho two trains had gathered around tho last cars. Tho Conductor again shouted to the crowd to bring water and some snow-balls and to throw them upon tho flames, aud every one wont at his work, and thoy checked the flames for a time. Meantime, the cries of the

POOR WOMAN UNDER THE STOVE Had ceased. Another party of men had procured a ladder and this was up against the side of the. car, and while some men were pouring water and snow upon the ilames, others clambered to the windows, but the people were so wedged in the wreck that they had to be pried out. The first person taken out was the woman first alluded to. She seemed dead. Then, with groat difficulty, two more women and two men were taken out, apparently fatally in jured. There were several more in the cars. I did not see how they were got out. While I was walking through tho crowd I saw a woman with a baby in her arms. The.woman hail been badly cut by glass, and blood was drippingovcrher child. Sho had been in tho forward part of the rear car. One man, standing on the rear of the parlour car, saw the Tarrytown train coming, and jumped off just in time to savo himself. • The accident was due to tbo carelessness of the man in charge of the Albany train. It had no signal out, and Si first intimation our engineer had of the ngcr was when he saw the lights of the drawing-room car about fifty feet in front of him." Tho "Tribune" adds: "The coaches took fire immediately. The shock of tho collision was terrific. In all of the cars of tho Albany train tho passengers were thrown from their seats anil many in jnrod. From both trains, passengers rushed to tho wreck and set to the work of rescue. Water was carried from tho Harlem River and from locomotives and dashed upon tho flames, but the firq apparently burned up brighter* and stronger. Some of tho rescuers were bnrned about tho hands and faces. The cries and groans from tho injured were heard on every side. A Bhort time before the disaster occurred, Senator Wagner passed through the car containing the Tammany party and said, laughingly : •Ah, here are all anti-monopolists.' He added: 'I am opposed to monopolies my self, for sometimes they smash my cars.' The party laughed at this sally, and Senator Wagner passed into the next" coach. Senator Browning, of the Tam many party, thinks no one was killed in his, car, but all wore more or less injured by the concussion, the flying glass, and splinters, Assemblyman Sheehy was badly hart."

Chilian Lawlessness.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.—The "World" says: The lawless suppression by tho Chilian military of the civil government of the city of Lima, following as it does upon a similar act of violence levelled at the civil government of the Peruvian-republic, dors not afford, such auguries of the temper in which South American affairs are likely to be connducted, whilo Chili remains in the ascendant, as should lead an American administration to regard with indifference any legitimate opportunity of making the moderating influence and authority of the United States felt, and respected in that part of tho world.

The Fastest Walker in the World.

New York, December 31.-The six-day walking match closed to-night at 10 o'clock, Fitzgerald coming in first with a record of 582 miles and 55 yards, beating tho best previous record, that of Robert Vint, 578 miles, in May, 1881, by. four miles aud a few yards. The race between Noremac and Herty tor second place was exciting, but the former passed Herty at 3 o'clock and led him to the finish. Herty's feet were in a terrible condition, and it was a Wonder that ho was able to keep on the track. The records of the men, which are unusually good, are as foUows^;—Fitzgerald, 582 miles 55 yards ; Noremac, 565 miles 495 yards ; Herty, 556 miles 275 yards; Krohne, 500 miles 1,595 yards, and Lacouse, 501 miles 275 yards. Tbo men to-day made respectively : Fitz gerald, 60 miles; Krohne, 60; Noremac, 60.; Herty, 55; Lacouse, 47. Fitzgerald will receive about £'2,000 and tbe silver trophy for beating the record. Rowcll has mado a match with Vint and Panchot for a six day contest, go as you please, open for all, for £1,000 entrance fee. The date of tho match has not been settled.

Loss of a Steamer with All on Board.

NEW YORK, January 10.—A "Herald" special Irom St John's, N. F., says: Intelligence has just been received of one of the most melancholy marine disasters that ever occurred on this' coast. The steamship Lion, of about 500 tons capacity, left this- port on Wednesday evening last for Trinity bay. There was on board when leaving St. John's an aggregate of forty three souls. Of this number, twenty five formed the ship's crew and the remaining eighteen were passengers bound tor differeaut harbours in Trinity. No account of tho steamer was heard till this morning, when intelligence came by wire that tbe body of a- lady named Cross, one of her passengers, was picked up on Buccalow island and conveyed over to Red Head Cove for interment.

Two of tho steamer's boats were also found, one having the ship's name on her stem. Ten kegs of kerosene oil, the precise number which the Lion had on deck, were also picked upon the western side of Buccalew island. A quantity of lumber was found, drifting about the neighbour hood which exactly corresponded with the steamer's deck cargo. Tho names of all the passengors on board tho Lion are not known so far, as tho steamer, was not a regular passenger boat, and no formal Jist of them was kept at the office other owners. The body of the lady is only as yet recov ered or identified. The Rev. Mr Foster and his brid s, two of tho passengers, were married only one week ago. It is a matter of extreme perplexity to solve tbe enigma ot the steamer's loss. The total ruu from St. John's to Trinity harbour would riot occupy more than eight hours. The weather was fine and clear, the sea tranquil, and there is nothing but a bald coast along where the steamer's course lay. Captain Fdwler was an expert navigator along this coast, having been cruising up and down in fishing schooners and coasting craft during the past thirty years. The Newfoundland Go vernment has just dispatched the steamer Cabot to the probable scene of the cala mity,bat it is too likely that no human aid Can now avail to save either life or pro perty or even to unveil the mystery that surrounds tbe particular mode in which the ill-starred vessel met hor fate.

An Italian Bank Cashier Ab sconds with a Large Sum.

London, December 24.—A Florence dispatch says : Tho cashier of the largo banking house of Fenzie and Co. has ab sconded, boing a defaulter to the amount of 2,000,000 lire. Ho is 71 years old and was 40 years in the employ ot the firm, He has

He hau been arrested in a village near Florence, It is hoped tbat about 750,000 lire in Italian rentes will be recovered. This is oue of the principal banking houses of Italy. The find value of the defalcation would be, in nglish money, £80,000.

A Mysterious Murder Case in England.

London, December 30.—At the examina tion in the case of Dr. Lawson, charged v. ith murder, iv administering poison to a /stu dent at Blenheim House School, the prose cution stated that the persons who made the analysis of the stomach found the most positive traces of aconite poisoning, and that they had experimented fully with per* tions of the stomach on animals.

Assassination in Ireland.

London, December 31st.—Two sisters named Croughan have been shot near Mulllngar, County Westmeath, by an un known assassin, who entered their mother's farm-house early in the morning, and, after greeting them, drew a revolver and fired, killing one sister and fatally wound in? the other.

Trial Trip Through St. Gothdard Tunnel.

GENEVA, Dec, 30th,—The trial trip through St. Gotbard tunnel wao highly successful. The time occupied in the pas sago of the train was fifty minutes ono way and thirty-three the other way.

A Lively Fight With Revolvers.

Now York, Jan. 6th.—The "Herald's" 1 New Orleans special gives the details of a terrible Southern difficulty which occurred in a country store in the village of West port recently over a horse race dispute. After every revolver had been emptied, a survey of the field gave the following re sult t Killed — Robert Perkins, James Dykes, Simon Mercle; wounded—Hiram Mercle (injuries supposed to be mortal), George Musgrove and Jesse Davis slightly wonnded. Deputy Sheriff Smith, who visited the scene immediately after the affray, says tbo store presented tho ap pearance of a protracted siege, one window being entirely destroyed, and tho walls of the building showing no less than fifty bullet holes.

The Lost Balloon

Another accident which, from its singular character, deserves mention, has occurred to some aeronauts, who ascended in a Government balloon. It appears that Mr Walter Powell) M.P. for MalnicsuUry, in company with Mr Tcnipler and Mr Agg- Gardner, son of the late member fof Chel tenham,- ascended in the balloon ip order to take some meteorological observations, After sailing about for sonic time at the rate of from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour, it appears that tile balloon got in too close proximity to tho coast line of Exeter, and it would have been wise, por haps, if the aeronauts had descended; but a contrary wind springing up just then, they allowed it to carry them back to Bridport, where, finding they were in danger of bcihg carried out to sea, they made a hurried at tempt to descend. Captain Templer and Mr Gardner succccdctl in getting out—the latter sustaining severe injuries—and the car, thus lightened, rose sharply again, with Mr Powell in it, aud was driven out to sea, and up tojtho hour wc go to press, that gen tleman has not been heard of,

Railway Disaster near London.

While the public mind was yet depressed by the horrors of tho disaster at Vienna, there came news of a terrible railway accident on the North London Line, by which some five people were killed, and over forty sustained injuries more or less serious, It appears that a train was brought to a standstill in a tunnel, the singnal [being against it. In a few minutes a 'second train cutered the tunnel, but the driver happily made out tho red light in time to prevent a serions collision. As it was his train bumped the train in front and shook the passeegers severely. Great was the excitement among those who knew that another train was shortly due, and many of the passengers left the last-mentioned train and were groping about the tunnel in the dark when a third train rushed in and completely telescoped the middle train. The shouts and yells of tho unfortunate passengers were some thing terrific. By the collision the lights in the carriages were extinguished, aod morning papers and lucifer matches were brought into requisition to assist the pas sengers to grope their way out of the tun nel. When at length the nature of the dis aster was learnt, all trains wore, of course, blocked, and the authorities lost no timo in providing breakdown gangs to render assistance. In the city the excitement was very great, as employers and emplo) ba who were known to come by that line had not arrived at their respective offices, and by nightfall the offices of the Great North ern Company's line . were inundated by inquirers in respect of relatives who had not yet reached their homes.

Increased Prosperity in England.

LONDON, Dec. 31st.—The "Times," in a financial article, commenting on the general aspect of trade during the year just ended, notes a quiet but steady improve ment. Railway traffic returns show an increase of three to four percent in the latter half of the year. The enormous production of iron in 1880 has been exceeded in 1881. On the ClydealonolOO.OOOmore tons of shipping has been built than in the most active pre vious years. The most probable outturn of ships this year will be 800,000 to 1,000,000 tons gross. The prosperity of other trades is shown by the increase, up to the end of November, in the aggregate of value of exports, of British produce and manu factures, by from three to four per cent.

Important Arrest in Ireland.

LONDON, Doc. 29th.—The police have ar rested a man named Connell, County Cork, charged with having arms in a proclaimed district. A number of.loaded revolvers were found in his. possession. It. is believed that he Is the leader of a gang who have been committing outrages in Mill-street during tho past year. Among]the documents found in his possession was one containing a list of persons upon whom outrages were to be committed,

The police have found a large quantity of rifles, bayonets, and cartridges in a vault in the Protestant Church, in Kilkishan, County Clare.

Tragedy in San Francisco.

GEORGE S. REED ASSASSINATES HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW AND DAUGHTER.

The Murderbr Temporarily Insane

From Overwork,

A mournful and terrible tragedy occurred ;at the Mission at an early hour this morn ing, the details of which make it one ot tho most painful that has happened in this city for years, George S. Reed, a young man of 31 years of age, an active, industrious and honoured employe of Macondray & Co,, the merchants of Sansome street, resided with his family and relatives at the house of his sister-in-law, Mrs 'Gorman, 2,049 Mission street, near Seventeenth. For the past two weeks he has been sick through overwork, cauecd by the pressure of business, and for two or three days out or his mind at times. Yesterday he took to his bed almost pros trated, but in the evening conversed brightly and cheerfully with his intimate friends, who were in hopes tbat a little rest would restore him to health. Three years ago to-morrow he lost his wife, to whom he j was devotedly attached, by death, and upon each recurring annivorsary the sad event has preyed upon his mind. So far as the "Post" reporter could learn by a hurried visit to the house of mourning, in which all were in deep distress, and yet busily engaged with the dead and dying, it appears that a little before eight o'clock this morning Reed left his bedroom in his night shirt,- and encountered his mother-in-law, Sarah A. Smith, as she was about to enter or leave the bathroom ad joining with bis little daughter, Ella S. Reed, aged about 8 years. He at once raised his revolver, and SHOT THEM BOTH. Mrs Smith Received the ball in her left breast, about an inch above the nipple,.and •died in twenty minutes. The poor child, who was her father's pet, was shot through The left lung, the ball passing entirely through her little body. She was alive at ton o _ock. but her life is despaired of. just below the left nipple, and the secona Le through the right temple, tta'ball coming out on the other side of the bead. He died about two kours afterwards. , Mrs Smith and little Ella were at once moved into their rooms, ana ,medical help was* promptly proenreo, and the Coroner . notified of the tragedy.

THE NOISE Of THE SHOOTING

At once attracted an immense crowd around tho house. Officer Harry Gafdincf, of the Seventeenth and HoWttrd-sttcots station, was promptly on hand, and placed the house under police sitrveillahce and drovts away the crowd. Mr Becd was universally esteomed in the neighbourhood, and by a large circle of friends, Who appreciated liis earnest and manly character, atta tho out spoken grief and tears of the many friends in tho house testified to the high regard of all. The interior spoke of ft happy home, and one arranged in quiet, but well-to-do taste and comfort. He leaves as a sur vivor, his son about seven years of age. It is the Uuiverstl belief of all who knew him that he Was in a state of delirium, ..rising, from overwork and grief at the loss of his I wife. I

Since the death of his Wife, as beforesaid, about three years ago, Mrs Sarah C. Gor ham, his aiater-in-law, and a daughter of Mrs Smith, had been in Charge of the ho Use and his children. He was of a very ex citable and nervous temperament, but had continued at work until yesterday, when lie was so worried about his business that, he remained at home and took to his bed.

Usually he has slept in the front room with the children, and in the bureau of that room he keeps his revolver, a Smith and Wesson, No. ..calibre, Last night, how ever, he slept in the next room, Mrs Gor ham sleeping with the children) as it was thought better that in his

I_J_Cl_.A_._-K ANb NfcRVOUS MdOD he shotild be kept frbm all rioise. About 7 o'clock tbis morning Mrs Gorham went into his room and asked what he would like for breakfast. He said he felt better and would like a good one. Mrs Gorham went down stairs to prepare it, taking Freddy, the son, with her, and when it was ready asked Freddy to goftnd stay With "papa." He did not go, for almost immediately after wards three shots were fired, Sho, without knowing why, went partly up-Btairs and SAW REED FALLINC.. j

She ran down stairs again into the street shrieking lor help, As she ran back into the house, she met Ella, [or as she was called, ''Tincy,-- Coming down the stairs, crying, "Papa has killed mo!" She at once laid the child on a lounge, andsent for a doctor. Going tip stairs again, sho found her mother, Mrs Smith) lying ,in the hall* way. She was moved] into heir room, and died within fifteen minutes. Reed was moved into the front room, and died about half-past nine, When he was first found the pistol was lying near his right hand and just under the mat of the bathroom door. A bullet was found iv the wall near the head of the stairway, which was opposite to the bathroom. Little Ella states that she fan out of list- room in her night dross, to " kiss papa. Ho caught hold of me, shot me aud then himself." At another timo she said: " When he shot me he had a hole in his head, and grandma was lying on tbo floor." As Mrs Smith was heard washing in the bathroom almost immediately before the first shot Was fired, it is surmised that Reed shot her first, then himself through the head, then Ella and finally himself again. Tho deceased has been of late yoars en gaged in attending to the Custom House and other important outside business of the firm. Be was very indefatigable and a hard and faithful worker. Of late he has complained of being fun down, and his whole appearance botokened overwork. Lato Thursday afternoon, in leaving for his home, he declined ah invitation to enter a saloon with a friend, and remarked that he was very ill, hut that he did not know what ailed Mm. He looked exceedingly pale and worn, and his friend feared that ho was on the verge of a severe ill ness.

The Pope Complains of Italian Persecution.

Rome, Dec. Kith,—The Pope to-day gave tbe customary Christmas reception to the Cardinals, of whom' twenty-three Were in attendance, including the German Car dinal Hohomahe. In reply to their address the Pope said that his position was beconiing more and more intolerable. When he claimed temporal power in order to secure the inde pendence of his spiritual power, he was ac cused of being a rebel and an enemy to Italy. Catholics who demanded efficient guarantees for tho freedom of the head of their Chtrch were similarly stig matized, and pilgrims to Rome were in sulted by the press and populi.ee. It was, therefore, natural that Bishops coming to Rome should consider tho existing situa tion incompatible with the dignity of the Holy See. His Holinoss said that he ex pected far more sevcro persecution in times to come, but ho would eudeavour to gnido the bark of Peter through the troubled sea, looking forward to a moment when God would stem the tide and calm the tempest.

Indian Massacre.

Tuscon; Arizona, Jan 6.—lntelligence from Hcrmocillo, Sonora, says that two bands numbering 300, undor chiefs Chris and Jo, havo been committing depredations in the districts of Mocleyum, Salimipa, and Arizhe, and have killed Superintendent Woeberling of the Lampazos Mine, with fourteen men, six women, and four children. Gen. Ortega had started for the scene.

A Panic at a Funeral.

About Forty Persons Injured in an

Illinois Cnußcn,

QoiNCY (111.), January s.—Daring the funeral of Rev. Simon Kublenheihoolicr at the Salem Evangelical Church, this after noon, a frightful panic occurred. In the rush for the street some forty persons were injured, six ladies seriously. The church is one ot the largest in the city, and was filled with friends of the deceased. The seats were filled, and tbe standing room in the aisles, and about tbe doors were ocenpicd. Soon after the services commenced the panic occurred It is said tbat a seat in the gallery brok down. The people thpught the gallery was giving way, and the rush commenced. Men, womon, and children poured out of the doors leading from the main floor and gallery into the ball leading to the street, All efforts to stop tlietu were fruitless, Thoy were panic-stricken, and would listen to nothing.

Ia less than two minutes the doorway was blocked up, and the scene that fol lowed was indescribable. Women who were caught in the crowd were thrown down and trampled upon. Their shrieks and the shouting of men, who seemed to. be frightened out of their senses, were fearful. For fully ten minutes the door way was blocked up, and during this time a number of women fell or slipped under the feet of the frightened crowd, Some of the men went to work heroically to rescus the women, and succeeded in getting them out after they had been walked over by a large number of persons. as fast-as taken ont the victims wore token to the adjoining houses and cared for. It was found tbat several were seriously and probably fatally hurt. Mrs Stalker, a married woman, aged about 45 years, received internal injuries, and it is supposed that she will die. Maggie Meyer, a young woman, was bruised in the face by boot heels and was injured internally, Mary Keyes, Mary Ann Ritter, Minnie Bu'ndy and Miss Dilkhut all re ceived serious injuries,! and their recovery is doubtful. Mrs Doleman, an old lady, and Miss Lehman and Mrs Wiseman were badly injured. Rev. Mr Hollenback, who was caught in the crowd, had a rib broken. Many who were knocked down and but slightly injured were taken home as soon as they escaped, and their names have not been ascertained. There was no occasion for a scare and no cause for a panic. After tbe excitement, which lasted for half-an hour, had subsided, the funeral ceremonies were resumed. Up to 8 o'clock this even ing the victims were alive, but there is little hope of Mrs Shilker, Miss Meyer* and Miss Bundy.

RAILWAY RECLAMATION.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—Feeling Interested in this matter, with othor of my follow citizens, will you kindly favotlr mo with a word? That there should bo so muoh apparent dlQloalty thrown in the way of this work, Is, to mo, astonishing, and forces mo to tho conclusion that tho Government Engineers have not takon tbo troublo to supply tbe Ministry with faots. Or such statements as werogiven In reply to tho deputation would not have been used. Thoro Is really no diffi culty in obtaining material for filling — a mora convenient or suitable plaoo than tho hill at Jabob'o ladder cannot be found. As you are awaro, it is positively dangerous — very unsightly—and standing as it does right aoroas the street, Is a great nuisance, To re move It, I would suggoit tho purohaßO of what la known aa l)r Fisher's; tho property opposite, I bellsvo, belongs to tho Government. Cut the hill right book, and oithor slope or build a stono Wall similar to Mr Lamb's. Thoy will then have a proporty very much Increased In value on a lovol with Custom _ou«e-Btroet. Another vbry daelrable effect of catting this hill away would bo to oonneot Custom-house-street with Jennyn- Btreot. thereby connecting tho Official Bay por tion of City Hast with the City lv a manner that Is impossible unlets this work Is dono. I hope the City Counoll will take the matter np and assist the Government In every possible way, as they will never again have so favour able an opportunity ot doing this work. By doing the work as suggested above, a very great city improvement will be eHocted, and too reclamation accomplished at ono and tbe same time. Now as to cost, I notion tho Hon. Mr Whitaker says Mr Haloa'a estimate for tho completion ot the reclamation Is -.16,000. The amount is an absurd over-estimate. I feel Bure they will par ohaso the property and do the work for leas than £8,000. But let tenders bo called for pub licly, and not by private arrangement—a few thousand yards from ono, and a few from another, I don't believe In this hole-and-corner fashion, as the Government aro sure to pay through the nose for it. as I believe they have already, it they havo been paying Is 9d per yard. —Yours. &c... Praciioai.
