Special meeting of the Town of New Lots Its Exposure to Conflagration and the Raising of $25,000 tbe Subject of Discussion The Transfer ot Nursery Children. The people of New Lots will hold a special town meeting on the 20th inst. to decide whether the Bum of $25,000 shall be raised by the iBSiie of certificates, as authorized by the recent Legislature, for the nuiposo of laying water pipe. At presont, the town iB practically powerless to atop conflagration which may any moment break out and lap up tho frame build inga of which it is composed.

They have one fire engine and a few hook and ladder truck.manned by a volunteer corps, but there is a great scarcity of water which can be overcome only by laying pipes and connecting them with the Bidgewood water main belonging to the city. It wss proposed some time ago that the water which would be eupplied in that way should be used only for fire pnrposes and paid for to the City of Brooklyn at bo much a gallon. This propo BiUon seems to have met with the approval of the Board of City Works. The town debt is about $10,000, and it is claimed by the advocates of an introduction of water that the addition of $25,000, or so much of that sum as might be required, would not bo excessively onerous. THE NUBSEBY CHILDREN.

It appears from a reliable source that the private institutions, or at least seme of them, will not be ready to receive the Nursery children, who are to bo transferred under the provisions of a Legislative enactment, until the 16th of September. If this should prove to be so the Commissioners of Charities will be greatly embarrassed, as the Board of Fstimate has made no provialon for their maintenanei at their present home for longer than the present month. $3,000 has been inserted in tno budget for their support at tho private institutions, but it is questionable whether any of this amount could be legaily utilized in maintaining them at Flatbush.

The course has been buoyed so that each crow wili pull between two lines of flags, 100 feet apart, and at Intervals of one eighth of a mile. Most of the crows have tried theso lanes and experience no difficulty in steeling through. The crews are very hard at work. The fricndB of both Yale and Harvard are very confident in the ability of their respective crows to carry off the honors.

The Standard ot to day contains an exceedingly violent article against the celebration by tho Americans.

His hardly decont for any loyal Englishman to participate in the celebration of English disasters. Tho American insurrection was about the moat unprovoked rebellion in history. In the present times forbearance aid conciliation on the English side is returned by America with insult and abuse, which is only encountered by cringing flattery, and this Dean Stanley calls reconciliation and peace making.

The Standard in concluiing its article says Among Americans there are but few not actually participating in the general system of public plunder in their country, who would not joyfully exchange their institutions for the order, honesty and loyalty of this Empire, from which a century ago they made their insane revolt.

Latest Facts From the Seen Of tbe Disaster Bemering tbe Dead. Special to the Eagle. Fas Rockawat, July 61:15 P. M. The wreok caused by the aeoident on the Southern Railroad la not yet cleared away.

A large of men have been at work all night, and it will the greater part of to day to gat the road in operation. The wreck is the worst I have ever seen, that on Hempstead branch of the Southern road last Winter, which waa terrible, not being anything like as bad. Bmoking coach and baggage car are telescoped at twelve feet into each other. One of the engines Is complete mass of splinters, and is a total loss exoept sell for old iron. Some of the oars were turned upside down and knocked almost into pieces.

It la a mira that more people were not killed. The dead are lying unoared for and unwatohed under trees in Lookwood's grove and in his shed. They mortifying very fast, but there is no disposition to remove them to an undertaker's or place them on ice. is no undertaker shop in the village. The Coro was here this morning, but he is agitated so as not quite understand bow to manage the matter.

He do nothing until the District Attorney put in an apparanoe on Thursday. Tho body of William Gould, the brakeman, wae re moved for burial by bis father this morning. The bodies of Philip Hartman and Benjamin Thur of New York, were taken to tho city by tbe Long Island Railroad at seven o'clock. The Coroner will permit the removal of all the dead when claimed by relatives or friends. John Finn lies at Lookwood's saloon.

He is dying conousslon of the brain. Ho live at South. Oyster and this morning a telegram was sent to his mother. The other wounded are dwniouea in tne no and Dr. Anerbaoh thinks thef will all recover Finn must die.

BBSPONSIBIHTY. Already there is a tendenor on the part of the Ball. Company to shirk responsibility for the catastrophe. John Barr, who run' the road in the absence of Superintendent Barton, stated this morning that the train bound to Bookawtf as eighteen minutes nemna time, but the train reports of tba agents along the line put the train eight minutes behind. This is a material varif "on.

The statement that HlDbara, wno was killed, waa drunt, 1 evidently false. This statement aald to have rfone forth on the responsibility of a representative of the railroad sompany. I have conversed with several who were passengers, and they deny acousalion most vehemently, and are willing to wear thai he was sober, If ha were drank it la point against Ihe Company for allowing him to go out in charge of the train, Mr. Voppenhusen, the general manager of the rotd, was on the train, and shouted to Hibbardto look out for himself, and then passed qulokly into a car, and before he had the door closed Conduotor was literally out in two. It Is infamous accuse a dead man in each a way.

It is stated that at Lawrence station, abont a mue a quarter below where the accident happened, the oonduotor and engineer of the Bookaway bound train compared watches, and thought they had three minutes make the run, allowing probably the oustomary four minute wait at Kockaway Village by the New York bound train. Judging from the point of the aocldent, trains must havoleft Lawrence and Bookaway al most the Bams second certainly not more than half a minute apart. It is tho duty of every agent where there is a tele graph station to report the arrival of every train. And is oustomary, if trains are not prompt in passing, for conductors to learn of the operators the place the delayed train occupies on the road. If the Bookaway bound train was reported at Woodsburgh, the operator the Bookaway station should have known it if in hie offloe.

On the other hand, If the New York bound train at Rockaway before the Bookaway bound train left Woodsburgh, it should have been reported, and the agent at Woodsburgh be aware of the fact. The trains were to pass at Bookaway, and the ques tion wili have to be settled whether either of the trains were running under orders from headquarters. OONDUOXOB HALDEItKlE had two fingers and the first joint of the third am putated, and Dr. Hendriokson says he can save the hand. He is out about thofaoe.

He refuses to make statement; says he has only one story to tell. He only been employed on the road twenty dayB. The dead conductor was on the road about two months, A great many people contribute the aeoident to the aot that all the conduotors on tbe road are new men, cronlea the Assistant Superintendent from the Harlem road, where he once worked. I have just learned from a railroad man that there was a change made in the time table yesterday, and from another source I learn that one train was running the old time table, and the other on the new table. How much oi this latter part is true, I oaunot say, but there was unquestionably an interference with the old time table.

Th number killed is seven Injured, eight certain die, 1. The engineers and one of the firemen saved their lives by jumping. One of the engineers had but just been promoted. There is a disposition to get out ojl the faots by the jurymen and people, and the inquest may ba greatly prolonged. A in an Killed this Morning.

While engaged in clearing away the wreok this morning, a pin to which a drag rope was attached broke, and the link flew back with great tapldlty, strik ing WilUam McLaughlin, foreman of tho track, in the breast, crushing it terribly. When I loft the ground be was scarcely breathing, and his death will no doubt occur before night. When questioned about this mat ter. Mr. Barr said to a rural newspaper man that Mo Laughiin was not hurt much.

A great many Bastern people were on the ill fated train, and to get home had to walk baok to VaUey Btream for the express train last evening. When this train was approaching Baldwlnsville the flange of the driving wheel broke, and the engine ran off the track, It occasioned great frirtt, but lor tunately no injury. A great many people loft the train, being afraid to ride further, and either hired conveyances or walked to their homes. The train waa delayed nearly an hour and a half, and the engine stands there yet. The Three Drowned Bodies Coroner's Inquest "Accidentally Drowned." Coroner Hicks this morning held an inquest on the bodies of the three persons drowned in the surf yesterday.

They were William B. Goodall, aged twenty, of Grand street. Eastern District of Brooklyn; John Enshman, aged twenty four, of Second street, New York; Lena Bits, aged twenty, of Mulberry street, New York. They wore out too far, and the under current was so Btrong that they oould not control themselves. There was very little testimony taken, and the jury found that they came to their death by being accident ally drowned.

The jury failed to cenaure because there were no appliances for saving life. The rush from Rockaway for the cities this morning, was very great. A terrible gloom has settled over the place. The railroad aocldent and the drowning accident will materially injure the season's business. No trains were ran over.the Southern road at all, and the work of transporting the people fell on the Long Island road.

There were'but few cars, and the people were huddled together like sheep. Each train consisted of two cars, and each car held two oar loads of people. The trains were run very cautiously, and without accident. The people who sojourned at Book away had either to walk to Far Bookaway to get a train, or await the late tripB of the boats. A Parallel Aeoident.

Three years ago, July 1872, there was a similar ao cldent on the South Side now Southern road, at Hlb berd's Station, near Bushwlck, In which five lives were lost. The circumstance of that accident are very much lika the one of yesterday. The on of 1S72 cost the com pany $80,000 this one will cost the Company at least $100,000. The Question Is raised whether or not the Company are responsible in damages for tne uvea lost and injuries sustained, inasmuch as all those injured were riding on the platforms. The oars wero crowded, and those riding on the platforms did so for comfort.

The three gentlemon were In favor of rapid transit wanted the road run in Schenok or Steuben street; but this was opposed by tho directors, on the ground that the streets being newly made, the Company oould not erect a safe struoture there. Mr. Burtis, finally, on behalf of the Company, offered ontor Into an agreement to have tho Company appoint one man as an appraiser of the property, tho property owners another, and the two a third, and to enter into bonds to purchase the property at tha value they shall fix during the present season, as soon as construction of the road is commenced. Mr, Fagan was not satisfied.

Ha wanted ths Company to agree to take the property within thirty or sixty days, and then he wanted the oash down. In reply to question ot Alderman Fisher he acknowledged that built his houses before th Company was ohartered, with the exception of two he had held them ever since unoccupied. Alderman Sllfepr thought the answer of Mr. Fagan was a sufficient rebuttal of his chargo that tbe road Injured his property, and that the Company's offer was a fair one. Mr.

Burtis assured Messrs. Wlckstsd and Elder! that offer of tho Company waB open to thorn. As to the ohange of route near the ferry, the Company was anxlouB that somo other route should be deoided on by Common Council, so that the road would not take business away from Brooklyn, but that the thousands people who do business In the vicinity of the City Hall, together with the large business houses there, might be accommodated. There had been a heavy demand on tho Company by many citizens to take some action by which that point could be accommodated. Ail the company wished to do was to construot the best kind of a road, In tho most diroot route, and whoro the best interests of Brooklyn could bo served.

A handsome model of the road was on exhibition this morning on Johnson Fulton, mado by Howell Company, of Centre Blroot.Now York, and was on exhibition this afternoon at the City Hall, exciting many favorable comments. It 1b ten feet long, and throo feet nine inches wide, with throe sets of columns and three girders, all mado of wrought iron. It intended to do away with the necessity of lamp posts and telegraph poles on the line of tbe road, and is well braced in every part, and ornamental withal. Tho com mitteo finally adjourned without ooming to a definite conclusion. While those present to protect admitted the need of rapid transit and thought the model much loss objectionable than thoy anticipated, still they were anxious that the road should be on some adjoining street.

Hunt having prepared a grand wicket a very enjoyable game waa had and some exoellent wicket was shown. The Prospect Park Club presented what was regarded as its strongest team, out tno ueiouig snuweu uia ii. would bo improved in some respects. Tbe Manhattan, however, did not number as strong as anticipated nor as punctually, as they had to commence with eight men and finally thoy had a full eleven out. The Park team went first to the bat, Messrs.

The for mer WaB OlSpoaOQ OI JJ WlDurt uib MLQb uor ivct gotherlng a bit for 3, the first cricket falling from 4, Ronaldaon and Loda then joined forces at the bat and they soon brought in a ohange of ley taking Gilbert's one after the fourth over, and Hos ford that of MoDougal shortly afterward.

Afterward Peters handlod the willow for 10 in eood style, marked by a sixer to the club house and a Kii tntjii of 132 was left to tha credit of tho Park team, the best score in one inning on the club record. At 2:25 the Manhattans went in with a good piece of up hill work before them, and HoBford and Cammoll were tho first to face the bowling, which was in charge of Bonaldson and Errington.

Whether the shooting was Intentional to a de gree, or wholly accidental, a not exactly settled. According to the statements ef a comrade of the unfortu nate boy, it appears to have been intentional and to have come about through tho mischievous pranks of Strohmeyer and other lads, Sohneider says he waa simply exploding caps, and playfully pointed the weapon at one of the lads about, when that youth said, "Shoot that boyf' pointing at Strohmeyer. The latter fell at the discharge that followed, and waa picked up more dead than alive. The bullet entered the side of the body, and is believed to have pieroed both lungs in its passage aoross the upper part of the trunk.

No hopes are entertained for the recovery of the lad, who, at th latest accounts was yet alive. Schneider Is in custody of Coroner Nolan, by whom the ante mortem statement ot Strohmeyer was taken yesterday.

At the discharge, Goritz uttered a cry of pain and fell over on his back shrieking with pain. It appeared the stone bntlets had gone through the fence board, and one at least had entered the boy's groin. Dr. Loewenstein fears it may prove fatal, indulging la the common hope for recovery as long as life hangs in the balance. Both Beckeqana Darmstadt are under arrest.

At 9 o'olook yesterday morning Patrick Smith was shot in the arm by a pistol discharged by some un known person. The casualty ooourred at No. 812 Lori mer street. Dr. Feeley dressed the wound.

Likelihood of a Change of Management An Interesting Bit of Local History The Position of the Two Orphans. Since the death of Mrs. F. B. Conway, her daughters, Minnie and Lillian, have announced their intention of assuming the management of the Brooklyn Theatre, and running it in the same manner as it has been Bince its opening in October, 11.

To carry out this project, which wss considered most haaardoiiB by those who knew the difficulties Mrs. Conway contended with, and finally succumbed to, they engaged an expensive Btock company and the leading dramatic Btars of the country at salaries far above those their mother paid. This of itself would hove been a greater load than the young ladies could carry, as was predicted in the Eaole at the time but in addition they were indebted in the sum of nine thousand dollars to the owners of the Theatre for back rent, which, with their entire la.k of business knowledge, has conspired against tbeni to producj their present embarrassment. It seems, from the statement of the proprietors, that the Brooklyn Theatre was built by Alexander Mo Cue, William C. Kingsley and A.

Keeney, in 1870, ami finished in October, 1871, when it was leased by Conway at an annual rent of $18,000, payable monthly, lor seven years. The first year proved mem oi 3bly disastrous in theatrical circles, and Mrs. Con at, with great effort, was able to pay $13,500 of the due, leaving a balance unpaid of $4,600. The owners ot the theatre, who were among HER WAItlCEST FRIENDS, recognizing Ihe difficulties with which she had to con tend, her a receipt for the whole amount of rent. The next year Ehe was behind three thousand dollars, for which thry also gave her a full receipt.

In the tl.ird vtar, which is the present, Mrs. Conway died, leaving her daughtea Minnie as her executrix, with a 'bt of for rent since the.nrst of last January. At the time of Mrs. Conways's death, Miss Minnie lUt? upon the owners of the theatre and consulted iili them in regard to her affairs. The theatrical topic, ci rcursi1, composed the principal theme of discussion.

ilh fatherly sympathy for her condition, they ad Yirpd her to throw up the lease and not to pay to them sny money on account of back rent, bb they considered it too much of a load for her to carry. Minnie and her sister Lillian, however, Bcouted the idea and said they would pay the back rent in a very short time, and that she would succeed her mother as manageress of the theatre. Soon after she paid $5,000 on account of back rent, which cleared everything up to Ibe first of January, 1875, with the understanding that on the first days of July, August and September she woidd pay $1,500 per month, and during the theatrical season, which she believed would be very prosperous on account of the sympathy which the Brooklyn public felt for them in their bereavement, she would pay at the rate of $3,000 per month, which would apply to wiping out tho back rent. The amount then due was $13,600. These sgreenents she has failed tc keep.

On the contrary, when the first of July came, when the first $1,500 payment became due, she notified Messrs. McCue, Kingsley and Keeney of KEJt INABILITY TO PAY THE BENT, and demanded a return of the money she had paid on account of back rent. This demand was naturally refused, when she had made the payment against the advice of those to whom she owed the money. Then she made an offer to the directors that if she would return the $5,000 and give her a receipt for $9,000 back rent, she would retire. This proposition would in reality make her a present of $31,000, because, in addition to this, was $7,000 which her mother had never paid.

The absurdity of this was bo apparent that a peremptory refusal was returned. Then came the threat from innie that if they did not immediately accede to her terms She would remove and sell the scenery and fixtures of the theatre, which had been placed there by her mother, and force the owners to dispossess her. The owners of the theatre, seeing that she was no longer amenable to their advice, commenced a suit against her for the $9,000 due, and also applied to us tice Gilbert for an injunction to restrain her from dis rosing of the theatre appliances, which, upon THE FOLLOWING AFFIDAVITS, was granted Supbeme Court. Kin os County The Brooklyn building Company aganist Minnie Conway as executrix vj the last trill of Sarah 67. Conway, deceased, and individually.

The plaintiffs Company alleges I. That it is a corporation duly incorporated under the laws of this State, under the name of the Brooklyn l' miding Company, with power to hold real estate, and to act as a company and corporation and to sue and be sued. II. That plaintiff is the owner of a certain building iu Brooklyn, situated upon the corner of Washington and JohnBon streets, and known as the Brooklyn Theatre and used for theatrical purposes. That defendant, as executrix aforesaid, and in her own right, is in possession thereof as a tenant of plaln V'i; that the rent of said building, a sum amounting to upward of nine thousand dollars, iB in arrears and unpaid.

The said building having been rented to and occupied by the Baid deceasod, as aforesaid, at the yearly rent of eighteen thou and dollars payable monthly. Lease having been made to said deceased about October, 1871, for the term of seven years from said date, and defendant having entered into possession upon death of said deceased un der said lease that such iB dne and wholly unpaid freni January 1, 1870, amounting to the Bum unpaid. That the estate of eaid Sarah G. Conway, deceased, is insolvent that THE DEFENDANT IS INSOLVENT. That there is a considerable amount of property now in said theatre belonging to the cSate of said deceased which would be of little or no value if taken away, which is of considerable value if left there, and would it so appbed, reduce the said debt of plaintiff considerably.

That defendant threatens to remove and is about so to do, not only the above property, consisting of scenery and appliances of a thealrj, but large amounts oi property used for theatre purposes now in said building, the property of plaintiff. Whererore, plaintiff claims judgment for the amount aforeFaid, with interest fsom date, and that defendant l.e enjoined from removing the said property. S. V. Lowell, Plaintiff's Attorney.

beam's affidavit. The following is the affidavit of Mr. Henry Beam, the General Agent and Treasurer of the Brooklyn Building Company Henry Beam, being duly sworn, says that he is the fluent and acting Treasurer of the plaintiff that the plaintiff iB now in possession of a certain building in eaid city, the property of plalnliff, upon Washington and Johnsons streets, known as the Brooklyn Theatre. That said Sarah G. Conway, deceased, had possession of the same in her lifetime and tenant of the same from plaintiff, and that defendant in her capacity of executrix of the last will of 6aid Sarah G.

Conway, deceased, she being sole acting legal representative of said deceased, and duly appointed ca such executrix, now holds the same as such and her own behalf. That the estate of said deceased is insolvent, and that defendant personally is insolvent. That there is due from said defendant, as rent for said building, the sum of nine thousand dollars, being rent due and unpaid from January 1, 1875 to date, at tho rate of eighteen thousand doliars per year, that being the amount at which said building was and is rented to said deceased ami defendant, and which rent is wholly due from Ihe date aforesaid. That defendant has THBHATENED TO BEMOVE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF PBOPEBTY of said deceased, now in said theatre, which would be oi little value il taken away, but which is of considerable value if left there, and would, If so applied, reduce said indebtedness of plaintiff considerably. That she intends to convert the proceeds of said removal to her own use with the intent ot defrauding the creditors of said deoeaaed, including this plaintiff.

That the only effect of so removing Baid property would be to depreciate said estate. That defendant also threatened to remove, and is al. out so to do, not only the above property, consisting of scenery and appliances of a theatre, but also largo amounts of property used for theatre purposes, now in baid theatre building, the property of plaintiff. That said property is worth several thousand dollars. That defendant has threatened to so tear the same out of said building, necessarily greatly injuring the same and to Bell the same and convert the proceeds to her ovra ubc.

That she has no pecuniary means sufficient to com P' utate plaintiff for the Iosb which would be thereby incurred, and that unlesB ehe is enjoined from so doing the plaintiff will be irreoarably injured. HEKny Beam. Sworn to b' fore me this third day of July, isrs Edwabd Blambi, Notary Public. THE LAW AND THE LADY. The above papers, together with the order of Justice Gilbert restraining Miss Conway from removing the Bienery, were placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Giorge Hardy on Saturday afternoou for service.

Alout four o'clock he called at the Brooklyn Theatre, here the Conway sisters are at present residing, and tang the door bell which was answered by a waiting maid. "IB Miss Minnie Conway in he asked. She is not," was the reply, Who shall I Bay 'called?" Mr. Hardy," answered the Deputy Sheriff. Is not she in? I think she must be." "No the ain't," replied the servant, "She 'went to New Yolk this morning with her sister, to have her pictures taken." Now Hardy had seen Lillian walkmg down the Btreet but a few moments before, and knew that the girl must have been "posted" by her fair mistresj.

So be said, "Well, you may tell Miss Conway that I The girl left and hurried up the stairs, softly followed bv tho Deputy Sheriff. She did not perceive him as she hurried into the dining room. Hardy entered the parlor. In the dining room the girl saw Miss Conway and narrated tho visit, and as the couple wore congratulating themselves upon their clever escape from the limb of the law Hardy walked through the open door and gallantly HANDED THE PAPEBS TO THE ASTONISHED AOTBESS. It would seem from the many changes of expression which MisB Conway's face assumed that her histrionic powers should not be underrated.

If she conld act half as well on the stage her success would be assured. Khe blushed, turned pale, stammered and finally, collecting herself, in an imperious tone demanded "by what right he should dare to enter ber private apart ments" just as they act on the Btage, only with a display of more ral feeling. Mr. Hardy explained the necessity of a fulfillment of bis duty, and naively hinted at the little scheme they had adopted to avoid him. Miss Conway replied that ehe understood the matter thoroughly and that his business did not excuse his actions.

Somfl farther conversation passed, after which Hardy left. Justice Gflbert's injunction is returnable on the 0th inst. The probable result will be that Miss Conway trill have to relinquish the theatre. With the loss, of one of the best theatres in the country, the harrassing responsibility ot being Bued by numerous actors for broken engagements, with no money, and no engagements through which ehe can earn any, and the loss of the best friends of her dead parent and herself, her condition is one deeply to be pitied.

WRECKING CAES were Bpeodlly sent to the scene of the oollision, and by flvo o'clock trains were again running.

The excite ment at the South Eighth street depot was very great, hundreds making anxious Inquiries respecting their friends until midnight. It is generally believed that the down train had the right of way, and that it was the duty of the conductor of the other train to switch off and wait at Bookaway village. A change of time table went into effect yester day, but the officials claim that It did not affect the two trains which were in collision. Mr. Hartman made the following statement respect ing the accident MBS.

HABTMAN'B STATEMENT. I went with my husband on the 13:30 P. M. train for Rockaway, to enjoy a ew hours recroatlon on 'the beach, I was seated in the fourth carriage from the engine, my husband being on tho rear platform amok ing, with another gentleman, when the oollision oc currcd. We were within a short distance the depot at Rockaway at the time.

We felt a sudden shook in the oar, but were not injured. Presently the cry wae raised that several persons wore killed, and then tho wildest torror and confusion spread among the passen gers. Men, women and ohildren rushed to the doora and windows of the carriage and jumped out, I had none of my children with me, but mothers who were accompanied by their chllreu seized them and oast them out of the carriages through the windows, and then went out after them in the wildest confusion. In a short time tbe carriages wera olearod, and then it was ascertained that the engine and first two carriages wero ntiroly wreoked, and that nearly all the passengers who had been standing on the platforms at the time of tho accident were cither killed or badly Injured. When saw my husband in a dying condition, after being crushed between tho fonrth and fifth carriages, I became insensible, and was taken to one of the hotels, where I remained for a couple of hours.

1 relumed homo by the Long Island Railroad, and reached Hunter's Point about nine o'clock. AN BTE WITNESS. Mr. Humphrey Hartahorne, of No. 1 Willoughby Btreet, a passenger by the ill fated train on tna South Side Railroad, was encountered at the Oceanus Club HouBe, at Rockaway Beach.

To a representative of the Eioi.E Mr. Hartsuomo related the following exper ience He started to caich the 12:30 train from South Eighth streot for Rookaway Beach, but upon arriving at tho Williamsburgh depot he found that the train had started and was going up South Eighth Btreet, and that there had been a Blight chauge in the tune table, commencing yesterday. Ho overtook the train, how ever, getting into the rear car, and to this oeourronce Mr. Hartshorns attributes his Bafoty. It had been his habit to get a seat in one of the forward oars, end after getting on the rear car he went forward as usual to get into the forward oar and round all mit tne roar one filled, when he returned to the rear car.

The train, he thought, consisted of five or six cars. At Bushwiok Station two more cars wero put on for the accommodation of some olub, which was left at Jamaica. The train ran through to Valley Stream wltaout any trouble and made regular stoppages at Hewlett's Station and Woods burgh, but Ocean Point was passed, as it waa thought the train was behind time. At Lawrenos they stopped for passengers, but the conductor seemed HURRIED AND EXCITED, and in excited tones cried, Hurry up." It was thought then that something was wrong and his action excited oomment. When the train reached a point about 300 or 400 yards from Bookaway Station, ther was a shock and a crash, while a passenger who was standing in front of the oar was thrown violently forward.

Getting out oi the oar he found they had come in oollision with a train coming from Rockaway, and that both engines were a complete wreck, and the ears smashed. His excitement wae so. great that he hardly knew what transpired after that, and he had notrecovered from the shook entirely, when he related the occur rence. Ho know there waa a great deal of confusion and that there were aome killed and wounded. He saw their bodies laid under a tree, and others being assisted away.

Having a horror of Beeing persons injured or dead, he hastened away to the depot, and thence to tbe beach, to carry the Bad Intelligence. As steam communication was cut off by the aooident, lie walked all the way, in thefevor ot his excitement, thinking that was the quickest way to reach there. In conclusion Mr. Hartahorne said that there must have been groBB carelessness somewhere, as the mana ger, he understood, was on the train with him, and the trains should have been telegraphed," when they were such a short distance apart, especially as they were so near Rockaway Station. Some one was to blame, and there could be no excuse for the dreadful disaster.

The Intelligence of the disaster cast a gloom over the previous happy spirits of the thousands enjoying themselves at the beach, among whom it rapidly spread. There were about flvs hundred porsoSB on the passen ger train. Statement of Frederick Ellison. Frederick Ellison is a son inlaw of Mr. Croweil, manager of the Phenix Insurance Company of Williamaburgb, No.

08 Broadway. Mr. Ellison was on the 12:30 train from South Seventh street. He had his daughter, a little girl aged four years, with him. In an Interview with th EaaXif reporter he made a statement of the aocldent to the following effect "Myself and my little daughter were on the train whioh left WiUlamsburgh at 1230; six cars were attached to tho engine.

As we went along crowds of people got on at way stations, so that numbers were compelled to stand An the platform. At Jamaica nearly fifty people got out to witness a ball match or something of the kind. At Valley Stream we took on six extra cars. We then went along at a good speed only stopping at two points before the crash. When we neared For Bookaway Station, after leaving Law rence, we were still going ahead rapidly.

When coming near the ourve, within a stona'B throw of Bookaway, and after passing the side track at that point, I sudden ly heard two sharp whistles from our train, and the next instant we were telescoped. The first I knew of it my daughter wae thrown violently from her seat to the centre of the car: I picked her up and looked around to find two young men wedged in between tbe debris at the front; I was in the fourth oar from the englse; I saw the engineer of our train Jump from hla position be turned off the safety valve first; I then got out of the car and looked into the others, snd saw the most HXABTBBNSXNO SIGHT fmaginablo to behold; orushedmen and women oried piteonsly, For God's sake let me out massm. Thurmer, the Broadway Jeweler, and Hartman were horribly mashed, the former's legs having been out off; the passengers did all they oould to remove the dead and wounded; the nose of one poor woman hung on her lips all seemed paralyzed for about five minutes. I believe that tho conductor of our train was oeoina nm bdoui uikbu minutes. The people of Bookaway all blame the conductor of the outgoing train.

Before passing the curve we could see nothing ahead, and It was not therefore possible to see the other train. lam positive that no whistles were blown tor oown oraaes unm aiir ruuui tag the curve, and when we were within a distance of fifty yards of the other train. The exoftement was iu tntms and the staht heartrending. I left and cams home by private conveyance. I thought to telegraph te my father in law and wife, but OOULD NOT GET A MESSAGE SENT.

I saw one man run up and down after the aeoident, and laugh maniacal he lost some friend and was crazed. the body take the The least a to ole the are There ner to will raan. from tls, but road only very la the the to and to the It at was has any has of on to.
