in a disorderly manner in the Haymarket, and Con was
further charged with being drunk.
Police-constable Charles Player, 130 A reserve, said—
Between 1 and 2 this morning I was on duty in the Hay-
market, when I saw the prisoners with two others not in
custody, but one of whom I see in court, pushing against
everyone they came near, and followed by a crowd of
about 100 persons, many of whom were prostitutes. There
was a good deal of disturbance and shouting, and after
scone trouble I dispersed the crowd, and got the
prisoners to go away. The prisoners went as far as
Barns's and then got up another crowd. I again dispersed
the crowd and the prisoners then went to Tichborne-
street, and afterwards to Windmilletreet, where Bevan
hammered at some shop shutters. Con, who was drunk,
said that he was the master of a ship and did not want
to be interfered with by the police. We had seen the

ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT

NORTHERN RAILWAY.

Between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon an
accident of an alarming character occurred near the Sandy
Station, on the Great Northern line, a distance of about
44 miles from London. It seems that the 12.10 p.m. pan•
imager train (part parliamentary) from York had tra-
velled to the above point in safety ; but on approaching
Sandy a coal train happened to be shunting at the tiros,
andlotwithstanding that all efforts were employed by the
engine driver of the latter to prevent such • result, a
collision took place. The force of the shook is described
as terrible, and how the whole of the pas-
sengers escaped with their lives is remark-
able. The engine and tender of the passenger
train were forced over, nearly shattered, and both now
lie at the scene of the disaster some distance below the
surface. On inspection it was found that no bones were
broken, but about twelve of the passengers were sadly
braised and much shaken, and, with the exception of
two ladies, they were all brought to London late last
night, and conveyed to their homes in cabs. The two
ladies were terribly alarmed, and nothing could induce
them to remove from Sandy last night. A telegraphic
message was, however, sent to their friends, who
visited them, and with whom they return to
town to-day. Several of the carriages have been
been rendered totally unfit for service. The train was due
in London at 5.35, but more than seven hours elapsed Cr.
the passengers reached King's-cross. On inquiry at thecom-
pany's office it seems the whole blame rests on the signal
men at the Sandy Station, who—although receiving the
telegraphic caution—neglected to signal the danger. Mr.
Seymour Clarke and other officials visited the spot this
morning, and a searching inquiry will be made into the
matter.
