Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given .in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass th©
nights in tho bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
big the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least 1,1,000 more will he required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
S proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,

The Collision on the London and Brighton
Railway.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. R. Blagden, the coroner
for the western division of Sussex, opened au iuves-

tigation at the Railway Arms Inn, Horsham, into
the circumstances attending the death of John Snatt,

aged 23, a stoker in the employ of the London and
Brighton Railway Company, who was killed on Sa-
turday night by a collision at the Itchingfield Junc-
tion, as described in our yesterday's paper.
The jury, having been sworn, proceeded by spe-
cial engine, accompanied by the coroner, to view the
body, which was lying at the Itchingfield Junction,
and the scene of the accident.
Mr. J. J. Merriman, solicitor, of Queen-street,
Cheapside, attended on behalf of Edward Reay, the
driver of the Portsmouth down train ; and Mr. Car-
penter, superintendent of police on the Brighton
line, represented the company.

On the return of the jury,
Edward Jackson, engine driver in the service of
the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway

Company, spoke to the identity of the deceased.
Mr. T. Bryan Greenwood deposed that he was a
surgeon at Two Mile Ash, and that on Saturday
night, at a quarter to 10 o'clock, he was called to
the junction. lie went directly, and found the de-
ceased lying on the metals, quite dead. The frontal
bone of the head was driven quite in on to the brain,

which was quite sufficient to account for death.
James Strudwick said—l am a signalman at
Stammerham Junction, on the Mid-Sussex Railway.
I do not know how far Stammerham Junction is
from Horsham or Itchingfield. The Portsmouth

express train from London ought to leave Three
Bridges at 8.33, and run through Horsham without
stopping, passing my box at 8.50. The 7.15 up train
from Brighton is clue at Horsham at 8.33. From
my signal box I can see the distance signal at Itch-

ingfield signal box, but we cannot see the semaphore
at Itchingfield. At night our signals are by lamps,

red indicating to stop, and when it is all right to go
on the distance signal shows white, and the " auxi-

liary" signals at the branches show green. The
Portsmouth express passed my box on Saturday
night at 9.16-8.50 was the proper time. I always

book as they pass; it is part of t- ov.
I noticed nothing about the signals as she passed,

The up trains from Brighton should have passed my
station at 8.29. On the night in question the train
never reached my box, but I heard the trains go
together at about 9.17. I did not leave my box or
look at the other signals then. I had to book my
train.

By Mr. Merriman--j am not certain whether the
train which preceded the Portsmouth train down
was behind time or punctual. The preceding up-
train from Brighton was behind time. I have not

my book with me. (The further evidence of the
witness on this point was postponed for the produc-
tion of his book.) On Saturday, just before this
accident, I did not see the Itchingfield distance sig-
nal. If I had seen the signal at Itchingfield indi-
cating danger I should have stopped the train. If
I had seen the Itchingfield distance signal indicat-
ing danger I should not have allowed the Ports-

mouth down train to have passed without warning
it.

had been instructed
by signal I should not have stopped the train. I
was not told to-day either to bring my books with
me or to leave them behind.
By the Coroner—The signal to stop from one box
to another is by five beats on Ty '
er s patent signal.
I had no instructions from the Itchingfield signal-
man on that night to stop the train, and it would
not have been right for me to stop the train with-
out such instructions.
Charles Hunt, fireman of the Brighton up train
on Saturday, said—On Saturday night we ought
to have left Brighton at 7.15, but we were twelve
minutes late at starting. The driver of our en-
gine was James Alanvvell and William Burgess
was the guard. Coming to the Itchingfield Junc-
tion the distance signal was " off," showing that the
line was clear. It showed a white light. The sema-
phore at the box and the distance semaphore were
also all right, showing a green light. We were go-
ing very slowly indeed at that time—not above 10
miles an hour at the outside. When we got to the
distance semaphore, which is just at the junction, I
saw a train coming down the main line. I said to
my mate, " They are coming through us," and I
immediately put my break on and jumped off. Our
engine was near upon crossing the main down line
when I jumped. The Collision took place imme-
diately afterwards. 1 then went round to the en-
gine of the Portsmouth express, and I saw the driver,
Edward Reay, underneath the two trains, trying to
pull out the deceased, John Snatt, who was lying
on the ground between the trains. Together we
pulled him out from underneath. He appeared to
breathe, but I saw directly afterwards that he was
dead. His head was dreadfully smashed. Our en-
gine and tender were then on the metals, but the
engine and tender of the Portsmouth train were
both off.
By Mr. Merriman—I don't know what time the
Portsmouth train was due at Horsham, but I know
she was late at Itchingfield, and ought to have been
past there. I can't say at what rate the Ports-
mouth train was going.
By the Coroner—We can see the down distance
signal from Itchingfield when we are passing Stam-
merham, but we cannot see a train approaching, as
there is a curve there and an embankment.
William Burgess, whose head was severely cut
and enveloped in bandages, deposed—I am a guard
in the service of the company, and on Saturday
evening last I left the Brighton station with a train
from Horsham. Our right time for leaving was
7.15, but we did not leave till 7.27. The reason of
out being late was that we waited for the arrival of
the London train. We left Southwater at 9.10, but
were due there at 8.26. This delay was occasioned
by our waiting 17 minutes at Shoreham for the
Portsmouth train, and 14 minutes extra at Part-
ridge-green, waiting for a down-train from Hor-
sham. I noticed at Itchingfield that the distance
signal was all right, the auxiliary showed a green
light, and the semaphore a green light—indicating
everything clear. The distance signal really had no
light. I took up my staff just before we got to the

a white
auxiliary signal, and was showing it on the left side
of the carriage. While so standing I found that
something struck my back. I cannot remember
much more, as I was stunned by the blow.

light. I saw, however, that the disc was all right
and indicated " all clear." It was dusk ; but it was
light enough to see that on the bank.
Mr. Merriman—Are you not instructed when a
signal-lamp is out to stop the train ?
Witness—Our instructions are when a distance
lamp is out to go on to the next signal.
Mr. Merriman—How far should you have gone
past the distance signal before you stopped?
Witness—Until we got to the auxiliary, and then
if that had been out we should have stopped. If
the auxiliary showed all right our duty was to go on.
By the Foreman—l certainly expected to see a
white light at the distance signal, but as it was
not there I looked at the disc, and saw that it was
all right.
The coroner here indicated that he should take
the evidence of every person who presented himself
before him, whether his conduct might have been
such that it might hereafter be called in question or
not.

James Manwell, driver of the Brighton up train,
corroborated the evidence given by the fireman
Hunt and by the last witness as to the signals, ex-
cept that he stated that there was " a shave"of whi:te
light in the distance signal where the last witness'
said there was none. As it was so small he sounded
the whistle, shut off steam, and prepared to stop.
When he got up to it, however, he saw the auxiliary
and the semaphore showing the proper green
light. He then took off the break and proceeded
with the train. About 50 yards further he saw the
head light of a train coming. He spoke to his mate
and said, " Good God, is that a train coming? If
it is he is coming right upon us." Witness found
that he was foul of the road, so he put on steam
and tried to get across, but in an instant the Ports-
mouth engine ran into his tender. Witness's en-
gine broke away from the train, and he stopped it
just beyond the signal box. The signalman stood
outside close by the ladder. Witness said to him,
" Good God, how was this managed ? My signals
were all right." He said, " Yes, if you were coming
off the branch ; go back-and look for yourself ; the
main line signals are at 6 stop.' " Witness was at
that time standing looking at the signals. The
semaphore was at " stop," but he could not see the
distance. James, the under-guard of the Ports-
mouth train, observed that the down distance signal
was off, and witness replied, " I can't answer for
yours—l know mine showed all right."
By Mr. Merriman—Our instructions are if a lamp
is out to regard it as a stop or danger signal. The
distance signal was not out. There was a little

light in it.
It was next proposed to call the signalman, but
as it appeared that his instruction-book was not in
court, it was determined at this point to adjourn
the inquiry.
An adjournment accordingly took place to Fri-
day next, when the company will produce plans of
the line and all the instruction books required.
