COMMUNICATION FROM A PASSENGER.


To the Edto, Of Then. y Tribune.
SIR: Being one Of the passengers on the express
train on which the collision occurred wish to stale
what NV convictions as to its cause, No one can
well attach any blame 20 the conductor and engineer
of the express train The facts show that they were
prompt to do all that could be done to prevent the
disaster.
The fault must rest with the stationmaster at Pough
keepse or the officers of the Poughkeepse tran II the
sationm can be justified in sending Of the train
within the short space of five minutes after our tram
left there the fault must rest with the conductor of
the Poughkeepse train. 1t is my deliberate convic-
ton corroborated by Others who were eyewitness
with myself, that the conductor was the most
guilty in permitting his train to be run at 6
speed of 30 miles per hour before coming to
that curve or cut, being so short distance
from his starting point and at so short time after tho
other train left the very fact that he saw no signal,
white or red, # he had been man of prudence, he
would have considered enough not to put on q
full head of steam until he had passed the curve.
Such reckessness may be excused if dollars and cents,
and locomotives and cars the only considerations;
but where human life is at stake, careless man Is
murderer. l don't speak this with any unknd
feelings toward the conductor; but having so
narrowly escaped instant death, feel deeply, and
know that others feel as do. One word in regard to
the mchc testimony of the conductor of the express
train | believe to be correct; certainly had not
stopped over three minutes before the collision.

VERDICT OF THE CORONERS JURY.

NERDlCI Ot HE NOhoNEh Jtni.
The following dispatch reached Us by telegraph at
O'Clock this morning:
Special Dispatch to The n. Y. Tribune.
PorcHKFrPsiE, Friday, Jan. II, 1856.
The Jury impanneled by Coroner Taylor at the Ex-
change House rendered the following verdict last night
"The Jury find that James Gordon and Elizabeth
Hmlburt came to their deaths in collision on the
Hudson River Railroad, which caused by the
Poughkeepsic way train running into the of the
Albany express on the afternoon OF the 9th nst about
two miles south of the Poughkeepsie Station; that
the accident mainly the result of the most gross
stupidity the part Of the fagman stationed at this
point who instead Of attending TO the signal when
notified, remaining at bis post, or going further north,
he had time to do, and then displaying the red flag
and warning the approaching Poughkeepse train, left
his proper position and proceeded south toward the
standing express train until sent back by the conductor
While wertgard the police system adopted by the IIud
son River Railroad Company of placing fagmen along
its line for the protection Of life and property as worthy
OF the highest commentator, at the time we re-
gard the Company deserving of severe censure by
employing men incompetent TO GIL such responsible
positions. We also find that the Poughkeepse train
remained at the station only five six minutes after
the express had left and would deprecate the practice
Of allowing one train to follow another in SO short
time, and consider it mprudent and attended with
great danger We believe that the engineer of the
Poughkeepsie train used his utmost endeavors to stop
Immediately upon discovering the signal; STILL by run
ming his train fast when following another.
would indicate lack Of due caution on his part rs re-
qured by his instructions from the Hudson River Rail
road Company This Jury exonerate the conductor and
engineers of the express train from all blame beev
ing that they acted wisely and promptly in endeayor
ing TO prevent the collision. f.. Il.

Sharp Business Operation.

The New York Euening Post gives the
particulars of a keen business transaction
in that city, which seemed to be mixed in
equal parts with love and money. A
school girl, and only child. received the
addresses of a young man, which coming
to the ear OF her father, he had an inter-
view with the lover, and. by dint of per-
suasion and thousand dollars, got his
promise to cease his visits. For while
the separation seemed permanent, but af-
ter few weeks apparent forgetfulness of
her sweetheart, the girl informed her
friends that three days previous thereto
she was married to the bought-off lover,
but returning directly from the house of
the officiating clergyman, she had not
seen her husband since the ceremony.
The father, distressed beyond measure,
again sought the young husband, and,
after much persuasion, got from him a
promise to sign written agreement re-
leasing his marital rights, and relinquish-
ing all control over his wife. The father
willingly handed over four thousand dol
lars, and the papers were to be signed at
ten o'clock, the next day. Atnine O'Clock

dollars in his pocket, called and deman.
ded his wife, and she departed with her
husband, leaving her father minus five
thousand dollars and a daughter. ast
