POLICE o. THB TIxTH WARD.-As the police

Sergeant Davis presiding, some lit;le sstonsh-
ment and excitement was created by the appearance
Of the late Lieutenant Reed, with considerable
Der of the old force Of this ward, lately d.sharsed.
Leute nant Reed suggested thss they appeared
to report for Guty m accordance with the sugges-
ticn of Superintendent Talmadgs, who, he stated,
bad told them when they had presented shem-
selves to him for duty that he knew nothing
about their case and could give them no satisfaction;
that Mr. TallmaJge had told them tast If they were
polio. men, they should report TO the Station. House,
Lieut., Reed concluded by saying that they then cp-
peand to report for duty accordingly Sergeant DAVIS
replied that they were mistaken % 10 their being
policemen; that g had nOtiied them oil on previous
occasion to report for duty, when they had treated

Refused TO obey his orders and even threatened vo-
lerce that they had oil been properly discharged from
the Department and he could donsthhg for them until
further orders fem headquarters; when he wanted
them he would seud for them. Lieutenant Reed stated
that they had expected to be treated at least like
gentlemen. The gentlemen Of the old force then re-
tired, in DO very amiable mood, though sew

uttered and have reverberatsd between the
sides OF the chasm.
The Hamilton Spectator, says the scene
was the most fearful we ever witne -
The engine and tender went to the bottom OF
the deep canal, there to remain invisible, it
nav be, for weeks. The first passenger car
was complete wreck. Falling on its roof
and crashing through the ice, its weight was
not sufficient to sink it entirely below the
surface At first it was said that every one
in this car had pcrished. We have since
heard of four who have escaped. The last car
fell on its end. and remained in that position
for some time. Those within, must have been
thrown from where they were sitting, and
struck against the sides of the car, the seats.
stoves and brass fixtures. a confused mass
of living and dead bodies were thus thrown
to one end of the car; the water rushed in
upon them and but few were taken out
alive.
The jury of inquest proceeded to the
bridge to investigate the causes of the acci-
dent. 1t was agreed that no blame attaches
to the swtchman or to the engineer. The
front axle of the locomotive seems to have
broken. The engine probably was partly
on the rails until half way over the bridge,
when it fell from the rails to tie timber
framing, a distance Of fully Is inches. The
shock thus caused seems to have snapped the
whole structure. 1t is said that the engi-
ncer (brave fellow. whistled "on brakes" and
while endeavoriDg to avert the catastrophe,
went down with the engine and never rose
again.
The axle OF the engine must have broken
before the wheel reached the switch, which
thus failed to guide the engine upon the track.
One gentleman, who jumped oil, says that the
engineer, instead of attempting to escape at
the first warning, staid until the moment
when the engine was precipitated into the
abyss, and was reversing the engine, endeav-
oring, if possible. to prevent the fatal result
II this be true, too much praise cannot be be-
slowed on the brave fellow who thus nobly
did his duty duty.
The city authorities Of Hamilton set apart
day for public humiliation, fasting and pay
er on the part OF citizens, which was to be
observed by general cessation of business
and labor, and divine service in all the
churhes. Preparations are making for the
funeral Of the victims in all the churches.
