Mount Vernon for water at hour other than agreed
upon with the conductor Of the lower section train,
the two trsiDs together al point where there is
short curve in the road.
The lover-section train was backing very slowly at
the time, otherwise the accident would have proved
Of more serious character than it did. Both loco
motives wee slightly damaged, and one gravel car
vas badly smashed The wreck was cleared away in
about twenty minutes 90 that no delay eccasoned
10 any passenger train. The men who were so
aerously Injured were brought to the city by the ex
press train, aud placed in the Hospital.
A singular case was yesterday submitted to Judge
Roosevelt The committee of q lunatic obtained a
divorce for him, and application made in regard
10 costs. /. Will be question whether msn not in
his right mind can ask for divorce through his CON-
mi,tee VII en- in his sound mid he had desired
H. On his recovery might be painful TO him to find
that he had been deprived Of his wife.

the country. The edfce itself is Gothic-built OF
Connecticut blue stone with brow stone trimmings.

windows, the recess behind the pulpit with its besus
fal srch--the chancel, with its pulpit, communion
table ard readiDgdesk of black walnut, aud baptisma
font OF white marble-all combine to make it one OF
the most attractive Church interiors of this CITY, From

tire cost Of the Church. with the ground and furniture
amounts to about $50 600.
