FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT YoSKEas.-On
Monday morning German named Adam Smith &C
companied by bis wife and daughter, laughing liite
creature, wild with delight at the prospect of day in
the country, landed from the steamboat Armenia at
Yonkers. On his way to the Palisaae Quarries in
which be was employed while waiting to cross the
river, he incas.iously stood upon the railroad track;
the o'clock down express train came laundering
along, but the mans back was toward Il, and he did
not zee his danger.
The engineer blew bio whistle furiously but the
poor fellow deaf, the warning was worhesst to
him. and in few seconds more the locomotive srnck
him in the side, breaking his arm and hurting him
high into the air lie fell head foremost upon pile of
stones crushing bis skull and killing him instantly.
The body was kindly cared for by the people Of the
place, and the CoroNer summoned. Meanwhile the
wife and little daughter instead of accompanying him
to the scene of his daily toll sat down by the corpse
to watch and weep over The remains till the legal in.
qury should take place, and permission be accorded
them 10 convey the dead husband and paren, TO their
now desolate home in New York.
The residence of deceased was IN Tenth avenue be.
tween Forty. and FOrty-ifth streets. We are
informed that express trains dash through Yonker at
great speed and the citizens have to cross and re-
the tracks IN going tothe two steamboat landings
they fear that, unless some precaution is taken,
Wholesale destruction of life may day be the
sequence.

THE N-W COuRT-HoUsE IN The PARE.-A de-
scription from the architects drawings, Of the new
COuIt-House for which ground has just been broken on
the Chambers-street end of the Park lie interesting
enough TO be read by that portion of the public who
are in the habit of daily passing the City Hail. The
dimensions of the COurt-House are TO be pa feet in
extreme Length, 1l2 feet wide in the center portion,
and l46 feet wide al each end, where there two
wings like those of the City Hall. The archi-
lecture is of the Corinthisn order, though not
elaborated in all the details. In many respects the
Court House will resemble the City Hall. The center
portion and wings Of the same shape; the wide
massive stone steps in front alike and the rounda
and dome in the center are Of similar design but on
going up stairs there will be found two separate
flights leading to disconnected portions Of the build.
ing, and situated in contrary directions from the TO-
tunda. There will be basement story Of II feet
in hight; the first story will be p feet and the
second % feet; beside which there will be attic
of 10 feet in the center portion. The finest
feature, INTELLECTUALLY, of the new Court-House,
will belts lofty roomy chaste and magnificent rotunda,
which is 20 feet in hight from apex to base and 50
feet WIDE the roof being principally of glass; to afford
plenty Of light and ventilation In the courtrOOms from
the Interior With reference TO the accommodations pro-
yded we may state that 1.-THE smaestof the courrooms
are 32x42 feet, and the largest l6x50. number Of
smaller rooms will afford conveniences TO judges
juries, and eounsclOrs 4 portion Of the attic
win be devoted to tie keeping Of Old documents The
b ard Of Supervisors is fortunate enough to have
among its own members architect of high standing,
Mr. Little, and a mason, Mr.. Stewart, under whose
joint labOs the building viii speak for itself
Not than the basement story will, however, be
concluded this Fall. The building will be Of white
marble, from come Connecticut quarry, which the
Supervisors are about going up to look at. Nova-Scoa
stone will be used for faengs. At present there il
contract entered ino it being thought that sufficient
time could not be allowed TO make one, il the work
were 10 be commenced before cold weather. A Mr.
Tucker is the superintendent the ground. The iron
fence along Chambers street has been taken down and
removed and very high board fence ineloses the
whole scene of operations which at present consist
principally Of excavations the site of an old grave
