in the employ OF the company was willing 10
disclose yesterday, but which appears to have
been nothing but sheer carelessness or
neglect, either on the part Of the engineers
or the men in charge of the signals.
At the point where the collision took place the
rails OF the Centre street and Market street
branches join. The locomotives Of both trains
were knocked into 'pi," as were also several

About three months ago it was
noticed that many convicts and some
keepers at Sing Sing, in the quarry
gang, were more or aless intoxicated

were the devices to catch theasupposed
smuggler OF liquor. Friday night one

victs talking in his cell and say

you ; why don't you sityup straight?'
The guard looked in and saw the con-
Wet addressing pop bottle, which
he then tooksfrom him. It had oder
Of whiskey, and the convict, who. was
drunk, was questioned by the. warden.
He said he bou4 hit the whiskey from
the curry distillery at one dollar per
bottle. Under ledge, hidden by
some boards, the warden found John
Short, a convict, at work in his distii-
lery He had an iron Kettle board
over, which he used as boiler, some
old barrels contained the mash, which
was a mass Of bread, corn, tomatoes,
apples, potatoes and carrots. The
still was in full blast, and from half
inch gass pipe, twisted into a worm,
ran stream of tolerably fair spirits.
John was searched and one hundred

sold his stuff at 81 per bottle, the

and helped him regulate his establish
