darkness rendering the horrors Of the confusion
so much greater. On the engine and tender were
Lew Ritter, engineer; Harry Hill telegraph op.
orator; James Moran, fireman; Michael Toohey,
brakeman, and q boy named linton. The Gre.
man narrowly saved his life by jumping, escap-
ing with both legs horribly crushed.

The brakeman had an arm broken and flesh
torn from the face.
Hill, the operator, was killed, and the engineer
so badly Injured that he cannot live until morn.
ing. Hill, who was only twenty years old, met
horrible death. The body was crushed lnlO On

with them as nurse. From Dieppe she wrote to
her husband, asking permission to accompany
the Llvi gstons to America. He assented, and
she came, and for time she wrote him plea .ant
letters, intimating that she would return at no
distant day. Meantime Livingston's wife died.
The nurses letters to her husband ceased. Those
to Der other relatives said that she did not care to
return to her husband, whom she characterized
as lazy. Then all letters stopped. The husband
wrote TO Livingston and received a reply that his
wife sailed long ago for France. The husband
set the police to work, and they could find no
trace OF the woman. Then he came to America.
The" bIuffed him off when he called al the Liv.
ingston mansion up The Hudson, and, convinced
that his wife is there, he took TO the courts. The
writ was made returnable on Friday next.
Livingston is wealthy and we'll known here
he has a mansion In Washington Square, this
city as well as one In Duchess county.
